le? oy Cer " he Se A oe ARAL NS AS CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD ~ AT LARGE CANADA WHEAT IS BRIGHT The truth is that once more, after geveral bad years, the wheat mar. ket outlgok is bright. It it were not for the Canadian stocks on dand prices would be soaring to heights Canadian farmers have not permitted themselves even to dream of for the the last five years. The Canadian reserve steadies the situation. it ¢hould not be forgotten, however, that these reserves were accumula- ted in the successful effort to get a much higher price for wheat in 1932, '33 and '34 than .the farmers would otherwise have received. -- Winni- pez Tribune, HITCH.HIKER A NUISANCE It is impossibe to drive anywhere today without encountering a patient droop-shouldered chap who stands by the roadside and continuously jerks his thumb across his chest. He is a hiteh-hiker, one of the strangest pro- ducts of the auto age and he is get. ting to be an unmitigated nuisance. He collects a great deal of free transportation, promotes the exis. tence of a vagabond class whch does the country no good and creates a new opening for a lot of old-fashioned highway robbery.--Guelph Mercury. GOOD EXAMPLE A good precedent has been set by Magistrate Tinker, of Toronto, who das given instructions tha: to make sure reckless drivers whose permits 'have boen cancelled, do not drive during the suspension period, such persons must bring their license plates to court, Some men may-drive fo; a con iderable time without driv- ing permits, but they will not gel very far without licen e plates. Other mag'sirates might follow this excellent example. -- Niagara Falls Review. g FOR GREATER SAFETY - Shatter-proof glass will be obliga. gatory in new cars sold in Ontario next year, which means that there will be fay fewer gashes for the doc- tor to sew up. -- Brockville Recorder.

Seven were Windsorites; the other was a Detroit visitor. In tha group were four medical men, one retail mer- chant, one wholesaler and one news. paperman -- all of Windsor. "Pid you hear so and so0's speech on 'Saturday night?" someone asked. The newspaperman said he had liz- tened to the whole of it. One doctor admitted he had heard part. The rest had no. heard one word of it. newspaperman ccmmented that de had listened ail through as a matter of personal professional interest. Pcople who attach so muoh impor- tance to the radio as a means of get.ing their messages -- business, |' political o1 otherwise -- to the pub- lic might give some consideration: to this informal survey. Here we have a typical group of Canadian citizens, seven of them, and oniy one of the seven heard the address, Five of them failed to hear a word of fit. Yesterday we heard a man remark that some of the biggest wireless program:, some of the finest and maost expensive features, were de- lightful for the public' but mighty poor business for the large firms making them possible. His explana. tion was that. the programs have worked up great fame for certain artists, bu: mighty little for the pro- ducts the artists are supposed to ads vertise. By way of illustrating his point, this gent'eman said that he had taken ihe trouble to inquire from several of his friends as to the sponsor. ship of one of the air's most celebra- ted, most costly programs, Of five persons to whom he had spoken, only one was able to name the pro- duct advertised. -- Windsor Star.

Our imaginations do not get enough exercise and that is bad for us all. = Quebec Chronicle.Tele. graph, 130,000 MORE TOURISTS According to Mr, J. BE. Perrault, Minister of Roads, something like 130,000 more tourists came to Que- bao this year than last, The number of United Siates cars remaining in the province 24 hours was 130,000 as against 124,000 last year; the num- ber remaining anywhere from two days to two months 168,000 as against 129,000 last year. ; The amount of money spent by 168,000 motorists . touring Quebec, most of them for weeks, must have bsen enormous, must have run into rany millions, ~~ Which emphasizes asain, we think, © the tremendous 'value to Canada of the tourist busi. poss.

Last year Canada established a Travel Bureau. It has done excellent work. It has done such good work, has paid for itself so many times over, let it be hoped that whatever Government is in office next year will develop and enlarge the Bureau's activities. We in Canada spend and have been spending large sums of money--mil. lions -- to develop other industries.

