y not? We believe that if the,
directors Would , make a systematic
canvass of the country districts for
'lumbers, it would go a long way in
providing ample funds and would at
the same time very materially in-
crease the number of entries made
in every department of the fair. The'
exhibits are in the country, and if
the country people had a financial
interest in their own fair, they
would bring them out fol. display.
More than enough at least to get
their money back and more or less
added, to it. It is exhibits that make
a fair, but a real live fair does not
just happen in any community. -
• Dollars That Fight
veil understanding man .once
•ii. that "Seldom comes a loan
_ ghing'home." That may be true,
but never did people have greater
reasons for speeding a loan smiling
•on its way than the reasons which
'underlie the opportunities to "Speed
the Victory."
Recent victories in North Africa,
Sicily, Russia, Italy and the Pacific
Ocean, besides murderous bombings
in Germany, France and other Eur-
opean countries, have brought all the
closer the time when our Canadian
fighting forces will be turning their
faces towards Canada again.
This increase in the Allied Nations
offensive should call for at least as
great an acceleration of every kind
of the home front effort, one of the
greatest of which is the purchase of
war bonds. The Fifth War Loan
campaign which will open on Octo-
ber 18th, calls for a national goal of
one billion, two hundred million, dol-
lars, which is the greatest financial
undertaking ever undertaken by the
Canadian Nation. The success of
this great drive will depend entirely
on the willingness of each Canadian
individual to make every available
dollar, a dollar that fights.
In the four other bond campaigns
the Canadian public has °already in-
vested some billions of dollars in war
,bonds and on each occasion has loy-
ally oversubscribtd the original
amount asked for. But it should be
pointed out and not forgotten, that
our men in the army, navy and air
service have not quit after one vic-
tory, or even after two, or three, or
four. They Still continue to put ev-
-erything they have into the next on-
ward push towards total victory.
The next few weeks will show
whether the -folks at home in Can-
ada are, keeping step and pace with
them.
o
• Fall Fairs
Only a few short years ago, one
heard the prediction on every side
that the time-honored institution—
the Fall Fair—was doomed for the
duration at least. But it is quite ap-
parent that that prediction is very
wide of the mark. In'fact, this year
has been one of the most successful
in the history of Fall Fairs.
There are, possibly, three main
reasons for this great comebacks: -
the weather, gas restrictions and the
greater arriount of money in the
country districts. September has
been sunny and fairly warm; people,
because of the gas restrictions and
tire shortage, can not run about the
land"as they used to do, and, appar-
ently, they just have to spend some
money some plate.
At any rate the attendance at Fall
Fairs this year has been a record
one; deficits have been wiped out
and fair officials are in good humor.
It will be that way next year too, if
fair directors only get wise to them-
selves. Having a good bank balance
is no guarantee of a good fair. • To
make any real money, money has to
be spent in a biuld up. Every avail-
able dollar should be put into new
equipment and increased prizes. It
may take several years to accomplish
a satisfactory build up, but once.. that
stage is reached, that particular fair
is on the map and is going places.
There are one or two ,fairs of that
• kind in this "part of Western Ontario,
. and other fair boards are lost in
• wonder as to how they attract such
record crowds and, make so much
Money.
Well, the main reason is because
they go after it. Money invested in
a bad Up pays dividends, and these
one -or two"fairs have,,amply demon-
-- strated that fact. Likewise, it takes
4Plantling . and work on the part of
• the' Beard of Directors, and some

Just Weather
It seems to us that the weather 'for
the past year must -have' created a
record of some kind. And a bad
record at that. All last fall it pour-
ed rain; and all last winter it was
just one snow storm after another,
and one blow after another. '
When spring finally did • arrive,
the weatherman took up where he
left off last fall and sent us rain and
more rain. The summer weather
was cool and the harvest weather
catchy, but now a man who is some-
thing of a weather forecaster tells
us that because of the direction of
the .wind when we crossed the line a
week .or two ago, we are, going to
have a cool and perhaps a cold fall—
but it will be dry.
One would think that after a year
of rain and snow we would be able
to get along without those elements
for quite some time, but that really
is not the case. Right now we need
a good rain to help thefall plough-
ing and the fall wheat. It seems
that formerly there has been so
much rain that the soil has all run
together and is packed hard.
But we don't want a month, or two
or three months of rain—just two or
three good showers will do the job
nicely.
Evidence
How much wishful thinking are
we indulging in these days? How
often do we hear it said that Ger-
many is on her last legs? That sail-
• ors, 'particularly on the submarines,
have mutineed? That the morale of
the civilians has cracked on account
-a the terrible bombings her cities
and ports have undergone at -the
hands of Allied bombers, and that it
will only be a matter of a short time
before Germany will quit, because
she. already knows she is beaten?
There is positively no evidence to
• that effect'as far as we can see. In
fact, it -would seem that all the evi-
denee points in the opposite direc-
tion. » The Germans have not yet by
any means given up hope of :Winning
the war. If they had, would they,
not be using every means in their
power to soften the hearts of the
Allied powers in the hopes of -getting
better and easier terms at the peace
table?
- Instead of that, the Germans are
• following in Italy the plans of de-
struction they are still following out
in Russia. The plundering and de-
struction of the City of Naples be-
fore their withdrawal, is just one
example. And what has happened
in Naples is just what happened to
a dozen cities and hundreds of vil-
lage A in Russia. The fact that the
Italians were once ,their Allies and
fought with them in Russia, will not
*save a single Italian citizen or a sin-
• gle Italian city, or town, or village.
Because of their collosal conceit in
the belief that they are a super race
and their arming invincible, the Ger-
mans in this war have carried their
destruction far beyond the point re-
corded in history of the barbarians
of old. 'Schools and churches and
national shrines are nothing to them.
They have destroyed for the sake of
destruction and because they gloried
in it. .
And they will continue to murder
and. destroy until the end, or until'
they are forced by the Allies to see
that their boast of world conquest is
just a myth. But there » is no evi-
dence as yet to show that the t can,
visualize themselves as a beaten
• country. Their armies are still pow-
erful and splendidly equipped; their
resources are still tremendous, and

- In answer to questions, Mr. Presant
stated that no proteins were coming
from South •America or Australia;
that there was no reserve stock of
proteins for fall and Winter; and that
there is no reserve stock of milk pow-
der in the Dominion »this year as
there was last.
Mr. Presant suggested that » it
should be determined what species of
livestock shalld be given preference,
and also asked if a hatching deadline
should not be set for'1944 in order to
keep the number of .chicks within the
limits of the supply.
Dr. Graham stated that the in-
creased bonus on milk may mean no-
thing but skim -milk for poultry, es-
pecially in the, eastern section of the
province.
The Commercial hatcherymen pres-
ent do not anticipate a large increase
in chick sales in 1944. The hatcher-
ies may have reached the saturation
point in the _number of chicks they
can handle wibh the help they can
get.' Furthermore, the demand may
