To Be Left In Suspense
There was intense suspense in all
the European countries over the
week -end while the whole world
➢waited the speech of Adolph Hitler
to his Nazi Convention at Nerem-
berg on Monday, on the ,Ozechos-
Il vakia crisis.
vThat speech has been delivered
aida crisis still remains. There was
nothing in Hitler's speech that point-
ed to immediate war against the
Czechs, but unfortunately there was
everything in the same speech which
has convinced the 'world that Hitler
intends to keep up, and in allprob-
ability, increase the military pres-
sure which has all Europe in alarm.
Apparently Hitler has every inten-,
tion of leaving the -world in suspense.
He may not be fully prepared for -im-
mediate war, .but he fully believes
that he is so far ahead in the armam-
ent race that other countries will be
unable to overtake him. He does not
want to make himself responsible by
declaring an unprovoked war now,
but he firmly believes thatby con-
tinuing the suspense, the nerves of
the Czech nation will break, and
some border incident will arise which
will, give him that excuse,'
In that eventuality, it will be 1914
all over again, and that is not a very
pleasing prospect for the world to
look forward to.

Even Scientists Make Mistakes ,
The British Association for the
Advancement of -Science is looked
upon, the world over, .as a body of
linen possessing much more than the
average insight, foresight and intel-
ligence. In fact, the' pronouncements
of this august body are considered
as infallible as it is possible to be.
But scientists, apparently, make
mistakes too.' And here is one of
them. At the 1896 session of the
British Association for the Advance-
' ment of Science, that body concluded
that the automobile could never be
widely used. The Association mem-
bers then expressed the opinion that
the newly inaugurated automobile
would require too much skill and its
driver would not have "the advant-
age of the intelligence of the horse
in shaping his path."
But the scientists were not entire-
ly wrong about the automobile driv-
er. There are time's when one is
forced to the conclusion that there
are a great many drivers, who do not
possess "the advantage of the intelli-
gence of the horse." Even times
when to compare the path shaped by
some drivers would not only be an in -
Suit to a hors"e's intelligence, but also
to that of many of the lower animals..
Automobiles, however, . are -the
most generally used means of trans-
portation. to -day, and, in all probabil-
ity, will continue to be until we take
to the air, and that, of course, will
be our next move. In fact we are
%already on the way.
More Taxes In The Offing
Announcement is made from To--
ionto there is every, possibility that
the Ontario Government intends to
introduce legislation at the next ses-
sion cif the Legislature providing for
creased taxation in at least two
rjlycctions. These are the reimposi

However, there is a sugar coating
to one of the tax pills that will help
in some measure to, make it more pal-
atable. The"sugar part consists in the -
promise of • the Government to return
to the municipalities, the money de-
rived from the additional tax of one
cent per gallon on gasoline. --
To this proposition, of course, the
municipalities will make no objec-
tion. In fact, there is a pronounced
belief among Ontario municipalities
that it is high time the Govern-
ment was making some return in
dollars and cents for the ever in-
creasing encroachment it has been
making on the budgets of the Munici-
palities.
Last year, it is true, ' the Govern-
ment did make a rebate of one mil
to the Ontario municipalities, and' a
very acceptable gift it was too. If
the new gas impost reaches another
mill, why all the better. The munici-
palities certainly need the money.
No taxation is looked upon with
favor by the people at large, but the
people at large are pretty generally
agreed that there are taxes and tax-
es and that one of the, most painless•
ones is the gas tax, because if one
does not want to be assessed for it,
all that one has to do is to refrain
from using gasoline.
Of course the use of gasoline has
become a necessity to a very large
proportion of the people of the Prov-.
ince. But even on these the increase
of taxation by the additional one
cent impost, will not be overly heavy,
as it is estimated that the average
cost per person will be in the neigh-
borhood of four dollars.
But even that, small as it will be,
if the new tax is imposed, it will just
about counteract the reduced price
of motor . licenses that '""Ontario
motorists have been enjoying for the
past year or two.
The amusement tax is in a some-
what similar class. Those who en-
joy patronizing shows and other en-
tertainments, will pay the tax, and
those who do not will be immune.

