That is the best Grand Jury idea the Lampman has read in many a year. y The Grdnd Jury's other idea is al- SO a good one, but the Lampman would like to know where the In- fant's Home Board is going to get the money to buy new wash tubs. At a Frontenac County wedding, a minister sang "It's Just Like Haven To Me". The Lampman submits that the groom should have been al It's a pretty safe bet, says the Lamipman, that the next minister of the Beoteh church up on Princess Street will have a Scotch pedigree, even though he may be a Canadian. Following in the footsteps of the Russian Czar and of King George the Lampman notes that the Kine o8ton Curling Club has decided to cut out the "hard stuff". Time was when a curling club couldn't exist without a jug of Sgotch, "The Last Rose of Summer" doesn't apply to "Archie" Strachan's Custom House garden, where the Lampman sees the Killarney roses merrily blooming in October despite frosty mornings: "Dan". Couper has them all going when it comes to a showdown. The anti-tarvia men wouldn't come up "with the coin when they were given a chance to cover Daniel's wager. Next time the "Antis" wish to Spring anything against tarvia, they had better have a few housewives, whose carpets hate been soiled, to appear at the right moment. The evening anthem announce ment of a Kingston church last weak was "Make a Joyful:Noise." It might be all right to do %hat in a church, but just let some happy individual do it on the sffeet at night and see what the cops will do to him. Some people take the view that fourteen town councilmen are just fourteen too many. They think the mayor and officials could govern Kingston well enough. But - then that would be the German way. We must have town councilmen, the Lampman says, even if only to at tend the mayor's banqugt. A Cocke's congregation is having a hard time of it. The "Cookies" for Sundays past have been acting in the capacity of judges, hearing candi- dates for their pulpit. So fat # would appear that none of the appli- cants have struck the 75-per cent mark. © Some of the members of Cooke's say they. would prefer tc umpire a baseball game rather than £it in judgment on a. preacher.

Weakness Generally Comes on as Womanhood Approaches Gikls upon the threshold of wo- manhood often drift into decline in spite of all care and attention.

I suffered greatly from bloodlessness, or anaemia. My work was a drag {fo me, I had no ap- petite and never felt rested in - the moraings.

