Any acre of either wheat or oats, on the farm on which the competitor lives, may be selected for 1900.

(a.) Ome mark will be awarded for every pound in weight of grain of good quality obtained from the acre in 1900.

(b.) Before the grain is barvested in 1900, a quantity of large heads shall! be selected to yield enough heavy, plump seeds to sow one acre in 1901; and two marks will be awarded forevery pound ir weight of grain of good quality cbtained from the acre in 190).

(c.) Before the grain is harvested in

1901, a quantity of Isrge beads shall be selected to yield erough heavy, plump seeds to sow one acre in 1902; and three marke wil! be awarded for every pound in weight of grain of good quality obtained from the acre in 1902. ;

(d.) The competitor who obtains the largest number of marksin the total of the three years will receive the first prize in the province; the competitor whe ob- tains the second largest number of marks, the second prize; aad 80 On for ten prizes in every province.

For example :—Total yield of wheat from seed-acre plot ia—

1900 may be 25 bushele, which equals 1,500 Ibs., thus making 1,500 marke ; 1901 may be 30 bushels, which equals 1,800 lbs., thus making 3,600 marke ; 1902 may be 35 bushels, which equals 2,100 lbe., thus making 6,300 marks. Total number of marks 11,400.

Boys and girls who may desire to enter thie competitioa will, we have no doub receive full instructions concerning it on application to Professor Robertson; and we hope that Prinee Edward Island boys and girls will be found ahead at the end of the trial.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Railroad Gazette states that there is more activity in railway building in the United States thie year than any year since 1892. It gives detailed returns showing 2,125 miles completed for the first six months, against 1,181 miles for the same period last year.

—The Winuipeg Tribune—s §Liberal

paper—remarke that another large award is to be given by the Dominion Parlia- ment to the railway promoters, in addi- ‘ida to che tnillioa* of eXeessive capital- ization already suthorized, and says ; Of the merits of the grant ymade east of Lake Superior and westof the Saskatchewan, file can be know here, but, if they are f he same rort a- the subsidies given to he compan 'e» Oj erating in this province, thew are buretacy | robberies of the peo~ ple.

—Of Sir Charles Tupper the Banner (L bern ) rave: travelling iban any public life in Canada, He likes te be busy. When h- is not making speeshes he is ruehing from one side of the world to the other, and when he i¢ not rushiag be is making epeeches.” Unquestionably Bir Charlesia a remarkable man. His great activity stamps bim as of the same type as Gladstons, There are many ex: cellent features in his spaeches. One strong point about them is that they in- culeate the same loyalty to Canada and the Empire everywhere. A united Canada and a united Empire is Sir Charles Tup~ per’s policy. Another good pointie the circumstance tbat they ere not tricky or contradictory. Sir Charles ie not a Laar- ier, ready to say in one place what he denies elsewhere, or to advecate what he does not believe. Jobn Ball frankness characterizes Sir Charles, and it is a bet- ter quality than Parisian cunning.

—It wasa strange correspondence that passed between Senator Sce't and Mr. McInnes, the late Governor “of British Columbia. Obviously Mr Scott was di- recting the Lieutenant-Goversor what to do from the beginning tothe end of the provincial troubles. The iden was the

Dundas “He does more other man in

union of the Liberals on Dominion lines inthe province. Mr. MoelInnes writes triumphantly tothe Secretary of State

when Mr Joe Martin was made Premier): “This will mean the unification of what was @ badly disorganized party and I trust you will be disposed to recognize the ser-

vice my action has rend- ered here.” A wmonth later Mr Scott began to think that the

Governor and Mr. Manin would not pull through. Thereupon he expressed doubts concerning the wisdom of the action Mr. McInnes had taken. This dissatisfied Mr. McInnes. Afier the defeat of Mr. Martin the Ottawa Government promptly “recognized” the Governor’s services by dismissing him withott allow~ ing bim the privilege ef entering adefence. What right had Mr. Scott to direct a pro- vincial governor huwto deal with his Ministers? It was an intervention by Ot- tawa in locel affairs, for which there is no warrant. But there ie a lessen init, It shows that the Federal Ministers have their fingers in every provincial pie.

_—Speaking before ‘the British Federa- tion,” of Paris, a few evenings ago, Mr. Tarte said :

“Gentlemen, you will visit the Canadian exhibition (here ia Farie.) We have built no palace ; we are net a frivolous nation. But we have brought here the proof of our fecundity. After having visited the Cana- dian exhibition——whieh, however, I regret to say it, ie not whatit ought to be, and does not give an absolutely exact idea of

the resources of my country—youn will ask ,

meif France would not have done well to entertain kindly feelings more often towards us, I wish to make no reproach- es—thie is not the place to make them. But may Iread what M. Reclus wrote twelve years ago and what I read a few days since as by accident? ‘Canada,’ he eaid,‘was the most beautiful revival of oureelves On @ cOmtinent where there was room fer the greatest nation of the future.

Franee let the chance go miserably. But despita 125 years of reparation, it is the country over seas which holde the moat

Frenchmen who haveremained French. A frivolous race, we seareely suspected it, and we and ouremigrante have been submerged near or far from theré ia the ‘allophobes’ or the ‘allophiles.’

**T will guard myself againet being toe severe. Brat I will allow myself to make this reproach to the Franee I leve with all the strength of my soul, that she does aot think of as as wethink of her, I would thet your diplomacy would never forget that on the other side of the seas your tricolor floats over the heads of three million Frenchmen.”

And look at it well, that’s what we like to see every customer do, ex- amine our youths suits well, and if you find any- thing wrong tell us so, if there’s room for improve- ment we want to know it, and we'll make it.

We don’t think there’s much room for improve’ ment in that all wool serge suit of ours at $6.50, unlesss we improve the profit; when you see the suit you'll acknowledge that we could do that if we wished, but we don’t.

t Won't Bite

Any man’s pocket book, if he buysa nice covert top coat for the chilly evening. He will be richer too although he does spend $6.00 for one of those nice light cord ones.

He isvery apt to save more than that in doctor’s bills before the summer’s over. These coats are not too heavy; they’re just right something a little better if you want it, $8.00, $10.00, $12.00.

But it's Apt to

Be very warm during the days of this month, we would advise you to see our hot weather underclothing. There’s the cheap grade at 40c the suit, then there’s better al! the way to $3.00 the suit,

Sut you mustiask jto see the $1.00 kind,

4 that’s the kind we claim to be all that can be asked for in comfort-giving underwear.

Have a Fit

When you are buying a hat; its Just as easy to get a, hat righ‘ as wrong, and its not halfso headachey. ,

We claim to be able to fit any head. Surely one of; our 6000 “Christy” felt hats at from 50c to $2.00 will ; doit. If you don’t want a felt why we have 32,000 § strawsjall the way from 5c to $2.00 each. The $1.00 hat in both is our speciality.

But be sure you get a fit, don’t take one untilfyou

get; it’s here somewhere, no doubt about that. -.<j™
