Condemnation nf the government on j score that it has not properly ended Ibe income tax law was voiced another resolution adopted. Women Delegates Active I'or the first time in the history of leral political conventions, women legates championed a cause and sored the adoption of a resolution. iIh honor fell to Miss Armstrong, of ■ndon. Oni.. and Miss Petrle, of Hainan, who, respectively, moved and 'ended a resolution declaring It to necessary to conserve the lives and prove the standard of Cnnadlan cll- nshlp. Tho ladles received an en- |its.n»tlc reception from tho iicle- tes, The convention arose to a high stale enthusiasm on several occasions 'ring the afternoon over the speeches Ich Inlerpersed tho proceedings, hesl Lapolnte, member for Knmour- to. probably scored the greatest trl- iph, his effort being punctuated with tburHtH of cheering. A number of 'erencos were mude by Speakers to jernl ministers of the crown and 'narks about lhe government were ''erely critical. Leadership in Doubt (It midnight great uncertainty still vailed as to the cholco of a Ub- I leader. Before the adjournment 11:30 p. m, Hon. MaoKthalo King, n. Ueorge Graham and p. JJ. Mc Kenzic hnd opportunity to speak. They ill received an enthusiastic reception. A number of rumors are In circulation, one being to the effect that there is still a possibility that Hon. W. S. Fielding may retire owing to opposition to his enndidacy from a consider- ible section of the Quebec delegation. This opposition. It was stated, was verified at a caucus of the Quebec Liberals and senators held this afternoon. For Lower Tariff M 5:30 this evening the tariff roso- lutlon was then moved by I Inn. George Langley (Saskatchewan) and second- id by It. .1. Venlol (New Brunswick). In moving the resolution Mr. Langley said that the tariff was a question which did not affect the west alone but tho whole of Canada. He .was of the view, however, that, western farm- era had borne the burden uf the" tariff but had received none of its benefits. The legislature of Saskatchewan, year afler year, passed low tariff resolutions. At first the Conservative opposition had raised obections on the grounds that tho tariff wus purely a federal mutter. Last year, however, for the first lime, the Conservative opposition in Saskatchewan gave up its contention and joined In passing a low ttirlf resolution. There was nu doubt that the .urlfr increased the cost of living, lie did nut think the tariff was the principal cause uf ijic high cost of living, but was ono of the causes. They should bear In mind that transportation add- ed greatly lo the cost of things sold in the west. Didn't Care for Conscription Mr. Langley referred to the fact at the lasl elections he acted as chairman of a meeting at Ueginn, at which Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke, li would have taken a greal deal more than the Immediate issue at the election, Mr. Langley said, "tu make me transfer my realty frum Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the oilier man, whoso name | will not mention." Mr. Langley said ho did not care iwo pencd about conscription, The empire needed assistance and he was satisfied thai under. Laurier ..nothing pirtada should du would bo left undone, "They llioughl a Liberal could nol win tho war." a voice called out from the hall. "The/ did not know history." "They thought a lol of silly things," reolned Mr. Langley. "They are beginning to find out now." Labor Plank The platform ol' the Liberal parly in regard lo labor was approved by the convention in a resolution moved by Hon. W. L. MaeKonzIe King, seconded by Mr. Roebuck. After declaring that the committee recommends lhat the National Liberal convention accepts in entirety as a part of the Liberal platform, in tho spirit in which they huve been framed and Insofar as the special circumstance of the country will permit, tho terms of the labor convention and general principles associated with tlio League of Nations and incorporated in the conditions of peace, the resolution proceeds: Joint Industrial Control A—That the introduction into the government ol industry of principles of representation whereby labor and the .community, as well as capital, may be represented in industrial con troi, and their interests safeguarded and promoted in the shaping of Industrial policies. ii—That Insofar ns muy he prae ticable, having regard for Canada's financial position, an adequate ays tern of insurance against unemploy ment, sickness, dependence in old age and other disability, which would Include old nge pensions, widows1 pensions and i|iaternlty benefits, should bo instituted by the government in conjunction with the gov ernmenls of the several provinces nnd that, on matter pertaining to Indus trial and social legislation an effort should be made to overcome nny question uf jurisdiction between the Dominion and Iho provinces by effective cooperation between the several governments.

