Btut they are not public except as being intended for t'h good of the :people in general They are matte and maintained by bodies o8 private persons, and, of coulee, they are in private control. In every Canadian city—anti in every town village and rural district for that matter—the church build- ings are landmarks. In many cases they are the best the locality has to architecture. Their effect upon the life and work of society must be ex tensive and momentous. For instance, the church building Is a Place of meeting aside from the public services• of worship that are open to all win wirit to attend. lit' sides accornanotlat'ing the aetvatiee of all the elements within the church itself—which in these days . may extend from badminton match- 1 es to weighty assemblies of the Church's local or general governing bodies the building opens hospit- able doors to many other organize- I tions. The general result must be I to afford means of expresslon to many movements not connected with the church but useful as pro- moting thought and preventing con, inanity stagnation. On the other band, these build. Inge have a wonderful effect in steadying society. Suppose, for in- stance, a city or other large com- munity 1n which the church Gong"e- gation were deprived of their build- ings and, forced to carry on for an indefinite time in rented premises. Would not such a community tend to drift and disintegrate? There are people who find fault with the cast of church buildings. Seeing that none contribute to the cost unless they choose to do so, the only baiss for such fault-finding is the belief that the community is not benefited in proportion to the expenditure. Suppose this to be true, it does not prove that the c1i cbetl are In the wrong: It May be that hho eentmupdty lige not fitted , itself to receive to the full the bene. Ile which tb'ose who provide those buildings desire to render, a r=im�, BINDERS AND WHEAT In 1910 waren wheal was approxi• mately $2.84 per bushel an eight. foot ,binder was selling in the West for $271. In 1932 when wheat wee around 60 cents per bushel 'the saltie sort of a binder was selling for $2b0. That meant ,that in 1919 a farmer in the West could have secured a new binder by handing over less than 100 bushels' of wheat, while In 1932 he would have had to oo.ntri buts 560 bushels in order to own a binder, That was contained in the address of J, S. Woods when he spoke to members of the United Farmers in Manitoba in their see Cion in Brandon, That argument 12as been In use fora good many years, and it has in It such 'possibilities dor showing what seems to he a business injus- tice Uhalt it will probably be cabs just as inuoh in the fetus, The weakness of that claim can all be stated in the few words: "What are they going to do about it?" It Goold hardly be success- fully argued that because the price of wheat was down theretore the price of the binder whiter was to out the wheat would 'also have to be down to the same level, Potatoes were a much better price last year than in the present market, but that does not mean there has been a corresponding reduction in the Brice of a machine fro digging potatoes. Nor do we see how there could be equnbttty established between the price of any machine and the eons mercial value of the work it does. Such a plan would mean that du:ing some of the recent lean years in tele pulbldshing business a newspaper should have been able to purchase a rotary press for $15,00a Instead of', $35,000 because the commercial value (or earning power) of the paper being printed had been much reduced, But 1t never has worked out that way, I2 •the farmer wants a strong arvu- ment then his best one is that he is producing wheat and selling it in a world market without any protec- tion, and therefore he should be able to buy his machinery on' the same basis. And when a farmer gots On that argument it is not particu- larly easy to show him he is wrong. .--......aa. IT IS UNUSUAL A story in the London Free Prees tells of police having been called several times within recent days be- cause a gang of young men "have been staging a series of raids on booking offices, tearing form sheets and racing schedules off the walls For that range or heater which burns hard fuel, try HAMCO range -size Coke.

We wielt there were more of them. We wish more at these modest editors would 'write their views -snot on party 'polities so much as on other phases of life in the rural districts.
