After reading the debt cancella- tion ancellertion acts recently passed by the Al- berta Legislature, the people of Can- ada, anada, as well as the people of other countries, who have money invested here, are wondering what will hap- pen next. What amazing election promise—if you don't like to call it a bribewill the Social Credit Gov- ernment of that Western Province spring upon a long suffering world. It was thought long ago that Al- berta legislation had already exceed- ed world ideas of right and reason- ableness, but, apparently, that opin- ion is very wide of the mark, as the recent legislation goes to prove. By the Securities Tax Act, a tax of two per cent. is 'imposed imposed on every mortgage heldby an individual,- a company and even on those held by the Dominion Government. Whether or not any interest has been paid, ills tax is payable on. the first of pp ,Art And it. maser X� Ne remem- bered, is paid by the individual or company that put up the money and not by the people who borrowed it. • In case of non-payment by that date, a penalty of five per cent. per month, or sixty per cent. a year, is - imposed. In addition, mortgage holders are compelled to file an in- tricate form giving particulars of all ~mortgages which must be in the Government's hands by the first of June. Otherwise a penalty of ten dollars, or $3650 per year, will be imposed, regardless of the face va- lue of the mortgage. Filing such returns by company or individuals outside the. Province will prove an utter impossibility in the time given, and the Government knows it. But the Government wants the money regardless of all other considerations. And there is no re- course to the courts on the part of the holders of mortgages. The Gov- ernment has seen to that too And then there is the Home Own- ers' Security Act. By it foreclosure is absolutely prevented on any occu- pied farm home or upon the 160 ac- res upon which the farm home is sit- uated. The same Act further provides that no owner occupied property in village, town or city, can be foreclos- ed unless the person or company who lent the money and holds the mort- gage, first deposits $2,000 into court. Then, if the court grants the fore- closure order,- the home owner walks off with the $2,000. All this means that all Alberta, farm homes, as well as urban homes Which were the security for money borrowed on them, will cease to be security. That every farmer in the Province will be in a position to stop' • all payments of interest, and at the same time be immune from foreclos- ure. That a man who holds a mo„rt-' gage on urban property, whether he has ever received a cent of interest or not, can only obtain possession of that property by giving an additional $2,000 to the amount already owing, and making a present of the whole to the man who walks out. • It seems to b& an incredible situa- tion. But,, nevertheless, it will prove to be a fact, unless the Dominion Government steps in and disallows this 'legislation. And if the Domin- ion Government does disallow it, what then? Why', then Mr. Aberhart will tell followers ---and he .is a g rod teller that tie rest of Canada is standing i e nee k of the people of Alberta t g; his eaven-sent Gov= d sit it ut"rig the .fruits ,den, Which; he if only he ,. a certain -._class' of debtor and some other- resident§ of Alberta, but it is a situation, which, if allowed to de- velop, will strike a death blow to Canadian credit, and in all probabil- ity, to Canadian unity as well. • Years Agone Interesting Items raked From. Tho Huron Expositor. of Fifty and Twenty<five Years Ago. For A Safe Holiday Ontario's Minister of 'Highways, Hon. T. B. McQuesten, has issued an appeal for a "Safe and Sane" May 24th holiday week -end. That is ani' appeal which touches very nearly thousands upon ni ou- sands of Ontario residents and which will' show marvellous if even just a little more than cas, ;'1 thought and attention were given to it. Mr. McQuesten has outlined eight simple rules. which he asks the holi- day motorists to remember, and he is not asking too much. A little at- tention to them may prevent you from being the victim of a serious or fatal highway accident. Remember that the other fellow has had a good many turns. .It• may be your turn next. These are the rules: Drive at a safe speed; keep to the right; never pass on a hill- or curve or when the view is obstructed; do not park on the highway; signal in plenty of time before making turns; observe all road signsand signals; be sure of the safe, driving condition of your automobile; don't drive if, you drink. Every motorist knows these rules by heart now. Why not practise them? • Going Up A steady increase in the price of beef cattle is reported on all mar- kets throughout the Province dur- ing the past week or two. And what is still better, from the farmer's standpoint, the increase • is said like- ly to continue for some time to come. With the exception of a very short time last fall, cattle and cattle prices have been the farmer's nightmare, and it has been a long nightmare too. Thousands of Western cattle were brought down to Ontario last fall and if beef prices hold or continue to rise, the Ontario farmer might make a little money for a change. For some years past he was lucky to break even, and there were very few lucky ones. With good pasture and rising prices, not to mention good crop prospects, the farmer's outlook is improving, which is a mighty good thing for the general public, as well as for the farmer. After all is said and done, t'he mat- ter boils down to this: True 'pros- perity for the people of Ontario has got to come from the land. The farmer is the only man who can break the depression, and if this year he starts to make a little money and continues the process for an- other year or two, then, and not till then, we can safely say that the de- pression is over, and be able to look forward to good times again_ WHAT -OTHER PAPERS SAY: 'Dogs Quieted By, Radio (Radio Ilstailing) A dog fancier has installed a ratliopbone in- tercom'municator, from bedside to the kennel.