It was roported that he had surrendered to forces under General Gonzales, but there has been no confirmation of the rumor as yet. tended to disabled workers in in dttstry. Immigration Restrictions G—More effective ' restriction of Chinese immigration. II—The federal Incorporation of cooperative associations. I—The acceptance of thn principle of proportional representation. J.—Immediate and drastic action by the government with respect to the high cast of living and profiteering, Kr-Restoration of tbe control of tin. executive by parliament and of parliament by the people through a discontinuance of government by or- ders-jii-council and ,a just franchise and its exercise on free conditions. Hon. V. ,T. Veniot, minister of public works for New Brunswick, in seconding the tariff reduction, stated that it was the most Important reso hit ion which would be submitted. H would not please everybody, but he was glad to say thnt It was broad enough tu exclude any charge of sectionalism. Tariff reductions, he declared, did nut decrease revenue. Plea for Harmony Mr. Veniot made a. plea for harmony from ull sections represented Xt the convention. Ho declared that there were nn mure broad-minded people in Canada today than those in whose veins flowed French blood. Referring in passing to ihe Military Service act, hcv stated thut he had, opposed conscription because he thought that If politics had been kept out. of the war compulsory mill tary service would have been unsua cessful. The opening of proceedings in the evening was delayed by the absenci of hoth chairmen. Senator Dandu- raud took the chair with Mr. Hartley Dewart as vice-chairman. Hon. Charles Murphy then submitted a suggestion from Andrew Hay don, the general secretary, that the convention should adjourn at 12.30 tomorrow, that the delegates should then meet at 2 o'clock in the various committee rooms, where ballot boxes would be distributed and that voting for the leader should begin at 3.30. The sug gust Ion was adopted, Oliver on Tariff lion. John Oliver, premier of Brit Ish Columbia, then moved an amend ment tu the tariff resolution, Ills amendment was tu strike out tho second and third paragraphs of the resolution referring tu the placing of certain specified articles on the free list uiul substantial reductions In tho customs duties on Other articles, and substituting therefore the following paragraph: "That tu those ends all the actual necessaries of life, together wilh all the tools, implements and machinery necessary for the development of our natural resources and for the pre purallon of natural resources for use, shall he free of customs taxa tlon," The cost of living, Mr. Oliver said, was a great question agitating the minds uf tho people. Tho only way to meet lhat problem was to put th« necessary articles of life on tho free list and lo relieve them from the burden of taxation. The principle uf removing lhe burden of taxation from the necessaries of life was beneficial tu every class of the community, to the labor man and the farmer und every other mnn, and such would not bo cluss legislation nor sectional in its effect. Does Some Knocking While reading his address, Mr. Oliver thumped the table so vigorously that ho knocked a large jug of water on the heads of the pressmen gathered beneath the platform. Thore was u laugh und Mr. Oliver added that nut only would he break lhe water bottle, but he would br.:ak some of the monopolies. lt wus necessary, he went on, not only lo put food products on the free list, but lt wus necessary to develop the whole of Canada's resources. The resolution as submitted by the resolutions committee would furnish a weapon of attack to the opponents of tho Liberal party. "It would tie my hands behind my baok," Mr. Oliver declarod, "and it would also tie the hands of a great majority of Liberal candidates in the next olection. Tho rciolution would put farmers' tractors on the free list. But what of the gasoline engine in the fisherman's boat? That was . equally an instrument of produc* tion. What of the jack plane and the other tools of the carpenters, tho machinists' tools, the plumbers' tools — were thoy not also instruments of production? "It is not a squaro deal," Mr. Oliver protested, "and it is not good Liberal politics. It is a get-by proposition. It would not oven get tho Bordon qovernment by, And tho Liberal party is too big and too important in this (Continued on Tugo Two/ POLICE WERE ON IE OF 8IRK HONORED BY E Winnipeg Baker Testifies to Action of Officers Early in the Recent Trouble WINNIPEG, Aug, «.--l>hwt evldenco that tha city police stood by and watched the striken), 'in Iho first day of the strike, whllo they deliberately maltreated citizens on their way lo work, trespassed and destroyed property, was given at ihe trial of the olsht strike leaders thla afternoon by A.

Misu said that liumanians wero taking back supplies which German field Marshal Von Mackenscn took from them, hut his explanation did not alter the decision of the supreme council, which was unanimous. While tho French hitherto apparently were inclined to regard Rumanian occupation of Budapest favorably it was evident at today's council meet- int,' that they have changed their position since seeing the Rumanian ultl- matum and are now heartily in accord with the Hritish and l'nited States position which the Italians have been supporting considerably, It was made clear at today's median •'>;" 'he Rumanian ambitions would cut off the communications of Central Europe and make it impossible to feeil large populations ai(d also would greatly interfere with repartitions.

