subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment whose to blame for exchange 2 our genial friend and editor of the newmarket ex- express seems to think that the fluctuation of exchange as between canada and the united states is something to take out on the folks in uncle sams country actually they have nothing more to do with the u s dollar selling above par and do not like it any more than canadians who put up the difference not many weeks ago the canadian dollar was a little above the u s dollar if our governments could do anything to keep their two monies at a parity both countries would appreciate it but we must not blame it on the rank and file of people brer west in his editorial com ment last week places the matter in this light the exchange rate against the canadian dollar in the united states may prove to be a boomerang when the an nual migration to the south begins for the winter months a few days ago an item appeared in the press giving the experience of a montrealer whose money was refused by a burlington vt merchant in fact he would not accept it at any rate of discount nor would service stations along the highways the refusal of canadians generally to mak ing purchases from the united states except where neces sary would soon have a salutory effect on that sort of highhandedness gravity system to be preferred our neighboring town of uxbridge is wrestling with the possibility of installing a domestic water system something that most towns of its size enjoy strange as it may seem uxbridge has more miles of water mains than many places its size with a domestic water system still they never enjoyed the use of water from a domestic ser vice the mains are filled with pond water on demand for fires and only at certain hours of the week the fact these mains are laid would eliminate a great deal of the cost of installing a domestic system but the point to decide first of all is the kind of system most places have not this question to settle because they have not the opportunity of putting in a gravity system which is cheaper to maintain than any other kind of system however uxbridge is in this pre ferred position it is believed of being able to locate wells that would lend themselves to a gravity system stouffville with its long experience knows well the value of such a simple water system and because its system is a gravity one is able to turn thousands of dollars every decade from the revenue of the water works to the general account of the town relieving taxation on the people other towns such as ours spend considerable sums of money in pumping charges engineering etc that we turn back to the taxpayers because we have no such ex penses with free pressure water our northern neighbors would do well to examine care fully the possibility of a gravity water supply before em barking on a domestic water system of any nature ontario not potato province f e ellis declares in an article in the family herald that ontario cannot grow potatoes alongside pei and that nature never intended ontario to be in the tuber business we must confess we were startled to read such a statement as we have always been ready to say that on tario potatoes compare with the best produced anywhere only ontario farmers have been outstripped in their meth od of marketing we presume that mr ellis is an authority on this matter and in brief this is his argument nature did not intend that ontario should be a potato growing province neither climate nor soil is particularly well adapted to the crop unless it be in very limited areas the average yield of around 100 bus per acre does not com pare favorably with that of say the maritime provinces neither do ontario potatoes compare favorably in quality with maritime potatoes if we may take market quotations as an index of quality it is an open question however whether the lower quality of the ontario tubers is the fault of the climate or the growers but let us not make the mistake of assuming that potatoes are not a very imporant crop in the industriaj province here are some statistics on that point the aver age crop of the last half dozen years would be in the neigh borhood of 150000 acres producing 15000000 bushels of potatoes this crop would have a market value varying widely from five to twelve million dollars back in the years 1917 to 1921 it was 20 to 25 million dollar crop perhaps a few comparisons will give a clearer idea of the money value of the potato crop first place it alongside fall wheat the great cash crop of ontario farmers the humble spud is valued at onehalf the wheat total the potato crop is live times as valuable as spring wheat just about equals barley and is worth the combined values of peas beans rye buckwheat and husking corn potatoes and corn for the silo have about the same value and here is another comparison all the turnips mangels and sugar beets grown in the province fall a long way below potatoes in market value thrift in the golden wonder of an autumn wood ankledeep in painted leaves silently i stood to watch a small swift squirrel

neutrality col charles a lindberg may be one of the worlds greatest fliers but he might he called one of its worst diplomats his re cent radio speech in which he urged strict neutrality by the united states after enjoying personal protection for both his family and himself under the british and french flags for the past four years will prob ably bring plenty of criticism on his head both in this coun try and in the motherland lindbergh was a world hero 10 years agothe sympathy was all with him when his infant child was brutally slain by a german exconvict but his attitude toward the people of the united states drew cens from the american press when he withdrew from that country to take refuge in a quiet en- lish country home his illtimed acceptance of a nazi military decoration saw further coals of fire heaped on his head now that lindbergh is safely back in the united states he is one of the first to suggest that his country lend no aid to those nations which have offered him shelter and protection during his trying days it would have been much more to the point had lind bergh maintained absolute sil ence at this time he told his radio audience that united states safety does not lie in british security but this was hardly his feeling when he slipped quietly out of new york in 1935 to enjoy the peace and safety of england as the war clo started to gather on the european front lindbergh was only too anxious to return to the country of his birth and now he has sought to install himself as a popular hero by advocating that the united states leave great britain and france to work out their own problems and their own destinj ies the allied nations are now trying to save the helpless women and children from arm ed thugs of the bruno haupt- mann type if col lindbergh valued the protection of france and great britain during time of peace he should be the last to suggest that the united states remain neutral in a time of war he is now in the posi tion where he has irked certain quarters in the united states and great britain and france as well tweed news heads mission canada is to be the empires headquarters for the training of air force fighting pilots premier king
