X I'lUC.SIDKNCY Berlin, Aug. r.8. â€" The National Liberal' are booming Field Marshal von Hindenburg for the Presidency in the firj^t elections to be held under the new constitution. The directorate of the party urges the obliteration of party lines in the initial election for President of the new Republic, and calls upon the voters to rally round the man whose name hi'.s been an "epitome of faith- ful .•service to the country in war, in victory and in the hour of need." I'RESENTFI) A BIIILE TO THE PRINCE OF WALES Upon his recent visit to Toronto his Roya! Highness the Prince of Wales graeiou.sly accepted the gift of a Bible from the Upper Canada Pible Society. The prese'itation was very fittingly made at the Exhih'tion grounds, where for many year.s the socitty has had a booth for the disposing of Bibles to visitors at the Krhihition. The Bible was presented by Dr. N. W. Hoylcs, K.C., LL.D., president of the society, in a U'w well chosen re- marks. CANADA'S WELCOME GRATIFIES BRITAIN "People of the Dominion Are Surpassing All Expectations." A despntch f "om London says: â€" All London newspapers are featuring the extraordinarily enthusiastic welcome the Prince of Wales is receiving in Canada. The Westminster Gazette says: â€" "No one ever doubted that the Princ* â- would receive such a welcome; his position, his personality and the part he played in the struggle wherein the Canadians bore so great a share were sufficient to assure that. But the people of the Dominion are sur- passing all expectations by the hearti- ness of their welcome and by the keen pleasure they are obviously taking in the Prince's visit. In the midst of all these manifestations of public in- terest and of his own popularity, the Prince is bearing himself well, dis- playing that quiet courtesy and mod- esty which have already endeared him to the people at home." .â€" « WHICH ROAD? Which road? This is the question every country community Is facing to-day. In OUR community there are only two kinds of people. And they travel on Just TWO roads. There are the "HOME TOWN patriots" and the "Out-of-Town patrons." There Is the "Trade at Home" road and the "mall order" road. WTiIch class are YOU in? Wliat road are YOU taking? It should be EASY to decide. Every time we fail to patronize HOME IN- TERESTS we are boosting an outsider. Every time we take the mail order route we are boycotting cur home town. Which ROAD? The only answer for US is the ROAD TO THE RIGHT. LEADING MARKETS Breadstuffa.

A despatch from LondonN says:â€" .\ terrible story of the martyrdom of the Christians of Northwest Persia is told ir. the Daily News. It is nar- rated by one cf their number. Dr. Yonan. Soon after the war began. Dr. Yonan says, the Russians came to Urumyah, in the province of Azar- baijer, and induced the Christians from Assyrian battalions to fight against the Turks. There was a bat- tle in Urumiyah in February, 1918, in which the Ch'i-.tians were victori- ous. After this chj heroic, but small. Christian force fought fourteen bat- tles with the Turks and Persians and routed their enemies. But no hel[; came from the allies and the defeat of the Armenians cut off the Chris- tians from the Syrians. By the enc of July, 1918, their ammunition wa.- exhausted, and the Turks were at th« g.'tes of Urumiyah. Xhe Christiani who dwelt at Salmas, a fertile plain on the north side of Lake Urumiyah had been massacred and flight wai the only course left to those of Ur umiyah. So 75,000 men, women and childret left their homes, in a vast procession taking with them such propertv as they could collect huiTiedly.

The carpets vary in size and have all been made in a British factory during the past three or four years. "Housewives' Shoulder." Doctors have been puzzled by numerous cases with symplcms re- semblinfT rheunintism among patients ' who have not hitherto suffered with rheumatism. The sufferers are nearly ' all married women and the paius ot . the new uilment are confined to the shoulder.
