TD FUIBIBTOH ADVAHOB. The Quiet Observer :^ b Ontario Crops Good Anticipations of the orojA in Ontario continue to be favorable. Essex be- gan the fall wheat harvest we«k of July 12, and though the straw is not heavy the grain yield is good. The abundant rain has promoted the second growth fodder. Alfalfa in particular Is described as making tremendous growth. The rain has been excellent for root crops, but for weeds also, so that much hoeing has been necessary but not always available. Potatoes are likely to be a good crop. Early toma- toes came in at $3 a basket, and the earliest run of green peas ever made for the Lambton Packing Co. was re- ported on June 29. All the first crops ' appear to have been good in spite of some locaUdisasters. Norfolk reported yields of strawberries at from 8,000 to 10,000 boxes an acre. The country as a whole never looked so fresh and flourishing and if warm weather con- tinues through the harvest period On- tario will have cause for another jubi- lant Thanksgiving. 1^ Leading Strings for Leaders If we are to believe the leading party newspapers the end of coalition government has not only arrived, but a new era of party government has begun in federal politics. The signs to be relied upon are the installation of Hon. Mr. Meighen as prime minister, and the withdrawal of Hon. Mr. Bow- ell from the government. Which is an- other way of recognizing Mr. Meighen as par excellence a Conservative, and Mr. Eowell similarly a Liberal. The Conservative press does not appear to be perturbed over this, but there ia some division of opinion in the Lib- eral papers who do 'not think that the prominence given Mr. Eowell is com- patible with due party respect to Hon. W. L. M. King. There need not be any difficulty in determining the merits of the one or the other until they have come into competition and ij; has not yet appeared that any competition ex- ists between Mr. King and Mr. Eow- ell. The latter has a considerable rec- ord of political and public service be- hind him. Mr. King has not yet at- tained to such eminent office and his political service has been of a differ- ent character. It is not among the lead- ers but among the followers that divi- sion may most reasonably be looked for. In view of the coming election, whether it be one year or two years off^ the rank and file are more anxious about who is likely to be successful as a leader than the leaders are them- selves. After all, the people may have more to say about it all than the poli- ticians, the papers, or the leaders on either aide. erals of the Legislature passed a reso- lution aAing for the reorganization of the Hydro Electric Power Commission. The municipalities have regarded it as an attack on the man who has served them faithfully for 17 years and they have rallied to his defence, and called upon him to accept the offer of a nomination to the Legislature made by the constituency of North East Toron- to. The object of most of this is to get the Hydro Electric projects into [julitics so that patronage may be dis- pensed in the recognized way. Should Sir Adam agree to sit for North East Toronto it will be for the purpose of keeping the Hydro system out of poli- tics. To put it under political centrol would mean its ruin. The municipali- ties, which are chiefly coucerned, are well aware of this. Apparently, how- ever, to keep Hydro out of politics. Sir Adam must be in politics, and should he re-enter the Legislature, stu- dents of provincial politics regara him as the biggest figure in Ontario atAhc next election. Another Valuable Product Amber has been discovered at Cedar lake, eighty miles southwest of 'I'he Pas, Manitoba, adding one more to the valuable products of the country. Hith- erto the only thing approaching amber and found in quantity has been the amber-like resin known as chemawinite or cedarite, found on the Saskatche- wan. John Murray, former editor of the Canadian Mining Journal, reports a plantiful supply scattered about the sand the mud of the lake. Amber has been found ou the shores of the Baltic and North Seas, but chiefly on the promontory of Samland. This am- ber has been broken off the deposits, in the ocean bed. Pit amber is dug from blue clap strata. This true amber is technically known as succinite, and differs in hardness from other fossil resins. It gets its name from yielding on dry distillation succinic acid. Am- ber is used for beads and other ob- jects, and very largely for pipes. Among about a dozen varieties of am- ber, Simetite or Sicilian amber is one of the most important, but in recent years Burmite, as Burmese amber is known, has been largely used. Like everything else, amber has trebled in value