There have been whispers of a "deal" between Soviet Russia and Japan, which, should it go through, would permit the Soviet to divert vital supplies, now poured into China, in the direction of Germany, It would also permit the Soviet to give its full attention to the conquest of Finland and it would force Great Britain to take •more extensive measures for the defence of her Indian empire, which could be reached through China, either by the Japanese or tho Russians—provided that Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek could be won over by the Soviet -Japanese bloc. But Chiang' has a pro -British leaning and much of his war material comes by way of the new "road from Mandalay.'' Some prophets predict that eventually the Soviet will endeavor to sweep the Japanese out of all that conquered part of China north of the Great Wall.

Pointing to the death -dealing earthquake in Turkey as an ex- ample of his successful predic- tions in the past, Thrupp said that July 20 to August 5.next year will be the "first period of risk of the worst disasters." July - August Worst Period "This occasion will compare with the disasters in Asia Minor on August 13 and September 5, 1822, when 20,000 people were killed," he said in an interview. He forecast that October 20 to November 10 will be the second period of greatest risk. Canada Not Seriously Affected The elderly Vancouver civil en- gineer, who retired from active practice in 1932, said that the "new law of gravitation" he has developed which forms the basis for his predictions, "does not pro- vide any means of forecasting the location of earthquakes." The 1940 temhlors might occur in uninhabited areas and cause no loss of life, he said. Canada's subterranean structure is solid en- ough, he added, to warrant the belief that there is no danger of a serious earthquake in the Do- minion, ONTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER NEW RIFLE CHAMPIONS From tho home of the Calgary Stampede come this year's Canad- ian, 22 Sporting Rifle Champions who. have just finished celebrating their victory over the best rifle teams in the Dominion in the larg- est rifle tournament ever held in this country.

BART WHITTAKER--a right. eous bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife Afterward. Yesterday: Iris cooks a meal all .right but she plays an acts feigning frayed nerves,- utter ex. haustien, Bart is unable to un- derstand the whims of women, Ir. is is really playing the martyr. CHAPTER V. That following morning, hart got up an hear earlier, and had breakfast all on the table before he called Iris, But she greeted his gentle peace offering with weary petulance. "Don't worry, Bart, I won't be late to work. And if I am, I can still do your housework, .cook your meals, and pay my own way as well," "Iris, this is an unreasonable, childish attitude," he pleaded humbly. "Can't you see, dear, it's for your own good that I want to make something of our present?" "Skip the' explanations, ..13art, They all add up to the same to_ tal. Men marry for better, not .,,worse. They marry' to get ahead, and they lose little time in fitting the yoke to the one they merry." "You're tired, Iris; Unreason- able. This isn't like you." "It's a little late to discover the effects of overwork, Bart!" In the days that followed, Bart was sure lie lived in a strange nightmare front which he must surely awaken sometime. He got up early each Morning, and while the soft June morning awoke and the birds sang noisy chorus out- side the open windows, prepared their simple breakfast. He followed the little budget book faithfully, despite the sa:- castie comments of Iris, He be- lieved in the wisdom of the little oracle, and he had a stubborn, un- shakable faith in figures once proved, It was Iris who scornfully sur- veyed the top -milk in the little blue pitcher before measuring. out the cream for her coffee. "Top_milk from one quart of milk," she mimicked sarcastically, "ample for two persons, break- fast, cream in coffee, and cereal, Uso milk to prepare dessert for ,, dinner." "You Married To. Save" "It saves' 20' ,cents u day on cream alone,: Iris," That•was. Bart, defensive, a trifle. annoyed. "That's •$1.40.a'-week—almost $78,a year.

"There's your cream, Iris; 1' haven't taken anything away from our table," And he did not add that he was $18 ahead, for that . first week alone.

