Thep Pap The Price
The sudden heart attack suffered
by Hon. C. A Dunning, Dominion
Minister of Finance, in the;?I,ouse of
Commons last week, draws attention
once again to the price too often paid
by our public men for their high of-
ficial positions.
It is customary to look upon Cab-
inet Ministers as lucky men, much
favored by, the Gods. What we too of-
ten fail to realize is that the average
Minister, considering the amount of
work he is called upon to perform
and the exacting nature of.that work
and his responsibilities, is about the
poorest paid man in the public ser-
vice,
?r. Dunning is a comparatively
young man, and an exceeding • able
one. A few years ago he retired
from public life because he explained
he could not afford to stay in it. And,
as a business executive, he was high-
ly successful in private business.
But he gave up his highly lucrative
position at the call of the country
two years ago and entered Mr.
King's Cabinet. He is not a man of
wealth or even independent means,
so that the sacrifice he made must
have been great.
It is said that the 'attack he suffer-
ed is not a serious one, which will be
' good news to the people of Canada,
irrespective of politics. But a heart
ailment, however slight, must have
a bearing on his future life and must
govern to a certain extent his future
work.
• And Mr. Dunning's case is not an
unusual exception. Mr. Bennett has
had a warning; Mr. Elliott, Postmas-
ter General, is only recovering -from
a serious illness brought on by over
attention to his exacting position,
and similar occurrance have happen-
ed in almost every Government.
As we say, these things are rare-
ly realized, but they are facts never-
theless.
•
A Rare Bird, Indeed !
The Rev. August G. Partridge,
former British Commissioner to
Tristan da Cunha, a small island in
`-the South Atlantic, has presented a
Flightless Rail to the American Mus-
eum, of Natural History.
•This bird is found only on Inac-
cessable Island in the South Atlantic
' and looks like a ,Miall black chick
with long, slender legs and short,
soft wings.
That does not sound very unusual
or very interesting either. But that
is only part of the story. Apparent-
ly there are birds and birds, and this
one is what might be called a real
bird, even if it is only a stuffed and
mounted specimen.
Had it been alive this is what the
Museum says about it: "A live
specimen of the bird itself would be
so rare, it would be a good buy at
''1,000,000."
That. would be five times as much
in Canadian currency, and even' in
this day when we talk so glibly in
'pillions, five million dollars is quite
a- price to pay for a bird—even a
rare bird.
Wouldn't' .some of our hatchery
men like to run across some of those
birds, or waken up some morning
and find that. some of those kind of
bird's eggs had gotten into their in-
by mistake.

so much of our youth with them.
And those stores are the. harness
shops. Do you remember them ?
The windows were dressed with
straps and buckles and bits, and
inside the door was the whip rack
suspended from the ceiling. Whips
of all kinds and grades and prices.
Just to be allowed to finger them
was a joy. Any boy who had any
horse in his blood—there were,a few
who didn't, but not many—had a
favorite in that whip rack.
With his hand on 'that whip, with-
out even shutting his eyes, he could
see himself .coming up the home
stretch behind the Eel or any other
famous horse of his day. Of course
the harnessmaker did not approve of
his best whips being handled too of-
ten, but there were lucky times when
he was too busy to notice.
And then there was the wooden
horse that was always dressed in
the best harness. And the fancy
woollen horse blankets that a boy
would sooner be draped in than the
finest clothes that were ever made.
Those were the highlights, but
there was a wealth of other material
just about as interesting. There
were the fancy bridles; the different
kinds of bits; the racing boots, and
even the humble fly nets were well
worth handling. And no amount of
polite or impolite advice to the con-
trary kept the boys from handling
them either..
And out behind was the work room
where the new harness was made
and old made like new again. How
time did fly watching the men do
that work. And sometimes the boys
were given slim trimmings of leather
that made bully whip lashes and
some times they got a little waxed,
thread.
We don't know whatever became
of these things, but no gift sticks out
in memory like them. In fact, the
harness shop from the front window
to the back door, was just one joy. If
schools had ever been like them, a
good many of those boys would still
be going to sch6ol. But they have
all gone now. The old boys miss
them and the boys of to -day will
never know what they have missed.
•
To Encourage Gardening
We are not a gardener. Never
were and never want to be. At the
same time we realize the necessity
of this'kind of work, and realize too,
that there are many men—if there
is any truth in them—who really do
like garden work, or, should we say,
puttering in a garden.
We always secretly admired that
kind of man, and we would like to
give him every encouragement to dig
in his own garden or in ours either.
To that end we want to tell him
what gardening did for a gardener
named Jerry Govia. Jerry was dig-
ging in a garden one day two months
ago when he dug up a tarnished
bracelet. He tried a little silver pol-
ish on it, and it sparked so brightly
he took it to a jeweller.
And this is what the jeweller said:
"The bracelet contains 144 diamonds
set in platinum. The whole bracelet
is worth more than $1,500."
Jusit think of that, or anything like
it! Of course that happened in Cali-
fornia, but you 'never can tell. There
is lots of gold and platinum in Can-
ada too. Other people have dug
them up; it may be your turn next
time.
And, finally, we would like To point
out that Jerry was not digging in
his own garden when he found that
$1,500 bracelet.
`WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY:
The Lion's Shard
(Detroit Free Frees)
ZLast week the League of Nations cadged a
heque it has been holding si'n'ce the end of April.
It was a cheque from Haile Selassie for 1,000
' Swiss francs as part payment of Ethiopia's dues.
By cashing the cheque, even at long last, the
League recognises the "Lion of Judah" as Emper-
or•of Ethiopia, in spite of the fact that most of
the League members have recognized -Kiing Vic-
tor Emmanuel of Italy es titui'ar emperor, or have ,
asserted their right to .so recognize hivi.
Cynics should find this- whole transaction rich'
in ima'plicatiou. Practically a -nen 'without a coun-

