WESTERN GRAIN ."
CROP HARVESTED
A despatch from Winnipeg says: -
A violent storrp from the north, ac-
companied by heavy rain squalls, is
driving over Manitoba, but tempera-
tures remain higher. This is the first
real interruption to what has been the
most successful harvest,and thrashing
season of recent record. The entire
grain crop of Manitoba is safe. This
includes fields of oats that farmers
even when they sowed them had no
expectation would turn out other than
green feed.
Quite as remarkable as the con-
tinued fine weather has been the sin-
gular immunity from killing frosts -
or, indeed, from frosts of any kind.
In this district cucumber beds are still
untouched.
Slight frosts are recorded in Al-
berta, but the crop is long past the
danger point there. In fact, never
before in the crop history of the Can-
adian prairie West has there been
such a minimum of frost damage. An-
other favorable feature is the optim-
istic tone of thrashing reports.
TROOPS AT THE FRONT
WAIT MORE MEN SENT
A despatch -from
London says:.-
Gen. Sir Arthur Currie says that the
troops in the field want more men,
whether it be by conscription or raised
by voluntaty methods.
Sofar the morale of the Canadian
troops has been well maintained, stat-
ed the General, by the knowledge that
reinforcements are always forthcom-
ing.
• In the last action our casualties
were only one-third of the German
losses, as we had accounted for 69 of
their battalions. The enemy ••had
lately retaliated with numerous coun-
ter-attacks, but these had been suc-
cessfully met by new plans.
ANOTHER LOAN IN NOVEMBER.
A despatch from Ottawa says: The
fourth domestic war loan will be float-
ed in November and will probably be
for $100,000,000, and at a rate which
will net the subscribers nearly six
per cent., although the definite amount
and terms will not be known for some

SHIPBUILDING IN CANADA.~
$150,000,000NowBeing Spent in Steel
and Wooden Vessels.
It is estimated in ship -building cir-
cles that at least $150,000,000 is now
being spent by Canadians in ship
construction. The Dominion is wast-
ing no time in discussing whether
steel ships or wooden ships are best.
She is going ahead building both
varieties. It is figured that Canada
has sixty-five steamers under con-
struction. Thirty-five aro of steel
and thirty are wood. There are
countless sailing vessels also under
way.
For the first time in their history
British Columbia and the Maritime
Provinces are going in for the build-
ing of steel ships on a large scale.
There, was a ship -building boom in
the early eighties, but it is far out -
shadowed by the activity of the pre -
'sent day. Toronto, the other day,
saw four .large vessels launched in a
single day.
Six steel steamers are being con-
structed at Montreal. Each is of 7,-

tons. At Isle o'Orleans are four
wooden steamers, ranging from 1,500
to 2,900 tons, rapidly nearly comple-
tion. Three`steel steamers of. 3,000

upon fleet Of twenty-two allied
merchantmen steaming westbound for
American ports, was told on Thai -
day by officers and men of four of the
vessels Which' have arrived here div-

merchantmen -the biggest in the con-
voy•were sunk by German torpedoes,
but before the fight was over the e com-
bined fire of the cargo steamship de-
stroyers had destroyed three of the

The fight is regarded as the qui5k-
est and most costly battle for both
sides that has ever occurred between
submarines and armed merchantmen,
and it is believed by the men who
participated in the battle that the
Germans are not likely to take such
desperate chances again.

AN AEROPLANE UNDER FIRE.
One of the Most Spectacular Effects of
the Whole War.
As the sun sank Iower and lower in
the west, says Dr. William Boyd in
With a Field Ambulance at Ypres, the
ominous pall of smoke that hung over
the town tookron the most glorious
colors, deep orange and gold, fading
away at the margins into darkest pur-
ple.
In the meantime an aeroplane had
been coming up behind us, and con-
tinued to make for the German lines,
soon dwindling to a mere black dot

Suddenly, in a flash, in the twinkling
of an eye, a little white ball about
the size of your hand appeared
against that brilliant blue close to the
aeroplane. One moment there was
nothing except the immense blue
dome, the next, although you heard
nothing, or saw nothing coming, there
was that, little fleecy cloud hanging
high inenid-air.

