The C.N.E.
The fear of war has, apparently,
no immediate effect upon the Cana-
dian National Exhibition at Toron-
to, nor upon the attendance of spec-
tators, which it draws yearly, not
only from across Canada, but from
the United States, and in recent
years, from the Old Country as well.
As an exhibition, it is claimed
that the C.N.E. has no equal on the
North American continent, or any-
where else. And we can readily be-
lieve it. In fact, we have been told
by people who are in a position to
make comparisons, and some of
these American citizens, that neither
the New York World's Fair nor the
Sari. Francisco Fair, as exhibitions,
are in the same class as the C.N.N.
The former may, perhaps, have
larger, newer and more sensational
buildings and features, but they lack
the all round diversity and excel.-
lence of exhibits which make up the
Canadian National.
And there must be something in •
that claim too, because in the face of
much more widely advertised attract,. --
tions, the attendance at Toronto this
year is greater than ever before.
This is evidenced by the fact that
during the first two days of the Fair
this year the attendance mark was
over six thousand above that of last
year-

The Combine Is here To Stag
There is, perhaps, no easier way of
getting -into an argument up here in
the country these days, than to
praise or run down the merits and
demerits of the new grain combines.
The combine, of course, is not new
in the West, where it has been in op-
eration for a decade, but Old ' On-
tario is more conservative, and it is
only within the passtyear or two that
it has }become a more or less serious
'contender with the old and more
established ways of conducting On-
tario harvest operations_
As we say, the Ontario farmer is
conservative in his methods of oper -
,ation. • For most of us it is a far
away cry to the day when grain was
cut with a cradle and threshed out
on the barn, floor with a -flail. But
there was such a day,. and whether
we remember it or not, the introduc-
tion of the reaper and then the self -
binder caused just the same discus-
sion as is going on to -day over the
merits and demerits of the new com-
bines.
Then, as now, the reaper and then
the binder had their champions, as
well as those who denounced them
as impracticable, extravagant and
wasteful. But the reaper and then
the binder replaced the sickle, the
scythe and thecradle so completely
that without them to -day it would
be an utter impossibility for farm-
ers to take off a harvest.
It will be that way we venture to
say, with the new co±nbines. It will
,take a little time, of course, even
perhaps a generation, as it some-
times takes for new farming opera-
tions to gain popularly and a firm
foothold, but the combine is here in
Ontario and it is here to stay.

There Is A Difference
.'here is a great deal of difference
lin the outlook of the people of Can-
a . regarding war in this last week
144 August, 1939, and that which pre -
during the first week of Aug-
` 1914.
`914 there was a romance and
about war. We had heard

lir It was looked upon as a great
adventure, with music and travel
thrown in for good measure.
If war comes -in 1939 the youth of
Canada will rush to enlist too. Make
' no mistake about that, but it will be
from far different motives than in ,
that other August. There is no ro-
mance arid' glamour in war, and
present-day youth knows it.
OF if he does not know it, his
father or his brother knows it from
bitter experience and will pass the
word along. The experiences of the
last war are too recent and too in-
grained to forget so soon.

.Barn Fires
There has been a distressingly
large number of barn fires in all
parts of Ontario in recent weeks..
Less than a week ago one farmer,
just a few miles from this district,
lost three barns in one fire, and suf-
fered an estimated loss of oyer ten
thousand dollars.
The loss of a barn is a serious mat-
ter to any farmer at any time, but
coming at this time of year, and par-
ticularly this year when there is a.
bumper crop and barns are full to
capacity with grain and hay, the loss
is more than crippling.
Spontaneous combustion, we are
told, has been blamed for many of
these fires. And that May easily be
true. There has been a great deal
of rain in some sections, and many
farmers have been too anxious to
take advantage of good weather to
always allow time for proper cur-
ing.
Whatever the cause, we have had
so many fires that farmers are
becoming careful as well as anxious
about their barns and crops., And
carefulness would surely pay at this
season of the year.
It would take time, of course, and
not always be convenient, but one
would think that a thorough inspec-
tion of a barn and its contents at
least once a day, or the last thing ev-
ery night, would .not be too heavy a
price to pay,for safety, and in most
cases it would ensure just that.
The time tp stop a barn fire is be-
fore it starts because rarely does one
have the luck to stop one after it
does start. That is why carefulness
nearly always spells °safety. 'And be
particularly careful to carry ade-
quate insurance.

