Judges and economists have been talking things over with wheat buyers -of one kind and another and, inci- dently, they ha Ye been asking a few “big,” farmers what they think of the situation. When these men have asked their questions -in . one big centre they hustle along to another and repeat the. process. They then stop this sort of thing, do some writing that will result in what is called a report then the whole thing will end at 8that point except for the* paying of the bills. All this is bewildering to 'the plain farmer who grows hundred -bdshels of wheat. There’s a nigger in the woodpile some­ where who has a‘ way of gobbling the plain farmer’s profits. Those -?:Wbo can locate ,thi:'s- Ethiopian should do. so before the .time o< rec­ oiling comes.

When Anne married and moved another city, each missed the other greatly. But one thing more than any other has helped keep them close — the telephone. Every Friday evening Anne calls her mother by Long Distance . after 8.30 p.m. when the low night rates are in effect. During the week they both keep memos of topics they wish to discuss. Then there is no time lost . . . and nothing forgotten. What if they are 120 miles apart! The telephone connection is made in about a minute — nearly always while Anne holds the line. Their voices are just aS clear as on local, and the cost, after 8.30 p.m., is only 40 cents. 3IR& - NEIL’BELL’’ * T •’?" V"« ?

ONTARIO STRANGE TIMES As an indication*of the strange times; in which we are living . we quote the words of the Madrid correspondent to the London Times, describing the disappearance of the Spanish monarchy, an institution 15 centuries old. This is worth thinking about: “The breathless rapidity with which a Monarchy 15 centuries old has been swept away with no opposition from such hitherto steadfast forces as the Army and the Church, which, although not a fighting force, has in the past inspired its faithful on many a previous occasion to fly to arms for the Monarchy, is nothing sort of amazing, and leaves observers in Madrid dumbfounded. Even tile principal personages in the drama seefn to move as automatons, and some of their ‘ac­ tions are contradictory. Admiral Aznar’s thick-set figure walking calmly out of the Palace at 5:45 p.m. saying, ‘We are going to es­ tablish rftartial law, which will be welcomed both rtby Reds and Whites,’ gave no hint that just two hours later -Senor Alcala Zam­ ora’s voice, filled with emotion would fee sounding in the ears of liStenev-in to the maiden speech of the first President of the Spanish Republic, from the Home Office. “Iqearn that at 1 o’clodk1 to-day the Royal Family, now oil its way into exile, had mafye no preparations for a hasty departure. Events seem to have precipitated themselves between then and S o’clock. The Queen’s friends were calling at the Palace giving her flowers after luncheon. Then came the collapse.” Oh, would that from my pen would draw, The thoughts I think of thee; That you in truth should surely know Just what you mean to me. The kindest person on the earth, The one who understands; Who cared for me, from day of birth, With tender, loving hands. To every tale of joy or woe You And And lent a kindly ear; told me things I ought to know, calmed my every fear. you are a Wonderful Mother, this"I can truthfully say: That never will there be another, For Whom I’ll earnestly pray. No matter where o’er the earth I roam, O’er the land or on the sea, I’ll always remember Mother and. Home, And all that they mean to me. •Composed for Mother’s Day by J. Ffost. WAITING FOR
