Lead us forth, a Church united, Strong, courageous, in Thy might- Lo, the fields are white with harvest, Sheaves to garner ere the night.

Some expressed the view that lie had, but there was practical un- animity that his intention to quit active politics in Canada was very definite, and already man- oeuvres are under way to draw favorable re- cognition to one or another aspirant for the of- iicc."

But it is manifest that MR. Bcnucrr resents any suggestion that he has outstayed his wel- come. "In making his announcement to cau- cus," .\ll<. Llrsirri‘ says, “MR.

Lest Ihere be doubt in the minds of Canadian producers regarding the value of the "Canada Calling" campaigns which have been launched in important consummg centres in the United Kingdom and which are being continued throughout the present year, the Department of Trade and Com- merce reports that. in some in- stances sales of Canadian produce increased by from 20 to 100 per cent during the weeks in whch these campaign; have been held.

What Is the source of the strength i of the modern movement for de- potlsm? where does it come from? In its two dlfierent forms is comes from the motives or end; which it is sought to accomplish. Ono, the Communism of Russia, asks for economic equality; the other, the Nazi Socialism of Germany and the Fascism of Italy, asks for nat- ional efficiency and national ‘sola- tion. Both of these have this in common. They lead straight to the suicide of civilization-Nicholas Murray Butten.

Bin-In answer to questions as to where we dbtributed the 174 Hungarian Partridge-s, which w; had trapped for distribution in the Province. I would say, they were iberated as follows:

Conway; Glenwood. Lot 8; F“. one Cove; Forest View; Bllersllc; Alberton: Kildare; Tignjsh; s”. Jow Pond; Elnura; New Zealand; Connaught. station and West. Cape.

I mfly 58y. that we have had different reports from parties where those Partridges were liber- ated. They have seen the flocks many times and they seem m be doing well. We have lately received reports that they are mating, a. DB1!‘ dxonplns out of the flock

every day or no.

We areof the opinion that those section-s will be well served by those birds liberated, and during the conung winter, we will under- takotosendoutsomoonnqueat from parties in sections of the Province, when no Hungarian Partridge now exist.

FARMS FOB IMMIGRANTS

Sin-fliers is a great deal of in- terest in this Province, at the pres- Elll $11M. in lvgfltd to the Hornby Immigration Scheme, with the idea of settling families by the Imperial Government in this Prov- ince.

We have received many letters from people having farms to sell. anxious to know about what prices are being paid for farm lands; what the conditions demanded are: and to those people and the gen- eral public, 1 would say, that. our Department had s. very distinct understanding with Mr. H. S. Poi;- ter, the representative of the Homby Plan, and this understand- ing ls, that our Department would be used to a considerable extent in gathering information through- out the Province, in regard to farms that were available for purchase; the condition: of such farms and the price thereof.

If this scheme ls taken up in ‘he Province. their idea is, that the

Incoming sununor, but the farmers will have s right. antrprivilege of harvesting and selling their crops, and the Settletnent Board will 1m- utediately make preparation for the arrival of the families from the Old Country.

They have osured me that the! will pay cash for all farms; equip some with livestock, and farm im- plements; erect buildings, and where necessary, repaint existing buildings; renovate the farms. so that the new families when the! arrive, will find everything ready. except to light. the fire 1n tho kitchen stove.

We have decided to open up I- Bureau in this Department. tlsttns all farms in the Province fonsale, and I really believe, that we can be of great benefit to the former! who wish to dispose of their land. by taking up this work.

To those who are tetestcd. I would commend m their perusal. an add which they will find in this isoues of The Guardian. and if interested and not. answerin! immediately, then out add out and hold same for 11mm! 1159-
