The Daily Chronicle, a supporter of the premier, hoped that de Valera's intentions would prove wiser than his formulas, while the Daily Herald states that the king started the latest controversy by re- ferring to the Irish as "my people" ir a letter to the pope. UNLISTED STOCK MARKET Continued Dull This Week--Demand For Industrial Bonds. Toronto, Oct. 22.--The unlisted market the last week continued ex- ceedingly dull as far as stocks were concerned while a noticeable im- provement in the demand for Indus- trial bonds was noted. It has been quite apparent for some time that with the steady improvement which has been taking place in the muni- cipal bond market that the Indus- trial would follow suit. Conse- quently the demand which occurre@ last week found a market practically bare of offerings. It would appear that higher prices for all Industrial Bonds can be expected in the near ure. Algoma Steel 5's which a few weeks ago were freely offered around 41 without creating interest were this week in démand at 43 and sales were reported as high as 45. Tor- onto Power 5's moved up two points to 92-94. Ontario Pulp 6's recorded a slight improvement to 85 1-2--88. Imperial Oil reached a high point during the week of 98, rapidly fall- ing off to 94-96. Gunns Limited Preferred was in steady demand at 59 with offerings at 62 1-2. Alber- ta Pacific Grain Preferred narrowed to 78-79, afterwards widening to 78- 82... The feature at the close of the week was the demand which occur- red for both Riordan New Common and Preferred. The Common was quoted as high as 76¢ bid in 'this market with no offérings obtainable, while the Preferred closed at 3 bid, none offered.

THE RURAL CHURCHES DECLARED 10 BE DANG Eighty Baptist "Churches in Ontario and Quebec Clos- ed in 20 Years, St. Thomas, Oct. 22.---Movement of population from farm to city, de- flation of prices, frequemt exchange of farm property, often from Anglo- Saxon to foreigners and a "material ism as gross as that found in indus- trial centres," these things have played havoc with Baptist churches in rural Canada, according to the re- port of the Rural Church Committee, presented to the convention yester- day by Rev. O. E. Kendall. In the past twenty years, eighty such churches in Ontario and Que- bec had become extinct, he said. Others were dying. Some were dead, but not yet buried. In eight associations last year, forty-two rur- al pastors received stipends of omly $900. Forty-four others received between $900 and $1,200. Many of these pastors were found to be de- ficlent in training and lead D, and their vhurches had suff ac- cordingly in attendance and spirit- ual power. Remedies suggested by Rev. W. 8. Buckberrough, of Port Elgin, were: "Train our pastors for rural work. Pay them living stipends. Use laymen and laywomen to help them, Preach the grand old Gos- pel of Christ. Bring city preachers into the rural pulpits more fre- quently--if they will come.. Above all, stop using our rural churches as collection bureaus for a mass of or- ganizations. If those organizations cannot run their own financial busi- le 4 a ¥ v ness, let them go." 4 » CRISIS AGAIN Tai 'Party in Maritime Provincds. is | Solid Phalanx, He Declares. Ottawa, Oct. 22.--Expréssing a confident optimism as to the out- come of the election, particularly 80 far as the entire maritime prov- inces are concerned, Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, leader of the Liber- al party, has returned to Ottawa af- ter a month's tour which commenced at Toronto on September 17th, in- cluded meetings at Montréal and Sherbrooke in Quebec, weeks in the provinces down by the sea. In a statement to the Canadian Press, Mr. King c¢id that he hi found conditions in the maritime pro- vinces excellent from the Liberal standpoint. He and his companions had been more than everywhere. In the course of his tour, Mr. King sta'ed, he had ad- dressed about forty meetings, in ad- dition to large gatherings at railway stations en route, and at political as- semblies. It was estimated that tha number of peop.e addressed would appreximate 75,000. ' "In the three provinces, we were given every assistance by provinec'al governments,"" Mr. King stated. "The premiers of each of the provinces as- sisted us on platform, and members of their governments also took an ac- tive part in the meeiings. Every- where there was unlimited evidence of the fact that whatever divisions there may have been between Liber- als in the past are completely healad, and the Liberals in the maritime provinces are going into this fight as a solid. phalanx, determined to re- turn their candidates on December 6th, "A noteworthy feature of the dif- ferent meetings was the large attend- ance of the women and the young men, practically all of whom are for the first time taking part in an elec- tion on domestic issues. Their evid- ence of interest in the affairs of Can- ada, and their eagerness to gain a clear understanding of the problems of the day, show that the people are determined to make their voice heard in directing the affairs of the coun- try, now that the opportunity has ome to exercise the right denied them during the last few years." Priest's Warning Made Women Dress Modestly Montreal, Oct. 21.--In discussing women's dress, the Rev, Father Pla- mondon, 8.J., prefect of the Church of the Jesu, Bleury Street, sald to- dav: "There a great improve- ment in the mode of dresses worn by women, and I find no further cause for complaint." Five weeks ago, Father Plamon- don found it necessary to have no- tices posted in his church warning | the female portions of hig congrega- | tion to dress more modestly under | pain of denial of the sacraments or | expulsion from the church. ia | Woman Whips Baby With Montreal, a woman found whipping her 14- months-old baby with a leather sirap attached to a steel buckle, way re- ported to the Society for the Prog tion of Women and Children at their meeting last evening.

St. Thomas, Oct. 22.-- "Hands off our historic principles of entire sep- aration of Church and State," was the ultimatum virtually handed out by the Baptist convention to the Bishop of Algoma in response to a communication from his, Lordship suggesting that a committees of five from the Baptist Communion be ap- pointed to confer with similar com- mittees representative of other de- nominations in a round table confer- ence, with a view to agreeing upon a definite syllabus of religious in- struction in public schools. London Celebrates Trafalgar Day. London, Oct. 22.--The 116th an- niversary of the battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Nelson was celebrated yesterday in British naval circles.
