Temperatures overnight in some ccntrw were unoeasonably low. Winnipeg had its first chilly night in 3 month as the thermometer dropped to 66 degrees.

Testimony of drought ravages was received here today in the crop report from Ottawa of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

The report stated the Prairie grain harvest is definitely estab- lished as one of the lightest in many years. With coarse grains suffering more from drought than wheat.

Further stress on the ravages of dry heat was found in the searle Grain Company's fourth crop re- port. Based on 1,148 individual re- ports. it indicated the prairie wheat yield would show at only 215900.000 bushels.

It placed average condition of wheat crops of the three provin-

BORDEAUX, France, July 28- In every hotel, restaurant and cafe of Bordeaux waiters struck work today because the yd.on't want tips.

In the hotel where this cable is being written only one maid is left. She is a relative of the proprietor. The remainder of the staff, in obedience to the strike call from attractive young men in blue ber- ots, wearing red arm-bands. marched out half an hour ago.

Restaurants, where proprietors I!!! donning n waiter's apron while Madame does the cooking, look apprehensively to a. gloomy future. The small cafes where Monsieur attends the euaomers while Ma- dame sits at the receipt of custom are the only establishments doing business as usual. '

With banners flying, the strikers paraded the streets this afternoon. but no untoward incidents oc- curred.

The employers decline to put. I new wage scale into effect until I bill suppressing tips becomes law. The strikers want the new wan scale to become immediately ef- fective, and they add these words which deserve to be written in let- ters of gold:

“Hotel. cafe and restaurant em- ,.1oyeea do not want to be remun- erated by tips. This method of pay- ment is too uncertain and is an affront to their professional dig- nity. As compensation we nix fixed wages or I guaranteed minimum permitting our mom a to meet the needs of life. We shall struggle for the satisfaction of these legit- imate claims in calm and dignity."

Presented to C. N. Tel. egraphs By M i gs Penelope Howatt of Crapaud, Veteran Lady elegraphist.

In connection with the recent “Old Tillie" telegraphers celebna. tion of the 100.h anniversary of the establishment of Morse Code ten. graphy, an interesting discovery ha; been made as a result of a Search for old dzcuments.

Miss Penelope 1-lowatt has recov. ered and presented to the Canadian National Telegraplis. to be added in the collection of old instruments and documents in the archives 3; Toronto, the crlglnal "abstract" book of the New York, Newfound. land and London Telegraph Com. pany used at Crapziud, Prince Ed- ward Island from 1860 to 1875.

The old book is in excellent con- dltl-n and the entries. relating in the addresses, signatures and charg- es on all telegrams to and from Crapaud, may be plaln‘y read. This period was prior to the days of ziie railway, when Victoria nnd Ci':ip:.iid were great shipping centres for ‘.116 district.

The "flyleai" states: “This book was commenced by Milton w.i‘..-h, i, operator, Crapaud, P. E. Island. A.

‘D. 1069. and continued by Bedford

l Allen, cperator. 1813. J. P. Norman, ‘ operator, 1875.

Miss I-lowatt. who is the oldest female Morse operator in Canada, was taught telegi-aphy by Mr. Nor- man who was brought from Nova Scotla for that purpose when the telegraph office was transferred to the business premises of her bro- ther. George I-lcwntt, who was the lcadirig merchant and shipper in the district at that time.

Miss Howatt. who was born March 28. 1843, and is therefore 93 years old. succecdrd Mr. Norman as op- erator in charge in 1876. and re- mained as such until May, 1915, when the "highway" line from Charlottetown t) the mainland was abandoned in favor of the railway line route for telezrnph wires.

Names still familiar. as well as those not easily recalled. may be seen in the abstract record. John Douse. A. C. Leard. Morris and Hyndman, Dodd and Rogers, w.w. Sullivan, Longworth and C:., James Duncan. John F. Robertson, Car- vcll Brothers. C. A. Hyndmﬂn. GW- Dealols, J. C. Pope, Hon. Edward Palmer, Heartz and Co., Alley and Davies and others. will identify old associations in Charlottclovm while Nell Macleod and Stephen Mao- Ncll will be recxgnlzed as familiar summerside names of the past.

Miss Howatt still lives at crapaud. Despite her years she is still as keen as when she worked the Crapaud wire. Her eyesight and hearing are good and she enjoys nothing better than ii game of bridz€- _

she eats sparingly and her diet consists chieﬂy of milk and. whole‘ wheat bread.