"JUNK" ON THE HIGHWAYS A despatch from Owen Sound about: the adventure of a youth and three! friends in a 1919 motor car purchas- ed for $5 lends itself to an appeal for the removal of "junk cars' from the public highways. The quartette made the trip from Owen Sound to "oron'o in nine hours. They had all sorts of trouble on the way, as may be imagined, and when they came to hills they had to push it, the other traffic behind being he!d up until they reached the top. No doubt the youths had a good time--of a kind --the exploit being fun to them, but we trust this auto- mobile has since been junked or that the police will put the new law iu op- eration and seize jt as a menace to the public. There are so many dangers on the highways without the added risk of dilapidated cars, the e:sential parts of which: function imperfectly if they function at all, that adventures of this kind should be prohibited. --5St. Catharines Standard. THE EMPIRE TIMES HAVE CHANGED Australin mus: awaken to the fact that in matters of trade and tariff she can no longer have her own way unrestrained. We have had a long run. We have for more than half a century maintained high tariffs against Great Britain and have thus sheltered our own industries; and it i3 no: for us either to complain that Britain should impose one duty on one of our products or to repine that wa have to suffer from the new Brit- ish policy. After all, a tax on meat is preferable to certain o'aer meas. ures whf€h have been suggested. One of- these was the payment of a very ers of meat. This would have enabled the Briti:h to undersell the Australi- an producer in the British market. Another suggestion was the limita. tion of Australian exports to Great Britain. This would have led to a restriction of the production in Aus. {ralia--a policy of domestic despera- tion in a new country. It seems that the tax will injure us less than would any other measure. -- The Ausz- tralasian, . FINANCING AT HOME ~ One of the first du.les of a Coloni- al Government (as we presume fit is of its first desires also) is to benefit both directly and indirectly the coun. try whose affairs it administers. It knows that to ob:ain a loan in Eng- land and to pay interest there {s of advantage to the English investors; and undoubtedly it is right to pre. fer, es indeed {t must, the English investor tg any other except the Col- onial investor. But the local investor should come first in a colony as he does in England; and when both the Colonial and English Inve:tor can | The Week In Ottawa a Ottawa.--Leaving Toronto Sep- tember 14, immediately after the last of a series of four radio ad- dresses, Prime Minister R. B. Ben- nett has moved from personal triumph to personal triumph in Western Canada. First he went to Regina. There he was accorded a spontaneous ova- tion by a gathering of 7,600 people in the Armouries that has never been equalled in the history of the Queen City of the West. It was a striking tribute to the man who has brought Canada through five years of economic crisis unequalled in the history of the country; and to 'the courage of the Prime Minister in opening his public speaking cam- paign in the very heart of a district that has felt depression's sting the keenest, made worse by successive years of crop failures through drought. Mr. Bennett went to Lethbridge from Regina--another hard hit dis- trict. His reception there was even better. The pendulum of enthusiasm was swinging more solidlly -toward the Prime Minister. Herc and there, at divisional points, he had stepped from his railway car to greet and chat with groups of people eager to hear his message." Nothing in any way formal -- just a Westerner talking to Westerners, Then on to Calgary, his home town, From the railway station to the hotel where he would stay is less than an average city block. Yet it took Mr. Bennett an hour and a quarter to make-his way through the enthusiastic throng who greeted him familiarly and sincerely as "R.B." and sought to shake him by the hand. It was a real Western welcome -- sincere enough to dispel any doubt in his mind as to whether his titanic labours of the past five years had been in any way futile, Incidentally, there is plenty of meat in the four radio speeches of the Prime Minister to keep .thinking minds busy for a day or two. Boiled down, they show Canada's Man of the Hour and Man of Action has the nation's problems at his finger tips, that he is a few jumps ahead of the other political leaders in this ca paign. Here is a summary of the points driven home in the four addresses: FIRST ADDRESS 1. To maintain peace. for .Canada. 2.

