Local quarries that offer material of a suit able nature, alt satisfactory prices might well be patronized." Growers' 'Council Organized . !Giving force to the recommenda- tion made in the Somerset report, re- presentative fruit and vegetable grow- ers to the number of about 60 meet last 'week in Hamilton and organised a Growers' 'Market C'ouncil. The gathering was sporsered by the new Ontario Marketing Board as one of its first steps to aid agriculture in this province. The fuo'otion ,of the Coun- cil will be to develop the ord'erly marketing of Ontario fruit and veg- etables, withspecial consideration to extension of markets and also to deal in an advisory calpacity with the various problems of growers.

The first radio broadcast in history of musical entertainment from a steamship in moion, sent over a network of Canadian and United States and stations, was carried through successfully as the Empress of Britain was sailing up the tit,. Lawrence on her maiden voyage from Cherbourg June 1. Alt records for the St. Lawrence haute to Europe were shattered when the new Canadian Pacific linPr Empress of Britain, 42,500 - ton flagship of the company's Atlantic, fleet, made the run from Cherbourg to Father Point in four days, nineteen hours, on her maiden voyage May 27 -June 1. "The train ride from Vancouver to Banff is the most wonderful I have ever taken," was the com- ment of the much -travelled and famous writer J. B. Priestley, of 'Angel Pavement" and "The Good Companions" fame, interviewed i'evently at the Banff Springs Motel. "These parts are too wonderful to describe," he said, arid added he was coming again in September for the trail riding. The Shield for efficiency among the four Canadian Pacific white L•'mpresses of the Pacific,, maimed last year by E. W.

Travelling by. Canadian Pacific special train from Toronto to Vic- toria and return, over 100 members of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association held their annual gen- eral meeting early, in June and took the opportunity to make .;a Trans -Canada tour, including Win- nipeg, Regina and Saskatoon, where they conferred with local industrialists and were given civic and provincial welcomes.

The Department will gladly furnish a copy to any applicant. Campaign Against Weeds The provincial authorities are leav- ing no stone unturned in their cam- paign against weeds. 'Many of the highways have the usual prolific crops along the sides of the road, 'Sterne of the farms throu.gh'otet the country have crops of weeds which will soon be ripening and spreading their seeds to the four winds. :Delinquents in this respect will be given an oppor- tunity to explain the reason for their contemet of the law as soon as the weed inspector makes his rounds. Summer Homes For Bogs The tog does not require an ex- pensive home. Not only that, . but hest results are actually obtained from the cheaper equipment. Two. or three cabins and a box -stall for the farrowing sow will supply the neces- sary housing in the case of the farmer who grows a few hogs. :Experiments have prayed successful with cabins con'ttructed of strong though relative- ly light material and provided with hinged sides for free passage olf air in the summer season. They are built on rummers so as to be easily shift'ed from ipface to place. The A scraped cabin is subject to da'mage by the pressure of the hogs, from the in- side. The uprightca'bin With the peaked roof will hast Inc years. :A cir cular is available at your local agri- cultural oflfice giving specification s for a suit'able summer home which when tightened t p and properly pro- tected, makes anall-year hog house. Tobacco For the Sheep 'Losses from unfthriftines's due to in- ternal parasites in sheep may be re- duced by the feeding of to'bacc'o 'to the" flack. The tobacco is given with salt in the proportion of ten pounds of salt to one of crushed tobacco leaf. The leaf should be dried so that it May be broken up in a size equal to w'hea't bran. This •when mixed with salt, slightly moistened, forms a cake which the sheep will lick when placed before them inthe field or pen 'This recommendation is made by Dr. Lionel Stevenson, author of the valu- able bulletin, "Coin.nnon Animal Para- sites Injurious to 'Sheep in Eastern. Canada,' in which he states that for a flock unused to the tobacco a slightly less proportion of tobacco should be used for a week or two at the beginning. Promising Crops Conditions throughout Ontario are very promising. From present con- ditions it appears that 'haying will start sonte'wthat earlier than the aere'r- age year and the yield, eslpeeially new seeding, will he very heavy., Fall wheat and spring grains are making wonderful. 