CASH PRICE OF SPEED A car capable of getting 18 miles out of a gallon of iasoliihe. when driven 30 miles an hour, for exam- ple, will got only 16.4 to the gal_ ton, according to the bureau figures,. when pushed up to 40 miles an hour. At 50 miles an hour the sante car will get 14.6 nines to the gallon, at 60 miles au hour it will get 12.6 miles, at 70 miles an hour it will get 10.6 miles and at 80 miles an hour it will get 8.6 miles per gallon. In addition to this, nearly seven times as nhuc'i oil is used tip at 55 miles an hour as at 30 miles an hour. These , are facts well deserving of publicity. -- Hamilton Spectator. TAKING NO CHANCES The building, upon which *300,000 was spent tor a Boy Scout jamboree at \Vashington are being torn down. This follows the order of Peesident Roosevelt who cancelled an event at which 30,000 lads from all over the world were expected. The reason was that over 100 cas- es of infantile paralysis have occur- red in the nearby State of Virginia since Juire 1, and the danger of in- fection wet: thought to be too great. The present occupant of the White House was :'_himself the victim of such an attack when he was 313 years ot age and prior to that he had been a great all round athlete. — Brantford Expositor. FARMERS OF PEEL COUNTY ARE BUYING The Conservator has good news about the farmers of Peel County. It :states that according to au actual survey farm implement sales in Brampton this year have exceeded sales for any of the last fifteen years. Even the boom years following the Great War and talose preceeding the depression did not produce the vol- ume of business that has been hand- led so far this season, More than 50 new binders have been sold and mare than two score rebuilt machines. One dealer sold two new threshing ma- ehine s this week and a wide range of small cultivators. "Most noticeable," says the Con- servator, "is the strong feeling of confidence both on the part of dealers and purchasers. The heavy volume of sales can only be taken as an indi- cation of general improvement ot conditions throughout the Dominion and more particularly in the County of Peel." It adds that while. in many instances, farmers have had to ar- ranee for easy payment terms until their crop revenue begins, it would be surprising if the Conservator were to disregard the confidence of infor- mants and reveal how mcury were not only prepared to insist but insist- ed ripen conducting deals on a cash basis.

Is Cut.—Yields Vary In Different Parts Of Province Regina—Despite frost and rust little material change has taken place in Saskatchewan's general crop situation during the past two weeks, according to reports received by the statistics branch of the provincial department of agriculture. Only a small amount of grain has been threshed but expectations of yield show a wide variations not only in different districts but in different parts of the same area.

THE EMPIRE KILLING THE OLD AND THE YOUNG Bad as the slaughter on the roads continues to be, we 00 not think there is any ground for the gloomy view that the safety campaign is more or less played out. It takes a long time to build up the habit of self-protec- tion amid the dangers of the road. The fact that fatalities and injuries are below those of last year is pretty convincing proof that safety habits are gaining ground, and there is no good reason whatever for be- lieving the improvement has ceased. „Boys and girls never make a Indeed, the Ministry of Transport's mistake about the psychology of analysis of accidents by age -groups their teacher, any more than a horse indicates once again where education is deceived about its driver."—Abbe and propaganda should. h d i i 1 be directed wheat cutting. In eastern districts 70 to 80 per cent. has been cut. Tak- ing the province as a whole about 60 per cent. of the wheat and 40 per cent. of the coarse grains have been cut. In south . eastern central and southern areas `"bread" wheats range from poor yields of low grade grain to practically complete failures due to rust. Durum wheats have suffered to a lesser extent. The northern district is also heavi- ly infected with rust and poor yields with greatly lowered grade are ex- pected. Infection becomes lighter to- wards the northern portion of the east central district. In the west central district pro- longed. drought has reduced the crop to little better than "feed and seed" but some fair crops are still in pros- pect in the easterly and northerly sections of the west central district. Some injury from frost is feared. Crops vary widely in north western areas from poor to good. Damage by the early frost is also anticipated at points in this district. Coarse grains are reported in good condition and good yields particularly of oats are expected.

Bose Pollen, Washington. — Mining at a bigger and better Army and Navy in 1936, the U. S. Government will spend on the two services a sum equiva- lent to about $6,35 for each man, wo- man and child in the country. Revised figures, including military funds in the second deficiency bill, increase total appropriations for na- tional defence by the present Oon- gre•s to $806,446,829. This $458,684,- 379 goes to the Navy, and $347,762,-' 450 to the Army. The Navy's 1936 appropriations are an increase of $174,000,000 over 1935,' while the Army is gutting $97,000, 000 more than last year. Analysis ot the appropriations show that for the increased expenditure of approximately $271,000,000 the Army, and Navy will get more men, more airplanes, more warships, and some new equipment. HIGHER COSTS Officials said, however, that a colt.' siclerablo part of the incr'eatecl cost of maintaining Army and Navy has been made necessary by higher costs of living and equipment, and restora- tion of pay cuts. Nearly $121,000,000 has been allot- ted for continuing construction of 62 vessels now being built, and laying keels of 24 more warships. About $23,000,000 alas been earmarked for beginning work on 15 destroyers, 51 submarines', 2 light cruisers, and one aircraft carrier. To buy new planes the Navy gots $26,700,00 — an increase of $20,500,- 000 over last year. Officers said the remainder of the' Navy's increase will be absorbed by enlistment of 10,000 more "gobs"— increasing man -power to 92,500—ands in higher prices for most everything the Navy eats, wears, uses, or does.l Australian Wheat Exports • Increased 32.7 Per Cent.
