BETTER GO CAREFULLY Every time the price of a commodity is 4>oosted ythe ultimate consumer, gets a jolt. Price boosters must keep this steadily in mind for the ultimate consumer’s ’ capacity for paying is strictly limited. Certain commodities are scarce, but what may be bad of them is as rnadily available as ever. Why,’ then, in these trying days, raise prices? Do not those who squeeze the consumer see the dark way they are driving the commonwealth? Mutterings ominous and terrible are already being heard. Discontent easily ripens into . hatred and class ^warfare, the very thing that thoughtful folk are trying to avoid.* * « ’ » w « « I —Deputy Dan. 6 * ■> An elderly Ohio couple decided to buy the Jlarm ■ adjoining their pro perty.

When the lime came, to' pay, the’ old far mer pulled the pail.up dn his lap, removed the lid, , and started to count out an assortment of money, much of which had been out of cir culation for some time. Finally, he reached the bottom and stopped, obviously very upset. “Why,” h,e exclaimed, “there’s only .$14,0D0 here!’1’ ''His wife looked equally concern; ed’ for a moment,’ and then her. face brightened, “Oh,?papa,” she explain ed, “you brought the wrong pail.” —Occasional Reader . better go slowly Congratulations are in order for the farmers, who at the outset, of the war resolutely set themselves, to making the best of the situa tion by better farming rather than .by spending considerable time in price arranging.

The . young men who Were unfit for military service but who can still do. a good day’s ''Work have acted wisely in sticking to farming/' Of course labour is scarce, but the young farmer who has a bit or land of his own, i? he will but buckle to and at the same time exercise a little ingen uity may drive his business to a successful issue.

'» * * i »ft t Aslope of ten odd million Can adians who find themselves every day becoming more conscious of and more interested in democracy we have come to the sudden real ization that during the past, peace ful years this democracy has be come such a commonplace, taken- for-granted thing, that we haye Seldom taken time out to think or talk about it. Now, just a moment. Don’t immediately turn to another column as soon as you set your’ eye on this print-worn word, “demo cracy", Yes, true, you hear it morning, poop and night and it hits you between the eyes every time you turn a page, But look at it this way for a moment. Democracy is the horse we've been riding for the past few hundred years. We have the idea that opr horse is still in pretty good shape but not’ long ago a fellow by the1'name of Hitler picked up a green colt from some where, pinned the name Naziism on him, and took us on for a little race. That race isn’t finished yet; it’s just, in the second heat and every last nickel we’ve ’got is placed on Democracy to win. We can’t turn back and we can’t call the race off to wait for better running con ditions, We win—or we’re clean ed out. Now, in that light, is it any wonder we like the sound of the word “democracy”? With this same democracy work ing its very heart out to# maintain tbe longa grind there is a tendency on the pa’rt of public and press alike I' diton, on Monday, the 7th day of _ .

