1 The Papers Say EDITORIAL COMMENT FROM HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE. CANADA ART OF PLOWING flowing is one of the most pleasant, pleasant, as well as the most important, parts of farming. Provided one has a good team, and the land is free '•om stone, it is not an arduous task, iforing in this respect from some "other types of farm work. It is important important because good plowing is the basis of good farming. Usually a good plowman is a good farmer, whihr-a bad one is a poor farmer who soon finds his land overrun with weeds. It requires some skill to be adept at the practice. The best plowmen plowmen have a natural aptitude for it, and one lacking this can never become become perfect. The good farmer knows the proper depth at which to plow his soil, as well as to how to keep a straight furrow. No matter how good a plowman is, however, he is not going to be much of a success unless he has a well- trained, experienced team. After all, it is the team that does the most of. the work, and it is. not difficult to keep a straight furrow if possessed of horses that know how to walk straight and pay attention to directions. directions. The horses must also have the proper gait. Anyone who has been kicked on the ribs by a plough handle when the implement is being pulled by a headstrong team knows just what this means.--Windsor Star. ANTI-TANK GUNS sooner have experts invented and more deadly war weapon 'than another set of experts develop a weapon to combat it. The tank is no longer a safety-first fort on a battlefield. battlefield. Woolwich arsenal gun experts experts 'have perfected an anti-tank gun. They claim infantry armed with the anti-tank rifle will be able to stand up to tanks and beat them. A two-pound shell, fitted with a special armored-piercing nozzle, is fired by the anti-tank gun. This shell can penetrate the armorplates of any tank and explode inside. One direct hit from an anti-tank gun ..m ins death to the whole tank crew afkr ' the destruction of the entire mechanism. The gun travels on a small rubber tired truck and is so light that it can taken up into the front truck, \ anted on a tripod, and brought in to action in less than 30 seconds. It fires with terrific rapidity and can blow up a tank a mile away. The anti-tank rifle is made for use against whippet tanks, and fires special armor-piercing bullets which can bring a tank to a standstill at a range of 500 yards.--Brandon Sun. STORY TELLER EARNS PRIZE Hand the prize to that Algoma pike that first sank its teeth into one oar, dived under the boat, struck the other oar, and used it as a gangplank for boarding the fishermen's craft.-- Stratford Beacon-Herald. We would hand the prize to the fellow who first told the story. -- Chatham News. SENTENCE SUSPENDED "The magistrate suspended sentence." sentence." Quite often we read something something to that effect in accounts of trials ; and a good many, reading, dismiss the matter from their minds with the remark : "Well, that's disposed disposed of!" or "That chap got off easy!" They think, evidently, just "suspended sentence" sees the last of the case. Often, too, it seems that those who have been released on a suspended sentence have the same idea. That is entirely a mistake. A suspended suspended sentence is just what the name implies--a sentence that is suspended, suspended, that hangs over the offender. So long as he behaves himself, nothing nothing further is done about it; but if he offends again during the term for which sentence has been suspended the first offence can be cited against him in case of conviction and the penalty be imposed in addition to that for the second offence. Suspended sentence does not mean that the judge or magistrate has placed the offender in the position of one who has not broken the law. If he does not take his lesson to heart and breaks the law a second time the magistrate may remind him that he has broken faith. "Authority," the magistrate may say, "has given you a chance to go straight. Only one thing can be done with a person who will not behave; it is high time for you to learn that the way of the transgressor is hard. Society will stand for only so much." Suspended sentence, then, is not a clearance; nor is it a sign of weakness weakness on the part of the authorities. It is a manifestation of the desire of the law to give one who has slipped a chance to get back on the straight road--a favor which too often is not appreciated.--Timmins Daily Press.

THE EMPIRE TO CHANGE OUR CLIMATE Scientists have put forward a new theory. They say that if the icecaps icecaps which cover each Pole, North and South, could once be removed, they would never reform. Once they went the whole climate of the earth would be altered, The hard climate of Britain would change to the soft warmth of the semi-tropics. Scientists say that with modern explosives the feat is not impossible and certainly it would be better for mankind to use explosives in this way than to blow each other to death with them.-- Sunday Express.

GIVES WIVES SOME TIPS HOLLYWOOD.--From the vantage point of a year's marital happiness, Myrna Loy advised her sisters in wedlock to keep their chins up and their hair waved.

"Luckily, women are finding out that the battle has just begun when the altar is reached. If they all learned to put as, much effort into making marriage a success, as they would into into business--then Reno could be given back to the Indians." NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS ». By Peter Bandai Those ■who will be remembered longest are often the least known. Canada's history studded with names far better known than that of Sir Charles Saunders but it is doubtful if any other man lias had a greater influence influence upon its development, Macdonald Macdonald created Confederation but it was Saunders' discovery, marquis wheat and its later improvement in garnet wheat that provided the means of existence for a very young nation. Railroads had been built from east to west across limitless expanses of almost almost laste land. The country was under under a heavy burden of debt. The Saunders discovery turned the vast prairie wastes of the west into a treasure treasure house which was to lift Canada from the position of a relatively unimportant unimportant appendage of Great Britain into one of the five great trading nations nations of the world. As wheat poured out, gold poured in and found its way from the farmer's pocket into every form of Canadian economic development. development. The West of Today As the creator of the treasure house passes beyond, it is interesting to examine examine the future of these same broad lands. The one crop West is passing through a dark, period in its history. Thousands of acres are being scoured clean of top soil. Rain has failed and the 1937 wheat crop is a failure in a line of failures.

It Will Come Back In line with the experiences of the dust bowl states to the south, there are many who belive that this great area stretching across southern Albera and Saskatchewan should be abandoned. Aided by the Federal Government, many families have already been transplanted from the most affected areas but the possibilities of moving an entire population are too enormous to be seriously contemplated even if those involved were agreed that the move was in their own best interests. That is the strange quality of the Western character. In spite of continued continued crop failures and hard luck, these people still believe that the West will come back. Irrigation A few years ago, a well known eastern financier and engineer came to their support. According to R. O. Sweezey of Montreal, the West needs irrigation on a huge scale. True, the expense would be enormous but so will be the expense involved in any other solution. The great difference is that irrigation will be an investment investment capable of bringing in a great return. Whether irrigation is the key to the riddle or some other solution is required does not matted. The wealth of Canada, not only for the West and the farmer but for the East and industry depends on saving the Western wheat field. Guess we better hoof it along, gang. Thanks a lot for your letters.