'growth. IThe price of cheese has strengthened in the lash week or two, but na'any factories re- port a small make, ,due to milk pro - duets finding their way into other dairy products. Mortality in Young Pigs. A high nt'ortality in hogs on farms in Siancoe County is • reported by Stewart L. Page, agricultural repre- sen'taitive. Young pigs have been dy- ing when only a few drays old and in. many cases Have been still -born; The mortallity has been higher in young; pigs than in more mature animals. Mr, Page states that it is dee in pant to the dry season exlperienced last year and to the fact that poorly bal-. kneed rations are lbein'g fed in neany hog areas. !Tone -grown rations are often deficientt in protein and mineral. ,matter and for this reason many hog producers Lind . it advisable to feed some min'era'l mixture as reconnuend- ed' in charts supplied by the depart - tricot, which are available at . your local representative's office, A mix- ture of 50, pounds of bone flour. and 30. pounds - of slake time or pulverized ,limestone, with tenprolines of com- mon salt, 5 lbs. of iron sulphate and 3 ounces ofpotassium iodide is re- commended to be 'fed in addition to home-grown feeds as a measure dir- ected towards lowering mortality. for hay" is' a good rule to follow. As the present acreage of both als'ilke and red clover this year is .very small e'om4 pared with other years, and 'there is now a tariff of three cents .a o'ound on these commodities it may be well worth • while to go to a li'ttle extra trouble in cleansing ulp doubtful field's: The same is 'true of timothy, the duty on which was raised to two cents a pound in the new budget. Last year we imported STA million pound's Of this seed so there s'h'ould be plenty ,of room for all the Clean timothy we can grow in "Canada. The chrief trouble with 'Oanadian-grown, timothy has been the high percentage, of weed seeds and mixtures of clovers and other grasses. All weeds should' be pulled out at this time, particularly the ox -eyed, daisy. It is also ;goad policy to cut a swath right around the field at hayin:g'tirne, This removes the weeds creeping in from the •fences, Catch -fly, campion, dock and sweet clover are the naost serious weeds which should be pulled. I't is (policy to remove them to the edge of the field and destroy. B'O'AT TRAGEDIES. The sinking of the excursion boat St, Philbert off. St. Nazaire, , Franlce, canoe within a day of falling upon the anniversary of -the toes of the steam- er 'General Slocum in New York on June' l5th, 1904. In that catastrophe 1,021 persons of the 1,331 passengers lost their lives. The General Slocum took fire in the East River and her victim's went to their deaths .in view of thousands of person's on the Manhattan and Brook- lyn shores. A somewhat similar tragedy was that of the Eastland in Chicago on July 24, 1915. The Eastland, a large steel pleasure boat, capsized at her pier 111 the Chicago River and 912 persons perished Of the 2,000 aboard. lWhen the river commission steam- er M, E. Norman sank in the Mis- sissippi near 'Memphis on May 8, 1925, 23 engineers and their guests were last. The Norman was convey- ing delegates attending a convention in Memphis on a sightseeing trip. There have 'been other disasters' to passenger ships, one of which was the sinking of the steamer Norge on June 28, 1904, off the coast of. Scot- land, in which 646 persons died. On April 14, 1912, the W'hlte Star liner Titanic, ors her maiden' trip, struck an iceberg' and foundered in mid -North Atlantic, carrying down 1,5117 passengers and crew. The Empress of Ireland, after col- lision. with the Danish collier Sitor- stad on May 29, 1914, went to the bottom with 1,0214 persons. On January 12, 1920, a French steamship went dawn in the Bay of Biscay, with a loss of 500' lives, The Principessa Me faida, when sunk by an explosion off Porto Se- guro, Brazil, on October . 25, 9927, carried 344 persons to death,' The Vestris on November '1.2, 1928, found- ered in a storm off Virginia Capes, with 11O persons. Better fortune at- tended the wreck of the steamship Harvard last tife'morial Day when she went aground off Point Arguello, San- ta Barbara, Cal. Her several hundred passengers and crew es!eaped, al- though the vessel lies a useless hulk on the shore.