since the war, but before this its vnlue had greatly increased. The discovery in JI"uitoba is tli.refore im- portant. Amber was kuowii as electron to the Greeks and from iis properties we derive the name of electricity. Canada and Westminster An appeal has been sent out by the Dean of Westminster Abbey for $1,- 250,000 for the preservation of the venerable pile which is threatened, as it has been tor many years, with de- cay and destruction. A great deal has been spent upon renovation and re- newal, but more drastic treatment is still necessary. It has been found nec- essary to underpin the whole of the foundaluius of St. Paul's Cathedral, owiur; to the construction of under- grouud railways and other works, which have sapped the original base. Winchester Cathedral has just uoder- gone similar renewals, and it is prob- able that Westminster requires some- thing of the same kind as well as ren- ovation of the superstrueture. It is difficult to think of any other building in the world as containing so rich ami hallowed memories as Westminster. At all events, for the British people. It is the shrine of all shrines. To Cana- dians it has the direct interest, as the Dean points out, of having been the repository of thirty or forty flags dur- ing the war of Canadian corps. They were draped over the monument of General Wolfe, and the Dean hopes that the Canadian government will send a couple of colors to be a per- petual adornment of Wolfe 's monu- ment. Would it not be a fitting trib- ute to place the colors of the Princess Pats in this hallowed place f The Hydro and Politics or not, many people regard the ap- pointment of a commission to investi- gate Sir Adam Beck's Hydro Badial Commiseion as a reflection on Sir Adam Beck. The Farmers' Sun call* on Sir Adam to resign. The provincial Lib- Hydro's Incredible Success Details of the financial position of the municipalities in connection with the Hydro Electric Power Union shows the most gratifying progress and the most satisfying conditions. The twelve pioneer municipalities were reported on some time ago and now 31 others which have been seven years on the Hydro switches show their combined assets as $1,880,552.50, with a net debt of $697,578.55. This means a dollar of assets for every 37 cents liability, and only one-third of the life time of the debentures has elapsed. In addition, the cost of domestic electric service has been lowered by 37 p.c. and of com- mercial service by -±1 per cent. The average lighting rate today is 4.5 cents, as against an average in these 31 municipalities of 8.98 before Hydro was established. These calculations have beeu verified by commissions and experts already, but it might be well for the satisfaction of the corporations to have them investigated again. The municipalities are satisfied. The peo- ple are more than satisfied, but, ac- cording to some critics, where every- thing is so satisfactory there is lik.'ly to be something wrong. It does not seem in the nature of things political that Hydro power should be such a tre- niendous and profitable success, and show a credit balance of $512,742,315 among 31 municipalities without some- one getting pickings out of it. This is the sentiment behind the desire for in- vestigation and it does more credit to our legal than to our benevolent in- stincts. that British sympathi^^^ers woulu stand aloof. There is not the slightest doubt if the British troops were withdrawn the result would be a civil war which would make a Mexican revolution look like a Boy ^Scout parade. The Sinn Feiners are doing what Germany and some other people have done â€" pre- sumed on British clemency, good sportsmanship and sense of decency. It Is obvious that De Valera and his Sinn Fein following possess none o^ these qualities. Whiskey in Irish Crime It should not be forgotten that the outbreak in the city of Derry in wliicli 8 lives were lost originated, to quote a local Irish paper, in !i driinkeu squabble between Unionists and Na- tionalists at the juucliuu of Long Tow er street and Upper Fountain street, these two street ends being only sep- arated by the thoroughfare of Bishop street close to Bishop's Gate, and the scene of bloodshed for many years dur- ing the periods of rioting. Men armea with revolvers and rifles afterwards came into conflict, and before the mili- tary could intervene iveral lives were lost." Very little stress is laid at any time, and usually no mention is maae of tiie part tliat liquor plays in Irish rioting. The Sinn Feiners themselves understand this and some efl'ort has beeu made to curb the traffic. But tlie liquor interests are very deeply seated in Ireland and have a much larger in- fluence