A sheeting was recently called there to discuss the advisability of paving the main business street in the town. The scheme was op- posed by leading business men, be- cause the town already has a de - Venture debt of $247,724,55 besides a floating debt of $21,000. The meeting decided that the ratepayers had already burden enough to carry and could wait for the paving until the present debt was reduced, I # GENERAL OBSERVATIONS 1 By W. H. How nice it is these tnornings to haer the robins singing "Love's Old Sweet Sous.."

For our part, we hold to the "Faith of our fathers! holy faith!" which is the faith of the Fauzdamentalists. And here we would say that we have, not the pleasure of being acquainted with His Holiness, the Pope, but if we had, we would give him a hearty hand shake, be. cause that he excommunicated a professor for teaching Modernist doc- trine in a theological institution in Italy. aro Some people feared that when the hard smooth pavement on Goderich and Main street was clear of snow, and icy weather conditions prevailed, that our equine friends would have a hard job to keep on their feet; in fact it was feared that many would have serious falls. So far, however, the fears of these people have not been realized. Well, the winter is about o and gone, the time of the siging birds is come but just as sure as t seasons succeed each other, wint will come around again in d course; and glad we are that there a prospect of the people of Outer being able to keep themselves war next winter with Alberta coal. T authorities at Ottawa are moving the matter, and in a few:weeks w may expect that hundreds and thou ands of cars of coal will be speedin over the 2,200 miles between Alber and Ontario. This is only commo sense, for surely it is the extrem of folly for a people who have on sixth of the world's coal reserve their own territory to be spendin millions in a foreign country for thi commodity. How natural when speaking o +coal to think about the men wlto mine i it• and the question tion q naturally 11 a y arises s m our minds, why are the coal .miners and their employers so --; frequently at strife? Is it because i, coal miners of all working men are ''l the most exorbitant in their demands, or because their rem�utieratioe and their living conditions are the most wretched and deplorable. Whateverthe` cause of this disagreement, it is widespread, for we find it operating •10 England, Scotland and Wales, in Canada, and moat of all in that paradise of the oppressed and the down -trodden, the United States. Just now the storm center is in the coal fields of Nova Scotia: Here we are told by prominent laymen, by the Roman Catholic bishop 'of Antigon-: ish, and by high dignitaries of the Church of England, men whose word cannot be doubted, the miners and cs mei hying in condition, ofindescribabletvreirht•duez:, and poverty, is till, the res'uit of capitalistic greed? 11 �,, wont l it wit be well to nui:nrt nil hstilh"i; sinnariso •fiots •China aiiri ti r 1, tis C ht t,a Japan to u; flow to use our fellow men? ver of he er ue is fo he n e s g to 0 e e rn g s • • HURON ' NEWS. .

A consultation of the crop statis- tics in possession of the Department of Agriculture reveals the fact that Western Ontario contributed over 75 p.c. of the total production of clover and grass seeds for the Dominion in 1923. For 1924 an equally targe per- centage may 'be expected, In addition to this, the spring of 1925 finds us with an exceptionally fine supply of oats and wheat, This would indicate that a sufficient quantity of seed is available .for our home use. Where ice the problem? Jo _ the. selection t' C (Oil OI seed t iderations always no con y present a peah- ens to the farmer. These are the uitahility of the variety and the ;rade Except in the case of a crop 1 which the number of varieties in se is limited to one or two, the nrmer is extremely important, For ears, our experimental farms and tations have tested and selected all -nowtt varieties of our common raps. As a result, vast improve - ems are evident in some varieties as it is shown definitely that cer- in others are not suited to -aur soil id climatic tdi o c i ' i tOn5. Of those at thrive in our temperate clime e, further selection is sometimes desir- le according to local requirements. It is eery unusttal to find that . a or variety has become beZ one a favorite vo rte any district. A growing realization this is, 110 doubt, developing a eference for homegrown seed. For stance, it would be very difficult sell a southern grown variety of alfa to the farmers in Peel nuty, This preference for On- io grown alfalfa. seed is spread - throughout the province and as a suit, this excellent forage crop is owing successfully in places that re previously considered' ttnsuit e. s it u f y c me a to at th a ab t0 1 in of pr in t0 all Co tar ing re gr abi Could Hardly Live for Asthma, writes on man who afar years of suffering has found complete relief Through Dr. J.

Why Babies "Die! It is nice to stand at the head of the list when the project is a good one, but to have the 'heaviest death rate among children up to two years odd of any city in America is nothing to be proud of. That is Canada's metro - polls uneviu'ble 'position as told at the recent Ayrshire banquet by Dr. F, _M. Fry, secretary of the Cert'ified Milk Commission of Montreal, who is an eminent baby doctor specialist, The British Isles or Southern Europe had Iso such toll taken of her 'babies. We .had to go to the worst condition of Russia and India to find like com- parisons, In a voice, quiet and thoughtfully sad Dr, Fry said that of every 100 babies in 'Montreal re- corded at birth 15 of that number were reported dead before the age THE SEAFORTH NEWS of 2 years. The nate is really, higher, for in 'a large city 11Ire'Montrea1 anarciy babies are born and die without be; ing officially reported. This awful death rate is mainly due to two cause's. -fqo many moth- ers fail to nourish c their herr infants. The baby is throwing up its milk an fg» norant neighbor conies ,in and says the mother's milk is not agreeing with the child. The baby is 'weaned and given seine one of the 'many patent "baby food's that should be warranted to kill instead of cure, But this .slaughter of the in- nocents is mainly due to the alarm- ingly poor quality of milk Montreal receives: In Dr. Fry's opinion the best remedy would be to have all milk graded and paid for accord- ing to not merely its butter fat content, but what is of far greater importance 'its low 'bacterial count and 5x-eed•otn'from toxins. Montreal gets three grades of milk. A limit- ed of ceittified nulik is m Emit- tektite Mercrosupplyft Farris, -at Dorval, near Montreal. This mills its from ac- credited cotes and is produced in the most sanitary condition. This adds to the cost of production, but the milk readily sells for 25c a quart. 'Pasteurized milk is presumably the next best, 'but pasteurization may be used as a death trap for the tiny 'babies. Much of the milk is often from 24 'to 48 hours old before it reaches the retailer's pasteurizing plant. From the tinge 'tile milk has been d'ra'wn from the oow the germs have :been active until- the milk fair- ly abounds with then and the poison ous hi -products they have thrown off. Pasteurization kills the germs but it does not destroy the toxins and many a baby as 'being daily fed on • Horses :: eattie Thursday, April 9th, 1925 Under the Auspices of the Seaforth Agricultural Society.
