'Postponed. A despatch from New York says According to reports in the financial district on Thursday, plans for a confer- ence of heads, of the world's banks of issue, as suggested by Sir Robert 1-lorne at Genoa, have been abandoned, at least, for the moment, . because of the lack of . harmony at the Genoa Conference and the proposed adjournment to The i-lague.. Keep Canada's Cash at Home. Realizing that Canada has been paying annually millions of dollars- for steel products purchased in the United Stares, and that steel plants in the interior of Canada have been dependent upon the United States for their supplies of iron ores, the Conn- ell for Scientific and Industrial Re- search gat Ottawa has been investigat- ing the native iron ore resources, and has secured reporta from its commit- tees to the effect that it is time to undertake the special treatment which the Canadian ores require to fit them for ennnnercial reduction to pig iron. It is hoped thereby to establish a. new and important home induetry. AN ONTARIO FARMER IN THE CABINET. Honorable Charles Stewart. Minister of the Interior, Minister of Immigration and Colonization, Super• infendent-General of lndinn Afiaire, and Minister of Mines in the heavy share of ad ninie•trative responsibility borne by the honorable Charles Stew- art in the new federal ministry. The functions of Mr. Stewart's depart. meets, and the p oblems with which they are concerned, are chiefly de- velopmental. On these departments, perhaps mare than an any other gov- ernmental agencies, the Canadian peo- ple are depending for the initiation of policies which will hasten business recovery and the return to substantial national growth. To his new posts Mr. Stewart brings par; on<al and public experience of singularly practical value. 130r11 at Strabane, Ontario, in 1808, he removed to the west hi 1905, homesteading near I.illam, Alberta. As a pioneer western, farmer Mr. Stewart acquired, first band, the intimate knowledge of set- tlement conditions which is .essential to a clear understanding -of immigra- i iron and colonization peoblems. Ile noted Indian statesman, who has 1 eer farrier can appreciate, the /Wit, started on a tour of the British Do - rhinions to plead for equality of status for Indian settlers. He was the Indian delegate to the Washington conference and the last Imperial conference. Plant some shade trees this appreciates, as only a successful pion - spring to make the old place look more attractive. Plant a tree for "mother," and let it al- ways be known as "mother's tree." A bit of sentiment like that will bring a light to her eyes. Better a lovely, grow- ing, graceful elm tree now, than flowers when she is gone. Associate your trees by name with members of .your family, and the trees come to seem like members of the family. A humble home, with beautiful shade trees and shrubs about it, is much more attractive than a treeless palace. culties that face the individual settler Food TiltipoRAR sA 't eN ' cies In reland the inard ones �land eug etitl meat rblic oust A despatch from Genoa says: --The ,agreement for a truce, or temporary pact or non -aggression, decided upon by the political sub -commission of the Genoa conference, subject to final rati- fication by the full conference, eon- tains six clauses, summarized as fol- lows: Clause 1.
