Affairs at Ottawa are still in a state of chaos, and it is believed that a gen- eral election is inevitable. The con- scription bill has not yet had its third reading, and trouble has broken out in the Conservative ranks over an amendment submitted by the Premier exempting divinity students from compulsory service. Several of the Premier's follo�ers have indicated their opposition to Mich a clause and threaten to vote against the third reading unless it is dropped. Another amendment introduced by the Gov- ernment prohibits, under heavy pen- alties of fine or' imprisonment or both, any speaking or `Writing against the bill once it becomes law,or any attempt to induce neglect or failure bo comply with ita provisions. --------- On TueuLy a resolution introduced in the House of Commons looking to the extension of the term of Parlia- ment, for a further period was op- posed by the Liberals and was defeated by a majority of only twenty. The Liberal position was that extension should be granted only after the Gov- ernment had shown ire determination to organize the wealth of the country for war -winning purposes. Although the resolution was not defeated, it ie fully expected that it will. tow dropped and that an election will ensue. THE PEOPLE DEMAND ACTION. Great intermit tae been aroused throughout the country by the report of Mr. W. F. O'Connor. who was ap- pointed by the Dominion. Government to report on the high cont of living. This report, which it merely prelimin• ary to a fuller statement of Mr. O'Con- nors endings, deals with the business of the cold..torage companies and bears out what the people have been 'inspecting all along, namely, that these ccwipanieu have been making inordinate profits, especially Riney the war commenced. Without going into flguree, which have not been finally verified, we may quote a paragraph from the report. Mr. O'Connor says ; "in my judgment, an unjustifiable profit is being derived from bacon, the sales of which by cold -storage com- panies have increased more than twelvefold since 1913. This tremend- ous increase of turnover ought to have resulted. notwithstanding increased costs of doing business, in a reduction of gross profit instead of en increase, and i venture to predict that the ex- pert examination of the book,, of the companies whose name. I shall supply for the purpxome will ao establish." in eggs also, Mr. O'Connor finds that inordinately large profits have leen trade by the cold -storage companies. The business is in the hands of a tee- nage ew Targe companies,, and although Mr. O'Connor finds no evidence of a com- bination among them it is very widely believed that in some way these hig concerns constitute practically a c bine to keep the business in their own hands. The whole question raised by the re- port must, of course, receive the at- tention of Parliament. The William Davies () o. of Toronto, which hat (leen brought into the limelight in an em- porial manner, has issued • denial of the accuracy and fairness of Mr. O'Connor's statements tto far es its bualnea. is concerned ; but, denial or no denial, the public belle..e that it baa been the victim of wartime ex- tortion and wants something done to curb the "prollteera." One suggestion which receives strong support (a that, the cold -storage business be taken over and conducted by the (loierte meant for the duration of the war. EDI T0li$Al. NOTEIt.

The people are just beginning to find out the truth about the operations of middlemen in Canada. The Torunto Telegram ie becoming inpatient at Ottawas delays in gett l ug the eowpubion bill at work and asks what the -House of Commons thinks this country's soldiers are fighting in —a thousand years' war ?" King George has changed the name of his royal line, and now, instead of the House of Saze-(koburg and Gotha, it will be the House of Windsor. We don't stye that the change makes much difference ; but British royalty is get- ting away as far as possible from its German connections. It is just as well not to believe all the stories from Quebec. The other day it war reported that the Hon. P.E. Blondin had been the object of a hostile d tration by anti -con- scriptionists on the ferryboat at Three Rivers. Mr. Blondin hags since denied it, stating that the only disturbance on the boat was the crying of two babies. Another argument for the referen- dum on conscription is that the eu,l. diets overseas would be ahle to vote intelligently on the question. If a general election is held—and this seams to he the alternative to the ref. erenduru-they could not so readily or effectively express their coavi&tions and their wishes. There will be all kinds of candidates'; Conscription Conservatives, anti -conscription Con- servatives, conscription Liberals, anti - conscription Liberals, independents, Labor