Inflation is but another name for des’pair and ruin,- That’s the simple fact. Inflation had a free hand in Germany. In its wake ' in that unhappy country followed the empty flour barrel, -the ill-fed . child, misery and Hitlerism, Hardship will follow this effort to save the country from financial catastrophe but its evils will be as the burnt end of a rye straw to the Rocky Mountains by com parison. At any rate, let us try it out. The best way to discover the practicability of legislation is to enforce it up to the hilt. If the. present way of doing business proves unsatisfactory, we’ll have the blessed privilege of trying something better, - great teacher. The old method of 9. » * Experience is a trial’ and error is hard to beat. FOXTHAT a fox with a liking for poultry but with . .This quadruped concluded that We have heard of u __ an aversion to raising chickens. _ it was better to* secure his poultry, by invading a farmer’s yard. Japan is in just that position. She wants to become a great manu facturing nation at the expense of the rest of the world. She pre fers to get on by plunder rather than by industry. Other nations are willing to trade with her. They have traded with her. But what has she done in return? ;She will not give as .good as she gets but so* far has cheated and underbid those who would do .business with her. .If one finds goods on a counter marked “made in Japan” he immediately suspects inferiority. She has been the bully of the Pacific. When other nations wer.e busy in 'trade, the Japs went the limit in deceit and bullying. She trips and bites and lies and then calls all this playing the game. History will tell all succeeding generations that cannot be trusted. She fights when she thinks the fighting easy and bluffs and rattles her sabre when she thinks she can get away with it. The only time she can be trusted is when she is hog-tied aqd-helpless. The United States has found this out. • ♦ .-A1- **•■>►♦* ■ - WE’D LIKE TO KNOW Some little time .ago we,', were alLJiet up^jp^er, the gasoline situation. We were told the rate.at which we were to drive. In deed. we were encouarged to regard ourselves as pillars of sin if we drove at all, unless we could furnish an excuse, with book; chapter and verse, as to why we drove pur cars. In sympathy with all this • outcry the price of gasoline Skyrocketed. Them, appeared a few columns of perfectly good printed mattei’ in some of our big papers and over night things took on a different complection. The gaso line dealers stopped taking headache pills. The radio stopped its raupous call to “conserve gasoline.” The lionlike roar to remember the need of the war tanks and of -the airplanes dwindled to the bleat of Mary’s little lamb. And now the word comes that rationing of gasoline is not to be entered upon until we enjoy the spring zephyrs. Like Bruce of Scotland in one of 'his lonely moods, we give it all up. Has there been an Ethiopian in the gasoline tanks? Has a nigger somehow got into the gasoline pipelines or has some big fellow or organizatin'of big fellows, “been 'up/to some caper to capture a few easy dollars from a credulous public? We wonder who’put the fly in the gasoline pudding? * * L ♦ * * * * «s BY-LAW TO PERMIT BEVERAGE ROOM IS DEFEATED IN PARKHILL» Parkhill citizens on Friday last voted against the establishment of a beverage room in that town.

The meeting -was opened by singing one verse of “0 Canada”, fdllowed by the Lord’s Prayer in unison. Following the reading of the min utes it was decided that the , club would accept Mrs. Lloyd Taylor’s offer - of a travelling library. Mrs. Walper read a letter on-parent ed ucation. ' Four of the school girls sang, after which Mr. Watson spoke on “The Science of Lake Httron”. This was much enjoyed. Mrs. Em ery Desjardine then took the chaft for the election of officers.

Mrs. Alex .Hamilton is the new president and Mrs. Wellwood Gill the vice-presi dent; Miss Amos, secretary; Mrs. Henry Green, treasurer. Murray Desjardines then delivered his Speech oh “Corn”, for which he re ceived third prize in the junior el imination for the school fair winners before the County Council in God erich. After another song by the girls, all joined in a Chinese spell ing match,-; Tile meeting closed by singing the National Anthem. ■ y,—„ THE DANGER IS REAL •For years some of Britain’s best friends told her that there was a danger looming up in Germany that threatened her very existence. These friends were flouted as possibly well-meaning but fearful, if not a war-mongering lot. These friends told the em- , pire that their foes were preparing for a war of extermination and that in this preparation they were utterly outstripping Britain in all matters of military defence, let alone in matters of aggression. The reply was a luxurious statement that Britain iWds well prepared and that all she had to do was to turn her attention for a few moments from trade and commerce and the enemy, if she had an enemy, would be put into his place., Well, the war broke. All know what has beeh done by enemy bombers to England^, cjties. All know the result of sending our . ' armies to help Belgium and France. We know, too, that the Baltic. Sea has become a German lake. We know, too, how perilously near the Mediterranean Sea has come to being a German lake. 1 Whaf we are coming slowly to acknowledge is that the western hemisphere is within striking distance of oUi’ inveterate foes. What we are becoming aware of is the indifference of the North American" con tinent to her peril. -In this respect North America is appallingly at ease in Zion. She is catryng on as usual for the most part. Germany, too, is carrying on as usual. North America is marrying and giving in marriage quite neglectful of the flood every -hour approachng her shores, her cities and her country sides. *****,#•* Relatives received the announce ment of the marriage of MisS Nellie 13.

In the end, this struggle is to be Won by hand to hand effort. ^Farmers simply must put their own hands to farm work. Wheat and alfalfa and oats and corn are not won by talkfests and by putting heads together, as some folk fondly imagine, to their Serious hurt. The farmer must get his work done by himself, or under his own strict and wise guidance. Absent t treatment of farm work paves the way to ruin. The 'merchant is’in the same boat. We know a merchant who attended everything in the town but his own job, who told us that it will take years of the hardest work to get back what he lost by gracing everything but his own counter and his own office. We can give a whole lot of other instances of the principle we have in mind. And this war will not be won by brass hatS. It will not be won by radio speeches, and by strutting and fine theories about the science of war or of navigation or of air fighting. We are sick to death of that sort of thing. “Put me alongside of the enemy, and the closer the better,” said Nelson to Hardy, his captain, Trafalgar followed.
