The British West Indies are grow

islands of Montserrat and St. Kitts,
the former famous foir lime juicq,
have reported a good planting but
no expansion of acreage, due to the
.general depression. This newly-re
cognized “land of cotton” within the
British Empire looks forward to big

NARROWs. escape
While Mr, Mitchell Haskett and
his son were taking a load of hay
through a field on his farm last
'week during an electrical storm,
thby were narrowly missed by a
thunder bolt, which passed so close
that it sfunned both Mr. Haskett
and his sop and knocked the team of
horses off their feet. Fortunately no
one was seriously hurt.
It is to be hoped that few of the present- generation are de
pending for theip welfare upon the completion of the route that

SLIGHT INCREASE IN
JUNE UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment for the month end
ing June 30 showed a slightly down
ward tendency, according to a state
ment issued by the Dominion Bur
eau of Statistics, There were 81T,-
972 people employed in 7,994 firms
during the month, This was a de
crease of 3,935 compared with the
previous month.
Gains were reported in '‘services,
construction and transportation,
while manufacturing, as a whole,
logging, mining, communications
and* trade showed contractions. In
some cases the losses were seasonal
in character. ■ i
Some improvement in trend of
unemployment was shown in the
Prairie Provinces. It was unfavor
able in Ontario , and Quebec, while
the general situation in the Mari

THOSE WEEDS
Is it economy for the county and township councils tio allow
the roadsides to continue breeding places for weeds? Why nolt
look up the able-bodied men, yes, and the women, who' will be aid
receiving next winter or whio were aid receiving last winter and
set them at weed cutting? ,“One year’s seeding means seven years’
weeding.” In any, case, can the rural municipalities afford to al
low the roadside weed’s to go uncut? Every 'weed is a public enemy.
• Now that the county has widened so many county roads to an ex

SIMPLY MISCHIEVOUS
Unpatriotic and unbusiness like beyond all power of descrip
tion is the way some of our Canadian papers are dealng with the
Ottawa Conference. What we mean is the assured way some of
them declare that the Conference has -concluded certain aspects of
its work. 'They say in a manner that’ misleads the plain man that
the Conference is granting such- and “S-Ubh conditions. Surely such
writers do not realize how ea-gerly their words 'are hung upon as
farmers and other working people scan their pages for informa
tion. Instead of information some of those writers give their read
ers conjectures, plain^guesses, in other words. Let it b.e said that
conjectures these trying, anxious days are altogether out of order
save as.-conjectures, .labelled as conjectures. To mislead the pub
lic j.ust mow is mischien/ous beyond all telling.
The Conference' will make its decisions kno-wn when these de
cisions are arrived at and not until then. The decisions of the Conference and the guesses of zealous but misinformed correspon
dents are quitb another thing. Newspapers should not allow their
^enterprise to run away with their serious duty to the public. These
are moit times for sensationalism. The. Ottawa Conference is a
business meeting, not a ramp. v
The Imperial Conference at Ottawa is a serious effort on the
part .of the British Empire to put heart into the world.

We have just heard of ithe sort of-man we greatly need for
times like these. This hero, approached a business man asking if
he might dg^a certain job for him. '“And what’s your price?”
was the reply. A figure was named and the merchant answered
“You simply can’t keep me from letting you have that job.” To
work this modern combination of philosopher and Work-seeker went
and a strictly first class job was the result. Before the last touch
had been put ion the bit of well done work the employer offered -a
secpjuL job. The result is that this live wire who refuses'to lie
down as long as he can lift a ’hand or move a foot is as busy as an
old time lamp lighter. Big wages? Not at' all, but he is getting
living wages and a little more. While others are growing about
hard times this worker is paying his way and getting ready for
the zero weather of next winter. While other men are looking
for folk to feed them, folk whose heads are softer than their hearts
this man is resolutely looking up bargains to offer in his line that
folk'Simply cannot refuse to accept. Instead of standing in his
door or roosting in some shady corner, he’s resolutely creating his
own success. Instead of proving himself a general nuisance lie’s
keeping his hand in practice and his digestion sound for the new
good times that‘are coming, building uip. a reputation for hustle
and general efficiency that will stand him in good stead as long
as he lives. If. the jelly-backed whiners and their friends who
will be begging for them next winter will put on a little energy
and really seek for jobs, they” soon find them, provided they do
not tib their noses too high and ask foir wages that simply are not
to be trad. Big business and little business will wrestle through
provided they take a leaf from our hero’s book.

THE NEED
The need just .now is the putting of life and mettle intoi the
•towns and villages.* We used to have pretty good times when
every village had its blacksmith shop and it wagon shop, its bak- .
ery and its two- or three stores, two or three icobiblers, and its little
mill for grinding grain, to say nothing of its millinery and dress
making shop and its tailorshop with other establishments that
' must come td the mind of folk wlio know Anything of the times we
mention. Such places afforded ready market for the farmer’s pro
duce. There were entertainments of one sort and another where
no end of social life and fun and instruction were to the fore.
There’s no use of talking of going back to those old days. The
world is not built that way. Industries simply have fallen out by
the wayside. Advertising and improved means of transportation
have made that impossible. All’ the- same there is something that
we have dropped in our alleged progress that we had better go
back and-pick up for this thing of ouf huddling together in big
centres is not working out satisfactorily.
Here is a case from life that illustrates this very thing,
Two men of the same age and engaged in the same occupation
Were talking about this thing only last week. Be it noted that
ohe of these men carried on in a big city where he aid as jfiuch
hard work in a day as the other did In a week, even if the city
(tad more style and fuss and feathers a considerably bigger bubble
of reputation. Both men are getting towards the sunset. Said
the country man to his friend, “I 'think I have enough to- last me
till I’m through/* Said the other “I’ve just about enough to last
me one month.*’ Both of these men are frugal. Both of them
have lived up to the spending requirements of their respective
communities. But the city has sucked the one may dry, while the
small town has nourished the other. This is worth while thinking
about,
