The kaiser has called the Crown Prince home. A clear sign that hig nibs sees the game going against him. Just now many citizens look with jealous eyes upon the succulent corn and cabbages ripening in their neighbors' gardens. Look out for raids. The summer is almost past. But we are anticipating a long and splendid autumn. The Kingston In- dustiial Exhibition will be in the niidst of the delightful weather. The story, published on Mondav, sbout the beavers at work in Parks' Lake, in Lanark county; is decided- ly, interesting. Beavers make fin: eating. The government should cultivate them. Canada is doing her share in ship- building. Contracts have been plac- ed in the Dominion for 105 vesseis with a total tonnage of over 400, 000: Most of these will be launch- ed during 1918. The lists of Canadian casualties are being announced and the losses are very great.

Thanks, friend! WOMEN ON THE FARMS. Various reports of the perforin- ances and condition of the women's army of farm laborers show a gene- ral result even more gratifying than surprising. The farmers' skepti- cism at the idea of important help by women from the towns and cit- jes was natural enough, perhaps, but, like all superficial judgments, the doubts of their abdlity to do any good go down like dead leaves in a gale of wind. . here are thousands of "farmer- ettes" in Ontario alone, and from every side are coming reports of Lie splendid suceess they are making of the work. Some are working sepa- rateiy on their own farms, or have organized emergency squads in dis- tricts where crops needed eultiva- tion or gathering and no man couid ers are working under the direction of other local agencies. Women are 'haying, hoeing, shocking wheat. and other grain, ploughing, planting, weeding, pick- ing and canning fruit, feeding stock, |. driving horses, milking cows, and running tractors and binders.

THE MOVIE AGAIN, Protest is now and again voiced with regard to objectionable motion pictures shown In (ilieatres. A western Ontario newspaper raises objection particularly to a class of so-called serials, such as "The Pols oned Claw" and "The House of Hate," which abound in murder and other crime, and declares that the Canadian censor must either wake up or be kicked off the job. The Toronty Star points out that a movie house should require a municipal license, and it should be granted subject to cancellation unless the films: are satisfactory. But what Is the use.of that? On every film ap- pears the encouraging Statement that it has been passed by the On- tario Board of Censors, "The House of Hate" along with the good films. If the provincial censor passes such lurid stuff, is there any hope that the municipal censor will not do the same? Some movie houses will nol permit objectionable pictures to be shown on their screens, while others cater to a morbid crowd which de- mands the highly sensational type of motion picture drama. Perhaps the best way te force a movie house to present highly proper motion pictures is to refuse to patronize it while bbjectionable serials are be- ing shown. So long as people crowd the places lurid pictures are to be seen, so long will such pictures continue to be exhibited.
