Following the long continued cool weather this year the change is enough to cause a very noticeable wilt. A TORONTO big store has set the pace by adopting a closing up order for the whole day on Saturday during the months of July and August, One by pee old fancies and ideas give place to the more modern plans and still the world moves. Cvrtu Wes somewhat direlict in his duty in leading the usual number of bachelors or widowers to yoke up with damsels or widows in the month of June, Some say "the colo is too scarce." and that accounts for the fall- ing off in the total of marriages Pxort.s often talk of the cleverness of the Yankees but this must surely beover- estimated or they would long before this have adopted a saner method of choos- ing a candidate to contest the Presi• dency. It is not much wonder that the election campaign for this high office is a great disrupter of business in the Re- public to the South. No one will find fault with a deep interest being taken in an election but there are bounds that should not be overstepped. WRY does not Premier Howard Fer- guson do bis own announcing relative to the proposed Plebiscite vote without be- ing superseded by two very officious fol- Iowers taking it on themselves to "spring" the news oo the electors? Some fellows appear to always carry their nerve with them and arrogate be- coming the mouthpiece of the institu- tiou they lean up against. We did not notice anybody patting them ou the back for their "heroism." Astley all the methods of taxation as revenue -getters business people are touched up fairly sharply'in this country. We would like to see Postmaster Gener- al Murphy pare off a ceot on letter pos- tage, restoring the rate to the former 2 cent rate. United States carry their letters at this figure and make no com- pliment of it. Possibly the reduction w old encourage more letter writing g and in this way the total receipts might not fall far short of the necessary esti- mate. CANADIAN Red Cross, who rendered such noble service during the period of the world war has not grown weary in well doing, Amount of cash and goods contributed to Japan in her recent great National loss totalled $215.56r. The Britain of the East has not been slow to acknowledge this receipt of the much appreciated assistance. Japs were hard bith t by the earthquake but with optimistic activity restoration is pro- ceeding in good style. $so.000,000 has been subscribed by American Jews, in connection with a Z•ooist emigration movement to Pales- tine, This large sum is to pay the ex- penses of 5o,000 Jews who are to be located in the Holy Land and the cam- paign is to extend over a term of years. An international Conference of Jews is to be called in Jerusalem next Decem- ber to discuss the situation and plan for the carrylug out of the project. A big emigration boom is expected to be launched, Hos. Ds.

A atteztr faced gang of rum -runners in the U S., whose craft, ` Stumble Inn I," was seized by Canadian Marine authorities when it took refuge ie Canadian waters to escape pursuit by an American police ship, has been handed over to Canuck officials. It was rather a grave turn in the situation that Captain Coffio was the officer in charge. Guess the boat was properly named as all and sundry who have trafficked in hoot: usually had to "stumble" before he fooled with it very long. "Stumble In" is the finale without any doubt, Ex -Postmaster Grant Sketched By The Winnipeg Tribune J, R. Grant, veteran, and hale and hearty citizen, at one of those delight- ful St. Audrew's society functions sometime back in the late eighties ; not that he hadn't added to the life of many a similar gathering long before that. On the social side a little fuller ere- quaintauce revealed one of his favor- ite pastimes, the game of billarde, in which he participated many times with an ex -president of St. Andrew's, one of the fathers of golf in Winnipeg and a man whoee adaptability to. every form of refined sport became a proverbial word in the community. Now rounding out eighty years in an. old world which he avers isn't half so unpleasant as many people would make it out to be, "J. R., " a little bird whispers, was the championship winner in a Pacific Coast club com- petition about a year ago, defeating some fifty or sixty competitors to reach the coveted goal, The historic prowess of Herbert Spencer doesn't equal this record ; but mum's the word with Me. Grant respecting any !, of these side achievements of life. He was at the Old -Timers' Banquet the other night, earning a place of honor by reason of his fifty years' residence in Manitoba. He arrived in Winnipeg on May 24, 1874, just in time to participate in the