warm weather be our lot, et is doubtful if the pasture will revive
sufficiently to help out In the milk flow. Farmers know, only
too well, that once the dairy herd slacks off in milk -production
that the restoration, of the milk flow for that season is extreme-
ly. doubtful. To keep the. milk price at the present level it looks,
like compelling many small herdsmen to go out of business, an
event that gives no promise of low milk prices,

GETTING THEM ACROSS
The great pioneering,°'these days, is in the way of ideas. We
have found that- the world is big enough as far as space goes.
We have discovered, too, that what is needed is intensive utse of the
world that already has been discovered.
• .Strangeas it may seem, the last idea that we have evolved
is the certainty that war is about the worst use to which we can
put our property, our skill or our enthusiasm.
Gieat Britain and the United States have conte to the conclu-
sion that mankind's ultimate folly is the stupidity of war. Hence
their effort to banish war from the. earth.
But.all ideas are wrought into the consciousness of men at the
price of labor and sacrifice and disappointment. John Bull and
Uncle Sam are aware of this and are making haste slowly as they
labor in the interest of pease. As Ramsay McDonald is reported
to have said. the other evening. "Great Britain and the United
States are agreed -en this matter. . But. there is the world outside
the Anglo-Saaren. talmily,'! • .. "There are pirates still upon the open
sea and elsewhere. Such scoundrels heed no moral law. They have
no commerce to protect and no just, laws to enforce. Cannon is the
only argument that avails with these freebooters. As society is
now constituted, the judge implies the• policeman. As Lowell said,
The only argument that avails with' an East wind is to put on
your overcoat." •
Next, human nature is. suer that it goes to stay only where
it goes with confidence end prositers only where it remains in con-
fidence. To hurry the nations over the Golden Rule bridge lead-
iing from the land of slaughter to the land of prosperity and con-
structive living is to cause a stampede and to invite disaster. Ian
the matter of world peace, the extremist is the foe of the race. In
this tremendous effort for world peace it remains true that "He
who believeth shall not make haste."

Gentlemen,---•
r am newly landed in Pasadena;
and as I promised am sending some
details.. of *"our trip. Mrs. Wilds,
her sister Mrs. Rose Cumming (nee

and we toured in a Marmon sedan
from Chicago to Pasadena, camping
along the way at nights. A trailer
was attached to''the car to hole our
luggageand various camping equip-
nh.eiht.
Those who may 'be interested in
the thieige and conditions seen en
route, I list state by state the things
that interested me:
Michigan— Good paved ?roads,
black loans, good farm lands, Passed
the Irish Hills in the bus on way to
Chicago • froin. Detroit and saw some
beautiful -small lakes. The land is
mostly flat; farms we passed on the
wily chiefly 'produced potatoes, but
'Michigan ,1101 fertile lama and, there
tore; general farming. Indiana—
Paved roads. Fertile black loam,
mostly flat country, with a few rall-
ing hills. Grain is the chief product
in Indiana at present. Illinois--
Paved roads. Fertile black login
with flat pritirie country. Corn
chief product. Missouri—Paved
roads. Very hilly county and land
is poor in spots, so they raise "tas-
sel" corn and pigs. On the way we
passed two very large Berskshire
pigs, which Were, no doubt, prize
winners, Kansas — Gravel roads,
ehiefly; hilly country; poor farm-
ing lance, mostly yellow and red
clay. Jersey red hogs were much
in evidence. Quite a few fields of
"tassel" corn, and .some small oil
ilelde began to appear in Kansas.
Oklahonih—Gravel anal: red sand
road, mare hills. Mather poor fertile
Inc land.. Herefords cattle, cotton
field's and 'larger oil, fields than. in
! l anr.as, Texas—Paved ' and gravel
' raa q. White clams hilly, and to-
w.;;„. e New' Mexico, seine small
mountains, Cotton in abundance,
many oil fields; some "tassel" corn;
large cattle ranches, desert and
abode huts.
New Mexico—Gravel roads, moun-
tains, desert, some cattle ranches
and 'some cotton fields and is poor
farming country. Arizona—Gravel
and few paved roads. Mountains,
desert. We passed through Phoe-
nix, and saw for the first time of
our trip, orange groves, walnut
groves, dates, figs and many such
fruits. Some cotton fields were
passed. In the afternoon we stopp-
ed in some mountains to admire
some •huge, red rocks, took a. few
snapshots and on the way, saw a
rattler, killed hint and cut off his
rattles. He was four feet long and
and had ten rattles. I am keeping
the rattles as a souvenior. While in
Mese mountains we chanced upon
some "fool's gold." brany people
have taken these stones, thinking
them to contain gold, but they hold
mica., which is a golden substance
in rock. California --Paved roads.
Good farming country when irrigat-
ed. California is, Indeed the most
beautiful of any of the states. we
passed through, We entered from
Yuma, Arizona, and struck desert
for a half day. Then we came into
the Ihnperial Valley, an . irrigated
stretch of land, in one part 200 feet
below sea level. Imperial Valley
supplies California with winter fruits
and vegetables. We have seen palm
trees, pepper trees, eucalyptus trees,
walnut groves, weeping willows and
many others; orange groves, grape
orchards, 1{gs, nuts, ,dates, persim-
Mats, avocados, large peanut fields,
etc. Cattle and sheep are raised
here. Will send more about Cali-
fornia after I'vo' had time to see
more of It. Old Mexico- .We stopp-

