It was a ;beautiful world we wak-
ened to on Monday moaning, when
every shrulb and bush, every tree and
hedge was covered* with . soft snow,
which lead fallen so softly and so
•quietly during .the night that ie had
lain where it fell. We lieve had two
orthere-such •. scenes this winter, and
such scenes do much to add to the
beauty and take front the disagree-
ableness of winter, Although, per-
eonally, I always enjoys the winner,
especially when we have plenty of
snow.
A recent writer in a national
weekly complained that women were
being too much discussed; that they
could not Ido their best
or be their natural
'selves on account of the fact that
whatever they did was given so much
publicity. "And. isn't it the truth?"
No class of people surely ever lived
under such a blaze of publicity as
R+omen have been subjected to since
the. Great War. Women were sup-
posed to find their freedom at the
time of the Great War. But it Was
not so much women claiming their
freedom: but that they were expect-
ed, us men were, to "do their bit,"
and they valiently endeavored to do
it. Many women did things during
the years of the war which they no
doubt chose just for the adventure of
the thing, But Many others did what
they could for the same reason that
men went to fight, for patriotism,
And When the war was over it was
-impossible for them, es for many a
returned soldier, to settle dawninto
the old humdrum life as before. The
old humdrum was not so hum or -so
drum to settle down jto. The world
was different and women Sled to ad-
just themselves to it, as nneu had.
But, even taking into eonsideratioin
the publicity returned soldiers have
had in the past twelve years, it is
nothing to what women have been
subjected to. Their dress, their man-
ners, even their morale, have been.
considered fairara a ame for h-
g p gn• P
ers, magazine waiters, editors and
even ministers and other church dig-
natories. They have lived and work-
ed and played and prayed in the
white light of publicity. They have
not known 'that it was to have a
moment's 'privacy. And, if all or
even a 'majority of the things said
were the truth it would not be :so.
bad. But they are usually about as
far from t'he'truth- as they ,can Ibe;'
,women are accused: of almost all the
sine in the calendar, ,they •ape said
to be always running after the men'
but not willing to 'marry and help a
man rear a family and make a suc-
cess sof life. • They are accused of
being extravagant` and yet Mantled
for earning money for themselves.
The whole trouble ,seems to bathed)
women have wine to consider there-.
selves as rational human beings, with
some rights as such and a willing -
nese to carry their own. half of the
burdens and claim 'also solve of the
rrivileges attendant upon their new.
status.
For countless ages ''women have
been doing the work, carrying the.
burdens and accepting the rewards'
which their lords and Masters, men,.
have decreed should be theirs. They
now claim sone right to free choice,
Some burdens have ;been placed upon
them by nature, of course. ' Women
must be the northers of the race,.
with all the burdens that implies. But
surely if women are good enough to
bear and rear cjiiildren they are in-
telligent enough to have something
to say about the environment of
these children as bhey grow and de-
velope. •
Women have not changed mater-
ially. They are still women, willing
to take up their share of life's work,
but they wish to have some part in
deciding what sort of a world they
are going to live in. They are not
so willing ag their grandmothers
were, perhaps, to do •a man's bidding
and to take their -opinions•, from a
man. But why should .they? Girls
have the same opportunities of edu-
cation as boys and when they devel-
ope their brains they cannot be blam-
ed for using tthenm, Intelligent men.
men surely want intelligent women
for partners. And women certainly
have not developed so far that they
are indifferent to men. Nor it is
likely they will.
Women are sometimes blamed for
going out into the busines world and
grabbing off good jobs which men
ought to have. But women have as
much right to' live as men have.
• Their going out into the world of
business is a ease of neeessiey in
most instances. It must be laid. at
the door of changing conditions.
Fathers and brothers nowadays are
not willing to support the women of
their families in idleness -They must
earn their own bread and the woman
who goes out into the world and
earns her own 'bread, often assisting
in the home as well, is to be 'com-
mended .-rather than blamed.
If women .could be left alone for a
little while, until they have adjusted
themselves to the changing condi-
tions of the world and (heir own
place in it, they would be grateful
for the privilege of attending to
their own affairs in privacy, and
when that adjustment is made they
will come out all the better, strong-
er, and, I believe, more beautiful
and lovable than ever.

NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture )
By winning almost forty prizes in
the Grain and Iday Show in Chicago,
Ontario exhibitors demonstrated that
our seed stacks and climatic condi-
done are quite favorable to the :pro-
du.ction of highest quality commod-
ities on the market.
"The feature of 1930 in Essex
County was the conte -back in cons;"
Mates Agricultural Representative
S. B. -Soothers, "Essex should be in
a position to take .eare of a good por-
tion of,ehe Canadian seed corn trado
in 1931. This at one time was an ex-
cellent industry with us, and we hope
to secure 011ie market once More."
Canada has 100,000 fewer 'horses
than it did a year ago, despite the.
.fact that the area under cultivation
has increased by abont a million
acres. The tractor and the combine
in Western Canada are primarily re-
sponsible. In.the east, where mixed
farming is the rule, the :same in-
roads have not been made. In On-
tario, notwithstanding the motor ear,
there .are more horses than •thele
were. 11he total for this province is
606,000.
.A Real Opportunity
i,Some idea for the opportunity for
Ontario farmers to develop the ex-
port trade in hog and Pork products
is afforded by official, figures wlbh
respect to dead meat impeets into
Great Britain. For the first ten
months of 1930, bacon imports reach-
ed a total of 7,414,020 cwt,; .valued
at $34,922,008, and . of this volume
Canada _supplied only 8`7,109 ewt.,
which had a value of $403,955. Dur-
ing the sane period imports of hams:•
totalled .865,035 cwt., oe which the
United States supplied 715,352 esvt„
or more than, !ten tithes the 70,968.
cwt. supplied by Canada, These were
the only two in a long list of dead
neat import:: in which the Canadian'
contribution was large enough to list"
separately.
Rural Hydro Grows
Latest available figures show a
total of 7,100 utiles of rural hydro
lines in Ontario and it is proposed to
add almost 2,000 more during 1931,
Reduotion in rates' has had a lot to
do with the recent rapiid growth.
Nearly every county n,oww has hydro
in the rural districts. The average
cost for.; current to light ibhe; house
and barn and run -ordinary applian-
ces such as toasters, washing machin-
es and irons, is about $5.00 per
month, It awns considerably higher
where a motor and a stove are oper-
ated. In addition toproviding needed
conveniences, the development of ne-
ral hydro is expected toprove,onegof
the biggest factors in improving'
farm conditions in Ontario in the
future.
Manitoulin Turkeys
During the month of December
over 8,000 turkeys . were shipped:
from Manitoulin Island to lffferent
parts of Canada amid the United
States. he average weight of the
birds was about 20 pounds, which
speaks highly for the quality .of pro-
duction there.. Int is worthy of note
that the turkey was introduced into
the island for the purpose :o$ check-
ing a plague elf grasshoppers, which
it did effectively. The farmers were
not slow, however, to see that -there
was money' in turkeys and from a
sideline they 'have become a leading
industry of the Island,

but have also .been a splendid 'med-
ium ad advertising for Ontario pro-

tulated on its very useful work in
this connection.
Experimental Union Gathering
Prominent agriculturists from all
parts, of Ontario were in attendance
at a !banquet given last -week in con-
nection with the 52nd `.annual neet-
ing of the Ontario A'gr:iculturd`l and
Experimental Uinion at 0,. A. ,. C.
Praising the wonderful work earned
an by .?the Union, Hon. Thomas L,
Kennedy, Minister of A,grioulture, is,
sued a , strong appeal to the young
men of Ontario Ito stay on the farms
and be proud of their calling, Dr.
Archibald; director of the Ontario
Experimental Paean at Ottawa, and
Mr.T. B. Fairbairn, Deputy Minister
of Agriculture, also'' delivered a'dl-
dresses.. A strain of optimism pre
vaded the address of Mr, D. Z. Gib-
son of Caledonia, president of the
Union, who in -referring to prevail-
ing unsatisfactory conditions in the
farming industry, deplored that farm-
ers should be tri noway discouraged
as similar conditionshave been ex-
perienced before, "History repeats
*elf," he said. "The past is a guir-
antee of the future. And just as an
era of .prosperity followed the seri-
ous depression of 35 years ago, so
there will come in' the near future
better times for the fanner as well
as for others."
Experimental 'Work
At the Experimental Union gath-
ering in Guelph last week, :the sec-
retary, Prof. W. J. Squirrell,report-
ed that material had been distri-
iuted in 1930 for a total of 43 co-
operative experimental projects
which covered practically all of the
cultivated crops . of Ontario. The
work was entirely voluntary on the
part df. the experimenters, this con-
stituting a big factor in the success
achieved., President Gibson dressed
the vahte of the co-operative experi-
ments in enaltling the farmer in his
particular locality todecide what
variety is best for Ids soil, "Success-
ful fanning," he declared, "depends
on sucecssful Mop growing. But
thatis only half the story. Live-
stock should interlock with crop pro-
duction, and Ontario farmers must
inelude good livestock in their busi-
ness in order to be prosperous.
Advice to Dairymen
Canada's dairy industry will re-
cover from its slump and dairymen
once more will be on the road to
prosperity when those connected
with the industry realize that qual-
ity is the all-important factor, J. B.
Griffen, secretary of ,the Ontario
Milk Producers' Association, told
delegates to the annual convention of
Eastern Ontario Dairymen at Corn-
wall last week. He urged !hear own-
ers to keep only profitable stock,
usingthe cal an ab acs. tee
s es and c t to
eliminate eb ardeis' from their_
herds. He pointed out that the Can-
adian farmer 1mn5t cut his own costes
to the minimum in order to success-
fully compete with those of nations
where produetion costs ars low. R.
W
Wade, director of .the Ontario
Livestock Branch, also delivered an
address, declaring that Canadians
would buy more Canadian cheese if
the quality were guaranteed. Ire felt
that consumers should be critical
and demand the best.
Short Courses Prove Popular
The three month courses in agri-
culture and bone economics which
opened in December last are prov-
ing quite popular in their respee-
Live communities. Eight such courses
are being held by the, Ontario De -
pastiest -it of Agrieuiture in as many
different counties, namely: Bruce,
I•Iastings, Lincoln, Middlesex, Nor -
'folk, waterloo, Wtentwouth and
Yolk. An :average -of 38 young men
were enrolled in the eourses .in agri-
culture and 28 young women in
house economies courses during the
month of December. In addition to
these, 34 one-month courses' are be-
ing .staged in as many different
counties or districjts by the agricul-
tural representatives during the
months :of ,January and February.
Short •eourtes in agriculture were
first ;instituted in 1912. Since that
time '638 month's courses in agricul-
ture have been held with en attend-
ance of 17,852. This e is an average
,of over 33 per year with an average
attendance of 28. i h,e first three -
.courses in agriculture and
home . economics were staged in
1921-2. Since then 71 •such courses
have been organised With a total -at-
tendance of 2748 boys and 3080 girls.

