A Steal Of $$22,000.
Only too clearly revealed by the
report of commission which inves-
tigate the contracts for the parlia-
ment buildings is the Manitoba
steal. A. steal of $822,000 is re-
ported and whether this largo sum
went into the Contractor's hands'
or private pockets the robbing of
the public treasury is equally re-
prehensible. The members of the
late Roblin Government are over-
whelmed in public obloquy, as the
report indicates they deserve to
•b3.
The thing remaining now is for
the Norris Government to go after
the thieves. Manitoba electors
showed their views very clearly at
the recent elections, possibly too
clearly insofar that they did 'not
even give the Conservatives a large
enough representation to have a
voice in any question of public im-
portance. It should now be the
effort to land every man who had
part in the ill-gotten money behind
prison bars.
JUDGE KLEIN AT WiARTON
At a public meeting to devise means
for purchasing machine guns at Wiar.
ton recently. The Echo reports as
follows: Judge Klein, who happened
to be present, gave a most practical
address. He told the audience that he
was brutally frank, but his frankness
was appreciated and he was heard
with pleasure, He stated that it was
of no purpose to belong to a church
unless we did something practical and
and it was of no use to profess our loy-
alty unless we showed it. His mother
was born in Germany, his father in
Aleace,and the first national anthem he
heard was the French. He stated cor-
rectly that we pay too much attention
to sport at this time, baseball, lacrosse,
bowling, etc, The bowling tourna•
ment in a town he could mention this
year would cost $300 and he thought it
should be withdrawn and the money
spent in purchasing a machine gun.
In 1885 he had gone to the North-West
during the rebellion. He belonged to
the 32nd. Bruce and 340 men offered to
go in one week. There was no patrio-
tic fund, no socks for the soldiers, he
closed his office and left his wife and
child, and at his own expense went
there for three monthe. Should not
mon do the same thing now? He
would not buy from any business
man, who would not give to patriotic
purposes.

BALANCE OF TRADE
IN CANADA'S FAVOR
Largo Increase in Domestic Exports
—Statement by lion. Dr. lucid.
The balance of trade as shown by
July returns still continues in Can-
ada's favor, Our people are buying
less abroad and selling more, build-
ing tit) a balance in our favor that
must have a boliolicial effect ou the
financial and industrial stability of
our country,
The total Canadian trade for the
month of July reached $100,000,000,
according to the statement issued by
the Hon. J. D, Reid, Miuister of Cus-
toms. For the corresponding mouth
of 1914 the total trade amounted to
$93,000,000.
Increase in Exports.
The feature of the statement Is the
largo increase in the domestic and
foreign exports. During the month
of July domestics exports reached
$45,600,000 and foreign goods ex-
ported from Canada $16,000,000,
compared with $41,000,000 domestic
and $8,000,000nforeign for the cor-
responding month of 1914. Eleven
million dollars worth of animals and
their produce was exported during
July, being a substantial increase
over the corresponding month last
year. Mgnufactured goods also show
a good increase; the exports being
$12,500,000 against $5,800,000 for
July, 1914.
Imports Fell off.
While the exports are booming
there is a decrease in the merchan•
dise entered for consumption, Dur-
ing July $36,000,000 worth of goods
were imported, mad,; up of $20,000,-
000 dutiable and $15,000,000 free
goods. This is a falling off for the
corresponding month of 1914, when
the imports amounted to $42,000,-
000,
42,000;000, made up of $26,000,000 dutiable
and $16,000,000 free goods.
For the four mouths of. the present
fiscal year, ending July 31st labt, tbt
total Canadian trade was $371,000,-
000, compared with $306,000,000 for
the four months of the corresponding
period last'year. Last July $13,000,-
000 worth of coin and bullion wa
exported.
ASSISTANCE PROVIDEID
FOR CROP MOVEMENT
Minister of Finance Offers to Co-
operate With Bunks.
The Minister of Finance has spe-
cial' drawn" the attention of the
Backers' Association to the provisioub
of the Finance Act of 19.14, under
which advances may be obtained in
Dominion notes upon approved col-
lateral. The Minister thinks that the
Canadian crop will, this year bo un-
usually large and valuable, but that
owing to war conditions and the
state of the exchanges the movemeni
will likely be slow. This means that
the financial demands in connection
with the crop movement -will be
heavier and more prolonged than
previously. While the banks are in
an unusually liquid condition and
probably able without assistance to
handle the situation, the Minister
feels that the unusual deluands of
grain' customers might result in cur-
tailed banking accommodation• to
other sections of the community, ant:
he therefore urges the banks not to
hesitate to avail themselves of the
privileges of the Act. As Dominion
notes.issued against grain bills would
be retired from time to time as the
crop was sold there is no reason to
apprehend a redundancy of note cir-
culation should the banks freely avail
themselves of the invitation of the
Minister. With abundance of ftinds
available for the crop movement
there will be less likelihood of its
being pressed for sale, at least
against the desire of producers and
dealers.
CANADA IS MAKING
50,000 SHELLS DAILY
In the production of munitions of
war in Canada 145 factories are now
engaged on the $152,000,000 order
placed here for the British Govern-
ment by the Canadian Shell Commis-
sion. In addition to this huge order
there are at hast $10,000,000 worth
of munitions being produced for the
Russian Government. Mr. D. A.
Thomas, representative of the British
Government in Canada, has inspected
all our munition factories in Ontario
and the other Eastern provinces, and
has stated the`. their capacity and effi-
ciency have been a revelation to him
and further great orders are a cer-
tainty. Already the Canadian pro-
duction of shells amounts to 30,000
per day, and soon will reach 50,000.
The production of fixed ammunition
has been greatly increased, and will
soon overtake the output of empty
shells.

