"PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, A SUPPLY AND DEMAND There is a good deal of "blind" production in this and all other countries. In view of the fact that demand is not so great as supply, there should be some reliable method of keeping the public informed as to public requirements in the necessities and luxuries of life. 3 Just now the market is flooded with wheat, which is being sold at an unprofitable price. Yet the probability is that a large acreage of wheat will be sown next year, and prayers will be are we going to do with the wheat? Nobody seems to know. A year ago a large automobile. factory had many autos stored, and a determined effort was made to limit production. In every marketing of those goods is the big problem. It looks as though the Government would have to undertake a new i of information and suggestion as to production. Statistics in all lines of life are at the disposal of the Government; and that information rightly condensed, should be the basis of supply and emand. It becomes increasingly apparent that the happy go lucky days of production will have to give place to a much more intei- ligent program, so that the tragedy of mountains of goods and few buyers will be averted. Doubtless there will be many difficulties to be overcome be- fore such an idea as here suggested could be put into operation. But there are greater difficulties to be met if we continue to pro- duce without warrant of a market. Two facts which most people overlook are these: 1. In civilized countries the "saturation" point as to luxuries is not so distant as it was ten years ago, 2. More countries are producing their own requirements; and these countries are ceasing to be customers for surplus pro- duction, | Chicken Stealing Growing Serious Russell Wray, north of Port Perry, reports loss of 500 Roosters, 200 Pullets, and a number of Ducks and 'Geese Possible Developments as to Thieves On Tuesday morning the people of this community were again startled by a report of chicken stealing-- this time on a large scale. Mr. Russell Wray, who lives on the Seagrave Road, north of Honey's corners, has reported the loss of several hundred fowl, taken from his premises on Monday night. The details 8f the robbery are not available. The police are working on the case, and some evidence of a sensational character is being followed--we hope with definite results, The loss to Mr. Wray is very serious. Some very therough measures will have to be taken to deal with menace to the welfare of the community. 1 VEMBER 20, 1930 offered for a bounteous harvest.

EET Am INDIAN PLACE NAMES IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO By W. F. Moore, Dundas. In this fascinating and instructive work, Captain Moore has gathered to- gether the Indian Place-names of the Province, explaining the meanings of the names and telling how many of thém originated. The book will be not only of interest to those who live in or near such places as bear the old Indian names, but also of value to students of local lore, and to teachers and' pupils of High and Public Schools, for place-names, like words themselves, are the repositories of history. Some may think that a number of Indian names have been omitted, but as a matter of fact, cer- tain names that are seemingly Indian are of a quite different origin. In- stance, Lobo is of Spanish origin, Madoc is Welsh, and Mariposa is Spanish. Captain W. F. Moore, the author, taught school for 55 years in the Pro- vince of Ontario. He has taken a keen interest in library work, and was at one time President of the Ontario Library Association. He has also taken a very keen interest in educa- tional work, being President of the Ontario Educational Association in 1920. Captain Moore has been much with the Indians of the Pacific coast and with those of Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec, and has had a good opportunity of learning much of their habits and legends and language at first hand.
