CANADA DOMINATES TRADE IN WHEAT Elimination of Russia as a Source of Supply Changes Markets London, Oct. 15. -- Sir Henry Rew, world-famous grain expert, in the Fin- ancial Times reviews the world grain trade changes and says the war's dis- turbance ofinternational commerce was especially marked in the grain trade, and that never again will the flow of grain from exporting to im- porting countries return to the old grooves. Before the war wheat came from mainly seven sources -- 24 per cent from Russia, 13 per cent from Argentina, 11 per cent from Canada, 8 per cent from the United States, 7 per cent from India and Rumania and 6 per cent from Australia. Last year's proportions were : Canada 52 per cent; Argentina, 16 per cent; United States, 14 per cent; Australia, 10 per cen}; Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, In- dia, Algiers and Rumania, contributed small amounts. With the elimination of Russia, Can- ada has become dominant and. the wheat trade is concentrated in fewer countries, 4 Corn comes from Argentina 60 per cent, United States and Rumania, 9 per cent each, Jugo-Slavia 6 per cent and a newcomer, South Africa, 6 per cent, Barley S$ y Three-fifths of the world's barley supply comes from Canada, with the United States, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia, Poland and Czecho-Slavakia supplying lesser quangities. J Canada and Argentina ow supply a third each of the world's oats and the United States one-fourth. Russia has dropped out in all these categories, where before the war, she was an im- portant exporter. Changes in buyers are also noted. Britain remains the chief buyer of all rains, but Japan has entered the mar- et, Germany and Italy. take 14 per cent of the world's wheat, while Bel- lum and Holland are big importers, hut it is largely re-exported. Germany and Britain are the biggest barley im- porters, Of oats Britain takes 28 per cent, Germany nearly -as much, and France half as much. Corn buyers are: Germany 8 per cent, and France slightly more, while Spain, Norway and Italy have also increased corn require- ments, SHIELDS' FORCES T0 ORGANIZE AS REGULAR BAPTISTS Including Churches in On- tario and Quebec Provinces HOLD BIG RALLY Nucleus of Association is Formed at Meeting in Jarvis St. Church Toronto, Oct. 17.--As a protest against the expujsion of Rev. T. T. Shields and Jarvis- Street Church delégates from the Ontario and Que. bec Baptist Convention, 1,200 peo- ple met in Jarvis Street Baptist Church on Saturday evening in an indignation session. Before thd meet- ing a prayér meeting led by Deacon George Greenway was held. The choir from Grace Church, Oakwood and an orchestra supplied music. After the reading of = messages or sympathy from other churches, Thomas Urquhayt, chairman, open- ed the protest meeting. In his op- ening remarks Mr. Urquhart men- tioned how pleased he was to see such a large attendance of members who upheld the faith. The main outcome of the meeting was passage of a resolution deciar- ing the plan of dissenting churches of the convention to form a separ- ate convention or association, and decision to formulaie preliminary organization of this new body at a mass meeting In Jarvis Street Church at 9.30 a.m. Wednesday. After the chairman, the first speaker was Rev. J. B. Kennedy. He declared that it was his opinion that the baptising of 20 people in the Atlantic and 30 in the Pacitic should give him the entree to any con- vention. "This bill," he said, refer. ring to the recent bill passed at Ot- tawa and under which the expul- sion was' made, "is a demonstra- tion of what a Board will do if a minister does not do as it says. 1 believe that a preacher should preach what he likes with no mier- ference." Urging that the main point for this gathering to consider was the question of Dr. Shield"s veracity, Rev. Mr. Kennedy sald: "I investi- gated the chara ter of both Dr. Shields and his accusers and found that ti was hs accusers who were the Haars." Mr. Kennedy then likened the bill to a switch to a baby, quot- ing from "The Canadian Baptist." He stated that it was more than thet, for it had gut Dr. Shield's oui off. 'But they had a larger ontract than they bargained for," said Mr. Kennedy, "for they have to cut off the heads of 20,000 Bap- tists from the conveniion." Following Mr. Kennedy, Rev. James McGnlay spoke briefly. He eulogized Dr, Shields, stating that the convention was highly irregular and unethical. The whole congreza- tion stood up when Mr. McGinlay said, "Don't let the Devil tell you that you stand 'wrong when you stand vn» for Shields.