No Need To Copp Him
A week ago at Bonneville Salt
Flats, Utah, John R. Cobb, of Lon-
don, England, drove hiS twenty-four
cylinder "Railton Red Lion" racing
car down a measured mile at a speed
of over six miles per minute, or at
the rate of 369.23 miles an hour.
That is the fastest speed that a
man has gone on land,and was a
wonderful feat, even for an English -
Man.' But we hope the matter. will
be allowed to rest right there.
This and other week -ends have
forced upon us the conclusion that
there' must be quite a few would-be
John R. Cobb's right here in this
part of Ontario.
They didn't hit a six -mile -a -minute
clip, of course, but they did their
best. And that best was some clip
too. Mr. Cobb may have a host of
admirers, and no doubt has, but we
earnestly hope not one of them will
try to copy him here in 'Ontario.

*Some say that the English have a
genius for compromise, that they pre-
fer to take things as they come, to
make the best of circumstances, and
to "miuddie through" instead of fol-
lowing some definite rule or plan
On the whole I think this is true.
Like Moliere's Monsieur Jourdain,
who talked prose without knowing it,
they practice relativity without quite
knowing what relativity may 11d. In
their minds it has got mixed up with
Einstein and abstruse mathematical
calculations about 'space' and 'time.'
When one tells them that relativity
really means: "It all depends," they
are mildly astonished and slightly
bored.
I have long put down the English
genius for compromise to the fact
that they have no climate but only
weather. Hence their constant talk
of the • weather. This sumtmer they
have' come near to having a climate
in the form 'of constant rain --and
they grumble at it. Somebody has re-
marked what Lord Byron wrote: "The
English winter ends in July, to begin
again in August." This is a calumny
thdugh, like many calumnies, it holds
a grain of truth. Yet, here again,
relativity creeps in, This "summer,"
chance :has taken me by road from
the extreme west to the extreme east
pf England, and right through the
southern Midlands. Where, in the-
ory, the crops ought to have • been
hopelessly "laid" by storms and cloud
bursts, L have seen splendid fields of
upstanding wheat, oats and barley,
with only the belated hay crop look-
ing a bit weary and sorry for itself.
Nature seems to have taken things
as they came andto have madle the
beet of them --
So it id with our "common" peo-
ple. The shadow of war has lain up-
on them., but they have gone drn their
way uncomplainingly as though it
were all in the day's' work. Among
themselves they have talked of little
else, hardly noticing the weather. No-
where among them have I found ner-
vousness or "jitters." If anybody,
anywhere, thinks of getting the bet-
ter of these folk in a "war of nerves"
somebody, somewhere, may blunder
badly.
Such n,ervoueness as there has been
or is, might rather be found among
the "upper" classes and. the "Intel-
lectuals." They,' however, have rea-
sonde themselves into a state of mind
which they express by saying; "14
the worst comes to the worst we
shall have to go through with it,"
With few exceptions I think . that
their reserves of net
he a -
v
power are
likewise aldn{ost untouched. •And on
one Point ley are in complete agree-
ment with •• the "continent' people
there is no relativity in their feelings
about "Hitler."
This is a curious, and 'maybe a sig-
nificant, phenomenon. Talk of Nazi -
Fascism, of the necessity of defend-
ing "freedom" and "democracy," may
leave our people cold. They do not
like o,itlandtsh words, or combination
of words; and they think "freedom"
and "democracy' are beyond discus-
sion. But say to them: "That fel-
low, Hitler!" and they prick up their
ears, and open their mouths to utter
nouns and adjectives that would not
look well in print, "Hitler," not the
German nation or people, is their bug
bear, the disturber of their peace of
mind.
More than g' hundred years age, I
suppose, our people felt like this
about Napoleon Bonaparte. I came
across surviving traces of that feel-
ing in my early youth. Even in the
later 'seventies of last century pious,
elderly folk would whisper that "Na-
poleon" had been only another name
for "Apollyon" of the "Pilgrim's Pro-
gress." So, today, if Hitler "has to
go" at us or our friende, "it's up to
us," our people feel, to see that he
gets at least as good as he sends.
Thismood explains the widespread
wish that our Government should be
strengthened by putting in -to it men
whom we can trust to stand up to
"Hitler." It accounts for the aagry
words on both sides of the House of
Comnxons when Mr, Neville Chamber-
lain, the Prime Minister, rejected the
proposal that Parliament should meet
at regular intervals during the sum-
mer recess, The "country," usually
so relative, Chas come to distrust and
to fear the sort of political relativ-
ity which• it remembers as "appease-
ment." Now when the English' get
into this mood they are not far from
to , timing awkward customers for
anybody to deal with.
The question naturally arises bow
long, this mood will last, and whether
it would be proof against a lengthy
period, of strain and uncertainty.
Though I sti uld not care to answer
the question' dogmatically, one way
or the other, I am inclined to think
that there is a psychological element
in it that ought note to be overlook-
ed. This element is' the tendency of
easygoing 'people to put down their
foot and to say: "Thus far and no
farther" when they find that their
mental indolence, or what they call
willingness to give and take, bas
been misunderstood or deliberately
abused. I fancy that this tendency
will persist among our people; and,