candidates, candidates of the United Farmers, with all sorts of gradations of opinion on the ques- tion of conscription. How are the soldiers to receive reliable intotma- tiun as to the merits of the men and the policies submitted to them for their support ? A writer nn the food situation says "it is very clear that something more rigid than kindly exhortation will have to he applied to Canada and the United States if these two countries are going to do what is expected of them in the way of supplying food to the allied nations in Great Britain and E urope." This ix probably true. and there is not likely to be any serious objection to the enforcement of food regulations; but drat of aft the people should he informed as to what is de- sired of them in the way of regulating their appetites or preventing waste. A letter issued by Ford (kontroller Hanna and published in the city dailies' does not impress the people with a sense of urgency ; a large pro- portion of the people do not even see it. What is wanted is a campaign that will reach every home in the 1) ,- tuition. WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Strong Feeling over Fooe Report. Torun o Star. The O'Connor food report has had the effect of forcing a public discus- sion on a question which was form- erly discussed in the Mime and on tee alt tel. Probably the nom engaged in the storage butanes' did not realize the strength and bitterness of the feeling. The Fest course now is to have the subject thotougbly ventilated. rut the Wealth. Kingston Whig. Bonar Law, the leader of the Im- perial Government in the Commons, bas resumed his discussion of the taxa- tion of excess profits. From an in- vestment of £9,110 he lays he re- ceived in two auceea.ive years divi- dends of over $3,1100 each and he would have been satisfied with L4410mach year. Here is a sample of what the war is doing for some men. In Can- ada the proportion of excessive wealth must ie quite as great, and the Fi- nance Minister has the power, in the war measures, to satisfy himself of what it is. The enforeente0t of con- scription, so tar as man power is con- cerned, without the conscription of more of the excessive profits, will never do. It will foment most serious' trouble.

The following article from i recent number of The Canadian Municipal Journal wakes a suggestion that we in Goderich might act upon : Moet municipalities are keen on ad- vertising their advantages to the out - eider, or at feast to show their beet side, but it bas been left to a little eity in Ontario to introduce the best method of all to make itself known to the world. Tulips; wbo can resist them ? For three day* last month the city of St. Thomas held bigh court. It was tulip festival, and visitors came from all parte to admire the public and private beds of this beautiful bulb, surrounded, se it were, with the varegated hues of every known flower. Thie transforming of the very ordin- atry tato the very beautiful is due to the local horticultural society, which is fortunate in having to its president (Dr. Frank Bennett) • man with a virion, and sufficient vttslity to put that vision into practice. And the citizens, headed by the city coun- cil, base backed the society in com- peting with each other in the beauti- fying of their gardens. The result is that St. Thomas during the summer months is one huge Hower garden, studded with neat dwellings. Now surely in this beautifying of their city the people of St. Thomas are advertising their wares in the best possible way. They are doing more. 1'bey are propagating the love of the beautiful, and ail that it means, in the minds of their neighbors and their children. They ate even spreading the gospel of flowers to surround- ing municipalities and it in to be hoped chat the day will soon come when every city and town throughout the Dominion will have Its annual flower festival. It is strsnge, but true, that Canada, outside one or two communities, is sadly lacking in beauty in its public thoroughfares and private gardens. There stems to be a general impression abroad that trees and flowers in a public place or street are out of place ; that, however wide the thoroughfare, it must be com- pletely covered with cement oresphalt or tar, with ugly wooden telephone or telegraph poles on either side to divide the heavy and hard road from the harder pavement. Nothing to soften the view. If a little of the St. Thomas or Hamilton spirit could but penetrate this prosaic utilitarian atmosphere the citizens of many a Canadian muni- cipality would benefit. We helieve that it municipal and road engineers were compelled to take a course in landscape gardening their work, with- out losing in strength or durability, would be more artistic and more in keeping with the wishes of the citizenly.

