The genial mayor of Englehart is even creâ€" dited with telling a Rotary Club meetâ€" ing in Florida that he "would not trade 50 acres in Northern Ontario for the whole state of Florida." Only those who know the happy mayor of Engleâ€" hart will believe that he could get away with anything like that, but apparently he made them like it, for he is actually said to have drawn rounds of applause for the statement. The Northern News says that on his trip to the South, Mayor Weeks used unique cards. On ‘the front of the card was his name, occupation, etc., and on the reverse side of the card appeared the followâ€" ing : â€" Englehart Mayor Uses Unique Calling Card "I remember seventeen years ago when the District of Temiskaming was nearly all bush, a féew shacks here and there. People travelled the trail with a pack on their back or paddled their canoe. There were no beggars or drummers to worry us. You wore what you could get, traded your pulpwood or farm produce for grub and necessities.

Zavitz of the Land and Porests Department, and head of the Porestry lsection, was the principal speaker at the opening session last week of the annual convention of the Chief Fire Rangers of Ontario held at North Bay. Mr. Zavitz carried greetings from the Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests and expressed his regret that Mr. Finlayson, because of pressure of other duties could not be present. MILLION AND QUARTER EAGH YEAR TO GUARD FORESTS Interesting Information and Discussion at Opening Session of Convention of Fire Rangers of Ontario Speaking on forest fire prevention, Mr. Zavitz said that the Ontario Govâ€" ernment was spending on an average of one cent per acre for this protection, or in the neighbourhood of one million and a quarter dollars annually. Another problem that is engaging the attention of the department, Mr. Zavitz continâ€" ued, is that of the preservation of trees from pests. This feature of the serâ€" vice will, in all probability be placed unâ€" der the direction of the district chief rangers. The cost of this would be more than repaid by the additional revenue obtained from the forests he contended. Forty per cent of the land not patrolled by the forestry branch, is young timber, Mr. Zavitz said, and when this.ages the province will be reâ€" paid many times over. Referring to an article dealing with forest fire prevention that appeared reâ€" cently in the Toronto Saturday Night, the speaker said the officials of the department had placed no stock in it and asked what methods the writer would substitute in preference to those now in vogue. Dr. J. H. White, of the Universi Toronto, gave an interesting ad on ‘"‘FTorest Management in Eur Increased attention is being give Europe, he said, to the problem 0 forestation. In the open discussion that followed the addresses, the following districts were discussed:;: Tweed, Algonquin Parry Sound, North Bay, Sudbury Cochrane, Sault Ste. Marie and Oba. According to the despatches reportâ€" ing the convention, the seventy mer attending the convention included al foresters, fire inspectors and th chief fire rangers from Kapuskasin: scast to the Ontarioâ€"Quebec boundary District Forester W. B. Greenwood, it charge of the North Bay inspectorate presided. Beginning a discussion on the deâ€" velopment of the personnel of the fire rangers‘ organization, H. W. Crosbie, d@istrict forster of T‘weed, expressed the hope that in the notâ€"distant future a school for rangers would be inauguâ€" rated. "Such a school is greatly needâ€" ed," he said, "but pending its establishâ€" ment I think that we can do a great deal to develop the men we now have on the staff." . "The first and most important step for the improvement of the personnel, is the procuring of better men. It chould be the policy to select the very best men obtainable, giving due reâ€" gard to their experience, education, inâ€" telligence, physical fitness, sobriety, inâ€" dustry, faithfulness and effectiveness. After we have the best men obtainable, then it is up to the administrative offiâ€" cers of the organization to get from these men, the best work of which they are capable. We know that there is a limit to the amount of funds for forest protection work, but with the same amount of money, I think we could have a better service by employing a <smaller number of better qualified men, who would be attracted to the service by higher pay." Although not advocating a wage inâ€" crease for rangers, Mr. Crosbie suggestâ€" ed a graded scale of pay, so that men would be paid higher wages if they were worth it.