But Huron Didn't
To illustrate what change of
thought may occur in the short space
of twenty-five years, we quote a par-
agraph copied from the Stratford
Beacon -Herald recording the trend
of thought in Huron just a quarter
of a century ago.
And this is what that paragraph
says: "Huron County plans at God-
erich to initiate a hydro -radial
scheme to take in the West Shore
Railroad from Goderich to Kintail,
now lying idle, with bonds of $400,-
000 guaranteed by Huron and Bruce
municipalities."
What a senseless scheme that ap-...
pears to us to -day. But it was not
that way twenty-five years ago. At
that time it was looked upon, not
only as a very feasible scheme, but
as a great transportation facility
that would reap a rich harvest of
profits.
As a matter of fact, a number of
municipalities in Huron did guaran-
tee the bonds of the West Shore
Railway, and paid a sorry price for
their optimism in so doing.
Why or how Huron County kept
itself free we are unable to say, but
we do know that Huron didn't guar-
antee the bonds for any such hydro -
radial scheme, although • the pressure
must have been rathersevere at that
time. -
To -day there are few people below
the age of fifty, who have either
knowledge or recollection of the
great West Shore Radial Scheme,
and.. fewer still who could be persuad-
ed that such a fantastic scheme could
ever have been seriously considered.
But twenty-five years sago the mo-
tor industry was only in its,, infancy,
and even the wie'e and most far-sight-
ed could not see -what the motor car
and truck would do to change our
modes of transportation, including
that of the railroads.
To -day we are spending millions of
dollars to improve our roads and
highways' for these same cars and
trucks, but who can say with any
certainty that these roads and high-
ways will hot be„ as orit-dated as a

"FIXING UP"
This is September, the month of
chilly mornings and the time when
yon make resolutions to fix every-
tbing up around the farm. I was just
taking a. ramble around this morning
before breakfast and I noticed a few
of the things that I,ye been going co
do for a number of years.
First of all, there's that combined
stone -pile and junk yard down in the
east end of the orchard. It started
by some of me ancestors dumping
stones there, and• I followed suit by
adding everything that I intended to
draw away. Gradually it began to
pile up and an old roller and a culti-
vator past usefulness were added. Ev-
ery year I take a look at it and deter-
mine to 'clean it all up before, the next
year comes' along, but somehow it al-
ways remains in the same place -
There's the south end of the driv-
ing shed which has been moulting
boards -for a number of years nose.
On the way up the Janeway with the
cows I deplore the condition of the
driving shed, and resolve to get the
ladder down out of the haymow and
nail the boards back on, but somehow
1 always manage to forget it by;:after-
noQn.
Then there's the condition to the
gateway. Gates are always a plain
nuisance, sagging back and fourth and
never seeming to be in their place.
Posts crack and hinges pull out of
place. Latches seem to break and
v. -hen the brakes don't hold on the
car, it's handy to run helter-skelter
into the gate to stop• In the ,suminer-
time the gate sags dejectedly far days
at a time, and then suddenly it will
swing in its correct and proper way
to the astonishment and surprise of
everyone. In the winter they swerve
down and when melted snow freezes,
the gates are certain to be' frozen in;
to it. Chopping into the ice, it's so
easy to smash the gate. I always in-
tend fixing that gate, but never get
aroeue ea itf
Tii@ wine we in 'the' cow -stable
need fixing. I know just as wellas
anything that the lights in the stable
should be replaced now before the
cold weather sets in. In fact obole
this time every year I go and look
for the windows that I bought a year
ago. Usually something has been set
or tide parcel and they're brolten. 1
get up enougihs embltiog to travel up
to the village and buy a"new end
then bringieg them bail, tact tb,e'ln on
the window sib.. Ati eseeneas� the first

Up at the house thesees the back
door of the wood -shed which hes an
invalid lean on it. The hinges are
pulling ,away from the jamb and the
door has to be pulled and jerked and
tugged at before it will At into place
at all. The 'handle is loose and the
catch is Waken. Everyone tries to
come in the side -kitchen door in the
winter time to escape the ordeal of
trying to close that door, but some-
times you can't escape, such as when
the wife 'has • scrubbed the floor. 1
must fix that door.
It's the little things around Lazy
Meadows that are the hardest to do.
It "seems as if a fellow hates doing
the things that don't seem to accom-
plish anything. There's the back• door
stoop that slides out of place and
trips you in the dark . the jit-
ter of rubbish that should be cleaned
:up before the snow comes to' blanket
it all . . . the axe with the crack-
ed handle that's used to cut up kind,
ling in the woodshed . . . the brok-
nt verandah•--
en boards in the fr
and that's only a few.
Some day (I vow) I'm going to
take a week off and up everything
around the place. en I tell the
wife that, she just looks unconvinced
and says: "That would be too good
to be true." Now, I wonder why she
says that!

