Crowds are to be seen continuously outside the windows studying the rep- resentation with interest and inci- dentally acquiring a knowledge of Canadian geography. Sea Weather Maps Made by Experts on Liner On arrival at Liverpool in the Cun- ard liner Germania from Canada, Sir Napier Shaw, professor of meteor- ology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, said that on the way out to Canada, from the decks of the Camila, and by; means of wireless, a meteorological map of the northern hemisphere was made. He added that this is the first time such a thing has been done on board ship at sea. Sanguinary Battle is Raging in Honduras A despatch from Tegucigalpa, Hon-' duras, says: -A sanguinary battle between the Government forces and the rebels has been raging for the past 24 hours around Comayagua. No details have yet been received as to the exact situation of the contending armies. Government troops have recaptured Santa Rosa, Copan and La Esperanza from the rebels. On the North American continent the British possessionsare larger by nearly 100,000 square miles than these of the United States. RAIN IN WEST SENDS WHEAT PRICE SOARING Heavy Downpour Sets Back Harvest :Boat Traffic on Increase. A despatch from Winnipeg says: - While rain was falling on Friday all over Western Canada, wheat was soar - in g on the Winnipeg market. The ad- vance was sensational, The market for October wheat closed on Thursday at $1.411,4, On Friday it jumped up as high as $1.47es, and closed at $1.48%. This is almost 50 cents a bushel higher than a year ago to -day, when the hist the farmer could get was 97 cents a bushel. The market was influenced largely by the weather. The rainfall all over the country is a veritable downpour. In twenty-four hours 8,40 inches of rain has .fallen at Broadview, Sask. At Winnipeg an inch of rain had fallen up to 7 o'clock Friday morning, and there has been a downpour all day. It means that all harvesting opera- tions will be suspended three of four days. Even if the weather should turn and the country be favored with the best of dry weather, it is feared the grade will be lowered as a result of the soaking the sheaves have had, and even more serious loss may come from sprouting if the rain should be followed by warm, calm days. From this break in the threshing will follow a slump in the grain movement to market, which was just getting well under way. On Thurs- day shipments totalled nearly four and a half million bushels, which was almost equal to the movement this date a year ago. 'A despatch from Ottawa says: - Canal statistics compiled by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistic's show an increase in the quantity of wheat which passed through the St. Law- rence, Welland and Sault Canals dur- ing August of the present year, as compared with August, 1928. Wheat shipments through the Sault Ste. Marie Canals were heavier by 2,432,- 428 bushels, but other grains and flour were lighter than In August, 1923. Total traffic on the Welland Canal last month was heavier than in Aug- ust, 1923, by 81,107 tone, due almost, entirely to an increase in wheat of 159,682 tons, or 5,822,700 bushels, I Wheat shipments through the St. Lawrence canals were heavier than during August, 1923, by 117,33,3 tons, or 3,913,100 bushels. Canada Decides Against Prolonging Wembley Fair • A despatch front London says: - The Canadian Government has notie lied the Colonial Office that it does not favor incurring any considerable further expense necessary to keep its part of the British Empire Exhibition going for another year. It has been reported in the British press that the Prince of, Wales, who is patron o! the project, may endeavor to persuade the authorities at Ottawa of the ad- visability of its continuance, but, fail- ing this, it would appear that Canada has pronounced against carrying on the exhibition for another year. -4 The great boon that the radio has become to settlors in the Northland is emphasized by Rev.