I'm afraid I misunderstood you when you said we'd manage to get along by pooling our salaries and living on a budget!" "You 'were thinking of saving money even then, Bart, weren't you? You married to save the ex- pense of living in a restaurant! You married to better yourself, not because you loved ine." "It semis to nee if you loved nie, Iris, you'd want to help me get ahead," - "Well, I ant! ;What more can you expect?" "You might take it with a little sporting fairness, instead of . act- ing like a persecuted martyr. Oth- er women cook and keep house and seem to like it." "Other women do not work eight hours a day in an office, Bart Whittaker." "Ellen Kent does," "Ellen's a miser. She hates to spend money on a wave, even." "All right, Ellen's a miser, and I'm ono too, I suppose, by the same yardstick. But I'm still look_ ing after my own expenses and seeing that I get my money's worth on the money I earn and spend, I'm sorry if you feel badly over it, but it happens to be my affair." Can't Make Her See It And in spite of his expinnntions and argument, Bart remained on the outside edge. He could not make Iris see .the right of his be- lief in the budget book, He could not make her believe an estate •wsa built with dines, adding up to dollars, to hundreds, thousands, and finally to snug security, There was today, there was a pay check for each of them each week, and they weren't growing any young- er: There were arguments aplenty, those weeks (1u►•ii g which Bart tried to work out some sort of stable adjustment to their finan- cial affairs, Always beginning with petty trifles, they ended up invariably with mountainous is- sues, with old, forgotten hurts and disappointments dragged in, and an' ever -widening gulf between them as the summer settled in for .a long, hot run and their nerves wore thin with disappoint- ment and defeat. Bart wanted Iris to take out some insurance, An endowetent life insurance policy was a good way for women to protect them- selves, and it was a thrifty plan to get ahead. "Life insurance benefits only the survivor, Bart!" . "Endowment insurance pays you. $2000 in 15 yclrs, , Iris, You could pay down a small house with that 'much ,money, andhave the rent' to invest' iii more insurance if you wanted to." , ."I can't afford tory further 'ex_ pcnse 'right now, Bart." "Gcod heavens, what do you do with your money, Iris? You're making $25 a week, and you haven't a thing to buy." Her long, violet: eyes flicked hint curiously and ho felt a faint • twilige of. uneasiness. "Is it so astonishing that I lived my life, earned honey and.need- ed it before I married you, Bart?" He flushed in quick irritation, but did not back down. "All right then, Iris, what hap- pens to the moue/ you used to spend on food and rent?" "When you bring; hone your books from the shop, Bart, and explain the spending of every (lime you earn, 1'11 do the same for you," The Soap•Shaker That was 1he week Bart bought the soap -shaker in the 10 -cent store, Ito had, he told Iris, no- ticed they used quite a lot of soap flukes in the kitchen, and back home his mother had always sav- ed the thin wafers of soap left over and used them in the soap_ shaker, It saved quite a bit. "Use toilet soap to wash dishes, Bart?" Iris challenged _ incredu- lously, QUICKLY dwtttl,1011 gtkkltlltlkultdbt • tri NUE tttlltillf tseltitkIeltleibt >Ilt BON, ■1 druDel,l, proves 11.1 money beck "Why . not, Iris? If it's fit to wash your hands with, what's wrong with 'doing dishes with the left -over slivers?" There was a similar argument over the tin ffannister set Bart brought home from the shop. In them, he insisted, they could keep left -over toast for puddings, for crumbs and stuffing. They could keep cracker crumbs in one, brok- en cookie bits in another. "We have no puddings, Bart; you know I do not like made dish- es, And stuffing is for turkey or chicken, and it's. too monotonous for only two to try to eat a while chicken. or turkey. Broilers are better," "In the budget book it tells how to make swell desserts out of left -over cake, cookies or bread, Iris.„.11My mother used to, and they were slick," Iris forbore comment on the culinary accomplishments of the senior Mrs, Whittaker, There was trouble enough without quarreling over the ways of a woman dead over 15 years, "Eighty-nine cents is a lot to spend on four tin cans we'll prob., ably never use, Bart. Seems to me your budget is crazy." At the end of the week there were two pieces of toast, and two dried rolls' in the biggest canis- ter. And Bart proposed to' make a chocolate bread pudding out of Them, "It takes only two pieces of bread, Iris." . • - "Ugh, chocolate bread pudding. Horrid old.flattening stuff, Tastes like boiled Eskimo boot, Besides, I bought raspberries, Bart," .1 "We'll have the berries , for breakfast, Iris. And I like choco- late bread pudding," .They had the pudding, and Iris refused to eat her dish of rasp- berries for breakfast. "I'll have mine at dinner, Bart, I bought them for that," Baffled, he watched her store t them• in the refrigerator. Unrea- soningly annoyed, he decided Iris was just contrary. She just wouldn't listen to reason or logic, It was funny in a way. Hearing all those jokes all these years about the little woman, Now, find. ing they weren't funny at all, They were all too bitterly true, Too real.

