M II_, K EVAPORATED (Unsweetened) COOKS IN 2 MINUTES Settlers of the North Are Deserving of Help The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "The farmer settlers in the Cochinne district, who have been getting together recently. in an attempt to beitter the conditions of the people on the land, have made out a good case to present to the government at Toronto. They have outlined the difficulties under which they are struggling tol make homes for themselves in way that those of us who can recall the early settlement of other sections of the province can readily understand, and.| 1 while in those days there was little or no thought of any outside assistance, we can sympathize and lend what help is possible. That their requests from| the powers that be are not unreasonâ€". able can be seen from a summary of the petition printed in another column of this paper. The sums asked as bonus for the clearing of the land are moderate in comparison with the actual cost in time and hard work that is required for the operation, and there has been plenty of evidence that the 160â€"acre lot is none too large to make a proper farm home. That agriculture is the backbone of the North Country, as it is of almost any other locality is a well known fact and that the lot of the pioneer on the.land is the hardest of all will not be disputed by anyone who has experienced or observed it. It is to be hoped that the government will do all in its power to meet the requests of the settlers, as anything that will tend to better the lot of the pioneer will result in improvement to the counâ€" try as a whole." * §1 Blames Women for Some of the Unemployment The women are reponsible for a great real of current unemployment, that Toâ€" ronto is not bad enough to hate nor good enough to love, and that the yarns about Mills bombs put into the pockets of German prisoners in the late war is so ridiculous that he will give $50.00 to anyone who> will stage a demonâ€" stration, are some of the cutting stateâ€" ments made by Rev. W. Redvers Dent, the Orillia author, in an interview with the Orillia Newsâ€"Letter recently. In this connection The Orillia Newsâ€"Letâ€" ter last week says:â€" That women should not be frittering away their time in business and that Toronto is much like an old lady, not bad enough to be hated and not good enough to be loved, were two of the cpinions expressed in an interview here recently by Rev. W. Redvers Dent, author of the new Canadian war story, "Show Me Death." "I maintain," he said, "that women should not be doing civil work at all, and that a great dasal of current unâ€" employment would be wiped out if women had not scabbed on the job and held on to their positions after the war. "All women‘s energies are needed for bearing children and running the home. As I see it, it is a ridiculous waste that, with thousands of men out of work, women should be devoting to business the valtiable energies which they need for bearing children." As for sports, Mr. Dent thought woâ€" men should confine themselves to the less strenuous branches. In such games as football or hockey, a women is neithâ€" er graceful nor beautiful, he stated. In his book Mr. Dent has displayed a certain restraint in his enthusiasm for Toronto. Questioned as to his feelâ€" ings toward the city, he replied: ‘"Toâ€" ronto is to me like a dear old lady, very proper, If she doesn‘t like anything, she won‘t believe it, even if it is true. And just like the old lady, she takes glass of dandelion wine for her stoâ€" mach‘s sake and kicks up her heels. The question whether I like or dislike Toronto doesn‘t enter into it. Toronto is not bad enough to hate, and not good Mr. Dent has previously ridiculed atrocity stories about Mills bombs being placed in the pockets of German priâ€" soners of war and there allowed to exâ€" plode. When it was pointed out that a writer in the Orillia Newsâ€"Letter was claiming that such a procudure was physical possibilityâ€"if not necessarily an â€" historical actualityâ€"Mr. Dent grinned delightedly. enough to love?" "I will give $50 to anyone who will release the spring of a Mills bomb, inâ€" sert it in the pocket of a scarecrow and get away safely," he said. *"The spring is four inches long. If placed in the pocket, the pocket would keep the spring down. As I have thrown several hundreds of Mills bombs in my time, I think I may speak with a certain amount of authority." KIRKLAND LAKE YOUNGSTER DIES FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE Donald McAuley, threeâ€"yearâ€"old son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael McAuley,, of Kirkland Lake, died last week from some cause not yet determined, an autopsy failing to show why the child‘s death took place. The stomach and contents were sent to Toronto for anâ€" alysis to see whether the child had eaten something hurtful at some time during the day. The child is said to have mentioned feeling unwell in the morning but went out to play and was apparently recovered. At three o‘clock in the afternoon he again mentioned that he did not feel good, but he again went out to play. At that he felt sick, and a doctor was sent for. Despite all that medical care could do, the youngâ€" ster passed away at about eight o‘clock. According to the newspaper reports, the only sign that the child was actualâ€" ly ill was that he did some vomiting after his return home at five o‘clock. The death of the child came as a shock to Kirkland Lake people who know that family and the deepest sympathy of all is being extended to the bereaved parents, his two brothers and four sisâ€" ters who survive.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO GOVERNMENT GONSIDERING LAND PROBLEMS OF NORTH North‘; Development MHeld Back in Some Measure by the General Conâ€" ditions in Regard to Agriculâ€" ture in the World. The recent meeting of settlers at Cochrans to discuss and consider conâ€" ditions in regard to settlement and its handicaps in this North has roused general interest, and newspapers in both the North and the South have had articles in reference to colonization 1 I and settlemzant. Several of these arti-| cles have been reâ€"printed in The Adâ€" vance so that readers among the setâ€" tlers and others particularly interested i may see what other newspapers say.