Why Not?
A few weeks ago The Expositor
ad an editorial on the advantages
of Huron compared with the West-
ern, Provinces along the lines of
climate, agriculture, beauty and ag-
ricultural living conditions.
- In 'commenting on that editorial
the- Daily Province of Vancouver
says; "And that is Huron which the
people` left for the Western Plains.
If the news gets abroad in the
drought area, Huron may see, if not
its children, then its+ grandchildren,
marching home."
Why not? Where else in Canada
is there a farming area that offers
equal choice of beautiful farm loca-
• tions, fertility of soil, climate and
natural as well as man-made ad-
,/ vantages ?
It is a well known fact that the
choicest foundation stock that set-
tled the three Western Provinces of
• Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alber-
ta came largely from Huron and
Bruce Counties.
It was British stock, only one gen-
eration removed from the pioneers
who"came from England, Ireland
and Scotland to settle in the Huron
tract, and without many advantages
beside courage, strength and determ-
ination, hewed out of the virgin for -
et the magnificent farms which
make up Huron County to -day.
The second,. and in some cases the
third generation of those pioneers
it was, who pulled up stakes here
and flocked in thousands to that
promised land, the West, that land
-whicIrwas said to flow with milk and
honey.
And it did flow with abundance for
a time and those Western pioneers
from Huron and Bruce are largely
responsible for the western boom of
a few years ago. But western lands
are not what they used to be. Too
much has been taken out of them
and too little put back.
The days when wheat could be
sown on stubble and harvested in
millions of bushels; the days when
the western farmers could spend six
months in work and six months in
• travel, are over. Thousands upon
thousands of acres that once produc-
d prodigous crops are now barren
wastes.
'There is no living off them; there
is no living on them. Their owners
101 have to leave them, or be assist-
ed to leave them for other places
where they can obtain a living for
theinsblves and their families.
Why it leave the land of drought
and grasshoppers a n d drifting
lams, and return to the land of
their birth or their forefathers,
where the opportunities of making
a livelihood, a competence and gain-
ing independence are as great to -day
as they were in the clays of the pio-
neer?
•As great to -day as they were sev-
• enty-five years ago and without the
• privations, the loneliness and. the
• dangers of pioneer days. Churches
and schools are ,at every farm door
in Huron to -day. The telephone and
• 1Iydro are available for every farm.
Tbere is a network of township and
tonnty roads and paved provincial
iftirways. A market is just over the
d the farms which the pioneers
ef•are still here, many of them
leith empty hottses and barns wait-
' lor a tenant. Why not come

We Get Them E'verp Dap
Last week at Niagara Falls, a
New York tourist and his family'
told bridge officials that they were
going through Canada to Detroit to
see the Shrine -of the Little Flower
and on the way they would like to
see the 'Shrine of St. Anne de
Beaupre. They wanted to be back
next day.
Well, considering the fact that
there is only the little matter of • a
distance of upwards of a thousand
miles separating the Shrine of the
Little Flower at Detroit and St.
Anne de Beaupre, in Quebec, and in
order to get to the firdt from
Niagara Falls one has to travel the
opposite way to the latter, those New
York tourists could accomplish the
feat all right. But getting back
home again next day—that is some-
thing different entirely.
However, we seem to get that kind
of tourist almost every day. We re-
member once of seeing the utter
astonishment that came into an Eng-
lishman's face when we' explained
that we did not know his friend in
Canada, and would be unable to call
upon him, because that friend lived
a little farther away from our home
town than from where he was then
standing in England, was distant
from Canada.
But that was some time ago, when
a good many English minds were of
the opinion that the distance be-
tween Montreal and Vancouver was
bridged by a board sidewalk and you
met -all the natives as you passed by.,
It may be different now.
It never seems to be different,
however, with a good many Ameri-
can tourists, even those who live just
across the border in New York. To
them Canada is an unexplored jun-
gle, a land of snow and quintuplets.
What the average American citi-
zen does not know about Canada is
really amazing. If put into books,
it would form a library in itself.
But he doesn't care. Neither do
we. We are always glad to see him
and we have an idea that once he
breaks the ice by coming over, he
likes us enough to want to come back
again.
Every year sees an increase of
American visitors. Last week -end
there were as many American cars
on No. 4 and 8 Highways, in this dis-
trict, as there were Canadian. And
we hope the next holiday will see ev-
en more.

Monument For "Live One"

Sir James Dunn advocates erection of. Mona-

M.. Girdler, of the Republic Steel for the part
they played in "spiking" the ,guns of the C.I.O.
But, Sir James, monuments are o'tily erected to
dead men. And, by no stretch of imagination,
can "Mitch" Hepburn or Tom Girdler be called
dead. John L. Lewis can testify to that.
The Weekly Newspaper
(Boston Monitor)
Turning from the city newspapers to the small
town press exohanges that come to the editor's
desk is like stepping from the slums, full of vice
into an „old-fashioned garden sweet with lavender
and thyme; and the scent of Perennial flowers.
The pages of the big dailies are so full of mur-
der, thievery, immorality and selfishness that
the' better news is obscured by glaring shatter-
ings of the Decalogue. One puts, the papers aside
with a feeling of depression and heartache that
the world is full of terrible and unhappy things.
Then picking up the papers that record the hap-
penings of the little towns around us, onegains
renewed faith in life. Here are set forth only
that which uplifts a community—the activities of
the business men, the church Items', the happy
social gatherings of the people, farmers' ite,ms
and all the thousand and one daily occurrences
that make up the simple annals of the great com-
mon people, Wito are really the foundation of
thice, bread country of o'ut's.
Scandals are rarely published In the Maury
newspapers, but if it so happens that decency
demands it, the uglier details are omitted, or
given a kindly touch that is widely different front

