Take Over Bank Building
One of the most important trans-
actions of recent years in Exeter real
estate was consummated with the
announcement of the purchase of the
former Bank of Montreal building by
the Exeter Public Utilities Commis-
sion. Since the amalgamation, of the
Bank of Montreal and Canadian
Bank of Commerce businesses in the
latter premises some six months ago,
the Bank of Montreal has owned two
buildings, while the Public Utilties.
Commission has for a long period
been housed in small offices which
had become inadequate for their re-
quir'emeuts. Included in the sale are
the counters, vault equipment and
other fixtures formerly used by the
bank and it is expected that the
Commission will be able to take over
their new offices with a minimum of
alterations. Ample grounds are avail-
able for driveways, and garages.

Skunk Crawled Into Chopper
What would you do if a skunk got
into your roller chopper? That is
exactly what Ira Neill of Wroxeter
is wondering. Last week Ira had his
chopping operations held up but it
was not from a break down or from
any of the usual things that might
happen to retard such work. A
skunk, evidently a nosey fellow,
crawled in a hole in the chopper and
dropped down about four feet Imag-
ine Mr. Neill's surprise when he
found this out, The big question now
is how best to get the white streaked
animal out so that the work can pro -
teed.—Wingham Advance -Times.

One of Tuck Sisters
Struck on Highway—
The following from the Palmerston
Observer will be of interest as the
Tuck sisters have appeared in this
district and endeared themselves to
their audiences by their Charming
personalities and excellent programs.
Saturday evening at about 8 o'clock,
Marylen, Four-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tuck, Minto Town-
ship, ran into the side of the Hanover
Coach bus which was 'coming north
heavily loaded with passengers. She
was knocked heavily to the pave
ment, but miraculously escaped being
run over by the rear wheels. The
driver of the bus is said to have had
no chance to avoid the accident be-
cause if he had swerved further he
would have hit parked cars the other
side of which more children were at
play. Marylen did not lose conscious-
ness, although when she was rushed
to Palmerston it was found she had
suffered a compound fracture of the
skull, one above the eye and the
other near the back Of her head
where the' scalp had been tiro con-
siderably, Her little body was black
and blue from head to feet, There is
every indication that she wil make a
complete recovery.

FARM STORED GRAIN
As large quantities of grain are at
present stored on farms, it is very
important that the grain be examined
from time to time to make sure that
it is not infested with mites. Usually
development takes place most rapid-
ly in grain which carries an excess
of moisture, The mites feed on deb-
ris, dust, and wheat hairs, as well as
on the germ end and crease of ' the
kernel. As a result of their feeding,
the mites give off carbon dioxide and
water following digestion, and the
moisture Content is thus increased.
When this reaches a point somewhat
in excess of 15.5 per cent, the mass
of the grain starts to heat, and if not
properly handled, serious loss may
occur, Frequent inspection it a safe-
guard, If infestations are found, they
should be reported at once to the Do-
minion Entomologist, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, for
further advice.

