Away To A Good Start
The Canadian National Exhibition
at Toronto is away to a good start.
If Friday and Saturday of last week,
the first two days of the Exhibition,
are any indication, the attendance
record will again be broken this
year_
The attendance on Saturday broke
old second -day records, and the to-
tal attendance for the two clays was
an increase of forty-four thousand
over the attendance Of the first two
days of last year.
We earnestly hope that the attend-
ance records will continue to go by
the board. The Canadian National
is the most unique exhibition of its
kind. In 'fact, there are none just
like it. It is the largest exhibition
of its kind on the North American
continent, and no other exhibition
can approach it for the size and ex-
cellence of its live stock entries; its
manufacturing ` exhibits; its farm
and horticultural products and its
special attractions.
Year by year its fame is becoming
more widespread. Every year sees
an increase in United States visitors,
and even the Old Country is begin-
ning to sit lip and take notice of it.
It is the fair of all fairs.
This distinction has not been gain-
ed' without a vast expenditure of
work, organization and money, and
ninny times its promoters have met
with discouragement and disappoint-
ment, but never yet have they lost
faith in its ultimate success.
Last year, for instance, there was
an infantile paralysis epidemic at its
height when the fair dates came
round. Asa result, the attendance
was shot to pieces. The country peo-
ple shunned it as they would a plague
and the city dwellers were not much
les fearful.
But this is another year, and the
Canadian National is, apparently,
more popular than it ever was. And
it deserves to be. But while it is the
fair of all fairs, it is not the only, one
by any means. After it come the
others, much more modest, of course,
but occupying a prominent place in
the agricultural and social life of
many smaller places in Ontario.
Toronto is followed by London,
and then come the fall fairs in our
own County of Huron, Exeter, Sea -
forth and Zurich, all of which have
their own place. And a good place
it is too. We hope our local fairs
this year are as successful in their
own way as Toronto promises to be.

There Is Monep In It
We do not know what your opin-
ions of the liquor traffic are, but
whether they are pro or con, we be-
lieve you will ,have to admit that
a tax revenue producer the liquor
traffic has just about every other tax
income backed' off the map.
The Dominion Bureau, of Statis-
tics reported 'on August 25th that
liquor taxes had brought $26,086,000-
to
26,086,000to the Donfinion Treasury during the
mal year 193748. This: was an in -
Se' of $3,285,000 over the previous

Columbia, ..$ 3,607,000. Prince Edward
Islandis under prohibition, and, ata
a consequence, did not reap any
liquor taxes.
As we say, we do not know what
your opinions about liquor are, but
we think we are on pretty safe
ground when we say that there is a
pretty general opinion in Ontario,
at least, that if the Government
would display as much action and in-
terest in the control of the sale of
liquor/and supervision over the plac-
es where it is dispensed, as it does in
collecting the taxes from this source,
there would not be the very rapidly
increasing demand in the rural dis-
tricts for another trial of total pro-
hibition.
•
Canada Is Affected Too
We, in Ontario, are wont to look
upon the China -Japanese 'war as
something remote. Something that
draws our attention only when it
makes. the first pages of our news-
papers, because of a lack' of more in-
teresting or alarming news from
Europe or our own Dominion.
But there is much more to it than
that. In fact, we learn from a visi-
tor from Vancouver that the war in.
China has all but paralyzed business'
in British Columbia.
The surplus products of the farm,
the forest and the factories of Bri-
tish Columbia and a large propor-
tion -of the surplus of ogler Western
Provinces, have always been export-
ed to foreign countries.
Now there is no exportation. And,
as the local consumption is only a
fraction of the production, the mar-
ket for almost everything the far
West Provinces is glutten beyond
hope of relief.
And the thing that has stopped ex-
portation is the war. On` account of
the . eastern war, insurance rates on
boats and cargoes to foreign ports
have become prohibitive.' No ,ship-
per can afford to pay them, nor to
take the risk. „Consequently manu-
facturing and lumbering has prac-
tically ceasel. Grain is a drug on the
market.
Nor is there likely to be any im-
provement in British Columbia and
far Western business for sonte time
to come.A. Distance and costs make
rail shipments to the Atlantic sea-
board impossible, and as long as the
trouble continues in the east, there
will be little movement in export on
the Pacific.
And what affects the west will,
eventually, affect the east, and On-
tario, which is in between:

