A hint like this should set some people thinking, ♦ • a * * ♦ » ♦ Some merchants have found out that there’s a vast difference between what they “ought” to get for their merchandise and what the public is willing to pay. , ****** * • When the doctors are telling us that there are enough medical men already to attend to the sick, and nurses are assuring us that their profession is already overcrowded and Conferences and Pres­ byteries and bishops are at their wits’ end to secure places for ministers, parents will be well advised to think twice before they set their children apart for professional careers. The simple fact is that only those specially fitted by talent, by aptitude and by manner need look for anything like success in the professions. That is as certain as death. Young people are not expected to see this. It is nonsense for their elders to overlook a condition that is perfectly obvious to everyone who stops to think, ******** Here’s hoping that delegation appointed to wait on the powers at Ottawa with the object of having the farmer’s case well present­ ed at the approaching Economic Conference soon to be held at Ot­ tawa will attain the end they seek. Somehow that farmer’s case rarely is well presented. While politicians have a way, when elec­ tions are on, of saying all manner of pleasant things about the the farmer and his work, the fact remains that the farmer comes in last when his needs should be actively and effectively consider­ ed. For the farmer to be left lamenting at this critical juncture in the economic history of the Empire would be disastrous. As it is, the Canadian farmer is assailed by the gravest of economic difficul­ ties. Let us hope that he soon will find a measure of relief. ******** IT SIMPLY MUST BE DONE There are two things that can’t be done. The present ills of one sort and another simply can’t be cured suddenly or by any one method. The second is that there will not be a time when the wel­ fare of the race will be on an unassailable basis. We know that one of the United States political leaders has been talking about getting the finances of that republic on some such basis. Of course he’s a humbug. However laudable such an ambition may be, unassailable stability simply cannot be realized. No nation, no individual, no business ever will reach the point where it can not and will not be attacked. There is no such a thing as an impregnable fort. There is no business so secure that it cannot be confronted and beaten down. Steel and concrete alike yield to the elements. What remains as the imperative for all humans is that they adjust themselves reasonably and effectively to the demands of the hour. The only way to stay in life’s game or in life’s business is to make progress. The effort to merely hold one’s own is an invita­ tion to assured defeat. No man can make a lock that some other man can’t pick. No man. can -devise a method in politics or originate a social system that some other man cannot and will not supersede. Ways and means are made .for that very purpose. **«**.*« • If good does not come of the various present day conferences of international import the fault will not be Britain’s. At Lausanne she has gone the limit to have the nations of the earth study war no more. Wherever her influence is felt she has done that be­ comes a nation to have- fojk quite forget the debts and ill-will accum­ ulated during the calamitous years of the war and to begin all over again. At Ottawa this month she is willing to leave no plan undis­ cussed whereby the Empire may pull herself together in the inter­ est of all that is constructively beneficial to the race. Never in all her history has she tried harder than she is trying now to stand with everyone who stands right. Britain never inspired confidence as she does this hour. The leaders of the Irish Free State are busy at the old danger­ ous game of twisting the British lion’t tail. Unfortunately for these leaders they have the assistance of some people who are not their friends by any manner of means. Well, the old lion is not a straw-stuffed affair. The Irish Free State is soon to learn that she will do well to do two things—to at­ tend strictly to her own business and leave other people’s business alone. Those folk who are encouraging that state by promise of arms to rise in rebellion are well known and will be attended to grimly but prompty and effectively. SPEEDSTERS CAUSED 881 AUTO ACCIDENTS IN 1931 In Ontario alone, last year, there were more than two motor vehicle accidents per day for every day in the year because men and women drove too fast for traffic or road conditions. There is no guest work about this figure. It is quoted from official records. Mr. J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles, Ontario Department of Highways, speaking about speed on the streets and high­ ways says: “It it most difficult to say what a safe speed is. Tile low restricts Speed oh the highways to 35 miles per hour. Too many motorists ac­ cept this limit as being permissable Under all conditions. Every thought­ ful aild observing person knows that there are times when eVeit five or ten miles an hour is dangerous, safety on the highways is a matter of sane driving judgment and ■con­ stant vigilance.” ZIMMER—ZILER A happy matrimonial event was celebrated recently in St. Boniface R. C. Church, Zurich, when Rev. Father L. W. Power united in Holy Wedlock Mary |L. Ziler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ziler, of the 14th concession Hay Township, and Edward H. Zimmer, of DashwOod.

LOAED TRUCK CRASHED INTO TEAM, OF HORES A truck laden with logs and a team of horses met head-on on a narrow bridge nine miles south of Goderich on the Bayfield road. The farmer William Elliott, pulled his team well over to one side of the | bridge when he realized that the brakes of the truck were retarding the speed as the heavy load ap- poached, but the crash could not be averted. Both horses were thrown heavily, and one, it is feared, fatally injured, The driver of the truck, that of the Goderich Manufacturing Com­ pany, is being prosecuted on two counts. Traffic Officer Lever, who made the test, found the brakes to be defective, he states. 'Reckless driving is the other charge.
