THURSTON, Editor EDITORIAL IfOTES Each year shows the harbors on the Canadian shores of the Great Lakes building Kreat grain elevators to take care of the evc-n increasing flow of grain from the west. Colling- wood has a .scheme for building a 2, 000,000 bushel elevator at that point, and the plans have been presented to the government and a rate mill like- ly be tal 'n by the people. If we are to retain for Canadian vessels, Can- adian .seamen and Canadian railways the trade that belongs to them, more elevators must be built, otherwise United .States bottoms and United States ports will do the business. * • 4 The recent disasters on the Great Lakes and the loss of life sustained i greatly to be lamented by all. It makes one wonder if the last rush to secure cargoes before winter sets in is really worth the risk. More money is received by the owners of the vess- els for *he cargoes carried, but we cannot value human life in mere doll- ars and cents. The cloeing of navigat- ion by December 1st might eliminate to a great extent the dangers en- countered by sudden storms,, although early storms have also taken a heavy toll in life as thf storm on Novem- ber 9th, 1923. Wp firmly believe that Jt would be better if the navigation season closed two weeks earlier than it (loos at present. X^ ?^ tt KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM We give a recent personal exper- ience of the writer to illustrate how life on the farm is becoming difercnt. We were on a motor trip to visit the t)Id folKS at home. While on our way nearing noon hour, we stopped at the farm of » relative and, with the us- ual ho.spital nature i»f the farmer, we were asked to stop for dinner. Wo were pleased to nccept. It was ex- plained to us that the meal would be n little late owing to the fact the boys wished to he:Hr the final base- ball game fro St. Louis over the radio and didn't wish to lose more time than neces.anry. After an excell- ent dinner, we heard the whole game perfectly â€" the best radio performance we have yet heard. Three sons were there, two with their wives, and the boys were back at the plowing before we got away in the car. â€" Southamp- ton Beacon. M.
