Cutting of: all kinds of grain has been pretty well completed in Western On- tario, with the exception of the most northerly part. Threshing has been, 'general in this district, a great deal of wheat and barley having been hauled to machines from the field. (Where winter injury was not; too se- vere wheat has turned out well, rang- ing from 20 to 45 bushels per acre. In some districts rust is causing ••serious injury to late, crop. Owing to the very rank growth of straw and the continued wet weather many fields of spring grain are so badly down and tangled that barvesting is very'' diffi- cult. "Pastures are in good condition and all kinds of live stock are doing well. The second crop of alfalfa is excellent. and farmers are hoping to experience more favorable weather to balance the losses in the first cutting. Considerable plowing has been done for wheat, but wet weather has inter- fered with cultivation and many early plowed. and summer fallow fields are quite weedy, and if dry weather con- ditions continue will be difficult to work. The picking of peaches has com- menced in the Niagara district, and It is expected that the harvesting of early tobacco will soon be started in Essex.

British Company Rumored In Marken for Assets of "Industrial Alcohol" Montreal;—Accompanying the recent advance in the shares of Canadian Industrial Alcohol were rumors sug- gesting that an attractive offer had beenmade for the purchase of the company by British distillery inter- ests. Officials of the company would not confirm this report. Earnings, however, are understood to be run- ning at a high level, and in some• quarters there continues a disposition tolook for an increased dividend rate or some special disbursement before the end of the year. It is reported that Hollinger's aver- age for July was 4,600 tons of $5.40 ore daily. No official statement has yet been made, If this report is' cor- rect July was ahead of June on grade and about the same on tonnage. Con- siderable low-grade material is being drawn from the "summer stopes." A. report from the north states that the Coniagus if negotiating for control of the Trout ,Creek property, the scene. of the recent sensational gold discov- ery. Samples of gold from the show- ing have been most spectacular and the formation and geology is said to be similar to the producing section of the 'Kirkland Lake camp. Canadian Charter Granted to British Film Co.

Canada and the Empire Toronto Saturday Night: (In an editorial, the Post of Cairns, Queens- laud, rebukes Canada for being selfish- ly indifferent to the importance of the Suez Canal to the Empire and 'especi ally to Australia.) Canada has of late gotten herself in wrong in more quar- ters than one and seems to have quite innocently managed "to become misunderstood on the matter of Egyp- tian policy.. On his visit to this country last year Hon. Stanley Bruce privately made it clear to many public men how deeply his Commonwealth was concernecl in the maintenance of a firm Egyptian policy which would assure security to the Suez trade route- The misapprehension with re- gard to Canadian sentiment on this question is probably due to the cease- less and inconsequential chatter about our "status" which does not in any degree represent intelligent opinion in this country.

The educational value of travel in broadening the outlook has long been appreciated by leaders ot opinion in the British Isles and in America. The Empire free travel and scholarship scheme, organized by a group of British newspapers, in co-operation with steamship and railway interests in Canada, must have served greatly to stimulate the interest of many young fritishers in the nearest Do- minion. The possibility of extending the scheme to provide annual tours to other parts sof the British Common wealth—South Africa, Australia and New Zealand—has been mooted - Whether the "young ambassadors" are led to return to the countries they visit, to melte homes for themselves, or to be .satisfied with opportueit`ies for service in the British homeland, the benefit of such educational tours in promoting unity within the Bedell Commonwealth is apparent.-1('Obeus- tian Science Monitor Editorial,) 1 Eloping Bride—"Here's a telegtaxa BETTER LATE THAN NEVER Abel: The wind is rising; we must hug the shore.

Many as we afterward saw, I never quite got used to the sight, or lost the thrill of watching them scurry and stop to browse and flicker on again in panic haste. But the frosty morning of that dray will never be forgotten for sheer ela- tion. We started an hour before the first peep of dawn in the chill, and when we got clear of the little gate - less walled town there was a quarter moon and a heaven full of stars. Then from every side carne the clucking and subdued quacking of fat ducks and the whistle of 'Cvings as our cart's rumbl- ing 'put them up from the -roadside ditches. But the geese! The world was peo- pled with geese, bugling and calling only fifty' feet over our heads and gabbling as they grazed in the stubble. As it slowly lightened enormous wedges of them came in sight from every side; all talking and hallooing and giving advice to the leaders as they flew. In the gray of early dawn they shone ghostly white from below. I never knew before how many ca- dences and tones and modulations the goose language holds. They talk and gruanble end murmur and they fairly shout aloud till one fancies them a crowd of men and women fitted with wings far a long journey.• .All this time phalanxes of enor- mous cranes were flapping over or alighting to' graze. First an ordered company of them would flap unevenly and then suddenly fall into step, as it were, in perfect unison for a minute; then, setting their wings motionles'st would sail like gigantic platters till they reached the ground where they turned into high question -marks as big as three -quarters -grown sheep. There were thumping geese as heavy Its a swan, .and when the sun came up, steelier Lania geese diessed in" tawny red. robes. There was a marsh on either side of the road with plowed land beyond. The ducks fell to the marsh and the geese to the furrows and the grazing. Then as Classified Advertisements Ii, T, DIS- TANCL; mover`s of Canada. Largest speedy padded .-Vans.

Tiny Mandate in Pacific Prospers Australia Is Largest Customer for Phosphates From Small Island of Nauru Canberra, Aust.—Steady progress Is -- being made with the development of the phosphate business on Nauru Is- land in the Pacific under the direction of the British Phosphate Commission which is administering this former German possession under a mandate from the League of Nations. The .countries represented on the commis- sion are the United Kingdom, Aus- tralia and New Zealand, and under the terms of the mandate the United Kingdom and Australia are each en- titled to 42 per cent. of the output of the island and New Zealand to 16 per cent, Zt Australia and New ain I'd, How- ever, have proved to be far the largect customers in respect to the demand for phosphates and, according to the commissioners' report, Australia dur- ing 1927 bought 69.76 per cent. of the output, New Zealand 24.97 per cent. and other countries 5.27 per cent. The total output of the island for the year was 393,092 tons, of which the revenue amounted to £611,653, The History of the adieu? dates leak to 1888, when the German G:avernnitiit granted to a German company the ex - elusive right to exploit the deposits.
