Montreal, Oct. 14.--Judging from the sale of tickets there will be a large crowd present at the Percival Molson memorial stadium this after noon when Queen's and McGill meet for the first intercoMegiate rugby game to be played locally this sea- {son. Owing to persistent rumors concerning the strength of Queen's, there is no little doubt throughout rugby circles in this city as to the outcome.

Hear the truth: The early church prayed in"the Upper Room, but the twentieth century church cooks in the supper room .Today the suppsr room has taken the place of the Up- per Room. Play has taken the place of prayer, and feasting the place of fasting. There are more full stom- achs in the church than there are bended knees and broken hearts. There is more fire in the kitchen range than there is in the church pulpit.

The government "'considered the granting of such a moratorium quite inadmis- hible," it was stated.

While Prince Edward, in common with other couuties, has been hard hit by poor crops last year and low prices In the present year, no one with a knowledge of the history of the past can entertain any fear as to the future. A county that can bear up under the collapse of the lake fisheries, on which it chiefly depend- ed a couple of generations ago; that was not more than checked in Its onward progress by the midge 'that destroyed its spring wheat crops at a later period, by the weevil that temporarily ruined its pea industry, or the McKinley tariff, that made a mere memory of "Bay of Quinte baz- ley," is not going to lie down under two adverse seasons. The men and women of ploneer stock have not lost the virtues of an ancestry equal to the best of which Ontario boasts, and the old community is being strengthened by the inflow of a vir- ile"sfock from the north, where the Notwithstanding the diversity In production, and volume of output, neither factory owners nor farmers are feeling in a particularly happy frame of mind at the present time. This is because prices are low alika for the finished product of the farm and the finished output of the fac- tory. Some there are who, excep- tionally favored or unsually capable, have done exceedingly well. As one case of this kind mention might be made of Norman McDonald who realized $500' from the product of three acres of tomatoes, and of Herman McKibbon who had between 1,000 and 1,200 bushels - from two acres. In another case $180 was realised, over and above cost of) seed, from two acres in green peas, \ Low Prices for Truck Crops. These, however, were quite ex- ceptional cases.