COUNCIL'S ACTION NO SALARY
GRAB
One year ago a suggestion was
made at the council that the mem-
bers should receive a smell ' amount
for the time and service they ale re-
quired to give in looking after the
bown.'s"- affairs, at the nomination
meeting ' it was brought up when
Mayor Fells stated that atno meet-
ing (luring the year was there a full
council present and thought that !pay'
,might overcome 'that .condition. So
the 1931 council took action and vot-
ed themselves $5 per meeting or 570
per year each: if every meeting is at-
tended.
('Ther ;night be and most likely
will be some objection to this action
of the council, bat . it was not done
until it had been thoroughly gone
into and the Clerk had received let-
ters from several of . the towns a-
round, and it appears that Wingham
is one of the last places to adopt this
system.
1As a comparison, we give .below
the amounts paid to the members of
the Councils in our neighboring
townships: Tunnberry, Reeve 865,
councillors $55; East Wlawanosh,-
Reeve 580, Councillors 555; Wrest
Wawanosh, Reeve, 575, Councillors,
$60.
There is still a vacancy on the
Council for which 'ai nomination
meeting will be held' in the near fu-
ture, and with the salary now offer-
ed there •should be more action than
at the last few previous meetings.
And ifthrough this adieu of the
council there is more interest taken
in municipal affairs it will be money
well spent.—Wingham Advance -

NO ONE NEED HAVE DIPH-
THERIA
Diphtheria .eies, like mosother
disease germs, select certain -parts or
tissues of the body in which' to settle
down, grow and multiply: Diphtheria
germs, for exartnple, are usually
found in the throat or nose,
It is not titre germs theanselves
which directly injure the body and
cause disease, but rather the poison
or toxin which they produce. The
genes l'enlain localized in the throat
awl nose, but bhe poison which they
give off is Carried in the blood • to all
parts of the body, and sic, all parts
are subjected to damage by the pois-
on eonnieg from the germs wihieh lie
in the throat or nose,
'When hale body is attacked by diph-
theria toxin or poison in this way, it
immediately seeks to protect itself,'
and it doesso by producing diphtheria
antiitoxin, which counteracts or neut-
ralizes the toxin or poison produced
by the diphtheria germ.
If the diphtheria antitoxin is pro-
duced quickly enough and in suffic-
ient quantity, the lbody is victorious,
the toxin is overcome and the patient
recovers. Not only does recovery
take place, but, as a result of the ex-
perience, the body is prepared, for a
time at least, to .prevent a recurrence
of the disease. That is why second
attacks of diphtheria are comparat-
ively riare.
Unfortunately, in many oases, the.
body is unable' to produce diphtheria
antitoxin -quickly enough or in til
quantity required, with the resu1.
that .the patient sueenanbs.' This i.
what, happens in about one thousam
cases each year in Canada.
Fortunately, •. 'diphtheria can be pre
vented; protection against this dis
ease can •be gained without facie
the suffering and danger of dea
associated -with the disease.
Tie injection'of a substance lcno
as diphtheria toxoid stimulates th
body to prodmce diphtheria antitoxin,
and so prepares it in advance to deal
with any dip'hbheria germs and their
'poisons svhose attacks the person
may be exposed.
The injections of diphtheria toxoid
are perfectly harmless, and they ren-
der the person receiving them im-
mune or protected against diphtheria
_just as he would have been protected
by an attack of the disease, 'hut with-
out suffering or danger.
Parents can free themselves from
worry lest their children contract
diphtheria. Lives can be saved and
suffering prevented. The fame.

sary injections oftoxoid which ill

ways made its last run :out
of the city into Hamilton and return
Saturday, according to announce-

Tomorrow morning the train, known
as "Old Granny," will leave here for
Simcoe, where it will be backed down
the Otterville branch to Woodstock,
and operated from there to Stratford
and Goderich, returning to'thia city
by the same routing, Such a change
in routing was proposed about a
year ago, but protests were numer-
