CANADIAN WHEAT
COMMANDEERED
HIGH GRADE GRAIN IN ELEvA.
TORS FROM FORT WILLIAM TO
ATLANTIC COAST SEIZED.
MUCH OWNED BY AMERICANS
Grain Taken Under Special War Act
10 Estimated at 100000 Bushels
TO Be Shipped to England,
France and Italy.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 30.-The Cana
dian government has commandeered
all high grade wheat in elevators from
Fort William on Lake Superior to the
Atlantic coast.
The action was taken under the
special war act by the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized was
of grades No. hard and Nos. /, 2 and
3 northern. It was the property oil
grain shippers and millers. Tha,
taken is all which on Saturday night
was in public elevators at Fort vii
liam, Port Arthur. Midland, Tiffin
Port McNichol, Collingwood, Goder
ich, Kingston, Port Colborne, Pres
colt, Quebec, st. John, Montreal and
Halifax
Much Owned by Americans.
Arevised estimate places the amount
at about 2o,o00,000 bushels. A con
siderable amount Is the property OF
American grain dealers.
The grain was taken so that grain
exchanges should be affected as little
as possible. 1t is officially stated that
the price will be fairly adjusted and
the grain owners promptly paid by
the Canadian government.
1t is estimated that there Is still
in Canada in the hands of farmers
and dealers west of Fort William
15o,000,o00 bushels surplus of wheat
available for export.
1t Is expected that most of this
will be taken in the future for the
use of Great Britain, France and
Italy. The domestic supply of Rus,
STA is more than sufficient to meet
the needs of that country. Had the
Dardanelles been forced the surplus
OF Russian wheat would have made
the present action unnecessary.

LITERAcY TEST PASSES
Senate Passed immigration Measure
BY Decisive Vote-only Seven
Against 1t

Washington.-The immigration bill,
containing the restrictive literacy test
for admission of aliens, passed the
senate to Z. The overwhelming ma
jority was recorded, despite indica-
lions that President Wilson would
veto the measure, as did former Pres
ident Taft, If it should come to him
with the educational test included.
The vote indicated that the bill
could be re-passed by more than the
required twothirds majority should the
president reject the measure. Senators
who voted against the bill were: Bran.
degee, McCumber, MARITIME, O'Gorman,
Ransdell, Reed and Walsh.
Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars, the
literacy test was unaltered, save for
an additional exemption to Belgian
subjects adopted after prolonged de-
bate. House leaders probably will ask
for conference on senate amend
ments, but administration leaders were
confident senate amendments would be
accepted and the bill sent to the pres.
ident by the middle of next week.

CONSTRUCTIVE
BOYHOOD.

A story is told of bunch of coun-
try school boys lear Greensburg,
kentucky, who, instead of indulging
IN foolish FRANKS which might possi-
bly, mean waste or the destruction of
property, went to work recently and
repaired bad piece of roadway near
their school house. They made good
job of it by filling 4 miring place with
loads of rock and afterwards surface
ing it.
The boys had nd personal interests
in the road, except that their dads &C.
casiOnally drove over it, owned no
land which would be benefited by the
improvement but did the work for the
sake of doing something useful and
for the honor of the school which they
attended. This is the spirit we would
like to see manifested in school boys.
Not a destructive spirit but one of
upbuilding-of doing something use
full for others.
We wish we could record an act of
that kind in Putnam County and that
the example might be followed in ev-
cry county of Florida. That kind of
boyhOod means sterling manhood. We
have lot of good boys in Putnam
County. If they all act at once in
some good thing, all we can say is go
to it.
