By means of the schoo!, which the natives were an%â€" tous to attend, and medical work, they were able to implant the gbspel story and have fohnd much encouragement by getting converts.

Living Cost Up OTTAWA, Bept. 14.â€"The average price of the weekly budget for a family of five in sixty Canadian cities rose to $11.41 at the beginning of August, as compared with $10.96 at the beginning of July, sccording to figures compiled by the Depattment of Labor. This covers 29 staple foods and an examination of the different Items shows that practically the enâ€" rtlre increase is accounted for by puâ€" tatoes and butter. The seasonal rise in these commodities has been accenâ€" tuated by the dry, hot summer Wholeâ€" sale prices show hardly any change between July and August. The con: tinued downward movement which began in May, 1920, has slowed up very comsiderably, and there is a dieâ€" position to consider that the liquidaâ€" ton in prices has been to a great exâ€" tent accomplished and that with good crops, improved transportation facilfâ€" ties and better financial conditons, there may be better demand in marâ€" kets which have been weak for over a year.
