Subscribers in the eountry like to get their Stars on Thuisdays, or Fridays, so they can look over the advertiseilents, and decide which store is offering whit they are looking for. Advertisers e will be contributing to a bigger turn over, (and that is THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th, 1935 what they all want) by getting their copy in early. We assure them, we will give every co-operation, so let us have your changes as early as possible on Tuesday, but not later than noon on Wednesday. The Star is directly interested in the 'iuccess • of every advertiser, if there- fore we can improve it by giving peorript service, and bringing buyers and sellers together, we are determined to do it, but one of the essentials is the early receipt of advertising copy. Several correeeondents have got the 23, as costs for advertising in a paper that is rarely right, idea- and are forwarding their budgets on Mon - seen except by alew officals days;thereby earning our sincere thanks. , Such advertsing does not reach the people who might be interested in buying properties in different parts of EVerybody knows a policeman's life is not a happy ......oner.and,that. also Applies to politiclans,partieularly the Man:for:neither --does-it-help-the-epeopleetwho- are, in - leaders.

The Toronto paper contains the County of Huron list of 77 parcels, for which the people who have been un- able to paYitheir taxes, are assessed an additional $314.- for the heading. - - The answer to this senseless, if not actually cruel, waste of poor peoples' money will be,. it is according to the Statutes. Other staeutes have by necessity been ignored before this. Why* can't they be ignored again. and give those who are trying to meet their obligations to the.cornawnities in .which they live, a chance to re- tain their }gimes, 1 The County of Huron has one of the lightest" lists advertised in The Gazette, some of the Townships hav- ing only one, two or three parcels. Several village pro- perties .have already been eedeernede and it is copfiden- tally expected at least half of the 77 owners will settle before the day of sale. A different state is revealed in other eounties, where conditions are apparently much worse, or properties on lakes or bays have been _sub -divided. The County of Simeoe list. covers no less than eight lieges for the vil- lages and townships only; if the towns were included, the list would likely be as long again. As it is there are 482 parcels in the County of Simcoe or 405 more than in the- County of Huron.- But the fact,remains, advertising in The Ontario Gaz- ette, is only adding to the hardens of many who would gladly payif they could. A COUNTY FAIR As all the fall fairs will be over for 1935 in the course of another week or two, 'could they not all be replaced by one county fair izi the future? Admittedly each fair has its own peculiar appeal to its own neighborhood, but considering the work and expense involved, ,this could be centralized by rethicing the 8 or 10 fairs in the County to one or two. Directors could be appointed from the various districts, their special duties being to see "that their districts were furnished with such space and accommodation as the exhibitors required. A combined fair would eusure .better competition, and also be more interesting and attractive from the stand- point of spectators. If a midway was considered necessary, the centraliz- ed resources of a county fair would enable, the Directors to secure. if not as many, at least some of the best that now confine themselves to the cities. So far as cattle, horses, pigs, sheeps, fruit, and gard- en produce are concerned, this section of Western On- tario has no occasion to seek outside competitors to make any fair a worth -while event: To gratify the ambitions of the different organizations that are at pre- 4ent ite active Operation,. the faira could be held. at dif- ferent points, until the feasibility, or otherwise of the plan la firmly established. Buildings, equipment, tracks, stables and populaton would have ,to be considered be- fore the selection of a permanent place was finally made, but when once made. it is altogether likely one County Fair would serve the purpose of those now scat- tered throughout the various countiea in thp PrO. ince.