Odteria A TRIP TO THE HILLS. Written fur The Sigusl by ltes. Dr. MacOUllvray. Shingbal. We have made a discovery I For .bort recuperative trip in springtiw we can cordially reooymead s trip i the London Mission houseboat fro Shanghai to the group of bills ou th west which is the nearest ewiueuce o tbis vast plain. The children as we as ourselves bad been feeling tb stralu of work, and the London Mi. .lou, to which my wife formerly be longed, gave us the boat use on their missionary tours so this we might travel in comparative ono tot t. Early its the morning our coo and the captain of the boat had con veyed qur baggage to the boat and then proceeded by • roundabout w s to Sioc•wet, where we joined them later in the day. We touud the can water very low owing to the pro longed drought. In fact, at on paint we had to wait for the tide to lift us over the shallow places. Oe easionally the sail was used, but corn monly the sweep or the tow -rope. We found the fermiers next to the cans everywhere busily engaged in irrigat- ing their parched tlelds. How lucky they are to be near a water supply I Usually they employed water buffa- loes or oxen to turn a large wheel which by a cogged arrangement kept going an endless bucket, reminding us of the treatment meted out to Sam- son by his enemies. Occasionally the animals were relieved by men and women who ran round like sailors heaving an anchor in the old-fash- ioned way by a capstan. In Honen irr,gatio0 is by welly and no means ie used to raise the water but the simple windlass and bucket, • more laborious method than the one used here. Dur- ing the dry weather the creaking of the windlass could be heard night and day and was a pathetic sound. Even here in this very favored section of China, from the deck of our boat we witnessed every day the grim struggle for existence. The rice which is planted here everywhere needs much more water than wheat and other grains, and Bence the great importance of .water to the farmers. In this part the only roads are canals, and one was .truck with the double use of these roads, one for communi- cation and another for irrigation. Foreign roads have their excellences, but they do not compare with these canals for usefulness to the farmers. The Chinese have been farmers for forty centuries and they appear to have discovered many secrets. Ex- perts from the West when visiting China usually think that we in the West have little to teach them in agriculture. During this trip we had many unpleasant evidences that the farmers knew now to restore excreta to the soil. Passing boats loudly testi- fied as to the nature of their cargo. As soon as we came in sight of the hills we saw from afar the Roman Catholic church and observatory which are built on the top of one of them. Having reached the foot of the Mile we went from point to point, slopping for the night at different places, and during the day tying up under the shade of a tree we went ashore and rambled over the hills. 1 f These are at the higbest only a few I W.

According to 0 ' I1hinere superstition a grave on a high 11 hill is particularly lucky, They think e ;nut only will the dead rest its peace - but the living descendants will also - I derive benefit.. One of the officials y' buried there was once high ou the t I Board of Revenue in Peking. On Sundry we vialted the Roman k Catholic hill and found tbat many pil- igrims bad come to worship, rbey were busily going from church to y church and performing their Mow- - I Hone at the fourteen stations of the al cro.c which were arranged in a zigzag - form up the side of the hill. One wa. e greatly iwperered with the promin- ence given IJ rho death and sufferiugs - of our Lot d. - On our.econf stop we went ashore and walked along the hills. A month 1 earlier they would have been covered with azaleas, uow we saw wait' buttercups, Queen Anne', lace, and wild roses galore. The surprise was Canadian Gaieties. The Cbtue.e farm- er is death to all such things, but these hills are entirely uncultivated and therefore it was possible to see a few thieties and among them even a i Scotch thistle. The foreign t.•aveller , would immediately saywhat • line bird sanctuary is founhare, but the fact is that the Chioeee do not de- ! troy birds and every village has • number of trees for nesting,. But there was one note wbich refounded frequently from the trees. It is a bird heard also in other days in the Province of Honan and its note stirred many memories. 11 utters four sounds in rapid succession, and the imagination of the Chinese inter- prets these notes to be "Lazy fellow, shoulder your hoe." The farmers cer- tawly need no exhortation in this direction, as the hoe is not loon oat of their bands. When vie go to Mokan- shat) the bamboos are ail full grown, but this time we saw the actual pro case of growth and we could clearly perceive that the bamboo was • grass, not a tree. Ita long spear is enclosed in a sheath which conceal, the work of nature until each joint le full- grown, after which the sheath ie cart uff. Country people came selling eggs, chickens, etc., and a sturdy Chinese women took the children for short trip, in her small boat. This was a diversion very much appreciated by all, and the camera also eucceesfuliy recorded verities interesting scenes to be duly pasted in lsdith's book as • commemoration of this delightful trip. Mcbool books bad been brought along. but, with the connivance of parents, they were not much in evi- dence. However, Shakespeare and the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table prescribed by the teachers to he read as literature did employ a few hours. Copies of Happy Childhood were given m many delighted youngsters, At the end of the fifth day we returned to Shanghai, pasting along the water- rjnt of the city and watcbing the city lights.
