Changes proposed by the Senate committee .in the Hawley bill would not, generally speaking, mini- mize the serious effect on the sea fisheries of Canada, it is stated. The Hawley bill, the statement de- clares, proposes increases in the duty against Canadian smoked fillets, smoked herring, dried and salted fish and boneless fish. In the first cate- ger exports from Canada to the nited States amounted to about 3- 600,00 pounds in 1928; and "the busi- ness has been increasing by leaps and bounds." Exports of smoked herring to the United States in 1928 amount- ed to approximately 3,000,000 pounds. Canada exported dried and salted fish to the United States to the extent of 24,500,000 pounds in 1928, Bone- less fish, on which the Hawley bill proposes to double the duty, was also exported to the United States .in large quantities. The exports last pounds. Warning Issued The department statement set forth that "there has been consid- erable misunderstanding and lack of information concerning the effect of changes on the Canadian fishing in- dustry "It will be remembered that the Hawley bill, so called, has passed the House of Representatives, and is now being considered by the Senate com- mittee, The important changes in the fisheries schedules that are made by the Hawley bill are: "Smoked fillets -- The business in these has been increasing by leaps and bounds. They are being increased from 1 1-4 to 3 cents a pound. About 3,600,000" pounds were exported to the United States in 1928, "Smoked = herring have been in- creased from 1 1-4 to 3 cents per pound. About 3,000,000 pounds were :. exported to the United States in 1928. "Dried and salted fish has been in creased from 1 1-4 to 13-4 cents per pound. Over 24,500,000 pounds were exported to the United States in 1928 "Boneless fish, the duty on which has been doubled from 1 1-4 to 2% cents per pound, will be seriously hit. Over 2,250,000 pounds were exported to the United States in 1928, "Reports of the committee's pro- ceedings, published August 1, show that some changes are proposed to be made by the Senaté committee, but it can be said generally that Wm. Tomkins, member of the California Executive of the Boy Scouts' Association is here shown demonstrating to a boy scout on board Canadian Pacific steamship Duchess of York the Indian s for "good" while the scout is ma ing the sign for "wolf" which means "scout", Mr, Tomkins has been specially commissioned by Chief. Scout Baden-Powell to in- INDIAN SIGNS FOR SCOUTS struct boy scouts in the Indian sign language and was photographed on his way to attend the World Scout Jamboree held at Birkenhead, Eng- land, first two weeks of August. About 350 United States Boy Scouts travelled on the Duchess of York and in all some fifty thou- sa scouts were present from forty countries at the jamboree in honor of the 21st anniversary of the founding of the movement, the cffect on the sea fisheries, For instance, the tariff on fresh and frozen sea and freshwater fish, other than halibut, salmon, macher- al, swordfish, smelts and tuna, is put by the committee at onc-half instead of one cent per 1b, as in the Haw- ley Bill, but this change, if made will mean little to the Canadian sea fishing industry . Export to U. S. "The total exports to the United States of sea fish affected by this provision of the proposed tariff was only slightly more than two million pounds in 1928. It will, however, mean something to the freshwater fisheries of the interior and middle west, which sent to the United Sta- tes, large quantities of whitefish .tulibee, lake herring, etc., During 1928 there were exported to the United States about *52,000,000 lbs. of such fish, The reductions are in varieties of which the United States has no adequate supply. "Another reported change by the committee is on cut fresh and frozen fish. Such are not separated #4rom fresh fish in the Canadian satistics, so that they would be included in the quantity of fresh sea fish given above. The quantity of fresh fillets exported would not be important, It is also reported that the duty on 'dried' and unsalted fish is to be 1%4 instead of 2V4 cents, as proposed in the Hawley Bill, but there is no ex- port of such from Canada, so that, as far as the reported action of the Senate committee goes, as previous shown, the Hawley Bill as it affects the sea fisheries, remains as it was." MORE CULTIVATION AFTER THE HARVEST Importance of Cultivation Should Not Be Overlook- ed Helps Control Weeds Profits from farm crops are deter- mined after the cost of production has been deducted, many factors en- ter into this cost, but among them are: preparation of seed bed, control of weeds, use of larger power units, co-operation with natural forces, seed fertilizer, taxes, etc. Weeds rob the growing crops of moisture, plant food and standing room and reduce the price of the grain sold. This is particularly true of some such as Sow Thistle, Twitch