But how about general wheat "m- ports? The opinjon here is that American speculators who have in the past come to Canada for sup-. plies for the European demand, will now go to South America and other countries for grain. This would be the worst that could happen to the Canadian wheat grower. More ma- ture 'opinion is that tbe Americans will largely buy as usual, but that the price of Canadian wheat will come down to make up for the Am- erican duty. This latter opinion borne out by the generally accepted idea that the Canadian farmer Is going to have to be contented with 75 cents a bushel for his wheat this year. That is, the wheat will sell around a dollar a bushel, but after | elevation and shipping costs are paid there will be only 75 cents left to pay the cost of production, labor, seed, etc. And the question naturally arises. where will the wheat grower stand after he has sold his grain? Most of them have notes in the bank and | Very many owe mortgages, the prin-| cipal and interest of which are over- | due probably for two or three years. | Will there be money enough from | the wheat crop to straighten out the | lialilities and leave the farmer with | & clean sheet for the next wear? Those who know the situation, say | such cannot prove to be the case. | At present wheat prices, it will] take two crops such as that of x-22 | to lift the farmer out of the rut. | So that so far as the west is concern- | ed, Canadians may as well make up their minds that there are several lean years ahead, and lean years in the west do not augur well tor a resumption of normalcy among the industries of the east. Of course, conditions in the do- minion are vastly better than a year ago, numerous factories having re- opened this year after a shutdown of from one to three years. There is also a feeling of greater confidence among the farming public and the businessmer, owing to the fact that the Americans seem to have "done the worst) so far as high tariff against this country is concerns, and yet Canadians are able to live | | and do business at the old stand. employment agency without a license.

FOUR MUSKETEERS ARE ON THE ROAD 1 From Toronto to Kingston These Gallants Tramp to Get in Shape For Rugby. Alexandre Dumas has long since! Passed to the eternal beyond. It is| Joubtful whether his "Three Muek- eteers' will ever die while there are books and people to read them. But Canada, Kingston and Queen's University can boast of "Four Musketeers", all alive and in the flesh. who are at the present time on one of their exploits. A well known Kingston citizen, motoring to Toronto to keep a soc- fal engagement, was surprised to See, outside the city of Toronto about thirty-five miles, four stalwart young men headed in the direction of Kingston. As his car drew closer and flushed by the quartet'e one of the wayfarers, tall and fair of mien, with orange-colored hair showing be- low his cap, struck him as a famil- far figure and the motor was reversed and the trampers overhauled. The motorist found Canada's Four Musketeers on the road and recog- nized in them John L. "Red" Mo- Kelvey, Curley Lewis, John "Tdns- bury and McKelvey wore kharki trousers, grey sweater, peak cap and the heavy marchigg boots which characterized the four of them. Lewis was attired im Queen's sweater and riding breeches and the others were all suitably clad for a long and heavy march. + Lewis, probably by reason of his proficiency in the faculty ot fight, was entrusted with the care of the magic chart of thelr travels, which turned out to be a road gukle with the inscription: "The course adopted by the Four Musketeers on their march from To ronto to Kingston to start training for football," The "tramps" announced that they expected to make thirty mites a day on their journey and seemed in the very best of health and spirits. Unlike the traditional hikers the "Four Musketeers" do not spurn to accept other means of locomotion than their own good feet and the passing milk or Jumber wagon, the east-bound truck, the motor car with room for thote than ond, or even, the heavyweight boxing title té his credit. Lewis, who came to Queen's two years ago, is one of the must beautifully built young men in Cab- ada, and one of the finest basket ball players Queen's has eggr boast- ed. Last year he sprang from no- where to the senior rugby team at the 'position of enap-back and sud- | deni; showed the experts that this position can be made very much of- fensive as well as defensive. Jones is one of the best basket- ball forwards in the 'intercollegiate and has taken active part in many Phases of college life. He was the mainstay of last year's basketball team. John Lansbury, who was engaged at work for Queen's University earl ier in the summer, can classed as an artist, a scientist and an atalete. He is the merry-maker of the musk- oteers, the whiler-away of dul hours. Lansbury has become well- known throughout the cguntry for hig cartoons and sketel 'work and is a very popular entertainer along Gther lines, as well. "The Four Musketeers' should ar rive in Kingston during the last of this week or on Monday at the lat- est in time for the first turnout of the rugby squad. They are all mem- bers of the thind year in Medicine. All honor to them and thelr ob- Ject and good luck to them in their studies and their play in the coming session. Canadian Co-eds Are Not Keen on English Unstinted praise for American col- lege women and disappointment with English college women is ex- pressed 'by Canadian delegates who have returned from the Conference of University Women's Clubs held in Paris. The former are described as "charming, cultivated womefi-"and they do not smoke." The lattar smoke incessantly and are aggres- sively feministic and sex-conscious," according to the delegates, One delegate sald it would be un- fair to generalize about the whole body of Englishwomen from the rep. resentatives they saw at Paris. Many of those she met in England were cultured Christian women, who da- plored the modern habits which were growing up around them. "I used to think that I was a mod- ern woman," said Mrs. W. T.
