New South Wales Establishes Wheat Pool NO MARKET FOR GRAIN SCREENINGS Revenue Lost to Canadian Farmers Through Lack of Southern Demand. A despatch from Fort William, it., says:--Giving up hope of being to sell grain screenings, local ;or.3 have commenced hauling this by-product out into Lake Superioi and dumping it.

They dug up a chest containing gold, silver ar.d jewels worth 20,-000,000 marks (normally about $5,-000,000) which web buried by the famous pirate Stoertebecker at Zem-stedt Osteriven in the marshes south of Cuxhaven. The chest in which the treasure was found measured six by three feet, and was thought to contain brass objects, but tests showed that they were of gold, and they have an art value many times 20,000,000 marks. i Germans since the year 1390 have been hunting for this treasure, cording to German law the finders entitled to 10 per cent., the property owner getting the rest. The owners have been negotiating with the Government, declaring that for patriotic reasons they want the treasures to remain in Germany. It is said that the neighborhood will yield other treasure chests, because Stoertebecker is known to have buried fabulous fortunes. The discovery makes a fact of what had become a national fairy story and folk-song. his family from There is hope now that he will not pay too dearly for his sacrifice. The remarkable success of the seed distribution augurs well for the prospects of Government food distribution, now beginning, which can use the same mechanism. The efficiency of the latter is vouched for by the Canadian trade delegate, Col. Mackie, who has just made a trip to the Volga. He says: "In 30 years of timber cruising in the Canadian Northwest I had ample opportunity to study the best methods of transportation up country from the railroad with my companion, Mr. Wilgress, who speaks Russian fluently. I investigated just how this was being done along the railroad to Kazan and at various points in the Tartar Republic. Frankly, I do net see how it could have been improved." -Gold to the valu $8,194,129, representing 396,391 fine ounces, was produced in Canada during the first six months of the year, according to the official statement. This amount of gold represents 52 per cent, of the amount mined during 1920. A feature of the market for j geld is that all sales to the Royal ! Mint, Ottawa, are paid for in New York funds. Toronto, Ontario.--The week of November 21st to 28th will be known as Canadian Book Week for the purpose of demonstrating to the Canadian people the rapid growth cf native Canadian literature in recent Increasing in Numbers A despatch from London says:--M is officially announced that the military authorities at Madras take a serious view of the strong resistance of the Moplahs in India which may entail more vigorous prosecution of the campaign to suppress the revolt. The recent action of the rebels; shows their resistance is framed' on guerilla lines, accompanied by plunder and terrorism. Armed gangs are getting stronger, and it is surmised that the rebels are swelling in numbers.