North America has 21,695,376 tele- phones, 'or 62,84% of the world total, a number that is almost ' twice the total of all other countries. Canada witch 114.'2 telephones for eac'hi100.pop. elation comes second in telephone de- velolpmen't to the United States which. leads the world with 1I6;i' telephones per 100 el its ,inhabitants. New Zea- land comes third with 10.3, followed by *Denmark with 9.6, Sweden with 8.3 and Australia with 7.9 telephones per 100 inhabitants. Canada ,with 1;399,996 ranks fourth in 'absolute nmumtber of telephones be- ing led only by United States, Ger many and Great 1Bri'tain. But in 'Ger- many and Great Britain the number Of. telephones per !100 population is only 5.0 and 4A respectively. It is in- teresting to note that in Canada 82 per cent and in United States' HO per cent of the telephones are under pri- vate ownership and operation, while in Germany and Great+Britain all tele- pliones are operated by the govern- ment. Argentina leads South A'mer- ica in telephone development with 2.5 per 100 inhabitants, a density exactly equal to that of France. Japan easily leads the Asiatic countries but has only L4 telephones per, 100 people. 'In the provision of telephone facil- ities for cities of 50,000 people and over, Canada leads the world. With 213 telephones per 100 inhabitant's in these communities its closest rival is the United 'States •With 22.9.

Thus the inhabitants. are better provided with telephones hof the larger 'Europ can I tcities,nmst h o o lln Canada the te'lep'hone is used to a greater extent than in any other country. During 1929 Canadians made 257.7 telephone conversations per capita, while the United States and New Zealand with 230.0 And 212.0 were the only 'other coun'fries with over 200 telephone oonversations per person. Denmark with 1148.6 was the leader of -the European countries in conversations per 'capita. Canadians make B times more use of their tele- phones than the British who 'remitted 32.1 conversations per capita and over 13 times more than the French who make. 19.1 calls per capita. BOAT INJURED BY FIRE. The seven million d'o'llar Furness. liner Bermuda was partly destroyed by fire in the harbor at Hamilton, Bermuda Islands. At least one life was lost in the blaze, evil/eh destroyed the superstructure, burning the A, B and C decks. A charred ,body was taken frona the vessel after fire had been brought under control, and was believed to be the boat's barber. About 20 sailors who aided lams and water fighting forces were overcome by smoke and taken to the hospital. The liner, plying between Hamilton and !New'York and one of the largest itnotorsiips itt the world, caught fare at 2:30 a,na, slhortiy`before it was to sa'i4 for New Yorkwitha big pas- senger list.. The flames s'tar'ted in the forepart and,spre.ad rapidly. The crew of the vessel, asleep, were forced to flee from the ship in night attire.

