How often have you seen a blemish on the face of an otherwise beautiful woman, so noticeable that whenever you, looked at her, you could not keep your eye off the blemish? She might be wonderfuilygobrned, marvelously groomed and exquisitely coiffed, but try as, you Might, you could see only the mar. j The appeara%of anything either repels or invites ownership. Eighty per cent. of those things sold to -day are purchased through, or the purchase is influenced by, the eye. What a thing looks like, therefore, is extremely important in creating a desire in the minds of others for it. The appearance of a town is just ,as important as the appearance of a package, the appearance of a show window, clothing, or anything that is purchased in the store or on the market. Why do they put colored picture wrappers on cans of beans, corn and tomatoes—it doesn't make the contents of the can any better. Why do asutomobile menufac),urers spend so much time, care and money on the ex- terior appearance of the motor car—it doesn't make the motor run any smoother or last any longer, or make the car ride any easier. Any package, even though the contents be unharmed, depreciates in value if the cover is spoiled, torn, or the least bit mutilated. Furniture with the least scratch; a stiit, though never worn, that has faded; a book with a broken cover; a shirt with a torn tail, are less than the best, and so sold at a discount. A perfect animal withskin blemish never takes the prize. Look around you and see all those things that are made to look attractive, in order that you may be attracted thereby—then, think of your town. The picture of many communities would serve for a puzzle picture of 60What's Wrong Here?" Stand back and take a good look at the picture of your own front yard, your store, your office building, your factory. Does it look good or are you half way ashamed of it? Are you proud of it, or do you apologize for the looks of it when company calls or people start talking about it? Selling a town—and to keep pace with modern times, it must be sold—is like selling anything else. Therefore, how your town looks is of vital im- portance. There are few towns that are not very much like the "otherwise beautiful woman" -e -their beauty is so marred by blemishes that the beholder cannot see the attractiveness for looking at the scars. Do your part—set an example by eliminating the scars, the blemishes of yogi corner and others will do likewise. It's poor business to allow the value of your community to be discounted by a poor appearance. Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.

We seem to be much clos- er to that eventful day than a week •' ago. Nothing moves our statesmen' more than sultry weather. Let the dog days come or May burst forth with rain and heat, then Statesmen on both sides think of other things and the end of the Parliamentary Session draws near. A week or so ago there was talk about holding on until something de- finite came forth out of Washington. Congress finally did bring .down ,-its tariff bill. It was not quite so bad as pessimists anticipated. The en- thusiasm for retaliation fell off a bit. Then there were other things in sight. Mr. Bennett made a speech in Lon- don. He wants to make more in that section of the country. Only a few days ago he went down to lyContreal and there prepared the ground by the selection of a Commit- tee to study the reasons why the Province of Quebec remains solid to the faith of Laurier and does not substitute therefore, the "Bennetian" analysis of our economic problem. These things are now occupying the attention of those who direct the forc- es of the Conservative Party. The state of mind of an Opposition is one of the great factors of determining the life of a Parliament. A govern- ment itself is always willing to get through its business and pass on to whatever happens to be next. When delays occur they are usually the re- sult of the desire of the Opposition to extend the life of the Session in order to see those things which lie hidden and which they would like to bring to' the light of day. The Weekly Grind. The House has cleared up a great deal of work during the past week. The heaviest of the estimates are through. Several of the votes of want of confidence have been disposed of. Rumour says that a couple more are coming. It is suggested that the Op- position will bring in an Amendment on going into supply on the Immigra- tion Estimates. The idea is to con- demn the Government for its suppos- ed failure to increase the population of the country. This may occupy a day or two of more or less aimless discussion. Then there is another in mind, some form of condemnation of the Govern- ment for lack of protection to agri- culture. This also is a subject which lends itself readily to a great deal of oratory and much avoidance of facts. Discussing the imports of agricultural products it is of course very easy to state them at any particular figure which you desire to state. Oranges are an agricultural product, so is cot- ton. so is rubber, so also is whiskey, when it comes to the classification laid down by the Depertinent of Com- merce and quite a correct classifica- tion because the favorite beverage of Scotland does after all, come nom grain. Any. man, by admitting These items into his classification, can throw terror into the hearts of the farmer by telling how great is the flood of foreign imports of agricultural pro- ducts. Analysed in the other way - that is by bringing out the competing products only the problem becomes much simpler. An excellent subject for dismission is one in which both sides earn state the truth without either of them getting very close to the facts. So we are likely to have a rather vigorous display of oratory up- on this question.. ¶!i o' !tans. During .tie put week, Mr. Robb's proposal for .taiin'dgraining etoeks came under aortae hat vigerons criti- cism. The treeibielay tan the fait that the lower priced issues were tau - ed ThigPier thfarri tie hl..la priced 'Mies. pacibly tinti. Wain tt dea..e t&ar rc',ar�rm ernment to take a strong moral posi- tion where the gambling which took place was in cheap stocks. Anyway, the high priced gambling favorites got