It has- become the fashion lately to decry farming. Now farm

But when all is said and done there is no more interesting pursuit
than agriculture. No job more than farming well done insures
one a competency at three score years and ten. Under the shin
ing sun there is no more honest thing than the land. Under
modern conditions farming is not slavish work. Every stroke of
labor the farmer does is made in his own interest. Like all, others,
he buys and sells on the open market. More than any other worK-
er he has a privilege of arranging his day’s work and of talking a
holiday at his sweet will. Like all others he must take the bitter
with the sweet, but more than other workers he can proceed on the
law of averages.

GRATIFYING
We have just heard of an incident that fills our soul with
measureless satisfaction. The scene was a baseball tournament
A nice, mild dispositioned elderly looking gentleman was an in
terested spectatoi' who was sitting quietly on the ground with his
straw hat on the greensward beside him. Another spectator was a
young man who had been exercising the right lately furnished him
to indulge in beer and wine. The elderly looking gentleman’s'
hat caught his eye, also the toe of his boot and the head gear spun
gaily into the baseball arena. But the fun did not end there.. The
apparently elderly gentleman was on his feet with the agility of a
kitten and placed a handsome kick on the person of the gay young
man with a vigour that made the young man’s teeth chatter. The
youth took a coward’s refuge in flight, only to b« pursued by the
elderly looking gentleman, seized by the scruff of the neck and
brought back to where he had made a fool of himself and to pay
over the price of a new hat and to retreat from the elderly look
ing gentleman's presence as one is required to leave the presence
of royalty and to watch the remainder of the game in an upright
position. Well done, elderly-appearing friend. You are the guide
of youth and the best advocate of temperate habits. Power to
■your shoeleather.
One impulse, from a, boot with a' stiff sole on the end of a
sturdy leg may teach more of decency and of good than all the
sages can. Beer guzzlers and wine bibbers please take notice.

NOW WHAT?
Paul Von Hindenburg has passed to the court of final judg
ment. To say the least he was the friend of Germany, his father-
land that he served so well as soldier and in his later days as
President, He was the idol of the men who fought under him and
the trusted friend and statesman of a. mighty people, As he knew
it, he did his simple duty in the terribly responsible positions that
fell to his lol;.
More than any one other man he maintained the peace of Ger
many. Not he the one to'give way to popular clamor. Not he the
otie to be swayed by by any popular loader however influential.
Rather his it was to hold the helm of state with steady and strong
hand, and liis the eye to see that his mighty office was exercised,
to guide his country to prosperity at home and abroad. Duty do
ing gave him no rest by day or by night. While breath was in his-
body he thought of but one thing, the country he tried to servo
and the world whose, peace he sought to guard.
And what next? Hitler, the showman, whom Hindenburg
trusted so little, has seized everything that he can lay his hands
upon. “I am Germany!” ho virtually announces. What next?
Will the Dictator be sobered by the awe-inspiring issues that con
front him? Wo. scarcely dare so to hope. Nothing that Hitler
ovor has done warrants our looking tn him for sanity. Did we not
believe that the race is not always won by the swift and that vic
tory does not always- perch on the army with the larger battalions,
wo would regard the future with grave misgivings. Meanwhile
the best minds of the world are pxizzled but not confused.

William JI. Golding', 51. 1\ Warns
of Dangers t>t New Marketing: Act.
An army of inspectors may be
turned loose on the Canadian farm

marketing bill passed at the recent
session of the federal parliament,
predicted William Golding, M. P„
for South Huron, at the annual
meeting of the South Huron Prov
incial Liberal Association in Hen
sail on Wednesday of last week.
Mr. Golding outlined at length the
reasons of the Liberals for opposing
the bill.
The meeting of the provincial
riding association in the town hall
was well attended and enthusiastic
The name of the Association was
changed to the Huron Liberal Assoc-
ciation in accordance with the
change in the boundaries and name
of the riding.
Janies Ballantyne the provincial
victor in Huron by a large majority
was given a warm welcome at his
first public appearance since the
election. He spoke out briefly. He
thanked the electors for their hand
some support and voiced his appre
ciation of the work done by the
Progressives.
Beseiged by Applicants
Mr. Ballantyne said that he is be-
seiged by applicants for jobs. There
will he some changes in the road

pointments, but, he said, he will
make recommendations with the
advice of the executive.

Dr. Shaw, Clinton, was named
chairman of the nominating com
mittee for municipal chairmen.
While this committee was consider
ing its report, W. H. Robertson,
Goderich took the place of the
chairman. He called on Mr. Gold
ing.
By-Elections to Tell Tale
Mr. Golding said that Rt. Hon.
M'acKenzie King right up to the mo
ment of the Conservative debacles
in Ontario and Saskatchewan was
confident that Premier Bennett
would call a federal election this
fall. Now, however, the issuance of
writs for five federal by-elections in
Ontario would indicate that the el
ection will be postponed until 193 5.
Mr, Golding, however, said that he
would still not be surprised to >.ee
Mr. Bennett go to the people this
year,
“You can expect anything of Mr.
Bennett comes to the conclusion he
has lost the confidence of the people
and I feel sure that the by-elections
will tell him that,” he said
It had been intimated said Mr.
Golding that the Liberals were play
ing politics in opposing the maket-
ing bill but the reverse is true. In
caucus the Liberals had discusesd
it from every angle and they felt it
would but add to the burdens of
agriculture. One of the main ob
jections is the cost of administra
tion. In the case of hogs, for exam
ple, a board can be set up to regu

government.
%Mr. Golding said that the liber
als" had asked that the bills to be
issued by the central bank be bi
lingual. The government, however,
refused this and insisted on issuing
two sets of bills one in French and
one in English.
The engagement is announced of
