Time With the kind of weather we have been having this month, it might • seem rather foolish and out of place to broach the subject of fuel for next winter's supply. Human nature being what it is, it is .rather difficult to get, any house- . holder interested in coal when the thermometer registers up in the eighties. The only consumer who gives any thought to his coal bin. these past"weeks is the one Who has 'accidently found out that it is a fine cool spot to rest in, or to keep his bait if he is a fisher of any kind. • . But as a matter of fact, this is the time all householders should, be giv- ing serious thought to their coal bins, because warnings ..have . been heard • across Canada that there is every in- -dication of • another fuel shortage this coming winter. In the West, and considerable Western coal is burned in Ontario, coal production is away 'down in the mines caused by shorter working hours and holidays. The same ap- plies to the anthracite mineg`' in• the United States, where most of our coal comes from. There is another factor in the coal supply; situation too. Both in Can- ada and the United States there are big grain crops already assured, or in the making: And the railways will very soon be giving top prefer- ence to tile grain movement. Which ilneans that when that movement bets under way there will not'be en- ough railway cars in the two coun- tries to handle the grain and every- thing else the general public wants or needs. Dealers, it is Said, now have sup- plies in their yards, but later in the fall it may be found- impossible to replenish .them.. • For that reason it would be a very wise move on the part of every householder.to lay in, at least, part of hisnext winter's sup- ply, so that dealers would have room to -store further supplies before the real grain movement sets in. ,,There are citizens; of course, and more than a few in number, who never did pay any attention to the warnings of a • coaI shortage,, because -in some way they have always Man- aged" to get along with the help :of the neighbors, possibly, but not al- ways in comfort then. They forget that that they' were saved only by • the wi.sdom*of those who listened to the warnings and ordered their coal well in advance. Ordering now might . very easily spell the. difference between warm:. - homes next winter and cold and un- comfortable ones, which leave th door open' for sickness of every ki • Difficult To linagine It is only thirty years ago - that Parliament passed the income tax legislation introduced' by the then Minister of Finance, Sir Thomas White. Do you remember the bitter complaint that' was heard, through- out the land over . what we' would look upon today as a trivial annoy- ance.. . ' And in the light of today, it was - trivial. • Recently it was reported from Ottawa that during the first three months of the present fiscal year the revenue department had collected $422,356,004 in income tax- es. And Canadian citizens will pZ good many _millions more before the year is out. In fact, it is pretty difcuIt to im- agine what Canada's business life. was like before .income ,tax days. ' In that happy' day:, now gone ,forever, at least for some centuries; a man's b.iness was his own to run As he �leased. If he didn't, want to keep ter he didn't need' to.... business mads a 'Utile money, or a great ,deal of money, the amount • was a secret - between himself and his banker, and he could - do with his profits what he pleased. No One. had any right to interfere. No one ever ,did. - Those were dear bygone days for the consumer tat. The bibulous city izen could buy all the beer he want-. ed at five cents a glass. "All the WI:- ported ncl-ported whiskey he wanted at $1.00 ped° bottle. For the every=day -run of citizens the best clothes on the mar- ket could be bought for $25; and the hest shoes on the market for less than $5.00. If a man's wife didn't. make his shirts for him, he could • buy the best for .a dollar. Coal was round ten dollars a ton, and wood was two dollars a 'cord. Other, household requirements were priced the same: Men worked ten hours a day and women Ionger, and . there was no daylight saving, and no Wednesday half -holidays. We won- der if those things had anything to do with those. good old days, to which we Iook back with so much envy to- day. • Speaking 'Of Wosquitoes And who isn't"'tkese balmy nights? In 'fact it was the lack of 'soothing balm in those nights that lead us in- to a research on the subject. The Encyclopaedia Britannica .