Mr. Marshall ex­ pressed the very great pleasure it was1 to meet the people and see the exhibition, which ranks well with any of the fairs.

The speaker, remarked that he was es­ pecially interested in the young -farmers, foT on their shoulders Tests the future of agriculture and' Ulis endeavours will be to make con­ ditions better for them. After vis­ iting the different departments- of the fair in company with Mayor Sutherland and W. H. Golding M.P., the minister of agriculture called on William Hortry, who has been con­ fined to his home through illness, and visited his garden of dahlias which he said were the finest he had, seen.

Others are doing “down” while still others are doing them away. Still another class iS simply doing its “sass” making goods. All the methods are to be commended. ******** THE MEANEST OF ALL Blackmailers are the lowest down of all dur offenders against' society. They are snakes in the dark, the poisone^ arrow that flies by day and the pestilence that works in darkness. No- reputation is safe against their insidious machinations1 and no home proof against their moral miasma No life however clean and honorable is safe against their venom. At any cost society must hunt out and hunt down a.n'd punish with her utmost vengeance these foes of all public and private wel­ fare. Decent folks and blackmailers cannot exist .happily on rhe same continent. ******** NOT GOOD BUSINESS Those kidnappers have fallen on evil days. Apart from the meanness of the work, there is the ,dangei’ connected therewith. Every dollar paid out as ransom money will henceforward be mark­ ed s-o that it cannot be put into the channels of trade undetected. This means that' the criminal simply cannot make use of the money should he once secure it. For that reason the dollar has gone out of the business. Further, the means for detecting crime have be- t come so perfect that the kidnapper is practically sure of capture. In any case the offender cannot have a moment in which he is not looking for .destiny to lay its strong hand upon him. The whole universe has become the kidnapper’s devouring enemy. * * * * * * *♦ GOOD NEWS W6 hear it said that we are to have cheaper hydro, hydro so cheap that farmers and housekeepers generally ■cannot afford to do without it. All of which pleases every consumer of -heat and power and every user of light No matter what is said on the other aide of the question, the price of farm electricity is altogether too high. So far electricity costs more for the average farmer than he can get out of it in monetary returns. Meanwhole the precious juice is available. It runs past many a farmer’s gate and is. being wasted from every electric pole. It is simply 'begging to come in on the old farm to light up the farmer’s home, to heat the housewife’s iron and tacook the farmer’s meals and to give timely aid on a hot day to do the fall canning and to do scores of odd but necessary jobs about the farm premises. ******** A FINE INFLUENCE Those addresses of Janies G. Gardiner, Prime Minister of Saskatchewan', are doing no end of good in Ontario. The Prime Minister 'knows what he is talking about. He knows Saskatchewan thoroughly. He knows her soil and people. iHe knows where his province has erred, though he has fche sense that' prevents his being a prophet of gloom. He 'knows t»o, Saskatchewan!’® possibilities. His is not the eye of the theorist' but' the eye of.the man who knows problems as they emerge. He knows about hard times and he un­ derstands from practical experience how difficulties may be met. Best'of all, he sees with unmistakable Clearness that no country can) 'get on that fails to put the morals of its people in the first place.. Along with these characteristics goes a sympathetic understanding of East and West that augurs well for the future. *** ***** LET’S HELP Power to the elbow of all those who are working for the safe driving of autos. There Is real need for such a campaign. For let ■some of us drive as carefully as we will, there is the driver who- is eager to take a destructive chance. In any case we have a suggest­ ion or two that should be considered. First, let the general public get It into its head that reckless driving is a form of criminal in­ sanity, .Further, folk should withhold all approval of the driver who talks about his speedy work on the road. For a long lime it has been the fashion to smile about the driver who does some unusual stunt on the foftd,- all of which is contrary to the public, weal, Instead, the fast driver should be looked upon and spokeh of as we speak of the youth who trips. In the secoud place, every driver, before ho is given a permit should be. required to fur­ nish a satisfactory certificate for public liability and property damage insurance. In the third place, every jay walker should be prosecuted for ah offence against the public safety. NEW TEIA3GRAPH OPERATOR AT WINGHAM Mr. L.
