[HereanclThere j Vancouver.—According to statis- ics prepared by the Vancouver Merchants' Exchange, the foreign trade export of the port has de- creased 400 per cent, in the past five years, while the import trade has increased 51 per cent. In a recent report from the Cana- dian Pacific Agent at Shanghai re- ceived at Montreal it is stated that the summer in vicinity of Shanghai has been trying on account of drought. This may have a disast- rous effect on the crops. The long and intense heat wave was only re- cently broken by a typhoon which struck the Coast near Shanghai. A plan is projected by the Osaka Prefectural Government authorities in Japan for the promotion of a large exposition in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the res- toration of world peace. It is ex- pected that the exposition will be opened in Osaka in 1929. The plans for the exposition, which will be carried out at tremendous cost, have been approved by the Prime Min- ister. So successful on Canadian farms have been young bachelors, who, prior to residence in this country were students in agriculture at the Hodleigh Salvation Army Schools in Essex, England, that the Army will shortly receive into those insti- tutions their first classes of married men destined for farm lands in the Dominion. The course will be given during six months, and will mean a thorough training in branches of agriculture, particularly adapted to conditions in Canada, Prospects for the establishment of an air route in Japan for mail and passenger service have brightened with the announcement that the Ministry of Communications have included an appropriation • in the budget of the Communications De- partment for such a service. It is anticipated that there will be enough passengers willing to pay double the railroad fare for the sake of speed between Osaka and Tokyo, the leading cities of Japan. The Hebridean- emigrants who are leaving their lone aheilings and misty islands for a new life in Canada have, curiously enough, hitherto been ignored by the novel- ist, although the romance of this migration, extending over a hundred years provides a wonderful field for. fiction. The extent of this field has now been realized, however, in the new novel "Eyes of a Gypsy," by the Canadian writer John Murray Gibbon, who is the well- known author of "Drums Afar", etc., and Dean of Publicity of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Action should be taken by the authorities in the Province of Que- bec to shorten the open season for hunting deer and moose, according to Ozark Ripley, well known writer on animal and wild life and prom- inent hunter and angler. Mr, Ripley also believes that the deer season is too early as in September the deer are still in their red coats, and their numbers are only conserved through their ability to hide amongst the leaves of the underbrush which have not yet fallen. He believes that a scarcity of this game will result from the lengthy season, The Earl of Clarendon, 'tinder Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs in the British Government, who has been touring the Dominion investigating the eonditions under which the 3000 -family scheme from Great Britain is wo'ldng out, de- clared, in an interview at the Cana- dian Pacific Windsor Street Station, at Montreal recently, that one of' the greatest things upon which the success of the scheme depeeded was the loyalty and eheorfulneee of the mothers of families hi—might out to Canada to be beat 1 nn farms. His Lordship paid a Spr. :ar tribute to the type of women 1 -rough out under this theme where he had me tl eleg his personal visits antongl immigrant families, GET RSD OF THAT CONSTIPATION "FRUIT-A-TIVES"---A SURE, POSITIVE REMEDY DESJARDINS Thousands of people, in every part of Canada, are rapidly winning back health and strength with the help of "Fruit-a-tives."

GODERICH HAS, MIDNIGHT FIRE Barn Burned and Two Horses and Family Dog Perish Goderich, One., Sept. 22.—A most disastrous fire broke out nbotlt nee o'clock this morning in the large barn owned by J. E. Walters, Park street, which completely destroyed the struc- ture. Two horses, a dog and a number of chickens in the barn were burned to death. There was about tnree loads of hay in the loft, and spontaneous com- bustion is given as the origta of the blaze. A light wind carried the burn- ing pieces through the air and sev- eral small blazes were repor;,od but these were quickly extinguished. The residence of J. E. Walters, which is on the same lot as the barn, suffered most as it was in the direct path of the wind which blew on to the roof. Had a stronger wind been blowing a more disastrous fire, would have been the result. BRUCE COUNTY J. A. McDonald, Teeswater, snif••r' ed a fracture of his right hand while cranking a car.

