A keen temper and a nippy tongue are fine possessions provid­ ed they never get out of place. * # * * * * ♦ * And so the glory of the dandelion has departed! Never mind the sow thistle soon will be on the jab* * * * * * * « • For the month of April of this year -there has been an excess of Canadian imports over exports of $2,818,000. Cheer up. 'The excess in this regard in 1931 was $17,254,000. So you see we are making rapid strides in balancing our trade with the U. S< It we were up to the mark we’d make the balance exact If not in our favor. It can he done, • * *•••*. The Hitlerites have won the election in Germany. That is, unless Germany wakes up, she is one degree nearer serious revol­ ution. It is this way. The average German, like the alleged highminded Canadian, does not take his politics seriously He has been content, so far, to allow those strange people, the politicians, to run the government while he has golfed or played bridge or quietly enjoyed his pipe, Now the easy-going is over. A real menace is staring Germany out of countenance, as it may stare Canada out of countenance. * * * * * * * The tramps announce that they are going to have regular routes through Exeter -and throuft Huron. We announce that our crop of sharp dogs is quite up to the average. Huron is the kindest of counties but it is in sense an act of charity to feed a tramp. To do so is to add to the public danger. We. remind our county officials that they should instruct the police officers to be on the alert. This thing of tramps routing trips through this district simply wll not do. A lititle sharp treatment on the start will cure a distressing evil before it becomes serious. It’s up to the county council, to the individuals of the council, we mean. * * * * . * * * * ENCOURAGING Word comes that the number of small amounts being added to savings accounts is on the increase. Hitherto a man was ashamed to approach his banker unless he had a sum running well up in three figures. He simply kept away and spent his small change in good living. Now, it appears, the old idea of saving one’s pennies in the belief that the dollars would take care of themselves, is commencing to have its proper urge. When the average man and the man who thinks himself a little less than the average man, commence to- take interest and to get down to serious saving and to still more serious investment, times commence to mend, After all the big wigs have might little to do with lasting prosperity. ******** THINK ABOUT THIS We had the opportunity of listening in on a conversation only the other day. The principal speaker was a business man engaged in a number of things that come close to our every day living. One speaker had just commented with a sag wag of his iliead, “The farmer isn’t making a dollar!’’ The business man referred to re­ plied, “You know as well as I can tell you the lines of business we’re interested in. You know, too, that we have three farms. Well, I’m telling you that we’re.doing better with our farms than we are in any other lines engaged in. We kep bookes and we can show you in actual-figures that we’re making a little money on our farms. We do not do a tap of farm work ourselves. We do not sell ourselves our own labor. Yet we’re ahead!'' « ♦ • ♦ * * t» • MAY AS WELL FACE IT We have just heard that one of the big railways has dismissed the section men from thirty of its sections, this action coming sud­ denly, unexpectedly, as far as the men are concerned. This means, of course, the shaking up seriously of a great many homes. The season is'too far on for these men to sequre permanent work with the farmers. Further, it is too late to secure a small lot, to plant a garden or to provide for the winter by securing a cow and few fowl or to make any one of a score or so of the turns that workmen make when put into -a 'tight corner. The situation makes the relief problems all tihe more acute and by a good deal more difficult. For what is going on in the sections of the railroad referred to, is like­ ly to transpire in a thousand other situations, ******** FOR THESE DAYS “Trust ye aye in Providence, , For Providence is kind, And bear ye a’ the ills o’ life Wi’ a calm and tranquil mind. Though worried sail’ on ev’ry han’ H-ae faith—ye’ll surely wrestle through, For each tiny blade 0’ grass hauds its ain drap 0’ dew.’’ We’ve aye been provided for— An’ sae wull we yet. When the hoose is rinnih’ roon’, ”Tis time enough to flit.” - ** ***** * THAT BJLL OF FARE Our big brother, Tom Keith, of the St. Thomas Times-J-ournal has this to say of the .rations of a student of the University of Minnesota, who food bill was lessthan $2 a month. Here is the bill of fare: Oatmeal, 15 cents; apples 25 cents; bread 60 cents; but­ ter, 23 cents; sugar, 20 cents, and vegetables, 40 cents, the total being $1.83. The Times-Journal adds: His life is not as drab as the gourmand or spendthrift would have you imagine He thrives on his meals and apparently enjoys them. Then he is not without some simple pleasures. He attends a dance twice a month or oftener and a movie matinee once a week.- , He has also required a typewriter and a camera with his total ex­ penditure for nine months, irrespective of tuition fees, of $79.00. He has a room in a fire barn in return for the service of closing the doors when the apparatus leaves for duty, and ho cooks his meals in the barn. The story of this student reveals that if a person has the will he will find a way to live on very little and find some little enjoy­ ment as he plods along. The editor continues: Now that is all to the good. But what of the tens Of thou­ sands of students attending Western and Queen’s and ’Varsity who must fail’ daintily and be treated tenderly—very often on borrow­ ed money or on the doodads j>ut up by dad and for which mother toils and scrimps and which the daiiity-fiiigered youth never re­ pays in any shape or form? But while praising this youth let us not forget the Scottish students who fought their way through their Universities on a little oat meal nor the workmen and engineers Who projected and con­ structed the Caledonian canal oh a diet of pease brosO' twenty-one times a week- ”for a rarity” as they hilariously added, $2,00 a month! Why that Would hot suffice scores of Students for ice cream or for candy! $3.00 per week for boardf X’haUs little enough! ”Oh dear me!” as Harry Lauder used to say, “Yes—we’re both feeling fine” Joe Thompson and his wife were glad when Gwen finished Business College and got a good position in the city. But Gwen was the last of the family and the house was pretty lonely. Then they found they could call her on Long Distance telephone for as little as 30 cents. So now, every Fri­ day evening, Gwen waits for their call and the weekly talks make them all. feel better. Long Distance is easy to use, depend­ able, and surprisingly inexpensive. »Low evening rates on station-to-sta- tion calls begin 7.00 p.m. Still lower night rates at 8.30 p.m. SCHEDULE • June 2—-Lucan at Crediton June 3—Hensall at Exeter June 6—Crediton at Hensall June 8—Lucan at Centralia June 10—Exeter at Crediton June 10—Hensall at Lucan June H3-—Lucan at Exeter June 14—Crediton at Centralia June 16—Centralia at Exeter June 17—Lucan’ at Hensall June 20—Exeter at Lucan June 21—-Centralia at Crediton June' 24—Crediton at Exeter June 24—Hensall at Centralia June 27—Exeter at Hensall June 27—Centralia at Lucan.

It would be in­ teresting to know just how far some of the papers travel before they are destroyed. Here is a case where the Times-A-dvocate is read by a-t least four different parties. This inform­ ation arrived in our mail on Monday morning. We are interested to know if any papers travel farther than the one described here, The letter reads, “Here’s a funny thing. I have been regularly reading your paper sent from your office to a lo­ cal subscriber; then sent on to Win­ nipeg; sent back to Cotta.ni to a friend of the Winnipeg man and then handed to me because I came from near Exeter.” The NEW IVORY AND nails like lumber. • Its light weight makes it easy to handle.
