This creature knows that there are hundreds of men' who: are doing their honest utmost to get things moving. Instead of his doing anything creative, or constructive himself the business buzzard is perched on some point of advantage eagerly looking for some one who will start a few dollars moving. Like the foul bird of prey that he is, his intention is to drive his beak and claw into' the prosperity for which another has toiled and spun. His aim is to raise prices. He offers the hopeful struggler funds at ■a ruino.us rate or on terms that* Will bring the last copper to his greedy maw. Financial history has many a -sorry page that tells of the financial buzzard and always the story is the same. When good enterprise rigs up some sort of commercial Krupp gun that’ will effectively dispose of such murderers of progress it will have done a good deal to bring in the new normalcy. RIPE, RED, ROSY Buyers are disappointed when they go apple buying. -Seldom do they find on the stands apples that are anything like up to the standard that Ontario is capable of producing. This is all to the ’ bad, ifor of all the fruit that find their way to our tables there is none finer, than the Ontario Apple when the apple is up to: its pos sible -standard. Housewives -are shy of the scabby, worm-infested apple. No . one cares to eat any fruit that has' worn, for months a dirty skin. ‘■Even less does anyone relish a fruit that has been the resting place of an enterprising but disgusting worm. But the ripe, red, well-flavored juicy apple cooked just' right and fitted out with creamy goodness! Ye gods! That’s a dessert to create an appetite under the ribs of death! We have the or chards, we have the climate -and we have the growers -to produce the -best apples in the world. Folk -want just the stuff in this line that we can supply. Yet ther apple is neglected. Folk who: pro fess to know say that we lost the apple trade because we- mis handled the crop. That being the case, we can regain by good sense what we lost by stupidity. The- farmers who make "thor ough” their slogan and hustle their practice have a gold mine in their orchards. SHIPKA v W. J. FINKBEINER.
