canada stands fifth in tho worlds production of gold in 1010 the total production of gold in the world amounted to 22107- 7g0 lino ounces or tho value or 457000045 in production tho south african dominions lead wifh a olal production or 0290848 ounces the united states second with 4470657 ounces australia third with 1002154 ounces russia fourth with 1273302 ounces canada 0fth with 030402 ounces and rhod esia sixth with 030356 ounces the gold production of the british empire in 1010 was 14229844 ounces or 04 per cent of tho worlds total as given in tho canada year book for 1018 tho liquor tralbc is the biggest enemy to the pros perity and welfare of any country it has blighted more homes than war take care that in the forth coming referendum tho liquor interests dont get it mixed up with political issues and further be on guard against tho insidious talk or certain agitators against prohibition who prate about personal- liberty every man who thinks knows verily that the drink traffic has more slaves and has deprived more men of their personal liberty than any other influence the world ever knew tho governing powers of the united states have taken unmistakably strong ground on the question of the prohibition of the liquor traffic for beverage purposes last week the prohibition forces in the house of representatives refused by an overwhelm ing majority to permit a voto on a straightout motion to repeal the wartime prohibition act they also defeated an amendment providing for the salo of 2y per cent beer and stood solidly by the one- half of 1 per- cent clause of the pending bill as orig inally drafted the cost of liviqg and industrial unrest loomed largo in tho discussions of the sessions just closed of tho house of commons a committee which began rather late nevertheless accomplished considerable in exposing the cause of the high cost of living an inordinate spread of prices- in various commodities was disclosed and the remedy which is proposed is tho extermination of combines and tho regulation of business and a fair price a board authorized by two bills which went through in tho closing days or the session the commission on industrial relations was unable to agree but the reports presented will furnish food for an interprovincial conference in the fall to the end that in the remedial legislation the s be no overlapping a western mother wroto to a friend respecting the business section of the town in which she now re sides back of almost all our stores are found very undesirable conditions piles of trash composed of papers packing boxes sweepings and sometimes garbage are found these eventually constitute a nuisance and are flyproducing conditions and also a serious fire hazard wonder if any one could write that conditions exist behind stores which are not situated in the newer towns of the west but in places which were doing business half a century before stores in the new western towns were thought fctlr industrial disputes involving strikes and loss of time and wages to employers are serious indeed when viewed in the aggregate and just now when the country needs and the people need that every pos sible conservation of time be observed and employed in some useful productive work it is greatly to be regretted that the stakes of the past month or two have entailed a heavily increased loss of time there were in existence at some time or other during the month of june 80 strikes involving 87017 work people and resulting in a loss of about 1445021 workingdays as compared with 84 strikes- 77688 workpeople and 893816 working days in may 1010 and 32 strikes 1 1888 workpeople and 46041 working days in june 1018 magistrate cohen read a muchneeded lesson to aliens who arejnaking their living in canada in police court at toronto last friday that deporta tion from canada will follow if striking garment workers persist in the disorderly conduct was the statement he made when he heard the case against sam betman who was charged with assaulting two otrikc-breakcts- be w fined 40 and costsvor sixty days in spite of the protests of counsel for the flaaolat which the strike is in progress who declared that fines were useless since they would only bo paid by the- union the result will be said the magis- trate that these people will be deported if they cannot keep tho peace here they can fight in their own country few realize the important relation which canadas wealth in water power bears towards reaping tho full benefit from her numerous other natural resources it is true that these other resources would not other wise be entirely lost to the country but they would have to beejtported as raw material in its most primary state witnna minimum return to us tho presence of cheap power which is almost invariably found side by side with these other resources facili tates their development while their full industrial value is retained in being able to deliver them as a fully manufactured product it may be even pe m it tod to predict that this cheap power will soon attract raw material from other countries especially from the united states if any further evidence were needed of the satis factory effectiveness of the prohibitory law it was emphatically given here on saturday during tho great peace celebration of the war veterans association acton celebrated peace

he says he found absolutely novkjcrm anywbereof the presence or the effects of liquor after such an effective demonstration of tho beneficial effects of tho absence of intoxicating liquorit will be a selfish man indeed who will for personal libertys sake voto for and induce other to vote for the defeat of tho prohibitory law now prevailing for his personal liberty to get drunk and disturb the peace on such a day or any- day he would selfishly deprive hundreds of the homes of acton of the comforts they now enjoy would break the hearts of faithful wives and spoil the lives of scores of

the work of compilation courts or appeal win be held later for the revision of the lists but the suporters of prohibition should see that their names are placed upon tho lists now with the celebration

versailles with thdse of the world powers from the time the first british settler came to this country the possibilities were hero of founding and developing a great nation to eventually take its place along with the other great nations of the world many weary years have intervened since then and at times it seemed as if such a thing could never bo accomplished but the faith of tho pioneers has been justified and they who builded better than they knew bequeathed to their children a rich heritage which is now reaching its full fruition its growth has been accelerated not forced by the

lower forms should not bo overburdened with homework he realizes that the pressure of homework is due as much to the zeal of the teachers as to tho burden of tho course of study and he asks the
