CANADIAN TRADE STEADY.
sight Decline I'm Business With
Foreign Countries.

OTTAWA, oct. 27.-Canada' trade with
foreign countries shows a slight decline
as compared with the war year record
of 1918, according to figures just is-
sued by the Department of Customs
For the six months ended September
the total foreign trade amounted to ST.
O54,655,00O. as compared with $l,0S7,-
$4,000 for the same period in 1918.
The decrease is entirely IN imports, AS
exports show almost identical figures
for the two periods-namely, $780,, 900.
900. Imports in the six month period
OF 1918 reached S4S4,53l, 900, but In 1919
fell to $45l, l,76S,00O.
1t will be noted that Canada has a
favorable trade balance amounting 10
1851. 600. 900 for the six months ended
September 80 of this year. The Ca
ma dian authorities are making strenuous
efforts 10 maintain this desirable condi-
tion.

OTTAWA, Oct. 27.-The Grand Trunk
Railway purchase agreement which last
week successfully passed the House
of Commons is now before tee Senate.
More conservative than the Commons
and with a larger representation of
what is commonly known as the "ln-
terests," the Senate is subjecting the
legislation to the closest scrutiny and
sharp opposition.
"A number of Government supporters.
opponents of public ownership, are
threatening to kick over the party traces.
and If the measure carries 1t will be
by but narrow majority. With the
Grand Trunk measure disposed OF Par
lament will prorogue and not meet
again until some time in March. Mean
while the Government will make a des-
perate effort to mend its political fences
and to devise measures likely to insure
a more permanent basis for the exist
ing somewhat fortuitous unity of It's
parliamentary forces.
The opposition, on the other hand, will
wage a campaign init country against
the Government. A strong effort will
be made to achieve some kind of a
working arrangement with the farmers
whose power is becoming a matter for
alarm to both parties, but it is not
likely to be successful.
Sir Robert Borden, whose health is
said to be improving, will likely once
more attempt cabinet reorganization
with greater Quebec representation. The
French Canadian province will hs--ap-
pealed to TO stand with the more con-
servative elements of English speaking
Carada against the wave Of radicalisn,
and near socialism rolling over the Wes,
and some portions of the East. A
Gouin-White alliance, involving the re-
tirement of Sir Robert Borden and the
accession to power Of Sir Thomas White
with Sir Lomer Gouin of Quebec, as his
right hand man, is talked of. although
somewhat vaguely.
Meanwhile a number of other impor-
tant Government posts remain to be
filled. A Canadian Commissioner to
Washirgto an added step on the path
of constitutional progress. has to be
appointed; n SUCCESSOR found for Sir
George Perley, who Is retiring from
the Dominion High Commissionership
in London, and another for Mr.. Phil
lip Roy, who is said TO be anxious to
reliEquish a similar Canadian post in
Paris. Mr. Lloyd Harris, who headed
during the war is spoken of for the
London post. and there are those who
say that Sir Lomer Gouin will retire
from politics altogether and take the
commissionership at Paris.

TEACHERS THREATEN STRIKE.

Special Correspondence 10 the Canadian
Section Of THE Sun.

Section Of THE SUN
TORONTO, Oct. 97.-School teachers
down in Prince Edward Island. Can
ada's smallest province. are talking OF
going on strike. And there seems to be
little wonder. Like their fellow work
ers in that profession, practically all
over the world, they are scandalously
underpald. especially in the rural dis
tricts. Last year they formed a union
and now there is a threat of strike,
which ought to awaken the powers of
that picturesque region, which until a
year or so ago was so Arcadian as to
completely bar automobiles.
While city teachers in the Island re-
ceiye salaries averaging s625 to $1,000
per year, the average salary for male
teachers in the rural districts ranges
from $3.50 10 $40, and for females from
1924 to 1876. The position of the Gov
ernment Is difficult, owing to the small
revenues received, as might be ex-
pected from total population of $4,000
for the Province. But education is a
highly priced asset lin the Maritime
provinces of Canada. and not all the
children of the green Island OF the Gulf

