He prepared his- land well and he is -keeping the cultivator and the 'hoe going,- He was in town the other day for help in the hoeing, As- he (approached the scorners’ seat he was told that ‘he was not offering large enough waiges. The last thing he heard as he- left town was snores- of the- scorners as they slept after reflecting -that they were sure of being fed next winter at the public votes as well as stomachs, -and icordingly. expense. Snorers and scorners- have the politicians know this and act ao- * * ****** A QUEER PEOPLE So the powers that control such matters are thinking- of cut people. We built these roads on borrowed money despite the warnings of men usually well informed. We ran these roads at enormous expense and with a growing financial deficit. And now we are scrapping them, with no profit to ourselves. Meanwhile the builders of these -roads lived on the fattest o'f the land while the rest -of us lived on f-at pork and beans and stale molasses. The men who urged the building -of these structures were spoken of as men of vision. We are a young country, we say. Paddy McGraw says that we are very young. ******** THE WISEST INVESTMENT When the late Sir William Osler was approached by -a number of young doctors in regard to the best investment a young doctor could make of liis firfe-t $50(0', the reply came like a flash, “Invest it in making yourself a better practitioner. The Osiers, be it remembered, iwere a remarkably shrewd family and Sir William was about the most -brilliant' of the family. Hence the attention to be paid to his counsel. The man -who has- a business needs- to feed it and t-o make it better, no matter hiow dif ficult the times. ******** STRANGE We have just heard o-f a young farmer who -has been cleaned) out -of his investments. It seems a “friend’’ approached him tell ing him how he could invest his money to “advantage.” The in vestment iwas made. Recently he 'has. received word, to this effect. “W -regret that we cannot forward our cheque as usual. However, as soon -as- the depression passes we hope to resume our usual pay- ments^ Hoping that the -failure to receive- your cheque as usual will -cause you no inconvenience and promising our best efforts to make you satisfied with you-r investment we remain . . .’’ And this investment was- made since the inky horror of 1929! W&ll, we’ve warned our readers as best we could against strong-armed salesmen who have used “friends” as cats-paws and the gullible are being 'fleeced, particularly have they been fleeced since the depression was “over.” ******** SERIOUS Drouth and the grasshoppers .have wrought untold damage to our western friends and to our American cousins. To the- suffer ers. we -extend our sincerest sympathy. The word in this connection is that on -one front the grasshoppers advanced on a five mile 'front an inch, -thick on -the ground. It is stated that when the hoppers lit on the trees their weight was so great that they actually bent the limbs of -the trees. As- the plague, for it is. no less, siwept on, they deft behind them a leafless desolation. (Gardens and orchards and hay fields and crop land was swept as clean as th,e middle of the road. The abomination of desolation -reigns supreme on many a county where- once bounteous nature blessed the land! with beauty and with plenty. The* horror of such havoc makes its description an impossibility. The resources of .government will be tested to relieve the- situation. Yet this went on in a. land where the gov ernment believed it a necessity .to curtail agricultural production. These be strange times, my masters. ******** Commendable Seed dealers -report that -they have practically- exhausted their supply of seedls for this saason. Everywhere we hear it said that •thrifty people are doing all they possibly can to provide food for next winter. This is as it -should be for the coming winter gives every promise of presenting us- with -something like a food short age. Last winter pinclrd a -good many in regarid! to- food supply. Families that never thought -of such a thing before, did a good deal of self-rationing and had no -regrets as spring approached for so do ing. Just now gardens are away below the average in respect to growth. Folk who do not like to be beaten, in this particular are conserving every drop of water that their vegetables may advan tage by their so doing. Strange to say, western Ontario is suffering acutely in this respect, much to the eye-opening surprise of a. great many who talk easily about our -being sure of an overflowing field abu-ndiance. It must be remembered that last fall witnessed a shortage in this respect.. Present indications are that the 'falling off will be more marked this season. The utmost -farmers and gardeners can do in the productive line*will hardly meet the situation.' i Huron County Council such shape that he can lay on them at a moment’s no- A resolution from the Board of Police Trustees of the village of Zu rich asked endorsation of the coun cil of a recommendation to the pro vincial government that the road be tween No. 4 Highway and the Blue Water Highway between Hensail and St. Joseph be taken over as a govern ment road to form a connecting link.
