It is understood that the mem- bers of the Montreal Harbor Commis- sion, who were in Kingston on Sat- urday for a short time, on their way !5¢ westward, have undertaken to handle all grain passing by water through Canada and have taken over the gov- ernment elevators at Port Colborne. They will also handle all the grain ". In Ontario, which fidds its way to the various ports along the fromt. The purpose is to so handle the grain that the Montreal elevators will not be glutted, the cereal being held at various points along the route and then sent forward as re- Daily British Whig * ¥ ALLEN TO-DAY BEBE DANIELS in A Game Chicken er ------ |THE SECOND ADVENT Is PREDICTED IN 1949 'The Elect Will Then Take on | ~ Immortalitly, Says A.

A curious feature of the coming of the Kingdom will be the process of growing young again, Mr. MacMillan gays.

'While the members of the commis- sion spent only ten minutes in the eity, they were eager to ascertain what were the harbor facilities here. They were amazed to find that the very question of terminal elevators had been thoroughly considered and plans prepared and approved by gov- ernment engineers for storage capa- eity of 5,000,000 bushels or more grain. They were greatly impressed br the work of J. M.

The vote was not reached until eleven o'clock, after a day which had been marked by an extraordin- ary public tribute to the murdered field marshal, whose remains were laid at rest in St. Paul's cathedral, and by debates in both houses of parliament which will stand out in the annals of Great Britain as a conspicuous instance of wise and pa- tient statesmanship.
