World's Harvest -
Equal to Needs
A despatch from London says:—The
world's harvest prospects show a total
yield just equal to requirements. The
wheat crops of Canada, the United
States, Spain, Italy and !Switzerland
are estimated at 95 per cent. of the
y++eld of 1919. Rye, barley and oats in
met countries ,greatly exceed the av-
erage. Potatoes in Canada, the Un-
ited States and Switzerland are esti-
mated et 184 per cent.

Housing Accommodation
A despatch from Halifax says:—
The housing situation throughout the
Maritime Provinces is even more ser-
ious than elsewhere in Canada. Large
numbers, of immigrants enter Canada
by the east every month; and if hous-
ing accomodation was sufficient,
large numbers of these would be re-
tained in. the cities and towns of east-
ern Canada. The industries are in need
of much more labor than is usually
available; and it is felt that the
strongest steps must be taken• to se-
cure ,shelter for the newcomers. In
Halifax itself even many of the ex-
plosion victims are without adequate
dwellings. Only some building per-
mits for dwellings were issued here
last month; and the present month's
building -outlook is not bright.
In Sydney the situationis • also
tense, and many families are hard put
to obtain any shelter at -all. It is
feared that many people will be forced
to reside in hotels this winter res no
other accomodation is available and
hotel accohnodation itself is decidedly
scanty.
More modern kings and queens in
statuary lanes are now in demand for
decorations of London squares 'and
streets, especially people known to the
present generation, says a Landon
Dispatch. Therefore the Office of
Works has decided that various
statues of kings of bygone days must
be removed to give place to new,
King George III. will leave his ped-
estal at the entrance to Pall Mall and
King Wiitliam IV. will be deposed: from
his wonted throne in the City. Lord
Napier leaves Waterloo place and pro;
bably will be succeeded by King Ed-
evard VII. Inrd Napier goes to
Trafalgar Square. Sir Rowland Hill
will be removed from behind the Royal.
Exchange.
New statues of heroes of this war to
be erected are those of Lords Roberts
and Kitchener .somewhere near the
War Office and the Horse Guards
Parade, and Lord Fisher, near the Ad-
miralty.