I have my suspi- cious that Mrs. Phil, with an unlndus-- trious hired man and the spring work on her bangle, may have the faintest suspicion that this was a convenient way out of having a/1 the work. I reclined in ease during the first day, and having bribed' a nurse into bringing my old briars' in, decided to befoul the atmosptheie with the es- sence of tobacco smote. After three hours of smoking, my pipe gave me a sore tongue. I then perused the newspaper from back to back, and all. advertisements . . . and alto the so- ciety pages. After that I started watching the clock, and relishing the idea of a big meal. The hands crept around with maddening slowness. At last the time came and the nurse came in with a tray covenel over by a great white cloth. Certainly, there must be a marvel of cooking under that cloth and my mouth begins to water at the prospect. It takes her an eter- nity of time to set the tray up acetosa my beds, and then when she does un- veil the tray, it discloses nothing more appetizing than. a bowl of weak soup, a few biscuits and a glass of watery Orange juice. I was so eon - founded angry that I let go with a few choice adjectives that were to say the least, highly d'escriptiee. And the nurse spoke in such a soothing, sweet way with a smile that would do jus- tice'to an advertisement for gum. Supper over, I 'braved having an- other sore tongue and brought out the pipe once more. The smoke over I set down the pipe and decided to sleep. But some - hoe' sleep didn't , come so easily. Af- ter tossing back and forth for a few times I decided that my wanting of sleep had been • satisfied by my rest f From The Huron Expositor May 25, 1888 Another destructive fire took piece in Seaforbla on Thursday night of last week.

Elect Officers •French Pionereed . Synthetic Diamonds Studyf Gemsicat- • Close on the heels of reports from various centers of world gem sales, that the recession hats been reflected in a lessened ability of the people to buy diamonds, comes information, through a report read before a meet- ing cf the American Chemical Socie- ty, ti t a measure of success has been achieved in the manufacture of syn- thetic .d4amonds. It will be a long time before the activ'ties still ander way in labora- torie- present any serious commercial possibilities. But the fact that chem- ists Lave succeeded in making syn- thetic diamonds of fine quality once again draws back the curtains on the dramatic experiences of M. Henri Moissan, a professor in the Paris School of -Pharmacy, and another physicist identified with less exacti- tude, as "the resourceful Parisian dreamer, August Verneuil." ' It was Professor Moissan's aspira- tion to be able to make diamonds. "Never mind Kimberley; and the Gol- conda," he cried, full of faith in his own ability plus his bent in the direc- tion of logic; "I'll make PAM' onus—out of graphite out 'of the lead you use in your pencils." "Forget the mines of Ceylon," add- ed) M. Verneuil, who was interested in sapphires and rubies. "I'll make you sapphires and rubies—out of ox- ide of alumina—er, if you wish me to speak plainly, out of mud'." mhey were young men then. This was before 1890. They were convinc- ed they had, only to reduce to crys- tals two common substances—graphite and mud—and they would be able to produce such stones as would become legendary. So they began the task of trying to discover the immemorial secret of how to transmute something base into something sublime. Professor Moissan at firet dissolved carbon by melting iron around it, on the theorythat, to get crystals, one dlseoivea a substance, and mets the ;Solvent evaporate. But when he broke the iron away he found!—not crystals, but a curious, coarse carbon. Finally he tried another tack. Ile burned sugar and got pure carbon, and this he melted with iron. He put the mass into his oven, and pushed the heat up to 4,000 degrees. The ir- on melted; it steamed like water boil- ed in a pot; the furnace, which was built of limestone, began to melt ; sparks shot out from the crucible.

They are probably the oldest living twins in North America, forthe oldest Can- adian record is believed to be 'held by William and Charles Wendorf, of Hanover, who recently celebrated their 91st birthday.

Planted Trees At Public School of iron tightened on the kernel, ex- erting a prodigious pressure. Th'e pro- fessor's hopes revived. Cautiously' he worked the shell of iron away until he got down at last to the kernel— and there it lay a bit of crystallized carbons --gleaming like a white Star— a diamond, counterpart worthy to be compared with a stone which mine slaves might toil for months to find in the blue gravel of South Africa. That was in 1894. Here was a man- made diamond: But it had drawbacks. It was but a fiftieth of an inch across. It has cost mere than any mined stone had ever cost, to produce. And it was not a job whose processes of completion mould readily be taught t anyone else, Meanwhile, M. Verneul•1 had fared somewhat better. He knew that the fist man-made ruby had been pro- duced in 1837 by a man aimed Gau- din. It was just a little ruby, hard- ly big enough to see with the naked eye. In 1877 others' had been made by M. E. Fremy, and M. C. Fell, but they were tiny too, and of no value for commercial purposes. But M. Verneuil stoked his fires nevertheless. For 10 years he kept them hot, trying to make sapphires and rubies which; chemically, resem- ble each other exactly. For a long v, bile the only thing he produced was lumps' of some substance which glis- tened little more than a clinker from a cold furnace. But then he began to have some lit- tle success' and the great gem house of Heiler & Son heard, of him and A. A. Heller sent for him, asking him to come and see him - "I would like, you to see if yd,µ can make some sapphires and rubies1 that can be sold," said M. Heller, and M. Verneuil finally consented to attempt the task. In 1910 Verneuil reached his objec- tive, a process of making sapphires and rubies which has been changed only in details of technique. It was never to become an easy protest, this turning oxide of alumina into sapphires and rubies which can be re- cognized as synthetic , because they are more "perfect" than genuine stones. Only seetthetic sapphires. and rubies are produced in commrercial quanta. ties and these differ from the so-call- ed "reconstructed~' gems, produced in 1885 by a man in t•)erieva, who put pieces of smhll ruby legethher to nieke siaga% larger rubles,. - On Wednesday afternoon last week the teachers of the public school planted a row of . red oaks along the rear of the school yard.
