Once more ^harvest and threshing

more easily after another gamble
with the fickle weathei- man,
Despite the heavy rains during the
growing season which threatened
disaster to the crops similiar to that
of 19‘35 the yield has been fairly sat
isfactory. In the Turtle Mountain
district wheat yielded from >20 to
3b bushels per acre while on the
prairie the yield was somewhat less.
On account of rust Durwin is large
ly grown in this par: of Manitoba.
Ceres and Reward have been grown,
but with less success. There is
much talk of growing Thatcher next
year, owing to its rusts resistant
qualities.
Gardens have been exceptionally
good .and up until October 6th there
were no killing frosts. A heavy
thunder storm on the
a few days of chilly weather
some snow, which soon melted, and
the woods are now beautiful in gold
en, bronze and green tints with
touches of brilliant color.
While we have such an abundance
it is hard to realize that one hundred
miles to the West of us there is little
or nothing—no rain and no matter
what methods ma> be employed
there'ean be growth without mois
ture. It is a terrible fact that sucih
a large area has suffered so ibadiy
from drought, this being the hardest
of several hard years.
Many of these good Saskatchewan ■
people come down to Manitoba to
work in the harvest fields and the
threshing, and a finer class of' men
would be hard to find. Some put |
up hay in the near-by Reserve and
Will winter stock there. There is a

The October meeting of the Cen-

afternoon at the home of Mrs. Geo.

The devotional program was in
charge of Mrs. Margaret Fletcher and
the special thankoffering service pre
pared by Mrs. Hugh Taylor, consist

sive reading, was carried through.
The first chapter of the new study
book “A New ‘Church Faces a New
World,” was given by Mrs. Fred
Stewart. Mrs. McFUlls presided for
the business session. The treasurer
reported one hundred dollars had
been sent in to the Branch Treasur
er and forty-seven dollars was on
hand. Plans were made for the
^packing of a bale of second hand
clothing for shipment next month.
It was decided to dispese with
annual chicken supper this year
ask for a special offering from
members instead. The matter
holding a bazaar was discussed and
it was decided to have a tea and
bazaar sometime in November. Mrs.

(We do not question the wisdom of
these people). Just four years ago
we were hack in good old Huron
County after a long absence and no
ticed may changes. One thing that
impressed us was the fact that some
fine farms had “gone back.” The
land had passed from the original
family and in some way had .deter
iorated. We wonderecl why. We also
noticed that there was considerable
relief and some discontentment as
well as prosperity.
The so-called •‘Wanderer’”
“Adenturer” who came out
left the Eastern plenty of
room and goodness knows they’ve
sent back many millions of dollars.
We might ask the question, “Has^not
the West made the East!”
Truly “Adventure is one of the
sources of progress.” Without the^
spirit of adventure and wanderlust’

with might still have remained clustered
around Mt. Ararat. Ontario would
. still have her magnificent forests
and buffalo would still roam the
prairies! History records that the
, explorer who must necessarily be a
wanderer seldom, if ever, reaped
’ any- benefit from his- explorations.
. It seems from what we read in the
Eastern papers that our Eastern
. friends do not really understand
the problems of the West, where not
only drought but prices, a failure on
, the part of some of our economic
institutions to function properly,
have brought about present condi-
(: tions. The Government has been
slow to meet the situation properly.
It is now seven years since the
drought peril appeared, and it is only
now that the Government is getting
' down to business.

Ontario owes a great deal ot her rich men. These men have
imported valuable live stock that neither communities nor govern

beyond estimation. These moneyed men have donated, enormous
sums to art gallaries, to universities, to hospitals, to parks and
churches that never would have ibeen forthcoming through the or
dinary channels of taxation. In addition, rich men have been the
life-blood of research labratories that have immensely advantaged

men have not only been successful in business thereby giving labor

LET’S [FACE THE FACTS
Healthy minded men regard with horror the slaughter in China.
With even greater .detestation do they note what is going on in
Spain and in Russia. -But they do not rest at this point. They
studj' what lies behind these conditions. They see in the bloodshed
and the brutality results of certain causes,
.For centuries China has refused to make a good use of her
boundless .resources. For her, as things had been so might they
remain. Her eyes were- towards the past. From the past she
sought to draw' her inspiration and her guidance. Along side of
her developed a nation whose eyes were on the present and the
future. Japan saw that her present circumstances were intoler
able. Should those conditions continue shq saw that--ruin was in
evitable. She simply had not sufficient territory to meet the re
quirements of her people Across the sea, in China she saw the
material resources she needed and made up her mind to' get it. For
her the moment seemed ripe for aetion and apparently her reading
of the signs of the times was correct. Without in any way condon
ing her shamelessly immoral methods we acknowledge her skill in
reading the signs of the times.
In Spain and Russia, for many a decade, there existed an utter
disregard of the interests of the common people. As in France for
• centuries, the ordinary followers thought of as beasts of (burden, A
healthy child was regarded as of less value than a horse, Spain

But what of our own land and Of our own times? Think
but one aspect of the situation, the phase of public health,
tramp is found ill or injured he Is taken to- the hospital and mend
ed and healed and sent on his way wfthout a cent being asked of
him. If, on the other hand, a small merchant or farmer or pro
fessional man is found injured .or ill, he must pay‘the uttermost
farthing for bis treatment or be humiliated by being put on the
charity list. If a bawd is taken from the streets she is hospitalized
and sent on her way, the expenses of her treatment being charg
ed to the small farmer and business man and professional man. If
a schobl teacher is injured or ill she must pay by the hose as far as
hospitalization is concerned till her full account is settled. In all
' this no blame is suggested as resting as the door of the doctors or
hospital board who are outstanding for their bearing of other
people’s burdens. Whht we are protesting against is the condition
that Works so milch permanent injury to the self-res.pecting man of
small means but of honest intention. And this is but One aspect of
our present plight.
What is the remedy? .
1 We suggest that [Premier Hepburn take this matter up immed
iately, He has the energy and the means to do so. in every
county town, at least, there should \be a clinic or some such place
where the average •man of whom we have been speaking, should
be able to get his medical aid at a cost within his means. As it is
at present, tor a man to be wsick himself or for serious illness to
invade his family is little short of being crushed under tjie Wheels
of a financial juggernaut, it will not do to say that doctors, as a
rule, should charge less. A little inquiry based on accurate inform
ation will show how utterly foolish any such notion is. Hectors
have far more money on •’their books than they have in the bank.
What We are contending for is that the man oY small nr moderate
means, who is hoeing his own useful row should not he penalized
or ruined by sickness or bodily accidents. He should have at least
as good a chance for healing and for his life as is now enjoyed by
the pauper or the criminal.
