land tile all sizes s w hastings farmers purchasing power rises in ontario mail and empire the depression is largely over for the farmers of this province if one may rely on statistics compiled by the canadian countryman in two recent issues and published in pamphlet form under the title pur chasing power of farm people in ontario it is estimated that the cash returns of farmers were in millions of dollars approximately 1s2 in 1935 161 in 1934 145 in 1933 131 in 1932 169 in 1931 237 in 930 and 267 in 1929 but this is not the whole of the story the costs of production in agricul ture have fallen the things farmers buy have generally speaking come down in in price by using index ilgures of the things bought by ontario farmers the canadian countryman finds that their real purchasing power as a whole in 1935 was 12 per cent greater than in 1934 24 per cent greater than in 1933 44 per cent greater than in 1932 19 per cent greater than in 1931 only five per cent less than in 1930 and only 12 per cent less than in 1929 it the value of such crops as wheat beane potatoes and sugar beets that are sold for cash is added to the cash returns of ontario agriculture esti mated as above it means that the purchasing power of farmers as a whole in this province in 1935 was 14 per cent greater than in 1934 20 per cent greater than in 1933 42 per cent greater than in 1932 21 per cent greater than in 1931 only four per cent less than in 1930 and only 15 per cent less than in 1929 the canadian countryman fur ther points out that agriculture in ontario in 1935 made a much better showing compared with 1934 and 1929 than canadian agriculture as a whole and agriculture in the prairie provinces this was because o the advance in the value of live stock and its products and because albout 75 per cent of the revenue of farmers in ontario is derived from the sale of live stock and live stock products moreover interest rates have been reduced so that money costs farmers less than it did a few- years ago and a very large number of farmers have ibenefited from a re duction in the principal of their mortgages proof of their improved position is to be found in their greatly increased purchases

whitby and we presume elsewhere are beginning to see a reduction in the number attending service particularly in the evening and various moves have been made to meet this situation lu whitby for a number of years the union of congregations has been tried and with a certain measure of success but the ministerial associa tion having come to the conclusion that these services have proved an excuse for many people to stay away have decided that but one community service will be held this year and it will be in the town park where citizens of every religious denomination can take part this serious curtailment of the community services is regrettable but on the other hand from our personal knowledge we believe that there is a gteat deal of truth in the contention of the ministerial associ ation we have seen three congre gations merged for one service with not more than two hundred in attendance commenting upon this subject of church attendance in the summer months our esteemed contemporary the pickering news lias this to say in its last issue it will he noticed however that those who are attending are those who have reached rather mature years and who have been in the habit of going twice daily all their lives those who are inclined to do sonle thinking on the matter are viewing with alarm the apparent indifference shown by altogether too many in this duty of attending divine worship all agree that the problems of today national and otherwise would be quickly solved by a practice of the principles up held by the christian church there is not a man woman or child today can claim an indifferent attitude to world conditions and affairs and whose general welfare would not be improved by a correction in many of the practices of today it therefore behooves everyone to support the only instrument making any serious attempt to reveal the necessity of a correction the church rev hugh g crozier on sunday evening last acknowledge this period of transi tion through which we are passing and expressed his belief that one of the possible developments would be the creation of a oneservice sabbath we rather regretted hearing from the pulpit the statement that such should possibly come about and trust that the clergy will continue to up hold the practice ot the observance of the whole of the seventh day and not shut down at noon declar ing for the balance of the day whoopee the inevitahle result with many who could see no further obligation for that day mr crozier also asked those favoring the re taining of the old practice to be tolerant and not insist that all agree with them observing no doubt the fact that we are in a period of transition fortunately this period had not ibecome operative when our foreign missionaries left for the foreign lands union of canada and us urged to bring prosperity the w h shaw store phone itll sfcxurrtm omurlo store open tuesday thursday and saturday evenings i8iffi3t3ttttri the christian science monitor washington may 27 repre sentative william i sirovich d of new york today turned his atten tion from problems of drama and microphone to world affairs he in troduced a resolution calling for a special congressional committee to investigate the practicability of a union between the united states and canada as a means ot ending the economic depression questioned regarding his resolu tion mr sirovich explained that after exhaustive research in amerl can economic history he had dis covered that every previous econom ic depression has ended with the pushing orward of the national frontiers after making his discovery he took a trip through canada last summer where he observed millions of acres of untitled soil and tho vast undeveloped resources of that country and came to the conclusion that there lay the practical solution to tho economic distress in his own land ho sees the problem as ono for cooperation for a common good ho would solve american unemploy ment and develop canada at the same time he said that ho had not discussed the idea with any cana dian but saw no reason why canada should object to an arrange ment so advantageous for it as well as for tho united states no connection is seen in informed quarters here between the sirovich resolution and president roosevelts projected visit to canada next sum mer queens park arena by tho watchman toronto june 4th the important element of sportsmanship in politics seems to have been overlooked these days by men who should know better if one wishes to be a partisan there is nothing bad enough that can be said about those who are in the political spotlight according to tho conservatives or at least many of them premier hepburn is a rogue a mau without a single de cent trait a deceitful arrogant individual who is doing everything except steal provincial funds for his owu pocket and many liberals look upon former premier henry in pretty much the same way no doubt earl rowe the newlyelected leader of the conservative party in ontario will find himself maligned in a hundred different ways before very long because a man happens to be a conservative or a liberal that is not in itself a sin against society but if we are to believe supporters of either party the citizens who wear the opposite political stripe are not good canadians particularly if the other faction happens to be in power criticism is to be expected and welcomed but it should be legitimate criticism based on the policies and actions of the reigning government many people forget that under a democratic system the majority rules can a charge of hav- truly levelled at the majority of citizens who placed the hepburn government in power it is a re flection on the intelligence of a great body of men and women in this province as has been said be fore in this column the hepburn government is open tocriticism for its acts as a government but not as individuals a halt should be called to this calling of names last week the conservatives of ontario met in convention at toron to one ot the speeches made on the afternoon ot the balloting was that of james lyons former member for sault ste marie who was a mem her of the ferguson cabinet hold ing the portfolio of lands and forests mr lyons made a good speech and he attacked the hepburn government vigorously but he left a bad taste in the mouths of many listeners when he described the ontario premier as an ordinary damn fool this was going too far even for a political convention mr lyons could have achieved just as much effect by damning the policies of the government without resorting to such language after all premier hepburn received a mandate from a majority of the voters of ontario he is the leader of the government and is entitled to some considera tion even from the hands of his political enemies mr lyons did not raise his own stock when he said mr hepburn was an ordinary damn ifool by making this charge he cast a doubt on the intelligence and good common sense of the men and women who elect governments not all the blame goes to the conservatives liberals must should or some of the responsibility as well there has been a tendency in recent years to assail those sitting in the seats of government with all the abuse that can be hurled at them once a man reaches the heights of political ambition he immediately becomes fair game for the throwers of dirt who like jackals wish to tear him down in a democracy such as canadians enjoy there is not wide opportunity for dishonest and cor rupt men to secure positions of authority but the remedy is always at hand in the main however the peoplo of ontario know what they are doing men in political life are not crooks neither are they ordinary damn fools goodwood advertising ibrlngs results keep your name before the public
