when a visiting minister was preaching on the topic bar gain day today here in part is what the minister is quoted as say ing in the crass materialism of the present age we may fool ourselves that we are getting a bargain but we are not ho continued he told of women lighting their way at bargain sales downtown when they might buy tho same article from a local merchant save carfare down town and get bettor quality goods i do not pretend to be infallible myself he frankly admitted telling of one instance where be had purchased half a dozen pair of socks for a small sum and then found ho could wear two pairs out in a day however if you buy a sweater at 59 cents you cant go home with a good christian con science he said because some one has had to make a terrific sacrifice to enable you to buy the article at such a price and jesus said when on earth do unto others as you would be done by ho re ferred to the famous stevens price spreads investigation and said that it was the failure of christian men and women to live up to the teachings of their christianity that had permitted merchants to exploit sweatshop labor in cheap groceries he said the farmer was robbed and if a case of tomatoes was offered in a store for go cents some employ in the canning factory or the farmer who grew tho tomatoes suffered a heavy loss however in the crass materialism of today merchants are not in business for their health and so long as you encourage these bargain sales by buying these bar gains such conditions will continue there is much to be said in favor of the arguments presented iby this minister we do believe however that there is such a thing as bar gains in business which do not al ways represent sweatshop labor or inferior goods there is the case of the merchant who finding his stock is not moving as it should offers the public goods at reduced prices to sell them rather than carry them over sometimes as unfrofitable stock on the other hand it is fair to say that while it is a common trait in humanity to hunt for bargains and that while we all like to feel that we are getting something for noth ing in the long run we get just what we pay for for after all a man in business seeking to make a living cannot be expected to give away goods at a figure below what is a legitimate profit and few if any do it mass production may make lower prices in some goods possible but in the end it will be found that they are not being given away not by any means also that low price tickets do not mean so much canadian vs english style newspapers the w h shaw store canadian horses in scotland a spirited demand was experienc ed for eightyfour canadian work horses at a sale held by messrs macdonald fraser co ltd at perth scotland says a despatch from overseas with the exception of a few percherons all were clydes dales of a good class from four to eight years old warranted good workers sound in wind and eye sight and free from a shivering and stringhalt tho animals

180400 acres as against 213900 in 1934 and a ten- year average of 230800 acres total production in 1935 was estimated at 3s96000 bushols and in 1934 at 4385000 bushels with the average yield per acre practically the same in both years export movement of this grain to tho united states which in somo years takes a considerable portion of tho canadian output is expected to he negligible in 193c tho price per bushel is quite low this season and per acre roturns are not very remunerative buck wheat possesses special merit as r weedkilling crop and provides somo financial return from the land at the same time for this reason farmers will probably continue to the picture youve been waiting for mr deeds goes to town will bo shown on sept 242526 at the stanley due no doubt to lack of local or canadian news with any particular glamour to it the large daily news papers are giving their readers a double dose of the spanish civil war just as if it were at our very door instead of thousands and thousands of miles away while war news pro vide an easy selling headline many people think it is being work ed in an unwarranted manner and they would sooner read something different it is a noticeable fact that our dailies magnify the euro pean news ina manner far exceeding the english newspapers which are much closer to the trouble and should have a keener interest on saturday when a bunch of english papers arrived at the office of the tribune we compared an issue of the london times with an issue of a toronto evening paper which emblazioned in a headline news on spain while the english paper re ported the war situation under a small 24 point single column head ing of course the attitude of the toronto papers in this matter may help to arouse the canadian people to a greater determination to avoid war if at all possible and if it does that it will have been worth while even if we do grow tired of reading featured news from the other side of the world provincial match grows in interest two functions worth while reading over the exchanges that have come to our desk during the last few weeks it seemed to us that two functions if they may be so called are more popular this year than ever before the family reunion and the decoration or memorial service in the community burying ground says the arthur enterprise of family reunions there seems to have been a regular epidemic while in almost every community an annual memorial service is now held in the cemetery often it