This 'Country's Welfare. A despatch from London says: Ar- rangements have been almost com- pleted for the inauguration . of the Canadian Association here. The ex ecutive of the new organization will be composed of the High Commission- er, Sir George Purley, the Agents- General of the several provinces, and bankers, with a few other Dominion leaders. The main object of the new association will be to watch and pro- mote Canadian commercial and finan- cial legislation and the social interests which have the welfare of the Em- - pineat heart. A careful lookout will also be kept for whoever may at any time seek to exploit Canada at the expense of the good reputation of the Dominion. Apart from war organizations, the only body which in any way approxi- mates to the new one is the Canada Club which formerly met for social purposes, but whose gatherings have -been suspended during the continua- tion of the war. FARMERS •PROSPEROUS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY A despatch from Cobalt says ; The bush fires which for the past number of years have been more or less of a menace to the development of the North country have been conspicuous by their absence during the present Summer. Hp to the present time not one fire of any importance ,has been 41110.617- reported, due no doubt to the large amount of rain, which has kept the -bush green and the underbrush more ,abundant than is usual, In practical- ly every .instance where farmers were burned out last Summer in the big are, ,rebuilding has taken place and their crops are better than ever. In a good many cases the clearing of the land was made easy by the Ore, with the result that a large acreage is un- der- crop than would otherwise have been the case.

A despatch from London says: Premier Lloyd George, speaking in the House of Commons said that this time last year the wheat in this coun- try amounted to 6,480,000 quarters and that now it is 8,600,000 quarters. The stock of oats and barley, he de- clared, also was higher. There had been a considerable sav- ing in bread consumption, the Premier said, and owing' to the closer milling and food economy there had been an addition to the wheat stock of 70,000 quarters per week. (A quarter is equivalent to 480 pounds.) Mr. Lloyd George said the acreage under cultivation showed an increase of one million acres. If the harvest weather was good the condition of food supplies was very satisfactory. The Premier added that there had been an increase in the sugar reserve. "The Government has come to the conclusion," Premier Lloyd George' said, "that with reasonable economy there is no chance of starving Eng- land out. "The Admiralty plans for dealing with submarines have been increasing- ly successful." MUNITIONS BOARD BARS ELIGIBLES A despatch from Ottawa says: The Imperial Munitions Board on Thurs- day notified its male employees that none of those eligible for military ser- vice would be retained on the stag after conscription has been put into effect. It also gave notice that those enlisting prior to the operation of the obligatory service measure would re- ceive half of one month's salary as a bonus. The announcement, which eves not unexpected, affects a large member, for while the number of eligibles now in the employ of, the board is small, as compared with a year ago, the lengthy payroll still in- cludes the names of many who will come under the scope of the compul- sory service bill.