EXILED KING AT HISTORIC TOWN OF FONTAINBLEAU 'The •once proud' miens of the'Span- ish people, Alfonso XI5I. a.nd his Queen, have :,ecome a humble human couple in exile. lin their daily walks in the historic town' of Fontainbleau where they have chosen 'to make their home with !five of their, six children, they have time to reflect at leisure of the scan- eccent glory of monarchs, for at al- most every turntheyare remindedof the ill-fated 'careers of other rulers whose rise and fall are part of his- tory. The ex -Ring Alfonso Finds a mel- ancholy ple'a'sure -ill hor'wsing atnidst the shadows within the grimy gray walls of the Chateau of 14ontainblean and often he has peeped' into the room where, in 1914, the •great Napa - lean himself was 'hum'bled ',w'hen he signed his decree of abdication. He. visits also :the a'part'ments where Pope Pius Val. was held prisoner by Bon- aparte. Priends close to the king declare hismind is at rest so fax as 'Spain is concerned. He does not believe there is the slightest hope he ever will re- turn to his country as its ruler and Inc frankly has told his family so. The. queen, on the other hand, is ,optimis- tic and repeatedly tells her ladies-in- waiting: adies-in- waiting: "You .will see, the day 'will come when the Spanish people will ask us to come back again. 'The monarchy has fallen before, but the people have repented afterwards and brought back their rulers from exile." iRing A'1'fonso's two 'main cares at present, it is autharitatively declared, are, firstly, financial and, secondly, the .future of his third and favorite son, Don Juan Carlos, now a naval cadet in .the British naval college at Dartmouth. It is to see this boy that the king makes occasional trips to London and he often talks ,with hien on the long --distance telephone. Alfonso was overjoyed when he induced the Bri- tish Admiralty to accept 'Juan's earl- ier studies in the Spanish naval acad- emy as valid in England, thus ensur- 'ing that the youth will pass out 'from. the college in a year or two as a full- fledged lieutenant in the British navy. !While the former queen passes most of her time visiting Paris to .shop and while the royal children amuse themselves playing golf, ex - King Alfonso conducts a great deal of business from his office which has been set up in the hotel in which he is passing his exile. The deposed monarch has had many business affairs to liquidate. There have been :many rumors about the extent of his private fortune -- some estimates have ,placed it as high as $,10,000,000—but these have been exaggerated greatly, From the standpoint of the .stan- dard of living to which he Inas been accustomed he is a poor man. ,Only by careful economies tan he balance his personal budget. Each week he has a heavy expense account to meet, including a big hotel bill for the fa- mily and their entourage and ser- vants. "The royal family have their jew- els, certainly," an individual close to the royal exiles said, "but they Bever would consent to sell them. The pride of the royal house of Spain would prevent tfiat." Realizing that the ex -king, if not .broke, is feeling the financial pinch. the servants are reported to have vol- unteered to accept .smaller wages, but Alfonso refused. As is well known, Alfonso is a keen huntsman and often goes with friends, including the Duke of Alba, boar hunting in the forest, which is noted for this sport. 'In the forest at Fontainbleau, the president of the French Republic often gives boar hunting expeditions, 'a custom which has been observed fn French politica: life for' centuries. For more than four decades he had been in public 'life. He was born at Newmarket, Ont., in 1953. After the election of 1904 when Sir James Whitney was called upon to forst a government, Dr. Pyne accepted the portfolio of education and held that position until His resignation in 1918. During his term of office he did much to improve the educational systema of the public schools, and the status of the teachers. He sponsored and dir- ected the p'assa'ge through the Legis- lature of the Teachers' Pension Act which made possible the retiresneut on .superannuation of large numbers of teachers who had grown old in the service and their replacement by younger instructors. He wasalso a member of the Board of Governors of Toronto University. Amottg many other activitie's in his younger days, he was registrar of the Ontario Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons; as- sistant surgeon at the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital; clinical physician at the Toronto Insane !Hospital.; a mem- ber of the first board of health of To- ronto; assistant surgeon of the Royal 'Grenadiers; • at one time an officer in the 37th Halditnand Rifles. During the Great War he was active in en- couraging n-cou aging recruiting and volunteered for active service. He was appointed to supervise- the construction and equipment of the Ontario :Military I13ospital at Orpington, Rent, Eng- land, and was in charge of that, in- stitution, He retired from the military service in 1925 with the rank of lieu- tenant -colonel. On returning to Canada from Eng- land, he was appointed clerk of the County Court of York and: subse- quently sheriff of Toronto, • "'Don't you love the sweet moan of the saxaphonist "".

