Toronto Public School T/rustce Bourd has appointed a committee tc enquire whether or nut the strap does harm. The only harm we over knew of it doinjf «•».•< to the feeling's of the recipients. • • • Thirty-three hundred enumerators are at work thi.s week throughout Canada, eomprisinf; tlu- lists of vot- ers to be usi'd in the Dominion Elec- tion, which undt-r the law cannot be postponed lonKer than early next fall. The enumerators are to make the li.st in pairs. • « • Trime Minister Bennett i.s on tlis Atlantic enroute home. He has been Very busy while in Geneva and Lon- don, but he seems to thrive on work, and will have plenty of it, when he gets to Canada. Parliament, how- ever, will not m-eet till January .so that will be some respite. > • • There are 77,000 Canadian war vet- erans on pension and the avcrajfc pension is $220 a year. Not snoufjh for a preat many of those soldiers. There would be more funds available if the roll lould he cleared of all decoy Colonels who did not reach the from; at least, very many believe that to be the case. Rug-by football is at its height in Ontario now, and will soon be joinea by hockey. Saturday nif^ht will a- gain be hockey niirht in Ontario with the Toronto Maiile Leafs I'layini; tno.st of their home games those even- inps. Hockey has taken a Rveat fancy of the sport-iovintf public foi a number of years, as it is the world's fastest-movinff sport. • • • A Scottish correspondent tells a new one on an Aberdeen friend. The preacher was about to k" on a short vacation, and he made this intimation from the pulpit: "I shall be on a holi- day for the next month, and the ministers for the next four Sundays will be found haatring in the vestry.' This chap, says our Scotch friend ntay have a streak of Irish in hnn. • • • The Hydro Commission has dpcidoj. to carry its own insurance risks and depart froni the payinjf out of larj/re sums of money when it receives only a small jiortion in return. It was i-'vealed that in a five year term the liydro and paid out $0,50,000 in in- surance premiums, and had received : li}»l>tly less than a third of that a- ::i(!u;;t in elanus. It will pay Iht Conjmission to carry its own insur- ince, but it was a great racket whilt It Ia.stcd. * • • It would appear that the Depart- ment of F^ducation would have all llieir educational books for student study free from all errors, but such i.s not the case. In scanning the Junior History of Enffland we noticed that the snellinjj of one of the reign- inu houses of old England is spelled "Stewart" in nlace of "Stuart". It 's niislcadinjr to students, who would !o?;' nuirks if they spelled the name as in the History. The name wa- spelled that way intentionally, as it appears in another section the same. - he Department of Education should issue new books to replace those with the wrong spelling, to compensate for the grievous error made. â-  • • Just four months ago a Hamilton man was let out of Porusmouth pen- itentiary and Was recently sent back to serve another five years, alter he had been found guilty o.' stealing and receiving. It is cases like this on: that are a problem for the authorities to deal with adequately. The con- dition of the couniry today is against the successful return to a useful ex- istence of those who have served sent- ences for. wrong-doing, as V3ry few people wish to employ a man they know to have served penitentiary sentences. It is a problem that ha.- receivcd careful consideration from those interested in the return of these men to a useful occupation, but i^ apparently as far from a solution to- day as it ever was.

The' crop to- talled .M.UOO,0UU busheU. The Amer- ican experts were short 19,000,000 bushels in their estimate. Thereafter Miss Hind's crop esti- mates Were regarded with respect. As time Went on the crop reporting and jstimating service of the Manitoba Free Press which she developed, was recognized by the Canadian and American g'overnments, and the Corn 'l\ade of Liverpool, as one of the most consistently accurate services of the kind. Through this medium she exerted an influenco on the mar- ket of the world. human, and has kept her alert to many impressions that others might not feel. When she was sailing from Fort Churchill to England, one of the few occasions upon which she had nothinp it all to do but sit still and enjoy her- self, the captain and officers of the boat were greatly concerned for hei comfort and pleasure. "Surely madame must be lonelyâ€" the only woman on the boat?" they >vould say. Rut madame was not lonely. "I was not alone," she told aftei her returi). "The spirits of all th> early explorers, seamen, adventurers who came and went in the long ago still live in the gray mists of Hudson Bay. I could sense their presence around me. No, I was never alone â€" never lonely." MENACE OF LOW GRADE SEED The incident of the Duluth Grain Exchange had an interesting sequel Six years ago. Miss Hind visited Jul- ius Barnes in New York office, tt se.ure information regarding hi.