Stubbs May Enter Politics Winnipeg -A private citizen for the first time in more than a decade, Lewis St, George Stubbs, former Manitoba senior county court judge, whose retirement by order -in -council -was announced at Ottawa, refused to discuss or- to. deny that he, will re- enterfederal polities. Before he was appointed to the bench in 1922, Stubbs ran as a Lib- eral candidate in Marquette in the federal election of 1921, but was de- feated. Announcing that he intends to be- gin the practice of law this month, Stubbs would offer no comment to the suggestion he may be a candidate in "the approaching federal by-election. in Mackenzie constituency, Saskatch- ewan. He declared he was not in- terested in provincial politics. +11 charges were laid against Mr. Stubbs, he was found guilty on four 'counts. Less Wheat, Better Price Winnipeg. - Governments of the three Prairie Provinces have pledged their support to the principle of cur- tailing wheat production or controll- ing wheat exports for the purpose of stabilizing prices, and have offered to co-operate with the Dominion Gov- ernment in achieving such an objec- tive, The proposals were contained in a wire to Prime Minister Bennett forwarded by representatives of the three Provinces: Text of the proposals contained in the wire to the Prime Minister fol- lows "That, in the, opinion of the .corn mittee, an increase in commodity pri- ces generally and wheat prices in par- ticular is essentially a condition pre- cedent to any sustained improvement in Canadian economic conditions. That in view of the' present large world surplus of wheat and the pre- sent prospect of a further large Can- adian crop, some plan of curtailment of wheat production in or exports from the four principal exporting countriesis essential to,any such in- crease. Suggests' Use of Convalescent Homes Hamilton—Establishment of con- valescent homes in rural districts ad- jacent to cities to relieve the increas- ing pressure upon hospitals was urg- ed tonight by Hon. Dr. Herbert Bruce of Toronto, Lieutenant -Gover- nor of Ontario, in an address to the Ontario Medical Association. Hospital expenditures could be sub- stantially reduced if such convales- cent homes were established, his Honor said, as from 30 to , 40 per cent. of the patient now in hospitals could be transferred to the homes and their recovery would probably be more rapid, as the purer air would be a factor, and noise would be less. The acreage surrounding convalescent homes of this type could be ueed to produce Supplies for the institution, and light employment might also be found for r nealescents, who would gain rapidly in the 'outdoors.

Revenue Up For Second Time Since 1929 Ottawa—It was only $2,500-:-orie grain of sand on the sea shore—but it brought -a wide gin of satisfaction to the face of Hon. R. J. Manion, Minister of Railways, That sum re- presented the gain in revenues of the Canadian National Railways for the ten-day period ending May 31, over the corresponding period a year ago. It Was the second time since July, 1929, and the first since October, 1931, .that the revenues of the Gov- ernment road showed an increase, and it was construed by Dr. Manion as another sign that Old Man De- pression finally was being tossed for a fall.
