-A. E. Tripp, M.P, for Ottawa,
during his trip West, concluded that
Combines were increasing prices and
remarked :-"It seems to me that the
Dominion government must deal with
the question of combines, particularly
as they affect the western provinces,
and deal with it very soon."
-Uncle Sam acted very shabbily
about that Panama canal business,
but already it has proved a boomer-
ang. Contracts for ships given to
American shipbuilding firms, amount-
ing to eleven million dollars, have
been cancelled as a result of the action
on the Canal toll regulations.

-The Peterboro Review remarks
that during the year ending March
31st last, 2,239,814 pounds of butter
were imported from New Zealand into
Canada, and 920,318 pounds from the
United States. It would seem that
what the Dominion needs is not
"wider markets" for its butter, but
more butter for its own market.

-Those who have carefully ex-
amined the statistics of Ontario, point
out the great decrease of the rural
population. Dr, P. H. Bryce claims
that in the Iast ten years, the rural
communities should have increased
their population by 270,000, but in-
stead of that, there has been a de-
crease of 50,000. The trend has been
towards the cities, aside from the
exodus westward.
***
-Mrs. McGhee of Prince Edward
Island, who was sentenced to die
October 10, for the poisoning of her
five children with sulphur and phos-
phorus off matches will not be hung
on that date as her punishment has
been changed to imprisonment for
life. One would have thought that
any mother who would commit such
au awful crime is insane, but experts
pronounce her perfectly responsible.
* * *
-Paisley and Wiarton are said to
be without lawyers, and in a number
of other towns, legal men are not
being overworked. Is the inilieniunt
approaching, or is another phase of
the trend of business to the cities?
Lots of people think they can't get
anything good and cheap unless they
go to a departmental store for it. The
cities are responsible for much of the
loss of rural population and also con-
siderable of the retail business of the
villages and towns.
* * *
-Ontario's finances are reported
to be in good condition. The Pro-
vincial Treasurer, Col, Matheson ex-
pects that the revenue in almost every
branch will exceed the estimates, Al-
though Ontario' fiscal year does not
end till October 31st, many items of
revenue have already exceeded the
estimate. The succession dues are
already ahead of the $700,000 antici-
pated. Ontario's credit in London,
ranks the highest among the Canadian
provinces, except British Columbia,
which is really not in the market at
present.
* * *
-Of all elections, the Presidential
election in the United States has them
all beaten, for uncertainty in results.
As The Advance pointed out some
weeks ago, neither of the three candi-
dates, Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt may
be elected, for under certain condi;
tions of the vote, the position may go
to the Vice -President of the present
term -Sherman. Besides, there is an
additional element of uncertainty, in
this election that has not heretofore
been present, and that is that since
the last Presidential contest several of
the States have adopted Woman Suf-
frage, These States are -California.
Idaho, Utah, Washington, and Wy-
oming. It is estimated that nearly
or quite one million women will vote
at the coming election, and this vote
is sure to have some influence in de-
termining the result.

The railwaye, at the instance of the
Ministry, have made greater prepara-
tions than ever before to cope with
the western crop situation. They will
enter upon the gigantic task of mov
lug the wheat with flue hundred ad-
ditional locomotives and no fewer
than twenty thousand more cars,
P,oadbeds have been improved, ter-
minals enlarged and other increased
facilities provided. Whatever the
railways can do toward the provision
of adequate facilities they have been
'urgedto do,and,
apparently have
been doing, though on account of the
wet weather, the President of the
0, P. B, fears great delay in trans.
/imitation will be caused. To facili4
tate the handling of grain, the ehar.
banks r
ed are err~tti t

ly advised each school to organi

then led a Round Table Conferenc
on the work, discussing what the S
it is, the S. S.,building, furniture an

to be a very useful adjunct to S, S
work. He touched very briefly o
the importance of keeping the schoo

Teacher Training Classes, These ma
be successfully conducted even i
rural schools. The type of teachin
was another of his headings, discuss
ing what should be the qualification

ed were -tact, punctuality and regu
laxity in attendance, previous prepare
tions, most essential that the teacher
be ehristian. Great need is to awaken
in the scholar a need. 'of the Divine
and to satisfy that soul -hunger.
The evening session of the Sunday
School convention met at 7.30, Rev.
W. J. Hibbert presiding. The meet-
ing opened with a service led by the
excellent choir of the church. Mr.
Hibbert spoke very highly of the royal
entertainment the Lucknow people
were giving the delegates and of the
generosity of the choir in favoring
them with so many splendid numbers
Rev. A. J. Langford of Kincardine
was then introduced to speak u;�on
"The problems of the Sunday S'�hool
teacher" ; methods in preparation.
The reverend gentleman remarked
that, while Christian life is one great
essential to a teacher, to be successful
this life must be expressed in a definite
method. Not all of us can be ideal
teachers. Most of us are the two
talented folk. These are the three
main points of his address : 1 -Know
your scholars, their temperment, likes
and dislikes, that you may be able to
give them the message best suited to
them, 2 -Know your lesson. Keep
individual needs of scholars before you
in preparation, 3 --How to present
the lesson, Get a main truth and
make the class grasp at least one or
two points thoroughly, rather than
trying to cover it all and leaving
vague impressions, Prepare your list
of questions, Let the scholars talk.

D
Don't spoon Poon feed the boys, they delft
want it.
Rev, Mr. Brace of Toronto, "Home
side of the Sabbath School Work,"
God's ideal method of teaching is
the home. tf the home has done its
part the Sunday School would not be
organized and carried on in the way it
is today. Paretrts, do you care what
your boy does in Sunday School ?
`What do you teeth him ? Do you
ever pray with him ? Men will raise
horses which must have Special train-
ers and a boy who will be a disgrace
to his father and the community, Be-
gin early to train your Children. No
time is lost which is spent in family
worship. Begirt at the home to solve
the social problem. If parents would
say COME to Sunday School Instead
of GO more good would be accomp-
lished.

HOW TO MAKE MENDS.
The way to make friends is so easy
As breathing the fresh morning air
It ain't an art to be studied
Alone by the men who can spare
The time from their everyday labors,
To ponder on classical Iore ;
It never is taught in a college
And it isn't a trick or a chore.
The way to make friends is to be one,
To smile at the stranger you meet,
To
think cheerful thoughts and to
speak them
Aloud to the people you greet.
To hold out your hand to a brother wa
And cheerfully say, "Howdy -do," bea
In a way that he'll know that you eco
mean it- cap
That's all that's expected of you. Mis
Be honest in all of your dealings, W
Be true to your word and your home Mis
And you will make friends, never bri
doubt it, pin
Wherever you happen to roam, Ma

The need of new church buildings
by both Methodists and Presbyter-
ians may result in a union of the
two denominations in Battleford.
Recently o,t a congregational meet-
ing of the Presbyterians called to
consider the erection of a $25,000
church it was suggested that no
definite action be taken until a Con-
ference with the Methodist congre-
gation could be held, and so popular
was
the suggestion that further
thea
consideration of the proposed Pres-
byterian clinch was postponed. Steps
wore accordingly
taken to a
rrcte a
of
e n er encs of the two
congregations. I
Should a unionbe decided up on a
magnificent new church will be built
instead of two more modest ones,
Members of both congregations are
hopeful as to the outcome.
