amount of power to got the thing in motion and a substantial foundation all along the route to maintain it without any sag the accomplishment was viewed as some thing spectacular and was photo graphed several times by the king ston whigstandard showing the operations at different points on page two we publish a letter that will not meet with the approval of the farmers and it doesnt meet with our idea of things either the writer suggests that old dobbin do the farm hauling this winter in the interest of saving gasoline our idea is that too many other agencies using gasoline that should beeut off before the farmer such as useless delivery of bread delivery by depart mental city stores by direct truck to get business from the local dealers joy riding and still other burners of the fuel the farmers live long distances from town and have to travel miles every time they have business to do imagine the feeling of a farmer bucking the cold to drive old dobbin to town only to see townspeople sprinting around in their cars driving cars to toronto when there is good bus service and all the rest of it no mr gasless the farmer is not the man to start on then after all this fussing we read in a reliable us journal that there is really no gasoline shortage but a lack of haulage facilities which could be overcome if all the idle tank cars in the u s were put to work and so we can safely leave it all in the hands of the government who if they really want to cut down on gasoline can do so by the slmplo method of limiting the sale as has now bepn done visitors from victoria ba interesting visitor in town this week was mr sid cockswortli of victoria bc who made a hurried call at the home of his sister mrs k g tarr obrien ave since the war has put holland bulbs out of busi ness victoria is seizing the trade and mr cocksworth will produce a hun dred thousand for his wholesale trade he tells us these bulbs grown at the coast are the equal to any holland bulbs produced but the dutchman readily gets the market when war is not on because of low labor costs in europe enahling them to undersell canadian growers corn and the moonlight corn roast season is on for the younger folks and in true fashion they all start after dark it is be cause it gets dark so early these evenings or that darkness and the moon add more romance to the scene or is it because the corn is more readily obtainable after dark and while on the subject of corn roasts can anyone explain why its a roast when the succulent ears are boiled qoitq buses leave leave stouffvnjue to toronto fi a 615 am d
