Will Give The Consumer aBreak
The average consumer has little
love for Government orders.-in-coun-
cilbecause of the things they have
been known to do to him when he
goes on the market. But we believe
every last consumer willbe highly
in favor of the one recently issued
in Ottawa.
By it, peach growers in future will
have to display their wares as
Nature made them—in the raw. No
longer will it be permissible to cover
a basket of peaches with the seduc-
tive but very deceiving pink veil, so
familiar on the market for r so many,
years. . _..
It was last year that peach grow-
ers went just one step too far, and
thereby killed" the goose that laid the ' -
golden eggs. It was a year when the
peach crop was practically a failure.
But truckers tried to cash in on the
failure by persuading growers to
put on the market peaches that rot-
ted long before they ripened, and
covering up the sin by a pink veil
over the basket.
Of course it had been done before,
but the deception was never so ap-
parent when the veil was ripped
from the basket, and the whole
peach .industry suffered a bad black
eye as 'a" result. Consequently the
change will be as beneficial for the
grower as -for the buyer. One can
not .fool. all the public all the time,
sel there' Will not be any permanent
profit in continuallytrying to de-
ceive the buying public.,
If things are not really . what they
should ,be, or seem to be, that fact
will soon be discovered despite a
pink netting. Even yet it is possible
that buyers May find the top layer of
peaches in a basket no actual pre-
diction of *hatis below, but at Least"
they will be ` able to examine that
much at least.

Don't Be'In A Hurry
For some months past ,we have
been .scanning with interest the flood
of come-on letters that have passed
through this office on their way to
the waste basket. They tell us there
are so many ways of making a living
without doing any work, particular-
ly in the fields of mining.
Well, perhaps, there are. But be-
ing in the weekly newspaper busi=
ness, we haven't any money to buy
milling stocks, even penny ones. But
there are a'"lot of others. who have,
particularly returned men. And
many of them and many others, we
learn, are on the. market.
We have no objection t� mining
-' stocks. On, -the contrary, there are a
lot of mining stocks that. we would
like to own or be able to buy, but we
fancy we would do our buying on the
advice of a reliable stockbroker or
- our banker, instead of on the advice,
of some high-pressure- salesman,
whom we had never seen, before.
There are not many men who
would draw out their savings to bet
on a horse race, play poker, or shoot
craps. Drawing out savings is some-
thing that takes a lot of thought'and
a lot bf decision. But many other-
wise ' careful' men and v»omen too,
have invested their savings after
listening. toa soft spoken promoter.,
who professes to having not only sec-
ond sight but a couple of genie lamps
as :well. The 'men who with no pain
or labor -and in no time will - make
them rich.
—And- they will, stay -in a trance,

purse restores them to reason. But

Dirty Streets
Why is it that -nest of the streets
inn our large Ontario cities, towns
and villages, are so dirty compared
with most European cities and
towns?' That is something that has
been mentioned time and time again
by Old Country visitors and by our
returned men of the various. ser-
vices.-
Why
er-
vices.Why we residents of Ontario, who
devote so much time and money to
personal cleanliness and boast so..,
much about our modern 'plumbing,,
should be conspicuous, for the sloven-
' ly way we look after our. streets,
might be termed a small national
mystery.
No English child, after seldom see-
ing a piece of wrapping paper dur-`
ing the five years of the war, is- at
all likely to 'drop • a piece in the
street, as the average Ontario child,
as well as the average child's par-
ents are continually doing every day. '
Possibly, over here, it is because
we have so much food, so much
paper, so much of everything, we
scatter them about and waste them
without thinking. At any rate, we
can not escape the fact that we do, it.

A Boon To Farmers
Will wonders never cease? F. 0.
Masten, whoMwns a 16,000 -acre farm
near Sudan,Texas, has developed a
tractor that will operate without, a
driver. This machine is causing un-
usual interest among the farmers in
his State. And well it might. '
• The feat is accomplished through
the use of a specially designed trac-
tor guide to keep the machine in the
furrow. Mr. ,Mastensimply sets the.
tractor to plowing in one of his large
fields, and then except for servicing
it with fuel and repairs, he ean pret-
ty nearly forget all about int.
With one machine he has plowed
25 acres in 24 hours, and the labor
costs, he says, can be readily appreci-
ated: And with farm labor what it
is today, it is not hard to see his
Ipoint. .__
A picture illustrating the tractor
in operation' seems to fully bear out
his contention. The plowed furrows
are there, and the tractor, raising a
small cloud of dust, is being watch-
ed and followed by a large crowd 'of
spectators.
But just how and when • such a
tractor will be operating in our much
smaller Ontario farm fields is some-
thing else again. However, when we
remember that our pioneer fathers
cultivated their fields with oxen, and
then look at the number of farm
tractors in use today, there . is every
hope for future improvements, Ev-
en a driverless tractor.
Delusion
The Lincoln,.. Nebraska State Jour-
nal said: "The dinner started with
cream _ of tomato soup. The main
course was a ,giant rib roast, with
mashed potatoes and broccoli. ,Soft
rolls of white flour were served, with
two patties of butter to a plate. Des-
sert was apple pie with ice cream.
There was coffee with cream and
sugar: The speaker cleared his
throat. 'We are a bankrupt nation

theory expressed under very similar
conditions in Canada, in Ontario, in
