The Board of Commerce expects that its order regarding hog pro- ducts will reduce the prices by from | two to eight cents a pound. cept that with a pinch of salt, having | been fooled by previous rumours of | price reductions ip. this same com- modity. .The Board of Commerce has ord- sred that prices of pork and other | hog products must be reduced to the | price levels of last March. That | leaves a big loophole for the mer- 'chants, and the consumers will per- | haps find little advantage from this | order, sin The Board of Commerce has elicit- ,d, the fact that pears which are sell- ing at one dollar a sasket in Tor- onto could not find a market at 'thirty cents a basket in Oakville, less "than an hour's run distant by train. | in this case it does not look as if! the producer was the profiteer. The present session of Parlia- ment is costing the country approxi. mately fifty dollars an hour. Some of the long-winded members of the house can now figure out how much ithe country fs paying for the privil- ege-of allowing them to make lengthy speeches on unimportant questions. A school near Madoc has come into prominence by a demonstration of its system of providing hot lunches | for the children. This is a movement which will soon be found fn every rural school in Ontario, for ft is a great step forward in educational matters. } Sr ------ i Under the present system of pay- ing gratuities to returned soldiers, | a private who is married receives al maximum of $600, while generals receive sums ranging from $2,700 to nearly $3,000. From . this it wolrld appear that the man in great- est need of assistance towards re« establishment receives the least as- sistance, "English railways, from the open- ing of the war down to the end of 1818, showed an actual net loss of about §$119000,000. For the pres- ent year it is estimated that the charge on the public for government operation will run to about $370. 000. This record, with its parallel in the United States, does not augur 'well for government ownership of railways in, Canada. EDUCATIONAL CHANGES. Under the regime of the Hon. Dr. Cody many important changes are being made in the educational policy of the province of Ouaterio. The newest change is contained in an order issued to school principals and : {ple are anxious to know 1} {and which should make it clear that Chicago | is | old maxim that makes Jack and ise to thome studies to the their hours of play eral other changes in ti ien have been made, all the purpose of making {educating the children hard welcome { cate to i at a time change e sive {education movements has to be made ir and easily assimilated. | a8 - WITH LOAN. when we a i -------- | WHAT WAS DONE LAST VICTORY At the present time, { almost on the eve of the launching {of the 1819 Victory Loan, many peo- THE re what {done with the six hundred million {dollars which was raised in the] same manner about a year ago.