Reeve Brown stated the shortage of water this year had been great and the condition is getting worse. "Hospitalization of indigents Is certainly a headache .for urban mun- icipalities," 'declared Reeve J. II. Scott of Seatorth, during a discussion launched by Reeve Watson, of Stan• ley who read a lint of the amounts paid by the county for each munici- pality, which does not include the share paid by the municipality. Mr. Watson urged that reeves "t'ghten up"; some municipalities, he said, are being penalized to pay the large a- mounts in urban centres such a►+ Godoriah and Seaforth.

CLAIMS HIS MESSIAHSHIP Matthew 21: 1.16. GOLDEN TEXT.—Behold, thy King cometh unto thee. Matt. 21:5. In this lesson the perfect char- acter of the Lord Jesus is revealed to us afresh — his perfect know- ledge, his infinite tenderness, his holy wrath against unholy thing:-, his compassion for the blind and the lame, his perfect calmness in the midst of forces furiously bent upon destroying him. Matt, 21: 1. And when they drew nigh unto Jerusualem, Our Lord has spent Saturday and Sat- urday evening in the home of Nary, Martha and Lazarus, in the village of Bethany, just over the top of the Mount of Olives. Now comes Christ's last visit to Jerus- alem in the beginning of the week which will terminate in his cruci- fixion. And camp unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, Then Jesus sent two disciples, 2. saying unto then, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway' ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose them, and bring them unto me. 3. And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them: and straightway he will send them. We are free to suppose that our Lord has already spoken to the owner of the colt when he sent the two disciples, for nothing in the narrative con- tradicts this. The owner of the ass seems to have known Jesus, and perhaps wa.9 a disciple. Riding Upon An Ass 4, Now this is come to pass, that it might he fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, say_ ing, 5. Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh un- to thee, Meek, ,and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. This prophecy is found in Zech. 9: 9, Two things were in- tended by the coming of Jesus to Jerusalem in this way. The first was that of official kingly entry, manifestation of his Kingship to the crowds of Jerusalem. And yet, secondly, Jesus went in this way to exhibit not merely his kingliness, hut his meekness. (That the King Messiah should come to Zion rid- ing on an ass meant, for the Jew- ish people, that he was to have a kingdom not of this world), The Triumphal Entry 6, And the disciples went, and did oven as Jesus appointed them. 'And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. 8, And the most part of the multitude spread their garments In the way; and athero cut branches from the trees, end spread them in the way. John's account of this event (12: 13) in- forms us that the branches were from palm -trees, The palm, in hose days, was regarded as the bol of victory and triumph, tga br;int4Ie; IA Ar►1, symbolized Christ's triumph and the people's joy, 9, And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that com- eth in the name of the rord. 10, And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 11. And the mutitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee, The attention of the whole city of Jerusalem was attracted to the coming of Jesus. For at least an hour the people recognized hint for what he was. The Temple Cleansed Again 12. And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money -changers, and the cents of them that sold the doves. This took place in the large outer court of the temple, separated from the shrine by a stone par- apet. (The doves were the sacri- fice offering of the poor,) 13.

