EDITORIAL, NOTES.
Canada's trade for April shows a
slight falling off as compared with the
corresponding month of last year.
This is the first decrease recorded for
over two years. It is due to the de-
cline of over three millions in agricul-
tural exports for the month, conse-
quent upon the short wheat crop of
last year and the later opening of navi-
gation at Montreal. Imports show an
increase. The total trade for the month
was $44,421,887, a decrease of $1,562,-
007. Imports totalled $32,544,187, an
increase of $1,677,100; exports of do -
'nestle products totalled $10,943,232, a
decrease of $3,564,449. •
The Montreal Witness gives the Op-
position this gentle hint: "Whatever
Mr. Borden and his friends may do or
say in the west and whatever impres-
sions they may receive from their visit,
the fact remains that they are taking
the side of privilege against the inter-
ests of the masses; that they are trying
to dam a trade stream which carries
with it equal privileges and generous
prosperity; and that the effect of their
campaign, if successful, would be to
put this country bad commercially for
years and injure, at least to some ex-
tent, the growth of friendship and un-
derstanding between the United King-
dom and the United States, which is
beneficent politically, and which may
lead practically to open markets be-
tween the two great countries. If the
Conservatives are happy in this sort of
quest, we do not envy them."
MONETARY TIMES
ON OLIVER CASE.
(From The Monetary Times, May 13.)
One of the penalties of being a Cabin-
et Minister is to suffer personal attack.
Whether a man be pure or poisoned,
politically, he can never shake himself
of the taunts of others' viciousness,
jealousy and ambition. The Monetary
Times has always been, and is, a non-
partisan journal, fighting only for the
principles in which it believes, and ir-
respective of politics. We feel the
more regret, therefore, in seeing the
name of the Honorable Frank Oliver,
Minister of Interior, dragged into the
mire of supposed scandal. We regard
Mr. Oliver as one of the strong men
of the Dominion, a man who has actu-
ally hewed his way as a pioneer across
the prairie and as a statesman through
the labyrinth of politics. He will un-
donbtedly clear himself of the charges
made against him.
There is a serious aspect of the Oliv-
er incident which has not received due
attention, and is the relation of a bank
to its customers and in turn to curiosi-
ty mongers. A photograph is said to
have been taken of a certain bank's
ledger page showing part of Mr. Oliv-
er's bank account. If that photograph
had really been obtained it would reflect
little credit upon the institution guard-
ing the account. The photograph was
faked in a clever, although clumsy
manner. So far as we can learn, a
minor official of the bank, which had
Mr Oliver's account, by a certain gen-
tleman whom we need not name, with
an offer of a substantial cash payment
and a 'remunerative and permanent
position elsewhere. The bank official,
whose method of address is usually of
the best, was so astounded at the re-
quest that his reply may be recorded as
a matter of history. The suppliant
was told to "Go to h-."
The branch bank manager was in -

formed as to what waa happening; In
the meantime by some, up to the pres-
ent, inexplicible manner, certain items
of Mr. Oliver's account had been seen,
noted and apparently copied upon ledg-
er paper, then photographed. This was
the photograph which Mr, D.R. Wilkie,
general manager of the Imperial Bank,
stated in the most emphatic terms was
not an exact photograph of Mr. Oliver's
aceount, as had been stated. A com-
parison of the original with the spuri-
ous at once reveals this fact.
An investigation is to be held res-
pecting the Oliver charges. No one
desires that it shall be limited, except
that it shall not pry into private affairs.
It is not difficult todraw the line ,be-
tween a man's buiness and his private
matters. Undoubtedly there will be an
attempt to bring Mr. Oliver's bank ac-
count into the limelight, to analyse it,
trace the source and the destination of
every debit and credit item, and gen-
erally to make public a document which
concerns only the bank and its custom-
er. Thiswould be a dangerous prece-
dent. The office boy, the business man,
the industrial corporation, all consider
their bank account a matter of the
strictest privacy. Were it to become
known that at the slighest show of
caprice, envy or spitefulness on the
part of enemies, one's ban., account
might be exposed to public gaze, the
whole country would soon be banking
their money in stockings, cellars and
1 mattresses. Only when a man is actu-
ally proved to be a criminal should his
bank account be shown to others than
the bank officials and their customers.
Even then the greatest discretion should
be observed. It is not a question as to
whether or not a man's account is
clean. Those who have the most hon-
est accounts would be among the strong-
est objectors to publicity of their bank
account figures.

HICKS' WEATHER FORE-
CASTS FOR JUNE.
A Regular Storm Period covers the
first six days of June. The Mercury
and Venus periods also bear upon and.
intensify disturbances at this period.