Settlers in the S'ou'thern Alberta town of Wayne struggled to save their homes from the rising flood wa- ters which have taken five lives and threatened scones of others l'as't week end. Out of gray skies rain poured' dawn as a grim denouement to the tragic events which commenced with the sudden cloudburst of two days ago. (Four persons are known dead, an- other is considered lost in the roaring torrents and a sixth is near death in a hospital. More than 100 have been forced from their water threatener) homes in the Wayne district, an'd hundreds more are seeking means of protecting their dwellings against the rising waters. 'Mining towns in. the Drumheller district and farming areas near Rock- yford and Aredenode 'found that ex- tensive damage had been done. Con - tinted rani and temperatures easing down toward freezing point Promised to add to difficulties. Mike Kleboff, 20, of K'amsa,ck. Sask., was killed when a Canadian National Railways traiai was wrecked due to floods near Aredenode. Ian the same accident, Charles Katon, 38, was so seriously hurt that he was rushed:. to a 'hospital at Rockyford. Searchers along the washed out: shores. of 1[ichich'i Creek added to - their quest the owner of an abandon- ed car found on tite hanks of the - creek, They are seeking for some - trace of Mrs. John 'Graham and icer song Joseph, who were carried away when their home` was swept, along an: the torrent, and the body of C. N. - Coates, prominent: farmer, who was swept from a bridge and carried away on the angry tide. The second cloudburst of the last three days occurred in the Rosebud valley and caused the w*ashont that wrecked the freight train. Wrecking crews are now at the scene. Several days will be required before the raids will again bear the weight of trains and. coaches. Bridges and other sec- tions of the fine have been washed out in the same district. The general downpour deluged the. country with from one to three inches of rain. and in many districts was continuing. `Centres such as Hanna. and Mirror, which have had practic- ally no rain for weeks, report the pre-- cipitation at one and; two inches res- pectively. Highways have been washed out in many places, bridges have been ,put out of commission al- ong swollen water courses and for. the first time in 12 months sloughs- are brimming .with water. TO MAKE MARKERS. :Confirming reports that the Gov- ernnaent of Ontario has purchased the plant, processes and equipment of. the Colortype Company of Ila'milton,, Ilion. Leopold Macaulay, provincial' secretary, stated that in future On— tario's license markers will be manu- factured at the reformatory at iGuelph, Because, h'owever, company employees would be absorbed by the 'Govern•ment as instructors at the re- formatory, and because the industry fi'lIed the want of providing the in- mates with an agency of occupation,. he did not think the action conflicted in any way with "free" labor. "We have purchased the equip- ment quipment and processes," said Mr. Mac- aulay, "and machinery is now being• installed at the reformatory ready for use, it is hoped, by July 1. One rea- son for our decision to take this step, was that it fulfilled the constant search for productive industry, which, at the present time, provided a most important agency for reformation, namely, useful work, and produced an article employed in departmental use... ` TO INVESTIGATE IN HURON COUNTY ALSO Following his investigation in the County of Perth, Inspector Fairfuf of the Old .Age Pensions Commission, will start a probe in Huron County, where there are about twice as many pensioners as there are in Perth. Ile, will be at work in Perth for several'. weeks yet. There are about 350 cases there, outside of Listowel, St. Marys and Stratford. In the latter city con- ditions are good, and he gives credit to the local board. TO MEET IN TORONTO Interest throughout the United States and Canada is being aroused' by the .forthcoming International Lions convention to be held in To- ronto July lath to 17th inclusive. It marks the first time the convention. has ever been awarded to a city out- side of the United States atad, such being the ease, is an important event in the history of :service clubs in Can- ada. A thorough organization t0 pre- pare for the convention has been per- fected in the Toronto Club, and the various •committees are working hard '. under the direction of 'Chairman Jack Connell and in co-operation wth the International directors, Other Canadian clubs have pledged their support to the Toronto Club, and the number of Canadians in at- tendance will be greatly in excess of. the nemlber at any previous Lions 'Convention, The total number of. clubs in Lionism is now over 2,500, and one of the most successful con- ventions since the inception of Lion - ism is anticipated, The program will be both educa- tional and entertaining. Noted t^peak- ers will be heard, while the time set aside for esiteetainnaent will he util- ized to the best possible advantage. A feature will be "Canada Night," set for Wednesday July 15, when a uni- que pageant, different to anything ever before attempted, will be pant Ole at the Toronto Coliseum, California Lions will have their night of enter- tainment, while. Texas and Indiana will provide programs to interest the delegates on another evening, President Hoover, of the United States, has delegated Col.
