' We are glad to hear that yo^were keeping well and that you were enjoying your garden and flowers. The word from Tor­ onto-is that Mother Crawford is im­ proving-, which is welcome news. It is hard to be so far away from loved ones, when they are sick. Marjorie would have liked to be able to go to her mother ’ during this long ill­ ness, but it could not be done. We have had sorrow in our com­ munity here, since last writing. The Dickinson baby, fifteen months old, died during this last week. The Dickinsons are old friends of ours, and of Marjorie’s people at Ithaca. They lost two children on the way home, evacuation time. He was one of our fine men who held on through all the troubles, while she started' home with the family. One died in Japan and the second in Vancouver. Now this third loss in their family, is especially sad. This little fellow hap. been sick for softie time and his mother had put up a great-fight-, but lost out at last. We bu-ried the little body, Friday morn­ ing, bn the slope of the mountain. Our children keep looking well. Mary Ruth has gained an ounce a day since coming to the mountain. Edith doesn’t seem to fatten much, but she is full of pep and on the go all the time. There is a big bunch •of children on the mountain this year, and each one' lias been able to find friends suitable to the age. David Hibbard, just Donald’s age, and in his class at school, is stay­ ing with us this month. He and his father went on a trip into the Thi.b- eta border. The Vest of their family went to Clinei and David preferred not to go there, when they returned from the trip. There were no boys his age at with us. The time most upon I go down again this week for a. few days. We want our fam­ ilies to remain a week in September The first half of the month is us­ ually pretty hot, and too long a stretch of it wears the children out. We men would go down before that, but come back for the family. Economic conditions are still pre- ty serious. Many of the mountain people have almost nothing to eat. New rice will be in soon, and we ai’e hoping the price will be down. It seems a strange coincidence that our Western wheat farmers can hardly give their grairi away, while out here food is so dear the people Cannot buy it. Of course transpor­ tation costs would be prohibitive. It is time to retire, as I have to be np early to get off oft the road. As ever Jack. Cliilei so he is staying for moving back is al- us. Mr. Bridgman and, the policy pf lending money and theft making it as difficult as possible for the borrower to repay, got us anywhere but into trouble and will its issue be anything short of bankruptcy or war? LET US HAVE THE NAMES Itsis alleged that some folk are taking a dishonest advantage of the free transportation of goods designed for the relief of the general suffering in the west to further private ends. The names of all parties attempting this mean business should be made public. I*** *•*««« A TIME OF PLENTY Early autumn finds Western Ontario enjoying a harvest that lea'ves room for no regret. Every crop needful for' the supply of human wants is here in abundance. In a day when prices are low it is well to keep this cheering fact well fixed in our minds. Prices are bringing most commodities within the reach of those who really need them. There may be call for oidfashioned bar- ■ ter, but barter is the real basis of successful trading. WHAT A PITY! Just as we .had found out about all we needed to know about mass production, the whole thing was spoiled by our not knowing enough about mass purchasing! We believed so sincerely that he was the real benefactor of the race Who made two blades of grass to grow where formerly there grew but one that we lost our heads completely as to the other real benefactors. Production is ■ all very well, ibut there is little value in products that meet no real want. The problem of production was solved by the wise old teacher who warned his scholars that when one had food and clothing and shelter that he should be content. Mass production had made it very diffilult for some folk to face any emergency. We have heard of folk's, for instance, who, year in and year out, did nothing but fill a grease cup or move a lever. Now there are no grease cups to fill and there is no end served in moving' the levers. But cup filler and lever mover ax® now hungry. ******** I MUST BE THOUGHT AI5OUT No government dax’e undertake to find jobs foi' all its citizens. In particular and sad instances in accidental cases such as now are only too abudant, the government does well to see that some ot its citizens who have fallen on hard times are provided with an op­ portunity of making a living. At the same time unless a conx- monwealth is prepared t.o sacrifice individual liberty dach citizen must shift for himself in matters of industry. A government is but a committee of the people- freely chosen to do the business that . concerns all the citizens. Let this fact not be overlooked. It will be a sad day, indeed, when people form the habit of looking to the government or to anyone else to help them in every time of strain. Putting it in another way, if the government is obliged by any •reason in the world to provide work for its citizens in the days of adversity, that same govex’nment has the right to commandeer its citizens’ powers at all times and und©,iy-all circumstances. The citizen who insists on the right to seek .his ^wn job at any tixxxe, need not he surprised if he must bear the consequences ot his own skill or of 'his own folly, dom as well as of enjoying schoolmasters whose work lessons are mingled with a 1 * * Liberty implies hearing, the ills of free its advantages.

