Labor Lain And Store Hours
The Ontario Legislature at its last
session passed a new act, fixing an
eight-hour day and a 48-hour week
for all industry and merchandiz' ing
in the Province. The section of the
act providing for eight hours a:day
and 48 hours weeldy is interpreted
as meaning that the 48 hours may
be attained in five, five and a half or
six days.
But 'in no case can the standard
daily hours exceed ten.',In addition,
if employees are asked to work a 10:
hour day, for some special reason,
the extra two Aours call for pay at
the rate of tithe)and a half for the
overtime. /
And, although this act comes into
- force on July. 1st next, there
seems to be a very general lack of
knowledge, and a still greater lack
of interest in the provisions of the
new act. This was evidenced at a
meeting of the Seaforth Chamber of
Commerce held on Friday evening,
and further enquiry would lead us
to the conclusion that similar lack of
knowledge and interest is veiy gen-
eral in many other towns and vil-
lages in rural Ontario. ,
Industry, of course, will establish
its own quota of hours, but merchan-
dising means every store on Main
Street Hitherto most Main Streets
have established their own hours of
NMI* and closing times. But after
July 1st, that will no longer be pos-
sible, so all will have to conform to
the provisions of the new act.
An eight-hour day means that
stores may remain open from 9 a.m.
to p.m., which would also be a 48-
hour week. That, however, leaves
no place for the Saturday night busi-
ness, which in every town has assum-
ed large proportions. Even the us-
ual Wednesday or Thursday , half -
holiday, now 'general in most towns,
and the working hours saved there-
by, would not permit 'of employees-
• working on Saturday nights, except
for two hours, and those two hours
would have to be paid for by time
and a halt
It would be possible to stagger the
employees' hours, to a limited ex-
• tent, or to providea new shift of em-
ployees, for say,:Saturday night. But
where, in these days, can employers
• get the available help? And, even if
• it was available, which it certainly is
not, it would be unexperienced, and
• for weeks, practically useless.
In cities and larger centres, the
working code provided by the new
act has been generally observed for
some time, and in some cases over a
• term of years, but in the towns and
villages, in the rural districts, the
Act will present a very difficult prob-
lem, and more particularly during
• the summer months.
We draw attention to this Act, be-
cause its provisions will be in force
next month, and before they can be
met and adopted, they will have to
be given a great deal of, thought and
consideration by ,every merchant in
every •town and village, in this
and other rural municipalities. Mer-
chants do not willingly close their
stores against their customers dur-
ing reasonable hours of business, but
after July lst stein hours will be
considerably curtailed, even to what'
they have been during these war
years, In this case the closing will
T. be one of necessity and not of choice,
and for that reaion they are entitled

Crop Prospects
Crop prospcts in this district
have never given greater promise
than they do at the present thne.
The weather in recent weeks has
been most favorable and the growth
has been phenomenal.
There is not a crop of ,fall or
spring grain that lacks growth or is
not thriving. Pasture is abundant
and a heavy hay crop would seem to
be assured. It is a 'little too early to
speak for beans and corn, but the
land was never in better condition
for. their reception, and if the wea-
ther man continues to 'be kind, a
bumper harvest can„be anticipated.
We could wish that the prospect
was as pleasing in the West. But
even there, there seems to have been
a marked improvement in recent
weeks. A letter received by The
Expositor this week from' the Medi-
cine Hat district, says that they have
had rain in abundance, and although
it's arrival has come little, late,
there has been an immense improve-
ment in crop conditions.
Other parts of the West give simi-
lar reports, and like here, if weather
conditions continue favorable, the
Western Provinces will fare very
well this harvest, which is an even-
tuality earnestly hoped for.
There is in this district, however,
always a thorn of some kind in the
flesh of the farmer. This year, as
last, it is labor, or rather a very
lamentable lack of it. But again, as
last year, that difficulty will be met,
and in part at least, overcome. But
it will take co-operation on the part
of the town and village people, and
we believe that co-operation will be
forthcoming.

-Plenty or Money
There were 40,000 people at the
Woodbine race track in Toronto on
Saturday for the running of the
- King's Plate. And those thousands
wagered some hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars on the different ev-
ents.. On the same day,some nine-
teen thousand paid admission to the '
baseball park. •
Toronto gave an 'excellent account
of itself in the, recent Sixth Victory
Loan, but, apparently, there is plen-
ty of loose money still left in the -
city. Of course at neither event was
the crowd made up exclusivelyof
, Toronto people, but the city major-
,• ity must have been large.
Like Toronto, the Victory Loan
did not drain all the money out of
rural Ontario. They, too, made an
excellent showing by their subscrip-
tions, but there 18 plenty of money
left,' More, perhaps, than there has
ever been in the history of the coun-
try, and it is being freely spent.
•
There Was AReason
Long and bitter complaints have
been coming out of Germany in re-
cent months about what the German
headquarters describe as "indiscrim—
inate bombing." This was so in the
case of the bombing at The Hague
two months ago.
But the R.A.F. recently announc-
ed that the mystery bombing of the
former Kleykamp Art Gallery in
The Hague was made in co-operation
• with the Dutch Undergroond, to de-
stroy Z cards, or files on Dutch Work-
ers, to be drafted and sent into Ger-
many.
A British Air Ministry report on
the raid, termed it "probably the
most spectacular example of low-
level precision bombing. of the war."
The buildings • housing "thousands
of documents of the greatest import-
ance to the Netherlands people,"
were reported completely razed after
being hit by every bomb but one, a
lone miss which hit a German bar-
racks. '

AgricultuTe—FarmNews
In a new book on Tolstoy, author
of "War and 'Peace," the biographer
describes creepily the pestiferous
conditions existing in Russia at the
time of ToistOy's birth in 1828. Even
the landed gentry tolerated the lack
of sanitary provisions. If a visitor
remained for the night, a servant was
put in the spare bed first, not to
warm it for the favoured guest but
to feed • the bugs which, being thus
gorged and sated, would be expected
to leave the visitor in comparative
peace.
There
a modern twist to this
tale. A coolie, clad in shirt and
phorts, laid him down voluntarily in
A bug -infested bed. Was he eaten
alive? No, not, a bit of him; this
was a case of the tables being turn-
ed and the biter bitten.. By morning
not a single bug survived. To what
remarkable cause could this unnatur-
al result be attribueed? Simply that
the man's clothitig has been treated
with a solution centainingd the most
potent insecticide known to modern
science.
The name of the substance, formid-
able enough in itself, • is dichlor-
diphenyl - triehlorethane, abbreviated
for common usage into DDT or
Gesarol. Like many now popular pest
control PrOducts, DDT is not new,
having been prepared by a German
chemist about 70 years ago. But its
value as an insecticide is recent

this purpose is protected by a SSwiss

Be sure that the binder knotter is
in first-class condition and is kept in
proper adjustment. Where grooves
have been worn in the ttelite guides
these should be filed out smooth, A

The twine knife should be replac-

kept sharp for best operation. This
is particularly • important this. year es
