df nations covenant so far has caused little interest in great britain official quarters do not appear to treat the resolution as a question of prac tical interest the only comment forthcoming is that it seems useless to scrap the world court already well organized and functioning satisfactorily for a new one which seems to be practically identical with it in purpose it is generally conceded that a

editorial church- union compromise the church union bill was still beforo committee when we went to press and probably will not emerge befbre today or tomorrow the fight has been not only keen but bitter in tho- extreme and in well- cm formed circles there has grown up the impression that the probable outcome will- be an amendment acceptable to both sides an amendment whereby the bhlwili be- reported its principle carried and ap- proved with a provision whereby individual presby- terian congregations so desiring may within a period ofobcinonths or one year register their desire not to abe

considered the great food crops such as wtieatj barley oats rye corn potatoes field jfr roots and garden vegetables but in the fruits wjuch j- can be grown in great- variety and of such high ex-

considerably from those of the political speechmak ers a prominent financial institution says the an nouncement of the governments fiscal policy hasj at least put an end to the uncertainty and apprehension on the part of tho business world which generally precedes the delivery of the budget speech and which was this year greater than usual on aaoijat of the predominance of the tariff question farmers and manufacturers alike arte now more disposed than over before to work out their own salvation and to depend upon their own efforts rather than tho vague hbpe of la political panacea one sign of this is to be found in the attention now being given 4o mixed farming especially in the prairie provinces btisi ness in the manufacturing districts cannot be said to be at present very active it is reported from certain points that spring orders are coming to hand in satis factory volume but oh the other hand there have been a number of disappointments taking employ ment as an index

equally strong appli- 5 cation for community lire tho holding of a piece of vpro town entails certain moral as well as legal obligations upon the owner if ho is an un- ureaaonabre person and disregards the welfare of tho b community and of his neighbors to the extent of fenuking his property a public nuisance the munici- fv pality will take cognizance of the fact and send a jman around

responsibility to their neighborhood by maintaining at all times a course or action that has an eye to tho welfaro a of their fellow citizens and to the advancement of the j community as a whole a single careless property- on an otherwise wellkept street will mar the st perfection of tho whole whereas a uttlc extra care fjpn his part might even add to the beauty of his jfl property and spur on
