• Our M.P.'s
In a recent editorial on the sub-
ject of -our Members of Parliament,
the Saskatoon Star-Pheonix says:
"The obvious thought is that to -day
-members either give less personal at --
tendon to their Constituencies, are
less in direct touch with -those they
represent, or that the larger popula-
tion, its concentration in small areas,
make such personal touch impossible
to the same degree as formerly. But
it also suggests' that the individug-*
member is becoming less important
in public thinking and the issues
which must be decided more import-
ant."
And there is more than a little
truth in those statements. For some
• years it has become very noticeable
• that many Members of Parliament
are giving less personal attention to
their- constituencies. Of course the
duties of a member, particularly in
the Federal House, are at the best
heavy and very often onerous, and
at the same time demand his atten-
• tion at Ottawa for at least half the
months of the year. But his is, or ,
should be, an all-time job, and he still
has six months to cultivate his con-
• stituency. •
• 'Not so many years ago a Member
of Parliament was the most import-
ant man in his community, a position
he held regardless of the political
party he represented in the House.
He was consulted on all the issues
of the day, large and small, and his
summary of events was always re-
specte, if not always concurred in.
And usually he was deserving of the
high place he held among his con-
stituents.
• Mini" Mat day a Member of Par-
li'ament was very human. His posi-
tion did not place him beyond the
reach or approach of others. He was
a man among men and very much
one of them; He did not rule and
direct from Ottawa or Toronto, • or
try to. He did not consider it suffici-
• ent to show himself only on special
occasions, but he travelled the high-
• ways and the concession roads until
. he knew every one in his constitu-
• ency, and what is still more import-
ant; until every constituent knew
him.
That was the way he gained the
confidence of the people, and that
was how he was able in no small
• measure to form public opinion. He
was known not only as a member,
but as -a man in a position to have
first hand information, therefore,
his opinions were worth something,
and moreover, they knew the man.
Those kind of members were call-
-- ed politicians, of course, but it was
good healthy politics they played and
it was in the best interests of the
country, the way they played them.
Far better than shunning their con-
stituencies entirely and leaving the
people to form unenlightened opin-
ions of their own.
The average member, and particu-
• larly the member of a rural constitu-
ency, can be of vastly more benefit
to his own people as well as to *the
country at large by travelling the
concessions than he can by taking up
rte time of Parliament in futile talk
and useless debate. ,
• . R is only given to few men to be -
'come leaders and to form . public
•opiiiion, but if. those opinions are
•just -and right and in the best inter-
• ests of the country, the smaller mem-
• ber can convey those opinions more
,1early and convincingly to the peo-
ple in his tiwn constituency than any
Ober person, 6r can be done by any
Other -means.

Well, what about Huron? This

1914, and.its right to remain dry has
been upheld by every court in the
land, including the Supreme Court
of Canada—but Huron has beverage
rooms and plenty of them, every one
of which was placed there by Mr.
Hepburn in the face of the court de-
cisions.
Consequently one could not blame
the Temperance forces very much if
they failed to place much confidence
in Mr. Hepburn's local option laws

No Manpower Shortage
The shortage of manpower, which
is casting its shadow over Hitler, has
apparently no counterpart in China,
according to Gen. Cheng Tseh-jen,.
the Chinese Director of Conscrip-
tion, who said China would call two
million new soldiers each • year for
the next three years.
And, the General added, that al-
though China mobolized a large
number of men in the first five years
of war with Japan and was planning
to call up six million more, those in
the service would total less than four
per .cent. of the nation's population
of more than four hundred milions.

