It's Easy for Salaried People to Criticize Tillers of the Soil. To the Editor of The News -Record Sir,—in reading over the report of the 1Vcst Huron Teachers' Convention, I noticed that Dr. ,Strang of Gorier - jell said : "If farmers would not grumble so inucll in the hearing of their children about their inability to make money an the farm and treat their children better there would not be so touch restlessness in the coun- try." Well, now, I am a farmer and have put in the best part of my life on the Tarns and I think there is no more grumbling done by the average farmer than by the teachers or towns- people, and' as to honey -making, how can a farmer encourage his family to stay at honor when at his owr, door boys and girls front 18 to 20 years of age are getting six hundred dollars per year as teachers. Now, I will say, put the same boy onthe best one hundred acre farm in Huron County, giving hien everything required to manage it with he can not clear so much money per year as the boy who teaches. The boy on the farm works three hundred and sixty -live days a year and the teacher works two hundred and thir- teen. Query, if farming is such a lu- crative busier ss ` as some towns- people picture it, T wonder why of the brainy middle-aged teachers and business men of town .do not try farming to enlarge their bank ac- count ? -A CONTENTED FARMER., GRA DTR uuSYs EM • OCT OBER 14-21-28 To Manitoba Alberta, Saskatchewan Via Chicago, St, Paul and Duluth or Sarnia and Northern Nair, Co, WINNIPEG AND RETURN, '835.00.

CANADIAN PACIFIC, • The popularity of the Canadian Pac- ific aeryice and the excellence' of the road's equipment has . been so greatly; appreciated by the travelling oublic that it hay been found necessary to put into service an entirely new Through • Standard Express: Train between Toronto and Winnipeg. ;Cominencing'on 'Saturday last the. Golden Gate Express will leave Toronto at 2.30 p: in. and will run daily thereafter, arriving at Winnipeg alt, 8.25 a. m. second 'morning. The train will consistof the highest -class modern equipment': Observation Comp pertinent Car,- Standard• Sleeping Cars Tourist Sleeping Cars, Dining Car, First -,class Coach and Colonist Car. This will be found the 'most convenient andbest train- between. Toronto and Winnipeg on account of the daylight departure from. Toronjto when the Union Station is not Badly congested, and also on account of the early hour of arrival 'at Winnipeg. The. present "Vancouver Express" will continue to leave Toronto at 10. 20 p. m daily and will consist 'of the same equipment as the "Gate City Express."' This train is the best to take far points west of Winnipeg, but for Winnipeg and east the "Gate City Express" is the right train to travel by.