LABOR SITUATION REMA^pDl8- QUIETING; MOVE_^fcvAHU AMELIOR RAILWAY UNIONS REFUSE TO SUPPORT THE POLICEMEN Only Moral Support Is Promised by th» Dock Workers at Liverpool to Discharged Men LIVERPOOL, Aug. 7.—Troops at midnight charged with bayonets and dispersed a crowd of persons outside St. Georges Hall. Several of the soldiers were beaten with axe handles by the mob. a At the same time firing was heard in the Scotland Road district. Details of the trouble there have not yet been received. The clash outside St. Georges Halt resulted from an attack on a sentry by rowdies who endeavored to take away the sentry's rifle. The sentry fired his gun in the air and a squad of troops responded and charged the , disturbers. LONDON, Aug. ii.—i Associated Press)—The labor situation remains) disquieting, but there were two important developments today in tbe direction of amelioration, The first waa the decision of the railway union against a strike in support of tbe police, the second was tho revelation tbat the support tbat the Liverpool dockers' union promises is only moral support. Tho resolution of the railway union declining to call n general strike to support the police urged all the members of the union now striking to resume work 1 turned lately, .lames Henry Thomas, member at parliament and general secretary of the nationnI union of railway men, said tonight he hoped there would be nn misunderstanding of Uio importance of this decision and that all members of lhe union would loyally accept it as in their interest. (>ne of the secretaries of ihe dockers' union of Liverpool explained today thai the resolution carried yesterday by tbo executive, of tbe union demanding roinstntemoni of the dismissed policemen, failing which, wholehearted support would bo given to the police does not mean that there is any present intention of calling tho dockers out iu support of the dismissed policemen's request for reinstatement. Beforo such a strike could bo called. he said, the members of tho union would have to he consulted, Strike Leaders Responsible In tho course of a discussion of the Liverpool situation in the bouse today. Kihv.ml Shortt, secretary for home affairs, declared that llle men who are trying to paralyze all work and haml" over tbe city to the mercy of tho erlmlnnl classes are far from being irn sponsible persons. "Fortunately," the secretary continued, "hitherto they have failed and I have every confidence that the authorities of Liverpool will be aide 10 protect and defend its citizens from inch sinister attacks." The bread famine continues at Liverpool, lun no further hYbbr troubles were reported tonight. In London a seven hours' conferee between the masters and men failed to settle the strike of the bakers. The fond controller has issued an appeal to all houses able to bake their own bread so thai a limited supply may bo available for poor people lacking baking facilities. The bread situation is becoming' worse, and BOtno the London wholesale bakeries, Which are managing to keep up a slight output, are now rationing the bread to retailors, lt is chiefly to the small unaffected bakeries, however. that Londoners owed what bread was available today, Union officials say that there are __0,00() linkers on strike throughout the country, More Railroaders Out The Southwestern railway strikers gained additional recruits today, further restricting suburban service, but the indications tonight are that tlie strikers will resume work tomorrow. Reports that the bolshevik! are financing the strike movement In Kngland are received with a den! of skepticism. Some of the newspapers stnte that a man. said to be a Swede, from whom Scotland Yard officials allege they obtained a confession that he had heen engaged in bringing money from Hungary to finance an agitation to overthrow the government, was really tl Norwegian Journalist named Zoeh- ariassen. The man was deported on Monday last . PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE 1 LT8BON. Aug. fi. — M.

The Fraser amendment provided for the removal of the duty from machinery, foodstuffs, fuel and raw materials; for the production of revenue largely by a direct tax on land values, by a graduated tax on all incomes over $3,000. a tax on company profits over 10 per oent, by a graduated inheritance tax on all estates over $15,000. The Fraser amendment was declared ut of order by the chairman on the ground that it contained matter extraneous to the subject under discussion, Not Good Politics Kiilce Cameron, Montreal, supported the Oliver amendment, lie slated that his chief objection to the resolution was thnt It was too specific, lie thought it had political management to specify lhe lines upon which reluct ions would he made. A, R. McMasCer, the framer of tho u-iginnl resolution, disagreed with the contention that It should not be specific In ils declarations. The people of Canada, he sad, wanted the truth, not generaltles. As for political strategy, the Canadian people were sick, tired and nauseated with political strategy.

Labor Relations Speaking of his resolution on labor and industrial relations. Hon.