POP—Singular of robbers, The priests, who ought' to have been the holiest men in all Israel, were in the very temple •dedicated to God robbing people who came, with spiritual burdens, sending then away pcorer than before, and disgusted with the whole business, .14, And, the blind ural the Rune carne to hint in the temple; and he healed them, 15. Ilut•when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he slid, and the children that were crying in the temple, and raying, Hos- anna to the son of David;, they were moved with indignation, The hierarchical party, who had mostly ignored Jesus hitherto, now well: for his destruction, their interests being threatened by this temple, reforming zeal, The chief priests had a monopoly of these sales in the temple, and drew enormous profits "f:om ,them, 1G, And said unto him, 'Tensest thou what these . aro saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babe's and suck- lings thou has perfect praise? These children were no doubt .some who had heard the shouts at the triumphal entry, and at the sight of Jesus 'in the temple began to sing out what they had heard, FARM.. COLUMN PASTEURIZING WHEY Iteportance of pasteurizing in cheese -making was stressed by Frank Vern, secretary -treasurer of the Dairymen's -Association of Western Ontario, in an address to delegates attending the associa- tion's 73rd annual convention. Eighty-five percent of the 79 fa.cteries operating in Western On- tario are now pasteurizing whey, said Mr. Hera, also chief provin- cial dairy instructor for the terri- tory. "Pasteurizing is an important point in preventing fruity amid off - flavor cheese," said Mr, Heyns, "It has been noticed each year that where, even for a short Pe- riod, the whey which is to be re- turned to the milk cans, was ne- glected to be pasteurized, objec- tionable flavors were soon notic- ed in the cheese." COOKED POTATOES FOR HOGS A considerable portion of the potato crop is unsuitable for seed or table stock, Various methods of utilizing the cull potatoes have been suggested, and one nietl►od is to feed the potatoes to live stock. Potatoes may be fed to practically all kinds of live stock, but apparently they have their greatest feed value when cooked and fed to hogs, states Leonard Griesbach, Assistant, Dominion Experimental Farnt, Fredericton, N.L. It has been demonstrated by many feeding trials at various in. stitutions that four pounds of boiled or steamed potatoes will re- place approximately one pound of ground barley, when fed in a bal. ancetl ration to hogs.

Dobson, General Manager, Reveals Assets of Bank ' • Highest in History -- Continued Progress Shown — Foreign . Exchange Control Working Smoothly A striking comparison between the Canada of 1914 and to -day with particular reference to the important economic contribution this country can mako to tho allied cause were features of the address given by Morris W. Wilson, Presi- dent and Managing Director, at the Seventy-first Annual "Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada. "Canada," he said, "is in a posi-' •tion to contribute assistance to the cause in truly impressive propor- tions, to ,an extent, 'in fact, that • may decisively turn the balance. if the• other contending forces are anything like equal." - PROGRESS SiNCE 1914 Since 1914 Canada's 'economic structure•had been virtually trans. formed, 'stated Mr. Wilsbn, from one based;<nainlyl•on agricultureto ono of great diversification in which manufacturing played a leading role.~. He predictedthis trend would ;undoubtedly' receive an even greater .stimulus if the present conflict ie prolonged. "In our past crop, yields were again abundant, the total wheat crop for all Canada falling but little below half a billion bushels. Thus the Second World War finds us in a unique position to continue • at the 'Granary of the .F4mpire,' 'While' Canada's manufacturing industry" layed a' noteWorthy role in the production of.munitions dur- ing the lallit -war, should 'the need arise,' we shall be:able-to outstrip greatly anything we were able to • do at that time. "The iron and steel industry, which under war -time stimulus • reached a peak of ~,million tons of pig iron annually in 1918, has dou- bled its potential output Aircraft manufacturing has -as'sun;<ed impor. • tont proportions, and the .ground- ' work has been laid 'for rapid • ex- pansion. MINERA4S VITAL IN WAR - "War power to -day depends lar- gely` on minerals, particularly metals. The expansion of tlje Can- Adian output 'of such products ,since 1914 has been spectacular. In 1914 'Canada produced 773,000 %fine ounces of gold. In 1939. pro- duction was nearly seven times as '.much as in 1914. Nickel increased ;drom a production of 46% million pounds in 1914 to 227 million, pounds In 1039, Copper production has increased•eight-fold during the past 26 years. Lead output is elev- en times as great, 2inc production has gone up froni 22 million to 881 million pounds. The 'output of al- uminium is eleven times as great,. and when plant extensions now un- der way are completed, production will be increased' to ' nearly four- teen times' what it was in 1914." "To -day •Canada is a very "dif- ferent nation from the young un- seasoned country that went into the last war. WAR AND CANADIAN ECONOMY "It seems.to me quito;clear that we have facing us the prospect of maximum, employment. Unless our enemies eollapso through deteriora- tion of morale before their: econ- omic- ,and 'military resources are exhausted, the decision in the pres- ent conflict 'will depend largely upon -economic staying power." "Never: before in our history has it been so. iMportant that •every one of usshould practice thrift and industry.,lf the time comes when- • unemployment is no longer a prob- lem, we may find ourselves coin- pelled to curtail luxury and other non-essential industries :to -make way for more essential production. Furthermore, more, 'and other ex- penditures, public or private,: not directly! lelated to winning ..the war,,...nejr,-essential ,to keeping our • edtfnomic Machine functioning ef- ficiently, should bo definitely dis- couraged. It is to bo hoped that un- der these .circumstances, labour - and wage: disputes*: }will- be- com- - pletely avoided. Those who aro fortunate enough to remain at • their'regular employment in Can- ada must not exploit the situation'" for their own ends. Capital. must also be 'willing to 'Contribute its full share. Some. industries, of course, will bo' adversely affected ' by tho war, but the majority will undoubtedly experience a great stimulus. The benefits therefrom must not; be reamed by. stockhold- era except to; a normal degree.:The Government • had. devised a sound system of taxing excess profits, but It is also essential that any at- tempt at profiteering should be ruthlessly suppressed." In view of the strides which had been made since 1914, Mr. Wilson believed that Canada, "can do per- haps';more than any, other; part of • Use `Alarm Clock' 'To Release 'Chute • Ths Russian air force isadopt, Ing an "ainrm clock" rekiae for parachutes, Honors have been ,con - fared on three brothers who in- vented it. • • the Empire or ,any other country with the single. exception of the United States." BUY ALLIED GOODS '` • Mr. Wilson emphasized particu- larly the need for buying a • maxi- mum amount of goods from Great Britain:and France, "In this way," he said, "funds will be made avail- able for the purchase of Wheat and • war supplies in Canada, leaving the gold.and foreign exchange re- serves of •Great Britain for use as a last resort. - . Everything possible must be done to stimulate Canada's'exporte' with a view to commanding pur- chasing power abroad. .4.'We are 4n an , absolutely unique •position : to 'supply goods to Great` t3ritain and Franco; This must necessarily lead to business activity such as we have not previously known, . TOURIST TRADE "It seems to me also that the war affords Canada a unique op- portunity •to develop further its tourist trade. It therefore behooves our governing bodies to bring the unquestioned attractions of Canada as prominently as possible to the attention of prospective :visitors from the United States. In normal years, tourists spend as much as $250/300, million in Canada. This trade is thus an important factor in our international balance of payments. As a•meens of strength- ening our economy and providing foreign exchange, our efforts to attract tourists should be redoub- led." r' BUSINESS PROSPECTS , -Mr. Wilson'i'oported-that in spite of disturbing conditions business during 1939 was reasonably good and 'maintained a level well above that of 1998. . • ' "I£ for any reason.peace_.should come within a comparatively short time, -we would soon -revert •with- out difficulty to the not unsatisfac- tory conditions which proVailed:be- •fore the outbreak. of •hostilitie9., If the war should' continuo for a• pro- tracted period -and this is the bas- is on which our plans must of nec- essity bo made ---I think we shall have a period of unusual industrial activity. But as we prosecute the war, we must not lose sight cif the readjustments.,, whish, will 'fellow the "return of .peace. If .our, pre- cautions•are well-planned and ade- quate, the hesitation in our pro- gress will not be .great,".. GENEiRAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS Mr. S. G, Dobson, General.Man- ager; in r'eviiewi)g the Bank's bal- ance sheet remarxed that the gen- eral progress 'of the bank during the year reflected an uptui~n in :business which began in tlie Sum- mer and which under the .stimulus. of war orders became quite hail% in the Fall of the year; The • bal- ance sheet was particularly note- worthy, he said,' in that the totals shown under cash assets, securities, total assets and deposits were at the .highest figures recorded in the history of the bank. Total assets now standing at $1,01.4,708,3.13 were the highest on record, this being the second occasion in the bank's history on • which they had crossed the billion ,dollar mark. Mr. Dobson reported it greater demand for Commercial loans in Canada and that the total under this heading was now $212,627,- 311, an increase of $14,424,403. Profits' for the year showed a Moderate increase but, taxes now borne by .banks had become a real burden.

