i predicted completioh of trade treaties with united states and great britain some time in septemberpenal re form gradually taking place by spectator ottawa aug 9th oh the ev- enlng of august 6th word went out from ottawa to the farmers of can ada that the canadian wheat board would-buy-any- wheats of fered tothe board by the farmers at 80 cents a bushel on the basis or no 1 northern delivered at port william this is the min fixed price for the season just opsnedi and applies to the har vest rapidly coming to maturity m the prairie provinces farmers selling to the wheat board will receive the price of 80 cents a bushel and a par ticipating certificate which will give the farmer a share in any profit made by the wheat board operations during the season that is if the average price received by the board by its sale of wheat is higher than 80 cents a bushel the fanner will share in the profit if the average price is lower than the 80 cents the loss will be bom by the public exchequer it was ex plained when the momentous an nouncement was made that all cir cumstances were taken into account the position or western canada in re cent years the world situation today there was a careful checking of the position of western canada in rela tion to the east the price was that recommended by the wheat board to the government the wheat board will pursue its pol icy of keeping canadian wheat hi competition on world markets this means- there will be no holding of canadian wheat from sale even if the price paid by the board is higher than the price ruling in the market there will be no forced accumulation of stocks or hoarding of wheat and the canadian and world milling trade will be able u buy canadian wheat at market prices the net result of this would be that canada will continue its policy of encouraging the sale of canadian wheat without any artifi cial restrictions and if the average price of wheat happens to be lower during the season now opening than the guaranteed price of 80 cents the loss to be borne by the dominion treasury will be in effect a bonus to the western farmer who in the past few years has suffered such heavy los ses through the ravages of drought and who now appears in a position to better ills condition the price of october futures in wheat has been running a few- cents under the 80 cents guaranteed price the lower trend of prices has been caused by the good crops reported from the united states canada the danublan and wheat importing coun tries of europe the trend has reflec ted the oplnkmof world traders on prospective supply and demand fac tors influencing prices will vary not even the most astute trader can pre dict the exact trend in the days and weeks to came the western farmer however is now assured of a definite minimum for his wheat trade treaty with the united states in relation to the sale of wheat the winnipeg oram exchange has writ ten the government here urging that the six cent a bushel preference in our principal grain market the united kingdom be preserved the letter was based on press- reports from the uni ted states which indicated that an ef fort is being made to bring the united states into the operation of this pre ference the progress of the three cornered negotiations that have been going on at washington in connec tion with a trade treaty between the united states and the united king dom and the united states and can ada has been cloaked in silence that it is not possible to say defin itely that this point has been serious ly discussed although that might pro bably be the case points raised by australia in regard to the effect of the proposed us uj agreement on imperial preferences illustrate still further the complexity of the nego tiations those whb are carrying on the negotiations in washington in these hot days are not to be envied it is now predicted that the pacts will be completed some time m september tsarist hhrhways and mining beads in addition to the work

signed to improve the health of you and your children care should be ta ken that proper benefit of this holi day is gained and that its benefit is not impaired by accident or prevent able disease the following precau tions are eminently worth while 1 be sure that the water supply is safe if you are not satisfied with the character of this supply boll the vat- cool and aerate it by pouring the water from one jug to another also ask the provincial health department information as to a practical method of purifying water some provinces furnish a simple apparatus for this purpose at cost an addi tional precaution is the use of anti typhoid vaccine which also is sup plied by the health department 2 do not take unnecessary risks when swimming learn the simplici ty of the schafer method of artificial respiration and teach your lads how to practice it on one another 3 take a small firstaid kit with you there will always be bums bites and scratches to be dressed 4 if you are camping out extin guish all fires before you leave camp 5 one of the most important pre cautions is that you and your child ren avoid the use of raw milk if pasteurised milk is not available heat the milk in a double boiler to 145 degrees f maintain this temperature for 30 minutes then rapidly cool the milk to 40 or 50 degrees f and keep it at this temperature until it is used pasteurization kills all the disease germs in the milk the on of milk so treated does not injure the quali ties of the product its use may save your child from a host of milkborne diseases some years ago a clergyman and his young wife settled in a small town hi ontario their baby had to be brought up on the bottle and the parents al ways pasteurized the milk themselves when they went shopping in an ad jacent city the couple were accus tomed to leave the child hi the care of two young women members of the congregation the mother neglected to warn these friends as to pasteuris ing the milk and having no know ledge of its dangers the young wo men fed the baby raw muk when she was 9 years old thechlm hither to healthy developed a lameness ex amination showed that she had hlp- dlsease a tuberculous affection often caused

as its business men rely on a few merchants to make die effort to bring trade to town too often the men in a few lines of trade are about the only ones that reach out after cus tomers other merchants wait until these men in duce people to come to town and content themselves with trade that naturally drifts to their place a public spirited man should ask himself if he is doing his best to attract people to come to town to trade in helping the entire business com and no town is a success unless all lines are working to extend the trade as far as possible and trying to bring a larger territory in the circles in which the town is the business centre
