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."

Mrs. Wilds, her sister Mrs. Rose Cumming (nee Schroeder) Mrs. Cunhming's daugh- ter and. son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Stade ,end myself made up the part,' 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.

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.

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 sciously you allow .your party affil- iations. to overrule yothr temperance! principles.