GROWING OF NUTS IN CANADA URGED James A. Neilson Declares This Part of Country is Most Adaptable (By Staff Reporter) . Port Hope, Oct. 17.--Declaring this and other parts of Canada, particularly Southern Ontario, to be easily adaptable to the growing of various varieties of nuts. James A. Neilson, B/S.A.. M.S.,, of Port Hope, Extension Horticulturist has written' a pamphlet which is being issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, and which the names of nuts best adapted to Canada are given, along with the kind of soil best suited to them and ways to plant them. Mr. Neilson gives five reasons for the planting of nut trees, pointing 'out their food, ornamental and tim- ber values, as well as the fact that they are permanent crops and give ppoduction economically, requiring little Tabor. Py In food production, Mr. Neilson quotes figures gleaned by Dr. Rob- ert T. Morris, that nut trees produce more of the food essentials in pro- teins, oils and starches per acre than are furnished by ordinary [Meld crops, adding that each acre of wal- nuts in good bearing will produce every year ' food approximating, 2,500 pounds of beef, or 8,500 quarts of milk, or 3,000 pounds of mutton. Country Pays Vast Sum Speaking from an economical viewpoint, Mr. Neilson points out that at the present time, Canada is spending five million dollars every year outside the Dominion for nuts, although a part of this demand could be met In this country by planting in suitable areas, the best varieties of native and exotic spec- jes of nuts, Mr. Neilson rads it hard to un- derstand why people plant the horse--chestnut for ornamental pur- poses, when the black and Japanese walnut trees with their hybrids are some of our most beautiful decid- uous trees. Speaking more of the walnut, he points out that the black walnut is one of our most valuable timher trees, being widely used for furniture, gun stocks ahd cabinet work, "Yet," declares 'Mr. Neilson, 'con. frarv to almost. common belief, the hlack walnut grows quite rapidly, for I planted a tree myself be- gan to bear fruit in six years, and grew to a height of 37 feet with a diameter of 14 inches in 18 years. In Bruce Coumty at the present time, Mr, Neilson declares, as well as other parts of Canada, the but- ternut, or white walnut, which is hardier than the black walnut, has been grown for some years. Two named varieties of this nut, the De- ming and the Aitkin, are recom- tary-treasurer of the inspectorate. - Speaking of the valve of conven- tions, Col. E. E. Snider. of Port Hope, Inspector, declared "that if each teicher received only one word during the sessions which would help or inspire him or her to do beter work on their return to their respective schools, the convention was most assuredly worth the time and hard work put into it. : D. L. Sommerville, testifying that the convention was one of the best which he has attended, asked the assembled teachers to pass his mo- tion' that a vote of thanks be ex- tended to. the secretary, D. D. Bar- ton, who, he declared, was the vital moving force pushing the convention to a success. . Col. E. E. Snider professed to take great pleasure in seconding the motion of Mr. Somerville, de- claring that he knew personally of some of the snags struck by the sec- retary in his work, and of the way he had overcome, them. The vote of thanks was heartily and unani- . (Continued on page 11) nded for planting on rich, well- Arained loam. The Japdnese walnut, character- (ized by a very rapid growth, early and heavy bearing, marked beauty ~f form and foliage, is considered hv Mr, Neilson to be our most beau. titnll deciduous tree, and. he bhe- Haves, warthy of wider planting for ornamental purposes as well as for the fruit. .

Oshawa is a City of Board- ing Houses -- New Sunday Those who us? the Old Testament merely to feed the flame of dogmatic. opinion or to jeapordize the peace- ful unity of the Church of Christ were characterizedl as "infernal fools" by Rev. Dr. W. P. Fletcher of the Christian Church, this city, at the morning service on Sunday when he preached a searching ser- mon on the subject of "Ten Thous. and Oshawa people say 'Let the Churches close': What do you say?" Dr. Fletcher also outlined his church's need for building expan- sion, and declared to his congrega- tion that the new addition should contain parlors--made as homelike as chintz, a grate fire, and books could make them--when the unmar- ried young women of this city might come and receive the honorable courtship of their young men friends. In making this proposal, Dr. Flet- cher uncomprisingly scored those who ériticise "spooning in motor cars." "They have to spoon somewhere," he declared. "and it is wholly right that they should do what untold generations have done before them. Instead of criticising, the Church in this city of boarding houses and young men and women who live in them should provide places for the proper growth of that affection upon which the whole order of marriage and family life rests." His sermon to the coneregation of the Christian Church of Oshawa was a call to go forward. He pictured the need of a new Sunday School building and the acquiring of a playing field where youth could de- velop its body in summer on lawns where the Church's heaven-nointing spire would, like a dial hand mark off the hours of innocent recreation. Two fifths of Oshawa, he stated, by their actions sald « "Let the Churches close." Taking Stock "Actions speak louder than words," he declared, but he showed that the Church is not to be closed or kept open by those who remain away from it. He brought his ques- tion to the pews in front of him, even to his own pulpit, and urged the authorities of the Church to take deep thought as to the effectiveness of his own ministry, And, if they would tell him the truth, however unfavorable, he would be guided accordingly. "You will hear," the speaker declared, '"men, decent men, declare that the day of the Church hes passed. A member of the Masonic Order told me that he found all that he needed in that fraternity. Others will tell you that organizations like the Rotary, Kiwanis and kindred service clubs take the place of reli- gion with them. "We serve no good end by ienor- ing such opinions.

