Graded separately and excluded from the statutory grades known no. 1 hard no. 1 Northern and no. 2 Northern. This has been determined by an act of parliament passed on june 15, and thus ends a controversy that has raged around the Canadian Grain Trade for a number of years. The Bill amending the Canada Grain act establishes statutory grades for Garnet wheat and defines two grades to be known As no. 1 and no. 2 Canadian Western Garnet. The Defini Tion of these grades is set out in the Bill As follows no. 1 . Garnet shall have a minimum weight per Bushel of 60 ibs. And shall contain 65 per cent of hard vitreous kernels. The Standard of Quality Calls for Well matured Grain practically free from damaged kernels. It must be free of foreign matter other than Cereal grains and must be practically free of durum wheat and must not include More than 5 per cent of other cheats including durum. No. 2 . Garnet will have a minimum weight of 58 ibs. To the Bushel and must contain 50 per cent hard vitreous kernels. In Quality it must be reasonably Well and reasonably free from damaged i kernels. Only about one be cent mixture of Cereal grains is permitted one per cent of durum and a total of 10 per cent of other cheats including durum my Grade to. 3 Northern. The amended act does not exclude Garnet wheat from no. 3 Northern or i the grades lower but in the past Gar j net wheat receipts have of themselves been fairly High a Grade and it is believed that the two new grades will take care of this variety in an average year. Any wheat failing to qualify for no. 1 no. 2 . Garnet can go into nos. 3 and 4 Northern or the Commer Cial grades of 5 and 6 wheat or it May be that under unusual Circum stances the Grain standards Board will set up special grades. General satisfaction Over the contemplated change in grading is expressed by the Canadian Millers and by overseas buyers who have been anxious to see Garnet wheat kept out of High Grade Manitoba. The Winni Peg Grain Exchange is prepared to help Garnet wheat establish its mar Ket value and when the new grading comes into effect it is understood provision will be made for its delivery on the Winnipeg contract at penalties to be fixed. The Date the change in grading has been deferred to season 1935 for this purpose and to enable Farmers to change Garnet seed for the of other varieties in cases where this is desired.

George Stunick of the St. Joseph District seven Milts South of Ituna was painfully injured while playing with a number of school boys at recess in the St. Joseph Rural school Yard Friday. Ter noon. The lad fell during a game and was acc dentally trampled on Fly a school mate breaking his Cottar Bone in the act. A tale of Scotland Yard 6y chapter Lii Orintee himself meanwhile had received word that sirs. _ de Souza and her maid had both left the Flat in mount Street. This was the first time since he knew of the existence that the rooms had been deserted. The maid his. Watcher phoned him had gone off in the opposite direction to Pointer hurried to the building of his household and the three it was a Flat which had been taken furnished for six months and As he had Learned there had been no work men in it since she took it. In other words he did not think it Likely that there was any secret hiding Hole fit Ted into the Wall or floor or Selling. A question to the owners put apparently by a dealer trying to please a collector had negatived the idea that he possessed any article of furniture or old picture Frame with a secret drawer or concealed space in it All this might not have been True of the House in Palace Green and Pointer determined to do his Best to avoid having to search it too. He had Al ready sent a window cleaner and a Gas inspector to look Over the Flat but each had found the maid beside them All the time of round. It was a Stormy Day threatening to grow worse. As he pulled up he saw lights in the Flat above mrs. De Souza s belonging As he knew to a Young actor manager. Asking for him he and his companion were Al Lowed to pass up. A luncheon party was on. Pointer decided he could Chance it. So he and inspector Watts walked up the stairs and stopped at the floor below. A twist with his master key and they stepped into the Flat and shut the door behind them. He had a search warrant but he did not want to use it. The two men worked swiftly and carefully after an hour and a half they looked at one another. They had found nothing. It was possible that mrs. Do Souza supposing her to be the supplier of the Poison As Pointer did might have kept her Supply in some other place but he expected it to be within easy reach. The Flat was not abandoned. Nor was it difficult to search. Some thing about the paucity of personal belongings suggested that mistress and maid were More or less prepared to leave quickly. He knew from the expert that the Poison would probably be in powder form Putty coloured pow Der with a faint smell As of horse around whom the Yard s suspicions gathered. As Long therefore As Gil Lian was with any of the Taylors she should be Safe and Pointer wanted to save her if that was possible. But. He did not like the emptiness of mrs., de Souza s Flat. He could now ask of. A warrant against her and lady Ida and strange and he intended to do so at once. They would not wait., Long he feared that Clever Trio. Though another death would not 10, coming directly after Tait s death by Poison he believed that had thai passed As heart failure As they had expected Gillian Dundas would not be alive now.

De Souza was in that too for Gillian Dundas was really too St pid to have found out by herself what men to blackmail and How to set about doing it even Gillian must know that they could not use that weapon without there selves being Cut in using it. She had complicated matters from their Point of View by going to the same House As their victim Tait. That was Clever of her so Clever that it struck an Odd note. Every hour she was Lii lady Tait s House must be an hour of terror for the three but though he did not think she. Would be killed in the House he was afraid that by some meats she would decoded away. Or adj mapped in order to take her to some place where she would he would have liked to arrest her but he had nothing on which to get a warrant. He decided to try again for a talk with her. Though he could not Promise her immunity from punishment for blackmail the punishment she so richly Pointer was certain in his own mind that because of her lord Mills had shot he could assure her that the police would do their Best to see that the fact that she had helped radish he did not waste time going them to bring the prisoners of Jofin Tait to punishment would be Tasen into account. There must be Good in the girl. He would get the War rant execute it As soon As mrs. De Souza was within reach and then try for a word with Gillian. A message came for him on the Telephone while he was at the lard getting the warrant. It was of first rate importance. Pointer had Hail air errand boys questioned who were known to have delivered parcels a the Street around the hour when Tait had collapsed. Working through their own clubs and the shops be had succeeded in rounding up a cute a number and two of these had doubt edly seen Tait. One had to. Alced a big dark Man. Overtake him Stop him and Light his cigarette to Over the furniture a second time. If he and Watts could not find it the first time they would not the Hundredth. He stood head Bent eyes on his shoes deep in reverie while Watts stood by the door listening for footsteps. Pointer was swiftly run Ning Over the objects in the rooms be fore his mind s Eye again. Suddenly he took a step Forward. He remembered a smart Scarlet in stand in the dining room with pen holders of Jade and Blue. The Ink was red so were the nibs. The sort of thing that is for decoration not for use. Did you look in the he asked Watts. Yes. Pull to the brim was the reply. Pointer went to it inserted a Pencil and Felt the smooth Glass sides and Bottom. It was shallower than one would have expected. He lifted e it out. It too was of opaque Scarlet Glass and fitted exactly into the Silver Holder. The Bottom must be unusually thick.
