Rest means nothing uuless it comes after hard work; change counts for nothing when it is merely a shift from frivolity to folly.

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 at the same period of 1922 and it will be some time before the peak of the movement is restched. In Ed- monton district, from which it has been estimated there will be a total wheat tonnage in the neighborhood of half a million bushels, the harvesting of grain was delayed by unfavorable weather, so that only "some 11,000 bushels have been loaded. The car situation is very favorabhe, and on the Canadian National -Rail- ways it is stated to be better this year than at any previous time. A despatch from Ottawa says:— The ja,pencee consul has advised Hon. T. A. Low, Minister of Trade and Commerce, who has. charge of Japan- ese relief rneasureie in Canada, that the districts suffering from ,the recent catastrophe need lumber and other building Materials, as well as cloth- ing and blankets. They are not ask- ing for foodstuffs. The minister said that further quantities of the materials in demand would be ehipped to Japan, 'on the part Of the Canadian Government, just as ...quickly as shipping facilities became available. A dispatch froni Washington says :--Japanese relief funds are 'far beyond the $5,000,000 goal; The Bed Cross reported $5;663,100 in hand Thuleday night, and hundreds of thousands more in prospect.

Purchase was also made of 300,- 000 additional suits of , unclerviear; raaldng a total so far a 500,000.
