The following suinma ry of what

Clinton and Londesboio certainly
haveto be congratulated on their
ability to stand. the strain, but why
in the world Wroxeter should. "ship;,
-•2,600 hogs less in 1926 than in 1925
and drop from 45.1 to 21.4 percent.
select hogs,.is a' "conundrum for which
someone' surely has an -answer; and
Brueefield.is just about as bad, in
fact very bad, when that 11.5 percent
selects stares you in the face.Just.
why such a drop in quality et a few
shipping points can be noticed tali
hardly be answered by the fact that
all the , litter losses were the goo 1
pigs ordinarily. Perhaps i!lordwich
would get some of the Wroxeter atk
Gerrie pigs and apparently a "fairly
good. lot too as approebnately pp
equal 'grade on 900 mord ,pigs was
realized. 5
Apparently the ;farmers' n the
cinity •of Auburn, -McGaw and • Goder-
ich like pigs pretty,: well too. . At least
there was more : oC thein ; by 1,900
than ip'1925 with a slight reverse
grade at McGaw and an increase' at
Auburn,. ; Goderieh . holding fairly
steady. It is hoped that the Bacon
Hog Fair in this district will improve
conditions even more. Anyway, tire'
hog raisers` there asked for the fain
so we hope they get fair weather,
good 'roads and well filled classes.,
By the way did you hear that some
_Jolter was starting Into the Corn Belt

ty? At, least, a report has reached
us that a number of hog raisers are
now using lard type;sows to improve,
the bacon standards of the County,
Surely -they-cannot. have heard that,
even the ttinited States consinnrer has
come to recognize Canada's bacon as
superior to that fat, slobby, Corn

the conditions .of : the corn si1pply. -,
}baron County' hog raisers are well
advised to 'listen to the cozrsunier:'s
demand rather than be persuaded by
prejudice that -:has a5 : a basis that
short thick hogs are easier to raise.
Maybe they are but what would hap-
pen if they were the only kind raised
for ,our, markets? Better, think that

THE BLASPHEMER PUNISHED
Recently. Ernest V. Sterry, editor
of the Christian Enquirer „yeas sent-
enced to jail for'1ibeidus plasphemy
,against- the Word of God. •It is the
first case of 'it's kind in the history
of Canada. Judge Coatstvorth ,in
speaking to the jury said: "We look
upon the Bible as the basis of -every
good law in our country..- 81 is. to us
the dearest and most precious bo`
ok
in all the world. 1t -i s' always painful
to ]rear any person question any part
of the Bible. We do allow that' any
person inaydisbelieve in God and the
Bible and may express that belief in
language and in writing. We insist,
however, that in doing so the lang-
uage or writing must be couched in
respectful terms with such .a subject
as is most sacred to nearly every per-
soniu -our land. When the language
or writing is in such disrespectful and
indecent terms as to be resented by,
and an offence to all our God-fearing
people and to outrage their feelings
and sans° ,of propriety, then it be-
comes blas'phoniy." The Judge simply
meant that Sterry in his writings
simply passed the limits of decent and
respectful expressibn of opinion,
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
in Ontario would have had feelings
of revulsion had they read this paper
of Sterry''s. In this way Sterry tros-
passee, on the rights of the 'people
and that an ' itself constitutes mute
s a crime,
It is said he will not fight deporta-
Hion when his jail term is over, and
Canada will be better off withopt

