THE CONTEST FOR MAY QUEEN

_ The contest for Muay Queen is over and splendid interest was shown
rigat to the last minute.

The result was uncertain right to the close ot
the voting when it was found Phyllis McKillican was elected by a niajority
of seven votes over Mabel Crooks. <A very pleasing feature of the result
was the fine sportsmanship shown by Mabel

Crooks who immediately on
hearing the result announced, shook hands with the winner and congratu-
lated her

on her victory. Phyllis McKillican will make a lovely Quecn
but had it been any other of the contestants elected, either would have

been worthy of the honor.

BRITAIN AGAIN WORLD LEADER

It is gratifying to note the Old Country has regained her position in
the commercial world. This has been done by sacrifices of all ranks, and
a continuance of the grit shown in the world war. Those that speak ot
the decadence of Great Britain are mainly those who wish to see that come

about. The following editorial from The Financial Post is reassuring:

“Julius H. Barnes. the chairman of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, Washington, who for many years has been deeply interested
in export trade t6 Europe, has just come home. He was at the internationa |
miceling of world’s business men in italy and afterwards he spent scime
tine making further investigations of present conditions and particularly
of the outiook. The one strong conclusion he brings back and emphasizes
in: his: interviews with- the. -press, is ; -the wonderful recovery Great Britain
ve chas made, and the great future for ‘British trade..

The newspapers reported
‘I do not know what is going to become of Great
I don’t want to be pessimistic—...,.... 1 really don't know
what is going to happen. 1 have misgivings as to her future.’

“At the time The Financial Post exposed this by showing that in
‘using these words, speakers were merely repeating what was being sent
ali over the world by German wireless, and specifically exposed by the
London Times, It has since developed that certain anti-British oi] interests
found these stories very useful in serving their ends.

“The corporation holding the concession would also have a great deal

in the disiriet, and with the Canadian financial interest in it there would
be a good chance of Cunada geting a share of the bualnans, This would