Streamlined Rural Mail Boxes
The average rural mail box is a
good deal easier for the patron to
handle than it is for the rural mail
courier. There are some perfect
ones, of course, but we are, talking
about the average, and the door on
the average mail box is something
that won't stay shut; that won't stay
open; that breaks off ; that sticks,
and that always squeaks. 7 --
That does not bother the man who
is getting his mail. He only has
one box to open. With the courier,
however, it is something else. He
has several miles of them to open
and close, and in wet and wintry
weather that is some job when he
has to use a different technic on al-
most every box.
Apparently the rural mail couriers
across the line have experienced
similar troubles with the boxes . of
their patrons. But now they are go-
ing to end it all. At least, we notic-
ed the other day that at the thirty-
fifth annual convention of the Unit-
ed States rural mail couriers, that
body passed a very considered judg-
ment upon a new streamlined mail
box, and the Post Office Department
is likely to give its approval.
The new streamlined mail box has
no o door at all. Nothing to open or
close, or stick, or . anything Ase. All
the mail man has to do is to press a
finger on the rear of the box and
the entire cover swings up and .back.
Simple arid ems; isn't it . We, in
Canada are living in a pretty fast
age, so nthe next thing we know we
'gill be streamlining our rural nail
boxes too.

SEPTEMBER
It's: September and the reghts are
starting to get just chilly enough,_to
make a person endoy sleeping with
the window up a trifle. To my mind.
this Is the best - month of the year,
and the Fall dampness and rawness
still hasn't pet in.
Tom, the turkey gobbler, has start-
ed to make a disgrace of himself
again. Last week bhe' old apple •tree
at the end of the barnyard was plenty
good enough for a roosting place.
This week lie has started to lead his
flock all over the farm. One night
you'll find them burdening the Iittle
ironwood' tree in the laneway, and the
next night on top of the driving shed,
or over at Neighbor Higgin's place.
I don't know' what gets into turkeys
in the Fall, but they gather up a
wandering instinct from some place
and try and wear out a person's pat-
ience.
The hens are having a feast in the
stubble. You see little dots of white
as the Leghorns keep up a continual
foray for stray grain all day through-
out the -stubble fields. The 1leered
Rocks make the occasional sally into
the field, .but being 'of a lazier and
more easygoing `way they like to dust
in their beauty bath in the afternoon
and wait for feed at night time.
Pigs in clover! We turned Bessie
the Berk into the field of red clover
with her chunky family and they are
really having the time of their lives.
Of course, like alt pigs they must get
through the wire fence and into, the
orchard where the apples are starting
to ripen. It keeps. Mrs. Phil at wit's
end to see that' they don't encroach
on the garden where she has a trea-
sure -loving waiting to be preserved.
Admiral Drake is quite thankful for
the recent wet spell which left, a con-
venient pond down the east fiats be-
side the Big Hill. Every morning
you'll see him leading the fleet out
to the pond. They disport themselves
in aquatics and then come home at
night, to gobble up all the feed that
they can find. I sometimes believe
that a duck eats more trban any other,
fowl or an iakai on the farm.
The cattle seem to be putting on
weight these last few dayS". I guess
the let-up in heat hes given them the
opportunity to make up.for'whet Old
Sol roasted off them in the beginning
of August.
I like September . . , 'it's the
month when everybody seems to be
happy with tbemselves and • they're
not in too much of a hurry to sit
dawn; ,and have a chat. I know the
price of wheat is low and foreign of-,
fairs look bad and, all that, but some-
how when you sit down in the orch-
ard and munch at an apple or smoke
your pipe, you just can't help but
have a contented feeling inside you.
Over in the distance on the Tenth
Concession they're still threshing, and
pretty soon they'll be silo filling. It's
just a mite early' to start thinking of
Winter and you're still enjoying sum-
mer.
The boys are not so happy, howev-
er, 'here at Lazy Meadows. The
youngster who gave himself up so
completely to the task of forgetting
about'school finds that lie has to start
gathering up his books again. How-
ever, there.is some consolation in the
fact that they are going to have a
new teacher.. That means interest at
least for the first few days. Heil
polish an apple and eorub himself up
until he shines and set off to see what
the new teacher looks like. For the
first week he'll fall for her complete-
ly, but as• she bears down and starts
pounding the knowledge into his
cranium he'll start developing' sick-
ness in the morning. After a dose of.
castor oil, he will make up his mind
just as you and I did back iii school
days that "you• can't win," and go on
grumbling for the rest of the term
against the present system of educa-
tion.
And pretty soon the Fall Fairs will
begin. I'm looking forward to a
mighty good time at ours this year.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO

"The date?" the examiner replied.
"Come, come, sir—the date is of no

left and get you, if you do any mis-

The ,customer was, protesting about
the high price of vegetables, so fin-

radishes for a penny a bunch. They

tomer, "I am supposed to eat only
green vegetables!!"

