CLATWORTHY Phone No. 12, GRANTON Our Letter Box CHEST COLDS Exeter Times-Advocate,— Will you allow .a few plain facto to be added to the hog story on your front page of last week? Do the farmers know that out of every sev­ en pigs marketed in Canada, one goes for export and the other six are consumed in Canada. One in every five hogs graded is select ana this one qualifys for export to the British market. At the present time we are only supplying one quarter of the quota we would need to increase our pro­ duction by three hundred per cent. At the present time we consume eighty-five per cent, of our produc­ tion but if we increased that pro­ duction to three hundred per cent., to meet our quota—the queston is, would we still be able to consume eighty-five per cent, of that increas­ ed production? If not? ? Our quota holds for five years to 1937 but our imports from Great Britain are steadily decreasing and does it seem possible that Great Britain will continue to take our exports while we continue to decrease our imports from her. "Why should this hog export bus­ iness hold such advantages for the farmer now? After the Imperial Conference farmers were advised and did go into the hog business but prices went lower and lower for one good reason that our dollars were at a discount of fifteen to twenty per cent, in exchange. The farmers plea that our dollar be put on a par­ ity with the pound sterling was ig­ nored, consequently Denmark had the advantage with her bacon nor only in nearness to the British mar­ ket, but also that her money was on THE TEMPERANCE STUDY j COURSE IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS FOR 1933 Those having the best papers in Huron County Temperance Course ranking among the four highest and which are sent on to Ottawa to the Provincial Examining Committee are as follows in order’ of merit: Senior Grade,— Gordon Greb, Main St., Exetei’ Dorothy Hicks, Centralia United Church Sunday School , Esther McNath, R.

A few large private corporations or packing companies have the whole export business practically in their own hands, The farmer has no con­ trol over his product after it passes into the hand of the packer, and it is certain that if no dividends and profits are forthcoming the packer is not going to be concerned very much about a continued and stable export business in the interests of producer and consumer. Hon. H. H. Stevens, Federal Min­ ister of Agriculture has made some very plain statements charging the packers with deligerately failing to raise prices (to a degree where the producei’ would be getting some re­ turn for his products) of cattle ana hogs—also that competition on tne open stock yards is practically killed by the fact that Abbatoirs have 50 to 60 per cent, of their requirements brought in by truck and are there­ fore in a position to buy at very low prices on the open mar­ ket and because smaller buyers wait for them to set the prices, which they are rfot in a rush to do, know­ ing their yards are already comfort­ ably filled.

TELL fourth robbery The fourth robbery in four weeks i» Goderich, believed by po­ lice to be the work of the same person, was reported from the home of John Hussey.

ARTERY SEVERED BY SKATE Miss Mildred Wilson, nurse-in- training at Alexandra Hospital in Goderich, had) an artery severed in her right tog by the blade of a pass­ ing skater at the rink.. Miss Wilson did not realize she had been struck until she became weak and had to be assisted from the ice. I’M PEELIN’ FINE There ain’t no use in kickin’ friend When things don’t come your way It does* no good to* holler round, And grumble night and day. The thing to do is curb your grief, Cut out your little whine; And when they ask you how you are, Jest say, “I’m feelin’ fine.” There ain’t no man alive but what Is booked to get his slapj There ain’t no man that walks but what From trouble gets his rap. Go mingle with the bunch, old boy, Where all the bright lights shine, And when they ask you how you are Jest say, I’m feelin’ fine.” Yaur heart may jest be bustin, with iSome real or fancied woe; But when you smile the other folks Ain’t really apt to know. The world laughs at heartaches, friend, Be they your own or mine. So when they ask. you how you are, Jest say, I’m feelin’ fine.” WHEN AVE ARE FAR AWAY To Exeter we fondly turn, When we have travelled far away We loved the people whom we knew And back to them we long to Stray. We loved the homes and gardens fair, Where all the finest flowers grew; Tended by women beautiful, The best of mothers e’er we know We loved the streets adorned with trees, Beneath whoso shade we often, sat Reclined upon the grassy .glade, Or passed the hours in idle chat, But we loved best our hunmblo home, In which there lived the best of mothers; With our three sisters lovable, And. also our two brothers. Therefore tonight on Western ranch Our lonely hearts doth fondly turn To Exeter, our own home town. In whom our love doth fiercely burn, ImECCA mwtard poultice Relieves Congestion •—Does Not Blister At first sign ol a cold on the chest apply a Mecca Poultice with the addition of mustard.