day without' having to scold you,

Young Brown got married. On pay
day•he gave his bride $20 out of his
$25 salary and kept only $5 for him-
self. The second pay day he revers-
ed the process.
"Why, Robert," she said in injured
tones, "how on earth do you think I
can manage for a whole week on a
paltry $5?"
"Hanged if I know," he answered.
"I, had a rotten time myself last week.
It's your turn now."
•
"My wife likes tea for breakfast,
while I like coffee."
"You'll soon get used to tea."
•
"Caesar was a Boman Admiral who
landed in Britain about 54 B.C., but
he had a tough struggle, and it was
not until A. D. 45 that he really made
peace. Caesar was warned to beware
of the Ideas of March."
"The Royal Mint is used by the
King at meals."
"Mattenborn was a born blown by
the ancients when anything was the

Home Destroyed By Fire
The fine red brick home of Mr. and
• Mfrs. William Dalrymple fell prey to
flames Wednesday afternoon, Augdst
31st, during the electrical storm that
commenced about 4 p.ni. There was
no one at home at the time as they
were all in attendance at a family re-
union at Lakeside. The timely ar-
rival of neighbors saved a lot of the
furniture, but a euro of money, jew-
els and watches were destroyed. The
family have moved into Blyth to the
north section of the school house and
are planning on building immediately.
A bee was held on' Saturday and Mon-
day cleaning out the entire founda-
tion ready for work to proceed on the
new shome. Mr. Robert Patterson, al-
so suffered from the fire. He had
been away on a visit to the West and
upon returning home discovered that
all his belongings, consisting or house-
hold furniture and clothing, had been
completely demolished by the flames.
The loss is a hard one, but friends
will be glad to hear of the intention
of Mr. and Mrs. Dalrymple to build
again.—Blyth Standard..

Why Not A Rain Garden ?
The Japanese could have developed
such a gard,eu, the Japanese, that is,
when thinking of gardens and not of
war. It may bethere are rain gar-
dens today in Japan, though 1 have
not heard of them -
Have you ever gone into a garden,
any kind of garden, after rain and no-
ticed how different leaves differ do
the way they hold) raindrops? Some
leaves merely look wet. Others hold
large drops like balls of quicksilver.
I suppose such leaves have an oily
or waxy surface which prevents wa-
ter from spreading over them thinly.
On columbine leaves I have seen: per -
feet drops of water nearlyif au
inch in diameter. The lupine leaf
also provides an excellent setting for
drops the size 'and brilliance of crown
jewels. Maybe you have sometime
held a nasturtium leaf in your hands
and, by tipping it this way and that,
have made a drop of water run round
the leaf without being broken. It is
the deaf, you note, and not the flower
that does the trick. In a rain garden,
the flowers play second fiddle to the
leases. Sun for flowers, we might
soy, and leaves for rain.
* * *
How slow the human family is to
see the beauty of rain. • The painters
and the artist in leack and white
have dame most to open our eyes. By
seeing ,how beautiful rain can be in
pictures, we come to see how beau-
tiful it is in nature. Have the poets
helped us, too? Not as much as they
might have, it seems, to me. As for
the composers, I can think of only
one, Debussy with his. atmospheric
"Jardine sous 1a-pluie."
To the people one meets on the
street a rainy day as a nasty day, a
miserable day, or just a wet day. The
best they can do is to take the Seen
philosophically. (They think they are
taking it ,philosophically). They ad-
riiit , the earth nee& rain, but they
prefer to have it fall during the night.

When we have learned to llve with

—we will find more to praise in rt.
We will be ready for rain 'gardens:
The finest time to visit a rain gar-
den is after the rain has stopped and
the eun first comes out. Or when
the moon Domes out. At such times,
one can enjoy the sensations of a
maharaja, in leis treasure room: If
there • is any other time to compare
with these, it is early on a clear
morning with sun shining on dew.
Dew is even finer, in a way, than
rain. Its jewels, ,•though much smal-
ler, are far more numerous, and: some
leaves that do not hold raindrops very
well are exquisite in dew. Oft• all the
leaves 1 know, the finest for dew ef-
fects is the purple cabbage.
In a, rain garden, why shouldn't we
for once get away from our, Hindu
caste system of plants: flowering
plants, herbs, vegetables, and tee par-
iah weede? Since there are plants
of all these classes that hold rain
gracefully, why shouldn't they be
planted together? Why not roses and
cabbages side by side? Why not a
democratic garden? A garden as im-
partial and yet as diseriminating as
the rain itself?
Place' your rain garden close to the
house, so that you can enjoy it from
a window whiie it Is still raining;
and so that, after the rain has stop-
ped. you will not be discouraged' from
visiting the garden by a long walk
through wet grass. Shouldn't a rain
