SOME FIGURES
Take a long breath and then read this: The President of the
United (States estimates the expenditure of the U. S. for the current
fiscal year to be $6,689,000,000. The revenue for that .period is
set down for $5,919,000,000. About $10,000,000 of this sum goes
for relief.***** ***
NOT INFORMED
Word comes that a relief officer received back from the post
office an envelope sent to a party on his list marked “deceased.”
Shorlty afterwards the officer received an angry telephone call from
the party in question. The officer explained. “But” protested his
interviewer, “You should have telephoned me!”
“I’d have done so,” replied the meek one, “only I did not know
which central to ball up!”

FIGURE THIS OU'T
■ (The Christian Science Monitor)
At a time when all the world is complaining with justice of the
high cost of living, significance attaches to a message found scrib
bled in pencil on a scrap of paper between the leaves of a cauli
flower that was being prepared for the midday meal in a London
worker’s dwelling. The message was: “I got an eighth of a penny
for this. What did you pay for it?” The answer, the London
Spectator, whicih reports the incident, says, was “ISevenpence.” Here
in a nutshell—or in a cauliflower—ds a very1 important portion of
the problem of dear food. ‘Bringing producer and consumer to
gether is part of its solution.

OLD FASHIONED
We’ve just 'been reading the story of a big league baseball -
manager who pulled his club out of a miserable mess in perform
ance and finances. He tells us his secret. He kept his mind on
his players. He saw in the first place that they had the stuff in
them to make 'baseball players. Next, he saw that they got into
shape to play. Next he saw that they played for all that was in
them. He saw to it that -they won games. Every man on the, team
knew every minute that he was alive he was required tu he a
winner. They were not to. iheed .the crowd, nor were they to have
their minds on what was done yesterday nor last night nor on where
they1 were going to spend the evening, but on the game and on noth
ing else. As ;for the manager his mind was on the players. Result?
Every man in the aggregation gets big pay and is as happy as a big
sunflower. While he and his team are pennant winners, they are
bit ■old'-fashioned, of course.

WINTER VAGARIES
As we have been shivering and wishing for the snow to go, it
may soothe >us a bit to remember that Europe .has been having her
troubles with the weather. Mild climate seekers found icicles in
the warmest corners of France. (Snow was found even, on the
Riviera. Ice bound the fountains of Rome, though Mussolini has a
way of making things .hot for everybody. An icebreakers was call
ed in to fix things .up on the lagoon of Venice. Alpine torrents
were frozen stiff. Yes, and snow was found in the crater of Mt.
Vesuvius. Berlin taxpayers are billed with the cost of removing
snow and consequent slush from their streets. Hungary has exper
ienced the coldest spell of 70 years. No doubt the lakes of Kilar-
ney would have been the home of skaters were it not that there is
such an agitation in the Ever-green Isle that the water cannot
freeze.

WINTER FEEDING THE WILD BIRDS
When severe winter weather makes it necessary for game birds
and animals to accept grain at the hands of man, they prefer corn
to anything else, studies at the University of Wisconsin have shown.
The investigations were conducted by A. (S. Hawkins, ®. B- Moore
and Aldo Leopold.
iSo fond are some of the animals of corn that special precautions
have to 'be taken to prevent its waste. 'Squirrels will carry off
whole ears; to prevent this, it is rcommended that the cobs be im
paled on spikes well above the ground level. It is a good idea to
have the grain well off the ground in any case, the investigators
recommend, so that it will be above snow level when the wild
creatures need it most. Just leaving the grain in shock is one
simple and effective way of taking care of the matter.
Wildlife needs but little grain to supplement the natural foods
which the birds and animals find for themselves. One seventh of
an acre df corn is enough for the game population of an average
farm.
During a week of severe winter weather, two pounds of grain
will suffice as supplementary rations for a pheasant or a squirrel.
Prairie chicken and rabbit require only .half this quantity, and Hun
garian partridge somewhat less—about twelve ounces. Quail need
only half a pound of grain per bird per week of hard winter.