Remarks Mr. Marston:--Ottawa is still Canada's Capital. . The re- minder isn't necessarily a waste of words, Of course it is a fact cos- mopolitan visitors: remember when carrying away pleasant recollections of its buildings; its beauty, its charm and its famed hospitality. In Europe its importance is recognized and not unheard of in Asia, That is the for- eign situation. But among the native born there seem to be many with a wrong slant towads their country's Capital, To some it is unknown and unvisited, heard of but unsung. There are those to whom Paris is a familiar playground, London a dream fulfilled, and Ottawa merely a place back home. Canadians should become Ottawa conscious, The Capital is not just a landmark where Federal laws are made on Parliament Hill,-- an over- grown town masquerading as a met- ropolis, Quite apart from its national importance it is a city of grace and dignity set in a garden spot of the world, In incalculable ways it is linked with a ' country stretching from ocean to ocean, reaching far to the North, and with a Southern pboundary that needs no 'armétl pro- tection. What Ottawa will become no man may foretell but its foundatons are strong and its ever increasing importance seems assured. - To those who know it Ottawa needs no selling. Still in. a transi- tion stage it must be visited at in- tervals to keep abreast of its many changes, It has gone far since a cynic dubbed it "City of sawdust and civil service," For all its peace, its dignity, its air akin to aloofness, Ottawa has a colorful background quite unsuspected by those content with the obvious, It is breath taking its surroundings, the personalities of those who made possible what it is --that story of the selection of 'what is now its site, the development of today. These things combine to make a bit of modern history fuller of act- jon, daring and deyiltry than any weaver of wild west romance would presume to put before his readers, Wonderful tales there are of pione- ers, of lumbermen and soldiers who had .vision--who built its first bridges, laid out its streets, engineer- ed the canal that so adds to is picturesqueness. It is' not a story of long ago. A century and a half covers the span from 'forest prime: val" impressiveness to the present. Compared with cities that date back to the days when New France was young Ottawa is as a modern novel to an old-fashioned "three-decker." In spite of its marvellous setting Ottawa must have been ugly in in- fancy. Undoubtedly it was touched by the commonplace, Today it can easily hold its own, It varies marked- ly as two towns do, and bits cf the immediate past mingle with newer developments, Though it lacks an- cient monuments it is building those that will endure. Though modern it is already mellow. Even in its com- parative youth it seems mature. Escaping the curse of blatant new- ness it blends with the hills that are its background. It has long lost the pioneer brand, and in its place achieved a sort of patina usually as- sociated with age, B Qttawa's charm is elusive, Its environs suggest the quiet poise of some old university town. It repays study in all its aspects. Standing at the country's cross roads many paths meet before it--a junction where the" life and interests of a nation blend. There is little use try- ing to describe the city. Tourist agencies say it with adjectives, and guide books praise it with many words. But a thumbnail' sketch can-|. not do it justice, or convey an idea of its resources, To read. what Ot- tawa is will arouse interest, but to know it awakens enthusiasm. Thoge to whom it is little more than a name --the coast to coast commuter, 'and travellers whose tickets call for. less mileage--should- use up all stop- over privileges and see for them- selves. Canadians should study their Capital and all for which it stands. Adult and child should know the poignant significance of i435 Peace Tower, the dignity of the buildings on the Hill, and learn at first hand | of their counfry in its making.

Sissons was repairing a pillar-box at Hutton | Cranswick, Z School Child's Lunch Should be Varied The school child's lunch packet should be varied from day to day, says a writer in New Health magaz- ine. Nothing kills the appetite more surely than the terrible unvarying monotony of sandwiches and bread- and-cheese, though both of these are a convenient and well-balanced way of giving the child the three neces- sary elements of food-carbohydrate, food and fat.. But they need not be given every day, The bread may be given as toast, with butter and a tiny pot for potted meat, or a hard- boiled egg, or even the humble sausage wrapped in a leaf of lettuce, and followed by a few biscuits and a piece of cheese. § When sandwiches are taken they should be made of wholewheat bread, cut thinly, and it is a good plan not to make them all of one kind, One half might be of grated cheese, and the other of tomato, or one half of cold ham and the other of hard-boiled egg and cress. All sandwiches are much improved, from the point of view of their vitamin content, if a leaf of lettuce is placed on each side of whatever filling is chosen. The variety of fillings should be as great as possible, the greater the variety the greater their value as appetizers. ; The lunch should invariably in- clude some raw fruit, and with a glass of milk there is no need to worry about the health-giving quality of such a meal. i The busy mother may think she has no time to prepare such "fal- lals" of meals, but she will find that it does not after all take up much time and thought' if she keeps a small stock of the necessary packing materials, and she will be repaid a thousandfold by the improvement in her child's health 'and well-being.