Gas nnd wind in the stomach accom- panied by that full, bloated feeling after eating are almost certain evidence of the. presence of excessive hydrochloric acid in the stomach, creation so-called "acid indigestion." Add stomachs aro dangerous because too much add Irritates the dell cate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastrins accompanied by serious stomach ulcers. Pood ferments ■ add sours, creating the distressing ga. which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the Vital Internal organs, often affecting th* heart. It is thn worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or lo trea' with ordinary digestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Blsurated Magnesia and lake a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This Will drive the gas, wind ami bloat right out of the body, sweeten tbe stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent Its formation and there Is no sourness or pain. Blsurated Magnesia (in powder nr tablet form—never liquid or milk) Is harmless to the stomach, Inexpensive to lalte nnd lhe best form of magnesia foi stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of Indlgeatlon, ing the sole guiding strength without any consideration of labor. Arthur Roebuck of Toronto, second ed the resolution 'In a brief address. Plea for Tolerance Hon. Geo. p Graham made a strong plea for tolerance, declaring that big otry had caused the defeat of the Liberal party In lflll, The convention must stand lor religions freedom and tbe right of the Individual to think bis own thoughts. If this was not done, Liberalism was but a form of fossilized Toryism. The first duty nf Canadians, Mr. Graham went on, was to legislate for Canada. "1 was offered a place In the Union government, the firs', one offered after the old chieftain declined and it took me just three, to say 'No,1 1 was offered the same terms as the great chieftain. I could have my choice of ny portfolio outside of that of the prime minister, and it was suggested that l..havo the ministry of war overseas. It was also offered that I could name half the cabinet from my own followers and if the numbers were not then equal I could appoint another minister without portfolio to equalr Ize, Sir Wilfrid hatirler left me free tnd I spurned the oiler which wns tho best thing that ever happened to me." Mr. Graham said that much hnd been heard of the persistence of Sir Robert Borden In forming a/ government. The persistence, he declared, was nil on the pari of Sir Clifford .Hilton and Sir William MacKenzie. Tho Canadian Northern Railway interests needed men In the government ind they persisted until they got a government to their liking. D. D. McKenzIe, acting leader of the pposltion, was the next speaker. Ho said in opening, that be had heen a follower of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the last. With reference lo the tariff he expressed his absolute approval of the resolution just passed by the convention. When he had undertaken tho temporary leadership of the Liberal party an attempt had been made by the Tory and Unionist press to brand him ns a high protectionist. 'I'his attempt was unsuccessful. At the close f Mr. McKenzle's speech, which was received with great enthusiasm, tho. labor resolution was put and carried. Tho chairman announced that the convention would resume at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Conservation of Life A resolution pledging the convention to a vigorous prosecution of measures host calculated to conserve the life and improve tbe physical standing of Canadian citizenship, was next introduced, lt stated that the great wnr nnd the influenza epidemic had taken an appalling toll of Canadian life, and that human llfd nnd physical efficiency were the nation's greatest assets. Speaking In support of the resolution, Miss Armstrong, of London, Ont., stated thaj It wns frequently stated by orators thnt the boy and tho girl were the nation's greatest assets. However, these orators appeared to forget this fact when it came to practical proceedings and instead of protecting the youth all their time was given to the conservation of the life of pigs and sheep and cattle, Tbe great question of the day. Miss Armstrong went on, was not tbe tariff. The tariff was only great Insofar as it affected tho life of Citizens. The great question in lhe opinion of women was tbat the Liberal party should place In Its platform a plank pledging Itself to support vigorous and aggressive pul lie health measures, to conserve life and raise the standard of physical efficiency of lhe citizens. The resolution was seconded by Miss Petri and carried. IE TO SOLVE t THURSDAY, AUG, 7, 101!) j FARMERS' POLICY Government Will Obtain Highest Possible Price for Wheat in the World Market OTTAWA, Aug. fi.—An official statement issued today says: Sir Robert Borden Is In receipt of many telegrams from western Canada, protesting ngainst lhe' fixing of a minimum price for this year's wheat, crop and urging lhat the farmers of the west are entitled to the full benefit of the best price In/the> world's market. Tho course whioh these gentlemen desire is that which the government has taken. The price of wheat has not been fixed, but in order to avoid inconvenience to fanners who must, of necessity, have an advance In ready money on account of Ihelr crop, the government proposes that the Cnnadlan Wheat. Board shnll make, to such producer, a reasonable and substantial payment on account. Tho imount of this payment will be recommended by the Canadian Wheat Hoard and the government will provide the necessary funds for the purpose. The Canadian Wheal Board will dispose of the entire Canadian surplus at tbe best price obtainable in the wheat markets of the world. After this Jins boon- done each farmer shall be entitled to receive the balance of the price obtained, less actual costs and charges. Tbe proposals of lhe government were formulated and announced beforo they had advantage of knowing the recommendations of the Canadian Council of Agriculture. They are very glad to find tbat those recommendations In substance and Indeed in complete accordance on nil material points with the proposals which have been announcved nnd which are now being carried oul by the government.

Greater ease of money and Increased activity at the steel mills, despite the temporary halt caused by the railway shopmen's strike, included the other encouraging developments.

Hureomb chats familiarly with his prospective customers about fact and fiction in the business of buying and selling jewels nnd plate. This paragraph he quotes from a weekly paper which "has tho largest circulation of any religious newspaper in the world"; Some family heirloms of great historic vauto had to be inspected. A visit was paid by the solicitors to the bank, where various tin ..oxes were deposited in a strong ro6m. One of these tin boxes contained a lovely pearl necklace. On being opened bow- ever, it was found that, after many years the pearls were discolored, and In some eases hud crumbled to dust. A specialist said If they hud been worn they would have been in as good condition as when they were deposited In the strong roo of the bank.