The physician, alarmed by the appear- ance of the wound,' had the dog caught and examined. The dog had rabies. As it was too late to give the pian a serum, the doctor told ''hint he would have to die of liy- dophobia.

Where we don't have.to lay male our manhood and womanhood at the beck of any ope pian or set of inon. - • A land where, any man in the nation may take the public platformand era,' !ciao the Govennment of the day. I tun afraid. Mr. Chairman, -that we to- day, living In Canada;.de,not realize how much there le contained in that one little word 'liberty'. We are so accustomed to having all our wants and wishes gratified that we don't know what It is to bo denied our liberty in the ,slightest degreo.1 But If wo were over in ,Belgium in 1914 and Poland' at the present time we would know something of What it meant to be deprived of our liberty. Just let us stop and think for a me- ment, suppose the same conditions were to prevail in Canada as are pre - 'veiling in these countries at the pros, • opt time. You all know abet has taken place over there and lur,v that Ger- many has gone into those countries with her cruel, murdering, powerful armies and killed all the pride and flower of the nations and taken pos- session of the country and turned the people out of Cher homes and made hewers of wood and drawers of water of them. And that is just what Ger- many would do' with •usenly tor one thing, and there is only one thing that prevents Germany from doing with Canada as she has done with those small nations in Europe, and that is Britain and Britain's Amies and her great and powerful Navy. Ilefore Germany can touch Canada, she must over the dead body of Great Britain'e Armies, That cannot be done very eaeily. Oh how glad wo are to be under the protecting wings of the great British Nation with. a great fleet and her brave eakliers, all standing for the right and fighting for the freedom and the liberty of the whole world. We are proud of the great British nation today, more so than wo ever were before. And why are wo proud of Britain today? Because of what she is doing for us. And. for the whole World, She stands like a great rock in a weary world today. 'She has buckled on her amour and gone forth to fight the battles of the weak against a strong and mighty foe. What would .become of us if Britain was beaten in this great conflict. It Germany became mistress of the seas. On the 004) hand you have liberty and freedom, a Government of . the people, by the people and tor the people. And on the other hand what have You got? A government of brute force. A state of things where might is right, where the people aro sub- eervant to the state, and where they are like dumb driven cattle, driven by the state. The two ideale are as dKferent as the mk1,-day sun, compared with the darkest midnight. 'Friends, if there is one thing more titan another. it is just this: Canada must stand back to back with Britain and France in this great conflict for whether we realize it or not, your destiny and mine are being fought out on the sand dunes and mountain slopes of Franco and Germany today. • Tho following article was copied out of one of the Toronto Dailies dur- ing the War of 19I4-18, and again fits in splendidly here: Oh Britain, Mother Britain From far across the Sea, To us thy sons what sounds aro born Upon the wintry breeze, It is the hum and tramp of gathering hosts From far and near they come, The clarion of the trumpet call Tho throbbing ot the drum.
