Maio Reliance Must Be Placed on the Home Market. Under ordinary conditions, the British market takes each year about 2,000,000 bushels of Canadian ap- ples. This season practically no early apples have been taken, and the prospects are that very few fall shipments can be made. Unless there ls a marked change in the mear fu ture a large percentage of the crop will have to be held at home, and this in a year of abundant yield, Even if an export trade should become pos- 8ible, it niust be remembered that the fwurchasing power of the British pub- lic has been greatly reduced. The laboring classes, which, after all, are the great consumers, are not in a position to buy luxuries, and the de- mand for fruit will be consequently lessened, In Canada, those who buy apples from the grower in the orchard have not been normally active. Hun- dreds of barrels of early apples have] never left the orchard, and from pre- sent indications a similar fate is in store for mueh of the later fruit. It is safe to presume that fruit which is at all inferior in quality will not be harvested, and that a large quantity of the better grades will be held in storage, pending a possible improvement in con ns, and an increased dersad, If' that demand fails to arise, the plight of the fruit- grower will be a sad one. And who is to create the demand? The consumers in the towns and cities and in the prairie provinces. Apples were never so cheap as they will be this season, and if everyone will do his share to increase conm- sumption, 'not' only by purchasing fruit himself but by telling others to do so, much can be done to help the grower, and at the same time the man in the home will be getting fruit of 'better quality at a lower cost than ever before. For several years a publicity cam- paign has been cairied out by apple growers in the United States to stimulate apple consumption, At the present time the growers of the northwestern states have colored poster in New York, and these will be changed each month to keep the public informed on the varieties that are offered., Canadian growers must adopt a similar scheme if they are to obtain full advantage of the home market, Although not everywhere uniform in quality Canada's apple crop this year promises to be a record one. In former.years it has been our habit to *xport about four million dollars' worth of the fruit .to Great Britain and other countries. Owing to the shortage of ocean freights 'and the high cost of insurance, caused by the war, the export market just now, is practically closed to apples. This is more to be regretted as the crop is certain to be much larger than usual. If there ever was a year when Can- ada needed to husband all her var- ious resources, to make the most of her products, it is surely this one. The artificial value placed upon all food products by the war makes it to be incumbent upon vs to see that nothing our country produces goes to waste, or is not used to fullest ad- vantage. Something should be done and quickly to make a good and pro- fitable use of our apples this year. Our own country is capable of con- suming, to good advantage all round, vastly greater quantities than has been the rule in the past.

An additional Canadian proclama- ton places in the list of conditional contraband of war, copper une wrought, lead, pig sheet or pipe, gly- report an unusually large migration to Europe lately of Italians, Span- {ards and Bulgaridns. "There are always a large num- ber of foreigners going home for the winter, but the number leaving this fall is greatly in excess of former years," said one ticket man recently, Mr. Harry Corti, editor of the Italian Canadian Tribuna, says that although there are a large number of his countrymen going home just now, he ddes not believe that it is their intentions to join the army. The foreign consuls have not yet beep notified of mobilization orders. "The scarcity of work in Toronto and in the province has caused the Italians migrating," sald Mr. Corti. "1 don't. think the war is the primary cause of their returning. There are always a large number going back every autumn, but they are starting earlier this year on account of the conditionrof the labor market. The men who have gone are ummarried, and no doubt they will return in the spring if the labor market revives." Dr. Harley Smith, the Italian Con. sul id Toronto, also ascribed the ex- cessive migration of Italians to the labor market. He stated that more were going back this year than for any year during the past five. There had been no mobilization orders is sued, he also stated. Canadian Timber Wanted. Becoming anxious concerning the supply of timber props for coal mines, hitherto largely supplied from Baltic ports, from which the traffic has been interrupted by the war, the ' British colliery owners, in co-operation with the Board of Trade, are sending spe- clal commissioners to confer with Hamilton Wickes, British Trade Commissioner at Montreal, as to the posgibility of securing a supply from Canada. The value of this trade is $20,000,000 annually, but Mr. Wat- son fears lest Canadian exporters should make their prices prohibitive. She Thanks Canada. The Canadian Government has re- ceived the following letter from a lt- tle English girl, Marjorie Robertson, A ---- - Y FROM THE WAR ZOWw. ' at Perils Encountered by a Canadian Girl Studying Music In Germany. Mise Florence Eggleston is the only resident of London, Ont., who was in Berlin, Germany, at the out- | break of the war, She has returned | to London after many thrilling ex- | periences and says that it would need a volume to tell them all. Miss Eggleston is a talented vio- linist and sailed from Montreal June 27 to study music with a European ; master. After her arrival in London, | Eng., she decided to study with Theodore Spiering, a world-renowned violinist. He, with his family, was at Sanct Peter,"a summer resort on the North Sea near the border of Denmark. From London to Sanct| Peter Miss Eggleston traveled alone, ! rot knowing one word of German, | nor whither she was going. About July .26 rumors of war be- | gan to reach them, and steadily in- creased till they became confirmed by an sdmiral and officers of the German navy, who were summering at Safict Peter, being ordered to their | posts of duty. The following morn- | ing Miss Eggleston left Sanct Peter | pierings for Berlin, where the greatest excitement with the they fou prevailing, Had she not lost her baggage on the way to Berlin, she might have been able to cross to England before war was declared; but she stayed in Berlin hoping that war would not be declared and that she could con- tinue her studies. ! While in the capital she heard the Kaiser's address to the people, wit- nessed the marks of their devotion to him, and patriotic demonstrations, also many scenes of sorrow as the roops left for the front, as well as acts of violence to Russians. Con- veyances became so limited that it cost her $2 to get to a place six blocks away. When England declared war she wag forced to change her boarding Mouse, "the woman with whom she | - had been staying having thanged her! ittitude towards her." So great was the bitterness toward" England that it was necessary for her to remain in the house for three days. She then; received an American passport which gave her protection, but would not | allow her, 'as a British subject, to leave the country, nor was she able, either by cable or letter, to com- municate with her home. As she was able to continue her studies with her teacher, she prac- ticed for hours each day to Keep her mind from the thought of her dan- ger. When on the street she was afraid to speak English. The re- ports which she heard of the war represented Germany as winning and the allies as loging, | After she had been a state prisoner for seven weeks her teacher got het release by taking his oath that he would be respansible for her actions till she reached home, and that she should not go near England. With the Spierings she left Berlin on a train arranged for Americans and upon reaching Rotterdam sailed for home, arriving late In Septem- ber, after a perilous trip through the English channel and a rough voyage across the Atlantic. { Not Always Dangerous. !

Wolves Destroy Young Deer. From different sections of the dis- trict around Kenora come reports of the presence of wolves in great num- bers, and of the destruction they are making of the young deer. Recently while Mr. G. Alcock was going to his farm near Sturgeon Lake he encoun- tered two wolves, which came to- wards him in their usual threatening attitude. Mr. Alcock had taken a rifle with him, and, taking aim, suc- ceaded In wounding them. He statds | ; that wolves have killed off all the rabbits and have destroyed many deer, At a meeting of the Board of Trade in Kenora recently a resolu- tion was again passed, requesting the Government to place a bounty on brush wolves, in order that their de- struction may be encouraged.
