The matter of the agricultural repreâ€" sentative is another place where The Advance disagrees with the writer of the letter, The one representative in this immense area has more work to do than four other Ontario representaâ€" tives.

One settler will receive mote than another with possibilities of fay» At the same time The Advance beâ€" lieves the writer of the letter is wrong on two or three points, though very much rightsin his suggestions for coâ€" cperation. assistance by the governâ€" ment, taking the settlers off relief, orâ€" ganizsd marketing and grading, and other suggestions. The Advance has often referred to the value of the oldâ€" time "bees" an invariable feature of pionser settlement of Old Ontario. What the writer says about possible "influence" in regard to the landâ€" clearing bonus would apply equally to any assistance given by the governâ€" ment. As a matter of fact the writer‘s coâ€"opsration plan really simmers down to a landâ€"clearing bonus after all. The Advance still believes the bonus is the easiest and most practical method to meet the situation. It would have to be: guarded in many ways, but so would any other plan. "From funds now paid out in direct relief the settler should receive fertiâ€" lizer, seed, and the needed equipment to work with. The settler who struggled along and kspt off relief should not be forgotten. Direct relief should be stopped. To help these settlers to enâ€" able them to help themselveés should be our first consideration. "The North requires further additionâ€" al settlers with capital. New blood should be injected. Ssttlers with agriâ€" cultural experience willing to rough it for a while. Farmers from Denâ€" mark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, would make a valuable addition. "No doubt roads are necessary, but is it not a fact that already a great deal has been done, and that we cannot expect paved roads leading to. every little clearing? An honest effort on the part of the settlers will no doubt find its reflection in government supâ€" port and assistance. "Lack of organization amongst the settlers; a number of them not suitâ€" ajle for the North. Direct relief no matter how distributed by a wellâ€" meaning government, but wrong marâ€" ket conditions and whatnot are the cause of all the difficulties. In Reply First the Advance would sincerely thank the writer of the letter for his interest and suggestions. The settlers in the North, The Advance believes, will teel very grateful for the careful conâ€" sidsration given their problems by this Scuthern Ontario farmer. In his letter the gentleman says that he thinks it will require a great deal more than publicity to right the situation. The fact is that with sympathetic and knowledgeful study of the problems, such as this gentleman is giving, pubâ€" licity will certainly help in the solving of the difficulties. "The bringing in of new settlers with capital. "To teach the settler to grow all he can, to sell all he can, to eat all he can, and what he can‘t eat to can. With cthsr words, the art of living. "Road improvements by means of organized effort, establishing mutual ccnfidence between government and settler. "By organization and coâ€"operation the return of prosperity among the settlers in Northern Ontario can be greatly accelerated and ultimately make for better times." Summary "No relief but practical assistance in the form of community clearing, fertiâ€" lizers, seed and tools. "Organized marketing and grading through organization. The pooling of products, not depending too much on the government. "I fully agree with organized marketâ€" ng and grading facilities. A combined effort would solve this. No more plugâ€" ging or facing, but a standard and honâ€" est pack will bring back to these setâ€" tlers the : lost local market so necessary in so far as their living is concerned. "Less hay and oats for the small settler and beginner, more vegetables and fruit (if possible) with earlier cash retuirns. More chickens, more eggs. "Further assistance by appointing more Agricuitural Representatives in the North? Splendid! ‘But when farmâ€" ers in Southern Ontario living within a distance of 10 imiles from the office of the Agricultural representative are still wondering what he looks like, it does not seem sense to appoint any more. The average representative is a busy man, does not have time to give much attention to certain settlements, except where the settlers in need of adâ€" vice write or visit the office. I am ing this with all due respect to the faithful representatives in Ontario. "A few good progressive farmers to take up the slack and proper organizaâ€" tion will do more good than additional representatives. c {\"T ts P dhadheoneor ldstmpiymeando k undoubtedily be wever, may be left k im e l . op 2 o o t Nes e Et _ The following "want advt.," or classiâ€" fied advertisement appeared in local newspapers in Nova Scotia:â€" f FOR SBALEâ€"Max Atwell, 35, Black River, Kings County, Nova Scotia. Discovery of the missing cash box was not made until Tuesday morning, when the clerk opened the vault. He noticed then it was gone and also that the other municipal box in which Mrs. Rena Lockhart, office assistant, keeps her cash, had not been touched. Mr. Harrington said he had noticed nothing amiss during Monday night, During the evening. numerous citizens were in the hall, either on business with the council or engaged upstairs preparing for a play. The public lavatory is loâ€" cated in the same section of the muniâ€" cipal building. Offers Himself to ‘Any Woman Possessing $3,500 The stock certificates, representing interests in different companies, are owned by A. W. Harrington, town clerk, and the numbers were subseâ€" quently wired to the Toronto Stock Exâ€" change, with a view to having brokers notified. In placing their value at more than a thousand dollars, Mr. Harringâ€" ton took Tuesday‘s market quotations as his guide. In addition to the stock, he lost some private papers. The money, which he said included $23 in bills and some silver and copper to a small amount, and the cheques are the proâ€" perty of the municipality. By a coincidence, Cobalt council on Monday night discussed better police protection at night, this after Councillor Duncan had told other members his warehouse had been broken into and some stuff taken. The council chamber adjoins the hall in which the vault is located, the entrance to the former being approximately 30 feet from the safe‘s outer door. The door leading to the council chamber was closed part of the time council was sitting and partly open for the balance of the session, but no clear view of the hall is availâ€" able to members or clerk. The vault itself, according to Mr. Harrington, was open about four hours during the evening, the outer door being closed, but not locked. He came back to his office about seven o‘clock to prepare for the council, at which time he opened the vault, in which he had placed his cash box two hours before. During the session, the clerk had ocâ€" casion to go to the vault twice on busiâ€" ness. By 11 o‘clock, the vault had been locked, and when it was tried during the night by a watchman theâ€"combinaâ€" tion was closed. S Cobalt, Nov.~5.â€"Bslieved to have been taken from the vault in the town hall here while the municipal council sat in regular session a few yards away, a cash box containing a small sum of money, some cheques and other papers, together with certificates for mining stock estimated to have a value of over one thousand dollars, disappeared on Monday evening and police since have been unable to trace its whereabouts. There are practically no clues to the mystery, they said. The stock is neâ€" gotiable. Cobalt Thief Gets Away with Nice Haul Cash Box Taken from Town Hall Maybe While Council in Session.
