completing arrangements for travel accomoda tions for 54 united church mission aries who leave for distant lands within the next three months the plans involve provision for ocean voyages as well as cross country journeys to remote island stations m the other day we read an article says the fergus newsjrecord which claimed that modern transportation had been of no benefit since man kind had less leisure than before instead of taking a man where he had to go in less time and thus giv ing him more to spare at the end of the trip men are simply going more than ever if leisure is the chief aim of man the coittention is undoubtedly correct nearly all of us who have good health could do with more leisure than we now possess unless we happen to be out of work the trouble is that we do not value leisure highly enough to make an effort to secure it we could have more if we really wanted it instead we prefer to be on the road more of the time iwith the mistaken impression that a change is as good as a rest a number of tribune subscribers in western canada live iu the ilel- fort district within a few hundred miles radius of tisdale sask mrs james whltson of sylvanla the first town north of tisdale was good enough to send us a copy of the tisdale recorder when renewing her paper which tells of the excellent crops iu that district tisdale is 80 miles southeast of prince albert and is the centre of a good mixed farming country the local papers report on the crop says iu part while it is regrettable that crops generally throughout western cana da are poor this season there can be no discounting the fact that this district and the northern area which includes the carrol ltiver valley is again holding its own and is proud of having the best crops in the three prairie provinces cutting is well under way and it is a pleasing picture to gaze upon some of the fields studded with heavy stooks of the golden grain all fields are not alike some are better than others it is true and

the wheat market during the past week has been some what featureless values continuing with various ups and downs at levels from ten to fifteen cents a bushel below the high points recently at tained cutting and threshing of the west ern crop are proceeding rapidly some reports of every good yields from points in all three provinces are reaching the city there is a tendency to play these up in the press and possibly also to give them an exaggerated importance in private reports possibly in reaction from the extra pessimism of reports of a few weeks ago it is believed that some of these reports sent to new york and to liverpool hewe created a false impression that after all canada mav turn out a fair sized prop an im pression that later will have to be corrected harvesting is early harvesting owing to the rapid maturing of the crop and the heat and dryness of recent weather is re markably early likely to result in a great leal of vylioat reaching market in the early part of september the chief bear factor in the market is now fear as to whether our market already burdened with the carryover of more than 100000000 bushels of wheat can absorb the extra load without weakening our carry over is hanging on longer than waa ex pected and our new crop is coming along at an earlier date there is a certain amount of apprehension even among those who arc convinced that much higher wheat prices are due later in the season as to how the market will behave in the immediate future if it should prove that the market ing rush in the united statub has to a certain extent subsided an ele ment of strength would be added to the situation the federal farm board has been urging united states farmers to hold back their wheat tor later higher prices which its statements all but guarantee but whether it is higher world prices or higher prices in the united states only is not made clear in the mean time farmers continue to offer wheat at prices that meet the idea of eur opean buyers some 20 to 25 cents a bushel below current canadian prices and a certain amount of busi ness is being transacted prices arc maintained canada on the other hand is suc ceeding in maintaining her quoted prices at a jiigh level but is doing practically no business eastern terminals remain clogged with wheat great lakes vessels continue idle and the terminals at the head of the lakes are still so full of last years grain that it is difficult to see w the new crop is to be put when it begins to move our wheat is still being held in the country because we will not sell it at prices which europe is yet prepared to offer if our prices should break to an extent that would permit wheat to move freely to market there would be a break in distant futures as well as nearby but at the same time higher prices later would be made more likely by getting some of our wheat forward to a marlet and out of the way contractor is ill commercial apple crop in the province of nova scotia

stouffville ontario phone 7001 four little children ranging rron for mouths to live years are dead at a farm home in aloevia the parents went away and left them asleep iu the house the only explanation of the trag edy is that the older child walking from his- sleep came down stairs and reached for the match box when the fire was noticed there was no chance to reach the children and their charred remains were tak en from hie ruins of the building there may have been very good and sufficient reason why four child ren of that tender age should be left alone in the house but the rea son would have to be very pressing and imperative before it could be justified chldren of that age arc not re sponsible they do not know the cause of tragedy nor are they im pressed with the results of negli gence no one cares to draw deducations in the face of sa great a tragedy but it is not passible to ignore the plain fact that four small children alone in a house is a very dangerous prac tice
