NOBODY SEMS TO 7 ` ESE TITLE Unfavorable and Sarcastic Comments on Another Hereditary Title— Like Plain "Misters" • If a elan wishes to bring down upon himself the disapproval of the press and the people of Canada, one effec, tive way in which he can do it is to accept an' hereditary title. It was only a few mouths ago that a flood of protest and unfavorable comment c me at the bestowal on a Canadian o 'such a title. "In the free democracy or Canada," Mr Rowell said at that time, "we are not improving conditions by import- ing hereditary titles passing from to son,t father 11 his is the first 1 a c hope it may also be the last." This statement, and the sentiments expres- sed in it, were echoed andre-echoed throughout Canada. The Ottawa Journal Press (Conservative) said: "The public attitude in Canada is well expressed in the comment of Mr. Rowell;" and The Christian Guardian said that they would lithe to second with all the emphasis they might, the remarks macre by Mr. Rowell regard- ing the granting of Canadian heredit• ary titles. Note there is another flood of pro, test because another hereditary title has been granted. "A lot of Cheap John titles in the paper this morning. They are getting as common as dande- lions," was the comment of tho Toron- to , Telegram. "The hereditary title ought to be kept out of Canada. Tihis country does not want a little aristoc, ac ofits own," was the comment of racy the Mail and Empire, and the Liberal press Joined in its disapprobation. The rot Star points out T e To n o S a u that at the recent conference in Washington, France was represented by M. Vivian!, Great Britain by Mr. Balfour, the United, States by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing, and Canada by Sir Thos, White and Sir George Poster. In this case these aro only life -time titles, "No matter what may he said about them," the Star thinks, "there is sure- ly no defence for this new practice of distributing hereditary titles in Can- ada," "They are conferred," says the Star, "in defiance of a public opinion that is, we venture to any, practically universal throughout Canada:' PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH TRACTOR. Mr, 3, N, Kereighan of Huron county, in a letter to Farm and Dairy, gives this experience with a farm tractor. The late spring was, he says, a poor one for trying out •t tractor in his section, as the land never dried out peoperly. Still the tractor proved it could do the culti- vating quicker and better than horses where the ,land was not too hilly. t would not," Mr, Kernighan says, "advise anyone buying a tractor if his laud is hilly, because good work cannot be done on hills, either plowing or cul- tivating, especially if the land is light, as the engine will side -slip. "Where conditions are suitable with the six and a half -foot cultivator fifteen acres can be cultivated in ten hours with the eighty -rod rounds and between four and five acres plowed. "We find," the writer gees on, "that cowl oil gives perfect satisfaction in the engine. The engine runs smoother on coal oil than on gasoline, and there seens to be as such power in the oil when the engine gets thoroughly warmed up," • In comparing the cost of tractor and horse power, Mr. Kernighan says horse power, for the time ac- tually engaged, is cheaper, but tiie tractor is cheaper in the end because horseS have to be fed all the time, while the engine requires feeding only while at work and besides it never gets tired or shoulder -sore, Minor Locals What class do you come tat And now Mr. Amateur Gardener, approaches the Beaton of tike potato bug The good old summer time.

In this re- spect things havo change' greatly of late, and every Canadian is looking tor the time when we shall have novels and poetry, music and drama, pictures and similar forms of na- tional self expression that the world will recognize and honor. Canada has not been without poets, Indeed it is in this branch of literature that our country has been richest, There are men like Archi- bald Lempmata who have pictured and interpreted our lire and our Ca nadian scenes in their verse in a planner that has made theist classics in our land.
