Port Arthur, Ont, -The Thunder
Bay Paper Co. have commenced work
on the new addition to the mill, and
gangs of men are now at work pre-

FATHER AND SON KILLED
AT LEVEL CROSSING
C.P.R. Train Struck Automo-
bile, Making Third Tragedy
in Three Days in Cen-
tral Ontario.
Milton, July 31. -In the third fatal
level crossing accident in Central On-
tario in three days Alfred H. Terrill
and his aged father, James N. Terrill,
were instantly killed at Anderson's
crossing on the Second Line, Trafal-
gar, west of Milton, about 7.35 o'clock
this evening when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by an eastbound Canadian Pacific
passenger train.
According to Oliver Pearson, who
witnessed the accident from the tower
at the G.N.R. and C.P.R. diamond
about 150 yards west of the crossing,
the unfortunate men were coming east
toward Milton in a roadster at about.
15 miles an hour. As the car ap-
proached the crossing, which is double -
tracked, the westbound C.P.R. ex-
press, known as "The Canadian,"'
went by, evidently cutting off the
sight of the eastbound train.
As Mr. Terrill, still travelling at
15 miles an hour, went to cross be-
hind the westbound train his car was
struck by the oncoming eastbound ex-
press and hurled about 50 feet.
The bodies of father and son were
picked up. 50 feet farther on at the
bottom of a steep embankment, The
car was a total wreck, and the bodies
of the victims were badly mangled,
their faces: being mutilated almost
beyond recognition.
Alfred Terrill, the son, evil°. was
driving the car, was an insurance in-
spector for the' Sun Life of Canada.
He was about 40 years, of age.. A
particularly sad aspect of the tragedy
is that he leaves a wife 'and little
child. James Terrill, his father, the
ether victim, was a widower, 84 years
of age. Mr, Terrill, Sr., lived with his
son in a house on Commercial' Street,.

says: -A deficit of more than a mil-

June is shown in the report of Sir
John Crosbie, Minister of Finance for
Newfoundland. in the annual budget
statement presented to the Legisla-
ture: In his report, the Minister of

due in part to the removal of duties
and partly to large overdrafts, which,
he asserts, were avoidable if proper

CROP YIELD OF WORLD
LESS THAN LAST YEAR

Sections. �.
A despatch from Roms says:-'
European cereal prospects are favor-
able, but almost everywhere crops
will be less than last ye=ar, the Ant: r -
national Agricu_tursl institute here
announces. heavy rams end hail in
some parts of the continent have done
considerable damage.
North and Northwest Europe ex-
pect crops above the average; the
central, southern and southeastern
countries slightly below.
Tho "'Tench African Colonies and
Asia will have poor crops owing to
lack of ram. United States prospects
are reported better than on June 1,
except for corn.
The Institute estimates world pro-
duction of wheat will be 435000,100
quintals as against 474,000,000 bat
year; 47,000,000 of rye, an increase
of 1,000,000; 87,000,000 of barley as
against 100,000,000 last year, and
214,000,000 of oats as against 207,-
000,000. (A quintal is 220.46 lbs.)
These figures, however, do not in-.
elude Russia, for which the Institute
has no data.
Federal Pensions for Aged
Poor Favored by Citizens
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Some measure of Federal pensions
for aged poor is favored in a major-
ity of the replies received from muni-
cipalities to a circular letter issued by
the Parliamentary Committee on Old
Age Pensions during the recent ses-
sion. This is revealed in a summary
published in the current Labor Ga-
zette, which tabulates about forty re-
plies received to the circular letter,
which was sent out to 135 municipal-
ities ]n the Dominion. Of these only
about five are against the proposal of
Federal old age pensions. Most of
those replying have already extended
some measure of relief to poor aged
during the past few years, and ap-
prove the idea of an organized and
permanent system under Federal
control.

