A child, suggests the Ottawa Journal, should be allowed to evolve according to his ability- and not nccessarilyt along lines suitable for his. brothers. Some of the advice, meted out of old, contained much homely truth, but, good as it was, seldom applied equally to all classes. State- ments were accepted as unanswerable that to- day are obviously but half truths. Precepts set down in fine Spencerian hand at the top of copybook pages were excellent generalities, but sometimes when followed resulted in misfit; here and there.

“.~\im at a star," was a bit of advice much approved. Because the statement was unquali- fied many a child has been urged to desire the unattainable. A star is a small target at long range-and all the world is not macle of Bisley material. Hope can run too high_ Limitations arc safeguards to be admitted, not restrictions to be ignored.

Manitoba, which has a ten-year wheat crop average of 34.832400 bushels, this year will have 53,000,000 bushels, the largest since 1922, ac- cording to the Provincial Department of Agri- culture estimates, and there will also be 44,000,- 000 bushels of oats and 37.000,00o bushels of barley. As the prices for wheat are on the best average since 1929, it is evident that Manitoba has been singularly fortunate in this year’s har- VCSI.

Blake-up and the fixed look which it lends its addicts is practiced with more 0r less art- fice throughout the feminine world. A letter to one of the London papers touches on a phase of this which we have all noticed perhaps, but never analyzed. “Recently I visited the sea- side," says the writer, "and was flattered to find myself the object of attentive curiosity until I realized that the ladies who met me with arch- ed eyebrows were not surprised or delighted. but merely plucked, and therefore incapable of any other expression."

The _Tul_v export of living animals was valu- ed at $2,403,838 of which $2,300,947 went to the lfnited States. A year ago the amount was 351476.750. The animals included 874 horses to the United States, 5 to Barbadoes and 23 to Newfoundland. There were 22,383 cattle weighing over 700 pounds to the United States, 73t to the United Kingdom, 215 to Newfound- land and 54 to St. Pierre. Cattle for the im- proving of stock numbered 727 of which 547 went to the United States, r74 to Newfoundland and 6 to China. Three mink were sent to the United Kingdom atndjhrse foxes to St, Pierre.

Mr. N. A. Chesterfield. a Montreal business man, has been painting a rather gloomy picture as the result of his investigation of world con- ditions on a recent visit to Europe. Though his survey caused him to feel that “the worst is yet to come," however, Mr. Chesterfield told the Rotarians be thought people were entitled to be.- lievc that the forces of evolution which were constantly at work would avert such an economic collapse as that which appeared possible to such men as Sir George Prtisb, llilairc liclloc and Sir Samuel iloarc. "That such men have the cottrage to express their convicions when at times they know they will be derided is one of the safeguards against a major upset,” the speaker thought. “It tends to convert revolution into evolution and applies the brake to passions and prejudices.”

France's population has been de- cltnng for many years.

The old empire was weak. had no will of its own, was defenceiess and represented an open invitation to foreign powers to Intervene in its affairs.

But. being a foreigner 1n a country where everyone 1s so fr endly and helpful 1s no hardship whatsoever; on the contrary it 1s a very pleasant. experience. . Many times, during the, winter, will I be telling our American people of the not too wet-known Island of Prince Edward, where the folks make the "foreigner" feel at. home, and where sea, sky, land and people are on the level.

Your fine oysters and lobsters, your toothsotne potatoes and luc- ious strawberries. are known not only for their size. but. for their quality, and wtho shouid appreciate this better than we. your ne ghbors from the States; and what. a. climax 1t is, with the flavor of these de- lightful viands still on our Ilm, to crors your bender, homeward bound, wearing a. beautifully blended sliver fox furrthat. seems to symbodze all the mellowness and sunlight of your Island!

I am certain that. my fellow-men will vacation on your lovely Island 1n increasing numbers as the years go by. May you Islanders, whenyou are "foreigners" 1n our country, find the same deiight, and the same welcome that. they will find.