• has this to say on mosquitoes: "The deeply -rooted nature of the blood- sucking instinct is most remarkable, for insects whose ancestors for many generations may not have tasted blood, will seek for it with the ut- most keenness and pertinacity as soon as an opportunity presents it- self." • - . Further, it says:. "Some species are .normally .phytophagous," which is only a, highbrow • Way of saying that they are vegetarians and „feed only on plants. What we say is that what this part of Ontario needs is a,.lot more vege- • tarians among, our mosquito popula- tion, and- if we can't get them any other way—let's breed them. With our present breed of mosqui- toes, it is just another instance of the female being more deadly than., -- the male, because in all 'our species ' it is the lady who does all the blood- sucking.. We have seen mosquitoes` -out West that we thought broke all records for numbers, size and "kenness and pertinacity," but our Ontario kind, at Ieast this summer, seem even more vicious, and make up in speed what they lack in size. • 1 , Finny Money Ranking amongst the strangest objects', that have ever been used as a medium of exchange in the wh4ole history of money, the solid, thick stone wheels of the Island of Yap, in the CaroIines, are still in use- to this day. .. . Ranging' in size from a foot to 12 feet in diameter, with a hole in the centre' to permit their being carried on a heavy pole, this ' currency is quarried from a special type 'of fine, white, close -grained limestone ° • on Babilthuap, about 40Q miles south of Yap.. • Because ' of the difficulty of mov- ing some of the more bulky ."coins" or fei, as they are called on the is- land, the transfer of ownership quite often 'consists of a there verbal agreement. A -family mai' live in comparative affluence without hav- ing set eyes upon their wealth. But such remote control ownership is acknowledged by all. Funny money, all right, but when a man can buy the necessities of life on the say-so of someone that says he owns a pile of stones opt in some distant gi'arry, which he has never seen, it looks like a country of unlim- ited credit, and a pretty good one to live in. HERE'S A NEW IDEA • , (Kingston Whig -Standard) It is a generally..accepted, belief that childhood and early yw jli is. the time for education, but • we question whether a great many of the wbrld's ills mey not be trabeci' to this notion. We sug- gest. that it might be better for the world• if children were kept at seine light, agreeable, pro- ductive work from their fifth until their twen- tieth year; the money which they earned, during that time would then enable them to enjoy ten years of intensive and ma:tttre •edueatlon, "so that , , they might enter the world at thirty without the foolish beliefs 'Which Plague most then Mid wo- rnen of average education today: Aa an exemple, we think that they mig'ht,learn some real blistery "'darling -that Vane; history ie etertainiynot a, 'fit ettrdy for o'bildren.' • Years Agrone Interesting items picked front This Expositor of fifty and twenty -live years ago. ° From The Heron Expositor August 18, 1922 • Glenn leIcLean, Bert Wren, Lindeay Eyre and Mr. and Mrs. Ira Chambers left oen Monday last on the excursion toth'�ilost.

Somehow or other, all of us at Lazy Meadows are hoping that this dog will turn out to be a good old-fashioned farm dog... -Often in the .past years we've had bad luck with our pups, but this one comes from a family of dogs 'that have had a.coun,. ty-wide reputation for being good with the stock, on a farm, A dog is a•• valuable animal. around a farm, You may *ant him te. fetch the cows while you're doing the chores or 'round up a stray animal for you on a Sunday when you're wearing your best cothes. A dog should be able to chase the chickens out of the garden or put a tough old sow out of the orchard. , If he's a good dog heli do all 'these•'a-tangs with a sense of humor, as well as a sense of duty. There's nothing as bad as a dog that goes after every animal around .the place with a savage de- sire NI bite •or maul, A dog is• also•a good guardian for the''youngsters..• Mother feels a slot better when the dog is on the front lawn and' watches over the -child play- ing in the crib. How Many times she also. says when the youngsters are heading back to the river for fishing or swimming, "Be sure you take the -as By Harry J. Boyle dog with you." I was interested the other day in reading ate article to discover how dogs happen to wear those fancy col- lars of leather with the brass studs around their necks. According to this article, about 2,000 years ago, the shepherd''a dog was a •big ferocious .animal, used to guard sheep from wolves. The dog 'was equipped• with size and fighting .anility to take on the wolves. 'The shepherd used to fasten a heavy collar with studs• on it around the neck Of each dog. Wihen the dog and the wolf tangled in b. battle the wolf Would' invariably go after the dog's neck. He 'got a mouthful of sharp brass studs instead. So today whee we put fancy collars like that around a dog's neck, it stems from that ancient custom. • Can you imagine a sadder day around a farm. than when thedog dies? As a boy I can remember'hav ,ing a great affection for, a Collie that gamely struggled on past his normal span of life. My father kept telling me it was a shame to let the dog live, but I Wouldn't part 'with him One night he just up and died. I grieved for a weep, until one day my father came .hope with a puppy. He was soon a favorite. pet. • • JUST A SMILE OR TWO 'The stingy young Than asked his 'iancee,whethre she ,had been pleas- ed with the card he sent her.
