Mr. MacDonald embarked to -day. So

Donald is not likely to have any diffi-

The Allies will ' meet ,Tuly 10, if

be .to agree how to put the Dawes

say, "We;will welcome the Prince to

The general feeling of the party
is' that the invitation should be given

because of the intervention of the
election, "and we, as Nationalists,

any that could bo given him in South

Canada to Sell Flour in
• China as Rice Substitute
This summer China reports a de-
cided shortage in the ameunt of rice
produced, at home, and grave fears
are expressed for that pant of the l
republic fell from Hongkong, owing to,'
tlia"big advance in prices ,o f rice from'
Burnie, says 'a Winnipeg despatch.
Japan has entered into. a trade treaty
with Cochin China; and itis feared
that the rice from that part of the
country will go to Japan. Canadian
flour mills and wheat exporters are
keenly interested in the rice situation,
,as they expect to supply flour to take
the place of rice,

Flying Torpedoes Steered by
, Wireless, Latest British -Plan
London, June 22.:—"Flying torpe-
does," steered by wireless, is the lat-
est achievement o£ the research ex-
perts
xperts in the British War Ministry.
The new .projectiles have bodies bodies ap
proxinmately similar in shape to.ihose
of the submarine torpedoes. • The idea
of the inventor is that a number of
these bombs can be carried by heavy
planes to a great height, outside the
reach of the anti-aircraft gun's, and
then released. By means of wireless
flashes from the big,plane the gliding
torpedoes can be directed with some
accuracy, and steered towards the
objectives which are intended for de-
•struction.

National Wealth of Canada is
Figured at $2,500 Per Head.
Canada's national wealth is esti-
mated by the Bureau of Statistics at
'522,482,841,182—which works out
around 52,500 per head of population.
The estimate has been reached under
the "inventory" method. This consists
in totalling the amounts .known to
have been invested in " agriculture,
manufactures cddww
e 1I
ngs, etc.
Farm values are the largest item
in the total, ' these—which include
buildings, machinery, live stock, etc.
--accounting for 56,392,861,789. The
next largest item is urban real pro-
perty, totalling 55,944,000,000.-

FLOCKING TO CANADA
Farm Workers and Domestic
Servants from Ports of
North Country. .
A despatch from London says:—
There is evidence in the estimated,
figures , of the number of emigrants
who embarked in Scotland for Canada
between March -a. and May 31 of an
increase in the flow of emigration. In
March approximately 2,900 emigrants
sailed for Canada from Scottish ports,
in April over 4,000, and in May over
6,000, the estimated total for the three
months being 12,050 and the average
per month being about 4,000.
Tire average for the first three
months of 1928 was, about 1,000 per
month, and for the second three
months about 3,400. In the whole
Year29,070 Scottish emigrants land-
ed in Canada, This year the emigrant
season began earlier in the spring,
and, as will be seen from the figures
given, it has already reached a higher
rate per month. If .this -increase is
maintained throughout the season the
total for tho year will exceed that
for 1923.
Although men and women of a wide
variety of trades and callings have
been among the emigrants, the main
classe's in point of numbers have been
farm workers and domestic servants:
These have been drawn largely from
the rural districts in the Northeast
and North of Scotland, while between
800 and 90,5 persons have gone from
the Outer Hebrides to Alberta and
Ontario. r.
BRITAAIN AVENGES '

pelled the highest military Ieaders
there to' walk to the 'cemetery in full

thio body of Edwin C, Hawley, a U.S,
-citizen, killed there by Chinese junk-
men, and to attend the burial service
for him.
After the 'Chinese leaders had made

carried out the orders of the Com-
mander of the Cockehafer to arrest

U. S. 'Consul Clarence J. Spiker
reached Wanhsien from Chungking
last Friday, and reported to the U.S,
Legation hero in a message confirm-
ing the death of Hawley. His report,
however, gave no further details of.
the dispute over shipment of wood
and oil by the steamers instead of the
junks, which had been reported as
the occasion for the attack which -re-
sulted in the death of Hawley, who
was a representative of Arnhold Bros.