- western experiences. "By the way," Barnes remark ;;d 'I have something that might inter- nist you." The "something" proved to be a file in which he had copies of every crop estimate she had made. From lUOl until U).3.3, Miss Hind continued the good work of making her crop estimates, with only one break â€" in 1912, the "wet season,' when the situation was too uncertain. Making these estimates involved a personal survey of the field â€" a stead- ily increasing acreage â€" in August, a vast amount of travelling by train, wagon, buckboard, horseback, on foot, in automobiles, over roads and trails good, bad and indifferent, as well a.' the c-o-operation of a network of cor- respondents. Through the columns of the Free Press and from the public platform, Miss Hind has wielded a powerful in- fluence in the general development of agricultural interests in. Western Canada. Authorities state that nc other individual has contributed sc largely to this great work. Throughout all her activities she preached the gospel of good farm- ing â€" with due regard for wise ccon omj ; of constant effort to improve the quality of grain and livestock; of soil cinservation. Nor was her vision limited to the field of production. She followed the products of farm and ranch on tl-.jir long journey over land and sea through all the stages of transporta- iio:i, all the proc'csses of milling, pack- ing, marketing, until they reached the consumer. The material side of life was not her only concern in this great gam? Without happiness, she believes, life is a mockery, and she has constantly urged the farmers of Western Can- ada to safeguard their happiness by looking ahead. Had her advice ir the past been heeded, mu;h of the hardship which has come about through inability to meet payments or high priced machinery during the past few years, might have been avoided. For many yc^ars Miss Hind strong- ly advocated the opening up of the old Hudson Bay trade route from Wit»;peg, via Fort Churchill, tt European port.s. Happy for her the day when this came to pass, and she determined to travel over it herself and see the possibilities of this north- ern outlet whidi her pen had so ably supported. That is "Cora's " way. She likes to see for herself. However difOiculties seemed to bar her way. No passenger boats .sail between Fort Clhurchill and the Old Country, and when she sought passage on freight boats, she was promptly and cour tenusly, but firmly rt C'uscd. The .li; had no a^comoilatirn for women the captains said with one accord. This merely strengthened her det.M- niination, a determination in which she had the support of the Winnipeg (â- rain Exchange whose members no- prei'iiito the part she has played i:i the agricultural development of West ern Canada and in securing the re opening cf the Hudson Bay route. Valuable Publicity Finally she secured passage on ar Italian boat, the captain of which w-as (piick to se,' the importance of a new port securing the publicity which she coulil give it. Time justified his wisdom. Through interviews given British publications, through her owr writings and lectures she has given the ro»«te such publicity as no_ othci traveller lould give it. FOND MEMORIES Holidays are already over, Vacationists have treked back 11o the noise and din Of city life. How many of you chaps Have been back To the little town .Where you were born? Hov/ many of you wended your way To the mound on mother's grave? Did you steal away from the crowd And slip away by yourself To the country graveyard? And sit for a time by mother's grave? And as you sat there Did the summer breeze Sing through the lone pine To your soul â€" as a requium ? And as you silently and reverently Closed the old cemetery gate, Did your hand cling To the rusty latch While you tried to see Through the tears. Tears from a heart That has older grow-n, Tears and emotions Tliiat tugged at your soul? Mothers never die! They live in our memory, Even while they rest Under the violet mound. How many of you city chaps. During the holiday that is gone. Went back to the village Where you were born And sat by mother's grave? How many of you, I wonder? â€"Mrs. A. C, Low grade seed is ti menace to the reputation of Canada In the export markets and a drug in the domestic market. The marketing of seeds in .4;eneral in the last three or four years ha:i been attended by serious difficul- ties and comparatively low prices to growers, but has at least taught the value of producing a high grade pro- duct. No. 1 seed has almost always sold at a profitable price, while low giade. seed has been unsaleable oc sold at a loss to the gtower. It should be the practice of every grow, er to save seed only from clean fields, so that it may be cleaned to grade No. 1. The only time a married man does a lot of talking is when he is away from home. IS IT CHEAP PUBLICITY? We would like to know definitely it the Henry government filled in the V ditches along the highways of the province' on the advice of departmen- tal engineers and if the engineers con- sidered there would be adequate drain- a.ire when these ilitches were filled On the other hand it would be satis- faction to know if the Hepburn gov- ernment is opening these ditches a- Kiiin on the advice of departmental engineers and whether the Hepburn engineers are the same men who served the Henry government. Till such facts are made known it will be impossible to judge whether highway ditches are being opened as a pre- cauticn to preserving the highway pavements or just as a cheap show such as the sale of government auto- mobiles in Qujen's Park. â€" .'Mliston Herald. PARENTS Give your Child this Advantage SOMETHING every parent of a growing child should know â€" a survey of 10,000 school children has proved that a typewriter, used for homework^ improves general school work enormously.