Dunlop, B.A., Tells the Teachers Further Study is Essential (By Staff Reporter) Port Hope, Oct. 15.--Stressing | the importance of extra-mural edu- cation for teachers, W. J. Dunlop B.A., Director of Exiension Cour. ses at Toronto, made a very elo- quent address yesterday WDéfore the Teachers' Convention, with the sub- ject, "The Teacher as a Citizen." Emphasizing the need of further 'study if a teacher hoped for promo- tion and higher position, Mr. Dun- lop pointed out that doctors and lawyers are continually feeding their minds through medical and law books, and that teachers should do likewise. "One handicap toward an ex- change of ideas by teachers is be- ing removed shortly," stated the speaker, "with the issue of a Teach. ers' Jorunal which is being pre- pared now. The convenience with which students may obtain exten- sion courses from any university," continued Mr. Dunlop, "makes this plan of mental improvement very pal ple: Although it is difficult at in and entails much study," warned the speaker, "the rewards are worth the effort." "Phe education and upbringing of children is a mutual responsibility between the parent and teacher," as. gserted Mr. Dunlop," and no insiruct- or should have any fear of a father or mother, but rather should ask for help and co-operation from them." "Many teachers, in asking to be | execused from teaching a Sunday School class," said Mr. Dunlop," de. clare they have enough of teaching throughout the week, but this is uv efecuse. You do not teach on Sat- urday," pointed out the speaker.

Making Under Wings of Organized Church Use Old Testament to Foster Bigotry Sternly Scored by Dr. Fletcher TABOLISH CAPITAL - PUNISHMENT, IS RUSSIA'S DECISION Prison Terms Are Commuted With Exception of Grave Offences MANIFESTO HEARD Plan a Working Day of Seven Hours--Various Privileges Granted Moscow, Oct. 16.--The abolition of capital punishment, except in the most grave offences and the com- mutation of prison terms, except of 11 ose convicted of working to de- stroy the Soviet Government, was an.iounced last night. The announcement was made in a manifesto read by Alexis I. Rykoff, president of the Council of People's Commissars, before the Soviet Par- liament which opened® an extrao"- dinary session. The session, markinz the tenth anniversary of the Bol- shevic revolutions, was held in the Tauride Palace, buily by Catherine the Great, in 1793, as a gift to her lover, Field Marshall Potemkin. The shortening of the working day to seven hours, and the granting of various privileges to peasants and workers, were also provided in the manifesto. According to Rykoff and Michael Kalinin, president of the All Russian Central Executive. committee, the manifesto foreshadows a new and more liberal internal policy intend- red largely to benefit the workers. The clause dealing with capital punishment reads.' "Clause Nine: "Exclude from the Criminal Code in force in the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics the application of cepital punishment as a measure of social defence in all cases, save in anti-government crimes, military and armed riots, A Soviet Government asked for an explanation meaning of "anti-government crimes," since. such crimes might mean any crime against the Soviet Government, declared that under the manifesto the Criminal Code ex- cludes specifically many crimes here- tofore punishable by death. Prison Terms Commuted Clause 10 of the manifesto directs the presidium of the All-Russian ex. ecutive committee to commute the sentences of all serving prison terms, whether punished judicially or by administrative order. This exception is provided, however: Save active members of political parties aiming at the Saviet Government's destruction, villainous thieves of government funds and grafters." The. executive manifesto grants further relief regarding these items: Increase in the budget for work- ers' home by 15,000,000 rubles over last year's appropriation, the release of 10 per cent. more nf the poor peasants from paying taxes (25 per cent. of the poor peasants nal- readv having been released); the increase of the shod for the - population of villages hy 15,000.000 rubies; and double insurance funds for war invalids. authority of the MR. HOOVER'S CANDIDACY (New York Times) President. Coolidge has let it be known that he intends to be absolute- ly impartial as between Republican candidates to succeed him. He has not thus far said a word, or made a sign, indicating which one of them he would favor above the others. He ap- pears to have . resolved to be even neutral in thought' as President Wil- son in vain utged his fellow-country- men to be when the European war broke out. Yet the impression has got about that Mr. Coolidge if he were to prefer any of the several possibilities mentioned, would pitch upon Secre- tary Hoover. Nothing explicit or di- rect has come from the President on this point. But it was noted at the Re- publican State Convention in Roches- ter that several subordinates in the Washington Administration came on to spread the notion that Mr. Hoover stood the best chance. The wise poli- ticians were able to put this two and two together. And only last week when members of the Republican Na- tional Committee foregathered at Washington, our correspondent . re- ported that in some way they had been led to believe that Secretary Hoover was, at least tacitly, the Administra- tion candidate. No one could pin any- body down to a specific utterance, but here it was, as we say, in the air.