GOOD-SIZED AUDIENCE ,......._„. (continued from page 1) crying for markets. Many months ago the farmers of the country made up their minds that certain minimum prices must be set. Mr. Stevens sug- gested- it amt -later -MY. Bennetrtoolc the idea up, said Mr. ,Scott. However they will only operate with a system 1 of carefully worked out boards that have control of the producers of this country. -"I am sorry, to hear the Liberals condemehig the Marketing Act' said Mr. Scott. • It is the direction in which the farmer proposes to go in this country. Mr. McLean, Liberal member for Nova Scotia is disatis- fled, because the Ontario farmers are selling too many Ontario potatoes in Ontario and not giving the Maritime farmers a thence to sell theirs in Ontario, the speaker asserted a trifle sarca.seically. "I was brought up in the school of. competition and low tariffs and I stick up for protection, when it is protection and without privileges for a few. The tariff question that is filling so prominent A place In the Liberal campaign is not the major issue. "If the raise in tariffs in 1930 woe .so disastrous, why does Mr. King pro- pose to lower them gradually, asked Mr. Scott. "I think it will. be very. very gradually", he said, Mr. Scott spoke at some length on. the question of autoniatie adjustment of supply and demand which he claimed was controlled by the five great livestock markets which ate scattered across Canada. The western markets are known as forwarding markets and the Toronto And Mon- treal markets are known as consum- ing markets the speaker explained. "We must have in. this country an es- tablished agricultural price that will assure the farmer and the labourer a fair purchasing power. A cultivator that a farm'7 er pays $114 for has $4.1 paid out in wages for its manufac- ture he claimed. "The young people ,of Canada will never have a proper chance until a change is made' in the financial sys- tem of the country and until they do something about debt and interest rates".

Referring to the distribution of goods, the speaker claimed that the ordinary man or woman is not able to reach out and pro:ure the necessary manufactUred goods of everyday life. The slave own- ers in Southern United States used to enjoy life, said Mr. Henderson, and when slavery was abolished. people in- vented machines to-do the work that In the past was done by slaves. "Still," he added, "we are not allowed to enjoy the products of these machines." The only distasystem In systein practice in the world today is the paying out of money In wages.

"1 am fighting first, last, and all the time to get 4 new deal for the average man." A third speaker, Mr. G. 0. Durnin, Ashfield Township , farmer, who was called on unexpectedly when Mr. Scott 'had• to answer a telephone call, told of his returning from the west where he had been teaching, school and starting In on the family homestead. He stated that he had really come home to get the farm in 811413e to sell but that he had been unable to do so. The King gov- ernment was in power at the time, said Mr. Durnin. The speaker also inpped the MeLean Packing Company and declared, forcibly, that the whole country today is run by a capitalistic system. Mr. Durnin de- clared that*Mr. Stevens has promised to readjust the system and make the big money holders pay off the debts. Miss Josie Saunders, president of the local Stevens Club, was the chairman of the evening. MR. FRANK DONNELLY CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE (continued from page 1) Sells asked the support 01 every Conser- vative for Mr. Donnelly. The Main Force Dr. Taylor declared the Conservative party had been the main force in the development of Canada. It had been called upon again and again in times of stress'. Even at its birth it was directed by that greatConservative leader, Sir John A. MacDenald. , A- similar -campaign 'was carried on -in the election of 1888, Dr. Taylor said.• It was a whisperingeampaign at that brae, then, just as it was now, He hoped that when the smoke cleared away it would be found that the Conservatives had -been elected as in 1888. - • Looking over the past five years of difficulty throughout the world, Canada was at the head of any country on the ▪ face Of the globe. While he could not stand himself, he urged care in selecting a candidate, and he believed that the other men nominated had the necessary qualifications. Due to Leadership Mr. Morley said that the face that Canada had recovered the best of any other nation in the world was due to the able leadership of Premier •Bennett. It was easy to criticize, as everyone makes mistakes. Mr. Parks was unable to allow his name to stand. There was much dissat- isfaction in the country today. This was shown by the new parties that, had sprung up. Turning to Mr. Stevens, he said that he was ..intrusted with -a great -responsi- bility by his leader, Premier Bennett, the most outstanding, man in public life to- day. He stepped beyond the bounds of his rights In diszlosing certain findings of the mass_ buying ineestigationss When called to time by his leader, he was not min enough to acknowledge his Mistake. He asked his audience when they had heard anything about the reform pro- gram before Mr. Bennett's radio address. As a matter of fact, Mr. Stevens had merely appropriated the prograin of Mr. Benpett.. He pointed out that of the 15 premiers who had served Canada, 11 of them had 'been Contertntives. He thought this was a great record. Organization All-important Mr.. Lesueur complimented ;the Con- servatives of Huron -Perth on the type of men who had been noniinated and had spoken.
