As soon as the necessity ftor incre ed production of foodSstuils was rc ‘zed by the several Governments the Allicd nations, immedi were taken to speed up fooed ‘on. That was no more than sense, At the present time ecconomists and financial at are agreed on the creased production of gold to the finance and commerce of t ,x'utiuns. At earlier stages in the war, a few were of the opinion that gold a3 a standard miglhrt be dispensed w ith, at least in some measure, but greater thought and experience have emphaâ€" sized the fact that the surest and cafest and most conrentent form of exchange, and the only dependable stabilizer of commerce and industry between nations is gold. There is now general recognition of the fact that to maintain the financial and commerâ€" cial integrity of the nations, (Gold is increasgingly necessary. Yet, toâ€" day, t*» production of gold is decreasing, and no effective steps have ‘been taken to right this undesirable condition. ‘The Government of Canada, for inâ€" stance, seems to be anxious but in WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26th., 1918 be‘nless mood, though Canada has imâ€" portant producing gold fields and others awaiting development.

Mines of WINDSOR HAS TASTE On Tuesday of last week four hunâ€" dred foreigners, chiefly Austrians and Russians, went down from F ord, ()m to Windsor to make a demonstration in favor of one of their number who had been arrested on a charge of inâ€" citing his comrades against the law regarding National Registration. The demonstration was of the same kind and style as the one here in March of this year, when C onsovitech was under arrest for seditious utterances. Had Consovitch receeived a â€" sentence in proportion to the injury to loyalty and order through his agitation, it is not likely that the aliens at W indsor would have attempted the demonstraâ€" tion last week. So long as they find that they can do such things withâ€" out m]ur\ to themselves, and so long as there is a premium on (lnalm alty, and special privileges for alieus in this ecountry, such disorders may Dbe expected. However, in the Windsor ‘ase, the city was well supplied with police at the time the demonstration took place. Not only had the city its own large foree of police, but there were also many Dominion police on duty. _ The result was that the, affarr was quickly and effectively handled. About half of the demontraitors were put under arrest, the balance fading away as quickly as possible. _ Of those arrested, about 100 were found to be withouit proper papers, so were given over to the military authorities under the Military Service Act. Many of those arrested had their pockets with L. W.W. and Bolsheviki OF BOLSHEVIKISM. y nave the proâ€" literature. It is interesting to note that many of ithe Austrians and Russitâ€" ans from here who were noticed in the Bolsheviki parade in Timmins on Mar. 14th, went to Windsor later. Indeed, for a time in April, Windsor seemed to be the chief cenire of attraction for aliens asking permission to travel from Timmins. Iroquois Falls will likely have the pick team of the visitors here on July 1st, and the contest for the prize may develop into a battle between the Paper Town and Gold Camp teams. Iroquois Falls is reported to have an unusually good battery. The lineâ€"up for Timmins will probably include the following players, with Appel pitching and Borland eatching :â€"C. Appel, W. Borland, I. K. Pierce, Claney, N. Raciâ€" cot, E. McCoy, Aspect, Burns, H. C. MeDonald, C. M. Auer, J. Deacon and Houston. SULPHIDE DYKE BEING TRACED NEAR SWASTIKA The use of sulphur in the manufacâ€" ture of high explosives has aroused reâ€" newed interest in the sulphide dyke in Otto: and Eby Townships, and. some oldâ€"time prospectors have gone in to look over the district. The dyke has been followed along for about two and a half miles in length and it is said to show a rich deposit of sulphide that promises rich returns in commerâ€" crial sulphur. When Mark Twain was editing t he "Virginia City Enterprise‘‘ a superâ€" stitious subscriber onee wrote that he had found a spider in his paper. Was it. good or bad luck? â€" Mark replied: Dear Subscriber: The finding of a spider in your copy of the Enterprise was neither good luek nor bad. The spider was merely looking over our pages to find out what merchant was not advertising, so that it could spin its web across his door and lead a free and undisturbed existence forever after.
