Toronto, July 2.--Prospects for a record grain crop in the three prairie provinces are very bright, accordiag to reports received by the Canadian National Railways, and it is believed that this year's harvest will break the highest record. While the acre- ago this year is estimated at 18,260,- 000, or 17,626 over the acreage last year, it is thought this year's yield will show an increase of well over 100,000,000 bushels, the Canadian National Railways' head office here states, provided no serious setback occurs. Current reports of drought cov- ering the territory in Southern Al- herta and the southwestern corner of Saskatchewan not served by the C.N.R., are causing some apprehen- sion, according to C.N.R. reports, but this area is small tompared to the vast acreage throughout the three prairie provinces where favorable growing weather prevails. Measures taken by the Entomolog- ical Branch of the Dominion depar:- ment of agriculture has prevented any serious damage to trops by grass- hoppers, and only twenty-four places out of @ total of 324 in the west aro reported as having suffered from. fne grasshoppers. A combination of bran, sawdust, arsenic, molasses and salt or fruit is proving an effective pois- oned bait for this parasite, ------ At Poughkeepsie, N.Y., éontinued refusal by James A.

Within twenty miles of where the | first English settlement in America | was made at Jamestown is the scene where Capt. John Smith' records the story, of his rescue by Pocahontas, the daughter of the Indian chief, Powhatan. Within a girtle of twenty miles is to be found the oldest Pro- testant church in Ameriea; the kiteh- en where Martha Washington eook- ed in gbdod eolonial style; the ocol- lege which has graduated three | Presidents; Bruton Church, in which more men of khistorical importance have worshipped than in any other chureh in America--and Yorktown, where Cornwallis sarrendered to Washington. . Although Yorktown has a Ppopula- | tion of less than two hundred, it has two banks, both. of which are work- On your tour ing in what are probably the two oldest buildings used for banks in America. One of these banks, oper- ating under state and trust company | laws, is housed in the historic oldest | | custom-house built in America-- | erected in 1715. Here the ships for | Philadelphia were once compelled to enter and clear. Here at one time was the gathering place of the finan- | clers of the early colenists. Wall | Street has taken away the financiers, | but has left the same old building | with its same old walls of English | brick. | To-day the cashier welcomes the | visitor with true Virginia hospitality. | There is no rush---nobody hurries in | Yorktown. Every one has all day | to-morrow not yet touched. | Friendliness and hospitality are | more important in Yorktown and vir- | ginia than profits--except when some | outside profiteer has entered upon his field of work in Virginia. The average Virginian thinks more of the past than of the future and more of friendship than of profits. The mod- ern automobile is doing more to change the Virginian from his good old easy-gding way than anything else in America. Just across the street from the oM | custom building is another building housing the work of the First Na- tional Bank of Yorktown. The town and surrounding country are so pros- pPerous that there seems plenty of | business for two banks. The building appears more quaint and ancient than even the custom-house building erected in 1715. Both of the buildings are price. less souvenirs of a past age and time of colonial glory. To change the out- lines of either would séem like sacri- lege and disloyalty to the Colonial Fathers. It is well that they are 'used as banking institutions until such time as wealthy lovers of his- tory shall buy them and hand them over for preservation to some his- torical society. ree ----, . King George's Family Name. "What is the King of England's name?" is a question that is often asked. On this point, "The Private Lite of King Edward VII." says: "It is a popular error to suppose that the surname of the Prince of Wales is Guelph because that is the family name of the house of Brunswick, from' which the present sovereign is descended. When the Queen (Vie- tori) married, she, by the law of the land, changed her name, as do the humblest of her subjects. The Prince Consort, who came from the house of Saxony, bore the surname of Wettin, and the Queen by mar- riage with him took that name.

This surname, however, was changed by a royal decree, issued in 1917, which reads: "Our house and family shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and all de- scendants in the male line of' our grandmother, Queen Victoria, who designed for use by the Royal is especially built to carry fl armored with new rifle Firing loopholes are p ceptible peepholes the normal equipment of rifles rovided NEW ARMORED CAR TO five horse - BE USED IN IRELAND, power Lancia armored car, Irish Constabulary.

Where Trees Are Milked. In British Guiana and the West Indies, particularly on the banks of the River Demerara, there grows a tree known to the natives as the "Hyahya," which yields from its bark and pith a Juice slightly richer and thicker than cow's milk. The tree is' about forty feet in height and eighteen inches in circumference when full grown, and the natives use its juice as we do milk, it being per- fectly harmless and mixing well with water, The Cingalese have a tree they call "Kiriaghuma," which yields a fluid in all respects like milk, while in the forest of Para 8TOWSs a trec called. the "Massenodendron," whick gives a milk-like Juice.

The detachment will take no part in the strike existing between 'the St. John Street Railway Company and its em- ployes, but will be held in reserve to keep law and order in case necessity demands their interference. Commissioner A. B. Perry stated shows no tendency to become sour, On the other, hand, certain trees in the valleys of Aragua and in Canagua yield a similar fluid, which, when exposed to the air, begins to form a kind of cheese which very soon be- comes sour. In the Canary Isish there is a tree called "Tabaya Dolee of which the milk, thickened into a Jelly, 1s considered a delicacy, "Me and the Prince."