Walllnger, in the iui- nual report ot the minister or mines, many properties in tho Port Steele mining division were Investigated and I'uvorahly reported oh by outside engineers during mi Air. VVdlllnger reports as follows: Althuqgh the year's results were dls- npirnlntlng In some respects, there is no doubt that the Investigations ot visiting engineers wero favorable, and several bonds are in process of completion, whereby much development Is proposed Tor 1919. The withdrawal of tbe Federal Mining ond Smelting company lrom the district was the chief disappointing f-.'ilurc. presumably due to the failure of the diamond-drilling operations on the North Star bill and Stemwiuder properties to show up any extension ol the known ore bodies. Development Forecasted After the Federal .Mining and Smelting Company bad abandoned Ihe option on the North Star mine the property was leased by Thompson & Blander, who have shipped over 2.1B0 tons of ore lo 'frail, and It Is the intention of the lessees under their five-year tern re to rperate ou a more extensive scale diirlne 1919. Up to the present the main supply of ore shipped has come fivn the old duihpfl, from which n very fair profit was made. 'I wo or three properties In the St. Alary district was under examination, nr.d iiranc-emelits havo been made wben by lhe largo body ot low-grade copror ore on Whltefish creek Is to b! prospected and developed. This Is an Important move for iho district und much depends on the success. This property, belonging to Evans UroR., has never been thoroughly prospected, as it is far too extensive for tbe work of ordinary prospectors. Tin; properties on Alkl creek also same In 'for examination, and an option wns given on the Mile Peter croup; tills property carries copper associated with pyrrhotlto and mla- pickcl in a strong, well-defined ledge in Ihe hornblende nuurt-ltos of the Aldrldge formation, It is owned by l.ieut.-Col. Pollen. The Park group, which bad ceased working owing to the increased cost of'operation, Is lo shirt again initned- lalely tbe snow Is off; what work was done in 11)18 waa not very satisfactory, but was of too small all amount lo determine anything. Placers in Favor Perry creek showed some improvement ns far as placer mining was concerned. Tlie Wild Horse Creek Placer Mining Company, which has bought out Ihe old Perry Creek Hydraulic, did considerable work fixing up the Idg flume, putting in supplies, lumber, etc., and making ready for an early slart Ihls spring. Placer miniiin'appears- to be coming to some favor1 again, as, besides Perry crook, Wild Horse Is lo he tried again by a Seattle company which lias taken up six new leases and obtained (ill option on the existing leases and pla.lt, wllh the intention of thoroughly Exploiting lhe creek by new methods. Tiie Moyte placer is also to come in for prospecting nt llie falls; It Is a good many years since anything of any Imparlance was done here, although the locality received a lot of attention from the old placer miners. As fir as gold-,|iiartz mining was concerned, nothing was done; Perry creek heing especially a low-grade free milling gold-quartz camp, does not appeal to eapilal at present on account of tlle increased cost of operation. Sullivan Making Records The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company is making records in the extraction from lhe Sullivan mine; the work on the main adit-tunnel was resumed early in November and is being pushed forward with a full force of men, and Is now in over S.oillt feet Pretty nearly l.r.,000 tons ot oro was Shipped from this mine last year, the preponderance being zinc ore. Il is the Intention of ibc company to mako In the near rnture, still further Improvements and developments for tho more economical handling of the oro and the comfort of employees. Tbo extent of ore reserves fully warrants u large outlay lo facilitate Ihe handling of tlle Immense annual tonnage con* tcinplated. The St. Eugcno Is still shipping n little ore, both by the lessees anil also the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, but none of the other properties in tills camp have broken into the shipping list, although Ibe lluws group, the Clllllliloli group, and Ihe Aurora have all reported ore In sight. Tbe depreciation in the value of lead will necessarily have some effeel on ilo. vnl f galena properties. but this Is practically'offset by tbo Increased price of silver; the lead ipies- tioll. however, appears lo bo some what disquieting as the market value is loo fluctuating to establish any confidence. In conclusion. 1 would point out that lhe general interest in mining has been maintained and the receipts In excess ot Ibc former year. I BECOME AN Hill "Vou want to lie a government watchman'.'"

In fact, one cannot speak of smuggling as a mere trade any more—it has become one of the fine arts, even though it is more commerclHlly profitable than the rest of them. The glories war-time smuggling of necessities—" food, clothing, shoes, sculp and the like — were often sung before this. < Hie particular branch o£ lhe—shall we eall.it science?-—has s|)rung into full,blossom only after the conclusion of the armistice—we mean the wholesale smuggling of fortunes. Ever since last November, and perhaps earlier than thut, from Germany Lo Holland and Scandinavia and Hungary in Switzerland, there was flowing a steady stream of gold, securities, jewel."*, and till other kinds of valuables, ail privately held, their owners being obsessed with but one thought—safety. Fear ot confiscation through bulshovlsm mid fear <>t coo fisciitlon through taxation necessitated by war indemnities furnished th motive power behind this exodus nf riches, Everybody .smuggled . everything was smuggled, In spite of very severe special legislation in the countries thus being drained, The tulnl of Illegally oxpo^vtod private fortunes cannot even be conjectured now; it certainly runs up Into tens, perhaps into hundreds, of millions. niMst nf it representing nol depreciated currency of the defeated lauds, but gold, jewelry and foreign securities.

Ibc complaints that wild geeso are seriously damaging crops over, which they pass In migration: hast spring, when the geese were flying north, numerous complaints were received about the great dam- ago they were doing to fields of growing grain. The complainants wished to obtain permits to kill these geese out of season as provided in the Migratory Birds Treaty. Inspections were made, and as the damage did nol appear serious no permits were Issued. There is no doubt that the gnese were eating some of the slender green shoots when Ihey rested in lhe grain fields after their long flights and fasts. Some persons even threatened that Ihey would poison the geese, but the birds sodn solved the difficulty by leaving for their northern breeding grounds. Crops to be Protected If migratory birds are really damaging cops, it is Ibe intention nf lhe government to protect the crops, first by allowing permits lo be issued so that tho owner of the property may shoot the birds specified in his permit on bis own property. Any one requiring shell a permit must state in their application: (1) Tho species and an estimate of the numbers of birds committing the damage. (2) The nature and extent of the damage. (8) The extent of ihe agricultural or other Interests threatened nr involved. A return must, be made on the expiration of the permit, giving the number of birds killed, the dates upon which they were killed and'the disposition of lhe dead birds. ' No Proof Anainst Tlifirv. Tbe geese have .been gone fnr mouths now, and as lhe grain has hi own enough tn estimate tlie damage, an experl has been Sent In the districts concerned. He finds tlie grain "it one furiil damaged to the extent uf eight dollars; and this was the total damage in the district where com plain fa were mosi bitter. Evfth at that, there is no evidence that the geese caused Ibis damage. Surely, if lhat magnificent bird lhe Canada Goose, is tn survive, ho must eat. ami occasionally be may damage crops.

