This represents an increase of only 516,000 or less than one per cent. liicreases are shown in the revenue from farm animals, wool, dairy pro- ducts, fruit and vegetables. poultry and eggs, maple products and flax fibre. but these increas- es are largely offset by the decrease in revenue for field crops. fur farming, tobacco, clover and grass seed and honey. The gross agricultural revenue for 1935 by provinces in order of value is as follows: On- tario $313,077,000, Quebec $174,758,000, Sas- katchewan $154,896,000, Alberta $141,093,000, Z\I.iiiitoba $56,530,000, British Columbia $38,- $0I0.000. N ova Scotia $27,042,000, New Bruns- wick $25,278,000, Prince Edward Island $12,- 397.000- The net agricultural revenue is estimated by deducting from the gross revenue the value of such items as feed for farm animals and poultry, seed and uiiinerchantable grain and vegetables produced on the farms for home use. The pre- liminary estimate of the net agricultural revenue for 1935 is placed at $609,318 as compared with $577,952,000, the revised estimate for 1934, an increase of $31,366,000, or almost 5% per cent. The gross agricultural wealth of Canada for 1935 is estimated at $5.797,104,0oo as compared with $5,620,173,o0o in 1934, an increase of 3 per cent. The following is the estimate of the gross agricultural wealth by provinces in 1935: On- tario $1,638,o35.o0o, Saskatcliewaii $1,3o5.791,- 000, Quebec $1,038,9.i7,0o0, Alberta $879,118,- 000, Manitoba $420,186,000, British Columbia $188,041,000, Nova Scotia $132.6i8,00o, New Brunswick $126,252,000, Prince Edward Island $67, 510,000.

Mrs. Scorr fell from 11 car fracturing her elbow, and the Archdeacon, who has just celebrated his 75th birthday, suffered a severe chill which was likely to develop more serious symptoms. 5 I I Wliatever else may be said of Premier ABERIIART, he is to be commended for his.deter- iiiiiiation to maintain the independence of Alberta interest in homes thousands of miles remote from the scene. It will be read. too, with assurance justifi- able by reason of the care taken to obtain the news in accurate‘ detail. Behind the news will stand the prestige and reputation of the Canad- ian Press. Unfortunately, the public does not always stop to check the authenticity of news when first received. Last evening at Six O'clock. false radio statements were broadcast announc- ing the rescue at the Moose River mine as hav- ing been effected. On the strength of this an- nouncement bells were rung from the fire sta- tion and churches in Chai-lottetown—so great was the public interest. It was some time later before the real facts became known. This is "Of the first occurrence of this kind. It emphasizes the point made recently by the Toronto Globe that garlilcd radio news reports constitute not only a nuisance but a menace to the public peace of mind. Cost Of The War Canada is still paying for the last war at the rate of approximately $160,000,000 per year. To 1935 the last war cost Canada more than $4,3oo,ooo,ooo, or an average of more than $200.00o,o00 per year from 1915. The year ending March 31, 1919, was the peak, when Caiiada paid out $536.000.0C_>0 Ill W31’ costs. Annual total thereafter declined for three years; but since 1922 the yearly bill has stood at around $160,000,000. The lowest was $147.- oo0.0oo for 1924. The most recent year for which totals are complete, 1934, stood at $169.- show little change from 1934. _ ‘ Accordingly, of every dollar of revenue it collects, the Government at Ottawa is spending _more than 40 cents to pay for the last war. Can- ada's annual Federal revenue is about $375.000.- ooo. — These figures were compiled by Grant Dex- ..ter, Ottawa correspondent of the Winnipeg Eree Press. for Clifford Siftoii, of Toronto.

Among those alleged to be slated for the $2,000 per annum or 3% of their gross turnover are the Canadian Stores, Simpsons of Halifax, Agiicw-Surpass, Ross Drug, Baird Drug, East- ern Hay and Feed, Canadian Canners, Davis and Fraser, Woolworth, Metropolitan.

The parallel between the pro-war tensions which ended in the Great, Wu and the European situation to- day is a matter of almost universal observation. Why should not the processes which brought about war in 1914 operate to the same "end in 1936? There is just one factor which may save the situation, and that is the conception of preserving peace by collective action which was given to the world by the Great War. Impotent. as the League has been, flouted and repudiated as it has been, it has yet, succeeded in putting into the mlnd.r,- of the people of the western nations the idea that national power should not. be applied to the furthering of partloiilar ends on national initiat- fire but that it. should be devoted, in conjunction with other nations. to keeping the peace.—The win- nlpeg Free Press.

If the Clerk is of the oplnoii that the information sought. may be found In some blue book or some other official publication, he refuses the member then and there.

Further, thousands of dollars have already been lost to the City by leaving taxes uiicollected until the parties or assets disappear and cannot be collected.

When the Juice is Just made up of water matter as the urine from the kidneys it is called an excretion, when the juice has to be used over again. as the bile manufactured in the liver, it is called a secretion. Another paint that may be of in- terest to readers is the difference between the ductless glands and other glands. when a Juice flows out from the organ by means of I. little tube or duct into some other 013811. as the bile flows out of the liver into the small intestine, it is I gland with a. duet. If the Jules simply passes into the blood as tho blood flows through it, it is called a ductless gland. And it would appear that while the orimua with a. duct im- portant Juices Into other organs or lnto the blood for certain general pui-poms as the bile from the liver to break up fats for digestion, the Juice from the ductless glands have more of ii. regulating effect. For instance if too much Juice is pour- ed into the blood from the thy- roid gland in the neck all the pro- cesses of the body are "speeded up" the heart beats faster, the muscles work faster, breattiliig is more rapid. If not enough Juice is ma.nufa.ct.ured then all the proces- ses are "slowed up"—heart beats slowly. muscle action slower, fat accumulates in the body because there is less action and less heat. The pituitary gland lying on the floor on the skull, not any larger than a good-sized bean or fllbert. is divided into three parts, the front or anterior part of which produces a secretion which has about twelve different dfects upon the body. The adrenal glands situated one on top of each kidney are also dual.- less glands with great. regulating effects upon the body processes. All these ductless glands with their regulating effects are sup- posed to work together for the general good of the body. When one act; more powerfully than it. should, as with the thyroid, 3. por- tion of it ' it in line 13$. other glands. It is wonderful to think that be- sides the large useful duct glands be removed to bring the workings of the of the body we have these ductless glands to adjust or regulate the body processes to one another.
