Toronto Exhibition capped the climax on Monday, with an attendance of 212,000, an increase of 48,000 over Labor Day of last year. The increase to date is 92,004, a healthy showing toward the return of pros- perity. It is claimed that much business was booked by exhibitors at the Exhibition. : 000 Textile workers to the number of well over half a million have gone on strike in the United States. This strike will cause a loss of $7,000,000 weekly in wages. In view of the aggressive industrial policy of the Jap- anese in the matter of textiles, it is difficult to foresee the outcome of this struggle between capital and labor.

It was discovered that there is an international monopoly in submarine building, with Sir Basil Zaharoff as super- salesman.

Thousands of tons are now decorat- ing suburban gardens in the shape of paths and rock-gardens. \ Much of it has been used for roads and house foundations, while a good quarries in the Wirral, This is how the giant's conjuring trick was done. During most of the boring a ton of rock and clay was sent to the shaft entrances every two minutes. Had this been allowed to accumulate the work of the "man-hole" below the river would have been held up. But had it been taken away during the day great congestion and inconven- jence would have been caused in the main traffic routes. So it was done at night. To spare annoyance to the public, special new vehicles, altered to ensure quiet run- ning, were used at both ends of the tunnel. They carried the material away as it was brought to the surface in 500-ton hoppers, - But to avoid wakening the sleeping citizens new routes were chosen from the shafts every night. Some nights the wagons would travel 10 miles to reach their destination, only four miles away by the ordinary routes. Whatever the weather and whatever happened the contractors had to keep going, i When radiators were bursting in hard frosts and the inevitable run of ill-luck with engines occurred they did not dare slow up. About 500,000 tons of rock and clay were taken away from both the main tunnel entrances. 50,000 tons were taken by Birkenhead Corporation for roads and foundations for housing schemes. The Arrow road was al- most wholly built on tunnel rock. At Liverpool the rock was used to fill up the old Manchester Basin at the Pierhead, canal basins at Light- body street and Pall Mall, a stretch of foreshore between the North and South Dingle jetties, and large quan- tities were used for the Liverpool Corporation's Otterspool embankment scheme. The Strike at a Glance. (Associated Press Despatch.) Washington, Sept. 2nd.--Industries affected by the textile strikers are cotton textile, woollen and worsted, and silk manufacturing. Workers affected: 407,000 in cotton textile, 103,000 in wollen and worsted, and 150,000 in silk industries. Total actually employed, 660,000.. Textile workers already unemployed, approxi- mately 200,000. Mills in each industry: cotton tex- tile, 1281; woollen and worsted, 500; silk, 1000; total 2,781. . The issues: Labor's demands for a thirty-hour week with no reduction in wages; graduated wage scales based upon skill required in various opera- tions; uniform limitation of 'machine load; recognition of United Textile Workers' as collective bargaining agency for textile employees; and creation of arbitration board with power to return binding decisions. 'Industry's contention is that in- creased labor cost under NRA; a 100 per cent. jump in cost of raw material, a 4.6 cents a pound processing tax, and a slump in demand for cotton goods, make a further increase in overhead impossible, " Lloyd Garrison, Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, re- fuses to abandon hope of a settlement. Geo. A. Sloan, Chairman of the Cotton Textile Code Authority, and head of Cotton Textile Institute, as- serts that industry wil not be "threat- ened or coerced" into granting labor's demands. , : Francis J.

Among those present were Mr are among the cleanest in the pro- vince. IFew, if any, accidents have ever been reported probably due to the fact that cows are not allowed to pasture on roadsides at night. There are approximately 4500 miles of township roads in Ontario. Using Wilmot township as a basis of calcula- tion, a total of $100,000 could be col- lected in rentals, Roadsides are cleaner where pastured and the cost of weed cutting is greatly reduced. With the shortage of pasture, falling municipal revenue and as a source of veduced weed control costs, this plan appears to have many features which would warrant its trial in other muni- cipalities. -------- > - "MINISTERS EXONERATED IN McCAUGHRIN CASE INQUIRY There was neither purchase nor bar- cain in the arrangement between D.

The Township charges a rental of £2 each for the first and second cows of a herd, $2.50 for the third, fourth $3.00, fifth $3.50, gixth $4.00, seventh $1.50, eighth and above $5 each. This sliding scale of charge is arranged to assist the small farmér with from 1 to 4 or Hh cows. The average yearly revenue derived The an- nual cost of weed cutting on Wilmot Council Township roads is $550 which leaves _ a tidy annual credit balance in the Miss Hélen VanCamp has returned treasury. Roadsides in this township hibitors cut a number of sheaves in a vood part of the field and from these make a selection. A much better way is to choose individual stalks from the standing grain. This may be done by walking in from the stubble when cutting 'is in progress. Plants should be cut cloge to the ground with a pair of scissors. When two or three times the amount required for a sheaf has been collected, it should be placed on a rack or table to dry, protected from the weather, particularly rain and dew. . livery straw in an exhibition sheaf should be stripped of leaves or flags. This may be done by taking a small handful of 10 or 50 at a time. In this process any diseased or faulty specimens should be rejected. The round form desired may be achieved most easily by the use of a mould of some kind. The next step is to place binders and drawtightly after which a sharp knife should be used to even off the butt squarely. Remove all broken straw. Ribbons for decorative pur- poses may be added. Crate for transportation purposes. < 4 J 23. Vor ex 1. [A gR3S 8 J Ve Rs Ty ERAT RA a oO PAs at ra re Ft 7 Z
