The grading of hogs which started Monday under the new law will be watched with keen interest by hog raisers in this county, many of whom are making an effort to pro- duce the W'iltshire type of bacon (le- manded by the export trade. The select type will bring a greatly in- creased return. And, gradually, it is expected, the inferior type will be so eliminated through improved breeding and handling that the per- centage disqualified as export bacon type will not be of suioient pro- portion to offset in marked extent the gain of the select. type. VVith the machinery for grading in operation, and a knowledge of requirements and how to meet them already gatin- ed, the Ontario bacon producer should become a successful rival of Denmark in the English bacon mar- ket at no distant date. -....p\/.-- L`, V..-.-. ..---.- One of the greatest tributes that might be otfered to a farmer's work and worth, has been offered by friends of the late Jos. Caldwell, who died at Crown Hill last week. It was said of Caldwell that he was always ahead of his work. How many farmers, or men in other ac- tivities for that matter, can truth- fully make such a beast ?. To be ahead of one s work means nothing more than to have the task well in hand with the l1our or season. When all trains are I`llI1l lin,`.{ on tiime. a railroad division may he said to be ahead of its twork. How often have we heard mother say, ``I haven t been able to catch `up with my work all day. But it wasn't her fault. And the average mother is one of the world's great and t`ruitt`ul workers. The man who lets one task slide is apt to eventually let the whole job slide. The way to keep ahead of one's work is to weary not of /well doing.

In this regard, .we re- spectfully point out to those coin- plaining that a possibly incorrect in- terpretation has been made by them. The total tbwilding -assessments for tl1e year are $32.17210, an increase of $82,390 over 1921. Fully 90 per cent. of this $82,390 increase represents new Ibuildings. The land assessment increase is $12,885, mak- ing the actual increase $95,275. :But the income assessment fell off $76,190. `This gured in, makes the total increase only $29,490. But it has no effect on the building assess- ment in reality. The marked differ- ences, the `Town Clerk pointed out to the Council, was the increase of $82,390 in 'building assessments -and the decrease of $76,190 in income assessment. Reference to the assess- ment. report pwblished in the North- ern Advance Oct. 5 will show the distinctions. .nu.;y.u-.1 AAAIQI -...u \_/ . . . . . . \ . -- The glory of autumn reminds one of what is gone and of what is just round the corner. The charm of summer is surpassed by the halcyon (lays of saffron and of gold. The sun seems hrigliter, the nights are sharper, even as the wit brightens with the appetite. Yet, here and there we hear someone recall, The melancholy days are come, the sad- dest of the year. \Vhy should thiis be. Is that not. a `mere expression of temperament? The harvest worked for and yearned for has been bountiful. Why the sadness ? \Ve recall another season on life's jour- ney with a sigh ! .~\t t.he end of `that journey we anticipate a change for the better. \Vhy the sigh ? The other day an old man who had en- tered our office said: I'm living on borrowed time. I'll be glad when the change comes. Is it change then that is our great all-controlling desire. Is it the anticipatiion of change, its -fears and hopes, that is the a1l-control1ing influence in our lives ? Indeed, sis it. not a fact that change and the desire for change `do constitute the entity of daily life. Then, is it not the nature of our de- sires that determine the change in seasons in our daily existence. Is it not a change of the KIND OF DE- SIRE within us that is mostly need- ed in this daily Journey along '? SO. E HOTEL GRIE \'.-\I\'CES Thzut hotel accon1u1`odat.ion in On- tario is in need of improvement. must he accepted as a -postulate if the Government is to be regarded as sincere in its investigation of hotel conditionts. Hotels, primarily, are busness propositions. The compl-aint is that the .business has ceased to be profitable. A.ccordti.ng to the lovernment's own assumption, hotel convenience and accommodation in Ontario is below the stadard of pre- war days. One `instance of the situation in Barnie will give a hint of what. hotels in general have to contend twith, and without possibiltity of reparwtion. A woman 2tCC(`plill1K the free convenience at one hotel here allowed the water to run, which, imohservetl t'or some time, caus`.ed nearly $100 dama,1.:e. The woman was not a guest; she was merely takim; a(iv'anta_t:e of a com- mon convenience that many olihers do daily. This person was one of a class who are violently opposed to the sale of timer and wine, but site was not opposed to actceptninig accom- modation at the hotel so long as it was free; nor did she take heed to the (la'ma,i:e she committoed. An- other hotel proprietor in `Barrie oi`- t'erud evidence before the Count oi Revision the other day that lttii-`. water bill alone for three months was $40, a largqe percentazze ot .which was used thy persont:-1 who never spend a `cent at. the hotel. To keep `Ult!H(` conveniences looked would en- tail the assxignnient oi` a man. e.\'- pressly for h:1n\dim.: keys to le;.:ltIi- mate iztiesats only. And even this would bring down upon the hotel a st.ii:matiza:t.ion. for a.llei.:ed mean- ness. Hotel men do not ask for Government `Sli'l)Si(l"l'Bl'-I. They `want fair play. A icon~tii.nuanee out` exist.- ini: comiitlon-s means that. eventu-aIl_v endeavors to -conduct ilrst class hotel acconunodation in many places rw.ll-l he wban-doned entlirelty, which will be but another phase of a forced backrwtard Lemlenlcy ot` Iolvillzation and for rwhich a narrow vision is responsible. The Ontario Government. has dc. clded to extend its scal your 'l ro'm Oct. 31 to Nov. 15. \VH;\'l` ;\SSESS.\]ENT MEANS .-\UTL'.\lN OMEN folks are par- W ticularly anoyed at the prospect of having to wear glasses for life once they are tted with them. This does not prove to `be the case at such times where the cause or the eye defects are remedied at once. Often it is the case that the lenses prescritbed will so correct the imrperfect focus- ing-accommodation of the eye that the muscles {become stronger and allow the `wearer to discard glasses enrtirely.

Monday, November 6, has been set apart by the Federal Govern- ment as :1 day of national Thanks- giving.

In these fret- ful and tmllt-lining clays it seems to us there must be hosts of people who never -break out into 21 tit 01' gener- ous gratitude zuid thanlisgivlng froin one year's end to the other. And it is quite inipossihle to live healthy, wholesome, hopeful lives in thutt way. In It very wonderful way, we `believe, gratitude is a tonic and stimulant :t'or living. Only the man with the than`k:t'ul. appreciative heart is able to get out of life anything like the goodness and satisfaction that it has in it. The recurrence of dry seasons in some parts of southern Ahbenta and Saskatchewztn has proved so (lis- astrous to the settlers that the Do- minion Government has decided to deal with the matter, and will now grant homesteads to those settlers in sections which are not subject `to drought, and will transport the set- tlers with all their household goods, implements, and live stock free of charge to the new location. The Provincial Governments concerned are co-operating with the Dominion authorities and the -matter will be attended to as expeditiously as pos- sible. The move seems to be a wise one and no doubt the settlers con- cerned will avail themselves of the Government's offer. The ditculty seems to be that while there may be a mz1:.z.nicent -crop one year in these dry `belts, -this crop is apt to be fol- lowed by four or live utter failures, when even grazing is a `failure. For- tunately these dry areas are not very numerous or extensive, shut the set- tlers in them have been almost at starvatioli point more than once and a change would seem to :be well ad- vised.
