As We Were
Mr. Hitler has made his Berlin
speech, a speech awaited with the
keenest interest and anxiety the
world over. It was a belligerent and
abusive speech, but . there was no
proclamation of war in it; conse-
quently as this is written, we are
just about in the same position as we
were before its delivery.
In England, in France, and in the
United States, there is still a belief
in many quarters that Mr. Hitler,
while setting Saturday, October lst,
as the time limit, has not completely.
shut the door on further negotia-
tions tending towards a peaceful so-
lution.
One thing we can be assured of,
however, is the fact that while Bri-
tain will do everything in its power
duringthe next four days to promote
-a peaceful solution of the Czech
problem, it will not stand for a Ger-
man invasion of that 'country.
• One other thing that is apparent
to all the world now is that the terms
which Mr. Hitler outlined to the Bri-
tish Prime Minister a week ago as
those Germany would be prepared to
accept from Czechoslovakia, and
which both Britain and France pre-
vailed upo.,that country to accept,
are as different as black and white
to the terms which he now insists
upon.
It is upon these second terms that
the peace of the world hangs and the
entire decision rests with Mr. Hitler
-during the next four days.

The Future Of The Fall Fair
That the Fall Fair, as it is known
throughout Ontario, has had a past,
there can be no denying. And a
rather glorious past it has been too.
For three parts of a century in
rural ,Ontario, it has had its place,
and for the greater part of that time
that place has been first as an educa-
tional and social feature .in the life
of the country districts.
Fall fair day, wherever it happen-
ed to be, was a red letter day in that
particular district. It put on display
the best live stock, the best grain,
fruit, roots and vegetables that the
district possessed, and it brought out
the people for a radius of fifteen or
twenty miles.
From :early morning until late at
night the streets of the town or vil-
lage where the Fall Fair was being
held, were crowded with town and
country people., People who came
out to see the best fruits of the land;
to compare merits of the best live
stock; to learn the best methods -of
cultivation; the best methods of lied
stock breeding, and to learn how the
other fellow did it.
And there was more -than that to
it. Fall fair day was something of
an annual shopping day. People who
rarely came to the town at any other
time of year, came to see what the
merchants had on display, and came
to buy that merchandise. From the
merchant's point of view, apart from
the Christmas season, it was the bus-
iest and most profitable day of the
year.
'How times have changed. To -day
the fall fair day barely makes a rip-
Ple on the business life of, the town,
and the automobile has brought
ahout that change: Fifteen or twen=

. THE HURON EXPOSITOR ..
i ort ..,%all fairs have become profes-
sional, ethibits. People are making
a busess of exhibiting at fairs, and
these eathibits are met- i> 1 every de-
partment.
The fact that some of these so-call-
ed professional exhibits are, perhaps,
better than the amateur ones is be-
side the point. The point is that t14e
prize money, which is almost entirely
contribbited by the locality in which
the fair is held, is not returned to that
locality, but is taken away to others
often far distant. And with that
trend has gone, much of the educa-
tional and social features, as well as
most of the .benefits of the fall fair
to the local community.
For that reason community cen-
tres where 'fall fairs are being held
are beginning to ask 'themselves if
there is any future for)he,faYl fair;
whether it would not be wise for the
people in those centres 'to save the
money they have been contributing,
and to let the fair die' a natural death.
And, let it be said, there is a great
deal of justification fpr that growing
belief. In' recent years the people in
those communities have been con-
tributing more than their share of
the, prize money. •
In other days contributing prize
money was a fair investment fors a
merchant. But that is no longer the
way it works out. Today what, money
is left by the so-called professional -
al exhibitor goes to the people in the
townships, and what., the townships
contribute to the prize list is a .'small
matter, compared to . the contribu-
tions of the towns and the Govern-
ment.
In fact a good many fall fair
boards look to the towns and the
Government to furnish the money to
keep them in operation, and the
Government, as well as the towns,
are well aware of that fact. So much
so that there is every prospect that
the Government is going to discon-
tinue the policy of making grants to
fall fairs regardless of their situa-
tion and the manner in which they
are being run.
In future it is quite possible that
the Government will refuse to make
a grant to more than one or two
fairs in a single county. Even that
they will only support a county fair.
In many ways a county fair, from
the social, .agricultural. and educa-
tional viewpoint, could be made a
great success, but before that stage
is reached it will take a great deal
of time, thought' and organization,
and those are three things sadly
lacking in a great majority of the
present Boards of Agricultural So-
cieties.
•
The Lessons From War
There are many lessons that war
teach, if only nations would learn
and profit by them. Perhaps the
greatest of these is that war .bene-
fits no participant.
Another is that the daily standard
of living in both winning and losing
countries suffers through higher
living costs; higher production costs,
and loss' of trade. ,
Not only is the standard of living
lowered during the actual war per-
iod, but for decades after people will
suffer alower standard of living be-
cause of the crushing burden of debt
upon their shoulders. One has only
to compare the financial position of
Canada in 1914 to that of to -day, to
fully realize that fact.
And then we should know that
there are no more such things as
„short wars, that they always outlast
every expectation.
Who would, or could have believed,
in 1014, that the world war would
have lasted four years? Or who
would have believed th,t the present
Spanish civil war would begin its
third year? Or that Japan would be
`still just about where she started in-
stead of completing the conquest of
China in the course of over a' year?
And that there. would be over a mil-
lion military casualties in the course
of that short time?

