And Prices In Canada Will Not Rise! v1 Very Much. The' temporary and partial panic] in Camda which, almost inevitably, ! accompanied the outbreak of war, did affect--indeed, it is still, in a meas- ure, affecting--our living costs for a time. It resulted in a certain artifi- cial rise in prices. But already, to a large extent, these are seen to be re- ceding almost to normal levels. The prime "necessaries of life". may, for the vast majority of us, be said to be foodstuffs. These con- sist of breadstufts, meat, d pro- duce, vegetables, and "frul If we have a sufficient supply of these in this country, no matter how long or widespread the war, there is no rea- son why we meed fear that we shall not be able to get them at a reason- able price. We are large exporters of bread- stuffs. Of wheat alone we exported last year one hundred and twenty-six million bushels, of a value of over $123,000,000. We also exported nearly five million barrels of wheat flour, of a value of over $20,000,000. On the other hand, our imports of wheat.and wheat flour are practically nil, as are those of oats and barley. This year, while the harvest in On- { | lario is good, that in the West .is Sajid to be less than last year's by something like a third: About nine- tenths of our exported 'wheat, six- sevenths of our exported)barley, and two-fifths of our exportddi oats go to Great Britain. Roughly speaking, we are more than self-supporting so far as our sapply of meat is concerned. Last Year we exported spproximately $5,- 000,000 worth._of meat of "various kinds, and imported about $6,500,- 000 worth. Our principal imports in the meat line were bacon and pork-- to the tune of about $2,500,000 worth -- mutton and lamb -- about $566,000 worth--and beef -- about $443,000 worth, mostly from the U. 8,, which source of supply is still open to us.

It is often stated that the Cana- dian timber wolf is a coward, like his Russian cousin, but this accusation is far from being true. The wolves have become skulking and nocturnal in -babits simply because they have learnt, by sorrowful experience, that man is a creature to be avoided. To- day the wolves in prairie regions are as timid as the coyotes, but in the | days when they followed at the heels of the great buffalo herds, picking off the stragglers, this was not the case. Seton tells of a wolf that en- tered the camp of a party of buffalo hunters, where it was attacked by a dog. The men scared the brute away by firing at it. Later in the night, mortally wounded though it was, the wolf returned into thie glare of the camp-fire and killed the dog that had molested it. Some years ago a wolf fook up its quarters near Winnipeg city and be- came a notorious murderer of dogs. Night after night it ventured into the streets of the city, within the glare of the lamps, killing dogs be- longing to citizens. About five years ago a little girl visiting an: Ontario lumber camp lost her way one dark night in "passing from the cookhouse to her father's bungalow, and wandered off into the forest. She wandered till midnight, when she was much, frightened on hearing the howlingiof wolves quite néir at hand, and, of cqurse, climbed a tree. a silent group round the foot of the tree. > Later the girl saw lanterns moving in the forest towards her, and, guess- ing rightly that it was the rescue she shouted a warning to them. Hearing her voice, her father ran towards the tree, the re- mainder of the party holding back. The wolves vanished as he drew near, but as he gained the foot of the | tree one of them suddenly leapt from the shadows, dashing the lantern r the--man's hand wna ICAving Shortly the wolves, running | her 'trail, appeared, and gathered in Broiling or toasting is done better and more because the broiler door -on a M¢Clar ndo permits using the{largest 4 ang © toaster gud placing iticlose to" the fire.

HAD MILITARY SPIRIT, Walked Ninety Miles to Train to Go to War. An incident that will wring the heart of every mother is the action of a Toronto young man, John Owen Leach, son of Mr. and Mrs. | Fred. Leach, of South Drive Rosedale, a graduate of the Royal Military Col- lege, who is plready on his way to the seat of war. While on a sur- vey party in Northern Omtario the young man = accidentally. saw in newspaper that war had been de- clared, and, taking nothing but the clothes he wore, set out on a ninety- mile walk to the nearest station. Here he arrived in a pitiable state with only one shoe and so travel- stained and shabby in appearance that the porter of the Pullman re fused him admittance. With what little money he possessed he secured a brand-new outfit--cap and all--irom a store nearby, and. caught the rear platiorm as the train steamed out. Arriving in Toronto, he merely rush- ed to bid his mother good-bye, then on to Quebec, enlisting in the ar- tillery, where his brother was an vi- ficer The military spirit is strong in Ca- det Leach, who bears to Belgium the reputations of uncles on both sides ol his house--generals and adnirals-- one of whom sledps in fhe Soudan. $200,000 To Fight Disease.

