Some believe that the failure in the straw is due to the crop’s being sowed somewhat too early in the season. Still others are of the opinion that the straw is' afflicted by something approaching a disease. In any case the situation is worth looking into by the various farmers’ clubs. ftftftft ftft'ft** * GOQD TO SEE __ We saw a sight that did our eyes*good the other day. It was that of a farmer who had been to the loqal -chopping mill. The horse attached, to, the neat, old fatshioned market wagon crowded the shafts of the vehicle with plenty of hard flesh and freely working muscles. 'On the feet of the horse was a new set. of shoes put on- by the local blacksmith the' day of his visit to our good town. The back.portion of the rig was filled to overflowing with good chop­ ped stuff. Around .the feet of the farmer and his wife were bas­ kets of groceries that.we noticed the worthy couple carrying out of the stores. A good shower of rain had laid the dust and the couple as they wended their way homeward gave very evidence of comfort and prosperity. The sight, from a number of angles bore study.' • y * ft ft ft ft ft # ft ANOTHER SIDE TO. IT Just as, a heavy shower had driven a group of farmers to the shelter of a farm shed the other day the Huron County Council’s action in continuing the practice of gravelling the County Roads by gas driven trucks came up for discussion. One farmer fell in most heartily with the council’s resolve. He pointed out that the rubber -tires of the trucks are easier on the roads than are the nar­ row steel tires of the .farmers’ /vagons. Further, he quoted figures that made it look as if the "gravelling were being done at a less cost of about one third when the gravelling -is 'being done by trucks. Continuing, he pointed, out, the gravel is spread more evenly by the trucks and that there is less trouble about measure­ ments of boxes and fewer complaints of favoritism on the part of teamsters who do not secure -jobs. « “There’s another -side to this thing” objected a second speaker. “Our township, used horses this year.

Use your grey matter and make your choice. t . * /JCHAT GRAIN OF SALT Canada is pretty full ’of optimism just now. The completion1 of the railway to the James Bay region is an event of outstanding importance. The belief that this generation will see the- completion of the water-way of ocean-geing boats to the head ,of the Great Lakes appeals to the imagination of our soundest business meh. . The fact that the Empire has selected Ottawa for the meeting oif the Imperial Conference fills Canadians with the assurance that the Empire is' proud of the land of the maple and beaver. Added to this we have the Tecord of tire great Canadian financial institu­ tions that have weathered the great financial stown of the last few years. And, these are but a few of tile Dominion’s achievements that give sound reason for OUr financial confidence. Now, where -Canada .has enjoyed success that success has been based on sound thinking and real work rather than upon specula­ tion. Furthen, where -there Is real success one may well look for its base imitators, those parasites who live on the financial life­ blood of others. That these pestiferous actors are abroad there is not the slightest doubt. Already we hear -of stories of men who are peddling alleged securities based on Canada’s achievements and her future prospects with but one o-bject, to deceive and rob. In the interests of the inexperienced and the^unwary we venture to ut­ ter this warning. No man should invest a single penny till he has had the p’fopditio’h offered to him investigated thoroughly by inde­ pendent and informed parties., The agent who tries to persuade one to keep away from his bank manager or . his business agent bids fair to prove to be anything but a friend of, one’s prosperity, A had the proposition, offered to him -investigated thoroughly by inde- fs not worth thinking over is not worth anything else.

DUNNING NOT TO RUN FOB SOUTH HURON Absolute denial that there was t any truth tin the report, published i in London, Ontario, morning paper, I that the Hon. Chas. A. Dunning, the former Minister -of Finance in the King Government, would like to be a candidate in the forthcoming by­ election in .South Huron, was, made by Dr. J. W.

Mr; Dunning “has feelers out to see whether his nomination as Liberal condidate in South Huron would be acceptable to the local organiza­ tion.” “There is jio truth in it whatever,” said Dr. Shaw. He stated that a convention of the Liberal of the rid­ ing will take place at Hensall on Wednesday, July 27, when a can­ didate will be -chosen to contest the riding. The by-election was made necessary through the sudden re­ cent death of Thomas McMillan, Liberal member of the House.
