COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL. CANADA


A careful canvass made OF a num-
Der Of men farming In a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cents a bushel. The
average freight rate Is not over Is
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight IS
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
of TN cents and for his high-grade
wheat OF 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large profit as the farmer
has every right to EXPECT. It is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level. A mat
ter Of Importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:

A. j. Anderson and sent to the station
for investigation. The officer found
him acting in a suspicious manner in

After Dupont was sent to the station
officer Harrington made a warrant
against him charging him with break
ing into a Greek stand a few nights
ago and a charge of being a dangerous
and suspicious person was placed
against the negro, so that the officers
now believe they can convict him on
both charges.
Dupont will be given hearing be-

Mr.. Randolph is strong and force

A chaplain once said that when men
find that a chaplain does not come up
to their ideal of a christian man, his
influence is gone. Chaplain Randolph
has been a chaplain in the army for
over thirteen years and the verdict or
the men is that He is all right"
The verdict of many of those who
have heard Chaplain Randolph at
Warrington is that he delivered the
best discourses on the subjects treated
that they have ever heard.
Chaplain Randolph will preach at
