The new district jail at Haileybury is prégtically completed and ready for use, only a few of the furnishings being required to allow of its formal opening. The Province in this case has done itself proud, the new buildâ€" ing being of the most modern type and #uipped in the best fashion. Mr. W. A. Gordon, on a recent visit to Timmins when asked about the type of the new jail, replied that it was eertainly a wellâ€"equipped and attracâ€" tive building. *‘*I have booked my own room there for the winter,‘‘ he said laughingly, adding that it proâ€" mised to be hard on the lawyers, as with so fine and wellâ€"equipped a buildâ€" ing, accused men might not want to pay for counsel to keep them out of so comfortable a jail. The thing to do is hope, not mope. The thing to do is work, not shirk. NEW JAIL AT HAILEYBURY READY AT EARLY DATE. A mean type of sneakâ€"thief is reâ€" ported as operating recently _ at Matheson. During the pass week or two a number of houses at Matheson have been broken into and guns, traps and ammunition stolen. The total loss will runm into several hundreds of dollars. In each case the owner of the house was absent at the time of the burglary and the house all locked up. Apparently the burglar or burâ€" glars had full knowledge of the where abouts of the owners of the places entered. It the burglar happens to make a mistake before the police get him and enter a house where the owâ€" ner happens to be at home, he will likely get a good supply of ammuniâ€" tion presented to him in the legs.

Last week reports came to town in reference to the exeellent results from work on claims of Mr. Dighy Grimâ€" ston in Garrison Township.

VOTE â€"CONSERVATIVE In 1923, for instance, farmers in Norâ€" folk County received an average of only 81%, cents a bushel for, their potatoes, while farmers in Welland County, less Statements of that kind constitute one of the meanest forms of dishonesty. It is probably true that, in the absence of an effective wheat pool, the Liverpool price pretty nearly fixes the domestic price of wheat. But the Liverpool price of hay, or of potatoes, is almost negligible in its effect upon the local prices obtainable for those commodities in Canada. And the reason for the difference is that wheat, besides being a commodity that can be stored indefinitely, has been provided with terminal : facilitiee that enable it to be handled at a minimum of expense, and is carried at the lowest of all freight rates, whereas transportation costs on hay and potatoes substantially protect the proâ€" ducer against surpluses only a hundred miles away! Export Prices that Fail to Govern Home Prices. In attempts to belittle the home market, the argument has,been used over and over again that the prices obtainable in the export market always govern the prices obtainable in the domestic market. From the figures below we prove absolutely that the home market absorbs at the very least 6314% of the produceâ€"not of the Ontario farmerâ€"but of the average Canadian farmer, including the wheat farmer of the West. If we were to leave the Next, the market that is best worth cultivating is always the market that absorbs the largest part of your production.

First and foremost, given a Government that is sympathetic with you, the home market is one that you can absolutely conâ€" trol, at all times, at least against the foreign farmer who would invade it. On the other hand,{the foreign market is one that you may be legislated out of at any moment by the vote of a foreign government that has decided that it wants to give its own farmers an advantage over you!

Did Thunâ€" der Bay farmers, for instance, get $19.64 for their hay in 1923 because it was of such superior quality, or did they get it because of the high cost of bringing $8.98 hay from Huron County, or $10.11 hay from Lambton County? If Liverpool prices governed hay in the way and for the same reasons that they do wheat, Ontario farmers would have to pay shippers: a premium to take their hay away! What‘s Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander. Belittlers of the home market assert that a: tariff on farm products is of no benefit to our farmers. Is the United States tariff on farm products of no benefit to United States farmers? Is it no ‘detriment to Canadian farmers? If a foreign tariff is a detriment to Canadian farmers, why should than fifty miles away, received $1.00 for theirs.

It is true that we export in one form or another about 75 per cent of our entire wheat crop. But the wheat crop, important and all as it is, reâ€" »presents only about oneâ€"fourth of our total annual agricultural production, and it is only when we take into account what beâ€" comes of the other threeâ€"fourths that we can arrive at a true esâ€" Fmate of the value of the home market to the average Canadlan _ _ Here is our calculation. Check up our figures from the Canada Year Book, the official statistical publication issued by the Goyvâ€" ernment. Subject our deductions to the most searching investiâ€" gation : and you will find that if we have erred at all, we have underâ€"estimated, rather than overâ€"estimated the importance of the farmer‘s home market. Western wheat farmer out of it, it could be proved that over 80% of what the Ontario farmer produces is consumed by this home market. apparent A number of the merchants of the Kirkland Lake Camp have recéently adopted a strictly cash basis of doing business.

Isn‘t the plan of those who would build up the home market a vastly better one? A higher tariff will give more workers good jobs in this country. Canadian workmen with good jfibs are the best customers the the Canadiah farmer will ever have. The foreign market is admittedly an important market, but after all what does it consist of? Isn‘t it made up entirely of.town and city dwellersâ€" wageâ€"earnersâ€"who cannot obtain from their own farmers as much food as they require so they must buy from you? Is the city dweller an asset to the Canadian farmer only when he happens to dwell in a foreign city?