away with less. However the proposals received very vigorous opposition and Malcolm Lang, a very good Liberal from the North, protested and voted against the Government on this issue. This of course is encouraging. It would be a charming thing if more members voted against the Government and if more members of the Opposition came out on certain occasions in support of the Government. Beyond question, there are many times when members of the Opposition -are in support of the Government's action on a particu- lar policy, but Party frenzy intervenes and although the individual member would like to express his honest thought. he hesitates to do so. The same is true upon the Government side of the House. British Preference. Another item which received crit- icism was the Government's imposi- tion on the 50 per cent. requirement under the British Preference. This arrangement demands that when goods are imported- under the British Preference they must consist of at least 50 per cent. of British Empire products or British labor. Now a difficulty arises; Great Britain is a free trade country, she gathers her raw materials from every part of the earth. She imports raw cotton from the United States, fabricates it in Great Britain with British labor, then sends it out to the markets of the world. Under the conditions which have been imposed, certain of these cotton goods will now be kept out. This will increase the price of cot- tons to some extent. The low tariff element naturally entered a protest. The protectionist element comes for- ward in keen support. What the Government is trying to do now is to work out an arrangement by which this clause will fall with somewhat less severity upon the British manu- facturer. The real ground upon which the Op- position to the Government's action might have been stated, was ignored by the House. It is well that in changes; of tariff Parliament should be the suprerhe authority. Where a clause such as this is put in force and is then subject to modification by the operating officials of the Depart- ment or by Order-in-Couneil, then we have to a certain extent, Government by Order -in -Council instead of Gov- ernment by Parliament and this, in matters of finance, is dangerous. The Opposition however, was not particu- larly vigorous and was in a large measure uninformed upon the issue, otherwise they might have made a much better presentation of the case. Our Railways. A very interesting question arises in connection with our railways. This was brought up by the Government's acquisition of a number of branch lines such as the Gaspe road and the Kent Northern and Inverness Railway. These branches are more or less "dead ends" which were left over when the Government acquired the National Railways. ' They are not paying. The Companies operating them are un- able to build efficiefit service because they are not in a finaneial position to do so. The Canadian Railways hesi- tate to take them over because they are not profitable, ' The people in these sections must have railway transportation. Now the problem is, what should be- done about it? These have been taken over by the Canadian National. Railways at a very low valuation. The statement in regard to the Gaspe Railway is that it was purchased at approximate- ly $17,500 per mile, which Would re- present about 50 per cent, or prob- ably considerably less than 50 per tent, of what its coat far corestrii e . tiers to -day. The original bondholders do not get very much out of their in- vestment and the stockholders get teething. But . will these reads pay the Canadian National Railway? Will they earn their operating expenses and interest? That is very doubtful TheGovernment is faced with the problem of providing the people who are living. along these lines with trans- portation—that must be done. It would seem that the logical metbod Gf settling these stormy questions— whether they arise on the Canadian. National Railways or on lines which would be naturally tributory to the Canadian Pacific Railways is for the Government franldy to face the cost of the road, as Governments usually pay the cost of building highways and then let the operation be con- ducted by the railway taking over the line. We have no right to saddle either of our railroads with the operation of economically unprofitable branches. Railway statistics to -day are brought down to a very fine point. The physi- cal valuation of a line can be figured out very closely. So also can its economic value. It is possible to de- termine with a reasonable degree of accuracy, the operating results on any branch of any line of railways in the Dominion. With facts before it, the Govern- ment would be able to tell the ca- pacity of that railway to produce rev- enue. If it would pay its operating expenses, the main railways of Can- ada, the C.P.R. and the C.N.R. should take over these dead-end branches and operate them, but the capital cost of that line need not necessarily be borne by these railways. The Gov- ernment has an obligation to the •peo- ple who happen to be residing in these districts which in the past have had railway transportation and the rail- way transportation must be maintain- ed in the future, but it is rather un- fair to the railways and especially to the Canadian National to suggest that it should take over these branch-. es and pay their operating expenses. This does not necessarily argue that this has been done in this case, it may be possible that the Gaspe Railway and the other railways purchased will more than pay their way. That is a matter which necessarily comes under the judgment of the men who are op- erating_the road and Sir Henry Thorri- ton is a very capable railway official and no doubt knows what he is do - ng. He has accepted the responsi- bility for the purchase of the Gaspe branch. On that judgment will de- pend the final, outcome of the situa- tion. LONDON CONFERENCE BRANCH WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY There were approximately two hun- dred and fifty delegates to the' third annual meeting of the Women's Mis- sionary Society of United Church of Canada, London conference, which opened Tuesday, May 14th, in St. An- drew's United Church, Chatham.