The project makes possible the feeding and fat. tening of Western range lambs dur. ing the fall and winter on farms in Eastern Canada where there is ample building accommodation, good water supply and a plentiful stock of feed, including clover or alfalfa hay and home grown grains. For the third consecutive year sheep ranchers in the Maple Creek area of Southwest. ern Saskatchewan who are members of 'the Southern Saskatchewan Wool Growers Association have. cooperat ed with the Dominion Department of Agriculture in consigning lambs une der the rancher-feeder agreement plan, Officials 'of the Dominion Live Stock Branch Field Services are at the moment busily engaged in locat. ing farmers who are desirous of feed. ing and fattening lambs this coming fall and winter, 5 Under the above project farmers who are approved as-lamb feeders will not be required to lay out any cash, The freight charges to feed-lot will be. prepaid by'the Dominion Depart. ment of Agriculture, reimbursement being made from the proceeds of sale when lambs are fattened and dave been marketed, Feeders are required to have suitable equipment in. the form of feeding sheds, plenly of feed and good water, They are also re. quired to feed and mafket in accord. ance with the procedure prescribed by the Dominion Live Stock Branch officials. Ranchers retain ownership of the lambs until marketed so that under the agreement the rancher and the feeder receive thelr respective lambs are marketed. : A valuation of three dollars and seventy-five cents per hundredweight is placed on the lambs at the Moose Jaw stockyards where official weights - are established. Freight from ship. ping point to feed-lot will be added , to the initial price charged against the feeder when lambs go, into the feed-lot. ' -- Under the rancher-feeder agree- ment for 1935, the feeder receives the value of all the gain in weight plus sixty per cent. of te spread after freight and marketing charges have bden deducted: The rancher receives the value at three dollars and sevens ty-five cents per hundredwelight, Moose Jaw Weights, plus forty per cent. of the spread. ; : In 1934 nearly seven thousand head of feeder lambs: were fattened in On- tario under the Lamb Feeding Pro- ject. The best feeders were able to make gains: as high as forty-seven pounds 'per lamb. The selling price for feed-lot lambs when cold as fat lambs at Toronto" was almost on a basis of seven dollars to seven dol. lars and thirty.five cents with the Xmas and New Year market at eight dollars and eight dollars and fif.y cents per hundredweight. Towards the end of May the price advanced to eight dollars and seventy-five cents per hundredweight, Lambs off the range usually weigh between 50 and 60 pounds, The feeding period 1s from 100 to 150 days depending on feeds, management, etc. ; Saskatchewan lambs will be ap proved before shipment by an of- ficial of the Dominion Live Stock Branch and will be shipped in double- deck cars con'aining 290 head, Care: must be exercised during the first month in getting the lambs on grain feed. Whole oats 13 considered to be the safest grain to feed at this time. When lambs have become accustom. ed to eating a pound of grain daily they may be fed a more fal'tening grain feed by gradually adding bara ley, wheat screenings or other home- are almost essential for the best re- sults. The amount of hay required may be greatly reduced if corn en silage is available. Turnips or roots of. 'any kind. are also excellent. Those desiring to fatten range feeder lambs should communicate with A. A. MacMillan, Associate Chief, Field Services, Liva Stock Branch, O:tawa. Some indication should be glven of the accommodation available, tlie amount of feed on hiand, and past experience In fattening live stock.
