We e L ve, Wel .
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
has released smile very illuminating
figures. These show that retail sales
jet Canada. increased by 3.6 per cent.
'bet tear over those of 1942.
ThisMeansthat the people of
Canada are b'"ing more retail
goods than they have ever previous-
, ly • purchased. It also Means that
they are hiving better :than they ever
lived before, beca>se they are . get:
ting much more food,: fuel,, clothes
`and other things, including ltixuries.
While these figures may apply
more. Particularly to. cities, towns
and villages, the farmer has been in
on it too. The cash income. of all
Canadian farmers in 1943, which
was not a bumper crop year, was
$1,397,000,000, which was $282,000,-
000
282,000;000 better than 1942. ,
When one compares these figures
with the farm cash income before
the war, it can readily be seen how
great the increase has been. In 1939
thetotal cash'income of all Canadian
farmers was $702,800,000, while in
1943 the farmers took in twice ' as
much.
It is true that the cost of living, . as
well as the cost' of production has
gone ups but not half as much as the
farm, and urban 'incomes. .That is
something to remember when we are
told that the war is impoverishing
us, and something to appreciate too,
when a great part of the rest of the
world is on the verge of starvation.
We Agree
Iioldin'g the contention that every
organization soliciting public contri-
butions and every institution financ-
ed in whole or in part, by taxpayers'
money,should present a public state-
ment 'of its' receipts and expendi-
tures, the 'Goderich• Signal -Star says:
"There are local bodies that do not
think it necessary to give the public
an.. annual . statement of their, `,finan-
cial activities. This is not done to
hide such 'knowledge from the pub-
lic. It is merely taken that they
would not be` -interested. But such
reasoning is -a mistake.. More than-
one
hanone local public body has been the
victim of needless, criticism because
of unfounded rumors as to the use of
funds: A public statement would
have prevented this criticism by
showing howfar from the truth the
rumors were. Anyway, ' the public
is entitled to such accountings."
That proposition. is a sound one,
and we certainly, agree with it.

Coming Round
In the . House of Commons last
week, when Premier King asked for
the .. discontinuance of Wednesday
sessions, in order to give the Cabinet
much needed time for deliberation
on urgent war business, the motion
was strongly opposed by the Con-
servative members, led by Mr. Gray-
don, their House leader.
At the time it was not unnatural
for Mr. King to ask if this opposi-
tion was dictated by the Dominion
Leader of- that party, Mr. Bracken,
but no arfsswer was forthcoming:
Naturally the refusal of Mr. Gray-
don to answer the. Premier has been
commented on by several . newspa-
pers. In last week's Saturday Night;
a *ell-reasoned and reasonable edi-
torial on the incident, has however,
greatly upset the Toronto Globe and
Ma i,
which on Saturday took up one
point, but onepoint only of Satur
4 r Night's editorial, in an editorial
of its own.
The Globe and Mail said: "Satur-
darBight's argument, is founded .on

etas had ample time to familiarize
himself with the state of the party
and to familiarize the party with
his own personality. It is' time he
began to familiarize the country
with it."
If the Globe and Mail sees nothing
wrong with that paragraph, it must
be coming round to a widely held
opinion of people across Canada that
Mr. Bracken, as an outsider, has no
right to tell the House of Commons
how it should carry on its business,
and Nor. King should no longer be
compelled to deal with an Opposi-
tion that takes its orders from a per-
son with whonn' "he cannot discuss
anything face to face in the presence
of Hansard and the press." -

The Total
Last week in a newspaper office a
found lady's handbag was investi-
gated and revealed the following, to-
tal: Coin purse, small mirror, key
case, identification card, watch, five
paper handkerchiefs, ration book'
,holder with books, make-up +ease
(powder .puff, roug, lipstick), mem-
orandum book, cheque book, folder
containing two snapshots, small, coin
purse containing keys, stamps and
odd items, loose bunch of keys, pen-
cil,' tape measure, empty perfume
bottle, box of compressed soup cubes,
war savings stamp book, flashlight,
rubber band, etc.
The etc., it was explained, consist-
ed of a number of letters and cards
and some intimate personal articles.
Bags like these—and worse—are
carried under women's arms hour
after hour and mile- after mile, ,and
yet we still refer to them as the
weaker sex,
•
Listen, Men !
Men's clothes, after the war, will.
include adjustable pants that look
well when a man is standing up and
are comfortable when he's sitting
down.
That is theword that comes from
the Merchant Tailors and Designers'
Associations which . held a meeting
in Chicago last week, when ' a Mr.
Twyeffort modeled a suit of his own
design in which slide fasteners per-
mit letting out the waists of trousers
and vests.
"With the exception. of ° riding
breeches," ' this man said, "men's
clothes always are fitted standing up.
But men sit down nearly 80 per cent.
of the time, and when a man sits
down his waist and abdomen expand
'from three to seven inches depend-
ing on his size and weight.
That sounds alright, providing the
expansion always occurs at the right
time. But in the case of some of us,
if our belts suddenly expanded five
inches when we weren't sitting
down—well! On the other fide of
the question, however, a much more _
comfortable.. future for paunches of
Canadian and American ,manhood is
predicted.
At the same convention another
man featured a hat he had designed
with ' a slide fastener extending
across the crown so the hat can bed'
flattened and carried in a pocket.-
He
ocket:He was moved to this invention be-
cause, he said, he estimated his year-
ly hat check tips exceeded $135.
That will not affect the most of us,
who never owned $135 worth of hats
in a life time, not to mention tips.

About Life Insurance

Government, it is interesting to consider new.

ness,r but they Make' ..it ftp on the iilvestnte'nt of

,Labor Saving Tips
Experimental work in agricultural
engineering by'tshe Engineering Divi-
sion of the Field Husbandry Division,
-Dominion Experimental Farms Ser-
vice, demonstrated that in the hand-
ling of hay a Qne-man rack saved
labor in loading from a hay loader,
and that one man could do the work
of two men in building a load of
legume silage when "that type of rack
was used. To ailaw a tractor to draw
a horse -type mower, a safety release
and lifting device was devised •for the
mower, making it possible for one
man to operate both the tractor and
mower. Pians for a pole hay stacker
have been distributed by the Division
'to farmers.
Despite low yields of cereal grains
throughout Ontario last , year, - the
Seed Display, held in connection with
the -recent annual meeting of the On-
tario Crop Improvement Association,
brought out many 'samples Of excel-
lent quality sued . from various parts
of the Province.
The display included 'such `recom-
mended varieties of ..pats es Erban,
Ajax. Alaska and Vanguard. Several
samples of barley and soybeans re-
presented substantial quantities` of
these approved varieties. There was,
'`a narked increase in the qualities of
hybrid corn and seed potatoes offered
for sale. In all, the total quantities
.of seed listed in the display.amount-
ed to 97,441 bushels of grains, 11,350
pounds of, forage seeds and 19,140
.seventy-five pound bags of potatoes.
Complete lists have already ' been
prepared and distributed giving grow-

presentatives or by writing Crops,

sary for an unusually large nember

Farm Cash income At New
High Level
According to official'sstimates, the
cash income of Canadian farmers
reached a new high level in 1943 when
the estimated returns from the sale
of .farm products totalled $1,397 mil-
lion. This represents an ,increase -of
$282 million, or 25 per cent over 1942,
and is up $674 million, or 93 per cent
over 1939. Higher income is reported
from all provinces and with few ex-
ceptions the increase is common 'to
all the ,various sources of income,
The greatest percentage increases
occurred in the Prairie Provinces
where, 'despite a reduced harvest,
