Bureau of. Statistics, will probably prove the most valuable in the 'Domin- ion's history. Wiest, while much below the big yield of 1923 of 474,000,000 bushels, will add far ,more this year to the neiion's wealth than in that year, and: in any other year, as it is this year the largest` yield, outside of '1923, and higher prices will rule. Fall wheat production by the whole ceuntry is eetinated at 23,697,000 bushels, as compared with 22,294,900 bushels last year; spring wheat, 868,122,000, as eompared with 239,803,000. last year, and all wheat, 891,819,000 bushels, as compared with 262,097,000 bushels, an increase of 129,722,000 bushels, or over 50 per cent. The wheat yield of the t)Liee Prairie, Provinces is estimated at 863,131,000 bushels, an increase of 127,437,000 bushels, or nearly r 50 per cent. , A considerable gain, too, is shown byoats, the total yield for the Domin- ion being estimated at 514,827,000 bushels, as compared, with .4.05,976,000 bushels; rye, 16;527,000 bushels, ' as compared with .18,760,000; barley, 111,709,000 bushels, as against 88,- 807,000; flax seed,; 9,458,000 bushels, as compared with 9,694,000 bushels, The estimated yield of barley is the largest on record; that : of oats has been exceeded only twice, and that of flax seed has been exceeded only by last year's total of 9,694,700 bushels. Ontario's estimated grain yield for this year and -the final production of last year follow, respectively: Wheat, 25,285,000 bushels and 83,346,000; oats, 116,617,000 bushels and 114,249,- 000; barley, 14,796,000 bushels and 14,570,000; rye, 1,796000 bushels and 2,300,000; flax, 120,000 bushels and 78,000.

LOST U.S. AIRMEN DISCOVERED ALIVE Searching Submarine Reports That Plane's Crew Are Well —Seaplane Now in Tow. A despatch from Honolulu says: Captain John Rodgers, commander of the missing naval seaplane PN -9 No. 1, and his. crew of four men were found 'olive on Thursday night 15 miles east of Kauai by submarine R-4, The plane was sighted floating shortly after 4 o'clock in the morning when the submarine R-4 started to meat the destroyers coming in from the fleet. The submarine was commanded by Lieut. Osborne, who, upon taking off Rodgers and his crew, immediately. notified naval authorities, saying the plane was in tow and would arrive in Pearl Harboe Thursday night. Lieut. Osboene's message, other than saying the men were safe' and well, did not give' their condition, simply saying he had taken the plane in tow, When the news of the finding of Rodgers and his men was confirmed by the navy haere, Honolulu papers. issued extras and the people of the city went wild with joy, enacting scenes reminiscent of the .Armistice. White -clad Bailors from the fleet, some of whom had been shipmates of the men of the PN -9 No. 1, mingled with civilians in an eager rush to obtain papers conveying the news. Rodgers and his crew wore in good health. This was indicated in a mes- sage intercepted by an amateur radio operator from Hawiliwili, which said: "Request tug be sent to Hawiliwili for Rodgers and crew, who in good heh. Rodgalters and his crew left San Francisco in an attempted non-stop flight to Honolulu on Aug. 31. The following afternoon, 24 hours after his seaplane, the PN -9 No. 1, hopped off, the plane and crew ,disappeared about 300 miles from its destination. Last' messages from the PN -9 No. 1 stated that its gasoline supply was about exhausted and a forced landing was expected.

The cook stove will be moved into the inside kitchen and the heater will be set up ready for winter. In many cases stoves and heaters will be put back under the same conditions as prevailed when they ware taken down, notwithstanding that this may be ex- ceedingly dangerous. Clic of the first essentials in pre- paring for the winter season is to have the chimneys, cleaned. This is not a difficult job, It can easily be ' performed by those at home, and it shoed not under any consideration be neglected. After the chimney has been cleaned remove the accumulation of soot at the base, as this may stop the draught. Another important pre- - caution after cleaning is to examine the chimney for cracks or places where the mertar may have fallen out, particularly where the chimney goes through an unused attic. Where stovepipes go through walls or ceilings the_ pipes should be well insulated, and should ee at least ten inches from wall or ceiling. Doubly thimbles with perforations surround- ing the stovepipe aro best fur this purpose, Fire -box doors should close tightly and securely, to avoid danger of flying sparks setting fire to the Noes. A prevalent fire danger is the putting of kindling weed over night into the oven, leaving the door open. The heat is liable to char the wood, when it will easily become. ignited, The old-fashioned wood box is an- other fire danger. It is usually the resting place for an accumulation of chips and pieces of paper, which only awaits an unextinguished oaten to start a fire. Under no consideration should Bas- eline or coal oil be used on fires. Even when apparently dead, there may be a live coal among the ashes. The con- ec tact of gasoline or coal oil with these live coals causes an explosion of the generated gas and a quick flash of flame. Many lives have been sacri- ficed through this practice. These are but simple precautions with fere, and their observance may possibly save the householder and his family from being turned out of his home on some cold winter night. Queen Comes to Aid of Weavers on Northern Islands A despatch from London says:— Shawls are to be fashionable in Eng- land this autumn because Queen Mary has made up her mind to do the wo- men of the North Scotland Islands a favor. The queen follows with great inter- est the fortunes of the island folk, and has become much perturbed that there is considerable poverty' among the women there, owing to the demand for Shetland shawls having fallen off in recent years. In society circles the word has gone around that the queen intends to bring about the shawl revival: as soon as possible, To do this, all that is nec- essary is for the queen, Princess Mary and the Duchess of York to wear shawls on a few occasions.' Then the shawl will come again into its own, helping to make the. Shetland weavers happy once more. Bustles, too, are corning back—in the form of dresses with, a sort of old- style bustle effect. Such dresses are being shown now at London's fall fa- shion show. There are also dresses with flat backs, dresses that hang straight, dresses that flare, long skirts, short skirts, crinoline skirts, pannierskirts, skirts that are gathered and others that preserve the familiar "pencil sil- houette."
