THE REASON 'WHY
Comment is frequently made on the
COmpayatively few numbers of farm-
er's cars that are seen on the roads
and on the streets of the towns this
season.
There are fewer cars on the run
this year, and there is a reason for
it. Not because the farmer has gone
or is going out of the car owning
business, but because, contrary to the
belief of tea many people, it costs
money to run a car, and the farmer
hasn't get the money this year.
Not that the farmer is in a des-
perate plight. He isn't. As far as
Wang is concerned, the man who
owns his farm is the most independ-
ent man on earth, and he is that way
because he can support himself and
his family for an indefinite period en
what he can raise on his farm. He
can live on the fat of the land.
Perhaps the majority of farmers in
this district are in that class. Others
besides owning their farms have
money in the bank, and still, others
have both money in the hank and
money in stocks.
But what none of them have this
year is money in their packets., spend-
ing money. And, as long as farm
prices continue at their present level,
they are not going to have any.
The spending money on the farm
usualls comes from the sale of the
butter and eggs, the cream and the
hogs. This year these products on
three farms would scarcely bring the
grey aof setiefaeraon. They (*reed
that whiskere mast go,, 'ail they did
*5, ell of theal.
Even then the women were not sat-
isfied. Terhaps the new order of fac-
es didn't maim a clear enough dis-
tinction betereen the sexes, to suit
them, or perhaps they suffered by
comparison. At any rate, it was then
they started something.
First, it' was a little powder or a
little paint; then it was a lot of pow-
der and a lot of paint, whole gobs of
it, and all of brilliant hue.
But they are going to overdo it, see
if they don't. Whiskers may not h.tave
been sanitary, but certainly they could
not have looked or tasted any worse
or ever have been in more tirgent
need of housecleaning than more than
the average feminine face of to -day.
Man is going to be forced back under
whiskers in self defence. Just wait!

If our council is not up against
many expenditures during the present
year there is one improvement we
think v,-ould be generally approved by
the ratepayers, and that would add
ever so much to the appearance of
our town hall, would be the decorat-
ing of the interior, as nothing has
been done in that way since it was
erected, and while the structure is a
fine, solid and well built one from
foundation to roof, it does at the pres-
ent time, stand very much in need
of decorating, which could be done
without very much cost and would add
greatly to the interior appearance.
This, of course, refers to the auditor-
ium, as the first floor has been great-
ly improved during the past year or
so and presents a very creditable ap-
pearance at the present time, but not
so with the second floor or main part
of the hall.

opened at 10 a.m.; the afternoon
meeting commencing at 2.30, with the
president, Mrs. Woods, of' St. Marys,
presiding at both meetings. There
was a splendid attendance at both
meetings, eighty names having been
registered. A fine duet was rendered
by Mrs. William Miller and Mrs. Ken
McKellar. There were splendid dis-
cussions on various parts of the work
of the W. M. S. and some excellent
addresses and papers given by mem-
bers of the different Auxiliaries. Mrs.
James Scott and Mrs. Oliver took the
devotional part in the afternoon meet-
ing. This was the first opportunity
or first occasion for the sectional
meeting to be held in Cromarty. The
church was very tastefully decorated
for the -occasion with spring flowers,
Trilliums and Hyacinths. At the close
of the meeting, tea was served in the
basement by the ladies of the congre-
gation. Both meetings were very
profitable and inspiring for all those
that were present.
JUST WHISKERS

Dominion Day celebrations. In fact
it is one that might receive considera-

The Star says:
"This paper will put up a suitable
trophy for the most pleasing set of

bration at the Agricultural Society's

will line up on the grand stand.

A Message from the Premier
on the subject of
Highways and Highway Safety
Probably no single development in the history of our province has had
more widespread influence upon the lives and habits of our citizens than
the automobile. -
Ontario awas one of the first provinces to recognize the importance of
this modern means of transportation, and first, also to adopt a progres-
sive policy of road building and road maintenance.
Today, of Ontario's 72,000 miles of roads, more than 38,000 miles are
improved gravel, 7,000 miles are paved, and 69 per cent of all roads are
surfaced.
These roads are not only a remarkable convenience, but, as well, they
are a responsibility. The seriousness of the responsibility is evidenced
by the fact that in Ontario last year, 524 persons lost their lives through
automobile accidents. All available statistics would seem to indicate
that most of these accidents were avoidable—and were caused by either
thoughtlessness or wilful violations of the common-sense rules of the
road.
The Ontario Department of Highways is about to publish in the press
of Ontario, a series of educational advertisements; in which an effort
will be made to keep drivers and pedestrians alike, alive to the necessity
for the continuous exercise of care, courtesy and common-sense in the
use of our highways. Suggestions made in these announcements will be,
in effect, a digest of all the information gathered from' every section of
the world which has been found to be of assistance to drivers and
pedestrians in avoiding highway accidents and making these same high-
ways of inestimably greater value and benefit to every citizen.
The first of the announcements referred to will be published at an
early date. Your attention is invited thereto, and your co-operation in
making our streets and highways safe is earnestly solicited.
Premier.
