Well informed sources tell us that during the fiscal year that
has' just closed there has been a falling off in Canadian foreign
trade of approximately $670,000,000 or of about 28 per cent. The
‘export value of wheat was $38,3313,700 less than the previous year
though the quantity shipped was 30,336,700 bushels greater.

THAT GRAIN INQUIRY
* -Some- wise people have been making inquiries regarding the
marketing of.wheat. Judges and economists have been talking
things over with wheat buyers -of one kind and another and, inci-
dently, they ha Ye been asking a few “big,” farmers what they think
of the situation. When these men have asked their questions -in .
one big centre they hustle along to another and repeat the. process.
They then stop this sort of thing, do some writing that will result
in what is called a report then the whole thing will end at 8that
point except for the* paying of the bills.
All this is bewildering to 'the plain farmer who grows
hundred -bdshels of wheat. There’s a nigger in the woodpile some
where who has a‘ way of gobbling the plain farmer’s profits. Those
-?:Wbo can locate ,thi:'s- Ethiopian should do. so before the .time o< rec
oiling comes. Some folk think that if there -were but two classes,
the producers and the consumers, that things would be a whole lot
better for the commonwealth. In the meantime we have a number
of busy people- -called the hedgers, the ifuturers and the manipulators
who have the same interest in the farmer’s welfare that a ground- •

- Mother and Anne had always been very close
one another. When Anne married and moved
another city, each missed the other greatly.
But one thing more than any other has helped
keep them close — the telephone. Every Friday
evening Anne calls her mother by Long Distance
. after 8.30 p.m. when the low night rates are
in effect. During the week they both keep memos
of topics they wish to discuss. Then there is no
time lost . . . and nothing forgotten.
What if they are 120 miles apart! The telephone
connection is made in about a minute — nearly
always while Anne holds the line. Their voices are
just aS clear as on local, and the cost, after 8.30
p.m., is only 40 cents.

STRANGE TIMES
As an indication*of the strange times; in which we are living
. we quote the words of the Madrid correspondent to the London
Times, describing the disappearance of the Spanish monarchy, an
institution 15 centuries old. This is worth thinking about: “The
breathless rapidity with which a Monarchy 15 centuries old has been
swept away with no opposition from such hitherto steadfast forces
as the Army and the Church, which, although not a fighting force,
has in the past inspired its faithful on many a previous occasion to
fly to arms for the Monarchy, is nothing sort of amazing, and leaves
observers in Madrid dumbfounded. Even tile principal personages
in the drama seefn to move as automatons, and some of their ‘ac
tions are contradictory. Admiral Aznar’s thick-set figure walking
calmly out of the Palace at 5:45 p.m. saying, ‘We are going to es
tablish rftartial law, which will be welcomed both rtby Reds and
Whites,’ gave no hint that just two hours later -Senor Alcala Zam
ora’s voice, filled with emotion would fee sounding in the ears of
liStenev-in to the maiden speech of the first President of the Spanish
Republic, from the Home Office.
“Iqearn that at 1 o’clodk1 to-day the Royal Family, now oil its way
into exile, had mafye no preparations for a hasty departure. Events
seem to have precipitated themselves between then and S o’clock.
The Queen’s friends were calling at the Palace giving her flowers
after luncheon. Then came the collapse.”
Oh, would that from my pen would draw,
The thoughts I think of thee;
That you in truth should surely know
Just what you mean to me.
The kindest person on the earth,
The one who understands;
Who cared for me, from day of birth,
With tender, loving hands.
To every tale of joy or woe
You
And
And
lent a kindly ear;
told me things I ought to know,

you are a Wonderful Mother,
this"I can truthfully say:
That never will there be another,
For Whom I’ll earnestly pray.
No matter where o’er the earth I roam,
O’er the land or on the sea,
I’ll always remember Mother and. Home,
And all that they mean to me.