Bindweed and many others to a greater or lesser degree. Weeds have to be combatted according to the nature of their growth. Sunlight is one of the best partners the farm- er has in the eradication of weeds. A plant uprooted during the heat of the summer will die, Nature has as- sisted the weed to exist and multiply but will also assist the farmer effec- tively in cleaning the land if effort is put forth at the proper time. Labor is scarce and expensive; small power units are corresponding - ly expensive. Four and six: horse teams should be used wherever pos- sible by one man, whereas twenty- five years ago it was seldom that more than two horses were driven by one man. A Power machinery is rapidly replac- ing human and horse labour, methods will not suffice under new conditions because one man now has to cover far more acres in the same period of time, and he must accom- plish more per day. Applied intelli- gence is rapidly replacing sheer mus- cular endeavour. Ld Weed control because of existing conditions and = because of the toll taken during the. past fifteen years must become an integral part of the regular farm programme ust the re- turns er acre prove so small that it will be profitable no longer to culti- apparently preying on | pers 1s told in the following let- | may J describe what seems to me a '| ed surprise at meeting me again.

"Last Thursday I chose a little- frequented street near the Marble Arch, but had not walked far wnen I was overtaken by a charming wo- man who greeted me with delight- . 1 responded courteously, trying to suppress the fact that I did not know her, She was retaining my hand in an almost afféctionate clasp, all the time repeating "Don't you remember me?" ; "Now, look at me," "Yes, you do know me," "Look at me again," and so on. "At last I politely admitted I did not know her and begged her to tell me who she was. think of your oldest friends," "Now guess who," "Look at me again," 'Look, look." And so we went on gazing deeply into each other's eyes. She with an insidiously be- witching expression--the memory of which 1s now like a hideous nightmare--was irresistibly attrac- tive. She kept on like a whirlwind. "You do remember me. Think of the lovely times we had together in the south of England." Alas! I swallowed that bait and asked, "In Penzance?" "Yes," she said, and continued her questions rap- turously. Dab of a Kiss "Now you remember the Harri- Joust Alas! Again I swallowed the bait, a as few days earlier I had heard of an" acquaintance of that name who had arrived in England, and I asked, "Of Jamal- ca?" "Yes," she said, "and I am Mildred Harrison. And guess who I have just heard from--your dear- est friends out there--who are they? Guess who?" I guessed! Rightly, of course. Then at '""good-bye" came anoth- er tight handclasp, with the ques- tion "Have you ever been robbed in London?" and "Well, I have-- at least I have just left my purse in a taxicab. Now the only tning I can think of is to sell my wateh." I suggested the pawnshop! But her horrified indignation is beyond description. . At last, against my will, I ad- mitted I had a £1 note in my bag, IN NEW DISGUISE; "No," she said, "I will not, but |} Feats which I was holding very tightly. I took her into an Oxford Srureet store, got my £1 note changed, and handed her 8s. 6d. As she took it she gave me a rap- id dab of a kiss on the cheek and vanished like lightning, saying over her shoulder ironically: "You'll get it in the morning." Mesmerized A I got it that instant--the full re- alization that I had been kissed by a crook. I became literafly petrified--too dazed to try to have her arrested and since I have recovered I rea- ze She Was a Man! And--to my greatest cagrin--that he had hypnotised me. VICTIM On receipt of the letter to the Daily Mail, a reporter visited the writer, a grey-haired woman who was born in the West Indies and who has travelled extensively. She declared that she had no aount that the 'woman' was a man. She said: And--to my greatest chagrin--that I was completely mesmerized by this "woman" who "knew" all my friends in Jamaica. It was not un- til he had disappeared after get- ting me to change the only £1 note I had on me that I realized that "she'" was a man crook. CRIMINALS TURNED T0 'STRAIGHT ROAD' Remarkable Results Are Achieved by London League London.--The League of the Straight Road was founded for the benefit of burglars and pickpockets by Miss Marjorie Evan Thomas nine years ago in London. At the time Miss Thomas was' helping in a Y.M.C.A. just after res of England s Poisoning Mystery SICOTLAND YARD OIENS INQUIRY INTO TRIPLE MURDER The photographs here show the principals in the great case that is at present mystifying has rcturned verdict of murder in in the other, Scoland Yard finds itself in a position of "no ome to suspect", (1) Thomas Sidney, son of Mrs. Violet Sidney, one of the victims, who has been questioned poisonings.