in Irish politics than is gener- ally understood. It would be practical- ly impossible to generate the heat and inflame the passions to the depths of brutality which Irishmen have dis- played during recent occurrences with- out the stimulus of whiskey. This is very well kuown to the revolutionary agencies who take advantage of this weakness to precipitate disturbance and create conditions they deem favor- able to their aims. JANE /^WWAK »k«iM* M eOlDWYrt PIOTIBES She Plays Opposite Tom Moore in "The Great Accident." THE CARE AND FEEDING OF CHILDREN By ELINOR MURRAY ^^Registered According to Copyright Act. Occupation or Civil War Ireland and Irish affairs appear to be moving en to a definite catastrophe of one kind or another. Everybody recognizes an impossible situation. Yet one side is too dastardly and the other too proud to make any overtures. The unfortunate people whose only desire is to live at peace can find no comfort in either side. The Britisli Labor men who voted to require the govi^'rument to withdraw the soldiers from Ireland wero declared by Sir Hamar Green- wood not to understand the situation. They were there not to fight, not to terrify nor to impose martial law,, but simply to re-enforce the police in pro- tecting peaceable citizens. Perhaps the Labor men desire to see tno ffruuna left clear tor Irishmen of opposite con- victions to fight it out, like the Kil- kenny cats. It is either civil war or British occupation. Thare may be doubt in some minds as to the result if the Irish people were left entirely to themselves, but there is no doubt in Ireland. It would be a fight to the finish. American sympathizers imagine their side would win. But which side! There are as many American sympa- thizers for the north as for the south, and as much help would go to ow; as to the other. Nor is it to bo supposed Old Remedies for New Maladies It is not long since Emma Goldman and Mrs. Philip Snowden recorded their abhorrance of Bolshevistic meth- ods, and to these are now added Tom Shaw, Labor M. P. for Preston. He has • ' no use ' ' for Lenin, but much sympathy for the "100,000,000 of de- cent, self-respecting people that Bus- .sia contains. ' ' His accounts of the food he had seen the Eussian workers eat- ing, and the state of affairs generally, conveyed his own impression that those people wero slowly starving and suffer- ing all the time. He is convinced that all the military loaders are of a Kind, Denikin as bad as Lenin and Kolehak as bad as Denikin. The militarist craze is not dead in Europe yet and Tom Shaw found it at its worst in Poland, he asserts. There the swashbuckler is as rampant aud as arrogant as ever in Germany or Austria. Lloyd George's proposal of an armistice to Soviet Bus- sia for the benefit of Poland was given -cant consideration, but if Eussia de- termines to press the Poles beyond their own frontiers the armistice pro- posal contained a warning that the Al- lies would assist Poland in defending their territory, and this will have to b.; made good or the League of Na- tions discredited. Behind all the fight- ing aud intrigue there is the fear, quite openly warranted by German doc- laratious, that a Eusso-Germau alli- ance may be effected which will once u'oro partition Poland and dominate both Europe and Asia. Perhaps this fear tends to promote the fulfilment cf the desire for commercial relations bitween Great Britain and Eussia. It may seem pitiful that the world's reli- ance ou peace is through the resump- tion of commercial relations, but Eu- rope is in sucli a demoralized state and revolution is so much the order of the day that any straw is snatched i(t tliat offers hope of stabilizing a world influx. Commerce may be the straw, or it m.iy be something else, but statesmen in view of a continent ci'straught are willing to resort to any oil remedy that is suggested. The trouble is, according to some, that they will not listen to tlie {jrescription of anv new ones.

I haven 't much use for the trainer vrho declares a dozen times a dav: "I'll tell your fatherl" This is the point where many mothers fail. They should be absolutely su- preme in the molding and training of the growing boys and girl^, and yet they weakly give the children the im- pression that at times they are not capable of filling their position, and must appeal to the great unknown quantity â€" father. It is usual for father to leave home early in the morning and return about six at night. This, and some extra hours on Saturday and Sunday are the only times he sees his family. How can he be expected to know his children well enough to have anything to do with their disciplining/ Father's part con- sists in encouraging and