He is pastor, orator, en- | tertainer, scholar, and good fellow | all rolled into one and the Rotarians had a rare treat. Throughout his entire address he had the whole- hearted attention of his audience and held it with an ease that was re- | markable. On his left, as he stood at the head table was the Stars and, Stripes, the standard presented to | the local Rotary Club by the New | York Club, and on his right the Un- | fon Jack. As he was introduced the | gathering rose and sang "America." The opening remarks of the speak- er combined a clever and masterly il- lustration of the principle of ad- ministering lessons and making the pupils like it. Point of view, tact, and the use of names were discussed and exemplified in stories which kept the Rotarians and their guests rock- ing with laughter. Good-natured banter of the Very Rev. Dean Starr, friend of Dr. Giles, and guest of the club, handed out quickly and with lightning wit, added to the merri- ment. The Dean took it in good part RG WORKIN : NG : AT THEIR TOP SPEED ® Washington, July 26.--Mak- # Ing their greatest drive in anti- # clpation of an expected drought, ® bootleggers, now are smuggling % more than 1,000,000 cases of every month, according to fig- % ures made public today by om- % clals of the coast-guard ser- . % vice. : % The seriousness of this fig- : % ure of illicit liquor importations % is evidenced by the fact that # only 200,000 cases on an aver- | ® age were smuggled into the | % country during the Spring sea- . % son, it was pointed out. i oon A tow side remarks of 'tor's phrases are too good to go un- repeated: "Dean Starr combines the beauty of Apollo with the efferves- cence of Appollinaris"; "I am glad to see that even life in Kingston has not destroyed your, sense of humor"; "Tact is the unséfd portion of what you think"; "after they got through with him his face looked like a land- scape of perdition"; "Henry Ford has a brain like a pair of ice tongs, the heaviér the burden the tighter it holds."

Broad, straight and true his message went home to the large audience and every man went away feeling bet- ter. Past President Leman A. Guild, im moving a vote of thanks, referred to hearing Dr. Giles speak at Athens over twenty-five years ago, and said that he had never forgotten him. Ro- tanian Claude Gordon, the seconder, also referred with pleasure to hear- ing Dr. Gilles on many previous oc- casions.

ANOTHER BIG JOB FOR HENRY FORD May Get Him to Head Loan «to Reconstruct Qer- many. London, July 26.--The conferene- eg between the bankers and the poli- ticlans which began in earnest over the week-end are being continued this morning with the bankers en- deavoring to discover some way of exit out of the deadlock which ex- ists. 5 So far as can be learned no defin- ite progress has been made although many avenues have been searched and the British bankers seem in an unresponsive attitude to all the overtures made to them by French interests. It is now suggested that it is possible that other bankers and financial houses might be sounded and the name of Henry Ford has cropped out due presumably to his recent peace manifesto which has aroused considerable interest. The French are firmer than ever in their attitude against giving the proposed commission which is to be scheme power to dictate what sanc- tions shall be taken in case of wiltul German detault following the refusal of the British bankers to accept the suggestion that France should guar- antee the loan, i The French maintain that they are unable to understand why the fin ancial houses of Britain and America are willing to advance a colossal sum to Germany and yet are unwilling to trust France. Jn return the bankers point out that the credit of any coun- try which would take separate action would be likely to fall rapidly. The French declare that it is their belief that the bankers have set out delib- erately to wreck the Versailles Treaty.

