NO MARKET FOR
GRAIN SCREENINGS
evenue os o aua an
Farmers Through. Lack of
Southern Deman cl.
A deepnteh from Fort William,
Ont., says: --Giving up hope of being
able to sell grain s;reenings, local
elevator? have commenced hauling Pais
by-product out into Lake Silper'ior
and dumping it.
Worth $22 a ton eighteen months
ago, it now has no value, arid those
who are not able to burn screenings
or give them away locally, :ire rbading
the lake a suitable grave.
Exported to the United States for
many years, and yielding in revenue
to Canadian farmers and grain com-
panies from half to a million dollars
annually, the Southern markee has
fallen fiat, due to decline in t1ie mar-
ket price of sheep, which were ex-
tensively fed on screenings.
Last year 51,000 tons were export-
ed, but even then shippers took loss.
TREASURE CHEST LONG BURIED
FOUND BY GERMAN SEARCHERS
A despatch from Berlin says; -_t
Germansearchers for pirate gold
have made the greatest find in his-
tory. They dug up achest contain-
ing gold, silver and jeweils worth 20,-
000,000
0;000,000 marks (normally ,about $5,-
000,000) which wale buried by the fa-
mous pirate Stoertebecker at Zem-
sted't Osteniven in the marshes south
of Cuxhaven.
The chest in which the treasure
was found measured six by three feet,
and was thought to contain brass Ob-
jects, but tests showed! that they were
of gold, and they have an art value
many times• 20;000,000 marks.
Germans since the year 1390 have
been hunting for this treasure. Ac-
cording to German law the finders are
entitled to 10 per cent., the property
owner getting the rest. The owners
have been negothia,taing with the Gov-
ernment, declaring that for patriotic
reasons they want the treasures to
remain in Germany.
It is said that the neighborhood will
yield othertreasure chests, 'because
$toeaitebecker lie known to have bur-
ied fabulous fortunes. The discovery
makes a. fact of what had become a
national fairy story and folk -song.

Workingmen's Classes,
Announcement is made of a mass
meeting of members and prospective
members of the Workers' Educational
Association in the Social Service
Building of the University of Toronto
on Tuesday evening, October 4th. The
object is to arrange for classes dur-
ing the winter season, to continue
those formerly conducted, and to in-
itiate new ones Public s eaking
trade union law, and Marxian e2on-
Report Arctic Weather orni.cs• ate proposed in addition to
economies, international finance, psy-
chology and logic, political phil-
osophy, British history, English liter-
ature and composition. •
Through these classes, for which
the provincial university suplies most
of the tutors and nearly all the funds,
workers in any - occupation have -an
opportunity to secure the advantages
of higher education. Similar classes
are conducted by the University of
Toronto in Hamilton and in Ottawa.
The Workers' Educational Association
had last year its inosit successful sea-
son in. Canada and hopes are enter-
tained that the coming season will be
even better. The arrangement is
based on the one which has been so
beneficial in Great -Britain and fur-
nishes -another example of the varied
type of work done for the community
at large by the provincial university.
by Wireless
A despatch from London says:—A
staff of British weather experts will
leave England within the next few
days to take up posts at the weather
observatory which has just been
erected on the lonely island_ of Jan
Mayen, 300 miles east of Greenland.
Each day this group will send weather
reports to the British Weather Office
at three-hour intervals by wireless.
Their service will enhance the
weather service to such an extent that
the British Weather Bureau will be
able to give intelligence to mariners
and aviators about weather conditions
extending virtually around the world.
