World Delegates Will Tour Canada Ottawa, Canada.--Delegates from forty nations attending the World's Poultry Congress in Ottawa July 27th to August 4th will make a tour of Canada from coast to coast immediately following the Congress. Preliminary announcements of the tour have heen made from the World's Poultry Congress offices here. 'j he tour will be made by special train leaving Ottawa on August 4th and covering first Quebec and the Maritime Provinces as far east as Halifax, Nova Scotia". Stops will be ■ made at the principal places of interest, particularly from an agricultural point of view. The special train will then tour Western Canada, making stops at Winnipeg, Brandon, Re-gina, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, at a number of famous beauty spots in the Rocky Mountains, at Vancouver and Victoria and other points en route. Upon their return East the delegates will visit Niagara Falls and the party will disband at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, on August 31. This tour of approximately eight thousand miles, which has been arranged through the co-operation of Canadian Government Departments and the Canadian railways, will afford prominent visitors from many lands an opportunity to gain an impression of Canada's extent and resources which would not have been possible had their visit been confined to the World's Poultry Congres in Ottawa. About three thousand delegates from the United States are expected to attend the Congress, a number of whom will be included in the party making the tour of Canada. ... all washing and cleanmq tSbh Getting There.

Quebec and Canada Quebec Sollel (Lib.): At the moment when every province is preparing to celebrate Confederation and to recapitulate the progress achieved during the last sixty years, it is in order to point out that the present development of Canada was above all and before all made possible by the French-Canadian element established on the shores of the St. Lawrence one hundred and fifty years before everybody else. They were a hundred and fifty years of rough toil and sacrifice, of war, ambush, fatigue and sometimes abandonment. Then was formed the real neucleus of what we call to-day the Canadian nation.

"That is all we want of you, Mr. Neville. And Mrs. Valdon, also a friend of Mr. Folsom's sister, will tell her that we--the management-- have done all we can to obey the law, and also keep the matter as---er-- private as possible." Carmelita Valdon smiled a little. "Personally, I should thank you, Mr. Dixon," she said, "for keeping things quiet. But I may as well tell you that Miss Folsom is not like that. She is--how shall I put it?--rather given to publicity, rather fond of-- er--notoriety. I do not mean that she would make capital of her brother' death to bring herself into the limelight, but she is not at all averse to prominence in print." "You amaze me, Mrs. Valdon," Dixon said.

Ross was startled out of his conventional manner as well as out of his usual calm. "Yes. He was stabbed while in bathing." "Stabbed? I don't understand." Doctor Manning then took up the tale and told the astounded looking valet what had happened to Garrett Folsom. "But--but who could have done it, sir?" the man asked, as the tale came to its close.

Though said in a quiet voice, the query was flung out suddenly, and purposely, with an intent to take Ross off his guard. (To be continued.) Everyone Works in Canada Ottawa, Canada..--More persons are employed in agriculture in Canada than in any other industry, according to a report on "Occupations" recently issued by the Canadian Government Bureau of Statistics. The report, which is based on the 1921 Census, discloses that the greatest number of Canadian workers were engage agriculture, which gave employment to 1,041,61 persons. Manufacturing came next with 546,657. There were 3,173,169 persons over 10 years of age gainfully employed in Canada in 1921. Of this number 2,-683,019 were men and 480,150 women. These figures show that 47..5 per cent, of the total population was engaged in some gainful occupation. Of the male population over 10 years of age 77..5 per cent, were employed in some trade or occupation. Making allowance for boys ■ still at school and students in the colleges, practically every able-bodied male in Canada was either at work or available for-employment. Employment in Canada in 1921 was divided into three groups roughly equal in size. The primary industries, agriculture, logging, fishing and trapping, and mining and quarrying --gave employment to 1,161,788 persons. The secondary industries-- manufacturing, transportation and instruction--employed 999,951 persons. The third group--trade, finance, pro- j fessional, clerical and domestic service--gave employment to 1,011,430 ' persons. The report makes it clear that in Canada no one cares to be idle.