Montreal, July 26.--Harvesting o? the grain crop in Manitoba will com- mence about August 20th, and in Saskatchewan and Alberta about August 25th, according to informa- tion received yesterday afternoon at general headquarters of the Cana- dian National Railways in Montreal. To handle this crop at least 40,000 harvesters will be required, and the west considers itself in a position to be able to supply about half this number. The remaining 20,000 will have to be recruited in the east. Details pertaining to the harvest- ing of the crop were practically com- pleted yesterday at a conference be- tween officers of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, the federal and pro- vincial governments and the Labor Board held in Winnipeg. There re- mains to be settled the final date upon which the harvester excursion rates will go into effect, but this final detail will be completed at a further meeting to be held in Win- nipeg on August 2nd. The settle- ment of this date will rest entirely upon the dates when the farmers of the west are in a position to accept harvest labor. Nothing further remains to done regarding the assembling of transportation equipment for the handling of these harvesters over the lines of the National System. Ap- proximately 400 cars of the latest type of colonist equipment are be- ing held in readiness for this move- ment, and the last of the new lunch- counter cars have been delivered. There are now sufficient of these lunch-counter cars, the largest of their type in service in Canada, to be Dlaca.one ou: every excursion. train, and as these cars can feed 350 pass- engers per hour, it is thought that feeding arrangements on these trains will be better than ever before. Tremendous reserves of grain cars have been assembled in Western Canada by the operating department and there will be no lack of facilities for the rapid movement of the grain to the head of the lakes once the harvest gets under way. - GOVERNOR SMITH HAS A FLING AT HEARST Democratic Party Does Not Albany, N.Y., July 26.--Governor Smith threw William Randolph Hearst's advice into the sea in a statement in answer to Hearst's de- mand for the nomination by the De- mocrats of Lieut.-Governor Lunn for governor, "I do not read any of Mr. Hearst's newspapers, because they are not al- lowed in the executive mansion or in any of the public offices of the state," says the statement, "but my attention has been called to Sun- day's edition because it contained a signed letter from Mr. Hearst him- eelf, in which he undertakes to ad- vise the Democratic party. "He attempts to say something about water power. He has no more understanding of that subject than the man in the moon. I am sure that the Democratic party will admire his literary effort, but it has no use for his advice. When it needs advice it will go to Democrats for it and not to either demagogues or crackpots." The statement is regarded as an open declaration of another war be- tween the governor and Mr. Hearst similar to the one which was waged two years ago when Mr. Smith was pominated for the office he now holds. Politicians here regard if as the first swing in the bout to eliminate the last murmur of revolt against the leadership of Governor Smith, over New York state Democrats, a leadership which he announced form- ally in his speech to the Democratic CPR 00OPPPOIPIOOIIOS ARMY OF MOTHS FILLS GUTTERS OF EDMONTON Edmonton, Alta., July 26.-- Edmonton folk are just begin- ning to realize how many bil- lions of caterpillars visited the city in the spring.

Quebec, July 26.--That the suspicions of the federal au- thorities, regarding the expected attempts of a number of settlers arriving at this port recently to cross the border and enter the United States illegally, were fully justified, is contained in reports from reliable source to-day that several of these set- tlors have been apprehended while trying to enter American territory.

Detalls as to the exact place where they were taken into custody are lacking at the pres- ent time, but, according to certain lpcal officials, they were arrested a short distance from United . States territory and while they were still on the Canadian side of the border. That the offence is a serious one is beyond all question, acs' cording to officials here this morning, for it was pointed out that these men will not only be deported from Canada, but will also be charged with ob- taining money under false pre- tences, Canada Climbs to Place * As Biggest Gold Producer New York, July 26.--Canada by 1926 will displace the United States: ag second among the gold-producing | countries of the world, in the opin- fcn of Louis D.

Pay Debts. Topeka, Kans.,, July 26.--Wkeat has replaced ofl as the source of rapid wealth in Kansas. Poor tenant farmers who have struggled for years, many of them in the south-western part of the - state who were compelled to appeal to the public for seed wheat loans' last fall to seed this year's crop, to- day find themselves wealthy, Many others who had purchased farms with small payments and who ex- pected to have mortgages hanging over these farms for years, are in a position to pay off those mortgages, buy more and, build new houses and barns, or purchase motor cars and other things they have denied them- selves for years. Kansas' unprecedented wheat crop has produced all this wealth, which is expected to increase with rising prices. Hundreds of farmers, anticipatng price increige from poor crops in Canada and other wheat producing countries, are holding their wheat for the gain they feel sure will be theirs by not marketing it at once. The contract with last year's con ditions, is especially pronounced in the south-western part of the state, where farmers of fourteen counties last year appealed to grain dealers, chambers of commerce and other or-. ganizations throughout the country for assistance in buying the seed necessary to make another crop pos- sible. These fourtcen counties would have raised millions of bushels of wheat this year even though there had been no assistance, for there werg many farmers who were able to Ww the had 'sea pes A planted, however, through the money contributed by members of the Chi- cago, Kansas City and Wichita boards of trade, chambers of com- merce and other organizations of business men, -- S---- PULP EXPORT HIGHER.

During that year, they totalled 1,332,106 cords valued at $13,608,361 as against 1,281,298 cords valued at $12,284,316 in the year previous. What action if any, the govern. ment will take on the report of the royal commission which recently investigated the pulp wood situation has still to be determined. The com- mission, after dealing exhaustively with forest resources and urging strongly the need of measures of conservation declined to express any opinion on the question whether or not an-embargo should be placed on the export of pulpwood. Policy in that regard, the commission held. was for the government to decide.
