BILE report was ordered by the house
banking committee today on the SEN

The committee struck out of the bill
the proposal by Senator Smith to

AS adopted the measure is amend
ed to provide that no national bank

in any event to issue circulating
notes based on commercial paper in
excess of 100 per cent of its unim-

The bill originally read 80 per
cent, as the reserve board recon-

make it 80 per cent of the total of
125 per cent of capital and stock.

Two Kinds OF Farmers.

There are two kinds Of farmers.
One comes to town with. wagon
empty and returns home with it full;
the other comes to town with a full
wagon and returns home with an
empty wagon. The former always
has something to buy and the latter
always has something to sell. The
man that always has something to
sell serves both himself and Others
well. For he not only supplies his
own table with fresh vegetables at
home, but he supplies others tables
at a reasonable cost. What we need
is more producers.

mails HOwled Around Them.
OTTAWA, Canada.-To be trapp-
ed and surrounded by band of hun
CRY wolves in the wilds of the Gait
neau forests through the long hours
of the night without food or weapons
of any description is the terrifying
experience which befell three Roman
Catholic priests on Thursday last
while on their way to Mount Laurier,
the recently created judicial circuit.
For six hours in the night the par
ty of four, including the chauffeur,
sat within a ring of fires in a desert
ed shanty about II miles from Mt.
Laurier in the heart of dense for
est while a band of wolves prowled
around the circle Of fire terrifying
the party with their bowls.
The party, which consisted of the
Rev. Fathers Carriere of Hull, Des-
jardis of Gracefield and Labbelle of
Aylmer, started from Hull in an au-
tomobile accompanied by a chauffeur
on Thursday morning bound on a
visit to Bishop Brunei at Mount Lau-
rier. When within about II miles
of their destination, about Z o'clock
in the evening, while running
through a dense forest on the Devlin
road the auto broke down and the
trio disembarked while the chauffeur
endeavored to locate the trouble.
The break to the machine was a
serious one, dusk had fallen and the
members of the party were sitting
around on the grass chatting when
the stiffness of the woods was bro
ken by the long drawn out howl OF a
wolf. This was quickly answered by
others, and the party realized that a
pack of wolves was drawing near.
The automobile was still disabled
and seeing an old disused shanty at
some distance from the road the par
ty decided to take refuge there.
At the suggestion of Father Car
riere a number of fires were built
around the shanty and the terrified
watchers armed themselves with
stout sticks, the only weapons at
hand, and watched through the night
the gaunt shapes of a number OF
wolves which prowled around the
circle of flame watching chance to
break through.
''It was the most terrifying expert
ence which I ever went through, y
said Father Carriere. "We had no
food, no weapons, and there, with
just the protection of the fires we
haG lighted, we passed the long
night, which seemed like a year,
hemmed in by circle of famished
beasts. We dared not rest; we had
constantly to replenish our fires with
brush to keep the wolves from rush
ing us, and it was not until 4 O'Clock
Friday morning, when dawn began
to break, that the wolves skunk away
and left U.s."

Sir Ernest hopes to meet the Ross

One great difficulty that confront