A despatch from Geneva says: - Indications that the Far Eastern countries, especially China and Japan, will stand together in insisting upon all their rights before the League of Nations was furnished by Thursday night's session of the League of Na- tions, Japan came out squarely in favor of granting China a seat on the Council of the League as a great Asiatic rower, thus giving expression to Japo-Chinese solidarity. Persia also backed China's insistence that the great: geogrephical divisions of the world, the priueipal races and the chief sources of wealth should all be recognized in the distriaution of Council scuts. and urged that China be given a seat because Aria is the largest country in the wee "ontain- ing half the human race. Through the unanimous adojs9on of n resolution favoring the allocation of seats on the basis of geographical di- visions, it would seem likely that the present number of non -permanent seats, which is six, will bo increased, so as to include China and perhaps some other countries. Another feature of ' Thursday night's session of the Assembly was an address by Viscount Ishii, on the question of equitable treatment of foreign nationals in the domain of international commerce, upon which the permanent Economic Commission of the League submitted a preliminary report. Viscount Ishii declared that Japan attached great importance to this question, for she considered that. it was one of the most important tasks of the League to see to it that "no member of ho League is subject to any, unjust discrimination in its interna- tional activity in the field of econ-' omics," "In order to facilitate peace and insure the progress of the world," he continued, "It is necessary that the peoples should respect one another.' The question of the equitable treat- ment of foreign nations is a gauge of the evolution of the League of Na- tions. In the last month the dawn of a new era of peace and mutual under- standing has been rising In Europe." A despatch from Ottawa says: - The King's proclamation dec:anny Monday, November 10th (Armistice Day), "as a day of general thanks- giving throughout Canada," is pub- lished in this week's issue of the Can- ada Gazette_ An outstanding feature of the Do- minion's field production this year is. the fact that every grain in Ontario shows an increase oven iest year, and; the province has one of the best all, round crone in some years. 1 BRITAIN .ATTACHES G a , VE SIGNIFICANCE TO TURK RAIDS IN IRAK A despatch from London says:- terms of the treaty of Lausanne, Tur- App•rehension is expressed in Biitish1key promised to abide by the status official circles that grave consequences Lquo prevailing at the time the treaty may ensue because of alleged Turkish I was signed pending settlement by the settlement by the Council of the 'Lea - incursions into Irak, Lord Parinoor1gue of the frontier dispute. brought the controversy before' the The Turks dispute the British inter - League of Nations and it is now a pretation of the Lausanne treaty re- subject of correspondence between;garding the boundaries between Irak London and Angora, I and Mortal, and declare that Turkey The Turkish and British claims are has never ceased to maintain her mutually contradictory and wholly 41- I rights in the Mosul territory, which vesgent.

Although somewhat fatigued by his four-day train journey, and suffering from a severe cold in the head, the Prince, accompanied' by Gen, Trotter, Sir Walter Peacock and Prof. W. L. Carlyle, inspected the buildings, pay- ing particular attention to the new barn now in course of erection, and after the live stock had been inspect- ed, he rode the range for as couple of hours. He returned to the ranch house shortly after 5 o'clock and en- joyed a hearty dinner. The Prince spent the remainder of the evening reading and emolcing his favorite pipe. He also tuned in for the special radio concert from Cal- gary, and before retiring he wrote several letters. No visitors were re- ceived on the first day of his holiday. Cutting his visit to the ranch this year down to six days, the Prince of r Wales leaves here on Wednesday evening for Vancouver, arriving there on October 4, and crossing the next day to Victoria.

'Bernier. A despatch from 'Quebec says: The Tong' discussed question as to whether the Dominion of Canada will ever benefit materially from the min- eral riehes of the northern islands in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle, many of which have been claimed for Can- ada in anadain recent years by Captain J. S. Bernier, noted ,adventurer and Arctic explorer, would appear to be more or leas definitely settled with the arrival of the "Arcti" at this port. That there is every reasdn to be enthusiastic over the almost_ limitless possibilities in regard to the mineral development of the far north country, was the keynote of statements made by members of the expedition to the Canadian Press, the information be- ing given out that, perhaps, in a short period of time, 'the agents of the Federal Government will take steps to open up and develop what are considered to- be huge 'treasures in mineral ore. F. M. DaHenderson, of the North- west Territories and Yukon branch of the"Federal Department of the In- terior, stated in the course of an inter- view, that although it would be a lit- tle premature to speak with exacti- tude as to the wealth of the northern islands, he and all concerned were strongly of the opinion that the re- sources there might prove to be of such a vast and wealthy nature as to astonis h the civilized world. The "Arctic" went as far north as Kane Basin, on the northeastern coast of Greenland: Dependent Children. Home -finding as a method of -provid- ing for neglected and dependent child- ren is now fully recognized as being in the best interests of both the child and the community. The child Is pawed under normal conditions with the op- portunity of forming life-long attach- ments, while for the community there is the gain in social adjustment and economy. No child philanthropy can be considered progreseive and efficient which does not aim to secure for the homeless child a safe place in some family circle. Taking this for granted ft follows naturally that there must be a complete and comprehensive plan of supervision. On tilts point Mr. J', J, Kelso very truly says; "Too much importance can- not be attached to this branch of child-protectlou work. if 1t is care- lessly done and correspondence relied upon for information instead of a per- sonal visit, the home -finding move- ment will be brought into disrepute a,sm w¢ tst°rr A i and the happiness of many a child completely wrecked.