They’re __ __ who’s paying those folks who are hang­ ing crepe on our business houses and the places where men earn their daily bread? We’re told a good deal about the firms who are running on short orders. But let us not forget that for many a day we ran on very long orders. Not so long ago work was so abundant that we could scarcely find workers. Within a decade and a half girls were being paid enormous wages for daubing paint on cannon and screens designed to deceive the unwary. In those same days youths with no experience at all in workmanship were being paid as if they were wonders mechanically. No doubt these young people” saved their pennies. If they failed to do so the fault is their own. We’re simply getting working towards a new normalcy. No ship is the worse of having her water-logged conditions corrected. Still less is she to be pitied 'if she is being rid of her barnacles. Even less is she object of commiseration when she is having her compass and steering gear adjusted. No one should shed tears when she- takes observation by the sun or the great sentinel stars to find out where she i§ sailing. Positively that is all that is going on now in business. When a vessel’s crew deliberately ig­ nores the laws of navigation they need not wonder that counter many and rent. Crepe hanging is all paid for that work. But a 1‘ift if their noble vessel sustains many­ they en- a strain Nor need business man wonder that when they play the- ) the fool’s reward.that they reap the fool’s « *♦ * * fool PROPHETIC sus- the Salada Green tea is a masterpiece in Mending ■suur GREEN TEA ‘Fresh from the gardens* announcement Th engagement Is announced of Etta Rae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt.

When new noi^malcy arrives this editorial will be recalled. “When addressing the Canadian Chambers of Commerce in Regina, Gebrge C. McDonald, Chairman of the Executive, drew from the treasure chest of history some amusing statement which showed how great minds reacted to the disturbing economic and social conditions of their times. This paragraph in Mr. Mc­ Donald’s address did not escape the watchful eye of the Editoi’ of Saturday Night, and we are indebted to that Journal for the re­ production of these pessimistic prophesies. In a gloomy moment the great parliamentarian, William Pitt expressed his thoughts in these words; “There is scarcely any­ thing around us but ruin and despair.” Wilberforce must have created some doubt and misgivings in the minds of faltering bride­ grooms, for he said he “dared not marry, the future was so dark and unsettled.” In 1819 Lord Grey believed everything was tend­ ing to a convulsion,” and on the eve of his death the Duke of Wellington offered up thanks .that he would be spared from see- “tlxe consummation of ruin that is gathering about us.” In indus­ try, commerce and agriculture there is no hope.” said Disraeli in 1894; and the wife of William IV cheered her feeble though well intentioned partnei’ with the remark that her one desire was “to play the part of Marie Antoinnette with bravery in th© revolution t4iat was coining on England. As late as 1868, just aftei’ tlie un­ ion of the provinces in Cauada, Lord Shaftsbury took the world in­ to his confidence and said that “nothing could save the Bi’itlsh Empire from shipwreck.” Mr. McDonald made no reference to the “Whispers of Death” that emanated from Montreal a few years back, aftd the dreadful warnings that ate heard practically every session from the- Seats of his Majesty’s loyal Opposition in the House of commons at Ot-* tawa. These and other prophetic utterances viftted in more recent times are simply current literature, not old enough to be grouped With classic prophesies that now tell us how much a country can come through and keep marching on with bands and banners.