HIGH MARK SEEN
FOR WOOL CLIP
Dominion Estimates Point to
Record of Decade.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct 27.-While the
estimate is not yet complete for the wool
clip of Canada for 1919, ii is officially
stated that IL promises to reach the high
mark for decade in the Dominion. The
1918 output was approximately l2,0OO,-
600 pounds. The price of wool this year
is from forty to seventy cents per pound
In eastern markets for grades ranging to
fine medium combing.
Previous to the war there was a wool
shortage evident The war has ac-
centuated the shortage. During the
period of hostilities 1t is estimated that
6O,0OO,O0O sheep We're slaughtered in
Europe. reducing the possibilities of the
worlds output 400. 600, 600 pounds an
nually.
The price of wool in Canada In 1918
was from II to 20 cents. With war prices
of wool, there are many more farmers
to-day in the Dominion raising sheep.
The Dominion Government has embarked
upon campaign to encourage sheep
breeding. By an arrangement with CO.
operative wool growing and sheep breed
ers' associations throughout Canada. the
Dominion Department of Agriculture is
supplying wool graders for the purpose
of grading clips Scientific grading and
cooperative marketing have greatly in
creased the farmers profits.
According to census figures, the sheep
population of Canada in 1918 was 3.O52,-
14S. This small number shows the de-
pressing effects of adverse conditions OF
| former years on the sheep business
| With millions of acres awaiting settle
ment, Canada, according to experts, has
room for many more million sheep.
Surprising to relate, only 64S.429 sheep
are In the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, Alberta and British Column
bia, where range is extensive. The re-
mainder OF Canada's sheep are owned by
the small farmers of the eastern and
maritime provinces. Ontario is first with
! 972,34l, and Quebec next with 959.O7O.

GRAVES To Be
PHOTOGRA APHED

Plans have been perfected by the
American Red Cross whereby pho
tographs of the identified graves of
American soldiers in France will
be sent to the relatives of heroes in
this country. Several hundred Of
such photographs have already been
forwarded to the families of men
who died in service overseas and
an announcement from the Ameri-
can Red Cross Headquarters today
says that the work of obtaining pho
tographs has been speeded up to the
point where production from now
on is expected to reach about seven
thousand every month. The photo
graph will be sent to the dead sold
ers next of kin.
The American Red Cross has
taken over the task of photograph
ing the graves at the request of the
war department and is acting under
the authority of Lieut.. Col. c. C
Pierce of the graves registration
service. The Headquarters of this
service is III Tours, France.
Each photograph will be mounted
in cardboard folding frame one
side OF which contains d. a concer-
ming the dead soldier. While all re-
quests for such photographs should
be forwarded to the bureau of COM
munications of the American Red
Cross and not to the graves regis
tration service of the army, such
requests are not really necessary
and will not hurry the receipt of
the photograph. Neither will special
requests receive any special con-

JACKSON LEADS ALL
COUNTIES in STATE

Raleigh, N. c.. Feb.-Jackson
county was the first in the State to
go over the top in the Armenian
Syrian Relief Campaign. Mr.. A. C.
reynolds, County Chairman, was ap-
pointed by DR.. Joyner, and three
days after his appointment he call
ed at State headquarters to tell Dr..
Joyner that his county had not only
raised its quota, but had gone far
over the top.
Mr.. Reynolds said he had no diff
flculty in securing the cash and that
all he had to do was to show the
people the telegram from Dr.. Joyner
appointing him chairman. In that
telegram DR.. Joyn r had stressed
the needs of the suffering people of
Armenia and Syria. and that plea
was all that was necessary to arouse
the sympathy and open the hearts
Of the people of Jackson county.
Chairman Reynolds said he did not
think it necessary to wait for tie
drive, which is set for Feb, 81 to 28,
but went right out after the money
as soon as he was put in command
in his county, and he turned the
trick.
DR.. JOyner predicts that this
relief fund will come equally as re-
adily in other parts of the State as
it was raised in Jackson county.

Community ORGANIZATIONS
TO BE PUSHED

Ralei h, N. c., Feb. 25-Realizing
that if the cooperative home and
farm demonstration work Of the
Agricultural Extension Service is to
be the success expected of it, tie
field workers have come to the con-
c!usion that it is absolute y essential
that the organization OF communi-
ties be encouraged during the year
1919.
At the present time there are
many community clubs which are
being successfully operated in the
State, but, as whole, the entire
community is not fully organized
for all phases of agriculture ad-
van cement.
Speaking before the agents last
week, DR.. Bradford Knapp pointed
out the Importance of such an or
ganization. showing the agents that
it was their duty to serve the great
est number of people, instead Of
doing much individual work. This
can be done only by efficient organ
ization. Individual worK succeeds
for short while, and is not to be
discredited, but the biggest problem
lies in the reaching of all the people
and this can only be done by thor
ough organization.
1t developed at the conference
that community organization could
be affected for combating diseases
for raising one variety OF corn, fol
producing one breed of registered
l hogs, to control plant diseases, t
stabilize labor, and many other prob
= lens which to obtain effective result
should be met by a thorough team
v work on a community basis.
After the communities have beel
{ organized, it is then an easy matter
. or much simpler matter, to organ
IL Il ize the county. Many of the agent
