Toronto, Nov. 2=The three lar- gest milling companies in Canada have just issued their annual reports howing aggregate profits of $1, 406,000, or but $4,600 less than for the previous year. This showing. in view of the world-wide depression prevailing for the past few months, is a very creditable one, and the pro- babilities are that the coming year will be even a profitable one to our milling companies. Borrowings. Ottawa, Nov Canada has borrowed £5 46,000 in the Bri- tish market. - The interest on this borrowed money amounts to a very tidy sum each year, and if Canada is going to make the progress she should make, it will be necessary for her to produce more and deve- lop her natural resources to the full- est possible extent. There is no excuse for this country not being able to pay its interest with the pro ducts of our farms, forests, mines, fisheries and 'factories. More than at any other time in our history there is need far us to adopt Carly- le's advice and "produce." Heavy now Deal Is Arranged.

Cripples Who Have Won Renown. Many persons, crippled in early age, have, notwithstanding their infirmity, made a name for themselves in the history of the world.

Both Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott were lame. Sir Walter's lame- ness was caused by a kick from a horsé when acting as quartermaster of the Edinburgh Light Cavalry. Mrs. Browning, the distinguished English poetess, was of a delicate con stitution, and never enjoyed robust health. Her sufferings were due to an accident which happened in her six- teenth year.