At any other time he might have become the center of at- , traction, for he had numy friends in tate town and reports of his bravery and medal award at the front had beau duly noted In the local newspaper. Jost naw, however, the place had gone wild. There was a reason fur this. Just before going into the service his love for a certain young lady in the village, named Wanda Bond, had inspired him with mighty hope and longing. On the eve of limiting his declaration, with or- ders for departure to service pend- ing, he was told by tt friend that 33les Bond had become engaged to 19111s Thurston. An overheard reiteration of the information an the part of Thurston completely drove Roger from the field as a rival. He was glad to get away froru the scene where his fondest hopes had been so rudely blasted. ile had not heard from Wan- da since. Now, returned, he could not repress the old interest and love in a girt who was the one and only ideal of his (ireFtles. "Is it an omen?" abruptly Roger ques- tioned himself, and drew back into a sheltering doorway. Coming down the street in au automobile was the man who had robbed him of his move—Lilts Thurston. The latter was flushed and riotous of manner and voice. He was showering confetti ou the crowds and uttering jubilant yells, the sham pa- triot he had ever been, for he had tak- en nu advantage of a technicality to evade going Into war service. Clinton was soon ablaze with enthu- siasm, copying metropolitan manners • celebrant on a minor scale. Whistles 1 shrieked, bells jingled, automobbles dashed along with strings of tin cans trailing behind. From office windows great masses of torn -up paper were cast adrift, filling the air and littering i the street, and all the time, cooped up at home, just convalescing from an at- tack of the measles and therefore un- able to join the roving groups down- town, little Millie and Esther, nieces of Wanda Bond, set about having n jubi- lation of their own on n home-made scale, but destined to solve the fate of two loving hearts that otherwise might have drifted apart forever. ' Left alone with a servant they trimmed the porch with flags und bunt- ing. They were forbidden to leave the yard, but fully enjoyed the infection of patriotic duty. A sight of whirling scraps of paper down the street sug- gested en idea. "Ohl" exclaimed Es- ther, why' can't we snake a snow- storm, too!" "We can, we must," acquiesced Mil- lie excitedly, and very soon they had gathered up all tete old newspapers In the bnuse, got ftp on the fence posts and shouted with glee as the •brisk breeze added their quota to the litter that mottled the roadways. "I know where there's a heap of old paper," declared Millie, as their initial supply was exhausted. "Where—where," demanded her partner in mischief eagerly. • "In the .utile. Aunt Wanda put 0. box of stuff from her desk up there yesterday," and thus It was in their heedless glee the two exiles from the public celebration made up for the deprivation by recklessly scattering to the winds the contents of a waste basket speedily pounced upon. • Roger Melville had meantime felt an irresistible impulse to stroll past the house of his beloved one. Twice he 1 wtis buffeted with the sheets and par - titles of paper sent adrift by reckless hands. An open four-page letter caught against his coat. His eye fall- ing upon it, he looped with interest nt a letter atedressed to "Dear Friend Wanda," and it was signed by Estelle Mason, .het closest friend, It was of recent date and palpably one of a regular correspondence. His eyes glowed' as ho perused it. All thoughts of the propriety of rending the letter were as naught for the mo- ment, as his thirsting soul drank in a rapture complete. "I am glad you have given Ellis rTitul'stor his quietus," It read. "Be- tween a slacker end a hero there is no choice. Why don't you forget maid- enly modesty and all that, and cheer up the man you Iove, fighting for his native country and very likely think- ing of you as constantly as you of him?

As far back as 1670 there were lines of wooden rails in many of. the English colliery districts, known as tramways, over which trucks lad- en with coal were drawn by horses for short distances, and in 1738 rails of iron were used for the first time. In• 1803 the first railroad on which pasengers were carried eves opened on the outskirts of London, but the coaches were drawn by hors- es. During the next few years sev- eral steam locomotives were con- structed for haulage work in the col- lieries, but they all proved less satis- factory and far more expensive ' titan the horse-drawn tramways. When the Stockton and. Darling- ton Railway scheme was sanctioned by Parliament in 1822• it was intend- ed that horses should be used to haul the wagons, but George Stephenson, the great engineer, succeeded in im- pressing the promoter's of the line with the great advantages to be de- rived from .steam traction, and he was given a free hand. He solve(: the many problems which had baffled the cleverest (scientists and engineers of the day, and constructed a locomo- tive which proved not 'only highly efficient but very economical. At the opening of the railroad on the 27th September, 1825, Stephen- son drove his locomo'tive on its first journey, and hauled a train of 34 wagons, a total weight of 90 tons, at a speed ranging from 14 to 15 miles per h,pur. The line was origin- ally intended only for the conveyance of minerals and freight, but pas- sengers were carried from the very first trip, and the public demand be- came so great that a regular passen- ger coach with acconodation for 21 people, 6 inside and 15 outside, was • added to the daily train a fortnight Iafter the opening run„.,_ The great advantages of the new form of transportation were immed- !lately apparent, and the carriage of Imerchandise between Stockton and 1 Darlington fell from five pence to 1less than a half -penny per ton ' mile, while the cost of coal in the ' latter town dropped from eighteen to eight shillings per ton. The opening of the new railroad aroused little ,beyond a local interest, and although several other short lines were soon after built in various parts of Britain very few persons seemed to have realized the great future awaiting the steam locomotive, and it was not until the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Rail- way in 1830 that the world awoke to the fact that a revolution in the methods of travelling had taken place. It was for this raliway that Stephenson constructed his famous iron steed, "The Rocket," which em- bodied most of the principles of the locomotive as we know it to -day', the numerous changes effected during the last century being chiefly a grad- ual increase in size and power with an improvement in design, material and mechanical construction. For many years the general public (evinced a marked distrust of tine safety of steam traction, and when Queen Victoria made her first rail- road trip from London to Windsor, the Master of the Horse, whose duty it was to supervise all royal journey:, went to the station in advance and subjected the locomotive to a criti- cal but meaningless inspection. On the arrival of the Queen at the sta- tion her coachman insisted upon trav- elling on the engine in order to see that it didn't run away, but his re- splendent livery of scarlet and gold, white kid gloves and powdered wig suffered so much damage from soot, grease, and flying "'sparks that he waived his prerogative on all future railroad trips of his royal mistress. PERTH COUNTY Listowel has paseed a Stop Street By-law. Macklin Burgess fell from a trap- eee in the Mitchell High School gym- nasium and had the misfortune to have a small bone in his left arm broken. Mrs. Elizabeth Bender, widow of Joseph' F.
