Demanded. New York, Oct. 21 --With the ad- vance in wheat to the highest price of the war, retail grocers will have' to pay $10 a barrel for flour to the jobber. and that means, that the housewife will have to pay at the rate'of at least $10.50 in small lots, say of 33% pounds each. Grocers who heard of this-simply groaned, for it merely multiplied their difficulties. The only remedy isdn a food embargo "Something will have to be er | sal id one grocer.' "We are now facing la crisis. It is all very well to say that labor is"well employed and can afford it. Wages have advanced fifteen per cent., but the cost of living las ad- vanced to one hundred per cent. There is only one or two things to do; either double wages, which ig of course impossible, or bring the cost of living down which is possible by means of an embargo. There is spec- ulation in it too. Why shquld we have to pay $7.25 a hundred pounds for sugdr? Is the sugar crop short? I am selling canned goods to-day to the public cheaper than the whole- salers can buy them. Then I will be up against competition from the chain stores. These people have money enough to buy goods for a vear ahead and even two years, for | that matter, and they are able to un- | der sell the ordimary retailer unles he is willing to cut his profit. "Think of paying $5 a barrel for | potatoes and expecting to make money! Think of forty-five cents a dozen for eggs and even thirty-eight | cents for storage eggs. I don't know what we are coming to. The only | solution is an embarg go on' foreign | sales." | The dean admitted the | CHILDREN INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE | To the Belgian "Relief Fund-- New Zealand Children Do Well: -------- --- « | Montreal, Oct. 21.--There is no- {thing more gratifying than the man- ner ine which the school children of | the .w ofTd have réspondséd to the ap~ {peal of their little brothers and sist- in Belgium---those countless hun- Idreds of "Wan little creatures, waver- ing between the cheery nature of the child and the listlessness that comes of starvation The se nic land recently % ters hildren of New Zea ent - $27,000 to the | Lord Mayor of London to be turned over to the Belgian Relief Fund for the benefit of their youthful Belgian comrades.

PRICES MUST RISE HIGHER. Peace Would Not Help Much----Short- age of Production, New York, Oct 21.--While in- crease in the -price of foodstuffs amouwnt to twenty-five per cént, is picking the pockets of New Yorkers to-day, many zrowers predicted an- other twenty-five per cent. increase, which will make many staple articles luxuries by spring. The war is blamed. The Allies are willing to pay such high prices for food that wholesalers ship abroad the grocers declare. A short crop also is playing havoc in the prices, and Canada's partici- pation in the war is having its ef- fect; for that British possession is sending all its surplus to feed the great armies, High prices paid to laborers in munition plants is taking men from the farms and farmers are forced to pay higher prices to 'harvest their arops. Even peace would not help much, dealers declare, for the shortage in production in this country, they believe, would still be the predomin- ant factor. Russian wheat would be released if peace came, bit it would not affect other commodities. yond normal. These dealers declare the only sol- ution of the problem lies in action by the Government.

INSPIRING AFFAIR IN SYDENHAM STRE oT C HURCH. ft Was Decided to Make Big Effort to! Increase Missionary Contributions | of Kingston District, | At a mass meeting of the men re- presenting the Methodist churches of the Kingston district, held in Syden- BaAT Ry Tunt Methodist church on Fri- ddy evening, it was decided to make & big effort to increase the mission- ary contributions during the ¢ year, It was decided to have what is known as "'an every Methodist can- vass™'--that is, every person in the Kingston district who is associated | with the Methodist chureh will be sionary fund of the church. | . Last year the missionary centribu- tions amounted to about $6,000, of which 3,204 was given by the niem- bers of the churches in Kingston. When the Missionary Board of the Methodist church of Canada totaled up the contributions for the past year it wis found that instead of decreas- ing, as was expected on account of the war there was an increase in the giv- ings of $15,000. The board expects that the contribytions this year will be increased by per cent., which means that if the Kingston district lines up 'to its responsibility the amount of $7,500 will have to be raised. The men and women who are interested in the work are confident that the goal will be reached. Rev. J, H. Arnup, of Toronto, asso- ciate secretary of foreign missions, and W. H. Goodwin, of Montreal, were "the speakers of the evening. Mr. Goodwin, who is one of the big Business men of Montreal, dealt wi the missionary question as he would a husingss proposition. In opening he referred to the or- ganization necessary to bring the matter to a successful end. "There should only be one organization in the church, and that should be a mis- sionary organization," was one of the statements of the spéaker." One of the reasons of the war, he said, was because 'the church was not orgamiz- ed. Touching on the work accomplish- ed by the Missionary Board of the Montreal Confepénce, he referred to the faithful walk done by the late Dr. E, B. Rychman- for many years. Dealing with the amount contributed in the Kingston district during the past year, he showed that although the contributions: were little more than in the previous year, they were not as high as in some other places in the Montreal Conference. Mr. Arnup, who is one of the out- standing young men in the Methodist ministry, and who has done good work on the Mission Board, spoke at some length of the work being accom- plished by some of the missionaries who are working on the Canadian fields and also in Japan Elmer Davis, in moving a vote of thanks to the two, speakers of the evening, the ladies and the male quartette, referred to the progress made in the Kingston district in the past year. He urged the necessity of giving more during the coming year His resolution was seconded by George Bateman, and carried. Judge H. A, Lavell acted as chair- man. The Sydenham street church male quartette, composed of Noble Armstrong, William Mack, John Har- vey and Harold Angrove, sang three enjoyable selections. The banquet, which was served from 6.39 until 7.30 o'clock, was fur- nished by the members of the We, men's Missionary Slonary Society. PASTOR COMMAND: COMMANDS WARSHIP Rev.
