Eaton Co. Ltd., Toronto, had purchased the Grand Champion steer at the auction sale of market classes at the Royla Winter |Fair and had present ed it to the patients of Christie Street with the compliments of the company.

Wise and prudent Christmas shoppers will look over the ad vertisements in this issue and decide to shop at home. . IT SUITS US The Ontario Government has got down to business without any fuss. This is as it should be. These are too serious times for rulers to spend time in bowing and scraping and kowtowing. Be fore now we have read long lists of the favorites of the bigwigs in vited to the seats of the mighty. We confess to no envy of .the ■befeathered and betassled, only jve never were able to see why some folk were given pre-eminence on such occasions while 999 per cent, of us were given the go-by. We saw no reason why some should be decked out in purple and fine linen while the rest of us wore overalls—and paid our taxes and other debts *♦»***»« ( “YOU EERST” Diplomats are nothing if not polite. Witness their conduct at those fine European conferences, For instances someone says, “Japan’s way of .carrying on are not nice. She should be cheeked! “Immediately follows a series of profound obeisances and a fine chorus of “You first, Sir.’’ These good people exemplify a dead lit eralness of the old text about “Diligent in business, in honour .pre ferring one another.” “Let’s start something!” the conferrers say*. “We’ve done that already,” the nible Japs reply and no one,doubts their word. “It’s no in titles nor in rank; It’s no in w'ealth like Lon’on Bank, To purchase peace and rest.”—Burns **$»**♦* AND NOW IT’S FRANCE Just as we had come to believe that France and Britain were joining hands to insure the peace of Europe,, word comes that France is seething with political revolution. It seems that France is never at rest unless she is in a political turmoil. Just now the disturbers are some people who are not satisfied with the republican form of government that has been in fashion in that nation for some time past and who want the monarch}' restored. When the monarchy was overthrown a good many of the royal blood were left with their heads on their shoulders. These same heads have been busy with certain ideas 'that have proven disturbing for the past few weeks. However, the revolutionaries have been caught. Were these lively .persons in Russia we know what would be done with them. A few rifle volleys would have cleared the political air. iHad the plots not been detected IFrance this hour would have been another ISpain and who knows what tricks Hitler and Mussolini would have been up to. «•***»»• AN INTERESTING VISIT Britain lately has been busy fixing things up round about Hong Kong. Merely for display purposes, of course, she has been put ting a few fortifications about that snug little isalnd. It occurred to her just a few days ago to invite some Japanese officers to look at what she has been doing. The wideawake, appraising Japs took in the sights and innocently asked why Britain should take the pains to ihave tihe Japs look the little things over. The British officers replied in the softest .and gentlest tones that the doodads were shown in order that Japan might know some of the arguments Bri tain was ready to advance should Japan take it into her pretty head to nose about Hong Kong. Is better proof required that every gun laid down by Britain during the last few years is to defend peacemakers and the peace keepers? Britain’s militarism is a wholly defensive policy. Britain likes to keep her tootsies squarely and solidly on the solid “earth. Her government is carried on in smoky Old London and not in the New Jerusalem. She has her high ideals >of peace. She hates war. But she realizes her high responsibilities in December 1937. She gives a high place to plow share and pruning hook, but when' the interests of her people make the demand she can use effectively both sword and spear. * .■* * * * « • # A SERIES OF APPROXIMATIONS It is very difficult to be patient these days when international affairs are under consideration. No right-thinking man chndones the treatment of Ethiopia. We hold our heads in shame for hu manity as we contemplate the horrors inflicted on China. Our hears are sick as we think of .Spain in her chamber of -hor rors. We are distressed beyond endurance as we think of what France has escaped by the merest hair’s .breadth. The class disturb ances in America are a nightmare. Yet, let us work for better days and have patience, it is a good deal for the world to have recognized the injustice and the mid- nigiht darkness through which she is passing. T'he better day will arrive not like the hurricane but like the iSpring. International e agreements having in them the elements of permanency arrive thro’ a series of approximations, growing out of enlightened and clari fied conscience, the purified and enlightened conscience of the av erage citizen in the various countries concerned. Every time a wrong -principle is brought to the judgment bar of racial opinion, it is condemned, in part, and by that 'much loses its power. All right- thinking people must iplod on, keeping their ideal eVer before them but doing their sturdy utmost to accomplish the task that reason "and conscience demand of them. The wise sailor does not stay in port because the wind is against him. He taoks this way and that but -keeps his port of entry in mind. “Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; ■ ‘Still achieving, still pursuing— Learn to labouf—and to wait.” FARMERS - - ATTENTION WE REMOVE DEAD HORSES AND CATTLE Call ns for1 prompt service.