COMMI .NICATIQN
Exeter,. October 22, 1929
To. the Editor of the Tinhes-4,dvocate
Dear Editor,—
Permit hoe to .crave a small space
in your valuable paper to discuss an
Issue which I believe is of paramount
importance and which is now before
the electors of this province for •con-
sideration.
Whatever criticism might he Iev-
gilled at a minister for discussing the
question of Liquor Control vs. Pro-
hibition from the pulpit, certainly
no reasonable person ti111 deny him
that right on public platform or
through the public press, Permit me
sir at the outset to say I am only
dealing with this one phase of. , the
election issues, but one which I he-
lieve outweighs all others. Briefly I
wish to make a few !statements which
1 hope you will take the trouble to
print.
The Prime 'Minister of this Province
says;
(1) He Believes in Education as
a
Means to Temperance Living..
We agree. Surely the Minister of
Education ought to know that one of
the first ,principles of pedagogy is
"we learn to do by doing." How I
,ask are the youth of our land to learn
sobriety under a system which has
Increased the consumption of liquor
from the Premier's estimate of
$25,000,000 in 1926 to twice that
at the end of the last fiscal year. He•
now refuses to state the figures for
this year saying he cannot be expect-
ed to know, when in 1926 he assur-
ed the electors that lie would guard
so carefully his control law, that
should any one abuse their privileges
he would know within twenty-four
hours.
(2) A Plebiscite is a Violation of
Brltish Principles and l; ndemo-
eratic.
This surely will be interesting in-
formation to the people of Exete
who twice last year had the matte
of additional school acconimodati
referred to then by a compete
council and hoard of education.
those gentlemen treat us in an u
democratic way? Certainly not. The
opposite is true and, 'Ws autocratic
action in taking this matter out of
the hands of the electors, and mix-
ing it up with a- party election, ought
to be repudiated by intelligent people
and most of all by members. of his
own party whose temperance' prin-
ciples he has so outraged.
(3) Referenda Were Held `by the
Liberals in the Past Without Action.
True the question Was been referr-
ed to the people by the Liberals, but
such action was previous to' 1905.
Since that time this province has
been under Conservative government
continuously with the exception of
.the -four year•. Drury regime. In those
days of long ago the open bar flour-
ished, the automobile industry was in
its infancy, temperance sentiment
was only beginning to make itself
felt. We live in virtually a new
world to -day that demands neW so-
cial standards of living. Moreover
It is not true to say nothing was.
done. It was a Liberal government
who first gave us Local Option peivi-
leges and under that provision many
municipalities voted out the bar. It
was in the days of Sir James Whit-
ney that a three fifth clause was in-
troduced which put the temperance
people at a disadvantage. The O.
T: A. was a war measure that receiv-
ed the hearty endorsation of govern-
ment and opposition, alike. We -can
thank one party as much as another
for it; It was approved of in 1919,
,1921 and 1924. Whenever this
question has been submitted to the
people freed from party entangle-
rent there has always been one re_
sult.
(4) He Will Further Reduce Mo-
tor Licenses.
Let no one be hoodwinked' into
this supposed saving. Let him re-
member that While licenses on small
motors have been reduced $'5.00
public liabilities that last year cost
$16.00, today. cost $23.00, Rather
a false economy brought about large-
ly increased 'motor car accidents due
to intoxicated drivers.
(G) Ile Will Tighten Up on. Drunk-
en Drivers and Abusers of Permits.
Why don't he do it now? Tho
present law provides for it. Mr. Fer-
guson could inspire confidence in a
lot of people if he began now to
tighten up. I personally could name
folk who drive`°ears every week while
intoxicated and who do not own. a
permit either. They have secured
their supply from the bootlegger
whom we are told in 1926 would dis-
appear under government control.
The bootlegger has not vanished,
nor need we expect him to make his
exit by magic- under any legislation.
Tie is not the creation of Prohibition
as many believe hint to me. I know
ex -hotel keepers who told me they
were constantly beseiged by inen who
wanted to sell thein cheap hone
made liquor, and that In the days of
the open bar. Why turn our backs
on a great niovenlent because some
folk set themselves in opposition to
It. Why say that Prohibition Is un-
Christian and has no place in a
christian programme. To say that
We has iho relation to Christialhty is
as foolish as to say that the Old
Testament has no relation to the
Neto. They are inseperately linked
to eiteh other, • "The law is Our
schoolmaster'" says the Apostle
Paul, and let those who say that the
minister should keep silent read
again the. ancient phophets and see
t whether these When feared 'to declare
themselves on - the great issues of
the state.
Now Mr, Editor 1 ant on!), diseuss-
ing this one issue in this coming
election, I 'have nb personal feelings
against the Conservative candidate,
I oppose him, because I differ from
him in his method oY dealing with
the liquor traffic, I am well aware
that good men May differ with me..
But ask the people or Exeter to
weigh this matter carefully before
going to the polls, and I call upon
Christian people in the face of all
the facts, which are available every,
Where, to ask Almighty God to dir-
ect them aright, and if they do I do
not fear the outcome. In the mean -
dine whatever may be the result I
shall carry an easy conscience
and feel that I at least have deliver-
ed my soul, And let me say in con-
clusion that if in the past you have
supported Prohibition and now seem
inclined toward Government .Contror
I.ask you in all sincerity to ask your
self why the change, lost nog