Of *Umtata there -cornea/ a •-time ein-

decided to slip into town and see ethat
the Cold Boys were doing, aust to sort
of top- off the threshing with,
The midway got me. Calliope play-
ing "Pada" . . . and the terrier wheel
going up and ever, and the smell of
hamburgers and 'hot-dogs all frying in
with onions . . . some fellow yell-
ing "Try your luck—a prize every
tithe." A .pretty colored gel dancing
and swaying around to the strum-
ming of a guitar.
SureI vias a "kid" again. I played
the gamest and lost /my money and
cameaway with an armful of prizes
that 'were of no possible value. I went
to the "baths" and' chewed away on,
candy that •basted like cotton with a
bit of flavoring in it. I went to see
the "monkeys," dancing and laughed
andi really enjoyed mygelf. I pnobab-
ly.got "gypped" a dozen times, but I
had plenty of fun.
When the lady in the cage winked
at me, I anew that she wasn't doing
it because she liked me . . . or even
because I had any of that .fatal attrac-
tion of a "lady-killer." She probably
turned! and laughed when, I went on,
but I found myself squaring my
shoulders and making any -old feet llft
higher. I shoved, a quarter under the
wicket .for 'a ten -cent ticket, and in
my antost magnanimous way, told her
"Keep the change."
There's something about that mid-
way at the "Old Boys' Reunion.". The
wife reviled me . . "phil, you're
old enough to have better sense!" It
was then that I presented her with
that gaudy "kewpie" doll that cost
me about a "dolar-ninety" in chances,
and said: "Look what I won for the
.most beautiful lady at the celebra-
tan!"
'"Go on with you, Phil!" But she
kept 'that doll and next morning she
had it sitting up on the:deesser.

: Boy Wanted
Sir Thomas Lipton Helped Make
the America's C u p Known
Throughout the World.
•
•
The races now it progreas for the
America's Cup recall the story of Si'
Thomas Lipton, the man who did so
much to make the cup famous.
The story of Sir Thomas Lipton
reads like one ot these fairy tales of
big business from small beginnings,
said Anthony Gibbs, in the New York-
er some years ago. Yet this tall
clumsy man, whose eyes are pucker-
ed at the sides with a thousand wrin-
kles of kindliness and humor, is no
Napoleon of industry, Rather there
is about him an expression of apolo-
getic paternity, a certain wistfulness
for the old days and the camaraderie
of the slums.
• He was born in a Glaegow tene-
ment in 1850, to the shriek of ship-
ping. He went to the council school
for the three R's, bill the boys seem-
ed cleverer than. he was, so that he
was always the biggest boy in his
class. This worried him, and one day
as ihe was walking to school he saw
a magic sign; "Boa Wanted." He
went right in and collared the job, at
half a crown a week.
There on the banks of the Clyde
young Lipton first heard the call of
the Panpipes, the minor third of a
ship's siren tooting through the fog,
calling to distance and adventure.
Through a grimy window, as he labor-
ed with hie bales and boxed, he used
to watch tthe banging and the bustle,
the loading and the coaling.There,
after work, he used to hatig about
boats and talk to sailors.
When be was 17 he went to Ameri-
ca to make his pile. He went on
the advice of his mother. He only
stayed three weeks in New York, for
the read in the Papers' there were jobs
going on the tobacco plantation's of
the South. He went as a stowaway
in an , old boat sailing for I4ew Or -
lean. There he got a job in a groc-
ery store. He lost it, and became suc-
cessively a tramcar driver, and an
advance agent on the road fon a por-
trait painter. It was' an this, last job
that yottng Lipton decided the secret
of success was to sell, not something
people thought tibey might like, but
something they Sintply had to have—
food'. There *as born itt his anted

tive Glasgow and supplying the Glas-
wegians with biscuits and bacon, bar-

tiny took aim over.
He began by doing everything him-
self, from beeping the accounts' to
cleaning the windows. At night be
slept under the counter. Success
came to him. He opened a branch.
The thing happened all over again.
He opened branches all over Scotland
He began to launch out, bought . a
sratel boat and began sailing it on
the Clyde, and was able to put his
mother and father into a comfortable
house. He was tremendously pleas-
ed with himself, but found it difficult
to believe in his, fantastic success. He
tried to keep his old friends and found
they couldn't follow him. His trajec-
tory went on, and up. Through his
yachting, he met Queen Victoria and
the Princes and Princess of Wales.
In 1898 he was knighted by the Queen
and en the same year he converted,
his business into a limited -liability
company, and the tally of Lipton's
then stood at 600 branches all over
fhe British Isles; his own tea, cocoa,
and coffee plantations in, Ceylon; his
own packing house for 'hogs in Chi-
cago, and farms, factoriesand baker-
ies in England. Success could carry
him no further.
In the meantime his parents had
died. By this time the business had
begun to look after itself, and his in-
terest wandered. He had definitely
and spectacularly arrived, and feel-

the moon he took stock of his sur-
roundings. He was absolutely alone,
with not a single relative anywhere in

nor ever wanted to. Laughing at soli-

all the zest he had put into malting
his money. This businessof the Am-
