Do Farmers Read
.Advertisements?
A survey was made recently by a.
prominent Life Insurance Company
in the United States which revealed
that farmers show twice as much
interest in the advertising in the
nwespaper, as do city people.
This survey, based on .personal
•
interviews with 885 people, 91 of
whom were farmers, showed that
where as only 20 per cent of the
entire group stated that they read
newspaper advertising thoroughly, 43
per cent of the farmerssaid that
they read the advertising in news -
It is interesting to note that 43
per cent of the farmers also said
that they read the inside news pages
thoroughy, indicating that the ad-
vertising is of just as great interest
to hem as the news conteut of the
paper. - The interest among farmers
in advertising was far greater than
any other group. Twenty-nine per
eent of the city housewives said that
they read theadfertising in news-
papers thoroughly and only 21 per
cent of the laborers, 15 per cent. of
the white collar workers and 10 per
Cent of the students admitted read-
ing the advertising with the thor-
oughness with which farmers read it.
Another question asked by the
company covered the subject of Want
Ads, and again it was found that
therea
w s much greater interest
among farmersin this advertising
than among any other group; Fifteen
per cent of the total group said that
they read the Want Ads thoroughly,
but 32 per cent of the farmers' inter-
viewed said the same thing.
Since the great majority of farm-
ers read a weekly newspaper while
city -dwellers read a daiy paper, it
can be assumed that this crosa-sec-
tion is a fairly good indication of
the comparative interest in advertis-
ing in weeklies as compared with
dailies.
TWO SPECIAL OFFICERS TO
GUARD COUNTY ROADS
At a meeting of the county road
committee it was decided to put two
part-time traffic officers on county
roads during March and April to en-
force regulations regarding weight
of loads transported over the roads.
During April and March the legal
load is aloe -half the licensed load..
With wagons it is 250 pounds to the
inch of tire, including the weight of
the wagon.
STATE CANADA'S STAN
HON. R- J. MANION
Without beating around the bush l
Hon. R. J Manion made clear his'
stand on Monday as he reviewed his'
attitude toward Hitler's ambitions.1
"Today the whole matter sof personal
liberty and particularly the institu-�
tion of democracy are at stake. I
say it is time for the democracies 1
of the world, for the United King-
dom, France, United Statds, the'
British dominions, the . smaller nes-'
tions and all others throughout the'
world who want to stop this mad'
ambition of Hitler's to stand together 1
and make it clear that they are
standing together morally at any'
rate. I am not tailing war, but it
seems to me that the only way we i
can stop war is to show that there
is a. solid front against all the
democratic civilized Christion people
of the world against the attempts of
this man to dominate the whole
world. I believe in the democratic'
people of the world presenting a un-
ited front, not only the ones I have
named but others who wish to join,
in bringing this man Hitler to his
senses. Such a solid front might
possibly halt his mad career."
PRIME MINISTER KING
1
r
"We have witnessed this past week
the wanton and forcible occupation
by Germany of the greater part of
what remained of the Czecho-Slovak
republic.. ,Following :this example
whether or not with German's ap-
proval, Hungary has occupied the
remaining fragment, small, but rac-
ially and strategically important"
said Prime Minister King as he ad
dressed the House of Commons on
Monday on the international . situa-
tion•
Regarding the attitude of Canada
he said in part: "If there were a
prospect of an aggressor launching
,an attack on Britain, I have no doubt
what the decision of the Canadian
people and Parliament would be. We
would regard it as an act of aggres-
sion menacing freedom in all parts of
the British Commonwealth. I think
I say with no less sincerity than Mr.
Chamberlain that there is scarcely
anything I would not sacrifice for
peace, but, like Mr. Chamberlain,
there is one thing I must except, and
that is the liberty which we enjoy
and which we will never surrender.
I believe this is the feeling of every
Canadian."
SURE! LET 'EM PAY
(Woodstock Sentinel -Review)
Discussing a possible increase in
gasoline tax, Premier Hepburn re-
vives the familiar argument that
"those who use the roads •should
pay for them." Good! Why not allow
them to do so? Motor taxation has
been sufficient to cover all highway
outlay, capital and ordinary, through-
out the years, but much of it has
been used for general purposes, while
all the money for building highways
has been borrowed and we still owe
it.
WOMAN TRANSIENT PAYS
VISIT TO w N i v ER
It is ' not uncommon for Hanover
to be visited by male "knights of
the road" who stop overnight or for
a meal while on their way from no-
where to nowhere, but a new ex-
perience is said to have faced Chief
Meyer the other day when a woman
appeared at the police office and
asked for a ureal ticket and for a
bed for the night. As the cells were'
otherwise in use, and there seemed
no place for the woman to go, the
officials decided: to have her spend
the night in a local boarding house,'
.After being also served with break-
fast there, she went on her way. The:
willingness with which she would
have stayedin the cells during the:
night, had they not been occupied,
would indicate that she was not the
letldt bit worried over spending a
night in the same manner as do the
men transients.
WHAT •� DO YOU WANT?
{ It is lack of fixed purpose that
causes men to drift. It is lack of a
definite aim that is responsible for so
much of the inefficiency that is found
on 'every side today.
Unless you know just what, you
wish to do—just what you wish- to
be—just what you wish to have-
'you will find it impossible to make
any material progress toward your

