Considerable farm machinery was lost also, including r binder, hay mower and potato digger. _ Origin of u-e fire is unknown. It broke out shortly before l0 o'clock.

Pleased With ‘in. Election” Forecast

OTTAWA. July 6 --(CP)—-Sever- al members of the Commons said W438i’ they and their colleagues were pleased with Prime Minister Mackenzie King's statement Fri- dlly l-hll “l do not think there will be a general election before them is another sitting of the House af- ter this session."

They said that the statement came as somewhat of a surprise, be- cause prime ministers as a rule were careful about predicting when

an election might or might not take place. While the life of the present

parliament does not expire un/tll 1950 it was not taken for granted that no general election would come before that time.