Ses. .pRussian- wheat: because it is nearer | west were deliberately encouraged to \- | Ottawa, Ocf. 15.--There are a| hundred million bushels of wheat for export in the Canadian .North- west, which according to the law and restrictions of this fair Canada of ours, may be sold to anybody but the people who are most willing to buy it. . A When Premier Borden came back from England a month ago he an- nounced that ships wguld be provid- ed to transport this. great crop ac- ross the ocean and get Liverpool prices; or something just as good. He also announced that the Canadian farmer was at liberty to dispose of his wheat to any neutral country he could lay hands on or words to that effect. Both these announcements turned out to be hollow blessings, because ships to carry the crop across the Ocean were not available, having | been chartered or expropriated, most "of them, by the Allies for other pur- poses; and also because no neutral Country wanted to buy. Canadian wheat except the country nearest us, namely the United States, with which it is the policy of the Conservative Government to have neither truck nor trade on a mutual preferential basis. . Other' proposals looking to the purchase of the crop en bloc by the British Government likewise fell through, chiefly because neither the grain growers nor the British Gov- ernment. eould see any considerable advantage in sueh a transaction. Meanwhile the opening of the Dar- danelles - draws everyday nearer, which means the release of a great flood of Russian wheat and the glut- ting of the European and British markets against the Canadian pro- duct. Naturally Europe buys the and cheaper. In fact, so far as Eu- rope is concerned, if Canadian wheat doesn't get the market first, it does- n't get the market at all, because the European demand for the fine flour into which Canadian wheat is manu- factured is not insistent. They have their poorer classes over there and the poorer classes have to put up | with poorer bread. They are not, educated, as they are on this con- tinent, to a high average of taste. This point of quality is what makes Canadian, wheat salable in the United States, which is a wheat pro- ducing, wheat exporting country it- self and in mo danger of starvation if the Canadian crop is eut off. The only reason why United States mil- lers buy! our wheat is because it isa harder, etter wheat and makes up into superior grades of flour, which cai be mixed with the inferior flours from the softer American wheats to bring them up to standard. In short, the United States buys that hundred million bushels, if it does buy it, simply because the best is none too good for a nation that has developed a palate. That the Unit- ed States is keen on our best grades of northern wheat is proved by the fact that in spite of freight tolls and custom duties a lot of it keeps drib- bling over the line alt the time. Without going into an elaborafe argument about the price of wheat in Winnipeg as compared with the price of wheat in Chicago or Minnea- polis, it is safe to say that if the United States duty were removed the Canadian farmer would get ten cents a bushel more for his wheat than he does now---that is to say he would get the duty. There is no reason why the United States won't take that duty off except that Canada don't take hers off, too. It is understood that the light still holds out to burn at Washington, and that in spite of the repulse to reciprocity in 1917, the United States continues to wel- come mutual concessions which will make food cheaper. Canada could remove her tariff on American wheat with perfect impu- nity because Canada is not a wheat- importing country, The only thing that prevents is cracker-barre! poli- ties. Canadian wheat must be den- ied its' nearest and dearest market because the interests,and Squsequent- ly the Goverpment elected by the in terests, say so. It is being recall ed in the present juncture, that it was the wheat crowd, and the meat ergwd that defeated reciprocity--not the men who produce the wheat and the meat, but the men who roll it and grind it, and cure it and smoke it and freeze it and squeeze it, for monopolizer's profits. The war seems not to have alter- €d the Borden Government's inten- tion of making a few millers and | packers rich at the expenss of the masses. The farmers of the North- increase their wheat acreage this year, the prospect being held out of war prices for a bumper rap. friet. ly speaking, that was the "'patfiotism and production policy," launched by the Borden Government. The farm- ers were told that Russia was all tied up at the Dardanelles and now} was their chance to cash in And the farmers, though not lacking ex- perience of these fair promises be fore, took them at their word. Wa- ter-sodden year though it was, they produced several million bushels more wheat thag they did in 1914. Much godd it does them! The European market goes glimmering. Even if it didn't go glimmering the 'ships Sir Robert promised had faded aAwWan--80 what was the use? The farmers are told to hang cn--not to the market with a gredt deluge wheat--to dole it out and keep Marketing Our Wheat J haps, if the Northwest farmers had barns to store wheat in, but not so good when it leaves them at the ten- der mercy of the railways and eleva- tor companies. Besides, the winter price threat ens to be weak, and no man wants to hold on for a loss A Government commission has shown that on an average it costs the Northwest farm- er sixty-four cents to produce a bush- el of wheat. Some, years it costs seventy cents a bushel. Suppose Winnipeg buys at ninety cents a bushel--to-day's quotation for No. 1 hard, and all wheat, mind you, isn't No. 1 Hard--what's there in it for the farmer after freight rates and elevator charges are taken out? A small margin which tends constant- ly to disappear And if the wheat grower holds on, as he is advised to do, the risk increases' not only through deterioration in the com- modity he has to sell, but through the manipulations of the markets. It has been figured out that, after all expenses aré paid, a Northwest farmer tilling a section of twenty bushels of whoat to the acre, realizes nett perhaps $1,280 -- that is to say two dollars on an acre, small enough return considering his toil and hardship and the high cost of living for himself and his family. If the tariff barrier between him and the United States were taken down he would realize on that same crop over $2,500, which would, I faney, make the Northwest winter about twice as tolerable as it is now. With no ships to sail the seas, and no place to move the crops to, except the site old spot favored by the in- terests, the Northwest fapmer prac- tically" has ' that huntreg million bushels for exporf on his hands. If he sells it in Canada he isn't going to make much out of it, and when he doesn't sell it in the United States-- which he is not allowed té do--he loses about ten million dollars. He not only loses ten million dollars on the hundred million bushels for ex- port, but perhaps another five million dollars on the remaining ndred million bushels for home us€, con- sidering the fact that if the tariff barriers were knocked down the in- ternational price would tend to even up on a higher line: . From which it follows that the Northwest farmer is being done out of fifteen million dollars by a gov- ernment which is too scared of its friends to give him a square deal. Thegenly argument which stands be- tween the farmer and the fifteen mil- lions is a sentimental one--if Can- adian wheat went to the United States without let or hindrance it would get in the habit of going there and would presently "lose its iden- tity." One might suggest here an- other sentimental argument--that when it loses its identity, blending its proud No. 1 Hardness with softer, baser, elements, It does it with a noble end in view, to uplift and glori- fy the mass with which it mingles. One argument is about as silly as the other. Canadian wheat can afford to lose a lot of identity So long as it finds a good price per bushel. Can- adian fish frequently swim over the boundary line and loee their identity as Canadian fish, but no complaint is made. It is much the same with Canadian wheat--i{dentity or not, it will slip across, H. F. G. THINK ITALY MUST AID. Italians Feel Nation Can't Avoid Bal- kan Issue.