The crisis of these storms will fall on
and touching the' 4th and 5th. A low
barometer, high temperature and hum-
idity may be put down as foreshading
severe storms at this time. Rising
barometer and change to fair and much
cooler weather will pass eastwardly
over the country from the 6th to 9th.
A Reactionary Storm Period will
bring decided storm conditions on and
touching the 9th, 10th, llth and 12th.
At this period we enter into the June
soltice disturbances. The Solstice Per-
iod extends from the 10th to the end of
June. The full Moon on the llth falls
at the central day of the annual mag-
netic and electrical crisis. Within three
days of sunset on the llth, a maximum
of magnetic and electrical storms will
visit many wide extremes of the earth
attended by phenomenal "earth cur-
rents," much volcanic unrest and vio-
lent seismic shakes.
A Regular Storm Period extends from
the 13th to the 17th, being at the crisis
of the Mercury period, and under full
strain of the solstice and the Venus
periods. Daily thunder storms with an
excess of electricity, wind, rain and
hail, may be expected. Tornadoes may
be looked for, and your locality may be
in their paths -why not? -Change to
very much cooler will follow about the
16th to 19th.
A Reactionary Storm Period will
make itself severely felt on and touch-
ing the 20th, 21st and 22nd. This per-
iod is at the exact center of the summer
soltice and great electrical manifesta-
tions will mark this period, and in all
this part of the month we may look for
an excess of dightzifng all round the
heavens, in early evenings and through
nights. As we have often said, this
solstice lightning is very grand and
awe-inspiring, but for the most part is
perfectly harmless. Of course the elec-
tric bolts of an oncoming thunder storm
are fraught with danger, but the noise-
less, panoramic hashing all over the
clouds, banked around the horizon these
solstice evenings, is es harmless as
moonshine --beautiful to behold and full
of life and health to the vegetable king-
dom as well as to all animate life.
A Regular Storm Period is central on
the 260, the new Mon falling on the
same day, Moon being in perigree and
at greatest north declination. In every
probability this will prove one of the
most decided periods of disturbance
during this month. The barometer
should be consulted with care as we
enter this period, and if it falls to very
low reading• ---a result to be expected -
s
storms of violent char
acte..t should be
apprehended. All storms during the
last half of June will be erratic in
character -will move in directions out
of the ordinary, often doubling back
over their tracks after they have sup-
posedly passed off to the east. We
believe there will be too much rain in
June, for best agricultural interests,.
oxcept in New England States, and the
extreme southern and southwestern
I sections. A marked seismic period is
central thecovering
. t on 26th, the 23rd
fto 29th.
OVER 2 MILLION PACKAGS SOLD WEEKLY
SHEARING TIME.
Sheep Thrive Better When Relieved
Early of Coat -Provide Warm
Place.
The tendency on the part of farmers
is always to shear sheep late, say in
May or Jude. Some do this through
reasons of sympathy for the sheep,
thinking that the sheep suffer from
cold when shorn early. Others do it
through reasons of economy, thinking
less grain is required to keep the sheep
warm when it retains its own•coat; still
others shear late through reasons of
carelessness or procrastination - in
other words -just because they haven't
done it early. The proper time to
shear sheep depends in large part upon
the shelter that can be provided for
the sheep, but it should be done just as
goon as it is compatible with the well
being of the sheep. Where warm
barns are at hand into which sheep can
be turned in case a cold snap comes,
it is not believed they will suffer per-
ceptibly from the cold nor require a
noticeably larger amount of feed if they
are shorn in April. And both observe_
tion and experiment lead to the belief
that sheep both eat and do better as
soon as freed from their heavy coat,
and also that wool production seems
stimulated by the cooler weather, and
a heavier fleece results within the year
than when the sheep are shorn in the
hot werther. Those of course who
have no warm sheep barns will do bet-
ter to wait till warm weather is surely
here tlean to shear early and run the
risk of losing some of the flock from I
pneumonia.
Many a farmer makes a big boast
how many sheep he can shear in an
hour, but in many of these instances
examination of the sheep shows them
to be in a sorry plight -excited to the
last degree, panting, bloody, with here
and there big patches of skin torn or
cut out. Casting aside all humanitar-
ian principles, from the financial stand-
point even it must be admitted that it
does not pay to so frighten and abuse
sheep. It often takes days for a sheep
to calm down, and when in such a high-
ly nervous state none of the organs of
her body are functioning properly and
she is not getting the good of her feed,
nor is she giving milk that is suitable
for her lamb. Feverishness of the ewe
often causes digestive disorders in the
lamb, and we have known many a good
lamb to be half ruined through, rough
handling of the ewe at shearing time.
