Weather has ways of its own. Most people accept it as it comes- and wisely do what they can to make the best of the conditions it creates. Just now wheat producers would boost the- weather man if he were to secure an increase of fifty cents per bushel on the price of the grain now'in the elevators- or the granaries. **♦***.»* RESENTS IT The- Canadian beaver resents the .imputation that his constit­ uency has made wet the domains of Uncle Sam.

When the old country folk cease treating government as a- game, the empire will soon devise ways and means of correcting our financial disabilities. In any .case Canadians, when they abandon theorizing and take to getting things done, may be counted on to look after themselves. 15 YEARS AGO He sus- Iing ]iis illness. 1 ant!
