C. Jewett, gen- | eral manager. Under the plan proposed by Jew- | ett the wheat producers would pay a tax of 7 1-2 cents on each bushel produced, creating a fund of $52. 500,000 on the present production | of LR (390:000- bush- This fund would be od by a government commission to be creat- ed to pay the agency shipping wheat abroad a premium of 30'cents for each bushel exported, thus giving the farmer a net increase over the world price of 22 1-2 cents a bushel. It is Jewett's theory that this would tend to encourage exporta- tion of wheat as against domestic | sale and ultimately would force do- mestic consumers to meet the 30 cents export premium, thus giving wheat producers of this country a net price of 22 1-2 cents over the Liverpool or world price. Under Jewett's proposal the present tariff must be increased from 30 to 60 cents a bushel. * * WIN $125,000, ° -- : * London, Ont, Dec. Labor gains--Coventry.

Forbes Godfrey, minister of health, in Toronto. While the time is not yet opportune for an official expression of opinion by { either of these gentlemen, . they | expressed hearty sympathy with the object of the Kingston Tuberculosis Association, promising to forward the movement in every possible way It was decided to issu> a Christ- | mas stamp for the purpose of adver- 'tising the Kingston Tuberculosis As- sociation throughout the province The price will be very small and it is to be hoped that every merchant {and individual citizen in Kingston { will see that all their Christmas | mail is decorated with a K.
