THE WINGIIAM TIMES, JULY 29, 1909 THE BABY CROP. Worth More Than All Other Crops as a National Asset. there's t of of i bink t, come t When you Whn no escaping, the conclusion that the baby crop is worth more to this good country of ours than all the corn, wheat, cotton, beef and poultry prod- ucts ucts put together -worth more in dol- lars and cents. Untimely frosts, the boll weevil, the wheat rust, the green aphis and all the other crop and ani - Every spring the farmers in many mal scourges couldn't work so great a sections of the Provence show their national disaster as a genuine baby public) spirit by turning out in gangs famine. And it is simply appalling to think and spoiling a piece of road. This is done most successfully where stiff, wet clay can be secured from the bottoms of the roadside ditches. If spaded out in large blocks and scattered about carelessly, the sun can be depended on to bake it into a fair sample of adobe, and it oan be guaranteed to make any road impassable for a whole summer. Anyone wishing a wide and capable revenge on a motorist needs only to tamper with hia road map so that when he takes an outing he will en- counter a few stretches of road that have been treated in this manuer. He will do no scorching while within the area of disturbance. The merry sport of bringing roads into this condition is known as doing statute labor. The custom has come down to us from our fathers, to whom road work was a serious business. is order to have roads of any kind they were obliged to make them. To this end they wrought manfully, felled trees, grabbed out stumps; dug ditches, and built corduroys that shook their livers into excellent oondition. Wheth- er they did their shares honestly cannot be known, but it is certain that among their descendants doing road work is largely a farce. Here and there a publio•spirited pathmaster sees to it that necessary work is done, but where such a man can be found he should be appointed road superin. tendent for a township or county. As a rale, however, the pathmaster is a neighborly person who allows the time assessed to be put in by the lame and the halt, and is satisfied if he gets the weeds and thistles cut on hia beat. Valving a day's work at a dollar, enough time is applied in Ontario every year to build at least a thousand miles of the best roads or to put many thousands into a good state of repair. It is doubtful if as many rods are properly treated. In some townships it is found more profitable to commute the statute labor at twenty-five or thirty cents a day and spend the money so colleoted in securing effi;ient work. No farther comment is needed on the value of the services rendered by the ratepayers in such localities. If all the time devoted to statute labor throughout the Province could be commuted at a dollar a day and the money expended wisely, one genera- tion would see all the roads brought to a high state of efficiency without the expenditure of other money. But with the Provincial Government ready to contribute one-third of the expense of building conntry roads and one- third of the coat of necessary machin- ery, there is no excuse for the contin- uation of present conditions. There may be places where statute labor is still useful, but where eofentifio road - making has become a neoeeeity it should be promptly discarded. Only men trained to the •work and under the guidance of an efficient superin- tendent oan build permanent roads. As a method of doing our most -needed public work statute labor has outlived its usefulness. As a joke it ie too ex- pensive to be kept up and should be al- lowed to pass into history. what would happen to our national temperament` if babies were abolished. Our sense of humor would instantly go glimmering, and smiles would become rarer than black hollyhocks. The edu- cation of parents in all them ttlesart of tenderness would go decline, and we would speedily become a nation of ossified hearts and sour faces. Babies are the chief apostles of un- selfish affection. All the world admits that. The mother who has constantly maintained an attitude of unalloyed selfishness toward all the world will go to the depths of self denial and sac- rifice for the helpless child, and men of fiery and autocratic temperament become meek and plastic disciples in schools of patience and restraint where- in their own babies are the teachers and disciplinarians. -Red Book. The mother of a large family fell ill and die& and the attending physician reported that she died of starvation. It was incredible, but he proved it: The woman had to get the dinner, and then spend the next two hours in waiting on the family and getting the children to the table. It was never on record that she got all of them there at the same time, and they came straggling in all the way from potatoes to pie. By the time she had wiped the last face, her own