Ah well, we’re glad that we secured our supply before this shutting down took place. ft * ft ft * ft ft ft There’s something not quite fair about this gasoline tax. Farmers, very properly, are exempted therefrom when the gasoline is used for agricultural purposes. Why should not doctors ~ and others like them, be likewise exempted, as their gasoline is used for the relief of suffering. School teachers should be exempted as they use their gasoline for the educational purposes. Governments take delight in securing their money from the classes who have the least comeback. * * * # * >i< * * THE LONDON TIMES HAS THIS TO SAY • The reports of three expert committees has already pointed out that the whole economic structure of Germany is on the verge of collapse, and -that until drastic steps are taken to restore the shat­ tered fabric of Central Europe tliete is no possibility of any real revival of trade or industry in any portion of the world. The vast tangle of unproductive debt left over from the Wav is. now univer­ sally recognized as the chief factor responsible- for the continuance of the world-wide-industrial depression.To an onlooker it looks as. if the effort “to restore the shat­ tered fabric of -Central Europe” lias been a miserable game of “you’re another” rather than a serious effort.to get some restoring done, ; * * * * * * * * SHE KNOWS Some folk think that when the Queen of Britain makes a visit to one of the industrial exhibits of the realm that her presence amounts to little more than a -social function. Such folk are alto- getrer mistaken. Her Majesty is one of the best practical, house­ keepers in England. ■ If need be she can cook a dinner for any workman within her realm and take a helpful hand at keeping a .workflngman’s home in first class shape. More than that, her opinion is seriously considered when she offers it upon any of the textiles she is invited, to inspect, as was shown, by her comments at the exhibition given in Mrs. Stanley Baldwin's rooms only a short time ago. There is no nobler, as there is no more- womanly woman in all Britain than Queen Mary. Her sovereignty is broad based upon her people’s will. SIS ft ft ft , ft ft ft ft OUR GREATEST ENEMY IS FEAR. The National City Bank of New' York says, “The month of February has 'been another period of disappointing performance by the major industries, which have not shown the seasonal upward movement expected with the approach of Spring.” It has this further to say, speaking of the contraction of bank credit till the latter part of 1931. “Since fear assumed control, 'however, credit contraction has been of a different character, and with different effect upon the situation. . . . the rapid contraction during the last few months has not eased credit hut has tightened it, and has set in motion the vicious circle of liquidation of bank assets and other assets which have affected all markets.” What’s the use of a government offering support to any en­ terprise when it does not balance it’s own budget? Ever think of that ? tioil fair *St WHY NOT? Wliy should not the Exeter Chamber of Commerce in co-opera- with the local fair board, organize a spring seed and industrial to be held in Exeter? Take the matter of seed grain, for an instance. There might be a display of samples of grain that farmers or others have to l*. Each person showing might attach to his exhibit a note well offer. ------ ----------------o - - -------- -- - -indicating how much of the grain shown lie had to offer that would be up to the sample exhibited. . As regards the industrial side, attention would be paid to^such articles as farmers* wives and daughters, yes, and the farmers’ sons, had manufactured during the winter. The Department of Agriculture in Toronto may be depended Upon to- help out in a matter that lies so close to the welfare of this community. It is by efforts of this sort that Britain has fought her way back to her ever-growing place in world supremacy. * ft ft ft ft ft ft ft NOT ORGANIZED SELFISHNESS Let it clearly be seen that the interempire conference to be held this summer at Ottawa is not a gathering to inaugurate or to pro­ mate organized selfishness, True, the great family of nations making up the British Empire are looking well to the ways of the big household. True, each member of that family is seeking to show the best it has to offer and what it is most eager to buy. Truer still, it is that no one of the dominions desires to play the game “heads I win, tails you lose.” Narrowness of that kind spells defeat of everything that is wholesome. ‘Still less is the Empire serving notice on all the rest of the world that she is self-sufficient and unwilling to trade and barter with the other nations of the earth. The Empire is meeting on this epoch-making occasion to dis­ cover* how best the batons utidei' her flag may helpfully co-operate for mutual good and for the promotion of the spiritual ideals dear­ er to the Empire than any trade or icommerce in the world. At the same time the Empire holds opeh the door to other nations to trade with her on equal terms, FOR THE LENTEN FAST SHREDDED VHEAT READY-COOKED THE IDEAL LENTEN FOOD—LIGHT AND NOURISHING Mad* in Canada with Canadian Wheat THE CANADIAN SHREDDED WHEAT COMPANY, HP. V\- & /A THE CAUSES (Speaking of Mr, Cosgrave’s defeat in the recent Irish elections the London Times has this to say: “The defeat of Mr, Cosgrave’s Government may be attributed to several causes. It had been in of fee for' 10 years, and the popu­ lar restlessness which such long tenure provokes was not countered by any devotion to the arts of popularity. Mr, .Cosgrave and his colleagues were severely practical men, who put financial security and economic,.progress in the front of their programme, and de­ manded from the country all the sacrifices necessary to these ends. During recent years the Free State has- been hard hit by ag­ ricultural depression, and the farmers iblamed the Government. Furthermore, unemployment and the stoppage of emigration pro­ duced a large body of young men and women to whom any chance was a promise- of better things, The ex-Unionists as a body have given a considerable increased support to Mr. Cosgrave’s candidates but many of, them still refuse to vate for a Government which has shown as they thought, such tepid toyalty to the Crown. Finally there were ,Mr. de Valera’s premises which included work for all, the abolition of the Oath of Allegiance, the retention of the land annuities, and unscalable tariffs against the world. There was never a period in the history of Canada wnen people need­ ed the information, inspiration and entertainment which the Ch’autau- quo brings. The management of the Canadian Chautauquas, together with the constructive suggestions of leadnig committeemen, have built up a series of programs this year Which is without equal in the history of the Canadian movement. Since all travelling shows have found it impossible to tour Canada, and since the people, due to present 'circum­ stances, have been unable to travel as much as in former years, it is of vital importance that representa­ tive people in the realms of drama, music and entertainment should be brought to the communities of Can­ ada. FOREST TREES FOR REFORESTRATION AND WIND BREAK PLANTING SUPPLIED FREE A great deal of good work has been done and considerable progress has been made during recent years in reforesting waste areas of land in various parts of the Province-. Many farmers have reforested parts of their farms that returned them very little, if any, revenue in the way of SSEESEEEEESS'ESSEEEESHESHESSS crops and pasture. In driving through the Province many farms' can be seen on which valuable wind­ breaks have been established, which add a good deal to the general ap­ pearance of the farmstead as well as serving as a protection for they buildings against high winds-. Reforestation work and Wind Break planting has been made pos­ sible for the farmers of the Province by the free service rendered 'by the Ontario Government Forestry Br. For forest planting 3,500 young trees are- supplied free and for wind­ breaks, 500 supplied free each year. The following varieties are avail­ able for forest planting: Conifers: White Pine, Red Pine, Jack. Pine, Scotch Pine, European Larch, White Spruce, White Ced'ar. • Hardwoods— Walnut, Butternut, Elm, White Ash, Soft Maple, Hardt Maple and Red Oak, For Windbreak planting, White Spruce, Norway Spruce and White Cedar.

For further information and appli­ cation forms for trees, apply to the Hur,on County Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Clinton, Ontario.
