It says that the grain buyers of Toronto and Montreal are combining to buy all grain from the warehouses on condi- tion that it h'olds the weight at the point of loading. This would make the shippers responsible' for sly shrinkage through leakage or other causes, and would in the end mean that, having to take more risk, they would have to make cslculation for • larger profit when buying, and the farmer would suffer in the end. It would be a very nice sr.ap exporter, who, having the grain 'told before he buys it, • and taking no chancey' of any loss,, veculd only have ter rake off their commission on all sales.

Help With A Dollar The mortgages indebtedness.on the Hospital for sick children, Toronto, entails an interest expense of $2250 each year, a he/ivy drain on the resoursee of this great chariCy. . It will be remembered that in it recent issue of this paper the wonderful work of the hospital was described, together with an appeal froui the trustees, ask- ing that the peop12 of Ontario pay off $25,000 of the mortgage this year. They had agreed to retire this portion of the mortgage. A generous response has been made, but there is still $4,000 needed to complete the fund asked for. Over $21,000 has been paid in, some of it came from the readers of this paper. The charity is irovincial and not local. Sick children trom every nook antLeornt r of. the Province are cared for.
