- Y < THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. # TRUKSDAY, JULY 14, 1vun, a cscs iy ¥HE BRITISH WHIG It was a dizzy old winter, with its threatened outbreak in Europe, and a hectic pld spring with [ts industrial . He-ups and commercial depression, but'this is the good old summertime. Lite is short and time is fleeting, ahd why should we be always in a hurry and a perpetual worry? : Last month we slipped into our "IBV. D.'s and this mofith we all should take a lesson from the weather and slip out of our long ac- customed mental traces and go dash~ ing headlong to the open pastures where the June grass is lush and the birds are singing as joyously as be- fore the kaiser decended upon Bel- glum, bringing in its wake such a scourge of plagiies as would have made early Egypt appear & pleasant paradise. by comparison. We've grown accustomed to look upon life darkly, We Irave had wars and rumors of wars: We have known sufficfently of evil and doubt. Our minds are weary of the turmoil and strife. We long for the quiet ways we knew before the war, And dame summer is knocking at the door and bidding us cast dull care aside for a while; is inviting us to forget-our perplexities, toss aside the problems that we have not been able to solve o|and go a summering. : And he T8 a wise man who will listen, There is"something in the season that demands relaxation. It is not by*accident that the railroads and the steamship lines run excur-! sions from June to September; it is not by chance that the lake and pleasure resorts are in full blast .

(Toronto Mail and Empire) The British government declares it is abandoning war subsidies to agriculture, which would amount to $100,000,000 or $150,000,000. But it is making a grant of £3 per acre for wheat, and £4 for oats this year, the cost of which will be between $75,000,000 and $175,000,000. This is one 'way of trying to placate the economy crowd. that came with each addition that |» - 4 tended to increase the comtortable- | i ness of their abode.

It is this transportation aspect that claims the intense interest of the cen- tral and western states, because it means the saving of millions of dol- lars annually in freight charges. The power scheme is of greater interest to the east, and the report of the en- gineers employed by the Internatinn- a] Joint Commission states that both projects are practicable. The en- tire cost is estimated at $250,000,- 000, a figure that brings the proposal within the realm of possibility. This is much below :the estimate of Hugh L. Cooper & Company, hydraulic en- gineers, of New York, who placed the cost at $1,600,000,000. There is, too, People The Prairies. (Border Cities Staw, Windsor) The Dominion government could, with advantage, begin a special study of the more rapid peopling of the prairies.