The landlord of the Maypole was, of course, a stupid man, and it was part stupidity and part perverscness that mado him consider young Joe as a child long aftor ho was doing a man's work, But many people who would resent the chargo of stupidity aro not much more capable than John Wilmot of giving an accurate description of objects that have been under their observation for years, or of events which they witnessed at close quar. ters with great interest. This is which they witnessed at close quar- commentcd upon by Frederig J. Has- kin, a well-known American newspaper writer, who mentions tho recent case of a .merchant in tho middle west and his disappearing confidential clerk. The clerk took a largo sum of money with him, and when the employer, who had been in-daily contact with him for years, gave his description to tbe polico, he said ho was a young man of medium height, with black hair and brown eyes, and a fair complexion. The woman who lived 'above "the store and saw tho absconder leaving it. said be was short and stout, with dar,k auburn hair, grey eyes and a swarthy skin. The Professor's Experiment So rare Is lhe habit of accurate observatroTi that a short tlpio ago the New York police, department requested every citizen to set down a description of whatever articles be valued most In his home, and which might bo stolen, in order that Whon; the crime occurred tho description! would not have to be given from. memory, and perhaps be of little use to tho police. Some limo ago Melville Davlsson Post, iho woll-l known author of stories of crime, .told of an experiment made by a college professor to tost* the capabilities of hla students with regard to accurate observation. He explained, to Ihem that a certain Incident was about to take place, that everyone was to watch it as closely ns possible and then describe what had happened. He had hardly ceased speaking when a man with a black mask over his eyes, nose and mouth, and with a streak of red paint smeared across his check, rushed into tho room. Hc was wearing a grey raincoat. In one hand ho had a salt bag full of nails, ar.< in the othor a monkey wrenfih. Inside lhe door he turned and pointing tbe wrench at his pursuer, shouted "Stand back or I'll shoot!" Then ho rushed across tho room, dropped to his knees, flung tho bag on the floor and crying, "There it is; take it," sprung to bis foet and ran out of the room. Untrustworthy Eyes His pursuer burst In shouting, "Give it up, you scoundrel!" and darting over to the bag be picked it up. The professor then sprang from bis chair and exclaimed, "Men, what are you up to here?" whereupon the second man left tho room, and the professor turning to his 25 students asked them to write down what had happened. Not one of them was able lo report it accurately No one was able to give a description of either ot tho men. One witness said that he wore a black coal and a light mask, another that tbe mask was red, another that his mouth was painted red. One said that he carried a club and a pistol Some thought that the pursuer wore a grcysult, another voted for bluo. He was described as carrying a pistol which he dropped several times crying "Get out of here!" One be lieved that he dropped an umbrella on tjie floor, and was ready to swear that he shouted: "Catch that man!" Lives tn Jeopardy Even the half-dozen words of the professor found no fatlhful Boswell, and ho was represented as «aylng, "Hello, what's all this?" and "What's going on here?" Only one student set down approximately what bo bad said. Those students were all, It would be supposed, above the average of Intelligence, and bad minds at least partly trained. The experiment is interesting as proving what small rclianco can be placed upon eye witness testimony oven when It is taken within a few minutes aftor the events to be reported took place. How much less should we credit reports of conversations or of events that are recalled weeks or months later? Yet men's lives have depended upon them In thousands of cases. In one instance, a wealthy manufac turer was attacked and fatally stabbed In tbe presence of his wife. The assailant wore a cap pulled down over bis eyes and a muffler wrapped about tho lower part of bis faco, but the wife swore "from <hc look In his eyes" that tbo murderer wus her cousin, a young cx-soldlcr. The uc cuscd,' however, was able to establish a convincing alibi. Trained Reporters at Fault Suspicion then fastened upon another ex-soldier, who bore a strong resemblance to the cousin. The wife readily identified him, and the servants in the house did likewise, al- thoug they were less positive. Investigation showed that he had nothing to do with tho crime. The honesty of lhe wife and the servants was not questioned, but nevertheless they had placed in Jeopardy the lives of two Innocent men because of their inability to remember what they * MARY McKlNNON - Noted Canadian Pianist Appearing With Anthony Guarino.