Words of Wisdom and Counsel From
a Business Philosopher.
A man's mental attitude toward life;
as a whole, and toward his work 1st
the determining factor as to whetlieri
he succeeds or fails.
Enthusiasm is one of the qualities
which make for success in any under
taking, says a successful business
man. Enthusiasm is not like water,!
that can be turned on at a spigot, but;
rather it must)be spontaneous to bel
vital and effective.
What gives us enthusiasm for our;
work? The recognition of the worth -1
whileness of the work we are to per-
form; and "the worth-whileness" of
the work must wholly depend upon
the amount of service that that work
will render to our fellowman.
The true measure of success in life,
in my judgment, is in terms of service
rendered.
Some time ago I determined to get
down in written form a formula which
if followed would lead any man to the,
highest success of which he as an indt,
vidual was capable, I evolved the fol-
lowing: Constructive development of
self pluspersistent intelligent
activity
equals success.
The development, first of the physi-
cal, keeping the body clean and whole-
some, as the foundation upon which
all the rest depends. The development
been hit, but on listening intently eve of the intellectual side, of the spirit..
could hear the faint drone of the en-;ual side. The development of the hue
gine coming down from the great manitarian side,. of the sympathy with
-not for -the other fellow. Not the
constructive development of these
qualities from a few angles, but from
the spherical rounded deyelopnient
which mattes the perfect rounded
whole, An undertaking so great that
no man has yet begun to attain it.
Plus persistent. activity -not con-
sistent, for that is on the level; not in-
sistent, because that is impertinence,
but with that persistent upward, out-'
ward and onward force, with an Intel-!
lectual integrity of purpose that seess''^-
clearly the vision to be attained and,
drives steadily for it, not allowing it-�
self to be diverted into the blind al-
leys which read nowhere.
There is an old saying that,"Keep-i
Ing everlastingly at it brings results."'
This is not true, for you can set a
hen on china eggs anti she will keep
everlastingly at it, without attaining
the result. So the persistent effort
must be intelligent effort. -And when
you have all of these, of what use aro
they unless you actively apply them?
But if you have all of these and do
actively apply them, you will attain
the highest success of which you as
an individual are capable, but that
success must always bo measured in
terms of service rendered.
height. Suddenly it made an abrupt,
right-angled turn, thus indicating the
position of the hostile battery that • it
had been observing, and a moment la-
ter our big guns began to speak. All
round us were hyacinths and speed-
wells and forget-me-nots, and the red
sun was sinking in golden splendor in
the west. And still the shrapnel burst
round the aeroplane, and still those
great columns of black smoke rolled
up from burning Ypres.
To Test Diamond
The public is frequently deceived in
precious stones, leading a prominent
diamond merchant to publish the fol-
lowing test:
When a diamond is quite clean and
dry place on the surface a tiny drop
of water, and then take a needle or
pin and try to move the drop about.
If tho diamond is genuine the drop can
be rolled about intact. On the other
hand, where the gem is an imitation
the water'spreads directly it is touch-
ed with the needle point.
Test smelled diamonds with a
tumbler of water. Into this put the
suspected article and examine its ap-
pearance, A roal diamond will show
up in the water with stariting clear-
ness, and it can never be confound-'
ed with the water. , On the other
hand, the incitation Tooke indefinite and
it is sometimes difficult to see it gat all.

Strew Hat for Storms
A straw hat which can be taken out
in the fiercest storm with impunity is
a recent invention of Wm, Wilson, of
Newark, New Jersey. They is no-'
thing exceptional about the etlaw.
The top of the hat, however, can bo
turned inside out, The folded water••
proof covering that i thus exposed
can be sheave over the entire upper
surface of the hat.
Ordinarily the water'pr'oof cover is
concealed beneath a cloth lining un-
der the top. An elestie band keeps
the lining drawn up tight.
