A NAME FOR THE WAR No one has yet provided the war which started a few weeks ago with a distinctive name. so that it might be the more easily disting- uished from the Great War of 1914-18. The struggle of 20 years ago is still so fresh in the minds. of the people and the effects of it etill so apparent that' it has up to the present, been known largely as The War. Some term will have to be found to indicate the distinc- i Port Arthur News-Chron- cle. .

NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER HAPPY DAYS AHEAD With the hunting season about to open, happy days lie ahead for nimrods throughout Ontario. A consensus' of reports from experts on the hunting. outlock in the pro- vince. indicates that prospects look even better than last 'year's suc- cessful hunting season. * In many parts of Ontario moose, deer and black bear are reported to be abundant. 'Among the dis- -tricts in which the outlook'is par- ticularly | good, especially for moose hunting, are Metagama, Chapleau, Nicholson, Schreiber and Nipigon. Ring Necked Pheasants Excellent sport for Ontario shot- gun shooters is promised this year as the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries completes its annual distribution of more than 30,000 ring-necked pheasants throughout the province. The birds will be released in townships establishing protected game areas and an open season will be declar- ed this fall, Killed On The Highways And whilé we're on the subject of hunting, let's say a few words about the astounding amount of game killed annually on the high- ways of this continent. After reading this note we trust you will exercise as much caution as pos- sible in driving through wooded areas in ofder to reduce the am- ount of wildlife destroyed by mo- torists. The Ohio division of conservation has just issued the following figures for game found dead on the highways of Ohio from May 21 to July 1 of this year: Rabbits, 2,620; pheasants, 463; oppossums, 414; quail, 361; deer, 3. : Admittedly, in many instances, . it is impossible to avoid hitting some of the smaller animals and due caution will unquestionably cut down the destruction of game.

But the future effect to tho farmer of such a good crop ig problematical due to- the uncertainty of export markets in the present war situ- atlon, Pears and grapes are quite good, and the peach crop is a bumper one, but again the possible curtailment of home consumption, It a-shortage of sugar for preserve ing Is experienced, may offset the benefits of these excellent fruit crops. ' Roviewing the agricultural situa- tion as a whole, it is unmistakably clear that the Ontario farmer at the present moment is in a better position financially 'than for many seasons past, He Is going to have more money to spend, and retail ers and manufacturers throughout the province will benefit directly, as result of his greater demand, Looking ahead right now, business is going to he good.