Ono said that Dempsey stood with his back to the ring until tho call of tlmo had been sounded twice. Another said that he stood facing Willard, eagerly awaiting lhe signal. What was tbo color of tlie umbrella hoisted over Willard's head when he entered the ring? One expert says it was blue, another tan and another green. Thero Is a conflict as to who struck the first blow, although we should think if it was Wlllard who received it be ought to bo able to settle this point. Few people arc able to say, if suddenly challenged, whether the numerals on the face of their watch are Roman or Arabic, Most of them will have an opinion ns to whether the figure six is one or the olher, whereas most watches have no figure six, tho spaco being occupied by tho second hand. In short, it would appear tbat for all wo really see, about threo quarters of an eyo would be enough for tbe majority of us. | HOSE AND HISTORY $ , , , <$, It la a long way, in one's memory, back to the days of woollen hosiery, when little boys and girls dreaded certain days in the week, because on those days they bad to pup on clean stockings. Tbo wool was not so carefully combed tn then as now, and each stocking was filled with "stickers" that irritated the skin so much that the youngsters spent much of their time iu scratching. Then came cotton, and afler il, silk. Figures are nut available relative to tho sales of silk and cotton hosiery, yet any one with half an eye—thanks to tho present styles—knows that the average woman wears silk hosiery when she is dressed up.—Indianapolis News. | CANDA'S FIRM STAND This policy of "direct action'' has just been applied iu Canada. Since the middle of .May, Winnipeg has been paralyzed by a general strike, enforced by every kind of coercive violence und lawlessness. But tho community stood Us ground, and, after two months of loss and suffering tbe uploslles of "direct action" have been discomfited. Tho peril would be greater in Ibis country, no doubt; but If tho nation showed the same fortitude and resolution the result, we d» not doubt, would be the same. This threat against tjie state can succeed only* if the courage to face it is lacking.—London Morning I'ost. -A> | FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS <■» ( Over a third of all lhe motor cat in Ontario are owned by tanners or drovers, the number being 37,718 out of a total of 109,371 licenses Issued in 1918, Yet it Is but a few months since farmers were urged to denounce tho good redds expenditure as waste. j VACATION WITHOUT REGRETS I $ $ John MaBofleld, in tbe most remarkable of all war poems, "August, 11)14," gave us an Intimate picture of the customary peace of the couutrysldo ns contrasted with the horror that had ust begun to sweep through human life. It has been curious to note the increasing rebuko that nature levelled at- the soul-lorn human being as the war destroyed our belief In tho peace of tho human spirit as contrasted with tho wondrous calm of the external world in which wo live. How unsatisfying most ^vacations were that wo took during thoso hectic years of war, And bow different now! Wc can look out on a beautiful countryside and find its peaceful charm matched In our own hearts. Moreover, t^iero Is that exultation in a now peace of mind that wo havo earned through a just but terrible struggle—Philadelphia Press. GREAT SHIPMENT OF EGGS * DECAYING ON GENOA DOCK GENOA,—Five million eggs brought here by the American steamship Sun early In July have since been decaying on the dock. Tho port authorities say they understand Iho eggs wero consigned to Switzerland, and it is not known what has caused the delay in transit-shipment, except continued labor agitation. Tlio consignment was 2f) duys In reaching Genoa, and arrived during the days of the food shortage in Genoa, \vhibh resulted in disorders.

F.'s Reach Nelson in Dominion- Wide Tour—Here to Investigate Labor Needs lt there is a sufficient demund for them, numbers of experienced women who have given service during tho war, will lie brought^ _put to Canada from England to supply the urgent call for domestic help, stated Miss Gladys Pott, a representative of the British government and a member of llie Hritish Board of agriculture at the Hume hotel yesterday evening. Miss Pott wilh Miss T. M. Glrdler, another government representative und a member of the Women's Roynl Air force, has just concluded a Dominion-wide tour, gathering information ns to how many nf these women could he absorbed into the ranks of Canadian workers. The two women, who arc in khaki, and are respectively from lhe W.A.A.C.'s and the W.n.A.I-Vs, are members of a women's committee appointed by the British government, of which two go to each Dominion un similar work. Miss Pott stated that as soon as immigration starts up next year, women will lie sent out to Canada in drafts, according to the extent of tlie demands mudo by Canada for them.

As a result of their particular line of work during lhe war, Ihey will be well fitted for tlio work they will have to take up in this and other countries. When they are demobilized theso women will receive the same treatment ns soldiers, states Miss Pott. They will be given the opportunity of settling on the land in England, and thoso Who come to Canada will lie given free passage, In the larger Canadian cities hostels wil! be built to receive the women coming out to Canada. Km- ployment iu any part of lhe country ihey wish, as far us possible, will also be found for them by thoso in charge of the hostels. It is pointed oui that women will only be sent out to Canada as fains Canada needs them, and it is to find out approximately how many women tbe country can use. and in what special tines of work, that Miss Holt and Miss Girdler aro louring ihe country, They will be hi the district for Some days, ami then Miss 1'otl will leave for Montreal, where she will sail on Sept, !> for England to report to the government.

"Iceland is not a bleak, Arctic region, embedded in thifk-ribbed ice, though its northernmost peninsula. Ulfstangi, projects a mile north of tho Arctic Circle. "No country on earth of equal size ■onlains so varied and wonderful phe nomena.