W. Wright, president of the Norâ€" thern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade is credited with saying that there are none starving in the North Land. The Advance wishes that the statement was absolutely correct, literally and in its implications, but unfortunately it is misleading so far as some parts of the | North are concerned. The Advance does ' not know of anyone actually stmvmg! to death in this North; if such a case were know it would not take long for l the generous psople of this country to avoid such a tragedy. But, it must bei sadly admitted tha there are too many ‘ cases where settlers and tneir famitlies in certain sections of this North are altogether too close to starvation, and too near to hardships of various kinds.| Mr. Wright apparently was replying to[ the statements made by Mr. Legault,| M.PP.. for Sturgeon Falls, who is | quoted as telling the Legislature thatl there are 25,000 settlers in the North | who are close to starvation. It may j be admitted that Mr. Legault made the case too stxong, but it can equally be j confessed that Mr. Wright is too mild.! Mr. Legault is said to have in mind the | There May Be Prosperous Sections but Where There are No Roads the Settlers are Having a Hard Time settlers in North Cochrane, while Mr. Wright spoke of conditions as he knows them in Central Temiskaming. Accordâ€" ing to The Northern Tribune, of Kaâ€" puskasing, conditions among the settlers along the Transcontinental are bacl The Advance knows that much nearéer Timmins than the Transcontinental there are cases of Settlers suffering hardship. If Mr. Wright wishes the facts in the matter he should get in touch with some of the parish priests, or some of the other clergymen who do charitable work, or any â€"of the people concerned in the various social and reâ€" lief organizations. It appears that certain sections of tho North have prosperous settlers. Acâ€" cording to Mr. Wright the section around Englehart would appear to be of that kind. To judge from recent reâ€" marks by Mr. A. J. Kennedy, M.P.P., the section around New Liskeard is cimilarly happy. Just in passing, there is the temptation to wonder why the farmers and settlers in these sections should be so comfortable at the preâ€" sent, while it was only a few months ago that they were pictured as in douâ€" ble desperate plight because of the failâ€" ure to harvest the crops last year on account of the unusual amount of rain. But let that pass! All will be delighted to feel that there is Ittle, if any, hardâ€" ship among the settlers in certain parts tant of a forest region," he said, "but changes are being effected. There is being developed a forest fire prevention organization that requires men possessâ€" ing the abilities of a thorough woodsâ€" man, knowledge of engineering, and a talont for law enforcement and enâ€" listing public coâ€"operation. Telephony, aviation, radio and fire finding are but a few of the sciences which have become part of the methods for detecting and controlling forest fires. It is a recognized fact that in the organization there is a lack of suffiâ€" ciently well trained men to fill the new needs.

Johnson, Ottawa, assistant to the chief fire inspector of the Board of Railway commissioners. of the North. It must be admitted, however. that conditions all over the North are not so delightful. In last week‘s Advance there was a letter from a settler in the Night Hawk Lake area, suggesting that the settlers in that disâ€" trict were having their own struggles. From various parts of other sections of this North there are even more deâ€" pressing reports. It would seem that where there are roads the settlers can make good. but where there are not transportation facilities the struggle is apparently a hepeless one. The New Liskeard Speaker is inclined to object to the suggestions that the settlers in parts of the North suffer from bad conditibns. The Speaker knows its section around New Liskeard and through Central Temiskaming, and no doubt has the right conception of conditions so far as they relate to the area with which it is acquainted. It is a section, however, that is well supplied with roads. Mr. Kennedy, the member for Temiskaming in the Legisâ€" lature, was recently quoted as saying that there was not a settler in his constituency who did not have an outâ€" let to a market. In other parts of the north this happy state does not obtain The whole crux of the problem to acâ€" hieve prosperity for the settlers is in the matter of roads. With roads the settlers will do well. Without roads, what chance have the settlers to make good? It may not be unfair to say that where the settlers have no roads to acâ€" commodate them they are up against a tough proposition to make any proâ€" gress. On the other hand where they have roads they eventually do all right. There does not seem to be much quesâ€" tion as to the agricultural possibilities of this North Land. In this connecâ€" tion it is interesting to note what The New Liskeard Speaker says about the question last week:â€""There are 29 agricultural townships in Temiskaming sixteen of them having municipal orâ€" ganization and the remainder having school and statute labour organization. And the fact has been demonstrated many times that Temiskaming grown cereals are the best that are grown anywhere. Out of 82 field competitors in spring wheat, on one occasion open to Ontario, Temiskaming‘s two enâ€" trants took the highest and fourth highest marks. The highest mark was 92 per cent. A few years ago New Lisâ€" keard Agricultural Society sold and shipped a car load of seed barley to Alberta. _ Did Old Ontario ever send seed grain to Western Canada? This spring the Provincial Superintendent _of District Agricultural representatives is purchasing Temiskaming seed wheat for school children‘s fairs in Southern Ontario. Why in this "strip" of land so lightly referred to by The Sun are three fiourishing agricultural societies and two fine horticultural societies doâ€" ing excellent work. And also a Governâ€" ment,. Demonstration Farm. And we could say much more along this linec if it were necessary. So, we ask The Farmers‘ Sunu not to refer to agriculâ€" tural Temiskaming as a "strip of land between Cobalt and Englehart." He should visit the country, east and west as well as merely taking a carâ€"ride along the Ferguson highway."

A dog‘s life with Commander Byrd‘s stupendous Antarctic expedition may be a hard one, but it should not be a hungry one. Forty tons of dog biscuits were taken to feed Byrd‘s 100 sled dogs, at a cost of almost $8,000.00.
