A NEW SYSTEM
•FOR SEED GRA
• .
Plan to Aid Settlers Has
Been. Overhauled,
Canadian Bankers Will Co-
operate.
Ottawa report; The entire system
of supplying seed grain for needy set-
tlers and of collecting therefor has
this year been overhauled, and what
Is virtually a new ustem throughout,
has been put into effect. At the in-
' stance of Hon. Arthur Meighen, Min-
ister of the Interior, a conference was
held -with the Western Provincial Gov-
ernment in the eity of Regina, med as
a result arrangements have been com-
pleted for the ra:r divishin of responsi-
bilities as between the Dornithon and
Provincial authorities.
In 1914, when seed grain relief was
necessary the Government made ad-
vances directly to tae settlers,
bought the geed, shipped it to interhal
elevators, where it was cleaned and
sacited and reshipped to points of dis-
tribution. The cost of handling in
consequence added considerably to the
price of the seed. Owing to present
conditions with the prevailing high
price of seed, it wee felt that the de-
sired results could be effected more
economically and more satisfactorily
for the settler by a system that would
enable hint to purthase the seed tom-
iy. The Canadian Bankers' Associa-
tion has agreed to co-operate, and ar-
rangeencrits have been completed with
the banks whereby loans can be made
to needy settlers on unpatented Do-
minion lands. The rate of interest
on thee° advalices will not be more
than seven per cent.
A settler needing assistance must
apply to the seerotary-treasurer of the
munielpality in which he resides, or if
the district he tinotganized, to tho pro-
vincial officer of the department of
municipal- affairs. The application
having been verified by both the mun-
icipal and Dominion authorities, the
bank makethe necessary loan, tak-
ing the usual seed grain security and
a line ttpon the unpatented entry.
Payments are due on January 1, 1020:
Ats a result of the policy establish-
ed, the settler ean make hi5 own ar-
rangements in regard to the purchase
of seed, although if there is none avail.

The Plain Truth about
Shoe Prices
',MATHER is scarce and is growing scarcer. A
i large part of the available supply must be used
for soldiers' boots. Importations have prac-
tically ceased and we are forced to depend
upon the limited quantity of materials produced in
Canada.
The cost of everything which goes into a pair of shoes is
high, and is going higher. Workmen by the thousands have
joined the colors, and labor is increasingly hard to get. It is
not merely a matter of high prices, but of producing enough
good quality shoes to go around.
These conditions are beyond the control of any man, or
any group of men. They fall on all alike. No one is exempt—
neither the manufacturer, the dealer, nor the consumer.
You must pay more today for shoes of the same quality than
you did a year 4go. Next Spring, prices will be higher still.
These are hard facts. They will not yield to argument.
They cannot be glossed over. We cannot change them, much
as we would wish to do so.
But you, as a wearer of shoes, can help to relieve them if you
will exercise prudence and good judgment in purchasing. See
that you get real value for your money. Sacnd enough to get
it, but spend nothing for "frills."
See that the manufacturer's trade -mark is stamped upon.the
shoes you buy. High prices are a temptation to reduce the quality
in order to make the price seem low. But no manufacturer will
starnp his trade -mark upon a product which he is ashamed
to acknowledge. Remember this, and look for the trade -mark.
It is your best assurance of real value for your money.

The Government guarantees the
bank to the extent of principal and
five per cent interest only. Should
the bank not collect the obligation that
is all it receives. On collections ae-
tually made by the banks the Gov-
ernment pays a commission of one per

Dealing with the improvement in
the military situation, Lord Grey ap-
pealed for a contineance of the united
support of the Government. Peace was
in eight, though not in reach, and any
lack of support or any disunion among
the Allies, or Anything giving Ger-
many hope of a stalemate, would

something which had served its pure

"President Wilson's reply displays
clearness and caution, which are ab-
solutely essential,"
VICTORY FIRST.
Lord Grey reptuliated the idea that
a league ot nations was to be a
league of the Allies for the purpose
of maintaining the supremacy parti-
cularly of a group of nations, and ale°
the idea that tho league of nations
project could be utilized as a substi-
tute for the euccesetul termination ot
the war. A league of natioirs, he de-
clared, must arise out of the successful
determination of the war,
Viscount Grey agreed. wins Preeldent
Wilson that the, league cannot be
formed now. Though personally he
would have been delighted to see a
working model at the earliest possible
moment, he would not have been
afraid of such a model degenerating
into a league entirely different from
the league Prealdent Wilson was ad-
vocating, for the United States would
not remain a party to tho league, if
it were being -used except to carry out.
Its ideals,
The United States will regard it im-
possible for the Governments, while
all their energies are concentrated up-
on the prosecution of the war, to give
the time and attention necessary to
elaborate and improve upon a great
scheme of that kind, Viscount Grey.
declared. Neverthelees, the macainery
inuet be prepared in advance. The
league of nations muat be formed at
the peace conference; otherwise its
chances of ever being formed would
be jeopardized. Therefore, there was'
no time to be lost. The Governments
should prepare whatever scheme they
could through the best nitride et their
disposal, in order that things may be
ready.
Another eb:ecticn raised, according
to Lord Grey, was that there had
been similar schemes before, which
came to nothaig. J. league of nations
would perssess a motive power derived
from the experience of a war unpre-
cedentedin Ine,tory. After this experi-
ence, and its revelations ot .what fu-
ture ware wia be. the world will be
convinced that another world war will
be a crime to be avoided at all costs,
Regarding fiscal questions, Viscount
Grey imagined each nation would be
able to settle its own fiscal system,
but would be bound to apply it equally
to all other members of tho league,
That was how he understeod the prin-
ciple laid down by President. Wilson,
a principle watch must be accepted if
the league were to guarantee the peace
of the world. But if any member of
the league were to break the convene
ant of the league, an economic (boycott
by the league as a whole was goIng to
be a most powerful weapon.
Regarding disarmament, he said that
before the .war Germany had forced
the pace in armaments. • •
