PUZZLING
And now comes the news that Kentucky is burning 200,00o
bushels of inferior blue grass seed, the purpose of the burning be
ing to raise the price of superior blue grass seed.
We wonder if this is not all wrong, as far as price-raising Is
concerned. Obviously the menace to high prices lies in the good
farm products. Good seed is far more likely to be prolific than
inferior seed. Non-prolific seeds and livestock simply are not
wanted. Yet it is the prolific stock that brings about over-production,,
the sterile seed and stock never having that charge brought against
them. These are puzzling times for plain people who try to un
derstand the ways of some rulers.

Twelve hundred children from the poorer parts of London were
entertained at a "banquet” in Guildhall last week by the citizens oi
Hamilton, Ontario. For 41 years the Shaftesbury Society has ar
ranged annually a similiar feast, and for 21 years it lies been the
gift of the society’s Hamilton (Ontario) Auxiliary.—London Times
To this assembly His Majesty sent the following message:
"Please convey to the 1,200 London Children, who are again
enjoying the kind hospitality of friends’in Hamilton, Ontario, the
sincere thanks of the King and Queen for their loyal message or
greetings. Their Majesties hope that they are enjoying their en
tertainment and wish them all a very happy New Year.”
Thus are knit the bonds of Empire! "And now abideth these
three: faith, hope, charity, but the greatest of these is charity.”

PROMISE OF THE SUN
From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Thoreau said that if he were to be taken for an indefinite stay
to another planet, where he would lose all track of time, and then
be suddenly set down in the woods of Concord, he could, tell not
only the month of the year but the day of the month.
The flowers of the Spring, Summer and Autumn almost fceep
time by the calendar. The crops come at their appointed time, yet
today if you walk the fields or go through the woodlands it might
be December, January or February. ‘Only by the place of the sun
or by the procession of the stars can one now tell the seanson. For!
there is no Winter’s pause.
Even now the sun, each morning rising a little more to the
north on the eastern horizon, gives the age old promise that "seen
them there is no Winter’s pause.

PAYING THE PIPER
No matter how worthy the object, no individual or government
is warranted in spendng money before the money is in hand. This
is a simple rule the breaking of which has brought the affairs of the
western provinces into a deplorable financial plight. No matter
what the revenue of those provinces there has been a mad demand,
that the revenue should be overspent. In a real sense the same de
mand was made upon the Dominion government. Not so long ago
men who should have known better said that there was no danger
of any province in Canada issuing more bonds than the financial
state of the province warranted. |So far was this destructive policy
of taking on public debts forwarded that at the time of writing there
is serious suggestion made that the provinces will meet their mone
tary obligations with great difficulty, to express the financial stress
of those provinces as mildly as consistent with the truth. Indeed
one leading man of the Dominion is. suggesting that the Western
provinces throw u^ the sponge of managing their own affairs very
much as Newfoundland has done and give the management of their
affairs to the direction and control of men who know how to carry
on a government. He sees no sense in putting off the evil day.
This seems tq/be what he has in mind as he tries to avert disaster
for those provinces that but so short a. time ago were talked of as
being the dominant financial'provinces of the Dominion.
Nor wfill it do to ask older Canada to assume the debts of those
provinces by allowing those provinces to borrow at their sweet will,
asking older Canada to back their financial obligations. We know
where note-backing and debt-guaranteeing of this sort are sure to
land either a man or a Dominion.
■Every Canadian these days will do well to inform himself as
to the debts the Dominion is assuming.
REDUCED EXAMINATION FEES
Premier George S. Henry, minis
ter of education has announced a re
duction in the scale of 1934 exam
ination fees. Concurrently, the prem
ier issued statistics showing a reduc
tion during the past year of $13,000
in not cost to the province on account
of examinations.
"The minister of education an
nounces that the fees to be charged
candidates in the departmental ex
aminations of 1934 have been reduc
ed from $1.50 per paper to $1 per
paper in the country from $1 to 75c.
in the provisional districts," the an
nouncement said.
"During the past two years the
cost per examination has been great
ly reduced, not only by the policy of
accepting the reports of teachers on
the standing of pupils, but also by
reductions made in the amount paid
to those charged with the conduct of
examination.
"The net cost to the province on
account of all examinations, after
deducting the share of fees received,
in 1931, was $275,953 ; in 1932,
$145,729, and in 1933 it was $100,
096. The amount of fees received
in 1931 was $128,525; 1932, $170,-
796 and 193i3, $157,982.”

“INFORMER” ACTION AT
GODERICH OVER CAR
In an information laid with Magis
trate Reid, Douglas Ross Nairn, bar
rister, claims forfeiture of an auto
mobile won by a Goderich young lady
last October in a Toronto hosiery
company contest. Two executives of
the hosiery company wore this week
fined $100 each for conducting a lot
tery, which resulted in the awarding
of the car to the Goderich girl, but
they have entered an appeal. The
“common informer” has obviously
taken action as his safeguard against
future developments.
The Leader Announces
CHEVROLET
Genera/ Motors -P-S Silver Anniversary
The Revolutionary New
Embodying the Greatest Advances in
Low Priced Car Design Since the
Pioneer Chevrolet Six of 1929
DO YOU remember the famous pioneer
Chevrolet Six of 1929? Now we urge you
to see and drive another revolutionary Chevrolet
—the new Chevrolet for 1934! We have given
it “Knee-Action” front wheels — so that now
you can enjoy a true FLOATING RIDE.
We’ve developed an advanced design of the
famous, proved Chevrolet engine—giving more
power And greater performance with actually
/ess gasoline and oil cost. Chevrolet engineers have
perfected safer, more positive-acting brakes —
and a new, stronger YK-frame. The sturdy,
airstreamed Fisher Bodies are larger and roomier
than ever. And Fisher has designed an improved,
built-in system of quiet No-Draft Ventilation.
Drive the 1934 Chevrolet just once—compare it
—and you’ll never be satisfied with any other car
in its class. Because only Chevrolet—Canada’s
outstanding sales leader—could build one low
priced car with all these great advancements.
