EDITORIAL NOTES
Mr. Meighen advocates protection. He
will need it when the voters get a chance
at bas Government.
Thirty thousand harvesters from Eastern
Canada are assisting in taking oft the
crops in the West.
Montreal is getting everything, Toronto
nothing, complains Mayor Church. But
Montreal hasn't got Mayor Church yet.
When the Bell Telephone Co. asks for
permission to increase its rates. why does
not the Government reply, "Line's
busy" ?
The Presidential election campaign
across the line is warming up and promises
to be like the joyful catch -as -catch -can
fights of the good ad daYs-
The Toronto fair is on next week and
the Goderich Exhibition follows the week
after. For the first time the Toronto
alpw will have real competition.
Fruit should be cheap this year. The
yield is abundant, and the acardty of
sugar will lessen the amountof preserving.
1f prices are too low, however. the growers
may refuse to handle the fruit, and the
pigs in the orchard may (are better than
the public.
The Connie Packet a of opinion thatian
allowance 01 14,000 a year(. it not 14.000
a session ?) makes the holding of a seat in
Parliament a trade, and quotes Goldwin
Smith's remark that "politics is the
noblest of professions but the meanest of
trades." are too many political
tradesmen.
By the ratifies st'on of an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
women will be enabled to vote in the
coming Presidential election. The woman
suffrage cause did not look very hopeful
twenty-five years ago, but tha Susan B.
Anthony, were not discouraged. and now
they have won the long -fought fight. It
is estimated that over twenty million
worsen in the United States will have
rotes next November.
The Poles, who last week were appar-
ently on the verge of disaster. have made
a wonderful recovery, and now it is the
Boishevtki who are on the run. The better
handling of the Polish armies by French
generals has doubtless been a factor in
the reversal of the situation. Whether
the Polish Government can now be dis-
suaded from making another invasion of
Russian territory remains to be seen.
One would think that after six years of
war and the frightful havoc it has caused
in Poland the people would set themselves
determinedly against any further aggrer
live fighting.

To Destroy Niagara?
Hamilton Times.
The Buffalo News fears that the Cana-
dians have no sentiment regarding the
Falls of Niagara, and that they are plan-
ning to turn the stream into electric
power, no matter how it destroys the
scenic etfect. We do not think we are so
bad as all that. Canada takes a deep
interest in her side of the world's wonder.
and has spent much money in beautifying
the surroundings.
Worts of Reconciliation.
The Presbyterian and Westminster.
Fuller reports brought by the British
papers of Premia Lloyd George's speech
in Parliament describing the Spa Confer-
ence show that he spoke with appreciation
of the German representatives, Herr
Fehrenbach and Dr. Simons. He charac-
terized them as "two perfectly honest,
upright men doing their best to cope with
a gigantic task." That words like these
can now be used is an indication that the
day of reconciliation is beginning, it may
be faintly, to dawn at last.
The London Free Piess pleads for the
beautiful in commemoration of the men
who died in the great war. It says:
S11ai these men who died for us live
only in a name worked in stone over a
hospital or a library or a community hall
door ? Shall a tablet on a corridor wall
fitly commemorate them ? A beautiful
act can only be fitly commemorated in
beauty. Why has Colonel MiRae's "In
Flanders Fields" run a thread around the
civilised world vivid as the poppies that
bloom among the crosses ^ Was it because
the poem is useful that it has lived and
will live so long as the English tongue shall
last, or there be any. no matter how few,
to remember the"cause" in which he who
wrote it died? No. That poem will live
because it is beautiful. Because it is
acu.stured out of words into heroic forms
and aspiring faces. Because it is tinted
with the crimson of poppy petals and
with the crimson of sa.:rificial blood. Be-
cause it is rich as a missal set with jewels.
Because it flares with the flare of a torch.
Because its music. like great sobbing
waves, breaks over the coast line of even
the rockiest of hearts. A scrap of paper,
and its price is above rubies. * a Build
something simply and cheerily beautiful.
Build it for the boys. the boys alone.
Urge Men to Save Money.
The Lake Carriers' Association, through
the welfare plan. is urging all sailors on
the lakes to join the savings plan in
vogue on the L. C. A. ships. In a circular
letter to the vesetowners the savings
committee, comprising Captain Walter G.
Stewart, George M. Steinbrenner and
C. J. Peck, urge that the men on all
boats be solicited to save 1 heir earnings.
It not only makes for the men's own
welfare, but assures the shipowners of
a more steady job of crews, the commit-
tee writes.
The letter points out the fact that men
who save their earnings are as a rule
more steady and more dependable than
those who spend their money as rapidly
as they receive it.
An Alliance of Hearts.
London Daily Telegraph.
We have seen the French people endure
with unshaken courage losses, injuries
and outrages far greater than our advers-
ary was able to inflict upon ourselves.
Not only bereavement, not only hardship
and privation, but the bitter spirituel
suffering of a barbarous Invasion were
borne by them with a fortitude that no
one who knew France in war -time can
ever forget. It is the sense of these
things that is the new foundation of our
relationship, with the French people, and
it goes far deeper than the policy of gov-
ernments. The people themselves have
shown it at such times as the great men
of France have visited this country since
the war ended ; it is a living and enduring
national sentiment, an indestructible part
of our public consciousness, pervading
the whole people. We are prouder of
nothing in our history than of our part-
nership with France in these last years,
and we are convinced of nothing
firmly than of the necessity of that part-
nership in the years to come. That
necessity was never more clear than it is
at this moment ; but it ought at no time
to be out of our thoughts.
FREAK BETS ON ELECTIONS
Laughs at Losers—C.S. Citizens Who
Have Had to Drop Dignity in Pay-
ment of Election Wagers.
Before the present year expires It
le calculated that at heart half a mil-
lion citizens of the United States—
ninny of them prominent profession-
al and business men—will have to
"free the music" as the result of back-
ing tlw losing Presidential eaudidate.
The ingenuity expended in devis-
ing these bets la almost incredible.
No eccentricity is too extreme. Losers
have carted winners for miles in
wheelbarrows, whiskers_have been cut
In all conceivable styles, stylish young
wen, dressed in the finest clothes,
have worked as waiters and domestic
servants. and have even dug ditches;
while several losers have had to sub-
mit to mock funerals and actual burial
a 1 l ve.
Iiusiness men have impersodated
tramps, acted as clowns, sold patent
medicines at street corners, and stroll
ed along crowded thoroughfares car-
rying Negro babies.
HE WAS AN ASS.
To crawl on hands and knees across
a bridge and back, to swim across a
river regardless of the weather, to
promenade •in the lose'r's wife's clothes.
to walk along prominent streets car-
rying a large placard bearing the in-
scription, "1 am an RIO who predicted
a Republican majority." to grind a
hand organ In front of a church;
blowing a feather half a mile, drinking
disagreeable coneuetiors—these are ex-
amples of freak election bets that have
leen paid by the unfortunate losers.
Alter the teat election Philadelphia
enjoyed the .spectacle of a prominent
citizen hauling the hacker of Woodrow
Wilson—a man weighing twenty

