Halifax has increased from ‘M33119 in 1911 to 70.203, a mntark- able increase due largely no doubt to the employment afforded in the building of the Atlantic Terminals and also to the influx of soldiers during the war. This is, so far as the incomplete returns show.

Current Comment

Party. either out of compassion or decided either that he was unlit for so important a position, or else the duties were too serious and difficult for his baby constitution, and so they decided to relieve him oi’ all these responsibilities. .This was not a little factlonal side de- cision, but on official determination of the Farmers’ party at large and to this punpose they nominated {their president Mr. R.W.E. Bunaby to oust the Liberal lender from Ontario, in this constituency. lt is in the denouement of this inci- ‘dent that the announced marriage ‘has been called o! and the l-lon.

King could mot indulge s0 vain a hope in open gfact, but if the electorate could only be hoodwinked into the be- alietf that there was an affinity and a "co-ordination," he opined that it might save same of his candl- d-ates from their final destruction, and so he and his press assiduous- ly cultivated the project, now dash- ed to the ground by the Farmers’ leader in his declaration.

Reports from various ‘parts of the West are to the effect that the past ‘ten days’ hot weather has injured the crop considerably. The result will be that the number of harvesters‘ needed will {be smaller than at first anticipated. This is unfortunate in more respects than one, ‘but it is just as well that we recognise the fact now before thousands of unnecessary men are brought in from outside points to add to the unemployment etitualion‘.
