Reglna, Sask. In the midst of the twine selling season, wholesale twine dealers expect the biggest sale on re- cord. Retail dealers throughout the prorlnee are now securing supplies from wholesalers and a twine famine may be feared only in districts where retailers have failed to buy sufficient supplies. It is estimated that 25,- 000,000 pounds of binder twine will be distributed from Regina alone. The amount used in Saskatchewan! year will be about Weekly Market Report Edmonton, Alta.

Aristocracy and Proletariat Committee to Coordinate Mingle in Summer Colony Canada's Air Programmes SINN FEIN LEADER IN FREE STATE CUSTODY In a summer community at Little- ' stone, Kent, ia just now one of the most democratic gatherings of Eng-' fish lads ever tented under the same canvas, says a London despatch. For here is the Duke of York's camp for boys whom he has brought together from Eton, Harrow and many other famous schools, and boys from coal- fields, shipyards, brass foundries and other industries. It might be called the Duke of York's four hundred half aristo- cratic and half proletarian. This is the third summer that this interesting experiment has been carried out, and it has become so successful that un- doubtedly it will grow. the boys left London they The increasing demand on the Royal Canadian Air Force for aerial trans- portation in connection with forestry, survey, inspection, and related work and for transportation for those ser- vices working in the remocer parts of the country, made it desirable to form some organization where the problems incidental to this work could b* con- sidered, and as a result an inter- departmental committee on flying op- erations for the civil services of the Government of Canada has been con- stituted. The committee will provide for the interchange of information between the various services interested, for the consideration of the results obtained, the co-ordination of flying programs the country and discussion TORONTO.

A despatch from Ennia says: Eamonn De Valera, "president of the Irish Republic," at last is in the cus- tody of the Free State authorities. He was arrested here on Wednes- day as he was starting an election 1 speech to his constituents. He had ; boldly announced his coming and when he took his position on the rostrum in Market Square Free State troops ; threw a cordon about him. The crowd that had gathered hadj given him a tumultuous reception, and he had just started his address In Gaelic when a shout arose, "the soldiers are coming." Simultaneously, armored cars rattled up to the vicinity of the platform. The crowd, made up of men and women, fled In all directions as the soldiers fired several volleys over their heads. Many of the women fainted. As several soldiers rushed toward the platform, De Valera was seen to sway and then to collapse. At first it was thought the Republican leader had been shot, but it turned out that he had only fainted, probably In sequence of a blow he received during; the stampede. When he recovered Pe Valera was assisted down the steps from the plat- form by troops. Pie waved aside a ** The "Shy Doctor."

There is only one general rule, and that is "play the game." The ages of the boys range from 17 to 19. Working boys are granted a special leave ot absence by their em- ployers so that they can attend the camp. Arrangements are in the hands of an industrial welfare society, but the Duke himself gives the matter his own closest personal attention and each year spends one or more days with his boys. What the eventual effect will be of bringing boys from the factories and public schools together is a matter for speculation. The Duke, who is very democratically inclined. Is said to be- help to create a better between the workers employers; but what seems to be his immediate ambition is to ( give a representative cross section of boyhood a very fin* vacation.

The program of flying operations for 1923 was discussed and informa- tion was given to the meeting as to the nature and extent of the operations contemplated. By giving all services full information as to the whole pro- gram it has been possible to consoli- date the work and arrange for co- operation between the various depart- ments -served, so that operations undertaken in any district may serve as many departments as possible. Increase in Temperature on the Faroe Islands Winds. A despatch from Washington ays: Washington scientists have re- announced last April by Dr. C. G. Ab- bot of the Smithsonian Institute, that crowd following him. De Valera was taken to the county jail. He offered no resistance. A despatch from Limerick says: After his dramatic arrest at Ennis, A despatch from London says: ' The greater warmth of the water sur- rounding the Faroe Islands, in the North Sea, has caused the temper- ature of the islands to undergo a radi- cal change during the last few months. Scientific Investigations have shown that a warm ocean stream from the south U encircling the islands and that groat quantities of strange fish scales have been washed ashore. These scales belong to a type of octopus that inhabits western European waters, but hitherto has' not been known to Berlin Has for Aerial Mail Matter A despatch from Berlin says: Near the main entrance of the Hotel Bristol on Unter den Linden a new mail box has just been put up. It is painted bright red and bears the in- scription in gold "I.uftpoetkasten" (air mailbox). Unlike its companion box of blue, which hangs near by and receives ordinary mail, this new re- ceptacle takes only such mail as is going by the modern way of traveling. That a large, amount of mail is sent through the air in Germany is evident from the fact that the box is emptied from six to eight times a day. This of brilliant red blazing from the Natural Resources Bulletin The Natural Resources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa says: Th products of Canada's forests are BO numerous ar.d varied that it is difficult to se- lect on industry in which some class of wood product is r.ot an essential factor. A report re- cently issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics give* the value of the output of the Can- adian sash, door and planing mill Industry for 1920 as $53,- 365,666, of which dressed lum- ber and interior woodwork formed the greater proportion, although boxes and packing ca^es. butter ar.d cheese boxes, handles, etc., occupy a promin- ent place in th* output.

The 5,515 employees in this secondary industry, together with their dependents and others, will thus have a very material interest in protecting the forest from fire. To Visit Canada.
