useless Ross rifles Yes indeed in that matter of the Ross rifles he was a silent sonof a gun Borden has continued silent while food prices rocketed shyhigh and although his gov ernment al the beginning of the war took to itself by common consent the most arbitrary pow ers to prevent extortion by the food usurers it has not lifted a linger to help and curb its friends Production has not fallen off during- the war As a matter of fact the North West last year had the largest crop in its history The other fruits of the soil were quite as bountiful and there were fewer people by three hundred and fifty thousand to eat them There was every reason why prices should go down and no reason at all why they should go up except that the gov ernment interfered with nobody using the war as an excuse for pillage For example butter is forty- two cents a pound in Toronto Eggs at the height of the lay ing season cents a dozen The producer did not get these prices but the mid dleman did The middleman is favored by the Borden Govern ments high tariff Everything he people cat or vyear lias been increased in price and decreased in quality All the traffic will bear and then add fifty per

both New arid Ontario the subject of good roads represents an everr growing theme of popular dis- Rural communities in the older portions of nee are- agitating for better rpads not only for the main high ways but for the concession roads and side which give the farmer access to the high ways In New Ontario more roads and still more roads is the cry and money will have to be provided for this purpose but the urgent need in older Ontario is the im provement of existing roads The oid complaint that roads are kept in repair or provided as the case may be merely to suil the caprices of motor fiends is losing weight because the farm er has gradually come to consider an automobile part of his farm equipment and now looks upon the roads question in a Macadam roads are said to unsuitable to the new conditions of motor transportation on the main highway If this be the case it is a matter for the pro vincial government to take in hand at once with a view to find ing a solution of this difficulty Concrete roads are favored by many experts They are more expensive than macadam but it is believed the initial expense more than adjusts itself in longer period of wear In connection with
