Owen Sound Sun-Times: 'What has becnme of the good old word 'earns'? Folks are 'getting,' are 'paid' and are 'making' or 'draw' 80 much a day. But nothing is said about anybody 'earning' anything. Significant, isn't it? Speaking of saving daylight, the Brockville Recorder says the only gvod legitimate argument in favor of il is that if any part of the present generation shows a disposition to save anything they should be given encouragement. One effect of prohibition has been a very large increase in the consumplian of sugar, much of the money that formerly was spent over the bar now going in- to candies and sweets of various kinds. Canada's consumption of sugar has grown very rapidly, this year's requirements being estimated at 950,000,000 pounds This year Almonte tried the experiment of bringing in an oul- sidor Lo do.the assessing of their Lown, and notwithstanding a big Jump in valuations there were only eighteen appeals.

Unless Canadians can very largely increase pro- duction for export and also ma- terially decrease their buying in United States markets, patroniz- jing Canadian-made goods in- jstead, they cannot expect much improvement in the exchange | situation.

Speaking at the recent Winni- Says F. CG. Biggs, Ontario Minister st Highways, predicted it would be only a few years until every farmer in Oflario would be an automobilist, driving not only passenger cara, but motor trucks, He said that the farmers were beginning to realize that for the average haul up to +50 or 60 miles, the quickest and most de- pendable method to place their Produce on the market in first- class condition was by the rapid! transportation of the motor truck. There is no doubt of the truth of Mr. Biggs' predictions, and judging by the number of automobiles in use by farmers of this district it is fast coming true. The only objection to the more general use of the truck by the farmer is the winter season when the roads are not passable with motor transport. Good Roads Should Pay Divi- dends to Canadian People Twenty-five thousand chicken dinners are served yearly to motorists by the owner of a small hotel in a little Pennsylvania town on the Lincoln Highway; every hotel on this great thor- oughfare is packed nightly: ev- ery garage does a rushing busi- ness to lourists; clothing stores, drug stores and shoe stores get a lot of tourist business---all be- cause 4f a good road! And that is not saying anything about how this great highway helps the farmer. "What has been done in Pennsylvania can he done in Canada for Canadian restaurant owners, hotel proprietors, garage owners, merchants and farmers," says J. G. Bayerline, President of Columbia Motors Company Detroit. "and good roads will do sit; divert a stream of American gold into Canada that, now goes elsewhere.