Immigration to United States Is Cut Down. New York, Oct. 2--The European war has cut down immigration intc the United States to the lowest point in many years. During this month only 22,000 aliens entered the port of New York This compares witk 108,604 this month a year 'ago, ac cording to figures obtained to-day at Ellis Island. More American re fugees arrived during the month than immigrants about 35,000 Immigration had been falling of however, before the war began There .was & noticeable decrease in June and July for which the immi- gration officer said they were unable to aceount..

German Patents In Canada. In connection with the suspension of German patents in Canada the fol- lowing is of interest:-- | Patents and trade marks granted to a subject of any state with which Great Britain is at war are not de- clared to be void, but may be voided or suspended in whole or in part on application to the Board of Trade.' The applicant must put up a fee of two pounds with the application, and a fee of half a crown for deposting foreign documents or other papers for the purpose of record. The Board of Trade may then suspend or vold the patent in whole or in part if it! appears that the persen applying in- tends to manufacture the invention! and if it appears to be in the general | interest of the country or a section of the community or of a trade that] such article should be manufactured ' or any process carried on. The Board | of Trade may at any time in their discretion order the voidance or sus- pension in whole of in part of any patent as they may see fit without Spestal application being made to them, ~ Farm Labor In Ontario. Applicants for work on Ontario farms have been more plentiful this year than for many years, but much of the labor offering has been un- skilled in agriculture, a considerable number of men from towns and ci- ties having this season sought rural employment. The light hay crop, the short, upright straw of the grain crops, and the favorable weather for harvesting have required much less field help at harvesting. Farmers are also utilizing improved machinery more and more in order to save man- ual labor, and many of them have al- 80 developed a system of exchange of work with neighbors which is making them largely 'independent of casual help. Wages show little change, from $1.25 to $2, or even $2.50 (with board) during har- vest, according to skill or locality, and from $20 to $35 per month, with extra good commanding as high as $40. i Passed Scores of Warships. Michael Velario, a vaudeville troupe director, who has arrived in Canada from India, says that on her way to England, from the Mediter- ranean, just after war was declared, one hundred and 6fty battleships of Yariow kinds, both French and Brit- "Anti-German sentiment ran high mn arasillen. he said, "I went into some men pray and do not pay. the boat he was on met no less than |.

The lumberman called to his fellows to assist him, but so great was their fear of the wolves that they hesitated to do so. [Presently, however, a young Englishman, the camp "cookee," arrived upon the scene and at once went to the "boss's" assistance, whereupon the wolves slunk off, A Nelson gentleman was attacked by a single wolf while camping in the Kootenays. The wolf entered his tent at night-time and began worry- ing at his blankets, evidently intent upon killing him. - The man, how- ever, had his hunting-knife handy, and stabbed at the animal several times in the ribs, at which it left the tent whining and coughing. It was found dead next morning within a hundreds yards. Peter Nigosh, an Indian trapper, | was killed in the Lake of the Woods country on January 5th last. The tragedy occurred near the interna- tional boundary, a few miles from the old war road on the Canadian Northern Railway. Nigosh was sur- rounded before he had time to scale a tree, and two days later his people found his bones in the snow, together with his long-bladed hunting-knife, { The half-devoured bodies of nine wolves lay round, showing how des- perately the Indian bad fought for his lite. On the other hand, a Porcupine prospector ran right into the middle of a pack in full cry one winter's night on Nighthawk Lake, North On- tario. The wolves scattertd immedi ately upon seeing him, which was fortunate, since he was unarmed, ~l v A Home-Made Pistol. A rare example of skill, patience, and perseverance is found in the re- markable piece of handicraft that is attracting much attention at Toron- to's big fair this year. Mr. William McArthur, of Gode- rich, Ont., has filed and fitted without the aid of any machinery a pistol that is at omce the admiration of everyone. But when one learns from what a miscellaneous assortment of oddities 'the weapon was made, one can be excused for doubting at first that such an intricate work could be performed by hand. From a sewing macliine shaft the firing barrel was filed, a rat-tail file changed its shape to a firing bolt; a flat file at once became the trigger; & tuning fork was utilised for the barrel-brake, while a piece of sopper steam pipe was.cut and fitted for the stock sides. Surely no other weapon of modern time has had its multitud- inous parts shaped from so varied an assortment of material. Nine years ago the pistol first took shape in the mind of the old Huron- ite, now well over the allotted span of life, and many a dreary winter night has been spent filing and shap- ing the manifold parts that each might fit its proper place with exact~ ness, -- 2 i ss Sideboards, $8.50 and up, Buffets, $20.00.