Liechtenstein Inchided in
Treaties With Switzerland
•
The British Government has an -
pounced its agreement to the inclu
sion, in all treaties between Great
Britain and Switzerland, of the prin-
cipality of Liechtenstein, which, be-
fore the war, to all intents and pur-
poses, formed part of Austria-Hun-
gary, says a. London despatch. The
territory concerned amounts to only
sixty-five square miles, but there are
12,000 persons living in that area, and
they are singularly blessed in that
they have never hitherto had to pay
any taxes or state expenses of any
kind, these costs being defrayed by.
the Prince of Liechtenstein himself.
The principality dates back to 1148.
It has.theunique distinction of being
the only European country still at
war with Germany, hostilities dating
back to 1866, the time of the Austro -
German war. The principality' re-
fused to sign the peace treaty ending
that conflict, but this omission was

To Canada
To oceans three thy rivers bear their
toll,
And be their path or east, or north,
or west,
They sing the song they learned upon
the crest_'
Of mountains whose high pinnacles
their goal
Decide; their music echoes from each
knoll
Upon unmeasured prairies summer-
drest,
And when through forest glades they
take their quest
Their ' harmonies the rooted trees
console.
Thus, as to all the earth the rivers'
song
Is borne in happy cadences of peace,
And glad, full -volumed tones of joy-
ous might,
So may our nation's anthem, pure and
strong,
Proclaim that Canada shall never
cease
To be the home of freedom, truth and
right. —Jennie Stork Hill.

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept. of the Interior at
Ottawa says:
:Canada on July 1 will be fifty-seven 1
year'sof age. When it is remembered.
that at the time of Confederation
there were less than 110;000 people
west of the Ontario boundary, includ-
ing Manitoba, the Northwest Terri-
tories and British Columbia, the
growth of the western portion of
Canada has been almost phenomenal.
By the census of 1921 this portion of
Canada contained nearly two and one-
half million people.
Greater still is the development --
which has taken place in agriculture
in what was then the Northwest' Ter-
ritories, The earliest returns, . avail-
able, ;those for 1891, give the • acreage
devoted to wheat, oats, barley and
rye, in Alberta and Saskatchewan as
188,915 acres, and the total product::
as 3,637,742 bushels. In 1923 the
acreage devoted to these four crops
in the two provinces amounted to 27,-
537,620, with a total output of 802,-
782,000 bushels. In 1891 the .total.
value of the field crops of the,whole
of Canada was 5194,953,420, while
last year the total value of the field
crops of Alberta and Saskatchewan
amounted to 5414,118,000, the valine of
the wheat alone amounting to 5272,-
647,000. Of the total 144,000,00
acres of arable land in the two prc-
vines but 81,089,873 acres was under
field crops last year. What the next
few years will mean to these pro-
vinces, with the influx' of population
and the cultivation of greatly increas-
ed acreage, can hardly be appreciated.
These figures, however, give Can-
adians an insight into what is taking
place in Alberta and Saskatchewan
in putting Canada into the front rank
as a grain producing area and con-
ferring the title of this country as
the granary of the empire.
Canada's Farm Population.
Over 50 per cent. of Canada's
population is 'rural. The 50.4 per
cent. figure is taken from the 1921
Dominion Government census. The
remaining 49.6 per cent. comprises the
population of cities, towns and vil-
lages. "Yet in some provinces, vil-
lages comprise less ishan 40 people,
and in such cases," says 'Canada's.
Farm Family,' "include population
which is really farmer. Making al-
lowance for this, the real figure for
the farm population of Canada Is
nearer 60 per cent. than 60 percent.
of the total."
Patriotism.
To be proud of one's country is not
enough. To love one's country is not
enough. A true, patriot lives for his
country and wherever he goes is a
credit to his flag. He is not only
proud of his country --he makes his
country proud of him. He not only
loves his country, butmakes others
love her.
YOU are Canada—and every gre-
ness that you do is hers.
YOU are Canada—every failure
that you make is hers.
The sum total of all of our lives
added together snakes up the history
of this glorious Doininion, Giveyour
share to her honor and your ;share
to her pride.