A Column Prepared Especially for Women--
But Not Forbidden t Men
u 4' lyi
There's a long, long winding road,
That never wearies rue,
A road I often travel -
When .old friends -I wish to see.
That road is called "sweet memory,"
So, -old 'yet ever new;
And' I oft infancy wander there,
To laugh and talk with you.
-J. B. Downie..
A lady whd has travelled a:1ot gave
as her reason that she would be old
some day and that she wished to
have her memory stored with beauti-
ful and interesting pictures 'so' that,
when site could no longer take part
in the interesting and diverting
things of life, she would have some-
thing pleasant and entertaining -to
,think upon.
Pleasant and diverting memories
are very pleasant companions to
have with uy always, even before old
age creeps along to slow clown our
activities and removeus from the
busy haunts of, business or society.
It. is not good for people to think too
much upon themselves. You hear
doctor's or people 'who have charge of
semi -invalids, especially those suffer-
ing from nervous disorders, devising
°means' of getting .the patient to quit
thinking .of. himself or herself. We
•are so constitut4d that if we have
rolling to think of
except ourselves
we often become morbid and lose
health and mental balance.' It is well
for us to- have interests outside of
ourselves. It keeps us sweet, whole"
some and interested fn life, '
One of the reasons why most 'peo-
ple are such poor company for them-
selves is that they fail to store their
minds and they have nothing to think
of waren left to their own resources.
Everyone cannot travel, as the lady
quoted at the opening of this article,
and so store their memories with in-
teresting . pictures of their own and
other countries, bit there is one reme-
dy for an empty mind of which almost
any person in this country can avail
themselves; That is reading. A per-
son who is fond,of arcading, who can
lose himself or Herself in a book,
has the way opened to the best com-
pany that the world affords. You
may be set in lonely places, you niay
be shut olit from much that you
would wish for and enjoy, but with' a
bobs no one is forlorn: And in this
age of b9oks anyone in this land niay
have the;,fine solace of reading.
"Oh, lint," I heal some one say,
"that is just the trouble: There are
too many books and many of them
are not fit to read." Of course there
are a lot of books and some of them,
it is true, are not of a very highqual-
ity. Indeed, I've wondered ssoale-
times why publishers accept some
books, at all, so little of value seems.
to be in them, But, after all, it 's
better to have too many books than
too few, and the man or woman•whq
starts rhe boy' or girl on the way to
enjoy : good reading is more of a -
benefactor,: perhaps, than even the
one who gives them bread when they
are hungry,
Parents in this country, the ordnl-
ery folk of Ontario, do not encourage
their children enough in this great
aid to self -education. They make
great sacrifices often to send them to
school but asid,e from school books,
they do not provide them with books.
Indeed, as often as not parents dis-
courage their children -from r�aaing,'
which they imagine to be n waste of
time. An English writer complains
that English_ people, while their plane
of living has been raised very much
during the past few 'years, spend far
too little on books. The same might
be said with truth of Canadians.
library - of any size -is the exception
in the homes of ordinarily well-to-do
people in Ontario; an expenditure of
910 per year on books is a rarity.
"But," again some one says, "In every
small centre there is a Public Library,•
we do not need to have one in the
house. - The choice in the Public Lib-
rary is much larger than we could
hope to have," " I agree. The' Public
Library is a wonderful boon and the
fact that every* small centre, almost
every community either has one
or
is trying to obtain one is a•very hope-
ful sign. It shows that people an
beginning to feel the need of books.
But the 'tome library is also a need
and it is a need that is beginning to
be felt more keenly. The trouble is
that the majority of people have not
got over the 'idea that a book is a
luxury. But even so, the radio is a
luxtu'y and yet many people have
the radio, If I were living in a lonely
con't'immity, dependent on myself for
entertainment, I should much rather
have a well -stocked library than a
radio, if I had to choose, between the
two, and 1 still think the radio is a
wonderful thing. But, when you turn
on your radio you must take what is
being broadcasted at the time; you
cannot pick and choose, and if the
offering does not fit in withqyour
mood you can either put up with it
or turn it - off. With a library' of
books you can choose the one which
fits your mood, you can open it when
you are ready and close it at your
own convenience. "Of the making of
books there is no end," said the writ-
er ages ago and to the'man or woman
who has acquired ,the reading habit
and has the means at band to feed
it, the clays or, evenings need never,
be lonely. Books become to them
like old friends, with whom they can
walk and talk and hold sweet coin-
munion.