‘ The editor of The New Liskeard Speakâ€" er is one of the pioneers of the North: and knows the farming business thorâ€" oughly. His opinion is therefore of special interest and value. It is true that in Temiskaming conditions are not the same now as in North and south Cochrane. As The Speaker points out, the Temiskaming clay belt is practically all settled. Indeed, Teâ€" miskaming may be said to be a country of farmers in contradistination to Cochrane District as a land of settlers. In the matter of roads this difference is particularly noticeable. The big need of North and South Cochrane is for roads. In Temiskaming, The Adâ€" vance understands, there is no farmer who does not have access to his homeâ€" stead by a road. Literally hundreds of settlers in this other part of the North have been for five to fifteen years or more without proper roads, and having in many cases to pack their ’stufi on their backs to and from their homesteads. _ With this preface The Advance publishes the following article from last week‘s issue of The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker:â€" » camed â€" "Thirtyâ€"four years ago 'when settleâ€" ment of Temiskaming began, the Mines as well as the Crown Lands were adâ€" ministered by one Minister, the Hon. E. J. Davis. The settlement of the disâ€" trict was rapid, and every one seemed to be satisfied. Later, a Conservative Government separated these departâ€" ment and formed a departmeit for the mines. Now the:e comes a demand from the newest north for a further .change, and it is thought that there ought to be a separate "Promotion of Settlement Department." "In our last issue we expressed our opinion that it is the duty of the Norâ€" thern members, not only the Cochrane members, but the Legislature, to go inâ€" to this matter very thoroughly, and make recommendations to the Governâ€" ment. In order to fully understand Cochrane‘s difficulties, these Northern members might find it necessary to visit these constituencies, and get the views of settlers. were done, the petitions which are being sent out for signatures might be dispensed with. Indeed, we have reason to believe that this matter is now receiving the attenâ€" tion of members of the Legislature as well as the Government. "However, just here, it might be well for those who are surprised that Cochâ€" rane districts are not being settled as quickly as could be desired, not to forâ€" get that farming in the best agriculturâ€" al districts of the world has not been a flourishing industry for several years past, and several European countries} are giving farmers a cash rebate on grain exported, while the United States has voted $5,000,000 with which to help; farmers, so it is not surprising that land covered with bush is not being eagerly sought after. And we might add that the cleared land of the West has always been more attractive to the average settler than our timber land. Proof of this is clearly shown by the following paragraph which we take from Onward: "There is an increasing demand for free homesteads in Canada. Last year (1929) there were 14,586 enâ€" tries in the western provinces, and these represented no less than 2,293,760 acres. Alberta led with 8,126 entries. "The figures given in the above short extract speak for themselves, and emâ€" phasize the importance of the Governâ€" ment and Legislature thoroughly studyâ€" ing the conditions existing in Cochrane district. We have many times conâ€" trasted the Temiskaming region for agricultural purposes with the condiâ€" tions existing in Western Canada, and always to the advantage of our own districts. Many of those who settled in Western Canada during the past two years are Americans from the Western States, and brought up in prairie country they do not know how good a thing it is for a settler to have timber for lumber, firewood, etc. Ansouncement is made of a general meeting of the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion to be held in the Oddfellows hall on Monday evening, March 24th, at 8 pm. After the busiâ€" ness of the meeting there will be a "As we have previously stated land in Temiskaming Claybelt has almost all been settled. Indeed, there are not more than eight or ten lots in the Social Evening Next Monday Night at Legion southern agency which have not been sold by the Government. These lots are rough or in need of draining."

About eight o‘clock one evening he and some other lads were playing round the tank which has not been in use for some three years. It was used prior to 1926 to provide water pressure for fire protection but was left in disuse when the town installed its present pumping system. Boys have been in the habit of playing around it and climbing up the 90â€"ft ladder on the outside of it. Last week Kochel and some other lads went right to the top and there found a trapâ€"door. Young Kochel opened the trapâ€"door and discovered a rove hangâ€" Guaranteed by CANADHIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Limited GENERAL ELECTRIC is the first and only refrigerator built entirely of steel.

The adventurous young. boy decided to go down the rope to see what he could see, even if it was dark inside. He went the length‘of the rope: and found it only a few feet to drop to the bottom of the tank. Of course, he dropped. That sort of a lad would. After a minute or two feeling around at the bottom of the tank inside he deâ€" cided he would go back up the rope. But he couldn‘t get grip enough on the rope to pull himself up. He could just reach the end of the rope, but was not able to negotiate the return journey. As soon os he found that he could not get out he yelled up to the other boys to get help. He had difficulty making himself heard or understood. Eventuâ€" ally, however, the boys left and Kochel found the bottom of the tank both cold and uncomfortable, He felt no daoubt that he had been imprisoned for hours, but it was only an hour before help arrived. By the use of another and longer rope, and one that was new and dependable a man went down the inside of the tank and bought the boy safely up again to the top of the tank and then assisted him down the long ladder to the ground. Young :Kochel and his boy friends were taught a severe lesson, no doubt, and it is not likely they will ever try a foolhardy trick like this again. But probably they will be into other adventurous mischief just as bad. Otherwise, the spirit of boyhood would be changed. No one wants to change the spirit of boyhood, but grownâ€"ups do occasionâ€" ally wish very sincerely that the young venturers would show a little common sense and regard for safety.