IT’S IN THE SPIRIT
Good will, the Prime Minister of France has been telling the
people of France, is what the people of the big round world need
more than anything else if progress is to be made? Like all sens
ible men of his day, this wise man points out, in the language
of the marketplace, we are long on goods and skill and labour and
on raw material but the race is pitifully short on good will. In
this contention lie is backed up by the breaking out of labour dis
putes in which the pot calls the kettle black. An ugly spirit of
class warfare is abroad., and- that in lands where there is plenty for
everybody, Behind the warring factions one suspects the cunning
hand of some Mephistopholes that ever diverts- to ulterior ends the
best efforts of lovers of their kind to have men see .that they are
brothers all. (This ugly spirit fanned by the cry “Who’s graft is
this?” by men who toil not and spin not but live on the credulity
of honest folk who ask for nothing but the leave to toil and serve
leaving the market to determine the remuneration, is the cause oE
the appalling condition now confronting the race. Till this hateful
spirit IS removed, there is no healing of the hurt of humanity. So
cial peace is the need of the hour. There is no doubt but that there
is enough of material goods to go round. ,Aill would believe this
were it hot for the agitator. TJlie Recovery would be a fact, The warm
sun that would heal the open sore of France and the United States
and' the world is mutual confidence; confidence 'between people
and government; confidence between employee anti his fellowwork- ,
er; confidence between governments and the men who are trying so
hard to produce, to merchandise and to manufacture. And there’s
the rub, We know whereof we speak when we say that this good
will will not bless the earth till men trust iGod and keep His com
mandments,
Struck by Hockey Bus
Man in Cutter Killed
Normnn Dillcn, McKillop {TrtlVrtsW
Farmer, Distantly Killed When
Chartered Stratford O.H,A, Team
Crashes Into Him During Storm
Norman Dillon, MoKillop Town

nephew of the man killed, also a
passenger in the cutter, was only
slightly injured. He is held in Sea
forth jail on a drunk charge.
The bus had as passenger® mem
bers of Dave Pinkney’s Stratford in
termediate “A” O.H.A. team, who
were on their way to Clinton to play
an exhibition game. Arthur Lishman
178 Weaver street, Kitchener, was
the driver of the bus.
“I was driving slowly because of.
the storm when I saw a cutter ahead
of me which seemed to be all over
the road. There was no light on it
and I really didn’t know what it
was until I was right near it,” Lish
man said. “The driver jumped to
the left to try to avoid a collision
but apparently the horse jumped at
the 'bus. The horse was badly in
jured but the cutter remained up
right on the road.”
Lishman. said he was driven over
1,500,000 miles and this is the first
time he had ever injured anybody.
A!ccordin)g< to Michael McQuade,
31 Inverness street, Strafford, a pas
senger in the bus, who1 was sitting
near the back, the bus was not tra
veling fast.
“I saw a horse rise up through the
front window, then we stopped. One
man was lying on the road when 1
got out,” he said.
The Dillons were placed in the
bus and rushed to Scott Memorial
Hospital, Seaforth, wihere it was
found that Norman Dillon was al
William Gerby am? James Elder,
two, of the Stratford partyi suffered
facial lacerations when the horse
smashed through the bus windshield
“I was sitting in the front seat
opposite the driver, with Elder,
when I first saw the cutter. The
bus driver tried to do everythinig he
could to miss it, and I thought h®
had until the horse reared u.p and
the glass smashed. We got cut on
the face from the glass,” Gerhy said.
The fatality forced the postpone
ment of the exhibition game -In Clin
ton as police detained, the players
on the 'bus for questioning.

A DREAM
(By S. J. HogartU)
Dedicated to a brother, a country-
bred, nature-loving retired profes
sional with means and energy but
domiciled in a up-storey flat in a
modern apartment house on. a busy
xcity street.
Do You Believe In Dreams
I have a dream—A vacant city lot
chosen for its possibilities and trans
formed—a velvet green hedge-hor’
dered lawn, a vine-draped verandah
to a well-lighted, tree- shaded, one
storied bungalow and onward past
spirea, honeysuckle fragrant lilac
and other common and rare things
to complete your shrubbery group
on to the more private retreat at
the rear. Now please be seated in
the ivy-hung pegoda on one of the
movable seats, or wander leisurely
among the surrounding floral ’beauty
or beyond to the fruit and vegetable
section and gratify your taste with
a dew-damp radish with the smell
of mother earth still upon it and if
not that, what o what will you?
Coming back again still leisurely
you see the lily-padded sedge-grown
pool, quiet and still except for a few
parent frogs and their nuemerous
family of pudgy tadpoles waggling
their erratic way to gasp the vital
izing air above. You observe also
the wee house tenanted by a tiny but
busy pair of feathered happiness
and the bath where the sylvan song
sters refresh themselves. And do not
overlook the pair of shears and the
hoe, the shears to check some way
ward branch that strayjs athwart
your plan, the hoe to—-What is a hoe
for anyway-
Soar on Sweet Fancy, soar whither
thou wilt for the mention of hoe
suggests action and I am wide awake
My brother?—|Do dreams come
true? Perchance they may. Per
force they must for ideals do ma
terialize.