• Bluevale
The following comment on the Blue -
vale -Jamestown baseball match is
copied from Bluevale cot, in Brussels
Post: -
Upon a summer's evening, Monday,
August twenty-third,
A sound of wild and woolly cheers in
Bluevale could be heard,
For all the town and countryside had
come to see the game
Wbieh promised to the winners, vic-
tory and deathless fame.
The Jamestown girls blew in town
'neath Charlie Forrest's wing,
The Bluevale girls rolled up their
sleeves and jumped into the ring,
A man from Philadelphia, a brave
and fearless chap,
With heavy life insurance, said he'd
referee the sprat).
The Jamestown girls were whitewash-
ed first, a cheer went up, but then
It wasn't many minutes till they
whitewashed back again
t looked as if a deadlock were des-
tined to spoil the fun,
When in the second innings Annie
Spence secured a run,
That changed the luck for Bluevale,
Carrie Diment got one too,
Irene MacEwen followed suit, before
those girls were through
The team with middy blouses had
their rivals in the air,
The Umpire smiled at Jamestown but
he got the stony stare.
But do not think the Bluevale girls
did all the stunts in sight?
That Mary Smith, of Jameetown, as a
catcher was a fright.
From Greenland's icy mountains to
Africa's sunny coast,
There's Smiths and Smiths and Smiths
and Smiths, a countless host;
There's Smiths in Andalusia and
there's Smiths in Ceylon's Isle,
But catching balls, this Mary Smith
has got 'em skinned a mile,
And when Mise Elsie Johnston whirl-
ed a ball across the plate,
!The big League pitchers we have
known' seemed punk and out-of-
date.
The batters wildly pawed the air and
dropped out one by one
As little Elsie soaked them in like
bullets from the gun.
And at the bat she proved her skill as
well,ae with the mit,
They're finding balls in Wingham yet
That Elsie Johnston hit.
Among the other Johnston girls be-
longing to the nine,
There was Martha, there was Margar-
et and there was Adeline;
'Twas Martha, in the third, who eailed
around the bases three,
May Burke came in behind her with a
whoop of victory
The Miss McDonalds did their best,
Miss Payne was out for gore
But after that, naught they could do
would raise that little score.
For at the bat they had to face Miss
Lillian McCall,
While Mayme Messer caught them
out on nearly every ball,
They very seldom got to first for
Mary King was there,
At second, Mrs, Abram was those
Jamestown girls despair,
While Annie Diment in the field was
one complete surprise,
And tanglefoot had nothing on Mayme
Stewart for catching flies
And when the Umpire waved his bat.
and said the game was through,
The Bluevale girls had made three
runs, the Jamestown girls but two,
It's always cad what happens to these
reckless Umpire chaps,
But while the friends, and relatives
were picking up the scraps,
Two maiden's fair passed through the
crowd that hung upon the fence
And gathered in for Red Cross Funds,
twelve dollars and some cents.

4 Now, when it was known in God -
midi that the men of Clinton were to
come to their city they sent unto them
saying, Come ye, even the fourth day,
5 And it came to pass on the fourth
day of the month called November
that the men of Clinton came to the
city of Goderich.
0 And they went into a field that
is within the city, and the field bath a
high fence round about it,
7 And the young men and maidens
did aosemble to behold the contest.
8 And one Hogan, that kept the
money of the club, did stand at the
gate of the field, and they paid money
unto him that they might enter, but
the maidens paid not,
9 Now there came unto Hogan cer-
tain ones that said Lol we have no
money, yet would fain enter.
10 And Hogan made them sing
sweet songs unto him and them that
were with him, and they did all enter
and were joyful,
11 Now, when they were all ready
to begin, lo! there stood in the midst
of the men of Goderich a man from a
far country, and the name of his coun-
try was written on hie breast.
12 And he was. exceeding strong
and the men of Clinton shrank from
before him.
13 And on the left of him were
Sillers and Durnin. Now Sillers and
Durnin were friends, even as David
and Jonathan, and they did help each
other on the field,
14 And on the right of him were
Elliott and Wren. And behind these
stood Colwell and Gregory; and behind
"these stood Edgie; and by the side of
Edgie was a man with dark garments 1ars
and with a mark on his breast; and in r �
the goal between the stakes of it stood %;11
Morrieon as he did aforetime. ije4
15 And it came to pass that the ball
passed though the goal of Clinton, be• V C4
tween the et akes of it and beneath the e�
string of it, oven four times, and came •Zr,
not nigh the goal of Goderich. %IC
10 And the monies that were paid
unto Hogan were two hundred and 3
twenty andfive cents, •.
17 And there were certain young Irk
men that came not in by the gate but a
would fain climb over the fence.