There Are Lots Of Them
We saw a statement the other day
about a fellow who has a, heap of
counterparts in this country.
The statement was as follows:
"That fellow you heard fussing the
other day because his office isn't air-
conditioned was reared in the coun-
try and slept in an attic where the
snow came in through the chinksr
At that .he is no worse than the
fellow we heard complaining about
the lack of,. facilities in the small
town house when the creek was the
only bathroom he ever saw until he
got a job in the city.
Or the people who are so bitterly
complaining about the way the coun-
try is being run, and how much bet- -
ter they could do it. Or how the war
is being waged and how much bet-
ter they could do that job too, when
the only run they had ever made
•was to a free meal, and the only war
they ever waged was against mak-
ing an honest living.
But we suppose there are lots of
• that kind of people in every country.

• A Mean- Trick
Adults, who had a greenback for
every dime the youngsters could
raise,
outbid boys and girls for fifty-
four bicycles at a police auction sale
at Columbus, Ohio, on July 24th.
That was rather a mean trick on
the part of the grownups, but we
suppose the gas and the tire and the
car war restrictions 'have caught up
with thein, and they figure that ev-
en a bicycle is better than walking.

How Beef Ring in Grey Works
•
(Belleville Intelligencer)
Farmers up around Proton Statien way up in
Grey County, seem to have solved the beef short-
age problem. In fact they solved it 35 years ago.
It's an old Proton custom.
In the hot summer months from June to Sep-
tember, the agricultural lads in this section of
the province care not. what happens to beef
prices. Fluctuation worries them not Shortage is
-a thing they have yet to suffer.
The answer is simple. It is called_the Swamp
College Beef Ring. This is composed of farmers
of the district, each of whom cpntribute a beef
"critter" to the ring when his turn comes. The
members of the ring hold varying shares aceord-
ing to their needs. A full share demands one
beef steer, usually a fat two-year old animal,
each year. A half-share owner contributes a beef
every two years, a quarter -share' holder every
four year, etc.
The beef is killed and cut up by a central
farmer who delivers so Maty pounds of beef ac-
cording to shares, every Wednesday morning to
each member. The cuts are staggered so that
repetition is eliminated until the normal turn
rolls around. The steak is cut up each week In-
to as many parts as there are members, and
these portions are delivered with the weekly
cuts.
The farmer -butcher keeps the hide, and Is Paid
weekly by the farmer contributing the beef.
If a farmer eats more beef during his allotted
time than is contained in the beef Steer contri-
tinted to the Ring, he is "fitted" the ,difference In
InOney. if the steer he contributes is ,naore than
kis share over the allotted t)erlod, he is paid a
financial bonus.
The organization IS Perfect. And! that Is .the

Then Biddy disappears. ("Y' ou don't
notice her at first . but 'sem& day
or some evening somebody happens
to say, "I haven't seen Biddy around
lately. I wonder if she's hatching
again?" Then we begin the annual
search as to 'where she May be.
For years she used to set in the
little alcove under the steps going up-
stairs in the horse stable. However,
she seemed to get tired of that late-
ly . . and besides we were always
certain, to find her there. On occa-
sions she used to get up in the old
buggy, back in the far end of the
driving -shed. Once we found her
nesting under the sheep -pen in a. bun-
dle of dirt and straw. She also used
to try and nest in the straw stack
in the -barnyard.-
'Then last week one day we saw her
strut across the barnyard, stopping to
take a drink at the pump, from a lit-
tle overflow puddle: She shied her
wings down to the ground and brood-
ily cussed the dog when he attempt-
ed to ruffle her up a bit. ' I watched
her carefully. The only way to do
with Biddy is- to get her and either
move her and the nest or else cover
her carefully with a bushel. basket or
some such, device. You see, the
mother instinct in Biddy only gees so
far. After the first few.chickS hatch
out, she loses interest and is certain
to drag the first half -dozen or so off
to some other hiding place, leaving
the half -born and unborn chicks to
perish n3iserably.
I simply wasn't going to let that
re -
old hen put anything over on Me. She
seemed to sense, that I was watching

it is! Somebody's psychology has

Yet it gives one a queer, unhappy

seems too outrageously improbable.

they were forever coming, upon u.8.