advising moth- er, never in interfering. When a woman is trying to train two or three children â€" yes, even one is enough to keep her pretty busy â€" she iias not much time left on her hands to think about some "rights" that she is told she has not. She thinks that the privilege of motherhood, and all that goes with it, is a pretty big one. Of course, some women don't, and they have a right to that opinion. But most women who are normal women and have red blood in their veins do think so They feel that motherhood is -i pretty good job, aud a good one. Because a woman does not want to vote, or does not belong to a dozen clubs, or does not play bridge and be- cause she thinks her greatest work can be done in the home instead of out of it, because she cannot find time for anything other than her home duties ask of her, such a woman is not neces- sarily "old-fashioned" or "behind the times." It may be that she is more wisely abreast of the best things of the day,'and a vital part of them, than the woman who thinks of her as ' ' out of date." OLD JAPAN DISAPPEARING. Japau is so fast adapting and adopt- ing not only western cnstoms and man- ners, but western architecture, as well, that the traveler who wishes to see onythiug Japanese must get out of the cities aud off the beaten track. Stand- ing on the Ginza, Tokio's maiu thor- oughfare, the stranger will bo amazed at the variety of fashions that will pass along before him. A geutlemau in evening dress is followed by another who wears a frock coat and a bowler hat, and by still another robed in na- tive haori and halcama, canopied by a top hat, and sporting an expensive caue or umbrella. Behind these strolls a man in overalls, followed by one ia a yet more mongrel costume â€" a suit ot white cotton underwear, over which is a cotton kimono and no shirt. All this ;s immensely comical, but the Japanese take it as a matter of course. The Japanese women, however, are free from these Eurasian indiscretions in dress and habit, preserving as yet their graceful native costumes. NE'VTEB TOO LATE TO MEND. That character and ability, like mur- der, will out in spite of handicaps, has been proved over and over again by history. For instance: Gladstone gave no evidence of unusual ability as a boy. Napoleon stood forty-second in his class at the military academy, but who ever heard of the other forty-one f Parwin, the scientist, could never master any language; his father ac- nsed him of being interested only in dogs, shooting and rat-catching, and said he would be a disgrace to the family. Henry 'Ward Beecher, as a boy, was a "poor writer, a miserable speller, with a thick utterance and a bashful reticence which people took for stolid stupidity. Grant had a dismal time as a tanner and a farmer, and found himself in distinguished military service. Area of British Empire. The total area of the Britisli Empire ia three timee larger than the United States. The British Empire and its ter- ritories have an area of 11,373,793 square miles, while the United States and its territories have 3,743,318 square miles. Lesson V. August 1.

According to Beecher, this event happened in the twenty-second year of David's reign. The ark was a chest made of acacia, overlaid with gold inside and out. It contained the commandment tables of stone, a quan- tity of manna and Aaron 's rod. For nearly four centuries it was at Shiloh, north of Jerusalem. At the time of the judges, Eli's corrupt sons carried it into battle with the Philistines, who captured it and kept it seven months. It brought calamity until returned. Verse 12 The ark symbolized divine presence. Obed-edom was a Levite. Verse 13. This time the requirements of the law were fulfilled. The ark was in charge of Levites (vs. 1-11). They remembered L'zzah and were careful. Verse 14. Women were the usual dancers in the Orient. David's joy and enthusiasm expressed itself in this way. Verse 15. The future looked bright, hope ran high, and a kingly king was leading them forward. Verse 10. Michal, David 's wife, had been separated from David by Saul, and had married another man. After Saul 's death David compelled her re- turn. Here they seem permanently estranged. Sep also verses 20-23. Verse 17. The old tabernacle re- nained at Gibeon (1 Chron. Iti: 39; 21: 29; 2 Chron. 1: 3). The ark had bei-n shifted from place to place, but here David pitches a tent for it in Jtrusalem to await the building of the temple. Verses 18, 19.

A man who had been disposeii to rail at churches came back to his home town after an absence of several years, and let it be known that he had become a Christian. He had been en- gflged in laying off and building up towns in the Southwest.