Queen's cele- bration, There were several routes to Winnipeg in those days, one via Hudson Bay, the other via the Lake of the Woods—Alexander MacKen- te stretches, zie'e projected water a tent , resh- c ing from Lake Superior Westward,— and the third from the South, through American territory, via Moorehead, Minn., and Pembina, N. D. This lat- ter was Mr. Grunt's route, and the is the old double -funneled, 1 probability "International" was hi stern-wheel medium of transportation, Rether a monotonous river trip, old timers con- fess. But if the signs of human life were fete along the low and level banks of the Red River, there were clouds of mosquito witnesses, morn- ing, noon and night, nn almost un- rivalled breeding ground for the pests in times of antedating drainage. Those were the days when the whole town moved towards "No. 8 Warehouse," located at the Northern end of what is now Main St, bridge, when the etearuer whistle blew pre- liminary to rounding into the Assini- boine River, The cabins were not overcrowded, the adventurers into the mystic lone land were few, so there was time and opportunity to inspect, one by one, the newcomers as they landed, Capt,—later Major—Stvin. ford, was the c!neer in chief in charge of the freight and passenger service of the steamship line. He was the kind of man to make the young fellows feel that they had arrived in a land of ac- tivity, Mr. Gr'ant's post was inspector of the London Canadian Loan Company. Like the Hudson Bay men he came under a five-year contract. One of his old pals tells the story that J, R. was a man of despatch, In a hurry to reach one of the few spots then on the map Winnipeg on a muddy day, he called in the assistance of the only lone cab in the village. The cabby did his best until reaching a point, about where the city hall now stande, where a creek was overflowing its banks after a torrential ruin, The wheels of the rig became all but in- vieible, the horses were mired, and J, R. went in search of the prairie sod, mud to hie knees. Reminded of the incident the other day, be rennet ken on the contrast to- day. with pavements and roads the equal of any on the continent. Mr. Grant is a Huron man. Down in the old province he had qualified himself as a chemist and druggist. He was a member of the Pharm- aceutical Association of Ontario, Ilis earlier profeesion brought him into contact with James Stewart, Win nipeg'e fleet, druggist, whose pharm. trey was located near the corner of Main Street and Graham Avenue, A shrewd Soot of varied and sound qualifications, Mr,. Stewart was' also the meteorological authority for Man- toba. Mr, Grant had no thought of iu rih iti f on Mr. Stetva'' xt mono R R s l , The 'community was healthy, andel e carninge of eitherdoctors or druggists Were not tempting, While in the East Mr, Grant patter- ed through a achooi of military in - Electrical Electrical wiring See us about your Electrical Wiring before letting that job of yours, Estimates cheerfully given, Our Prices are Right All Workmanship Neat and Guaranteed as we use only experienced labor.

Call American Hotel BRUSSELS struction, at London, winning the $1,00 awarded to young men who be- came efficient defenders of their coun- try. He was postmaster at Brussele for several years, also in charge of the telegraphs in that part of the world, performing the early feat of taking by sound on the old tape machine. He also represented the Toronto Globe in a reportorial capacity, corning into contact with the veteran Hamiltonian, Adam Brown, and William McGiverin promoting the building of the Wel- lington, Grey and Bruce Railway. Visits at Wingham, Lucknow and Kincardine followed, in the compan- ionship of the veterans whose names are indelibly connected with the early railway history of Ontario. In later years, after his contract with the London and Canadian Loan Company expired, Mr. Grant repre- sented the Federal Life for nearly twenty yegrs, before engaging in busi- nese on hie own personal account. Travel, a habit of life, the cultiva- tion of which began almost a quarter of a century ago, has taken Mr. Grant to almost every spot on the American continent, and not a few places be- yond. Cuba, the Bahamas and the South of Eutrope, are enumerated in his Winter list, and in the December - January days his address is either California or British Columbia, But he never neglects to hear and heed the call of the North. Hence his pretence during the festive fifty-year anniver- sary. "'There's no place just like Win- nipeg and the West," says J. R. From appearances he will live to see realized many of his dreams for the future of his country in which be cast his lot halt a century ago.
