This call of the Federal author-?? ities and of the provincial govern­ ments of Quebec and Ontario to a conference regarding a direct water route to tide water is full of sign- aiificance. What it will menu for Ca­ nadians to ship goods from such porta as Port Aruthur direct to Liverpool or Loudon, no one cap estimate. Yet that such a dream, may become an actuality is within the powers of practical statesmen* The proposed conference is not the project of idle visionaries but it is the sober plan of serious-minded men with a fine record of the getting done of worth-while undertakings. There are difficulties in the way. Uncle Sam will want a finger in the pie. But that astute gentleman must remember that if he makes laws at Washington for the benefit, of his own? Yankee citizens that he has no room for complaints when Jack Canuck does likewise at tawa for Canadians. Sauce for American Eagle is sauce for Canadian Beaver, Montreal may object to the plan, but even Montreal, mighty city and seaport that she is, not even the whole of Quebec still less is she the’ whole of Canada. Quebec has her influence at Ottawa, but her leaders are far too shrewd to defy the rest of the dominion. ’ That ancient pro-' • vince has her big stick, but there is also a big stick west of Lake Su­ perior. While there are difficulties in the way of a .proje'et so mighty, it' is the, business of statesmen to overcome difficulties. Ontario and Manitoba and Saskatchewan must be moving . British Columbia and Alberta are not asleep. Unless Ontario and Mani-, toba display timely enterprise the Pacific will soon claim the major portion of Canadian trade and com­ merce. The handwriting on the wall is already appearing. Locally the situation is of the ut­ most significance. Big business is every day doings its speedy and skil­ ful utmost to^sejze every dollar in sight and to make the hum of In­ dustry within ires. For fault, who seek them diligently and wiser ly. But what must be done by every’ i board of trade in Old Ontario is to The farmers in come of opr coun­ ties hays adopted the slogan for 1929 “Wage War on Weeds." The call to action is timely. Weeds have for- their slogan, “Flog, Flay, Fleece Farmers." So far the weeds under the able generalship of the sow .thistle, have offered the farm­ er’s prosperity most effective battle. Practical men with a flair for figures declare that the weeds annually con­ sume twenty-five per cent, of the av­ erage farmer’s returns. Ip some localities, local mills and elevators have come to the farmer’s assistance by providing large and modernly equipped machinery for the cleaning of the farmer's seed grain.- Some have gone so far as to offer to dean grain that Is to be us-, ed for seed purposes, No. one can< over estimate the value of a public service of this sort. In localities where the service of the power mill are not-to be, had, farmers are securing for their fann­ ing mills the best, sets of screens that modern science and skill can provide. The next step is to pro-; vide the best of seed and then to run the seed through the mill two or even three times till every weed seed is screened, out, that screens can re­ move. Even when this amount of care has been taken with the screens careful farmers are handpicking suf­ ficient seed for the sowing of at least one acre of every grain grown( .on the farm, the produce of this acre to be preserved for seeding pur­ poses. WOOLWORTH STORES RIxAX ARVRRTftOG^ .(Border Cities Star) During this year the F». W. Wool­ worth Company, conducting p'great chain Of retail stores throughout N. America, will spent $3,000,000 on newspaper advertising, Jt is the first time iu the History Of the com­ pany that any such action’ has been takem The ordinary citizen, if he thought oh it at all, doubtless con­ cluded that the company was so well known that advertising on a national scale would simply be a waste of money. The same men who made millions out of pickets and dimes pre the ones who have de­ cided on this expenditure. They are estate business men, careful not to expend money from which a good return cannot be expected. They re­ alize that “It Pays to Advertise" is something more than a catchy title for a stage comedy.«<t« * ♦ t ? MAIN STREET A GRAND PLACE SO YEARS AGO A dally St. Marys One day liist week, a daughter of Mr. J. Fishburn, had her foot bruised while getting off a sleigh on which she had been riding. on Friday night last about eleven o’clock three men entered the dwell­ ing of Mr. Wm, Donnelly, of Us- borne and burglarized and robbed his home of a large sum of money, Yesterday afternoon, while a little daughter of Mr. George May was at­ tempting to get on a sleigh she fell beneath one of the runners ‘and had an arm badly injured. o • One night last week Mr, P.

Mr. B. W. F. Beavers, presi­ dent, spoke of the delight it was to have Mr. Dignan present and pre­ sented with a bouquet of carnations.

Main street may have its faults, a narrow vision and back biting. But after all Main street is a grand old place. What do the youths who grow up in Chi­ cago or New York know of the glor­ ies of life experienced in a small town. The great city in addition makes for supreme selfishness A man lives to himself and for himself. He, does not know nor does he want to know, his apartment neighbor, He may be able to go to the theatre and hear great lectures, but after all h^ lives in a narrow round. Where Main street exists one re­ joices in the happiness and the good luck to his neighbors and sympath­ izes with them in their sorrows and their misfortunes. Maiii street friendships are worth more’ than ajl the acquaintances of Broadway or State Street.