ORIGIN. OP TIIE BATON
Once a Means of Chastisement
For Unruly Choir. Boys
Ludwig Spohr, farnour violinist,
conductor, and composer, who is
known to the general publicchiefly,
by his "Last Judgment" ' oratorio,
was the first to use a baton for
conducting a large orchestra in Eng-
land. But,, like Safonoff, who be-
came famous twenty or twenyt-five
years ago as the man who conducted,
without a baton, he was 'simply re-
viving in a more convenient form an
old custom.
The use of the baton is, in fact, a
very ancient one, though the manner.
of its use has varied. It probably
arose from the fact that in the targ-
er churches and especially on great)
occasions, the director • of the 'choir
hacl a staff of office, something like
a Bishop's crozier, but with a differ -
eat head. This he held in his left
hand, 'while directing the singers with
the right.
Now and then, however, he had
to recover the attention of his sing-
ers, when he would stamp on the
floor with his staff, doing the same
thing also on occasion to keep them'
together. In later times, when boys
began to take part in the singing, he
used it as a means of 'chastisement,'
and gradually transferred it entire-
ly to the right hand.
We may therefore say that both_
conducting with a baton and conduct-
ing without one carie from the same
LOOK OUT FOR A MAP
SALESMAN
In a circular letter issued by the
Ontario Associated Boards of Trade
and Chambers of Cbmmerce, busi-
nessmen and organizations are warn-
ed against being "taken in" by a
man who says he is going to print
maps of various communities, show
the location of business houses, etc.,
on the maps and tries to sell aver -
Using space on the map to business
houses and individuals.
The circular letter says the man
collects money for the advertising
and for the "location" on the map
and "then decamps."
The circular letter says his idea
is a good one but he does not carry
it out once he has sold the advertis-
ing and map location space. The
man had some success in victimizing
people in Kingston and Peterborough
and the letter serves as a warning
to watch for him should. he try to.
repeat the performance.
NEW POSTMASTER FOR
HARRISTON
Archibald Little McCready has re-
ceived official aunouncentent from
Ottawa . of:. his appointment as post-
master of Hariston, succeeding his
father, the late Robert Alexander
McCready, who died a year ago. The
appointment holds particular interest
in that this is the third generation
of McCreadys to hold the position' of
postmaster there.
In 1859 Alexander • McCready was
appointed postmaster of. Harriston
in the earliest days of the settle-
ment of Minto :Township. At that
time mail wasreceived twice a week
from Guelph via stage coach, for
there was no railway line north of
that place.
In 1905, Mr. McCready resigned
and was succeeded by his eldest son,
Robert Alexander McCready, whose
service in the office began in 1885.'
Prior to his" appointment he served
in the post office of Ayton, Guelph
and Galt. At the time of the 25th
anniversary of the reign of Ring
George V, Mr, McCready received a
jubilee medal in honor of his 58 years
of public service.
His only son, Archibald Little
McCready, began his training nnd.er
the guidance of his father at the
age of 17, after having served for
one year in the Canadian Bank .of
Commerce. Shies his father's death;'
Mr. McCready has been in charge of
the post office, and in June of lash:
!year, he was appoinitecl acting post
ecclesiastical methods. anaster.
WIIAT MAKES A DEPRESSION
—A PARABLE.
"There was a pian who lived -by
the side of the road and he sold...hot
dogs. IIe ws hard of hearing so, he
had no radio. He had trouble with
his eyes so he read no newspapers.
But he sold good hot dogs. He put
signs up on the highway teIIing how
good they were. He stood on the
side of the road and cried: `Buy a
hot dog, mister?' And people bought.
He increased his meat and bun ord-
ers. He bought a bigger stove, to
take care of his trade. He finally
got his son home from college to
help him.
"But then something happened.
His son said, 'Father, haven't you
been listening to the radio? Haven't
you been seating the newspapers?
There's a big depression. The Euro-
pean situation is terrible. The do-
mestte situation is worse. Everything
mestic situation is worse. Every-
thing's going to pot' •
"Whereupon the father thought,
'Well, my son's been to college, he
reads the papers and he listens to
the radio, and le ought to know.'
So the father cut down on his meat.
and bun orders, took down his adver-
tising signs and no longer bothered
to stand out on the highway to sell
his hot dogs. And his hot dog sales
fell almost overnight,
" 'You're right, son,' the father
said to the boy. 'We certainly are in
the middle of a great depression.' "
USE LIQUOR PROFITS TO
BALANCE BUDGET
To help balance Ontario's budget
in the fiscal year ending March 31,
1939, Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn,
as provincial treasurer, received
$10,500,000 from the Liquor Control
Board of Ontario.
The figure was shown in the
Board's report tabled in the legis-
lature. Paid on account of • profits
was .$9,975,00 and on account of per-
mits, $525,000.
Total legal sales in Ontario of
beer, wine and spirits increased $4,-
895,767 to $51,005,688, the increase
being 10.6 per cent. Sales increased
in everything but imported wines.
WINGHAM POSTAL CLERK DIES
Suffering a . stroke shortly after
dinner, on Thursday, R. S. McGee,
clerk at the Wingham post office,

