Not Much Excitement Yet
'There is a provincial election in
the offing. In October, it is said. But
to date that fact has not created
very much excitement. It has not
yet reached the front pages of the
newspapers' to any extent, but after
the actual- date of voting has been
announced, the temperature will un-
doubtedly rise.
In the meantime the two main
political parties and to date, one of
-the almost forgotten side issues, the
ILF.O. party, have been nominating
candidates to put into the field.
In. both the Huron ridings - the
Conservative party has taken the
lead. North Huron Conservatives
have nominated W. H. Logan, of
1'eeswater, as their standard bearer.
To be absolutely correct, we should
really say the riding of Huron -Bruce
an there are now two or three Bruce
townships tacked on to the north
half of Huron, and Mr. Logan is a --
resident of a Bruce town.
In South Huron, the Conservatives
at their convention held in Heneall
on Friday evening last, nominated
Dr. Taylor, of Dashwood.
• But the Liberals, whaheld both
ridings in the last Legislature by
large majorities, will not be far be-
himL Huron -Brice Liberals held
their/ nomination at Wingham on
Wednesday of this week, and the
South Huron Liberal's nominating
convention will be held in Hensall on
Wednesday, September 1st
After that things are very likely
to liven up a bit, as Huron takes her
politics rather seriously.

A Little Too Much Rain
It is very hard for the people of
Ontario, particularly in this part of
it, to picture the drought conditions
in many parts of the Western Prov-
inces. Right here we have one of
the most prolific crops in the history
of the county. And that in. face of
the fact that there was a wet and
late spring.
Fortunately for us when the wea-
ther made the turn, it turned in the
right direction. The rain came when
it *as needed, and the warm wea-
ther followed the rains. Late as the
seeding was, when it did get into the
ground, it seemed to grow as if by
magic.
There was a bumper hay crop a
big wheat crop, and a still better
crop of oats and barley, and with al-
most any kind of weather, it looks
as if the 'corn, roots and potatoes
would be a bumper crop too.
But there is a fly in our ointment,
and a serious! one. The perfect har-
vest weather we had for the hay and
the wheat lasted just long enough to
cut the oats and barley, or most of
it. Then the rains came.
Consequently, the oats and the
barley, or a large part of it, are still
in the fields. And the rain keeps
coming down. Last week the w -ea -
tiler was hot and muggy. The oats
and barley are sprouting in the
stOoks, and when the stooks were
!spread out, the _rain came agaire•
And rain does not improve the
er s that have been cut. Some
e11s, too many in fact, are a sorry
oking mess. But every cloud has
silver lining, they say. The rain
as helped the corn and roots, and
re is almindant pasture.

Time to be Careful
General public interest is being
forced to consider the seriousness of
the infantile paralysis death toll in
Ontario during the past few weeks.
It has not yet reached the propor-
tions of -an epidemic, but the cases
would appear to be on the increase.
Toronto is said to have 113 cases;
Ottawa 41, Hamilton 12, t h e
Niagara Peninsula 27, London 19,
and it is reported that the disease
has also made its appearance in
Stratford. Over Ontario the report-
ed, number of cases is 251, with a
death toll of 15.
So serious is the situation that
there is talk in some centres of keep-
ing the schools closed until there is
some abatement of the disease. That,
in some cases might be advisable,
but if advisable for schools, what
about the churches, theatres and all
public centres?
Fortunately for us, in this district,
there have been no cases reported,
nor in this county. But an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
and this is the time to apply that
theory.
Health officers and medical author-
ities can readily be depended upon
for both advice and action, but these
authorities without, the co-operation
of the general public, are handicap-
ped to a degree that might easily
prove very serious.
r Responsibility, at this time, really
falls upon parents more than in any
other quarter. If any suffering has
fallen upon the past generation of
children, or upon the present one,
that suffering has not been occasion-
ed by any lack of freedom, but
rather a little too much of it. Par-
ents should give immediate notice to
the health authorities of any disor-
der in the health of their children.
It would tend to check the increase:
of this devastating disease. It might
save a life.
Home always was a good place for
children to be.

The Fall Fair Season Again
The Fall Fair season is with us
again, or at least almost here. Ot-
tawa Fair has already been held;
the Canadian National at Toronto
will be formally opened on Thursday
of this week by Hon. Newton Wes-
ley Rowell, Chief Justice of Canada,
and that will be followed by the
Western Fair at London, which this
year Till celebrate the seventieth
year of its birth.
After these great events, the coun-
try fall fair really comes into its
own. It was confidently predicted
by many skeptics that the automo-
bile, which has so changed our trans-
portation ways, would ring the knell
of the country fair, but that day is
not yet.
As a matter of fact, the auto and
the truck have, apparently, given
the small country fairs a new lease
of life. People attend them from
greater distances than formerly, and
in greater numbers.
Exhibits, particularly in live stock,
are no longer confined to local own-
ers and breeders. From a radius of
perhaps ten mileor so, the circle
has widened to fifty and even sixty.
The truck is the answer.
In this county London Fair will be
followed by Exeter; then Zurich and
Seaforth, and the first of the follow-
ing month Brussels will be the big
event.
All these Fairs are old in years,
but exceedingly robust, and appear
to gain a little in popularity every
year; and that is as it should be, be-
cause the local fall fair, if people in
' towns and the country surrounding
those towns, would only realize it,
Could be made not only a great edu-
cational feature, but a business marc
ked asSing alt others.