FOUR MILLION POLES IN / DIRE NEED OF SUCCOR WARSAW, Poland.—It is estimated that there are 4,000,000 destitute persons in Poland, 'including __.000.000 mothers and children. Por five years ihe struggling armies of Russia and the Central Powers swept hack and' forth over the country. Thousands of houses and buildings were destroyed. Now Hint ponce lias settled upon Ihe rest of the world, Poland is still engaged In frontier warfare. From the Baltic to the Carpathians, on a front three times the length of the former western une, tho Poles are mobilized. Even women and girls are performing military Hervlce, not as their French and American sisters were, In hospitals and ambulances, but on the firing lino with rifles in their hands. Despite these conditions, the new 'Polish government is malting a de leimined effort to care for Its civilians, with the assistanco of allied relief agencies. The American Red Cross has .already sent to Poland dozen trninloads of supplies, clothing, medicine and children's food. What this has meant to the new republic Is summed up In the slatement nf a Palish government official, who told tin? ltC(' (,,'nHH workers: "You are savin ga race which has struggled for Independence for hundreds of years, and are winning their everlasting gratitude and friendship." Money is called lhe circulating me dlum because It is difficult to clrcil late without It, NKW YORK.—Happy the nation that has no history, and equally happy the peoplo that can in such distressful days as these forget world problems and take an Innocent delight in a simple murder mystery, We gather that In the past month or so Japan has been less concerned about the establishing of ecpiallly among the brown and white races and tlio problems raised by Shantung than in a, murder which has appealed to Its love of the sensational, the mysterious and the chivalrous. The story has heen translated fnr tbe New York Tribune, occupying, with appropriate illustrations, nearly a page. It begins with the incident of the early morning milkman, who, on June fi, wbile driving along the bank of the River Shanino noticed something brightly yellow on a silt har. Investigation showed it to bo a suit case with the initials K. Y*. Opened, it was found to contain lhe body of a man, from which the legs and Irunk hnd heen removed. The milkman notified the police and tho hunt was up. In a day or so it was found that the P. Suzuki, a millionaire rice dealer who had left his home in Yokohama to visit offices in Tokio, was strangely missing. His office at Yokohama hod received a wir Juno 1, as follows: "Will be home on second. Don't sell rice, The Confession Put P. Suzuki did not return fin the second, or the third, or fourth, nor was there any answer to telegraphic inquiries, so on the sixth his secretary apprised tho Toklo police, who learned that he had not been seen since the last day of May, Before the police had connected the missing millionaire with tho headless body found in the suitcase, they had learned that the case itself bad been in the possession of two men. who travelled from Toklo In a point near where It was found. One of theso men was described as wearing a mouse colored moustache, and dress- il in Occidental fashion, while the other was a much smaller man, in native garb. While the Toklo police were searching for them.' two men walked into police headquarters. One of them was Yamada, an expert in tiie agricultural department, the other was his young friend and protege, Sozo Watanabe. Said Yamada. "Prefect. 1 have brought of his own accord the murderer of llenzo Suzuki. of Yokohama," and he pointed to his companion. "Do you confess?" Inquired the prefect. "I killed Suzuki," replied Watanabe. "lie was no good a gambler and money shark. 'Hirer men associated wilh him in financial deals were ruined ami killed themselves rathe?' than face disgrace. He is well dead." The Police Puzzled So Watanabe was locked up. Confirmation ef bjs confession if such were needed was supplied by a railway clerk, who Identified him as one of the men in charge of the suitcase. The prisoner seemed absolutely unconcerned, lie ate and slept well and was n great deal less disturbed than Ills friend Yamada Ken, who could neither eat nor sleep, but kept wandering a lion t Ihe jail trying to see or talk to his former friend. Watanabe was put through the Japanese equivalent io the "third degree," but stuck to bis story. He refused to say who was his companion on the train from Toklo or give details of the murder. Perfunctorily Investigating bis record, the police were unable to find that he had known the dead rice speculator, nor tbat he had anything more than a slight acquaintance with the three ruined speculators, who had commit teed hari-kari rather than face the ruin brought upon them by Suzuki's operations. The prefect became convinced that there was more in the mystery than had yet heen revealed and that some hidden motive had actuated the young murderer. Moreover, his previous history Indicated him as about the last person one would associate witli a deed of violence. The Next Confession It remained for Yamada. Ken to remove the mystery and thrill Japan with his story. Walking into the pitfeet of police he announced that ii^1. and not Watanabe, was the murder* r. lie had first, met tlie rice speculator several years ago, and the preceding year when Yamada, as an expert, had been sent hy the Japanese government lo India lo investigate the rice situation there and devise ways and means for relieving lljc Japanese rice famine, he bad taken with him a son of the rice merchant. Suzuki had considered this a great, compliment, and had pro fessed undying gratitude to the young expert, for, from information gathered on the trip by Suzuki, jr., the father had heen abb' lo double his fortune, and lie had told Yamada that if ever he needed funds he was to apply to him. The opportunity presented it self in the May before tho murdei Vamatin, In speculating in rice, had lost about $3,500, which meant ruin tj him. He was badly in debt, and In his extremity applied to the millionaire for a loan of $211,000, Suzuki agreed willingly and the money was paid. A Man and His Friend Two days later the speculator called on Yamada. and without much beating about the bush intimated that in return for the loan he expected Yamada to give him advance Information as to what the government was likely lo do in regard to the rice situation. Yamada indignantly refused, saying that Suzuki had Insulted him. Then the rice dealer demanded that the money should he Immediately relumed. Yamada was unable to return it, beenuso some of It had been spent. Tie was again faced with disgrnce nnd ruin, for the enraged Suzuki threatened to Inform Ills governmental chief, who would immediately discharge him. It was Iheu thut Yamatta made up his mind to murder his enemy. Ile told his friend Watanabe of his plan, from which tbe other tried in vain to dissuade him. He then announced that he would assist in carrying It out, and that should there be a discovery he would confess, since bis own life FOR LADIES Of All Wool in novelty designs, Beautiful creations in contrasting colors.
