CANADA'S ANSWER UNANIMOUS.

Canadian Conservative Party Leader Bennett, who had said that he did not favor Imperial pre- ferential tariff schedules has since declared that Canadas to the United States tariff now pending will be the promotion of trade within the Empire, and the establishment of the British Empire as the greatest economic unit the world has ever known
 Bennett declared that within six months of his being elected to power in Canada he would summon Empire economic conference.
 Toronto paper recently said that the present Liberal Government in Canada would meet the proposed American tariff with trade arrangement for preferential tariffs with Great Britain and the British Dominons. Therefore, the Canadian parties seem to be agreed the main issue.

GAMBLER CANNON.

Bishop Cannon, one of the most prominent Pro- hbition leaders lost $2,500 gambling with New York bucket shop There time when he could have cashed in for $1250O or more, but he let the bets ride and the dealer finally raked them all in,
 The political divine does not deny that he placed $25OO with the New York bucket shop that closed by the courts for unlawful gambling, but says he thought he was buying stocks on the nstalment plan. He admits that he optioned stocks to the value of $15825492. When one takes into account that the total of the nstaments he paid only $25O0 less than per cent. of the amount of stock he had covered, making each instament probably much less than per cent, it is difficult to accept his explanation. It seems that the Wall Street Journal completely justified in saying that If this sort of thing is buying stock for in vestment on the installment plan then drawing card to an inside straight is conservative invest ment7
 The fact is that Bishop Cannon was violating the New York gambling laws just as clearly as any bootlegger ever violated the Volstead Act, and he probably knew it.
 The Wall Street Journal very reasonably sug- gests that there is nothing morally wrong in mak- ing bet The best people" often bet cleo tions, horse races, baseball games the markets and many other things. It frequently is pastme of church members and even preachers. Nor is there anything morally wrong about taking drink The "best people, often do it. It is frequently tion of church members and preachers. In most parts of the country, however, it is against the law to gamble or to possess liquor Bishop Can- has been very vehement in his denunciation of those who violate the law against the possession of liquor, but he, himself, violates the anti gambling laws. If vioators of Prohibition laws are nullifiers, Bishop Cannon calls them what are violators of anti-gambling laws?

STRAWBERRY BREEDERS LOOK TO WILD ONES FOR NEW BLOOD"

All the strawberries in the United States and most of those of the world-that is, the tame ones are descendants of two wild American strawber- res, one native of the Pacific Coast and the other a native of the Eastern United States
 There many other wild strawberries, how ever, that did not take part in developing valuable trait that be bred into do- desirable than they now are At any rate, plant breeders are turning to the wild sorts for improv- ing the strawberry, especially to develop types better adapted to such specific purposes canning preserving, and candy making.
 George M. Darrow, who is in charge of straw berry breeding work for the United States Depart ment of Agriculture has already achieved some suc cess in this field. From the thousands of crosses made he has selected four promising varieties es- pccially suited for preserving. They known only by number as yet, and will need to be tested for adaptation before they be recommended for planting The breeding of preserving sorts is only begun, he says and every region will need it's own particular variety.
 The technique of breeding is relatively simple, Mir Darrow explains but the important and difficult part is in making the selections. To breed a new kind no matter for what purpose. two parent va rieties are crossed They may be wild tame. The pollen from the flower of is placed the ing from such cross planted and every resultant seeding to fruiting before selections are made If there acres of seedlings in fruting there may be 5000 kinds, each different from the others From this enormous number certain prom
