Canadian Fowl In Britain
Canadian fowl is beginning to oc-
eupy a recognized place in the Pri:-
tish market, judging by a return
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Ottawa on Monday of this
week.
The report sta.../.3 that from Janu-
ary 1st to March 12th of this year
Canadian shipments of poultry to
the Old Country market amounted
to 1,777,500 pounds, which is' a little
more than double the amount ship-
ped in the corresponding period iast
year.
Still fnbre encouraging is the fact
that last week saw the largest ship-
-merit to the same market that has
ever been exported in a week's time.
This consisted of 500,000 pounds. If
the average chicken weighed in the -
neighborhood of five pounds, that
would mean 100,000 chiikens. A
pretty sizable bunch if one could see
them stacked up Some where.
Late or. Early ?
Do you prefer a late or an• early
, spring? Personally, for quite some-
time back, we had given up all
• thoughts of spring. But that was a ,
flu and not a weather .condition.
Spring didn't interest us a great deal
and doesn't yet to any great extent.
But we heard a crow early this
ing, and a whole flock of them• •
later on. That is What brought the .
thought of spring back and we'd like .
to keep it. there if we could.
-If an early Ea te means an early
s„.Ltt,
spring, spring mus. ' e 6n the way
now. Ahnost here, in fact, because
Easter is only a week away..
But after this winter we don't be-
lieve ,in signs. No one ever pro-
phesized such 'a , winter. • No one
could because there was no precedent
for such a prophecy. .But we don't
care now a precedent has been estab-
ed, how often this winter repeats
itse . ' - , .
And we are told that the frost is
three feet altd more down in the
ground. That means lots of m‘ois-• '
ture, but it -doesn't mean early plant- •
ing. Not unless'we ,get 'May heat in
April And if we hAve summer wea-
• ther in the spring months, will we
. catcli up on winter weather before
summer is over?
All weather. signs have failed this
year, even the weather man is none
to6:re1iable, so what is the use of pre-
dicting either a late, or an early
• spring. And, anyway, we don't care.
. In fact right now, we'clon't care much'
, about Anything, unless it's a hereafr
ter. •

, Dr Rpherts Made a Mietake
It would apPear 'that Dr. A. D.
.Roberts, Liberal member for Sault
' Ste. Marie, in the Ontario Legisla-
ture, had male a,. very serimis mis-
take when h,e got up on his hind legs
in the House last week and accused
his leader, the Hon. Mr. Hepburn, of
• having committed some very serious
• breaches of etiquette against the
ult member, as.well as countenanc-
•inr `Salle rather sharp practices, -al-'
• $o direded against the same mem-
bet.

had been operating a very profitable
little toll gate in riding .as well.
All of which led to his prompt and
complete expulsion froin the Liberal
ranks in the House. The repudiation
of the Premier -being followed short-
ly after by that of the Executive of
the Sault Ste. Marie Liberal Riding
Association, to whom the doctor had
appealed for a hearing. .
It would' seem that from the
first the doctor was one of those
politicians who, the minute they get
into office, lose all sense of values.
They forget.everything and every-
one but themselves. They get a lit-
tle too greedy.
Fortunatelyit is a condition of
mind rarely found among -the mem-
• bers of either Houses of Parliament.
here was quite a bit of evidence of
it following the election landslide in
• 1919, and almost invariably there is
some evidence of it after every elec-
tion landslide, when constituencies
often go begging for competent re-
presentatives, and chance elects some
• very hicoimpetent ones. •
It is quite plain, however,- that Mr.
Hepburn is no respector of either
persons or parties. He plays no fav-
orites. The Liberal went down and
• out Nikrith as resounding a thud as
• would' the Conservative. And the
next one will,go in the same manner.
Possibly Mr. Hepburn is already
• looking about with a view to effect-
• ing a little spring housecleaning.
•
Should ,T e Speed Law Be
bolished ?
That is the question which is be-
fore. the Ontario Legislature at the
present time. AL least there- is a
bill before that august body, which
- has for its object the abolition of
the speed,law on our Ontario roads
• and highways.
• Of course the present speed limit
• of thirty-five miles an hour is out of
,• date and has been for quite- some
•years.' • In fact, the cars and even
transport trucks that keep under
that irm:rk are far in the minority of
the cars and trucks on the roads to-
day.
The modern motor car has been s6
improved over the model of the clay
- when the spee_d law was put on the
statute books, that there is now lit-
tle or any more -danger of travelling
twice that speed, than there was in
, travelling 35 miles an hour in the
early days of the mot.
To -day the danger td public safety
on the highway is quite as often
caused by drivers moving at a speed
of from ten to twenty miles 'as it is
by drivers travelling at sixty arid
seventy. •
But even considering all. these
„ things, would it be wise tb abolish'
the speed limit? With it there are
• quite enongh irr'esponsible • drivers
• on our highways now. Wouldn't the
crop increase if the' limit was remOvi •
ed altogether?
• We are rather inclined to the be-
lief that it would. Little or n6 at-
tention may be paid to the present
speed limit, hut we can not get over
• the fact that there is such a „law. A
• basis, abOve or below which one may
judge the -motoring conduct of the
public, and a basis on which law may
establish its claims.
Judging from reports from the,
Legislature, our law makers do not
_ seem to be yery clear on the matter
•• either,so in all probability, and per-
haps just as Nell too*, it is unlikely
that the speed limit Will be ditpens-
ed with at this session Anyway.

there was a time, in the long :ago,
when such was not the case.
Frain the earliest time people found

two to eight Inches ih length, and
ere made of costly metal'. They are
elaborately Made and .some have
heads of -gold, Or bands of gold at
tbp thick end; frequeutly elaborate
designs are found worked on this

Fier many centuries:, however, pins
were used only by the rich; they
• were too costly for the poor. In fact
the poorer class of people had to"get
along with rude •skewers of wood.
Aucient documents tell us about the
Italians in ancient Medco using the
thorns of the agave. for 'pins. Even
as late as the sixteenth century, pins
were still made out of gold, silver and
braes; and Were costly. -
In the early history of the United

to the fact that the colonists felt the
great need of mope Pins; and public
officials were anxious -to interest Am-
