A Chatham newspaper reâ€"published the Detroit newspaper item, adding the comment:â€"*"Wouldn‘t that stick you?" The Highgate Monitor said:â€"*"Yes, by gum, it would." Other newspapers kept up the comment on the item, and passed it along until the original paraâ€" graph with the various comments and wisecracks grew to close to column length. Some newspapers appeared more than once in the resultant jingle that truly went the rounds of the press.

Porcupine Advance:â€"Yes, and they v eggs, too. Ottawa Journal:â€" ? Toronto Globe:â€" ? Kincardine Review:â€" ? Peterborough Examiner:â€" ? Can you keep it going? It is particularly requested, however, that no newspaper should work the quintuplets into this, as that would be overworking the stork. In an interview with The Advance this week Mr. T. B. Ryan, inspector for the Departiment of Welâ€" fare, made the statement that there are three thousand farmers in the North who are unable to earn enough during the summer to keep themâ€" selves and their families supplied with even the bare necessities of life during the winter months. It is a startling fact when given in figures, yet most people in the North knew it all along. Full realization of what it really means is not so generâ€" al, however. It means that 15,000 names are on the rélief rolls in unorganized territory, and these names must remain there indefinitely unless something is done. It means that thousands of good people, most of them honest and independent, must eat the bitter bread of charity, with little hope for the futureâ€"unless some radical change takes place. As The Advance said in a recent issue, the matter is a challenge to the people of Ontario. Mr. Ryan is right, indeed, when he says that the province can not sit back and see these good people starve. Yet neither can Ontario afford to allow these good pioneers to continue in their preâ€" sent miserable and unsatisfactory situation. Sureâ€" ly, something should be done. t# l lt â€" stt «tm it â€"al P P P P AC PP â€"AACâ€" P AP L PAAA P LA PA PP ul CCA ALP L P o. The plight of the settlers in the North is not| much justifi altogether due to the depression. Indeed, in 2| pas the sense the depression has made their situation| supggestions? easier, because it has increased the disposition Of| toâ€"day paid governments to relieve want, as well as tending to make people more ready to accept relief. Mr. Ryan is not clear as to how the settlers managed to exist before relief was general. The answer to that is that some of them never had a real chance to| agvance is get along. Neighbouring towns always had to 1V€ | people of th a certain amount of help to some of the settlers.} aaditional t The provincial police officers in the North, though| woman inju their own pay has never been generous, helped municipalit: many of these people in their aifficulties. So did| pe collectec Crown Lands Agents, Agricultural Representaâ€" expensive k tives and other government employees. S0o did| pared that t church and fraternal organizations and individual| tne finance generosity. Of course there were many who with rare courage and enterprite and at the expense of comfort and feeling managed to exist without| outside assistance. Some of them were able to S€U | that i1 pulpwood from their land and so make the f€W ) ie town m dollars netessary to keep them going. In past years}| tnat is the c there was also a certain amount of roadwork that why the in« brought in the few extra dollars so essential for, jured shoul the pressing needs of these pioneering families.; anq trouble But in recent years both pulpwood and roadwork have failed as sources of revenue. It would have| been much better for both the country and the} L people if there had been more roadwork and less After the direct relief. This was one place where pay for should be a work would have been as cheap as direct relief. The country would have benefitted by the roads| Wendell | and the settlers would have gained by the fact| newspapers that they kept their independence. Despite all this, and thirty it is true that neither roadwork nor pulpwood sales| year ago h are the solution of the problem of the settlers. probable th These things certainly draw away the attention of 85 years ol the pioneer farmers of the North from their real cach man t businessâ€"â€"the building of farms and homes in this| former year claims were inconvenien each claim, ce mm omm = smm fair and jJus town seems tunate indi «WB mt lt GRA V EI Ob Yorrupte Adugner new country Mr. Ryan ed. a Published EÂ¥very Monday and Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher | mayor of Bl ves that with 25 or 30 acres clearâ€"| spatches as invitin the North should be able to supâ€"| tax strike. He claim readers and newspapers Uniteqg Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Yeat it a tTrial;â€" been discovered grow to column they were good port himself and his family. In theory that is true enough, perhaps, but in hard practice there are other angles to the situation. While much of the actual needs of a family