is un der the direction of a society or organization sometimes it is community affair it is almost a ways held on a sunday afternoon with a religious service graves are decorated with flowers and large crowds attend among family re- unons there is also a strong similar ity in character there is usually a program of games a bountiful lunch and the election of ollicers very occasionally some attempt is made to study family history or to com pile information regarding the clan that might prove of value both gatherings are worth while and are to some extent correlated relatives should have considerable in common and the better we become acquaint ed with them as a rule the better we like them disparaging jokes about ones relatives are often con sidered smart but the joker is liable to be a little short in real worth to those joked about at any rate the family reunion is becoming more and more a popular gettogether and family ties are being strengthened on the other hand an afternoon once a year can well be spent in paying tribute to the memory of relatives gone on before perhaps the sentiment connected with devo tion to the memory of the pioneers is a bit overworked at times but when one stands among the graves of ancestors and those who worked and accomplished with them it is a good time to check up on ourselves to see if we are really proving quite as worth while as those who labored and sacrificed thinking they were giving up the opportunity to be come moro so motorists deserye a reduction a cut iii auto fees is forecast from queens park in toronto so the overtaxed motorist is to get some consideration at long last no one objects to auto taxation for the upkeep of highways traffic officers and other allied services hich are indispensably a part of the provincial highway system but in recent years a largo portion of the entire general revenue has been de rived from the motorist and taxes collected from him have been divert ed for manifold usages the motorist who travels 10000 miles per year pays 30 in taxes to the government through the six per cent gasoline tax in addition most of them pay a minimum fceof 12 for a license multiply that 48 by tho 000000 cars in ontario and it makes an impressive sum another point is that several years ago when the license fees now in force were fixed the small car owner was given a preference through the 7 fee for fourcylinder engines in those days the lowprice car field was largely made up of four cylinder machines today there are no more fours being built and they are disappearing rapdly from the road the small car owner no longer gets any benefit from the 7 fee ontario motorists will eagerly await good new from queens park toronto sept 5 further definite indications that the 24th annual international plowing match and farm machinery demonstra tion to be held at cornwall out from oct 6 to 9 was to be the biggest and best ever were receiv ed this week by j a carroll secretarymanager of the ontario plowmens association in the form of an unprecedented number of applications for exhibition space in the concession area this years tented city as the area is always known stated mr carroll will house the largest and most complete exhibition of farm implements and equipment that has ever been assembled in canada he said that the committee had found it necessary jo revise the ground plan for the tented city so that it could readily bo expand ed to accommodate the many exhi bitors who were applying for space more than 30 industrial and agri cultural organizations had been granted concessions mr carroll stated as well as a great many to concessionaires whose chief concern would be to see that the vast throng of 100000 persons who will attend the match are wellfed in kentucky a man of 2s was fin ed one cent and two hours in jail for hugging a girl in public if the girl did not mind we do not see what the police or courts had to do with it the cows right of way a new legal status has been given to the cow in a judgment delivered by a magistrate at truro nova scotia says the huntingdon gleaner que the magistrate expressed himself as follows a man who does uot stop his car when a herd of cattle is on the road is a menace and a fool he said also that no driver can determiue what a cow la going to do and that the onus is therefore upon the driver to the last statement everyone will agree that one never knows just what the cow will do there have been many accidents happen in this district due to cattle blocking the road at tiirps drivers have been at fault and very often the owners of the cattle have been there is one thing cer tain about this whole matter of cattle on the roads that good farm ers dont allow their cattle roaming the ways and byways true it is that ofttimes cattle break through fences but here the fences are at fault the law is that cattle should be accompanied by a driver when on the public highways more often than not the cattlea are at fault when an accident happens but it is also true that we have many reck less drivers despite the drought of the past two months the first flower show of the newmarket horticultural society held last saturday was re ported as a real success though there was not the keen competition which has prevailed in former years gladioli were predominant in the show and there were many magnifi cent blooms farmers save on these prices i low wagon wood wheel 1 steel wheel truck 1 top buggy nearly new separator