In the peak year of 1918, Canada
became the second largest producer of

from a deposit near Quyon, on the,
Ottawa river in Quebec, about 30

some time was the world's largest -,

Promote Production of
Beet Sugar in England
A despatch from London says:
Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden.
announced sit the House of Commons
that the Government intended to in-
troduce legislation to promote the
hone production of beet sugar by
giving a subsidy of 19 shillings 6
pence per hundredweight. It is believ-
ed that it will require a decade to put
the industry on its feet, and the sub-
sidy will gradually be reduced to 13
Shillings after four years, to 6 shil-
lings 6 pence after a further four
years, and will be abolished after ten
years.
British Aviators Weather-

A despatch from Tokio says: -A.
Stuart &IacLaren, the British aviator,
and his companions, on a round -the -
world flight, are still at Petropav-

been received here, but it is believed
that they are weather-bound.
Official report indicates that Al-
berta has increased -its wheat acreage
this year, the figure being 5,077,500
acres, as against 5,958,361 acres. ,The
1 province's average wheat production
last year was 28 bushels per acre.
The sum of 31,200 is being collected in Canada by General Sir A. C. Mao-
d'onell to maintain in good condition the memorial cruse and stone cairn in
honor of those of the first division who fell at Vimy.
Canada's trade is growing,at a
faster ratic than ever before, despite
the war, until she now sells to 100
and. buys groin 77 countries. Her total
foreign trade climbed in the calendar
year of 1923 to 31,918,264,759, an in-
crease of 16 per cent. in a year. Her
interchange of commerce increased 70
per cent. between 1913.14 and the
past year.

' Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior at Ottawa says•
1 The sea'herring is a comparative -
1 ly small fish yet it is one of the moat
important of the food fishes of Can-
ada. On both the east and west
coasts large catches are secured. On
the east coast Nova Scotia last year
took 8,256 tons, New Brunswick 12,-
166 tons, Prince Edward Island 2,554
tons, and Quebec 8,245 tons. British
Columbia produced 65,000 tons.
The British Columbia coastal waters
are, however, Canada's greatest her-
ring fishery. They are found along
almost the entire length of the coast,
but particularly around Vancouver
Island they are very plentiful
A large packing industry has been
built up for what is known as "Scotch
cured" limning, which consists of
s repos
an extent as to warrant the re -opening
recently of the Quyon nine. Enquir-
ies are being received from the Un-
ited States and Europe for supplies,.
The concentrates from the above mine
range from 90 to 96 per cent. molyb-
denite, while what is recognized as
standard and the grade upon which
the market price is based in New
'York is 85 per cent. The increasing
number of commercial uses being
found for molybdenum as a: result of
research and investigation may be
expected to create a greater demand
for the metal and a more general min-
ing of molybdenite throughout Can-
ada to meet the demand.
"Big" Men.
To call a man "big" is to utter a
challenge. Those who hear the word
applied are aroused , to ask, 'What
has he done?" It is useless for any
man to insist on his own pre-eminence;
his quality must be determined and
his place assigned by others who have
seen and appraised his work.
The "big" man is not the noisiest.
His are often the "schemes accom-
plished in repose." He has great pa-
tience and can wait. It does not fret
him to find other men arriving before
him; as he is not puffed up over any -
success of his own, so, in the belief
that all work is more important than
the workman, he is glad that a worthy
undertaking goes forward, whoever is
honored and rewarded for it.
It is the little man who clamors for
the credit, and must be advertised as
the figure of supreme importance on
the landscape wherever he appears.
Petty claimants for applause and
praise invite the amused tolerance of
the truly great, who wonder why hu-
man beings should so perturb them-
selves over the trivial insignia of
rank, authority and social precedence.
What is any honor that man can be-
stow on man compared with the need
of getting the world's work done?
The little man calls a halt in the
middle of business to affirm his own
consequence, when the real importance
attaches not to him, nor to any other
person, but to the affair in hand. In
every sort of occupattion the personal
'equation cannot be ignored; there is