FEW MOTORISTS GET MAXIMUM TIRE MILEAGE Nearly 40 per cent, of the tires manufacturo<l are junked before they deliver the maximum mileage built into them. Poorly aligned wheels, caused by side pressure against curbs, cause tread wear after from 100 to 200 miles of running. One of the commonest abuses is undcr-inflation, which causes fabric breaks. Every motorist should provide himself with an air gauge to test the pressure frequently. Tread cuts are experienced by every motorist. It is impossible to avoid sharp stones or rutty roads, which pierce the tread and sometimes the fabric. For small cuts the best treat- ment is tire putty, while for the larger vulcanization dhould be done. When an under-inflated tiro strikes a sharp stone the rubber gives, but the fabric does not. Perhaps several or all of the plies are punctured. The tire may not blow out at the time, but may later. To avoid along-the- road troubles and delay outside pro- tection aud rim-cut patches should be part of every car's equipment. As important us the casing, the tube should be given attention. 'When a new tube is placed in position enough talc should be used so that it will not chafe and stick to the casing when heat is generated. Too much talc will harm the tube. Chains tliat are adjusted too tight will tear the casing; they should be loose enough to creep. Storing a car where the tires will come into con- tact with oil should bo avoided, for it lias a deteriorating effect on rubber. Driving on car tracks is bad, as the burden of weight on a small portion of the tire will pull the tread loose. Kipling's Travels Hudyard Kipling makes geography a sport as he makes history a romance, and his "Letters of Travel," recently issued by the Macniillans of Canada, carry one on three groat personally conducted tours, three swinging jour- neys, one from Japan through the Uni- ted States, taken leisurely in spots; one through Canada twelve years ago: and one five years later through Egypt. The revival of these articles should <lo something to strengthen Kipling's fame as a prophet as well as an en- trancing journalist. For these pages have many prophecies and they have come and are coming true. It is worth going through the book to pick out these forecasts. The Canadian section will of course interest all of us most. Kipling appreciates the limitations of the immigrant. "But two years in Canada and one run home will make liim free of the Brotherhood as it does anywhere else." There is a shrewd note from a suporwoman 's criticism of female teachers. "A man's instiuct is to teach a boy to think for himself. If a woman can 't make a boy think as she thinks, she sits down and cries. A man hasn't any standards. He makes 'em.

Nickel in Canada Canada Has Almost a Monopoly in One of the Most Useful Min - erals in the World, i^ jj The bright and neat glitter of uten- sils in hardware and electrical windows is to the pedestrian a continual re- minder of one branch of the thousand uses of that indispensable anti-corro- sive metal called nickel. Perhaps it may not be generally known that Can- ada is today the foremost world pro- ducer of a mineral now in universal ili'mand. It is tiO years since the famous sea rave between .1 French and a British ' ' wind-jammer ' ' in southern seas for the possession of the Island of New Caledonia â€" a race which was won by the Frenchman, who forthwith planted the flag of the Third Empire on the then dominant source of the world 's supply of nickel. Although it was only two years after that episode that nickel was found in quantities in On- tario by a surveyor named Murra.v, nothing was done to develop the in- dustry until the building of the 0. P. E. in 1883. During the opening: np of a cut west of Sudbury in that y^ar, a deposit of nickel was exposed, which led to tlic development of the famous Murray mine. Although this mine ;ias been worked steadily since 1889, }j^;is ostimntcd to contain at thisi (J6y sOBue 9,000,000 more tons of ore. " 'Vi, This discovery on the C. P. R. rjaht- of-way led to a rush of prqapec^g, and was rapidlj' followed by 'fevawp- inent of other mines. Today the com- panies owning or operating minea.in the Sudbury district sot the proven contents of their field of work at 70,- 000,000 tons, with probable and possilile reserves of another 80,000,000 tons. Nb such vast deposits are known in aiit- other country in the world. New Calbr donia can only claim for her deposi^B a content of 000,000 tons. (j After long effort by the Dominitm government to compel the refining S nickel in Canada, instead of sending it o.it of the country to be refined, tlierp have now been cstablislied two thofj- oiiglily up-to-date plants, one at Poif; (''iborne. Out., and one at Desclienes The utilities of nickel are enormous. One lins only to reflect upon the nu- merous niniiiifacturcd products into whose composition nickel enters, to re- alize the coniiiiercial value of this pro- duct in which Canad;i has almost a monopoly. Third Party Nowhere Hope of forming a third pajty of any formidable kind in the United States disappeared when Senator La Polletto announced his inability to ac- cept the platform adopted by the Com- mittee of Forty-eight. La Follette was willing to accept the platform or tne minority report, but the delegates were not. The Single Taxers withdrew, the World War Veterans proved dissen- tient, the Labor group carried its point, and the leaders of the Forty-eight de- cided on a separate organization. . It is one of the weaknesses of American democracy that it has not learned co- operation. There is individualism plus. What is needed is the steady coalescing spirit of the British democracy which agrees to carry one point at a time. The American democracy is childish, every little party refusing to play at all if it can "t have its game choseit first. At any rate there will bo nothing to divert attention from the main con- test between the two Ohio candidates. This will apparently develop into a competition of how most creditably to get into the League of Nations. Suffrage Paper Kesiunes.
