Etta Alma Etherington as delegates to Huron Presbyterial on September Apparently our editorial, noticing the burning of straw on farms, has attracted some notice. One man tells us that we were right when we sug­ gested that probably farmers could find some use for the straw. He tells us that one of the best wheat growers of Hay Township, George O’Brien, about the end of the last, and the beginning of this century had’ so much straw that he could not use it all in his stables but he made his barnyard into the shape of a saucer. Into this hollow yard he scattered his straw as fast as his stock about it out suits. could trample it down. In three or four months he drew pn his farm with splendid re- Tlie strawy manure kept his clay land open and very fertile.

Showing Newton / 4 A little over a year ago, England, to meet a great financial emergency, formed a national rather than a party government. (That emergency was met with a largely satisfactory result. But the National government remains in power and' no responsible person seems eager to have it re-placed by the old party way of doing things. It looks as if we're soon to Iea/n.sense even in the matter 'of gov­ ernment. It’s not the first time- that Britain has led the way to better things. So far, solid achievements have marked the regime <of Britain’s National Government. Against no argument. in this department is afforded by Temperance Study Course which is sponsored by the W. C. T.U. and the O.R.E.C. 'This course is entering upon its fifth campaign which be­ gins in our Sunday .Schools on Oc­ tober 9th continuing every Sunday until November 6tli inclusive. There are five lessons in this course and are for two grades. The" lessons are published in pamphlets and can be had from the Campaign Office, box 30'70, Montreal The price is five cents per copy; twenty five cents per dozen; or one dollar and seventy-five cents pter hundred. They are also published in the following Sunday School papers; The Playmate (Junior grade); The Canadian Girl and Boy, The Chal­ lenge, Young Canada, The Canadian Baptist and The NorJ^hern Messenger • It is very earnestly hoped that the young people in our Sunday -Schools, not only study these lessons but that they write upon the examinations at the close as well. K The National and Provincial or­ ganizations are giving substantial prizes to the winners. The County W.C.T.U.’s are many of’ them pre­ senting a beadtiful bronze shield to the (Sunday -School having the highest” percentage of its enrolment writing upon the examination and many local Unions are also giving prizes. Huron W. C. T. -Union is one of those giving a shield. '» Superintendents of Sunday Schools teachers, parents and all interested in Temperance education are urged to co-operate with those organiza­ tions who are seeking in this way to bring home to our young people the facts concerning alcoholic beverages.

Let no one imagine that the commercial milleniuan has dawned, however. t Things are better, in some financial ways. There is a lot to be done remaining to- be done. DUPLICATION Canada suffers from duplicatiori of workers and of facilities. Farmers who have, horses for power and for transpOta.tlon pur­ poses, insist on having tractors and cars. A country that had abun­ dant railway outfit, insisted upon having this outfit-increased sixty per cent. When this was done the whole organization was imperil­ led by the building of cement highways to accomodate tfuck and car transportation. Municipalities that had the best accommoda­ tion for the care of their poor or unforunate, rushed into an Old Age Pension scheme tliat requires endldss watching lest it become a public scandal. ’’ Any person who has the enterprise and the skill to discover and to invent the means of meeting a public want, soon finds his scheme thwarted, very largely, iby- other's who seek to reap harvest.

That there will be a great many who will be in Want are lag , . „ . is the deadest of certainties. Just the same, we believe that the well-ine-aning folk referred to, should “mind the step.” For-as longzas as there is food to ne had for nothing, there will be a large class who will take, that food and ask for more, meanwhile wailing because the food is not better. In other wdrds, there is a very great likelihood that the well-meaning folk mentioned are building up a meiidicent class, ready for any lawlessness, “Heaven helps those who help themselves,”' We’ve heard that before.
