FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1914. in... About Efficiency. From Canadian Farm. Mr. J. W. Flavelle, in an address in Toronto, the other day, placed a large share of the onus of the high cost of living upon the farmer. One of his statements was to the effect that the middleman is the, only one of the three concerned whohas put the qual- ity called efficiency into the conduct of his business. The farmer lacks ef- ficiency in managing his farm. Like- wise the consumer lacks etficidncy in buying the food he requiresdand in making the most out of it. As to the consumer, we are not much concerned. But the statement that the middleman is the all-efficient one of the three, and is therefore no way responsible for the high cost of living, cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. Possibly Mr. Fla- velle refers only to the business with which. he is connected, and which, from the notable success it has had in piling up dividends for the stock hold- ers, has been efficiently managed. But this will not apply» to the business of every middleman. Further, we ven- ture the statement that there is just as much efficiency in the management of the average farm as there is in the management of the average middle- man’s business, everything considered. There is this difference, however. The middlemam has much greater success financially frOm his efforts, whether ‘ they be eflicient or not, than the far. mer has. The middleman controls the price he pays for the farmer’s produce. He also controls the price which the consumer pays. There is a vast differ- ence between this situation and that which the farmer has to work under. If the farmer could in any way con- trol the price for which his products sell, he would be in a vastly better po- sition. We know of "more than one case in which middlemen in their de- sire-to‘ control things in the produce line would have suffered disaster, were not general conditions so favorable for . mm ~'.x=;,-‘/iA.-nw\‘ new». pied by awn-r; Juti‘ilW-L" .213 15.2. the Pi‘esident,\llli's.

An article by Mrs. Nellie McClung, entitled “Why Wom- en should Vote,” was read by Mrs. R. Stewart. A reading, “ Her Pet Enou- omy,” Was given by -Miss M. Patten.

Dissolve the gum tragacanth first and place it on a stove, adding boiling water until it is clear like starch. Then add the other ingredients and water enough to make a quart.

A few days ago Game Warden John Jones caught three men spearing and netting fish at the mouth of the Kirk- field canal in Balsam Lake. They were given the option of paying a fine there and then or standing trial. {They paid the fine. Mr. Jones has apprehended a total of ten offenders during the year â€"â€"-one' for killing deer, one for having fur in his possesrion out of season, and eight for illegal fishing. The fines amounted to $90. 0-. Delayed by Storm.

SupthlcCIellan of TN. C. Not Worrying About Charges. ._.â€"â€"... A Peter-borough despatch dated F-eb- ruary 28th says: The news of the suspension of the local Trent Canal Officials has created quite a stir in the city, although this action was not unexpected. The fact that G. H. Ferguson, K. C., M. L. A., had conducted an extensive investiga- tion into the affairs of the bead offices, was generally known. The local offi- cials have not received official notice from Ottawa and they have very lit- tle to say. Superintendent J. Harris l McClellan, who has held the position I for seven years, said this morning that ‘he would leave the position a poorer ' man than when; he went in. “ It need not have been so,” added Mr. McClel- lan. When. shown the despatch stating that he had admitted that certain ca- nal funds had been diverted for al- leged campaign purposes, he would not {say yes or no, his statement being that he. could afibrd to. let it go without answer. He was not worrying, he- said. George H. Giroux, the clerk of works, has been with the depart- ment for thirty-three years. He was a. loss to. understand why action should be taken. again-st him.