hunger had left her, and she had no desire to eat. Chickens, the doctor said, came running at feed time, but children don't. A hen has a better chance to eat than a mother. - Atchison Globe. The following from Wednesday's Toronto Globe is surely an indication of better times: -Mr. J. H. Bertram, col- lector of customs for the port ofToronto had an exceedingly busy day yesterday, and when the business was concluded the revenue derived had assumed record proportions amounting to $100,351. This was only general business. There were no big items to swell the returns. The biggest returns on any previous day, in a general business way, totalled only $72,000, so that yesterday's record is quite substantial. The gain on the month will probably be $275,000, and the gain for the past six months over last year now amounts to more than cue million dollars. The rural Telephone has come to stay and is winning its way on account of its utility at a small cost and be- cause it opens up desirable avenues of maintaining friendly and frequent intercourse between neighbors and friends. It will not be many years be- fore a home without a telephone will be a rarity. The larger the circuit the' more useful the servioe and we be- lieve the price should be made as low as possible so that this 20th century convenience may be within reach of all. You'll never be sorry for invest- ing in a good Hello! machine. -Clinton New Era. It is expected that the North -Huron Telephone Co. will anon have lines operating in the townships sur- rounding Wingham. No wan is wholly free from sin, but iio many leaser evils are tolerated that a man should hesitate long before becom- ing a dead -beat. Criminals are despised and abhorred, but to the dead -beat all that is coming, as well as the contempt of his fellow -men. There is something at once so mean and so little in taking :advantage of the confidence which comes with friendship that the hand of every man is turned against a deadbeat as *mon as his reputation is well established. The deadbeat may fondly imagine he is Living easy and making money without !ork, and of course he takes no account Sf the confidence he violates and the hardships be inflicts on others. But, fiat aside, he really has a harder time Chan the man who is honest and fair. tde is compelled to move a good deal. and ;ecce of mind is known not. Like other rypea of orooke, he doesn't prosper, and leis finish is more unpleasant than the ginning. --Atchison Glebe. PALE, LANGUID GIRLS Weak Blood During Develop- ment May Easilysit eCause a Lifeof Suffering. A Tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Needed to Build Up the Blood and Give New Strength. At no time in her life does a girl stand in greater need of pure red blood and the strength which it alone can give her, than when she is developing into womanhood. It is then that any inherited tendency to anaemia or eon• sumption needs only the slightest en oouragemont to rapidly develop. This danger is especially threatening to girls who are confined long hours in- dcors, iu stores, offices and factoriea- girls depressed by worry and cares.

Harold Richardson, a son of Vener- able Archdeacon Richardson, of London, Ont., hue invented an armor plate whioh is said to be 25 per cent stronger than German. A six-inch plate of this new material was fired from a distance of 120 feet by a 9.2 gun and, while no impree• Bion was made on the plate, the sheet was shattered into a thousand frag- ments. It is said the British Govern- ment contemplates arming the new Dreadnoughts with this material. Six lives were lost, three persons were probably fatally injured and some 50 were hurt in the wreok of a Wabash passenger train that plunged into the Missouri River 30 miles east of Kansas City.

Toronto, July 27. -City Cattle Mar- ket. -There was rather a light run to- day, and with a good demand for butoher cattle, prioes were from 5o. to 10o, higher. The quality was fair to middling, including a few very good loada, but more of the same class want- ed than were available. Choice picked lots of butcher and medium export, the latter bought up for the Iocal trade, were firm at $5 35 to $5.50; good medium, $4 25 to $4 40; good hatcher cows, $3 85 to $4 25. The etooker trade is quiet, with very little demand, owing in part to in- sufficiency of rain in cattle raising dis- tricts. Sheep were steady at last deolines, bat lambs are quoted about 253. lower. Hogs are still steady at $8 E. o. b , but the market is reported weak, with pros- peote a little lower. The run was 66 loads, consisting of 846 head of cattle, 1,820 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs, 285 calves. While standing on top of a switching Grand Trunk train, Edward Cahoon of 21 Niagara street, Toronto, was thrown to the ground, run over and instantly killed. The accident occurred at the foot of Bathurst street.