Through Him she met his pals, and then decided to form the' club composed of 40 to 50 men, all of whom had been in prison. The first rule of the club is: "A member is expected to remember at all times that he has the honor of the League of the Straight Road to maintain and defend on all oc- casions, and he is expected to show the world that he is a man and a sportsman, whatever may happen | to him, . Bie ty omen Miss Thomas has been very suc- cessful in obtaining jobs for her ex- burglar friends. She insists that each one introduce another and stand surety for him, for, she says: | "There is no influence like that of the man who has been down and' under as a thief when he urges his' pal, who used to be with him In the 'whizzing' (pickpocketing) par-| ty, to go straight. It is the men] themselves who are going to be the'| strongest force in the country to reduce the criminal population. No' one can help them as they can help each other." a BETTER BRAN FL wr - years the club has been in existence there is only one casé of a member who made a slip by stealing goods worth twelve shillings, but he has been struck off the roll of the League of the Straight Road. Miss Thomos would like to see similar clubs in every part of this coun- try working in conjunction with the Discharged Prisoners' Ald Soci- ety. ;|wT I WANT TO BE A GIPSY } I want to be a gipsy And walk along the wide roady| * To cover up the heart of me y With just a tattered gown ; An 4 And when the trees are shoulder- ing, Their joyous burden in the spring, My soul will find its rest again A-wandering up and down. _ f®&' --y I want to be a gipsy And walk along the wide road Thro' upland and thro' lowland Thro' tangled paths and free, Whes all the flowers are blossom- ng, And birds are flocking back to sing Then I will go a-gipsying A-wandering to the seg She says that during the nine' Laura Bedell.

Hogg & Lytle, Limited Phone 203 54 Church St. After-harvest cultivations is one of the surest methods of controlling assist. The extent that this practice weeds 'because the summer heat should be followed will depend upon the amount of hoe crop which may be grown. The plants are weakest when the seed is ripened; for de- struction purposes the attack should be made, if possible, immediately. ! previous in order to prevent ripening of the current year's seed as well as fighting a weakened root, - When crops have been removed swallow ploughing or deep discing will 'kilt the young plants and induce seeds to sprout provided there is sufficient moisture. Power imple- ments will permit this operation in short periods of time and will enable the farmer to work a field though hard and dry. Plants cannot grow unless leaves are develoed--prevent growth above the ground. A weekly discing or cul tivating during August is an excell- cnt method. Keep the grond bare, Sow Thistle and Twitch are two' of the most" difficult to combat. Plow rather deeply after harvest and leave rough provided the land will become thoroughly dried; thé heat and lack of moisture will .go far in definitely killing the roots. If growth com- - mences weckly cultivation must be i resorted to in order that growth may be prevented. Smothering will then take place, or in other words, the plant will be deprived of food. Gath- ering and hauling Twitch off the land is too expensive, Deep plough- ing is effective against Twitch--the roots are buried so deeply that only the stronger one are able to reach the surface and unless allowed to de- velop leaves will not send out creep- ing rootstalks under the surface, PHONE 22 For Your Drug Needs THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. S.~We Deliver Work put upon the land to con- trol weeds is of value in that the soil is in better condition for the suc- ceeding crop.