Hospitalization Costs Rise
An interesting comparison between
Huron hospital costs in 1930 and 1937
is made by C. H. O. in a recent issue
of the Beaconelerald. In the seven
years the costs of hospitalization of
indigents in this county has increas-
ed over 100 per cent,
One of the many results of the de-
pression, which soon will be blossom-
ing into its ninth year (although It
seems a lot longer) has been the in-
crease of indigent hospital costs.
Huron County offers as good as ex-
ample as any of how there costs have
rocketed in the last few years. The
following figures will show quite
clearly how the oosts have risen in
Huron since the first full year of bhe
slump:
1930 $ 9,362
1931 10,532
1933 18,697
1935 19,220
1937 19,942
The big jump 'in the costs took
place, it will be seen, between 1931
and 1930 --that was during what they
called the very bottom of the depres-
sion, but instead of decreasing :since
then they have continued to rise slow-
ly, Ire some towns and townships the
annual cost of hospitalizing indigent
patients is actually higher than the
ebst of supplying and administering
relief.
When an indigent patient' Is sent
to the hospital, Huron County pays
the full bill and then charged back
50 per cent. of it to bhe town, village
or township In, which the patient re-
sides. After, 90 days in hospital, how-
ever, the cou'rlty assurees bhe fall• east
of keeping bhe patient , there. The
cost Is "$1:75 per day.
Last year the tots) cost to Huron
County, for thoseetalization of indig-
ent patients ifea419,942, Of this sum
$12,213 was for patients, eanfined to
regular hospitals turd. $7,729 for pat-,
Mfits• eonfi;ried to eaffitoria, Instead of
gettifig back niter $6,100 from the
xilltufeltialltlen an their! ire of the
cost of the patients in regular hospi-
tals, the county gob back only $3,403,
which reveals that many of the non -
pay patients remained in hospital
much longer than 90,.days. At the
present time one indigent patient in
Huron has been in hospital for near-
ly two year and another one for one
year. The cost of maintaining each
of these patients in hospital for a
year is $638.75, but the county gets
back only $157.50 from the municipal-
ity.
On July 1st this year the province
took over full cost of sanatorium pa-
tients, whereas the county previously
had shouldered the entire burden. Be-
ing relieved of this cost will mean
considerable to isbe county annually,
as sanatorium patients last year cost
Huron $7,729.
While on the subject of what the
depression has done it might be in-
teresting to. compare the prices of
farm produce which obtained on this
sane August day in 1929. Things
were booming ,nine years ago now
and people were riding the crest of
a wave of prosperity. Wages were
good, stocks. were yielding mtllions'in
paper profits; the farmers were get-
ting big prices, for what they sold.
But two .months later the bottom had
fallen out of things and the depres-
sion hada arrived. And, as far as we
can determine, it is still with us. •
Nine years ago Friday hoge were
bringing the farmer $14.50, while they
are bringing $12.25 in Stratford.
Wheat was selling at, $1.30 a bushel
and today it is worth around 60 cents,
Oats were selling at 60 cents and to-
day they are 25 cents. Barley Was
75 ifents a bushel and now it is bring-
ing 40 cents. Eggs were 40 ,cents a
dozen ail • butter was 42 cents for
the. best , grade. Now eggs are 26
centsefor Grade 'A' and butter is 23
cents. Lambs were selling at $13 In
August, 1929, and today they are epee quo.
ed at around $8.50. All of ioh
gives yeti an dd'ea of how time farmer
haft, fared: since the daaa of '29.

Oil Drilling Equipment on Property
The oil drilling equipment arrived
on the site of the first probable oil
well last Saturday when four truck
loads of various kinds of machinery
were brought up and the remainder
arrived early this week. The con-

erection of the machinery, and ex-
pect to go into action within a week.
The drill is powered by a 100 H.P.
engine and consumes fifty gallons of
gasoline a day. The men will work
twenty-four hours a day in two shifts
of twelve hours each. Just how far
they can 'drill in a day depends on
various conditions so that no safe es-
timate can be given. Already a targe
number of people have visited the
Joe Mann farm where the drillers are
located, and when the work com-
rhences it is quite probable there will
be a crowd of interested spectators-
