The time we are passing through^ When millions of men work, Hungry and penniless I’ve read of thousands men, Going front city to,city; In quest of aid from their Govern­ ment, Such things deserve much pity. With hard times we’re having „ battle, Are we going to win out? In there anything that we can do? To bring good times about. ’Tis true our present state of affairs Has surely got to change: Certain customs and conditions, Are acting very strange. In time of great depression, All values should’he fair; And all things priced accordingly, 'T.would prove helpful everywhere The Government should do its best, Certain things it cannot do; Existing world-wide conditions Are the rulers it is true. are tog. of out of » ii jobless a Some have asked "What’s making hard times?” "Does anyone really know?” "What makes business so dull and flat?” Things are moving very slow. Many reasons, may be given, .Such may be right or wrong; But there is some cause or other, For bringing hard times along.. The present great depression, Has exceeded all my dreams; •But my answers for it’s coming is, "We’ve been going to extremes?” We’ve been making goods ‘ too quickly, We’ve exceeded the demand; Many people have no money now, To buy things, I understand. Many'-cities are overcrowded, In my consideration;' More folks should live upon the land T.would be best foi' any nation. ’Tis well to live in a city, (Should you have a situation; And you are’satisfactory paid, For your work or occupation. The cities were built by man, some say, The land was created by God; Mankind started in a garden Among fruit trees there they trod. I’ve travelled in many countries, Many things I could. relate; With city life I’m well acquainted, I’ve lived on a farm I’ll state. The cities are the business centres, Which no nation could do without But without the farming districts No city could well make out. ‘Tis tile country that feeds the city, To this all will agree; And in time of great depression, At farming more folks should be. Like others I am given to think Mankind has pushed ahead; Though we have hard times and trouble now And many are seeking bread. We’re living in an inventive age, We've every kind of machine; Some are run by electricty, -Some by oil or gasoline. We’ve electric lights and telephones, Autos and aeroplanes; We have motor trucks and steam ships, Radios and railroad trains. But human life is not ’based on these, We must have food to eat; Wo must choose health ahead of wealth Otherwise, ourselves we cheat. The land is the Anytime and He who rightly For his work base of human life, every way; cultivates it, it will repay. Poor people will find gardening, Quite a helpful vocation; During hard times we must till the soil ’Twill prove a great salvation. People can’t thrive ill great cities, If they have no work to do; The country it will feed them, If they’ll work the land ’tis true. Best wishes to all my readers, -Success to you every way; May the unemployed soon find work And good times return to stay.

Drury his uncalled for pay earned when he was Prime Minister of Ontario. He^made'a mistake- in not taking what wag legitimately his when it was due him. There’s no doubt about that. The overpaying of members of parliament is quite another matter. We’ll be surprised if Mr. Drury had not many a bad half hour before he made application for the cheque recently forwarded him by the parliament of Ontario. Public ser­ vice on the part of honest men rarely proves to be tne way either to riches or to peace of mind. HIDEOUS Tne root causes of wars generally are obscure. In the case of the Avar between China and Japan the cause is, however, quite olbv-ious. That cause is- greed, Greed shown in two ways. There is the greed of the munition manufacturers who must have money, let whose veins may be 'bled and let what homes may be deslocated. Second, there is the greed of Japan, Japan declares that she must have more territory, let whomsoever may lose territory. The mili­ tary party in Japan has been getting conceity lately, Japan knoAVs very Avell that the great powers'ai^ sIo-av to interfere Avith her plans. She knoAV that the machinery for opposing her ambitions is cumber­ some-. Sihe discreetly counts -on the pisues and quarrels and jeal­ ousies of the other nations, knoAving very well that these are suf­ ficient to keep her safe Avhile she attains her objective. Further, while the, other powers have been idealists, Japan has been defin­ itely practical. The Avhole- oriental situation is simply a hideous mess. Peace is not insured by treaties. * «* * * * » m THOUGHTLESS, .SURELY Nobody objects to our members of parliament having a supper, big or little- provided they have their party when they are not tak­ ing the time for their capers out of the time they are paid for by the public for working for the public. Further, no oiie- objects to the cash these people pay for their fun, provided these same people give the necessary and pressing needs of the country their first at­ tention. It breeds a bad spirit when folk are dressed at a cost away beyond all reason and spend money away beyond all reason for luxurious food when thousands of people lack the necessities of life. It’s a thousand pities that men and women, wise and witty i.n so many ways cannot .see that the sort oh thing they are doing ‘ is breeding Bolshevism and opening the door of lawless­ ness. Social practices in connection with the sitting of the house, practices having the sanction of fashion for ages, can well be dis­ pensed with in times like these. We- expect our members of par­ liament to be a 'body of plain business men who do their utmost to give their time and strength to attending to plain, public busi­ ness matters. Parlor gimcracks are grimly out of place just now as far as most of us are concerned. The public welfare, than keeping up with the decrees of Mrs. Gundy and kowtowing to the Jones’ is the plain duty of our public men. Further if the money spent by members of parliament with the milliners and haberdasher­ ies of the capital cities were spent at home the spenders would make better laws and be richer in self-respect.

On Now, what do you Experts are awe inspiring persons who warn December 31, 1931, this investment had increased to $47,060,050, of which 68.1 was invested in govern­ ment and municipal bonds, 2.9 per­ cent in railways, 9.6 per cent, in public utilities, 10,3 per cent, in In­ dus trals, 9.1 per cent, in parochialfir and miscellaneous. Of the net in­ crease during the year, $2,079,3UP was in government bonds, and $522,327 in bonds and debentures of cities, the total increase in these two classes alone being practically 92 per cent, of the total net in­ crease. The value at which the ‘se­ curities were taken into the state­ ment is considerably less than th® value allowed by the Department of Insurance in Ottawa. Mortgage investemnts were in­ creased by $1,585,725 to $43,928,- 706. Of this total, $34,5.12,666 cr 78.57 per cent,, is invested in first mortgages on improved urban pro­ perties, and the balance in farm mortgages. In closing his address* JMr. McCul­ loch said: "It would be rash to ex­ press an opinion as to when we may emerge from the adverse conditions under which the world is laboring, or as to, whether we have definitely passed the worst, but the great re­ sources of this country, 'coupled witii " an industrious population which has now recognized its- difficulties and is steadily facing them, justifies a confident faith in the future, of Canada and I am optimistic enough to hope that we shall see ji general improvement in 1932.” Mich., were recent visitors with.
