He finally succeeded in getting it stopped and had his wife and child removed from the rig. when they returned to his father's and were afterwards driven home.

STRANG ee The following letter appeared in the Clinton News-Record recently; Sir.--Im reading over the report of the West Huron Teachers' Convention I noticed that Dr. Strang. of Gove- rich. said: "If farmers would not grumble so much in the hearing of their children about their inability to make money on the farm and treat their children ~ better there would not be so much restlessness in the country." Well. now. I am a farmer and have put in the best part of my life on the farm. and | think thera is no more grumbling done by the average farmer than' by the teachers or townspeople. and as_ to money-making. how can a farmer en- courage his family to ptay at home wher at his own door boys and girls from 18 to 20 years of age are get- ting. six hundred dollars per year as teachers. Now. I will say. (put the ame boy om the best ona-hundred acre farm in Huron county. giving him everything required to manage it with. he can not clear as much mioney per yea? as the boy who teaches. The boy on the farm works three hundred and sixty-five days a year and the teacher: works two hundred and thirteen. Query; If farming is such a luerative busi- ness as some townspeople picture it. I wonder why the brainy middle- aged teachers and business men of town do not try farming to en- jarge their bank account? A Contented Farmer, eee ee oe eo PARCEL POST Aun important measure passed dur- ing' the last week was Postmaster- General Pelletier's bill for the estab- lishment of a parcel post system in Ganada. This is to take effect not later than July ist. 1914. Under the plan proposed the country will be divided imto zones. The first will be a local zone. embracing every city. town and village and an area of 20 miles in all directions. The rates in this local zone will be quite low. thus benefitting both the country mer- chant and the farmer. Then each province will constitute a zone. the Maritime Provinces for this purpove being grouped together. Beyond these zones the charges will be advan ced in proportion to the distance. but there will be a maximum rate. Thus while it will cost more to send a pareel from Toronto to Regina than from Toronto to Winnipeg. the rate from Halifax to Vancouver will be the same as the rate from@dalifax to talgary. because the maximum rate will be reached by the latter dis- tance. ne ean al W.

Fasken, Manager THE RECENT NIGHTMARE INTHE BALKANS g Not in two hundred years has there been a War in which the combatants displayed such ferocity as in that which recently took place in the Bal- kans between the "Christian" States which quarreled over the spoils wrest- ed from Turkey. This is the deliberate opinion Prof. Dutton of the eaient College of New York. who was the American representative on an International Commission appointed under the Car- negie Foundation to conduct an en- quiry into the charges of atrocities' committed| in the war. He says that "with all the stories of terrible atrocities im the Balkans that have been sent out by correspondents amd travelers. the half thas not been told." When the réport itself does come out. added Brofessor Dutton. "the world will stand aghast that such things could happen in the twentieth century. The world will be amazed that nations dalling themvelves Christian, could. e'ther through anger on greed. commit such barbarities on their fellow-men." When it is remembered that cor- respondents told of women and child- ren spitted on bayonets. of the whole- sale murder of «prisoners. of the Gouging out of eyes and of whole flistrict' swept as 'by a flame of de- struction one can (realize what may be expected from the official report which will shortly be forthcoming.
