ceive the cost OF production for

Notwithstanding the low price o

for certified seed potatoes for next

ability OF securing their supply OF
seed 81 the fall rather than 20 wait

London, Feb. 11.-The drink uues-
ton was briefly discussed in botn
house of parliament yesterday. Earl
cdrzon told the lords that the bill ON
this subject to be introduced would
contain provisions for shorter hours of
sale. The experiment Of state manage
ment certainly would not be dropped.
he said,
In the house of commons the sub
Seot was alluded to by Sir Donald Mae
Lean.
The fact that America has gone dry
is an economic fact of the gravest i'm
portance to Great Britain" he said.
He declared the British expenditure
for drink absolutely staggered him.
The country spent more than 1854, ,00O,-
600 pounds for drink in 1914, he said.
