The idea. was to encourage a more general use of home-made articles and so reduce the importation oi many commodi- ties the raw material of which is produced in this country. A good deal oi press publicity preceded the exhibition and as a result there was themselves against foreign compe- tition by the highest tariff wail in the world.

After the war a1 federal grant of $20,000.000 was; made toward improving the high- ways, and this federal aid was sub- sequently increasd by $2,000,000.

A car ferry from Saint John to Zigby. across the Bay of Fundy, that will shorten the duration of the trip from Montreal to Halifax by five hours. is being considered by he Directors of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway and may be put in op- ratioll next spring it is stated. al- though not yet officially announced or decided. When the water gap is thus bridged by the projected ferry he C. P. R. route from Montreal to Halifax will commend itself as :1 great time-saver not only to pas- sengers between the two cities but to many others in the mainland provinces who wish to make close connections with ocean steamships making transatlantic voyages. It will be surprising if the CPR. car ferry shall be in operation before the promised new O.N.R. car fcrry for the Capes route is completed. Many voters prefer to be on the winning side and have but little preference for one candidate over another except he has the better chance of becoming a winner. Peo- ple of this'sort of mentality study the straw votes and the betting odds. These are by no means ‘m- failible guides. From both the bet- ting odds and the straw. or post- card vote, the indications are that Hoover will be elected President of the United States by a vast major- ity. Such wide publicity as has been given to the indications refer- red to undoubtedly strengthen Hoover's chances of victory.
