Starting last Monday the Globe and Mail and Empire of Toronto were issued as one paper called the Globe and Mail. The Globe Printing Company which was recently purchased by Mr. C, George McCullagh and Mr. Wright, a millionaire mining man, purchased the Mail and Empire and have amal­ gamated the two papers. It is expected by the owners that the new paper will enjoy a large cir­ culation and they feel that the new paper will be more important than were the Globe and Mail separately. People who have been taking the Globe for years as well as those whe read the Mail and Empire were as­ tounded by the news of this amalga­ mation. It is doubtful if any one pap­ er can take the same place of the Globe or Mail in the homes that have received either ene for years. Time only will tell. Both papers took veiy strong political views, one Liberal, the other Conservative. Just how the public will, receive the one paper as an independent is difficult to foretell. Morning papers during the last number of years have gradually less­ ened in number. Last year the Ham­ ilton Herald ceased publication ns did the London Advertiser quite recently. The expense of issuing a morning pa­ per has taken its toll. ❖ # >i< in it was imposs- all the women- flaunting their that England be* cotton and spin was raw its own factories, and growing of cotton in Just Xmas, ecting en to wear the new fabric. Laws were passed forbidding the importation of calicoes. They result­ ed only in extensive smuggling. Fin­ ally Parliament passed a law prohib­ iting the wearing of cotton garments. That didn’t work, for ible to send to prison folk who persisted calicoes in public. The outcome gan to import and weave it in encouraged the its colonies. Now more cotton is grown than the world will consume. A lot of other people have found out that they can grow and weave cotton. Women are wearing more rayon, made from wood pulp, and less cotton. The English cotton mills are in’ distress and so are the cotton growers.

Prices arc going up but how 'that benefits the farmer we are sonic- TwfraS. doubtful. The general effect, as far as we can observe it, is that most city people are cutting down on their food, eith­ er eating less or buying cheaper grades and kinds of food than they have been accustomed to. When prices rise some method should be in use that will make cer­ tain the the producer gets his share. .*’< ❖ DO MAN-MADE LAWS HELP?

It is built in only one size — with one standard of roomy com­ fort and modern appearance. But you may have either the improved 85-horscpower V-8 engine for maxi­ mum performance — or the new 60- horsepower V-8 engine for maximum economy. The smaller engine makes possible a lighter car—a lower priced car, with lower operating costs—and permits still more people to enjoy the smoothness, quietness and reli­ ability of the V-type 8-cylinder engine. Improved 85-horsepoiver V-8 en­ gine —- Drive it and watch the speedometer! More than three million owners are now enjoying the superior perform­ ance of the Ford V-8 engine on the road. When you drive the .1937 Ford with the 85-horsepower V-8 engine, you are master of a power plant that gives everything you can possibly demand in speed and acceleration. Today it is a better engine than ever — with a better cooling system aryl new smoothness. Yet improved car­ buretion enables it to deliver its thrilling performance with unusually low gasoline consumption. New 60-horsepower V-8 engine — Drive it and watch the fuel gauge! The new 60-horsepower V-type '8- cylinder engine is almost an exact replica of the 85 — except for size, weight and power. It delivers V-8 ^smoothness and quietness — even at speeds up to 70 miles an hour — with gasoline mileage so high that it creates an Entirely new standard of economy in modern motor car operation. We invite you to see this new Ford car at your Ford dealer’s showroom, and arrange to drive one equipped with the engine that fits your own needs. 60 ^S£Poweii Performance with Maxi^ Ec0nomy FEATURES APPEARANCE — A newly designed car.
