BARLEY ISA^PLENDIDCROP Wheat Harvesting Will Be General In the North- West By August 15 A despatch from Winnipeg says : *'We have a splendid crop, in fait the best for many years," said An- drew Kelly, President of tho Grange <t Western Flour Mills Company, on Wednesday after- noon, on his return from a long trip by the C.N.H. to Edmonton, Saskatchewan and Regina. He is full of optimism at the prospects. "To come down to hard facts," said Mr. Kelly, "I saw barley being cut at many points. Barley harvesting will be general at the end of the week. It is a aplendid crop. I saw wheat turning color in many dis- trict, and there will be much wheat cut next week and wheat harvesting will be general by Aug- ust 15. The great bulk of the oat crop will al?x> be ready by that time. I saw little flax, but what I saw was good. The weather is kical for filling and maturing, and a few weeks more of it will see western Canada with the biggest yield of wheat she has over had. I base this on increased acreage and the gen- eral fine condition of the crop." ON EVENTS 1 NEWS 1 A PARAGRAPH HAPPENINGS FROM ALL OVEE THE GLOBE IN A NUTSHELL.

ARSON TRUST SCANDAL. Ciirberryiles Said to Be InTolvcd By Firebug's Confession. A despatch from Winnipeg eays: According to Provincial Fire Com- missioner Lindback, J. A. Marshall of Carberry has confessed to having set fire to Garland's store in that town three years ago. Marshal'. Commissioner Lindback P-tates, im- plicates A. E. Webb, and says that Webb offered him $100 to set fire to the store. Several other well- known Carberry people may he in- volved, and startling revelations are expected when the parties are brought to trial. A. E. Webb was arrested on Tuesday at Carberry on a charge of having instigated fires that occurred at the same time. He is being held at Portage la Prairie for trial. Marshall is also under arrest, and is confined in the Brandon Jail, where he is stated to have confessed every- thing. According to the daily papers, a prom- inent voung society girl of Toronto, spend- ing her holidays at a well known summer resort, ran away with a young man whom she had not known for more than ten days and got married. She wan immeli- ately taken home by her pareits. The next day her huxhand appeared in tho police court and the bridV father was preparing to institute proceeding** in an attempt to have the marriage annulled. This la one of many incidents reflecting; a sort of daredevilishnesu that is exhibit in? itself in Canadian society, but whi. h onlv in a modified form and rarely ee the light of day in the newspapers. Thanks to an obliging; Canadian P < c. it is not difficult to keep ihicli stories out of pri^t. this being ono of the outstanding dis- tinguishing characteristic*) of the news- papers of this country a compared to those of our neighbors to the routh.

The** conditions apply only to a certain small net. One wondere sometimes if it would* not be a good thing if Canada had one re.'l "yellow" newspaper which would go a'-cr these proceedings and bring them to pub- lic attention. Perhaps the fear of nub- licitv and the light of day wo'ild hn a vastly more repressing influence thin ha-e been the lawn of the land or reaped for morals. The U. 8. and Mexico. A good many people in Canada view with KUspiclon the conduct of the United States toward Mexico. It ia not cvide'it that there is any ground for this suspicion ex- cepting the feeling that the United Kta e bae not always been most considerate n its attitude toward Canada, and that i>' r- hapH if she paw a good chance to ab^rb Mexico she would not be averse to taking It Such critic* point out that the United Btatcs obtained tho Panama Canal rone by tactics that were not altogether fr- from criticism, that she hnn more recently obtained a protectorate over Nicaragua by the same methods and that she wu'd not bo averne now to cleaning up the man from the 49th parallel to the Isthmus of Panama by securing a statue in Mi'x'co.
