Following the example of Britain and the United States, Canada has set aside Sunday, June 30th, as a day of national prayer and interces- sion on behalf of the Allied cause. All classes and creeds of our people are urged to observe the govern. ment's request to, on that day, im- plore that divine favor may rest upon our efforts to free the world from tyranny and terrorism.

Out of the observations and ex- periences of a crowded and heart- sickening week (battle of Solferino, June 24th, 1859), out of the scenes of bitter piteous, unavailing distress a thought gradually crystallized in the mind of Dunant which was to be the germ of a great work of bénefi- cence. He saw that the medical ser- vice of no army could ever be ade- quate to the demands of a great bat- tle; he also saw that no sufficient ser- vice of relief could be improvised on the spot at the moment of emergency itself. As there were no signs that wars were soon to cease among men, it was wise to draw the obvious les- sons of experience and prepare meth- odically, in times of peace, to meet the problems that wars inevitably bring. A BRIGHT CROP OUTLOOK. The monthly commercial letter issued by the Canadian Bank of Commerce posseses an optimistic tone, Up to the present time, it avers, nothigg has occurred to mar the splendid crop outlook of a month ago. In the west warmer we: followed a cold spell late in May, and the seeding of coarse grains was almost completed by the first of June. The outlook for fall wheat in Ontario is very poor, but was never more promising for other grain.

It was served at the regular hour of the repast, and consisted of Boston baked beans potato salad and war buns and war bread made from standard flour. Many appreciative comments were heard, and the ladies are gratified that they were able to accede to the regu- lations of the Canada Food Beard. The candy table and home-made table were also eliminated this year, but some very pretty fancy work was dis- played. The social was a great cess in every way, and hundreds enjoyed the afternoon and evening, inculding a number of the children from St Mary's on the Lake orphanage. who re provided with free car tickets igh the courtesy Hugh C The amount taken in has yet heen estimated, but it 1s ht that several hundred dollars will be realized to devote to the needs of the orphanage TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND DAMAGE #OLLOWED TO A PILLAR AND THE CAR.

Vessels Had to Remain in Port--Hot Weather May Follow. first heavy wind storm of the summer started early on Friday morning, and it was not long before the accumulations of dirt and dust on the streets were lifted sky high. On Thursday night there was not a rip- ple on the water. so serene and calm was it. but on Friday morning the contrast was remarkable Waves as high as any that are seen in the fall months dashed against the shore, and a number of vessels were compelled to remain in port on account of the fury of the lake.

At the whole the indications are that the cereal products of the country will be larger than usual, A larger acreage 1s under cultivation and the farmers, particularly in the west, are much better supplied with imple- ments and other m anical equip- ment than they h ver been, There are | localities ' in which the dabor shortage will be acute, but among the farmers themselves the impression prevails that, given nor- mal weather, they will be able to har- vest the crop. Government depart- ments and public bodies are already taking steps to secure a supply of la- bor for service in the harvest fields. A DOMINION POWER BOARD. The question of an adequate sup- ply of fuel and power for all of Can- ada Is one which has been brought sharply into view as a result of the acute fuel shortages during the past two winters, Certain phases of the situation demand and are receiving immediate" action through the fuel and power controllers and the Hon- orary Advisory Council for Selentific and Industrial Research. The gen- eral problem of the fuel-power re- quirements of Canada is one that the end of the war will not"solve. It is not merely a question of looking ahead for a year or two years or for whatever time the present con- flict may last, but rather a matter of providing for all time to come, Canada, according to the Electrical News, is recognized as one of the greatest water power and coal coun- tries in the world.

Rippling Rhymes PEACE TALK It fills my soul with sorrow that men must fight and kill today, and yet tomorrow, and more tomor- row still; I'm tired of all the slaying in sprin fields over there, where once the children, maying, with laughter filled the air.
