Wks 'should' think the march to London would indicate that you must not take the hunger story too seriously either. It is said that Japan seeks 'a for- eign war to avoid internal strife. This strategy has worked on occasions, but the advantage was only tempor- ary even when the strategy itself was a success. Success in a foreign war pry delays and make more diff1a cult the curing of domestic ills. Things never tura out just as well as we expect. The United States government thought that huge reven- ues would flow into the treasury when prohibition was repealed, and Canadian distillers . thought 'a new market would open which they could not 'supply. They' have bean disap- pointed. The .customs duty of $5 a gallon and a state tax of $2.00 plus other charges, made the selling price so high that the legitimate trade can not compete against the bootleg traf- fic in moonshine, which has a clien- tele solidly established by "thirteen. years of prohibition. The administ- ration is spending millions to stop the outlaw trade but with little effect. Tim Healy said that when John Dillon married he doubled the num- ber of his admirers. This is a var- iant of the old newspaper jibe, "Out esteemed contemporary doubled his subscription list this week -be got a new subscription."' Recently a gentleman .died who had occupied a high public Position but bad' fallen, and the newspapers' told all about his crime, his trial, his sentence and incarceration. Could not these things have been omitted? He was supposed to have paid the pen- alty, but apparently not. A portion of it, was reserved for bis widow and children. A magazine- oontri'putor,, says, ;that Solomon was the first to demonstrate silver and establish the gold standard and for confirmation refers us to 1 Kings, Chap. 10. We have read the chapter 'and while it shows Solomon storing in Jerasulem all the gold he could lay his hands on, yet there is nothing to show that he issued cur- rency against it ` or -allowed the banks, or goldsmiths, of his day to do it. The Chairman of the Canadian Radio Commission has many qualifi- cations for the post, but lacks only experience—he has never been leader of a choir. * * * The Secretary of the League of Social Reconstruction who in a Sun- day broadcast contrasted to the dis- advantage of Canada, what has been done ih the United States would do well to wait and see, Mr. ,Roosevelt's scheme is atilt in the experhnenta stages and, at any rate, it is a ven- ture Canada could nob afford.

I'll tell you now and make you wiser The reason why is this, old top, The first one was a fertile Iie, sir, Labor strikes and rioting in the United States indicate an abundant lack of gratitude among the unions now embarrassing the administration that did so much for them. Under N.R.A. codes they get better wages, better hours, collective bargaining besides other advantages and were. able to increase their membership by a million, according to one report. The joke is on him who makes fun of U.

Just the same it must' be awk- ward to be 'sarin to fight and yet not know whom to fight. Still that can be decided later on. Eventuali- ties come to those who are ready for them, because that's what they are ready for and that's why they are ready, if you know what we mean. Italy is not the only country that feels, or rather talks, that way. The confidence thus expressed is the cel- ophane wrapper around fear, mis- trust and a sense of Insecurity. Sir Herbert Bolt is President or tt Canadian bank yet he affirmed that he never personally borrowed from a bank. He has missed some of the experience vouchsafed to those who did'borrow or try, and who were ask- ed -dhow much do you want? Don't you think you could do with less? How long do you want it for? What do you want it for? Who is your endorser? Is he any good?

A Word To Correspondents—The object of all correspondents should be to give news. The paper is published; as a newspaper, not for'the purpose of exhibiting petty spleen or getting a "drive" at this or that person . . We want news and nothing else.

In. the worst game of baseball ever prepetrated ;before the long-suffering sporting :public of this town "Jack - eon's Jocular Jugglers" went down to defeat before "Doherty's Dainty Dogers." The official scorers, M'essra, W. Hamblyn and G. Doherty, were removed to the hospital in the sev- enth inning, suffering from; abed at- tack of brain fever, and though the adding maehine of the Royal Bank was hastily secured It was not equal to the occasion and so the score is lost for all time. The game was spectacular in the extreme, Doherty,. Alexander and .Johnson, the big lea- gue stars, were outclassed completely by their team mates. Will and Gus Collyer, the only baseball twins In captivity, did themselves proud..: The outfield of both teams made many wonderful near catches, and once, when Connie reaIIy held one, he almost burst into fears. Edgar East looked sweetly pretty in his Richard III costume and the dainty way in which Jimmy' Finch at first base stopped the ball with his feet was very taking. Providence and the person of Joel oneowswoomownemoarae McLeod made some sensational. stops .... The ladies from the grand stand soon gathered around third base, which is not to be wondered at when it is considered that 11. Fremlin•' and Baldy Wilken, those peerless knights of the diamond,' were playing that difficult corner. .Baldy suffered the only accident of the game when he had his hair •badly mussed in the fifth inning when trying, to stop a grounder with his ear. We •cannot lay down the pencil without mentioning the fine work of Willie Judd, the Boy Wonder, who held his opponents down to less than twenty runs in the inning he pitched Webb MGConnell umpired the game and he has been under police protec- tion ever since and each of some eighteen young men hope to meet him some. night after dark. The sequell to this match will be played on Saturday afternoon at the park, when the gates will be locked and nobody admitted ,but the players, attendants and doctors,' From, The New Era, June 3rd, 1909: June, the month of roses and brides; is here.

REFORESTATION We have heard so often that we are depleting our forests so when we read an article on how Mono Township had a systematic plan of reforesta- tion we decided to pass the informa# tion along. This township, near Orangeville planted ,this year: 30,000 small pine trees on a reforestation plot that it. has on the fifth line of the Township, A systematic system of planting iras been carried on over a period of ten years, and . they now have 150,000 trees in the plot, Trees that were. planted ten years ago are now 10 to 15feet in height. I£ this reforestation plan is carried on as planned it will be continued um: tit 1,000,000 trees are planted, The Government each year supplies farmers trees free for planting on land that is unsuitable for cultiva. tion, or for wind -breaks. Many have availed themselves of this yearly of- fer, ffer, but the above example shows what can be accomplished by system atie planting. —Wing$am Advance -,Times: COLLIE DOG HAUNTS VICINITY OF OLD HOME Talk about instinct, . but here is a story of a knowing collie dog belong- ing to, Mr, George Greve, who. moved from a farm in Logan in March lo a farm near Seaforth, a distance of sixteen miles.

Now with the storm of economic hardship and depression passing and Ontario business safely headed towards the harbor of better times, it is being suggested to the people. of Ontario that they transfer Ontario's resources from the capable hands which piloted them safely through one of the greatest financial crises in the world's history. It is being suggested to the province that it should remove from the experienced hands of the Henry administradon the trusteeship of its agriculture, its forests, its mines and its varied industries. The voters are being given a suggestion that they should transfer their billions of dollars of assets. eel ONTARIO CANNOT AFFORD TO EXPERIMENT The province needs the constructive, courageous program to which the Conservative Government is pledged, Signed: THE LIBERAL -CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO.
