NOT ASKING
FOR MORE
The will of Daniel Dodge
been tiled at Pontiac Mich., and
Out of an estate of some $10,000,000
there has been $250,000 set aside
for his widow, She was Laurine
ilc.Douald, who formerly worked In
a telephone office on Manttoolln
Island, Shortly after she married
the very rich Mr, Dodge he was
killed 1n an acceded,
She seems to be just a natiutal
small town girl and it is suited she
considered the amount settled on
tier was.. quite sufficient,. Probably
more money than her relatives or
friends ever thought about, and
likely enough she would prefer
having her husband with her to-
day and da without money.
Mrs, Dodge is not like most of
the people who enter courts in
United States when such matters
as. dividing a husband's estate are
being dealt with, When there are
millions involvel they always talk
10 terms of millions. Never do
they drop bank to the language of
thousands of dollars. But this On-
tario girls seem coutena that a sum
equal to 1-40 of her huebnnl's estate
is Quite sufficient, and.. one can't
help admiring her for the decision.

SO HE (WENT
HIMSELF
B:rttadn has Orad a good many
capable diplomats travelling
through Eurolpe in recent weeks
and their mission has been the
frame always+—trying to •find some
way of preventing an European war,
When things' looked bad, black
and dangerous Prensier Chaw:per-
lain decided he would go himself
to Germany and talk directly with
Chancellor itl d
p tor H er. Au cl he would
take a plane and get there jest as
quickly as he could,
Britain does not want a war;
Premier Chamdrei-lale, does not
want war, and the one thing which
seems to have stood solidly between
Durope and .war has, been the Per-
sistence of the British Government
that there shall be no war.
The fact that Premier Chamber-
lain
hamberlain throttled to go himself 'to 'Ger-
many Is no reflection upon the
calibre and training el this col-
leagues who had gone beton, It
waled be nrucli the same as a man
who when hearing of calamity in hie
iieig1hborliood• would not be ,content
wltr sending went help he ootuhi
— but he would want to go himself.
Not only Britain bat the ip'eace-lov-
Ing section et the world ren pro-
loundly thank Gor icor the presence
and outlook of Premier 'Chamber-
lain.
Nothing annoys a woman more

CURRENT :LIFE
ON THE FARM
With cheaper rates for electrical
power residents of rural communi-
ties are ready to take advantage of
many labor-saving and modern de-
vices which may be utilized as soon
as power IS brought to their prop-
erties We agree with the
Christian Science Monitor when it
Points oat the many uses to which
this power may beput as follows:
Electricity surely is bringing
blessings to the farm, The house
now is equipped with an electric
radio, instead of the troublesome
battery set; a vacuum sweeter has
replaced the broom and an electric
washer the washboard eleotric
toaster, percolator, gtull, and range
have obviated the necessity ot
building a fire in the stove or the
risk of getting kerosene in the
food, an electric razor and curling
iron have added •personal comforts
while there is an electric radiator
in each room for frosty mornings
and retrigeration iu the kitchen
For the born and outbuildings,
says a .odd.western professor of
agrie:aural economics', there are
200 pit:e.tieal uses for eleotridty.
The dairy farmer should have elec-
tee milkers, portable hot water
'heater and stei4ilizer, electric cab-
inet for cooling milk, eleotric sep-
arator, motor-daiven trill that grinds
700 pounds' of roughage per hour,
add a feed mixer that mixes a
quarter of a ton of grain In five
minutes, The poultry fanner
needs an electric incubator and
brooder, an electric egg candler,
and an electrical device which re-
moves pin feathers. Besides which
there are electric sheep, stealers,
electric currycombs, and electrical-
ly driven coreshellers, hay balers,
and scores of other devices.
The unto -date reenter need
neither marry to get a helper nor
have a hired man. All he need do
Is sign on a few unemployed elec-
trical engineers."
As for giving unemployed electri-
cal engineers some work to do, the
idea is a splendid one. Bat most
farmers will still maintain that a
wife and a hired man are absolute
essentials,

"THE MAGNIFICENT
GAMBLE"
Diplomats from world centres
who gather at Geneva are reported
to have expressed vatead opinions
regarding the 'trip ot Prime Minister,
Chamberlain' to Fuehrer Hitler of
Gemany. Many of theist saw the
tray as one at hutiiiia:tion which
would, cause Britain to lose. east,
because It "worldui>tpear that
Chamberlain 'tired to go to Hitler."
That they considered was bad,
equivalent 4o a ,sign and admtasiion
of in'reriority or wealunese.
That attitude may help to explain
Just what is wrong With Geneva and.
Us League of Nations, The wrong
'people may he there, advocates of
the old schpol of diplomacy 'which
would 'break rather than bend, They
probably 'hold, while gathering in
the name of peace, that it is not
.much use having an army and a
navy unless' such thi.ngtsshalt be
turned to the serious business of
war.
We are certain as can be it is
correct to say Premier Chamberlain
did not have to go 'to Hitler. He
could have stayed right where he
was' in London, There was nothing
to force hen to take his first plane
vele of 610 miles. He could have
called for the official tin dish and
washed his hands of all response
Unite, and he could have said ,that
everything which could be done had
been done,
We, are strpngly of the opinion
that Premier Chamberlain went be-
cause he wanted to and because he
felt he should, and night there is,
the greatest motive in the world,
Greater and higher than going be-
cause he had to,
The New York Phase gets com-
M tably close to the whole situs

Chamberlain% trip this way:
"Viewed as a final peace move, a
Stoprenre effort to save anankind
Pram the horror of another war, ib
,takes on the epic quality of a map
reticent gamble for t he highest
stake in the world."
The international critics, who
;gather at Geneva under the gener-
ous roof of the League of Nations
have neither 'the vision nor the
courage of a Chamberlain who is
actually staking his reputation `.for
the highest stake in the world"—
peace.
NATURE OUR
GREAT REFORESTER
There is' an impression abroad
that the ale work of the Depart-
ment of Forestry is the planting of
trees, and it is easy enough to
uadenstand why that belief should
prevail, 'There are so many ad-
dresses made on the subject and
nearly always there is mention
nude of reforestation by the setting
astcte' of certain; ,tracts of land and
planting trees •trere and protecting
theau, That is good work and
wartry 01 all assistance but it is
indeed bat a small part of it.
Forest trees will if given a
chance set in motion the process of
natural regemenation; that is, they
will reproduce themselves, if they
have a chance to do it. The pre-
vention of forest fires will yield far
greeter returns than all our tree
planting possibly could, and ,the
fact that forest fires are less in ex-
tent than they were some years
ago Is one or the chief reasons why
great areas in this Province will
one again become tree -bearing.
Another reason why our forests
are on the way bath is the appiioa-
tion of scientific methods to timber-
ing, in contracts' new issued it is
stirnleteg that the lumber firms
cannot take a pine tree under 13
Inches diameter. There was, a time
when lumber Camps would go
throa>,gb a sectiom and reprove all
the white pine because they wanted
it above 'all else. When such a
policy was followed it meant the
end of a Second gra•wth because
there 1005 no tree parenthood left.
Tile pa:acess of reforestation is
slow but it is sound and right. It
takes 80 years' to grow a white
1110e tree or 18 inches: diameter
