Conditions Nearly Perfect
The grain harvest is over and it
s ,'been gathered under conditions
uat' were nearly perfect. It is true
le hay weather was a little catchy,
t most of it was housed in good
condition, and there was a big crop.
As far as the grain was concern-
ed,there was, possibly, the best yield
fu 'a generation. Wheat was a good
lstaid and well headed out, with
pup grain. Barley was equally
good and oats were a bumper crop.
In fact there has not been another
harvest in a decade that equalled
that of this year. It was not section-
ally good, but good all over the coun-
ty, and reports from other parts of
the Province would indicate that the
country generally will have an out-
standing crop.
It was not only the crops but
the weather that was outstanding.
'Throughout the whole of harvest the
weather was as near perfect as any-
tme could wish. Bright warm sun-
ahine without any humidity. Showers
carie when they were needed and
were followed by bright sun again
and cooling breezes.
With labor conditions as they are
today, that kind of harvest weather
was a boon to the farmers. Grain
filled and ripened and was harvested
at the expense of less sweat than has
been expended by man or beast in
this generation.
Of course that kind of weather
does not appeal to the summer resort
people and the holiday makers. But
the world needs foodstuffs more than
anything else at the present time,
and for quite some time to come, and
Nature has seen that this year, at
any rate, first things are coming
first.
There is still much harvesting to
do on the farm, Leat the corn, beans
and roots give equal promise to the
grain, and pastures are green. What
a year! What prices! But good times
and prosperity have to start on the
farm before they can in any way
become general.

The Embargo Is Off
The Government embargo on the
shipment of Canadian cattle to the
United States, which has been in
force since early in the war, was re -
Moved on Monday last, and Canadian
farmers • are now free to ship their
cattle across the line until the quota
of 120,000 per quarter is reached.
What effect the lifting of the em-
bargo will have on the income of the
farmer, as well as that of the con-
sumer, will not become immediately
known. If all our cattle are shipped
to the States to obtain the higher
prices ruling there, a shortage may
arise here, and no doubt the price to
the consuming public will be jumped.
But whatever the immediate or
ultimate result may be, it would not
be .wise to assume that Canada will
suffer a meat famine. It should be
pointed out American buyers are not
eompelled'to give Canadian shippers
the top price for beef over there. It
. expected that much of the Cana-
dian beef shipped will be feeders,
:;rlliic American farmers will finish
their own pastures before killing.
Consequently, prices are not likely
to reach the top retail levels, and
isuadi&n butchers who are figuring
hat they can get away with too big
poke jump just because the em-
rgo ;has ,been lifted, are likely to
in for a'• sad awakening,
should also be remembered that

that there is quite a peesihil4 that

Producers should remember, too,
that if Canadian prices are raised to
an excessive figure, asimilar reac-
tion will quickly manifest itself in
Canada, and all the more so because.
our per capita income is considerably
below that of the people of the Unit-
ed States.
Such a move would spell disaster,
consequently beef suppliers would
not be wise 'to let beef prices get out
of hand. Profiteering will not long
be overlooked in Canada today when
the highcost of living has already
raised the tempers of all consumers.

It Paps To Advertise
This is the leading editorial in the
current issue of "The Lion," the
monthly publication of the Interna-
tional Lions Clubs:
"Nearly eves�y Lions Club realizes
the great benefits which flow from
stories in the local newspaper telling
of the clubs service to the public.
Most clubs are on the best of terms
with the editors, and get free pub-
licity all the time. Some realize the
advantage of display advertising,
and pay for space in their papers, in
addition to the acres of free adver-
tising they get.
"The Lions Club of Sheridan,
Wyoming, is one of those far-sighted.
clubs. On another page of this issue
of 'The Lion' will be found a repro-
duction of a page ad which the Sheri-
dan Lions paid for. It is shown to
indicate to other Lions Clubs what a
live club can do, and how it appreci-
ates the help the local newspaper
gives it.
"The ad lists eight activities which
the Sheridan* club carried on during
the last year, and the sums the club
spent in these causes. They are:
Bought 16,676 bottles of milk for
children; established a blind man in
a booth in the Post Office at a coast
of $300; paid $20 for a scholarship
at the High School; donated $150 to
the Future Farmers of America';
paid $50 for phonograph records for
the school; spent $217.50 on a play-
ground; made Christmas donations
of $32.42; and gave $1,000 to the Hos-
pital Building Fund—a total of more
than $2,620.
"In addition to all these, the club
spent money for the Polio Fund, the
Red Cross, a Hallowe'en Party, the
Friendship Train, and the High
School basketball team.
"This ad sets right before the eyes
of every citizen of Sheridan the uses
to which the Lions Club puts 'the
money it raises from the people.
Next year those people will be doubly
willing to help the Lions put over a
still better program. And the news-
paper publisher knows that the Lions
appreciate all the things he has done
for them without charge."

A Good Combination
An Englishman, at present a resi-
dent of China, bought four stone
Buddahs as souvenirs for a friend in
Great Britain and decided to clean
the little idols before he sent them
homer In the process he found they
contained diamonds worth nearly
$750,000. Cleanliness is said to be
next to godliness, but in this case we
would say it was a nice combination.

Moles burrow in the ground to

How To Salvage Old Paint Brushes
When a farmer starts' to do a
painting job around the farm, as
often as not he discovers that the
old paint brush has developed' a
decided kink with hard turned -up
bristles and is unworkable.
To salvage stiff old brushes,
soaking overnight, preferably in
turpentine, is a well known , pre-
liminary. Gasoline is, also effec-
tive. After the old paint has been
softened., it should be scraped off
with a blunt knife or combed out
with a steel comb or brush. If the
first soaking fails to remove tixe
paint, the process can be repeat-
ed. Shellac brushes should be
cleaned with alcohol, and white-
wash and calcimine brushes with
water.
After most of the accumulation
has been removed, the brush should
be scrubbed in warm water with a
mild laundry soap—never with a
strong soap. The excess water
should be shaken out and the
brush left to dry. The bristles
should be straightened out with a
scrub brush or comb before com-
pletely dry, after which the brush
should be wrapped—not too tight-
ly—in heavy paper or cardboard to
keep the bristles straight. If the
brush is dipped in paint before be-
ing fully dried, the moisture will
make the brush soft and listless.
When a brush is being used ev-
ery day, it should be filled with
paint, and wrapped overnight in
several thicknesses of paper, or
suspended in a can of water. If
used intermittently, it may be sus-
pended in raw linseed oil or kero-
sene. If stored in turpentine, the
brush is likely to become hard. It
should never be allowed to rest
on the ends of the bristles for any
length of time, because it will be-
come warped and the flew of paint
will be uneven. With a hate at
the end of the handle, a brush may
he suspended in the paint from a
rod or stick across the edges of
the can so that the bristles do not
touch the bottom. When put away
for a period of time, the brush
should be cleaned, thoroughly
dried, and stored with the bristles
straight.