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.
In New York it dignified million-
aire Tanker had to mount the steps
of the Treasury Building, and from
tient eminence recite "Mary had a

dandy had to wear a brimless silk
hat, rubbed the wrong way, to and

and a highly respectable merchant of
middle age, a man who was noted for
his aversion to women. was condemned
to stand at a corner of Sixth avenue

woman who passed.

Municipal Financing.
The Toronto Globe has the following
in its financial columns:
The debentures for the construction
of sewers on the local improvement
plan were offered by the town coun-
cil of (loderfeh to local Investors, and
In a few days subscriptions were re-

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING OF
AND FOR LIVE STOCK. .-
(Experimental Farms Note.)
To the well-known, establisbed breeders
of live stock any advice on the value of
advertising is se;perfiuous, for in the large
majority of cases it has been by proper
advertising of high-class goods that they
have built up their business. The put -
post of this article is to call the attenti
of the smaller breeders. the beginners
the business, to the possibilities in adv
tising any live stock which they
have for sale. For example. every

There are wheels within wheels, and
even the U.F.O. Government at Toronto
has some delicately -adjusted cogwheels.
1` J. Morrison, secretary of the U. F. O ,
is reported as having chided the Govern-
ment, in a public address. for not taking
Vert in the fight against increased freight
sates. The Western Provinces were
represented by counsel at the hearing at
Ottawa, but Ontano was not represented.
Why ? Wm it because of the Farmer -
Labor combination that composes the
Government ? The question of increased
keight rates is linked with that of In-
ereased pay for the trainmen. and the
influence of the Labor representatives in
the Government would be in favor of,
rattler than opposed to, the increases. Mr.
Morrison represents a purely farmers'
organisation and doss not have to consider
Obi claims of Labor. Mr. Drury as
the head of the Government combin-
ation mud listen t0 Labor or risk the
wreckini of his Government. If Mr.
Morriloo were in Mr. Drury's shoes what
ertrsdd he do ? And if the United Farm -
ass think the Labor end of the Govern -
mad has too much iaAuence. what are
thief ging to do about it ? These are
epssstioes the U. F. 0. will have to flee

the butchers every year when it would be
much to the advantage of the breed as
well at to the farmers disposing of them
and lucky enough to get them if they were
kept for further years of service. A little
timely advertising would in many cases
accomplish this end.
Lastly. advertising must be more or
lets seasonable. The greatest demand
for dairycrattleand
is usually in the late winter early
spring, while sheep are more in demand
in late summer and fall. Plan the adver-
tising to meet the seasonable require-
ments and it can then be done most
economically.

it becomes lifeless, thin or loses its lustre; when ugly dandruff

also double it's beauty. You can have nice, thick hair, too.