"LIGHTIN' WOOD"
It has always been my intention to
write a letter about just common ord-
inary, lightin" wood for a long time,
but something always seemed to bob
up that prevented me from doing so
However, today I want to. set forth
my 'views on this subject.
Spring rolls around to early sum-
mer and thea conies time when the
kitchen range isn't used as muoh, be-
cause of the heat You take just like
this afternoon, the wife was away and
she didn't get back any too early for
supper. She caste in the door in quite
a bustle and slipped an apron on ov-
er Quer dress and hustled a few plates
on the table. Then ,,the slid the tea-
kettle, up front on the stove and from
my vantage point behind the news-
paper I could see her frown.
"Dear me, there's no fire on. I
Must get some liglhhin' wood."
Then off she goes and out through
the back door, to the sort of im-
promptu wood yard that, there is in
the back yard. Like a mother hen
picks up scraps of corn, she tucked
up the little scraps of wood and mak-
ing a convenient catcher out of her
dress, she gathered up the wood that
was to make a fire for boiling the
tea kettle.
For as long as I can remember
there's always been enough scraps of
lightin' wood around our farm. It just
seems to be naturally there in the
back yard. Some of the time it may
be shingles that were gathered up
whenwe shingled the sheep -pen,
More often that enough, it's just plain
slivers that flew off when we were
splitting wvood-
Anothee source of supply is brought
up quite unconsciously. When you go
back the Janeway for the cows on a
summer evening, you sort of natur-
ally pick up pieces of boards and
small limbs and pile thein up along
the way. Then coming back up the
lane, you generally manage to pick
them up and lug them along for the
pile of Iightin wood in the back yard.
Every farm home bias its pile of
lightin' wood. They never take pains
to make up one, but there always
seems to be. -a source of it. City peo-
ple just flip their wrist for an elec-
tric plate to boil the kettle, but we're
not so fortunate as all that. We have
bo go out and gather up a few shin-
gles and scraps of boards and splin-
ters and then with a little twist of
paper and a matcth, they have their
kettle boiling in no time. I consider
that lightin' wood is about one of the
most essential, 'things on a farm, and
the strange part of it all is that it just
seems to sort of gather itself natur-
ally.