"A 6..ETTER"
There's nothing quite like the look
on a mother's faee when she walks
autl to a mail box, with an. expectant
sort of smile, for a letter from her
son or daughter and then finds only
a mail order ca.talogu'e or a circular
letter. You can almost see the pain
in her heart, and sometimes there's a
pair of .,ears that 'take a daub with
an apron' corner to wipe away.
But if she's like most mothers,
She'll say; "I guess there must be
somite reason. They're probably busy,
and maybe there'll be one tomorrow."
Then the next day comes along, and
she goes out once more . . • and no
letter , - and so on. And down
in her heart she jut won't give up
thinking that penhaps they'll write in
the next week . . . and• that goes
on for months. Perhaps Johnny or
Mary,, or whoever they may be, are
:out of work or they are hard up . . .
and ten chances to one they keep say-
ing that they will write tomorrow, but
tomorrows is always a day away.
If we could see when we were
young, just how much a letter means,
we would Write more often. We don't
forsee then, that some day we may
be in the same position , . when
an investment of three cents in a
stamp, a sheet of paper and an en-
velope, can bring sheer joy into our
hearts. I hope that at least one bo&
or girl reads my humble effort, and'
that they wall sit down and write a
letter home. The joy brought to one
mother's heart will be more than am-
ple pay foe the little labor expended.
Never say "I'll write mother a let-
ter tomorrow.', As I said, tomorrow
is always a "day away . . . write
mother today. There'll be a smile'on
her face, --and she'll keep that letter
tucked away in her apron pocket, au•d
while Dad sits in the rocker at night
she'll pull it out and slip on her specs
and read it. And when the 'neighbors
drop in, there'll be a proud smile as
she says: "I heard from my son to-
day." And you'll follow that there
will be joy in her heart because you
remembered to, write. •
* m to
Last night I wrote tibe first part
of the letter and I _intended • to finish
u'p today with an article of profound
importance. It was to be a great and
scientific story, 'couched in phraseol-
ogy unknown to the ordinary letters
of mine, and dedicated to those schol-
ars who are laboring with pen and
pencil to bring Ontario out of the ag-
ricultural doldrums. Ontario has been
-slaved that worry by a queer quirk- of
Fate.
A window in the stable, imrsiediate-
ly over the top of the Chop bin, was
smashed in some strange way the
other night. I have my suspicion a
new baseball and bat were to blame,
but I refrained from. saying anything
about it to the boys. In place of that
I decided because of the driving rain
that was' spoiling the chop, to repair
it.
Straining in every muscle, I pried
the window loose, and intended to
bring it over to the driving shed for
repair. I eased down off the chap
bin, and groped blindly with one 'foot -
for the overturned water pail to
break my Step down to the floor of
the passageway. The pail having a
substantial handle, had two lugs en
the sidles for holding the handle, and
the pail' - rocked 'back and forth on
this. It teetered wildly for a mom-
ent, and I swayed with the window
back and forth to the extremity
on both sides, and then after a tan-
talizing period it swooped down and
I went with it,
The result'? The window was
smashed completely and the upper
portion of my skull dented • in the
rock elm,boards on the front of the
horse stalls. At least that is what it
felt like! Pieces of, glass. were sprink-
led insmy skin, and nay temper went
sky 'high. Talk about control. I lost
it most completely and kicked at the
pail witli no more coperete 'results
than to stub my toe.
I find it hard to get in the mood
for a profound article ° and so the
readers are spared.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO •
Mr. Brown was sitting down to
breakfast one morning when he was
astounded to see in the paper an an-
nouncement of his death. He rang up
his friend Smith.
"Hello, Smith," he said, "have you
seen the announcement of my death
in the paper?"
"Er -yes," replied Smith, "where
are you talking from?"
"I say, 1Pa," said little Tommy,
"didn't you tell me the other day that
it was wrong to strike anyone smaller
than yourself?"
"Yea, Tommi*, that's what I said,"
confessed the fond parent.
"Well, I wds•h you'd write my teach-
er a note to that effect," said the
youngster. "I don't think she knows
about it."

Wolf Shot Near Teeswater
For some time a wolf has been
causing considerable damage east of
Teeswater. As a result of. its activi-
ties several men went scouting for
it on Sunday and Mr. McIntyre, Tees -
water baker, shot the animal on the
grass farm •of Bob Aitken, 1% miles
east of Teeswater. The animal which
was 'half grown, was responsible, it is
believed, for the great number of
sheep killed in that section of Cul-
ross. Last week Davids Carruthers, of
Kinloss, had a four-year-old steer kill-
ed by a wolf or welves.-Wi'ngham
