season, and there appears every like-

for the year will reach a prodigious
total. Of the shipments so far made,
wheat comprised 17,591,436 bushels,
15,418,030 bushels of corn, 15,856,821

shipped.

Hunter also manufactured the paper
that was uwcd. This is part of the
general exhibition in the division of
graphic arts in the institution.
"Service'' expressed the idea that
came to one's mind on studying the
University of Toronto's display at the
Canadian National Exhibition, The
information given in lnr,' a blue letters
on a white ground showed that the'
provincial university had something
to offer every seeker after higher edi
matron no matter what his eireum-i
stances. Listed there were twelve ex-
tension courses already hi operation.:
To the farmer, the imiustrial laborer,
the housewife, the journalist, the
teacher, the doctor, the municipal offr-
cial, the university offers a course that u
is of practical and cultural valine. But ".
there was one item of information, i
given in strikingly graphic fashion, 4
that made the loyal Canadian pause
end wonder whether the people eb this -
country really value edueation es they
should. Five heavy blue tines were
used to compare the revenue of On-
tario's provincial university with
those of four universities of the same
size just across the southern boundary.
And the story told by these blue lines
is that the University of Toronto is
struggling along on about half the
rovenue that each of the others re-
ceives, To do the immense work it is
doing with the relatively small am-
ount of money the provincial univer
sity has at its disposal is a real
achievement in economical financing.

ARMED LANDS IN LEAGUEMEE
Geneva, Sept. 8.—The Council of the.
League of Natione, the United States,,
mandatory powers and aountriea that
are continuing to arm came in for!
trenehnnt eritieisni in the first day's
debate in the Assembly of the League
of Nations, on the work done by the
Council of the League.
Iijahner Branting, of Sweden, ac-
cused the Council'and the secretariat
of the League of partiality and ex-
travagance. Lord Robert Cecil, repre-
senting South Africa, defended both
the Council and the .Secretariat. Lard
Robert was very severe, however,
about the countries which, according
to statistics, are spending about 20
per cent. of their energies on arma-
ments and at the same time complain-
ing of instability and a bad trade
situation.
Lord Robert's address seemingly
made a great impression on the mem-
bers of the Assembly.
That a president of the United
States cannot alone, under the consti-
tution, bind his Government on a
question of mandates is brought out
briefly in one of the paragraphs of
the last United States note on man-
dates, copies of which are circulating
among the delegates of the Assembly
of the League of Nations here. The
note is dated August 8, and is addres-
sed to the French Government.
The note makes various suggestions
of changes in the terms of the Turkish
mandates, some of them being that
consular tribunals, under capitulations
from the powers, shall remain in force
until the Governments are organized
under mandates, and that if the man-
dates 'are surrendered, the consular
tribunals shall be restored.
Request is made in the note that

charitable organization workers, not
only those in the territories at lire
ent, but those who may go there in
the future.
Electi,ineering for the eleven judges
of the International Court created by
the League t'f Natic:ns already has be-
gun and is developing cenoiderable
ardor. This is particularly true
among the South American delega-
tions, which, basing their claims on
their numerical strength in the
League, are asking for four judges.
The four principal powers—Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan—are
conceded one each by election fore-
casters, Also it is generally conceded
that one of them will come from the
United States and one from Holland.
The difficulty of placing the other five
in order to satisfy all aspirations is
becoming apparent.
League leaders aim to give an -
round satisfaction to the nations of
the world, which raises the difficulty
in their object of giving one seat to
Scandinavia, one to the Slav countries,
one to the British Dominions, and one
to German-speaking countries. This
leaves only one for South America.
John Bassett Moore, who is now in
the United States, is the moat often
named as the 'United States represen-
tative.
The method of election is now being
studied and probably will be public.
The Assembly and Council, it is under-
stood, will hold elections consecutively,
after which the lists chosen by each
body will be compared, and a new elec-
tion held for the seats not provided
for by both bodies at the first elec-
tion.
