Drastic Measures Not Only
For Restoring But For Fur-

The annual movement of grain from
, the prairies to the head a the lakes is
well under way, but the heavier pro-

ed wheat shipments yet. Total inspec-

agaihst 9,954 cars at the same date
last year. Of the total 2,072 cars came
via' Canadian National and 2,830 by
the Canadian Pacific Railway. Load-
ings were considerably -lower to date
that a.the,eame- period of 1922, and
it will be Scene tine before the peak
of the movement is reached, In Ed-
monton district, from which it has
been estima.ted there will be a total
wheat tonnage in theneighborhood of
g
half a million,bushels, the harvesting
of grain was delayed by unfa,vorablta

. larger species of fish, sueli
the halibut' cod haddock'e
but down by the sea one of:the'
niost useful fish, and the one of
which the largest catch is made,
is the sea herring. For the first
six niontlis of the present year
81,051,000 pounds of herring
was taken: Bow this enormons
quantity was disposed of is in-
teresting: 7,730,100 pounds was

Probably- the most important
use made of the herring, how-
ever, was as bait for the larger
fish we are familiar with. For
this purpose 72,428 barrels, of

Thus it will be seen that while

Rest and Change.
Rest means nothing unless it comes
after hard work; change counts for
nothing when it isernerely a 'hill from
frivolity to folly. From those whose
life is filled with boredom, in them-
selves and in one another, much is
heard of plans for dodging ennui and
defeating the terrible fate of hosting
nothing to do.
Sometimes those who are devoted
to busy men and women, whether 'as
friends or in the circle of the family,
are heard to wish devoutly that they
who work so hard had less to do. But
it will usually be found that those who
are industrious have formed a con-
genial habit of hard work, los-e what
they are doing and would be really
miserable if they were separated from
the task and made, to twiddlc their
thumbs in idleness,
What a mercy is hard work in a
time of sorrow! The work cure for
many things is just as important as a
rest Mire for other things. 'Work is an
opiate that has TIO evil after-effects.
"Give rile work to do or I shall go
crazy," says many a Man whose mind
Is raw and bleeding from a recent
bereavement.
The busy man's idea of a vacation
is not to water flowers and read the
theinnorneter. Yoa must give his
roaming, restless, achieving spirit
something to do; you must put it in
the way of new ideas to acquire. If
you expect him to travel, do not expect
him to move with his eye.s shut and
all his other souses inoperative.
Wherever he goes he will be noting a
good idea to apply when he gets home.
The real vacation is not sitting like
a Hubbard squash in a, market gai-
den; it is doing something dhlerent.
To a man who Carries an inquiring
disposition where he goes there are no
dull tines. He, sees a drama, whether
it be comedy or tragedy, in a railway
station or a trolley car or a ferryboat.
The greatest writers of fiction are the
elearest observers of fact. Life is
just as beautiful and just as interest-
ing as we are willing to let it be;
and yet there will always be those to
whom living is a dull thing, because
they are such selfish, silly people, who
do no work and cannot even amuse
themselves.