CHAUTAUQUA II N SE FORTH Two outstanding plays—"Smilin' through," great romantic drama, and "The Family Upstairs,'" popular Broadway comedy—Dr, Tehyi Hsieh, noted Chinese diplomat and lecturer; Anatol Frikin and his Russians in scenes from the Russian Life, a truly spectacular musicall production, are among the many big features of the forthcornisig Canadian Chautauqua here, which opens June 22 and con- tinues for five crowded, eventful days. The Chautauqua will 'be opened on the first night by one of the most popular Broadway comedy successes of recent years, "The Family Up- staire;" Here is an uproarious com- edy -drama based upon the joys and heartaches of a twentiethacentury family engaged in "r4iarrying off" the eldest daughter. This popular play will be presented by the well known Martin Erwin Players. On the second afternoon, Mrs. D. Pirie Beyea, distinguished British lecturer and world -traveller, will de- Iiver her forceful, challenging lecture, "Education or Catastrophe." Preced- ing Mrs. Beyea's^ lecture, the Moscow Artists, a company of talented Rus- sian musicians, will be heard in con- cert. Anatol Frikin end His Russians in Scenes from the Russians Life, star musical attraction of the Second night, present one of the greatest programs of lc€ussiata art and muale ever offered on any Chautauqua platform. The program is divided into llama scenes, each replete with gorgeous aeenery` and costumes, A thrilling glimpse in the heart of Old Raasa a lar pres- ented, and much familiar and h atgti- ful l ussian amusie. is matohlegglY terpreted. . &irneet Toy, famous Australian no lionist, _' and .Lowell Patton, : noted pianist, connposer and interpreter as life and moods, conte to Chautauqua on the third afternoon in a 'eonct that delights by its genuine artistry and is made generally popular by the entertaining personalities of Mr. Pat- ton and Mr. Toy. On the third night, following a concert by Toy and Patton, Dr. Tehyi Hsieh, distinguished Chinese . states- man, will speak upon his absorbingly interesting subject, "Awakening China." It is unusual good fortune which brings Doctor Hsieh to lecture to Ontario audiences this season. This cultured Chinese diplomat, a gradu- ate of Cambridge and a master -hand at clarifying the intricacies of world politics for his hearers, will make a lasting impression on all. . The fourth afternoon will be devote ed to the children, when 'Herb Taylor, famous Humpty-Dumpty clown. will hold full sway under the big brown Canadian Chautauqua tent. Herb Taylor is a prince of an entertainer for the youngsters. His program is new, clean, funny, wholesome and un- usual. He is ventriloquist, juggler and magician, as well as the ever - comic clown. "Smilin' Through," one of the most beautiful dramas ever written, will be presented on the fourth night by the Martin Erwin Players of Canada. This wonderful- play has literally everything humor, thrilling love -in- terest, excitement, mystery, and above all a quaint, whimsical quality that sets it apart in a category of its own. Capt. Stanley Nelson Dancey, well known Canadian author, editor and lecturer, will deliver his popular in- spirational lecture "Canadianization" on the fifth afternoon. the Jackson Jubilee Singers will bring the 1929 Chautauqua to a close •.v+th their Grand Joy Night Concert on the last night. These negro sing- ers are admirably fitted tempera- mentally to interpret the negro spiri- tnals and rollicking darky melodies which are presented on their pro- grems. Little Van Osborne, versatile nine-year-old colored boy entertainer, is featured. The Jackson Singers will also appear on the last afternoon, preceding Captain Dancey's lecture. lv ';v4,4411 a': lea en sion eta veliT .,.,. breakfast, hooped ev locality and swiped''.s.: apples, He frightened 4 fie'., ' for he was a roach lookinge, with tie mind of a ebii4, ' lady screamed, the -coop d$A, the 'and George rusticated ,in Aodeficia till .M.