When one gets in such a big hurry his
shears glance this way and that, and he
often cuts the wool fibre an inch or
two above where he wants to, making
a second cut necessary. Wool buyers
are looking for long, uniformly long-
fibres, and they are bound to buy at a
discount these hacked up fleeces. It
surely is a great deal better to handle
the ewe carefully, not excite or injure
her, and to go slowly enough that each
eat of the shears will be immediately
effective. With experience, speed will
naturally come anyway, but enforced
speed cannot be anything else than dis-
astrous.
It is noticed that a representative of
a shearing machine firm enables the
user to clip the fleece much more closely
than formerly; to practically save the
sheep. Whether machine or hand shears
are used, the writer does not believe it
is desirable to clip so closely. The
only instance where it might be so
would be in ease one were to dispose
of each sheep at once. In that case he
might profit by the added weight of
that eighth 'or sixteenth of an inch;
otherwise, if he keeps his sheep and
shears them again, be will simply get
an eigth or a sixteenth of an inch of
wool this year instead of next. for the
the annual growth remains practically
fixed. Such extremely close shaving
leaves the sheep unprotected and con-
stitute too pronounced a change from
the heavy fleece. •-- Grain Grower's

A UNIQUE CAREER.
Stage -Driver I3aa Beers Twenty -One
Years on One Route.
(Lucknow Sentinel.)
For twenty-one years a pleasant
faced little man has been journeying
daily - Sundays, and days of ill health
or impassible roads, alone excepted -
between Lucknow and the hamlet of
Kinlos ; his place of residence to the
north, -a distance each way of eleven
miles. .That is Jimmy Brownscombe,
stage driver and Government mail -
carrier, -a man whose record of ser-
vice in that capacity has probably
never been equalled in Ontario.
In those twenty-one years Jimmy
has made, approximately, six thousand
five hundred "round trips," and has
travelled the enormous distance of one
hundred and forty three thousand miles
-this in all kinds of Canadian weather,
over a road which has become as fami-
liar to him as was the prison cell to
Bonnivard.
Faithfullest, happiest and .poorest+
paid of Government servants is Jimmy
Brownscombe. Years ago he drove a
team and "double buggy," and carried
considerable freight from Lucknow
northward. His salary even then was
not excessive, but the "pickings" were
good. Bit by bit, due to causes beyond
his control, freight business fell away;
bit by bit unwarranted 'competition re-
duced the salary, until now the direct
Government remuneration is less than
sixty cents per day. Of course, the
"pickings," such as they are, remain;
and Jimmy remains too, because; he
could never change his habits now.
With single horse and "goose -necked"
cutter, or rattling open buggy, he
makes the old fainiliar rounds. To re-
lieve the monotony he: sings as he goes.
Every school -boy on the "Lucknow
gravel" knows him, and smiles or
shouts a greeting. Innumerable pedes-
trians time their coming and going so
as to get a free "lift" with him.
Thousands of little commissions he
performs annually for busy people
along his line of travel; and the history
of every household there is an open
book to him, seldom referred to but
much meditated upon.
Jimmy's politics? We did not ask
him that. Being a churenman and a
Christian, probably he has none. He
"came in" under a Conservative Gov-
ernment. It would be a pleasing co-
incidence if he should live long enough
to "go out" under one; but that sug-
gests a dispensation.
The uniform success that has attend-
ed the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy has made it
a favorite everywhere. It can always
be depended upon. For sale by all
dealers.
Tax Rates in Ontario.
Municipal statistics for the Province
of Ontario for 1909, just published by
the Bureau of Industries, give some
interesting information. During that
year the rate per head taxes imposed
for all purposes throughout the pro-
vince is $9.78, which was 43 cents high-
er than the'previous year, and the
average mill rate for the province was
17.85, which was 0.41 higher than dur-
ing 1908. The debenture debt of the
province is $42 per head. By localities
the taxes imposed are: Rural per head
$6.81; mills on the dollar, 11.77. Urban
per head, $9.13; mills on the dollar,
2.4,30. Cities per head, $14.53; mills on
the dollar, 23.24. From the mill rates
here given it would indicate that the
people living on the borders of large
cities are the most heavily taxed.
This may be accounted for by the fact
that districts on the borders of the
large municipalities require the im-
provements of the city, and not the
congested population which make the
low mill rate possible.

A newspaper editor in one of the
Manitoba villages had t`he joke on a
citizen in his burg not long since.
This citizen and his family are great
admirers of the departmental stores,
and bought all their goods in Winnipeg.
A few days ago a daughter of the • citi-
zen got married and the entire wedding
paraphernalia, including the invita-
tions, was purchased in the city. The
day after the wedding the bride's fath-
er brought to the newspaper office a
long account of the event, but when
the paper appeared it contained noth-
ing about the wedding . but an an-
nlio incement of the wedding of three or
four lines. Next day the'citizen called
at the newspaper office to demand an
explanation why the report had not
been printed. "Oh, that's alright"
said the editor "you will likely find it
in one of the city departmental store