may be raised by a farmer on a small plot of cleared land, there is always the need for the odd dollar for clothing and for such articles of food and maintenance that cannot be grown on the farm. While these necessities are purchased by the established farmer from the salr of surplus products, the Northern farmer is not so pleasantly situated. He may be many miles from a market for one thing. For another and more imâ€" portant reason he is handicappedâ€"he usually has not been able to secure the necessary stock reâ€" quired to make him more independent. Under preâ€" sent conditions he will never be able to be in the position. What then is the answer? Is there a way in which the settler may be taken off relief and placed in the way of becoming independent and self supporting? There is. The way is through the landâ€"clearing bonus that has worked so well in the province of Quebec. A landâ€"clearing bonus would not cost the province half what the direct relief costs, yet it would give the settler enough to meet his needs. He would be free to clear and develop his farm. He would be earning his money, and so { would have independence of spirit and the inspirâ€" ation and incentive of renewed courage. There ! would, no doubt, be a few who would not find the | landâ€"clearing. bonus enough to take them to sucâ€" cess, but it would be because they were unfitted for pioneer effort in the North. These people should be moved off the homesteads and away from the North. But the vast majority of settlers would prosper and progress under the bonus as they have done in Quebec. It would mean that each man l would be rewarded in proportion to his effort and lattention. It would mean renewed hope, renewed effort, progress to success for the settlers of the North. ‘1 | ! | 0OE mm mm t If the Government will consult the members for the North, the agricultural representatives, the various other government officials in the North who are in position to know, they will find that the landâ€"clearing bonus for settlers offers the soâ€" lution to the problem of the pioneer farmer in the North. Judgment has been given in the case of a local citizen who sued the town for $500 damages in connection with an accident due to dangerous conâ€" dition of one of the sidewalks of the town. The judgment was for the full amount of the claim and costs. Now that the case is over the question may well be asked:â€""Why was this good citizen forced to sue the town for this money?" That he is a good citizen and a reasonable man is proven by the fact that he asked for so small an amount as $500, while his actual loss in the accident totalled more than that amount. Further than that, he would have settled for less even than the $500 now awarded, had the town been ready to save him the cost and inconvenience of a lawsuit. Anyone who followed the case will agree that the citizen in question was injured through fault of the town, that he was eminently reasonable and fair throughout in his attitude. Then, why should he be compelled to reâ€" sort to the courts to secure anything like fair play? Should the reply be that the town is insured in a company against losses in such accidaents, then it may well be asked why the town does not see that the company pays when a claim is fair and just. It is not so long ago that there was considerable loud talk about the cost to the town of indemnity insurance. The Advance does not believe there was much justification for such talk. But if there were, has the situation been bettered, for all the wild suggestions? Even if it were the case that the town toâ€"day paid less for indemnity insurance than in former years, would that be a real economy if fait claims were refused, or if citizens had to go to the inconvenience, annoyance and expense of suing for each claim, no matter how just it might be? The Advance is greatly mistaken in the spirit of the people of this town if there is any desire to add any additional burden or hardship upon the man or woman injured on the walks or streets of the municipality. Indemnity insurance that can only be collected through the courts appears a very expensive kind at any price. It should be rememâ€" bered that there are people who lack the heart or the finances to sue in such cases, no matter how fair and just their case may be. No saving to the town seems to justify unfair hardship on unforâ€" tunate individuals. But worst of all is the suggesâ€" tion that indemnity insurance toâ€"day is costing the town much more than it ever did before. If that is the case, then surely it is the greater reason why the individual unfortunate enough to be inâ€" jured should not ‘be forced to additional expense and trouble to secure just compensation. that is the case, the why the individual jured should not *b and trouble to sec [ GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER COsST OF TOWN INSURANCE man to makt ‘esent civil war in Spain is over, thers ew crop of "Spanish Prisoners." . of Elora, has been telling the e has at least 78 grandchildren grandchildren, if not more.
