Exports of bacon from Canada to Great Britain Increased almost 3,- 000,000 pounds during the first nine months 1:ef the current calendar year. Per this period, during 1922, there were 7%988,000 pounds of Canadian bacon shipped to the British market, while this yese the corresponding figure rose to 73,- 934,000 pounds. The v.alue of the asbestos exports teseCanada for the 12 months ended August, 1923, according to the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, exceed- ed the value of those of the previ- ous year by nearly $3,000,000.

The race is for teams of huskies driven by Indians, trap- pers, traders, mail carriers and oth- ers. At present -ten, entries have been received and others are ex- pected frotn the north shore of the St. Lawrence and from the Abitibi mining district: As navigation Will soon close, it will be necessary for entries from the latter district to - mush 400 miles to reach Quebec. About five American teams will probably take part, their object be- ing to regain the geld cup for the United States. What might have resulted in a very serious train wreck Was avoided in the nick of time on the Canadian Pacific Railway Parry Sound sub- division, by section foreman Con- zani, who while patrolling the track near Brignall recently discovered two large iron nuts on top of the rails, securely fastened with hay wire. The foreman had just time to unfasten the wire and remove the nuts to clear the track for a train was due in five minutes. Two boys in the vicinity admitted, after questioning, that they wired the nuts to the rails. They were seta- tenced to the local shelter for one month and their fathers were re- quired to give bond and report ,.to , the authorities for two years. Evidence given by farmers be- fore the U.S. Tariff Commission showed that under American rail- way rates a bushel of wheat could be hauled only 35 miles for one cent, while under Canadian rates tte same amount of money would move the same amount of grain 66 miles. American farmers claim (let this is a saving in favor of the Canadian producer of 44 per -eent, or about 8 cents a bushel.. The rea- son given for the difference is that in the United States grain rates are based on cost of moving it to -day, while in Canada they are based en 1897 costs, when the Crow's Nest Pass agreement was made between the Government and the Canadian Paci Have you renewed Your •subsaription? erfrtaaiMolar 1 Sl. itarestrteesexeauseirr6eaSersi.

Municipals Councils and other public bodies might well follow the action of the Middlesex Count' Council.

"And whereas the department of public highways of Ontario has can- celled the appointment of persons so authorized to issue automobile li censes in the city. "Now, therefore, it is hereby re- solved by the County Council of the County of Middlesex that in, the opin7 ion of this council, the appointmeat o1 issuers of automobile -licensee in the smaller towns and local centres, as has been done for some years past has been a great convenience to the public, and has been a great, saving of time and expense to the owners automobiles in the province of Ontar- io; and that the concentration of the issuing of such automobile licenses in the cities and larger centres is not in the interest of the public; and that the departmeut of public highways Pc requested to centinue their fornaer policy of issuing automobile licenses in the smaller ceutres, and that a copy of this resolution he sent to the department of public highways for Ontario."
