PROFESSIONAL EXHIBITORS
During the past few years the idea
has been advanced from many quart
ers that there should be restricted
areas for exhibitors at Agricultural
Society’ shows. It has been felt by
some that many classes at Fall Fairs
are dominated by the so-called pro
fessional exhibitor. This type of en
try is much in evidence at all Fall
Fairs, one reason being that the truck
is an easy, convenient form of trans
portation anil by this means of travel
an exhibitor can travel great distances.
There are those who felt that this
class of exhibitor should be barred,
and the method advanced is the ad
option of a restricted area for exhib
itors. Port Elgin Agricultural Society
have adopted such a scheme and it
will be interesting to note whether
the people in the immediate vicinity
of Port Elgin enter into the spirit of
things by entering in the various
classes affected.’
Some are of the opinion that to stop
the entries from a distance is a mis
take as it is by this means that the
best in all classes is put before the
people as an example. It is a difficult
problem, for us unfamiliar with the
work of these societies, to pass an
opinion/ and it will be with interest
that we study the effects this ruling
will have on fairs that have adopted it.

ARE WE AIDING AGGRESSOR
COUNTRIES
The Walkerton Branch of the Can
adian Legion has come to bat by call
ing upon the Canadian Government
to place an embargo on all materials
which might be used by such count
ries as Germany, Italy and Japan, in
the promotion of a war against demo
cratic nations.
The motive back of this resolution
is a good one and one that, no doubt,
will receive the blessing of most peo
ple. . But it is not so simple as that.
The goods which would come under
this class are, nickel, copper, other
metals, timber, etc. These countries
use great quantities of these goods in
their every-day existence and.it would
be a great hardship on Canadian pro
ducers as well as the people of these
countries if the export of the above
named was stopped to these contries.
As a matter of fact, the increase of
shipments, despite the great increase
in the manufacture of armaments, to
these countries in this class of goods
has not been increased so very great
ly, which proves that the bulk of such
materials is used for purely domestic
purposes. ‘
This war scare business has mixed
things all up and one has to be an
economist of the highest order, if
there is such a thing, to fathom such
things. We do not wish to take a
stand that would, help these countries
arm but care should be taken not to
wreck our commercial activities. In
other words, great care should be ex
ercised ibefore a ban is placed on our
export trade, but if upon proper in
vestigation we should do this
then let’s do it!

Improved Greatly When He
Kruschen
There has just come to our
a case of grand relief from
, rheumatic pains. The seriousness of
the man’s condition and the step that
led to his ultimate recovery, are des
cribed in the following letter^—
'‘For several years I suffered from
rheumatism. I had all my teeth out,
and still suffered. A year qgo I lay
in hospital for fourteen weeks, almost
crippled. When I got home I contin
ued to take medicine, but began to go
down again. A friend of mine asked
me to try Kruschen Salts, and I Am
very pleased to be able to say I have
been on the mend ever since.”-r-H.P.‘
Two .of the salts in Kruschen are
the mtpst effectual solvents of uric
acid known to medical science. They
swiftly dull the sharp edges of the
crystals — the cause of pain and stiff
ness — and often convert them into -a
harmless solution, which is then ex
pelled through the natural channels.

Fined for Neglecting Livestock
“I should send you to jail, but be
cause you are the only man kabout
your farm, it would only make mat
ters worse,” Magistrate J. A. Makins
told Cephus Young, Colborne town
ship farmer, after he pleaded guilty to
neglecting to feed his cattle. Young
was fined $25 and costs, or $42.10 in
all. Police who visited the Young
farm said-they found seven cows and
six calves in a starved condition. Two
aged cows had to be destroyed. One
of the cows which had fallen on the
ice and became paralyzed, had been
raised to its feet by block and chain,
the chains cutting into the flesh caus
ing raw wounds. This, Young said,
was done to relieve the animal’s suf
fering. It was unable to get up itself.