CWNA Convention
Sound appraisal of the merits of
free enterprise and a warning that
wartime controls must be relaxed as
soon as possible after the war, were
included in an address by Walter P.
Zeller, of Montreal, given at the op-
ening luncheon of tire- Canadian
Weekly Newspapers Association con-
vention in Toronto on Thursday,
August 12. Mr, Zeller is president of
Zeller's Limited, and has served vol-
untarily with the Department of Na-
tional War Services and the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board.
The real cause of the present war-
time prosperity, with jobs for every-
one and high earnings, was not, he
said, the result of government con-
trol, but rather the result of govern-
ment spending. The products of our
war industries and of field, forest
and mine commanded an unlimited
market, a market dictated by the un-
limited demands of war, a market
largely heedless of costs, a market
unparallelled in peacetime,
Mr. Zeller lauded the achieve-
ments of Canadian troops overseas
and said "if you want to find Nation-
al unity, .you will find it -in the fir-
ing line."
Our fighting men, he said, would
not let us down and we must not fail
them. Our task is to do our very
best to help win the war.
Speaking of the kind of a country
we would want after the war, Mr.
Zeller said that freedom, as, -the in-
dispensable condition of all progress,
would be a unanimous demand. The
opportunity for work for all men
was not possible otherwise. "Finally
we want a land where, without loss
of freedom or the restriction of op-
portunity, the weak and the unfort-
unate will not fail to secure the arm
of protection."
He quoted Winston Churchill's
warning "We must beware of trying
to build a society where nobody
counts for anything except the poli-
tician or official, a society where en-
terprise gains no reward and thrift
no privileges."
Defining "private enterprise," the
'speaker said it meant the "freedom
accorded to private persons, either
singly, in partnerships or ni groups,
to engage in any business undertak-
ing that they may choose, within the
limit of the laws and regulations en-
acted in the general welfare, on the
expectation that if the undertaking
prospers they may reap the rewards
of their initiative; and on the under-
standing that if the undertaking
fails, they will bear the consequent
losses. It means•a society free from
those artificial restrictions, either by
the state nor by monopoly, which pre-
vent any person Who dares to take
the risk, from setting forth on new
economic voyages 'of discovery, It
means a society whose future is not
limited to the course charted by
some feuhrer at the top."
He stressed, too, that "private en-
terprise does not ,mean the same
thing as laissez-faire, any more than
liberty means licence. There is no
need to. deny the blessings of liberty
to all in order•to restrain. the licence
of a few."
Private enterprise, he asserted,
was essential for political freedom;
and in support he outlined the re-
sults of economic regimentation
throughout'• history and particularly
in the world today. He described the
regimentation of German Nazism
and Italian Fascism under which a
citizen was reduced to the level of a
slave, deprived even of the right to
'think'• for himself. The Russian
Communist system,. he stated, was
more honest in its approach, but its
economic dictatorship left no room
for political freedom. "We can ad-
mire the Russian people for their
constancy and courage in the defence
of their native land, without admit-
ing their politico -economic system,"
he said, adding that the Russion
people had good cause alio to ad -
orthodox Marxian principles in re-
warding the individual on the basis
of his productivity, "No society can
escape the basic fact that maximum
productivity can never .be achieved
without the time-honored induce-
ment of a greater profit for him w'ho.
produces more."
Comparing these to our own sys-
tem Mr. Zeller said: "No one plann-
ed the Dominion of Canada. It grew
from the untrammelled efforts of pi-
oneers who assumed risks in Bevel-
- oping a land which commanded their
unbounded faith. No government
controls presided over the industrial
revolution. No state controlled econ-
omy built the factories, laid the rail-
roads, launched the ocean liners, in-
vented and developed the electric
light, the telephone, the automobile
or the airplane."
These achievements, which he said
have gladdened the lives and illum-
inated
lluminated the horizons of countless mil-
lions, were the results of men work-
ing under the economic freedom of
private enterprise, spurred by the
desire to better themselves and their
fellow men, and stimulated by the
• profit incentive.
I "Under private enterprise has
1 been built here one of the highest
living standards in the world. It still
rises,"
To labour he warned: "Be on your
guard. A regimented economy must
include regimented labour." He not-
ed with a sense of alarm the sugges-
tion that the present manpower con-
trol should be continued as a peace-
time activity.
I The question of whether Canad-
ians were to be "dragooned into a
chain gang of economic regimenta-
tion" was not merely a scholastic
dispute for political economists, he
said, but "is a very practical issue
that concerns the life of every indi-
vidualco. "
In nclusion he told the editors:
"Few, however, bear havier respon-
sibilities than you gentlemen. Your
relation to the people you serve is
most intimate. You survive because
you are trusted. Your influence in
I the molding of public opinion has
long been appraised. I firmly believe
that upon you will depend, in large
measure, the final attitude of a host
of Canadians who ponder the post-
war Canada in which they live."
How To Examine
Farm Land Soil
In evaluating a farm property and
in estimating the chances of making
a satisfactory living from it, the nat-
ure of the soil, among other things,
must be given serious consideration,
state P. C. Stobbe and A. Leahey,
Field Husbandry Division, Dominion
Experimental Farms Service, in the
Farmers' Bulletin No. 117, "Guide for
the Selection of Agricultural Solis".
The first essential of success in
farming is to have a fertile soil that
is adapted to the crops which are to
be grown on it, However, in addition
to productivity, other factors relat-
ing to the soil, such as the cost of
tillage and other management opera-
tions, must be kept in mind. In order.
to help farmers, the main features
that should be observed in examining
farm land' are explained in the bull-
etin, covering in detail the examina-
tion itself, discussion of the eleven
soil zones of the Dominion, the vari-
ous - soils, local conditions to be ob-
served, depth, color, texture, struct-
ure, together with a diagram key to
soil classes and soil maps. of Eastern
Canada and the Prairie Provinces. A
