—The average annual wheat
crop of the I'nited States is 450,-
000,000 bushels, of which .100,000,-
000 bushels are required for home
consumption. When the yield is
greater, there aro additional ex-
ports.
—It looks as though the Morgan
shipping combine was to have a
formidable rival. The C. P. R.
has offered to establish and work
a fast passenger freight service be-
tween Liverpool and Halifax in the
winter and Liverpool and Quebec
in the summer, with four twenty -
knot and ten or eleven fifteen -knot
steamersubsidys(£260 000). If the C ask a verlarge
R. undertakes the service we ex-
pect to see the same energy and en-
terprise manifested that have made
the C. P. R. one of the best rail-
ways in America, At the same
time it should not be necessary to
bonus or subsidize any enterprise
of the kind. If it is necessary, it
will pay. If it does not pay, or is
not a necessity, the subsidy might
as well be saved.
course of construction are of little
more than local value. At St. John
and Halifax grain elevators were
erected at the expense of the gov-
ernment, to be used by the Iuter-
colonial Railway, As everybody
]snows, Hon. Mr. Blair made a
mess of the grain carrying business,
losing thousands of dollars in dis-
covering that he could not compete
with other lines. The St. John
and Halifax elevators in conse-
quence are lying idle, and the
country has $500,000 tied up in a
useless way. Many similar hi -
instances can be cited, and the ag-
gregate waste of money is enor-
mous. What the country wants is
a policy in which system shall play
at least a minor part. The govern-
ment is spending over $65,000,000
per annum at present, yet it is im-
possible to discover one great work
that is being carried on.
Come To Us Last, But If
TIME IS MONE
Come to Us First.
Low prices are better than arguments; our
prices do their own talking ; they appeal with
stronger force to the economical buyer than Loud
talk. This week we are placing in stock something
very special in Iron Beds. These goods were two
months late in. arriving, but our waiting has made
the discount big, and prices will surprise you. Just
fancy—a good. strong Iron Bed, with considerable
brass, for only $4.50 ; others more Brassy, at $5.00,
$6.50, $8, $10, $12, $14, and a few lines at $17.00—
fit for a palace.

—Prof. Reynolds, of the Ontario
Agricultural College, assigns as a
reason for the greater destruction
of barns by lightning in recent
years, the disappearance of forests.
Trees, he says, are conductors of
lightning. Whore there are many
of them they carry the electrical
energy in small currents to the
earth, and thus prevent damage.
That is why •it is that you so often
find single trees destroyed while
there is no appearance of damage
in a forest. Where there are
many trees together, currents pass
through a number of them, in small
volume, to the ground,whilo where
one stands alone it may receive a
current sufficient to cause its des-
truction. Trees, according to this
theory, are the best protection
against lightning, but they should
not be too close to the house.
WHAT THE FARMER LOSES.
We are told by the Liberal gov-
ernment that it 19 an impossibility
to protect the farmer, but no great-
er fallacy has ever been propounded
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his fol-
lowers, despite the fact that the
past quarter of a century is strewn
by the remains of iniquitous poli-
cies, the conception of a weary
army of power seekers. The far-
mer can be protected in Canada
quite as effectively as in the United
States. There they enjoy their
home market to the fullest extent.
The Conservatives have advocated
the encouragement of Canadian ag-
riculturists and the exclusion of
the $15,000,000 worth of the pro-
ducts of the farm that annually
find their way into the home mar-
kets from. the United States. Last
year we bought from American
farmers :—

—The Lancet has unearthed the
curious fact that nearly all the im-
portant events in the life of His
Majesty King Edward VII. have
happened on a Tuesday. He was
born, baptized, and married on a
Tuesday ; on a Tuesday he was ap-
pointed a member of the Privy
Council; on a Tuesday it was defi-
nitely ascertained that he had con-
tracted typhoid fever, and it was
on a Tuesday he attended a public
thanksgiving service for his recov-
ery. On a Tuesday he succeeded
to the throne ; on a Tuesday the
Royal Standard was first hoisted at
Marlborough House, and on a
Tuesday His Majesty underwent
an operation for perityphlitis. Stu-
dents of "the occult" may be able
to deduce something from this do-
minance of the day dedicated to
the god of war in the life of the
King, but without any such deduc-
tion the series of coincidences is a
very remarkable one.

BRAIN -FOOD NONSENSE.
Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent auth-
orities, They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, and other muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your
food may be, its nutriment is destroy-
ed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You

lar doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil-
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you feel
bttoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at J. E. Davis'.

Mr. 0. Smith, Commissioner of
Immigration, estimates the number
of immigrants to the North West
during the present calendar year at
from 70,000 to 75,000, and he be-
lieves the number will increase
from year to year till it may reach
a maximum of 250,000. The view
is confidently entertained that the
census of 1911, will show from 1,-
250,000 to 1,500,000 people in the
West, and the close of the century
50,000,000 people, all told, in Can-
ada. With regard to the develop-
ment of the West from a moral
and intellectual standpoint, the
Globe's correspondent takes a most
hopeful view. He notes the three
following new elements of progress
in the . rapid settlement of the
country :-
1. American capitalists seeking
an outlet for surplus funds former-
ly used in land operations at home
have invested very largely in Cana-
dian lands, and will advertise them
all over the Union.
2. The American pioneers and
frontiersmen, who have led the
movement of settlement in their
own country, from Iowa to Minne-
sota, and from Minnesota to the
Dakotas, have reached the limit to
the good land in their own terri-
tory, and are coming to Canada in
thousands. The reports they are
sending back will for many years
to come result in increasing immi-
gration from the United States, for
the land they are settling upon is
admittedly better than that of any
of the States west of Iowa.
3. The rush of European immi-
gration into the United States,
which was begun when there were
vast tracts of free land there, still
continues, and cannot be stopped
speedily. Many years must elapse
before it becomes generally known
to European agriculturists emigrat-
ing to America that there is no
longer room in the Western States.
A large part of these belated land -
seekers will cross the border into
Canada, and find homes with us.
(Weekly Sun.)
The new constitution of the State
of Virginia that went into effect on
the tenth of this month, contains a
Novision that no State legislator or
other official may have a railway
pass. The value of a:pdss is shown
by the fact that before the consti-
tution came into force a number of
persons holding State offices resign-
ed in order that they might retain
their passes.
One obstacle in the way of deal-
ing with the pass question in Can-
ada arises from the fact that all
members of Parliament receive a
pass, and if they abolished passes
they would deprive themselves of a
substantial gift. In the United
States, on the other hand, the sub-
ject can be effectively dealt with
by the members of the constitu-
tional conventions, which are held
from time to time in all the States.
The members of a constitutional
convention are elected for the pur-
pose of revising the constitution
only ; comparatively few of them
are members of the Legislature,
and their terms of office expire
when their work is done. They
are thus free to deal with the pass
evil with an eye single to the pub-
lic interests. The fact that greater
progress in suppressing passes has
been. made in the United. States
than in Canada is largely due to
the different mode of dealing with
tho question there.

The close student of Dominion
politics is quickly convinced of the
fact, that there is a decided lack of
system prevailing at Ottawa in all
of the great money spending de-
partments. Take for instance the
public works that are being carried
out from one end of Canada to the
other, and it is impossible to find
any two connecting links. A thou-
sand dollars here and a half a mill-
ion there will be found among the
items at the end of each year, but
in many cases the money is simply
thrown away. The question of
transportation bas been touched on
the very outside edge, and money
is being spent in different places,
