pressed Canadian farmers get bene- fits going and coming in the trade agreement signed Saturday between this Dominion and the United KIIIgdOm- They get important con- ‘cessicns for what they sell and hope to sell in the United King- dom'markets and may well expect Io get lower prices in some of the goods they buy because of the low- er Canadian tariffs against Great Brizziili.

In expressing satisfaction to- night over the result of the nego- tiations, Hon. Robert, Weir, Minis- ter of Agriculture explained that from one end of the agreement to the other, Canadian flgficuli-"Pe has yielded nothing. The advanta- ges they will receive will be far reaching-

SIR. ALEXAIVDER MCKENZIE CELEBATES 85th BIRTHDAY

LONDON, Aug. 22 - (By The Canadian Pressh-“The Grand Old Mari of Music." celebrated his 85th birihdny today. Sir Alexander Mac- Krnzie is one of the few men who civirlook back to intimate acquaint- ance with Liszt, whom he first met 311 GPTmBnY- He was born in Edin- burgh, and educated‘ at. Sender- shausen, Germany. and the Royal "Academy of Music, London. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Ac- ademy, and has had honors con- lfcrred on him by other European musical institutions. Sir Alexander tis a violinist and teacher of music ‘and a conductor of European fame, ‘besides being n. celebrated compos- er. For many years he was principal bi the Royal Academy cf Music.

He was a mere lad when he met ltlie famous composer Liszt, while playing second violin in the Lucal Orchestra at Sondcrhausen, where ithc great composer ussed to bring over new works from Weimar for ‘trial performances. Liszt took a per- sonal interest in the young and rpromlsing Scot. A friendship grew nip between them which lasted uri- til Liszt's death.

Sir Alexander was knighted by Queen Victoria. in 1805, and in 1922 received the Knight Commander- bhip of the Royal Victorian Order. ‘ He is famous for his wit. Once ‘when he was rehearsing an opera and a, singer displayed erratic ideas of time and rhythm he pleaded gently, "Please do remember that you‘ are singing to an orchestra, not km elastic band."

' i "Ihy did you leave the hospital without the doctor's permission?" "Oh, Just to show there was no iii-

Cattle men here tonight declared that the lifting of the restrictions would mean at last $3.00 a head more shippers would receive and in many cases much in access of that figure. It would eliminate one ‘of the great uncertainties which make the shipping of cattle hazard- ous for Canadian exporters from a. financial standpoint. ' _

Canada will receive a preference of two shillings per eight bushels on wheat entering the British market- Australia gets the same. This works out at six cents a bush- el at par or about five cents under present rates of exchange. Here again it marks the culmination cf a long ‘agitation although a consi- derable body of Western Canadi- have expressed the opinion that it will not help much because the two Domlriions affected. produce much more than the United King- dom can absorb. They argue that

accordingly the tariff wiii not help .

them any more than the tariff on wheat in the United States, a. wheat exporting country, helped the farmers there.

In government circles here it is contended that the agreement will lielp very much- The greatest bene- fit of the treaty will be action to prevent Russia. from breaking the wheat market.

—RANGE LIGHTHOUSE ON FIRE-Shortly before eight o'clock on Sunday evening the Summerside firemen were called out for a slight blaze at the light house at the east end of Summerside. Mr. Fred Mut- tart, the keeper of the light had lit the lamp as usual and gone out to see a sick friend in St. Eleanor-s. Shortly after, some children who were playing on the shore noticed smoke coming from the top of the lighthouse. They notified Mr. Harry I-lcckbert who went at once to the scene. Mr. Adams went up for Mr. Muttart Mr. Muttart gave him the keys and they went down to the fire, before leaving, they tele- phoned to the fire department. Mr. Heckbert tried. to get up the three flights of stairs to the place where the light was but it was so hot that it was impossible. When the fire- men cume, however, they soon ex- tinguished the flames with the chemical engine. The fire was con- fined to the very top of the light- house where the lamp is kept. It is supposed that the lamp exploded.

--BLESSING OF THE BOATS- The time-honoured custom of bles- sing the fishing boats was held on Sunday at Mont Carmel. The day was perfect and it was a pretty sight to see the boats grouped in the little harbour and the people congregated on the shore. There were about sixty boats in the har- bour. R/ev. Theodore Gallant per- formed the ancient ceremony from one of the boat/s, going from boat to boat blessing each in turn. The choir was assembled on a high bank and the whole scene was very im- pressive. At the close of the ser- vice the people entered the Church of Our Lady of Mont Carmel, which is situated near the shore for the final ceremonies and Benedic- tion. Many people from ull over the Province attended this ancient rite of the fisher folk of Prince County-S. ‘ -

Harvesting is new general in the R-airie Provinces, except in North- ern Alberta. and a few districts in Northern Saskatchewan where crops are ripening slowly. Crop conditions in Alberta have been improved by ‘rains and cooler weather during the past week, but continued dry weather has caused further dam- ago to crops in Saskatchewan and to late coarse grains in Manitoba. In Quebec growing crops have been further improved by warm weather and rain, although the lot- ter has delayed haying. In Ontario the general outlook is promising, following a period of war-m, dry weather. In thg Maritime Provinc- es the quality of late cut hay will be affected by wet weather; other crops are progressing satisfactorily. In British Columbia heavy rains have ‘delayed harvesting of graimi otherwise conditions are promising. Details follow:

Growth of sugar beets con-i tinues satisfactorily. saskatchewanl Northern Area-Good average wheat yields are expected. Coarse grains generally are satisfactory. Saskat- chewan southern Area-The average yield of wheat will be under five bushels per acre in some districts. Grasshoppers are causing further damage to coarse grains. Light rain fell in some districts this week. The feed situation is not so serious as last yearbut. will be inadequate in many districts. Pasturage is only fair. Manitoba-Wheat cutting has