parent good health for the,past num-
ber of weeks. Born in East Wawa -

SOB SISTERS ARE ACTIVE
AGAIN
(Bracebridge Gazette)
The effeminate sob sisters have
come to life again. You will remem-
ber they were in evidence afew years
ago when King George Fifth cele-
brated his Silver Jubilee.. They in-
duced the Government to grant a par-
don " to many prisoners. Hosts of
them were released in Canada and
it cost the country hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to round them all up
again after their great spree of rob-
beries and such work. You will re-
member how they kept sobbing anti'
they got the release of Red Ryan.
Ryan was such a lovely man, said
these long pantsed sisters. It was
just too bad to keep him shut up
at Kingston, so they got him out. He
may not have committed any crime
the first hour he was free but it was
not many hours. Meantime they were
telling their Sunday School classes
all about Red Ryan, the angel man.
So it went on with one 'crime after
another being committed that baffled
the police. Then a gang was caught
right in a robbery and in th,e shoot-
ing match that followed Red Ryan,
the leader of the gang, lay dead. Now
that King George the Sixtli. is coming
to Canada these same sob sisters are
suggesting that he pardon all crim-
inals in the prisons of the Dominion.
CANNOT HOLD OFFICE WHEN
IN ARREARS OF TAXES
A case of general interest to muni-
cipalities and ratepayers was decided
in Halton. At the annual meeting
of S. S. No. 2, in Nassagawaya, ob-
jection was taken by scone ratepay-
ers to two of trustees, Messrs. Woods
and Bruce, holding • office because
they were a number ,of years in ar-
rears for taxes. The trustees, how-
ever, did -not resign. Messrs Holmes
and Currie, ratepayers in the sec-
tion, peessed the case sfor. a ruling
and it wed heard before County
Judge Munro, in Milton, on February
9th. His ruling ,was that Messrs
Woods and Bruce could not hold of-
fice. The positions were declared
vacant and the costs were assessed
against the defendants.

NEAR PANIC AT STUDIO
Last week's experiments with
sound -effects for Lame Sieveking's
play, "The Wings of the Morning',
led to near -panic in the CBC's Tor-
onto studios around 4.30 one morn-
ing. The play called for some of
the most elaborate technical effects
ever used in Canadian radio -drama
production. It was found that the
very best spat for the outlet of the
echo -chamber was the back stairs
leading to a storage room. Rehears-
als and experiments ran on into the
night and finally all was set to re-
cord the last piercing shriek of the
demented hero. A lone watchman
pushed open the doorway into the
passage just as the echo -chamber re-
produced the blood -chilling cry. What
the watchman said when he recov-
ered from the shock was not record -
sures ise mounted the usually placid
brow of the night -janitor. The nor.-{
turnal visitors were the Rev. Father
George E. Nunan and the Rev. Path -

producer, in the preparation of e
post -Coronation programme in can-
e taon with the mw Pope's crown-
ing. Throughout the long hours dur-
ing the .direct -from -Rome broadcast,
the two reverend fathers made notes
and directed` the recording of the
most' impressive parts of the Gere-
monies so that the rebroadcast, which
was scheduled for presentation over
the Corporation's nation-wide net-
work .on Sunday afternoon, would in-
clude all the important and colorful
aspects of the historical event. A
substantial breakfast was served at
four o'clock in the morning, and
studio officials indicate that the
clergy ;seemed completely at home to
the unusual surroundings.
