In midsummer the drought first appeared as something of a routine relief situation, but within a few weeks the number of destitute jump­ ed alarmingly from a few thousand to forty and fifty thousand and rapidly mounting. Millions Expended. The Federal Treasury poured lions upon millions of dollars iSaskatchewan and Alberta to lieve the farmers whose land turned to dust and whose were dying of thirst. - Finally the Department of culture, aided by private charity in Eastern Canada, stepped into the situation. Civil servants literally became food merchants'—on a tre­ mendous scale. Nearly 2/0 00 car­ loads of food and clothing were routed into Western Canada, but the problem presented itself of how to distribute the food to families scat­ tered across thousands of square miles of land. The situation was near the dan­ ger point when the department set up a central bureau in Regina, and trainload after trainload of food relied into the West, to be broken up and rerouted across the prairies to outlying districts. Private char­ ity, churches and social service clubs •of the East sent 900 carloads of food and clothing and the Federal 'Government matched the number with 9 00 carloads of food. •Civil servants .became purchasing ■agents on a grand scale. They went to the Maritimes and' bought 10'0 •cars of fish, to Ontario and Quebec and bought 1<43 cars of turnips, 34 of beans, 51 of cheese, 229 of carrots (beets, cabbage and parsnips; went to British Columbia bought 200 cars of apples. Railway Co-Operation The railways co-operated by ing fast schedules at half of the us­ ual freight rates. As one jo.b became controlable, however another problem arose— the thousands of cattle dying ot thirst. Again the service functioned. At Carberry, Manitoba ninety-eight sections of land were fenced in and an assembly and distribution plant set up. Organized shipping • days were appbinted in 25 0 municipalities in the drought areas, and farmers shipped their cattle to Carberry, whence 100,000 head were eventual­ ly sent to Ontario and Quebec for feeding. The farmers were paid cash on the spot. A Treasury offi­ cial stood beside the auctioneer and as each sale was made the deal was completed with cash. It was a triumph of organization. But so far as official Ottawa is concerned, the only story told is told in statistics. Huge columns of fig- ues—dollars and cents, freight rates purchases and sales. Value of Ontario Crops The gross value of agriculture production in Ontario 19'33 is expected to be 0 00,-000 as compared 000,000 last year and in 193'2, the low point of the de­ pression. The value of field crop production shows a reduction of $116,000,0'00, as the 11 per cent, gain in volume of production was not sufficient to offset the sharp de­ cline in prices. Average prices since harvest this season are 19% Ibelow for the yeai’ about $3 65,- with $3'5'8,- $248,000,00'0 James Walker died at his home, Clinton, in his 83rd year, after an illness of one week, porn in Tuck­ ersmith Township near Brucefield, he lived .his entire life in that com­ munity, except for a few weeks spent in Clinton. Surviving are his wife also one sister; two sons, James A., at home; Norman, of Brucefield; one daughter, Mrs. Mary Brown, at home and one grandson. Mr. Walk­ er served his township as councilor for several years, was a member ot Brucefield United church and was a Liberal in politics. THE NATIONAL DEBT IThe National Debt of Canada has assumed large proportions during the last two decades. In 1913, the year before the Great War broke out, the net debt amounted $314,- •000,000. Last yeai’ it was over 3 billions, it was almost ten times greater. In 1913 the per capita net debt was $41 but in 1936 it was $272, The interest paid per capita in 1913‘ was $1,654 last year it was $12,20. For many years preceding the War, cutsoms and excise duties, together with the head tax on Chinese immi­ grants were the only revenue class­ ified as taxes, and as customs and excise was indirect, the average ■Canadian felt but little the pressure of taxation for Dominion purposes. The War enormously increased the. Nationalists came in power in 1928 expenditure, and this increase had to | and Chiang Kai-shek became presi- be met in the main by loans. In 1913 the national debt had been incurred almost altogether ei­ ther for public works of general util­ ity and was represented by corres­ ponding assets or had been expended as subsidies to enterprises of a na­ tional character. Broadly speaking it was a debt incurred for produc­ tive purposes. Also it 'was held mainly outside of Canada, chiefly in the United Kingdom, The debt which was incurred for war purposes is -not represented by any tangible balance -sheet assets and it is now held mainly in Canada. However, nearly two and a half billion of it, five-sixths of the total net debt of ■Canada, is now payable in this coun­ try, according to the Dominion Bur­ eau of 'Statistics, Department of Trade and Commerce.

IThe area of China with dependen­ cies is almost four and a half, mil­ lion square miles and is consider­ ably larger than that of Canada. The population is close to 500 million which is approximately the popula­ tion of the British Empire, so that China and the British Empire to­ gether own half the population of the whole world. Nanking, the, capi­ tal of the Chinese Republ ic’ sin ce the dent, is a city of 1,300,000. China is open to the countries with which Canada does a fairly large business, running last year up to over $9,000,000. The great bulk of our imports are peanuts and peanut oil, for China is the home of that favourite nut. But we get a great variety of other things hemp, rice, soya bean oil, bone and ivory, cured fish, animal eggs, cotton, lace and net, silk, wool carpets, brass, chinaware, fireworks and preserved ginger.

COOL SMOKE] 1 Ford offers two new cars for 1938 — the Standard Ford V-8 and the De Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in appear­ ance— but built to the same Standard of mechanical excellence — on the same 112- inch wheelbase. Because people liked our 1937 car so well, they bought more than of any other make. They liked its looks, its smooth performance, and the way it handled. We have improved oil that car in the newly styled Standard Ford V-8. But some folks wanted still more size and style, with the same fundamental Ford advantages. For them, we have designed a hew De Luxe line. The De Luxe Ford V- 8 Sedans ale longer with more room, larger luggage space, and finer appointments. De Luxe, cars ate equipped with the 85>-horsepower Ford V-8 engine. They provide more motoring satisfaction at low Ford prices. The Standard is even lower priced than the De Luxe. It is a brilliant, modern cah It has graceful new lines and well-tailored interiors. It gives you the same basic ad­ vantages of the 85-horsepower Ford V-8 engine. Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en­ gines available to every one, they were used ohly in expensive cars. Since then, four million Ford owners havd learned the genuine enjoyment of driving an 8-cylin­ der car with all-round economy. The low prices of the De Luxe and Standard cars make it easy for you to step into the V-8 class. , FIT YOUR CAR TO YOUR NEEDS With two' distinct designs, two body sizes and two price ranges, you’ll find a 1938 Ford car to1 fit your personal needs exactly. Whatever one you choose, you get time- proved Ford V-8 performance. Whatever price you pay, you get a car built soundly to serve you well.... That’s the Ford way.