But to an old guy, like me, thoughts turn back to bud time of long ago. Just have patience till I replenish the corncob and reach for a match, then I'll pull from memory's cobwebs three famous tourists who called upon Seaforth regularly as spring came around. It's not black - strap I have in the concob, but it's just as hard to light. Wasted a couple of Mr. Eddy's illuminations al- ready. But she's going now. So here's to it. Do you remember George, the hat- ter?A fine type of an man, muscular, straight as an arrow. The "fuller" }ie was the straighter he walked. When business was good it was no uncommon sight to see George mak- ing for Johnny Dorsey's or Sandy Stewart's blacksmith shops crowned with half a dozen cadies, one inside the other, and a couple extra in each hand. George was efficient as Henry Ford ever knew how to be. An old tomato can, a fine sponge and some dope when he had the price, then George started the hat works to work. The blacksmith shops at each end of the town to George were steps saved. At times he'd amble along crowned with a silk topper, which, to a close observer, would reveal the kind of a roan underneath the stovepipe if he would only leave Joe Seagram's out- put alone. I freely confess I had a certain admiration for George Young. Perhaps a bat inquisitive, too, for un- consciously I was preparing myself for the writer's calling. One can learn much from cultured men like George Young. Whisky! Whisky! What has it not done to mets? In his normal condition the hatter was worth talking to. Besides he had seen much of life, and was an ob- server. At the call of M. Lincoln, George Young had donned the blue and fought in the war of the rebel- lion to maintain State Rights, and ul- timately the freedom of the colored people from the slavery of the south. George Young's brother had the title of honorable before his name, and was an outstanding man in the public life of Canada. Those who originated in the Scotch block around Galt and Ayr know what I mean. Another tourist not so well known to the people of Seaforth was George Pi. In the days of the Washington hand press, George Moir was an ex- pert on that man killer. In the handling of moveable type he was a failure. Hence the name of George Pi, the pi part from the classics. To the reader it will be sufficient to' ex- plain that whenever George touched type, the leaden missles of Gutten- berg fell all over. In printer's par- lance, George turned the type cases into a "hell box," which means one awful mire -up. Rut George was long on the walk. Near the town line be- tween Hibbert and Tuckersmith, on the third concession of the latter, Geordie domicilled. An old drum stove in the shanty, wood was plen- tiful on this farm of the late John Sproat. To save time Geordie never took off his clothes, and a feather bed was no luxury, rather a nuisance. When The Expositor was produced from the top story of Scott's block on a wash -hand press, George Was the candy kid. He'd walk out to that. log palace night and morning. treat - fast, an apple or two, varied at times he'd walk_ from Stratford to $eafortia, for he . knew he was always. starve-af four bits from M. Y. • McLean. George Moir's brother was a fam- ous editor of a famous Canadian daily. It was said, perbaps too tine the loss of a woman's love • sent' George to the turnpike, to follow the life of a tramp printer. The third George, more famous to newspaper men and printers than those without the Fourth Estate, can- ed regularly upon The Expositor and M. Y. 'lilts name was George Samp- son. He was craftsman o$ the first rank, and a brilliant writer. The hold hootch got on George Sampson turned him into a wanderer. When I read the story, "The Printer of Udell's," I laid it down at the finish and said that must have been George Samp- son, only George's ending was not as pleasant, and peaceful. That's all! Whisky! Whisky! What won't it do? Destroy men's bodies. In some cases, the soul, but not the soul of George Sampson. So ends the story of The Three Georges. The corncob's out. BILL POWELL. FARMERS' WEEK AT THE ONT. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE ,June 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Everything is set for a larger at- tendance and a more interesting pro- gramme than usual in connection with the annual visit of the farm folks of Ontario to the Ontario Agricultural College. The College has just started on a big programme of expansion and will be more worth while visiting than ever. Special features of interest are being arranged, and Dr. Christie, the new and energetic President, is anxious to meet as many farmers and farm families as can possibly take a day off to visit the College and Ex- perimental Farm at this time. Special days have been designated for the different counties, but any family not able to make the trip ou the day designated for their county will be entirely welcome on any one of the other days. Here is the list as arranged:— Monday, June 17th—Essex, Kent, Elgin, Norfolk, Haldimand, Welland, Lincoln, Wentworth. Tuesday, June 18th—Halton, Water- loo, Dufferin, Perth, Huron, Grey, Bruce. Wednesday, June 19th --Brant, Peel, Simcoe, York, Ontario, Durham, Northumberland and Eastern Coun- ties. Thursday, June 20th—Middlesex, Oxford, Wellington, Victoria, Peter- borough, Lanark, Muskoka. The Ontario Agricultural College is the greatest institution of its kind in the British Empire, and every Ontario farmer should keep in close touch with the work that is being done there. The very best way is to make a per- sonal visit. For further information, write or phone Department of Agriculture, Clinton.