CLINTON WATER FOR AIR SCHOOL Let’s talk it over—per- can do a good job even » HOTELS IStt LOCATED ► EASY nnunn CLINTON—An 8-inch water main now carries water from the Clinton drilled wells to the Radio Air School one and one-half miles south on No. 4 Highway. The drilling for water at the school was unsatisfactory and was abandoned. In order to main tain an adequate supply for the school and town consumption a new well will be drilled here and.’ad ditional pumping machinery instal led. The cost is estimated at $9;000. The .main crosses the Bayfield' river channel three feet below the river bed, and is then carried up the hill on the south side. The pres sure from the standpipe here is suf ficient to force the water over the elevation. Many of us who heard the speech of Prime Minister Winston Church ill on Monday have been talking it over with greater courage iri our hearts than we have felt for. many, weeks. As we listened to Mr. tiChurchilI’s deliberate and assured utterances we thought, as we always do when' he talks, of the screaming devil of Berlin. What a vast world of difference lies between these two men! Churchill’? words some how seem typical of the outlook of the people of Britain. His re marks resemble the Englishman’s temper: neither lashes out in fiery assault. They both strike straight for the heart of whatever troubles and ' prbblems they confront with heavy deliberateness and telling ac curacy. No. words are wasted, when Churfchill talks, to arouse his lis teners—he simply tells the truth so bluntly that the dullest of us are shaken by his, quiet greatness. His address on Monday was not in any way designed to bolster false hopes in the breasts of his Suffering countrymen—in fact its most outstanding note was one of , warning and a ’ clear statement of the fact that the Ministry of Home Security is making every prepara tion for a renewal of heavy bomb ing raids. The Prime Minister’s cool bluntriess in relating such an unhappy prospect to his already ov er-burdened people fa surely proof of the fact that Hitler and (to quote the Trime Ministev) “the grisly gang that works his wicked will”, .miscalculated if they expected the British to crack. Churchill’s ans wer is “London can take it.”—and he speaks for Londoners. Imbedded, in the heart of spoken thoughts was a phrase might Well form a motto for Empire. Addressing Hitler said: “You'do your worst and' we’ll do our best/’ He summOd up Ger-, many’s chief ally in a few vitrolic words: “That unhappy, abject, sub ject province of Germany which used to be called Italy.” In precisely the same quiet tones as he had described Britain's grim future, he spoke of Germany’s Suf ferings. Astounding is the revela tion that the Royal Air Force has dropped on Germany in the past few weeks aitnOst lihlf the total ton*4 nage of bombs that the Luftwaffe ! has poured upon Britain since the war began. We have a notion that after lis tening to his arch-enemy, Hitler had bad dreams on Monday night. i $ *'• MRS.

When’ we’ve weakened, the United States economically we’ll wage war on them in their poverty • and' raise prices. You had better get in with us when the getting is good.” That’d be Germany’s policy. At last the United States has rubbed her eyes and is ‘getting down to business. For a long while she was _ as sleepy as the rest of us, but now she has got up on her elbow, "at least.. When the war is over the old.game will be played by ex citing pity for the “poor, starving Germans.” What is. the Can adian government doing to secure an ’ increasing share of South American trade? That way lies a great deal of the enterprise of the future. .« * * ♦ * * • “WE’RE INTERESTED” The. other day we had the pleasure of watching a company or a .unit or something, of the navy busy at its drilling. What struck *ust was the vim with which those young men were doing their drilling. “You see, we’re interested and We like to do our part just a little better than the other units,” the quartermaster told us. And how those young fellows 'Stepped about, with chins up, chests held high and well lifted feet! “You see this building is all appor- . tioned to quarters on actual shipboard. We use sailbrs’ terms. We treat each other as sailors on board, ship.” Hdw those fellows got those stairs and handled the rifle! “Oh, yes, we march, some-, times doing ten miles of an afternoon or twenty miles per day,” we Were told. .“Tired? Yes, we were at first, but the training brings us up to it. The officers know their Stuff.” But what must it be^to f be on board a ship with the salt sea breezes and the bracing air around them.

Its pronunciation is as varied as the colours of people’s hair and as entrancing as the colours in people’s eyes. Take the first syllable, for instance. Seine ladies sing it reproachfully, with lips close together and in a straight hue. But why the reproach? The poor men for the most part, may be a negligible lot but such as the dear things are, by and large, they do the best they can itt a Sinful World. 'Other ladies Open adequately their masticatory orifice and open the throat and bless the listeners with a beautiful “awe” sound that is beautiful beyond ail description. Then men; brave hearts, do the best they can but a description of what they do is far beyond our power. The effect is simply overwhelming. The second syllable Is even more perplexing ranging as It does from a plaintive “imph” or “umph” or “urn” or “meh” to the real thing, in a hearty “men”. Some sing it as a clincher to whatever hymn they happen to have been ringing. Others sing it as a sort of afterthought, while the really old-fashioned true blues omit the word altogether. We wonder and are perplexed Just what to do under circumstances so bewildering, We don’t like to be odd in a matter so essential, but with whom are we to cast in our lot that we may join In the melodious if varied harmony?