them on the hands and on the face ,11t4
and did smite them from the fence, i..

1 Now it happened that there resid
ed in the city of Goderich, among th
Modellites certain men from the city
of Seaforth.
2 And behold! these men w e n
among those that did play football and
said;
3 Behold ye have gained many vie
tories and your fame has gone abroa
to the endo of the earth,'
4 Ye be mighty men,, indeed; Yea
thou are right valiant, but I say unt
thee, there be mightier than thou
even in the city of Seaforth.
5 There b e dwel t
le h in the city of Sea
forth one Crawford; a wealthy man.
0 And he bath given to the young
men of Seaforth a vessel of gold and
silver.
7 And he hath sworn that they
shall hold it as long as no man defeat
them.
8 But on that day that the men of
any other city shall defeat them, he
shall take it from them again and give
it unto those that have vanquished
them.
9 And behold no man hath taken it
from them unto this day.
10 Now therefore, go ye unto Sea -
forth and defeat them, for ye be migh-
ty men, and bring unto Goderich that
vessel of silver.
11 The men of Goderich said that
the words of the Seaforthite were
good, and forthwith they prepared to
go unto Seaforth• -
12 But they had no gold or silver in
their coders and, said they, behold we
shall be weak indeed if we go forth
without money.
13 Let us therefore go unto the el-
ders of the city,and the merchants and
the law givere,and the wealthy men of
the city, and they shall give us where-
with to go to Seaforth.
14 So they went to these men and
entreated them saying: Give unto us,
we pray thee, of thine abundance.
15 And they gave unto them abund
antly more than they needed,
16 And it came to pass that Sillers
said unto the men: -
17 Behold! let ue take with us these
Seaforthites and they shall be guides
unto ue.
18 But behold! the men of Seaforth
had fled to their city and they did
stand in the street and said:
19 Lol these men that come against
thee are valiant men, Beware, there-
fore, lest they defeat thee and thou
iosest thy vessel of silver.
20 And it came to pass that on the
eleventh day of the eleventh month
the young men of Goderich did play
with the men of Seaforth.
21 And behold the ball did pass
through the goal of Goderieh twice
and once only did it enter the goal of
Seaforth. So the men of Goderich re-
turned sorrowing unto their city, bur
Arde returned not unto the third day.
22 And the men of Seaforth hold the
gold and silver vessel unto this day.
CHAPTER VI
1 In the north country there is a
city called Wingham.
2 And the fame of Goderich had
gone abroad even un'o This city,
8 And the young men of this city
when they heard of the glory of the
men of Goderich made ready to sot out
to Goderich.
4 For, said they, if we defeat there
men we shall gain even greater glory
than they,
5 But when they heard the men of
Seaforth had defeated the men of God.
erich they set not forth.
0 For, said they, we than gain no
glory
deli defeating them that be al-
readyd.

TELLING IT TO THE SERGEANT. -
You say that you need recruits, see.
geant, to go and face the foe,
And I guess it's true as you say, set-
geant, still you can't expect me j
to go;
For war, you know, is a dirty trade,
and work I could never enjoy;
So you'll have to get some other chap
than me, for I am my mother's
boy.
You say that you need recruits ser•
geant, to go across the sea;
No doubt you do, and they ought to
go, but of course you don't mean
me.
Let the fellows go who are out of a
job, but my old man is rich;
Besides I'm the star of the baseball
and they need me at home to
pitch.
What's that? The ranks need filling
up and they crave help at the
front? '
Well, I haven't trained for the fight-
ing game or any such vulgar stunt.
They say that the flies are bad out
there when you're Bitting around
in a trench,
And I have been gently reared, you
know, and I couldn't abide the
stench.
I might, of course, go as an officer, as
colonel or major, perhaps,
But not as a common fighting man,
That'll do for working chaps.
I might ride 'round in a motor car
and watch through a glass the
war,
But I never could march and carry
a gun, my feet would get too
sore.
Of course, as you say, some chaps
must go to face the bloody Hun;
But my nerves could never stand the
strain; I cannot endure a gun,
I approve of the war, of course, and
I'm loyal sir, you can bet.
But home looks good, and, sergeant,
say, have you got a cigarette?
