Neither of these departments has a depreciation fund' That may seen strange, but once upon a time the waterworks had a good-sized 'rest fund. Then along came the city council and seized the fund in two successive years, in order to keep'down the civic tax rate. Thereafter, there was no disposition on the part of the water committee to build up a rest fund and have it {ruthlessly seized. This idea perhaps | was transferred to the utilities com- | mission when it took over the water | department with the other two utili- | ties. When it was realized that the | city counci] could take possession of d | fauie surpluses, the commission no | Vileged to watch the eyes of childre. | doubt had not the heart to lay up i | treasures and see the rest fund pil- | pected kindness: fered. A rest fund in the gas de- the | partment would have been very wel. | Iv come during the past two years, when | 1 tank troubles. | As the result of having to charge up the cost of lining the old gas tank (nearly $15,000) to revenue last | year, the gas department shows a de- { ficit of $4,265.26 when there should | have been a fair surplus. ed that the gas and water depart- ments do not require a depreciation | fund so long as they are kept in the | | best of repair. They have come | through to the present time without such a fund, and are entering upon | 8 very profitable period.

In Great Britain, ideas re- |-garding food Supply have been put | forward, 'The first, resting its belief fon wat experience, insists that the | mother country must grow wheat suf- f Seiont for its own needs, so as to be independent | campaigns. of future submarine The other, which had | stronger Support, has consistently | urged the discontinuance of govern- | ment aid for forced British agricul- {ture in favor of some form bt sub. | sidy for empire food growing. By the abolition of controlled Prices and of guarantees to the Brit- ish farmer, the government has prac- tically adopted the latter plan. It has done, not sq much by positive as by negative action, what it could to make the British market easy of access for Canadian wheat. In view of the action of the United States against the importation of Canadian farm products, it may be that the British government will go even further, and will take some positive step to ensure an Empire food sup- ply. With preferential tariffs in force throughout the Empire, such a course is greatly simplified, and the ideal of having the Empire entirely self-sup- porting in all the requirements of lite may soon become an accomplished fact. J This problem, along with many others which directly concern Can- ada, will probably be under discus- sion at the Imperial Conference of Premiers which is being held this month, and the action of the British government may be but the beginning of a new policy which will be of im- mense benefit to Canada, and which will give a decided impetus to the de- In any case, it opens up to the farm- ers of this country a new market to and comes as a silver lining to a cloud which threate: ed to be very dark. ---- "LIGHTEN THEIR DARKNESS," | b King- ! the commission was up to the ears in | - It je argu- | The gas plant, too, is on its | and with lower oil and | velopment of Canada's wheat lands. | replace that lost inf the United States An appeal is being made this week by the Canadian Inftitute for oy Blind on behalf of those "who dwell in darkness," The British Whig was { asked by the institute. whose head | offices are located at 36 King street east, Toronto, to lend its co-operation in this worthy cause and it gladly ac- | task. This city is expected | | cepted the to raise about $2,500 as its quota. If YOU were blind, and unable to read--imagine the prospect! What a | future to contemplate! Yet its awful- ness can cation for the blind. This education, embossed type, costs many thousands | of dollars a year. In order that the work so well begun may be carried brought to those who dwell in eternal | darkness, additional funds must be secured, Many appeals have been | addressed to the generosity of our | citizens durlng the past few years, | but none more worthy of support | than this. You are asked to give, and give liberally, that your fellow Can- adians, who labor under one of life's Breatest handicaps, may be granted Some small measure of religf.

They are destined to walk in darkness the rest of their lives; for | them, many of the beauties of this ! world are hidden forevermore.

Should not we, who enjoy all our | faculties, lend a helping hand to those who bear | splendid patience ?---this terrible af- | fiction ? | Citizens of Kingston, an appeal is { being made to you this week to help | in the education of the blind of this | province. The same appeal is being | | made in a number of other cities of | Ontan io. This city has nobly respond- {ed in the past whenever the cause was a deserving one.

The Montreal Methodist confer- gnce, in the appointment of its min- isters, is not accustomed to making any splashes, such as has been enter- ed into by western conferences, For instance there are four or five min- isters who were regularly and offic- ially invited to remain for a fifth term in their charges, and the con- ference, as a matter of course, made the appointments without discussion. In the other conferences the papers Lave been filled with the contentions «©f ministers for and against the fifth year. The Montreal confertnce) in its wisdom, did turn down an invita- tion for a sixth year, but there was no parade made by the delegates over the episode. ---- mi Made a Mess of It.
