MISS ISABEL RYLAND DIES
New Trude Treaty
The new Trade (Agreement between
Canada and the United States, which
came into operation on January let,
provides many changes in tariffs on
commodities passing from one coun
try to another. Under the new
agreement Canada secures conces
sions cn 202 commodities, exports
of which to the United States in 1937
amounted to $327,505,000 or, ap
proximately 83 per cent, of the total
Canadian sales of $394,240,000' in
that year. Of the 202 items on
which concessions are made, 129 re
present reductions in duty, 41 the
binding of the existing rate of dxity,
and 32 a continuation of present
free entry.
The concessions to Canada on ani
mals and animal products are quite
important. The chief item is live
cattle weighing 700 pounds or more.
Under the 1936 agreement the duty
on this class of cattle was reduced
from 3 to 2 cents per pound, subject
to a quota of 156,000 head. The new
agreement provides for a rate of 1
and a half cents per pound and also
raises the quota to 225,000 head.
The new quota will permit consider
ably larger shipments from Canada
when the price margin is favorable
to depress prices in the United
States. Another important conces
sion is calves. In 19 3 6 the duty
was lowered from 2 and a half cts.
to 1 and a half cts. per pound cn a
quota of 52,000 head. The 1 and a
half cent rate is .continued and the
quota is raised to 100,000 head, with
the maximum weight limit changed
from 175 to 200’ pounds per head.
On cows specially imported for
dairying purposes the maximum con
cession of 50 per cent, was given to
Canada by the United States in the
19 36 agreement (rate of 1 and a
half cents per pound) but only 20,-
000 head were to be allowed in at
the low rate. The quota limitation
has now been dropped and the !1 Snd
a half cent per pound rate will ap
ply to all shipments. In the new
treaty the duties on live hogs and
on fresh or chilled pork have been
reduced by 50 per cent, and the rate
on certain cured pork (no-t including
canned pork and sausage) lowered
from 3 and a quarter to 2 cents per
pound. Reciprocal concesssions on
perk products were granted the U.S,
by Canada.
The duty on horses valued at not
more than $15 0 per head was re
duced from $30 to $20 per head in
193 6, and has now changed to $15,
while the rate on those valued at
mere than $15 0 per head has been
reduced from 20 per cent, to 17 and
a half per cent.

A Poem
The following poem was written
by the late W. W. Revington, dated
August 6, 1899. Mr. Revington’s pen
name was “Adare.”
Alas, on what a slender thread
Existence here depends,
How soon we have to say farewell
To all our earthly friends.
In vain we seek for worldly bliss,
This earth is not oux* home,
And is there not a fairer Land
"Where sorrow is unknown?
How fleeting are our brightest hopes
How transient is their stay,
And those we really love the most
Are first to fade away.
The strongest ties that bind us here
Are easy rent in twain,
And those that we hold neax*
dear
With us will not remain.
and
The longest day is brief indeed
And only ends in gloom,
And those who little think of death
Are nearest to the tomb.
There is a promise on record
By Him that cannot lie,
That they who truly love the Lord
Gan never, never (He,
!/
Aixd if they live In mansions fair
On Gaixaan's happy shore,
And guarded by the Saviour’s care
What can they wish for more?
Adare, (W, W. Revingtoh)

Crime in Huron
Decreased in 1938
Although costs of the administra
tion of justice in Huron County may
be on the increase, it is evident the
large constabulary force has proved
effective in a prevenive way fox* stat
istics taken from records in the Mag
istrate’s office reveal a considerable
decrease in crixne during the year*
1938 in comparisoxx with 1937.
During 1938 there were only 12
cases of breaking and entering, as
compared with 79 in 19 37, and last
year there were 34 cases of theft
and in 1937 there were 62.
In only one department was an
increase shown, and that was in
violations of the Traffic Act. There
were 269 such cases ixx 1938, includ
ing 64 charges of reckless driving,
and only 185 ixx 1937.
There were 13 drunk driving*
charges last yeax* and 14 in 1937,
and liquox* charges, including sell
ing, consuming, having illegally and
giving to minors, dropped from 68
in 1937 to 43 last year.
Radio owners apparently learned
a lesson, fox* only 19 appeared be
fore the Magistrate last yeax* fox*
failing to have a license, as compar
ed with 41 in 19 37.
In 19 37 there was axx all-time high
of 589 cases on the books and fines
totalled $3,691, as compared with
538 cases in 193 8 and a total of $3,-
555.75 ixx fines.
Children’s Coughs
Quickly Relieved
Only the mother knows how hard
it is to keep the children from taking
cold. They will get overheated and
cool off too quickly, get their feet
wet, kick off the bed clothes at night,
and do a dozen and one things the
mother can’t prevent.
There is nothing better to help
children’s coughs and colds than Dr.
Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup. It is
so pleasant to the taste the youngsters
take it without any fuss.