Grunter' discontented, Berk-
rgga ane Suchansugh, the Oollie pup,
$have embarked on a feud. They have
daily skirmishes in regard to the
legitimacy of the Berkshire's desire to
root in our garden. The pup has just
come into possession of a very lusty
voice, that he likes to try out and
the sows likes the garden very much.
It all came about when he goes on
a foray for woodchucks and she slips
through the fence where it's broken
and into the garden. Soon you will
,see him come "yipping" over the hill
and down into the garden.
"Wurr . . . uff" . . . "Oinkh!"
From may place down here in the
hayfield I can't quite see him, but
'grunter soon comes down the lane-
h,ay, looking 'completely disgusted
about the whole affair. Such'ansuch is
balking in triumph, and after he has
herded her into the barnyard, and
given her a few extra nips on the
flanks, he will come ti otting over to
where I am, confident that he has
done a • good, job. He scampers about
for a few minutes, and then sees a
wood -chuck, and he's off on arnothler
chase. Grunter, seeing that the coast
is clear, goes back up the laneway
and then the pup is back again. But
why did I bring that subject up when
I have just been told by the wife that
she's going to leave me if I don't fix
that garden fence.
JUST A SIMILE OR TWO
Sally: "How did you lose your,
job with the Swank Dress Shoppe?"
Ann: "Just for something I said.
After I tried 30 drosses on this wo-
man, she said, 'I think I'd look nicer
in something!' I asked why she
didn't go jump in the river."

in public?"

est fashions with a caller:

First Boy: " "We're picking teams,
England against Africa."
Second Boy: "Are the Africans
blacking their faces?"
First Boy: "No, the Englisch are
washing theirs."

It was Archbishop Whately who
neatly summed up the difference be-

Maitland River Covers
Wide area in four Counties
In the County of Huron, so well-
wate: ed and drained, the most im-
portant river is the Maitland, called
by tee Indians, the Menesetung, says
W. H. Johnson in the London Free
Press..., This river is somewhat un-
ique from the fact that its basin grows
rapidly narrower as it approaches the
outlet into Lake Huron at Goderich,
instead of becoming broader es that
of most rivers do.
The river drains an extensive terri-
tory, with five branches three of
which (north, middle and south) take
their rise respectively in the Town-
ship of Minto in the County of Wel-
lington' and the Townships of Wal-
lace and Dims in the County of Perth.
These three branches after flowing
through Howick, Turnberry, Grey and
Morris form a confluence at Win,gham
and then flow southward through East
and West Wawanosh and form the
boundary between Colborne and God -
h daring the remainder of its
course to the lake.
The other two minor branches emp-
ty into the Maitland in the vicinity
of Benmiller.,
The south branch has its source in
the great Elina and Logan swamp
that 60 to 80 yrs ago, contained
thousands of acres covered with wa-
ter for the greater part of the year
and in winter could not be penetrat-
ed with a team until after it was froz-
en.
Though in the early days it was
but a lumberman's rich preserve whet -
the frost was severe enough, now it
is one of the finest farming areas in
the, province. Fine gravel roads run
through it and beautiful level farms
witJl excellent buildings, are the rule,
After leaving this level plain in
Perth the tributaries flow' through a
district whets the height of land falls
rapidly to the shore of Lake Huron,
where it is 578 feet above sea level.
Consequently they cut deep courses
for themselves through the clay de-
posit, in many places, as at Benaniller
cutting down to bed rock. Thus the
Maitland is bordered by rough coun-
try Of high rugged banks and forming
beautiful° scenery.
Though flowing through this kind
of country the term meandering can
be applied to much of the course of
the river as it winds back end forth
continually and with great power pos-
sibilities in its rapid fall. It, has..of-
ten been asserted that in the early
days there were more mills run by
Water power along its course for the
manufacture of lumber, flour and
woollen products, than on any other
river in the province, It is doubtful
if thhere, be another river ,in the prov-
ince that is crossed by more bridges
and many of them were quite expen-
sive to ,build.
Along its course are to be found
many towns and villages, several of
which were helped materially in their
growth by the power contributed by
the river, In Listowel it runs under
the principal street but is not known
to be there by visitors because it is
covered and built over.
For many years the Maitland ran
through the harbor at Goderich, or
really should we say the harbor was
the mouth of the river. This had its
disadvantages when the ice moved
out in the spring as the small Draft
in the harbor were likely to move out
with it.
Some time in the early '70's the
Federal Government came to the help
of the harbor by making a grant of
something like $60,000 for the erec-
tion of a breakwater that shut the riv-
er off from running through the har-
bor and forced it to empty into the
lake to the north of it. This was a
great boon to shipping aa many ves-
sels could winter in safety in the
commodious protected) hatbor. Fre-
quently a number of large vesisels
loaded with grain for which there is
not room in the elevators, take ad-
vantage of this safe anchorage.
Because of the rapidity with which
water gets away in the spring -the
Maitland is so shallow in July and
August that little children can walk
across It on the 'rock bottom, but in
the sprinrg freshet it is a turbulent
stream.
