269 itouffville co stouffville ont seldom seen there is something sad about auction sales that is to me at least despite the fact that we live in a neighborhood where such sales seem more plentiful every fall than in any part of ontario i scan the registers in the tribune and am amazed at the selling hundreds of thousands every season all over the auction block when 1 attend a sale i feel sort of blue perhaps the fall weather has something to do with it heavy overcast sky raw air and early darkness but when i stand around the barn of a neighbor and see the accumulation of a lifetime going over the auction block scattered to the four ends of the neighbor hood i have a queer feeling much like you feel when you attend a funeral a few weeks ago mrs josh insisted i go in the house with her and see how i would like to buy a picture hanging in a bed room it was a big heavy frame contained the likeness of the late queen victoria when i said l wouldnt have it she said but i got it for 30c my only thought was there might be 15c worth of kindling in the frame but 1 didnt dare suggest that mrs josh was for salvaging the frame and replacing aunt polly for the old queen 1 turned the frame around and found inscribed on the back given with 50 coupons for com fort soap still i didnt make any comment but i will save that up for some day when i need a defence what did bother me was the farmers daughter sitting there on the edge of the bed in that room she looked forelorn her father had died months ago and the mother was selling out and was bent on a visit to her people back in minnosota the daughter hadnt found a place and her bed had not been sold so she insisted that where she went the bed must go i felt badly and she must have felt much worse out at the barn the stock was knocked off the hay grain even the hand implements the clippers and it seemed every thing in the stable but the cobwebs was up for auction the webs were up all right but not for sale yes it made me sad my old neighbor toiled for years and i recall visiting in that barn when i felt right at liome today it was different i wanted to get away it became 430 folks were pushing out the lane and implements were being dragged olf the place had a sad aspect and it took me a day or two to recover did you ever have that begone feeling at a farm auction that i have attempted to describe if you never had it brother then you havent exper ienced the joys of real home life oh yes i fetched home the old queen shes been washed up and mrs josh has given her a place in the spare bedroom so i didnt get the kindling wood yet if i dont miss my guess somebody will get the extra wood when the day comes to sell out old josh the tribune makes a wonderful christmas gift over half million in new

tax made by eric hardy presi dent of the citizens research institute of canada were denied emphatically by r a stewart of almonte president of the ontario federation of agriculture farmers have little opportunity to dodge taxes the ofa president said since the government gets reports from purchasers of farm products he said sometimes farmers are not good bookkeepers and make the mistake of underestimating their costs so that they pay more taxes than necessary he went on one other factor entered into the farm tax picture mr stewart said farmers have more children and therefore more exemptions than the urban average mr hardy had said that farmers make up 29 per cent of the countrys population but paid only 15 per cent of the nations income tax to this mr stewart declared that farmers would bo happy if net taxable income were divided evenly among occupation groups there is no logical basis for arguing that 29 per cent of the population should provide 29 per cent of the personal income tax he said the institute would make itself more useful by looking into the tragic lack of net income on ontario farms figures provided by the domin ion burea of statistics to provide a yeartoyear comparison of farm income are not suitable for use in estimating farm income mr stewart said the figures mr hardy used for instance were adjusted to take care of increases in value of
