The Island does not amount to much agriculturally, It has some minerals but manufacturers do not speak well of them. I he island’s forest wealth is most attractive.

Thev raised hogs that were not well thought of unless they were so fat that walking for his porkship was almost an impossibility. The same was true of horses and of cattle. The amount of fat an animal had on his ribs was taken as evidence of good animal husbandry. All that is changed. Only a small amount of fat on animals is toler ated. In this way an enormous source of fat is cut off. As the* rougher work of clearing the land va. accomplished and with the advent of machinery in a thousand occupations, the de mand for fat subsided. Then followed the ad vent of the mineral oil and the call for animal fat for lubrication was further curtailed. Houses in those earlier days were lighted by candles, With the coming of coal oil the demand for fat fell off further. Lately, however, the value of fat in various lines of manufacture has been renewed. Manufacturing of various sorts lia grown away beyond the dreams of the most foreseeing of our grandparents. The production of animal fats has not kept pace with the re quirements of the manufacturer. The value of the fat in the peanut has been recognized Some attention has been paid to the fat in flax seed, though the extraction of oil from the flax seed has not been Sufficiently made. The soy bean, too. is rich in oil. In the case of both the flax sued and the sov bean there is the widest room fox- research. The wonder is that the research by manufacturers with these two plants lias been so imperfectly done. Wliat i.s true of the flax seed and of the sov bean is also true of the sunflower. In fact we have only tapped the smallest sources that nature has supplied so liberally with the much needed fats * * Eax'ly Specializing Students have been graduated from manv of our universities. Many more are just leaving the high school. Still more have just left the public school. All of these are asking., or par ents and friends arc asking fox' them, what these bright young people are going to do next. Already many of the voungters are settling down to what they believe is to be their life work. We have seen this sort of thing before. We have seen, too, that many of these young people when they have time for a breathing spell, have found that they were mistaken as to the. choice of their occupation. They did not take time to mature in character and so find themselves unhappy and unable to stick it through. Let it not be. forgotten that the object of the schools and of the universities is not to give men something like a showy expertness in a profession or trade, but a culture of mind and spirit. Based on such culture, the young person is in a position to know something of his capabilities and the significance of the urges of Bind and heart that constantly beax* upon him. This along with some time spent in rough ing it in a world that is exceedingly practical and sometimes hard and cruel will put him in a position to square himself to his life work. Fie will still live better as he applies himself amid life’s hard knocks. And he will live still better if amid life’s hard knocks he continues to be a student of those grand principles that tend to make men social, spiritual and humane. « « * * to return to life would be for fat. They proves a .sufferers, take the ask high places of the island have been ravished by fires. Politi cally, the island has not been a success in man aging its public business and for this reason she had felt herself obliged on more than one occasion, to ask the mother land to take ovex’ the management of her public matters. Lab rador is rich in minerals and forest wealth, The extent of her water powers is very great but, so far, quite undetermined. In view of the ever- expanding demand for electricity, Labrador’s value cannot well be estimated. The water pow er is there and keen minds are appreciative of its importance. Further the strategic value of Labrador x\ coining to be greatly valued. It proved invaluable in the last great war. The island has proven hex’ worth in communication. First, there was the Atlantic cable. Next there was wireless and then the airlane, As for the union with Canada, old prejudices have to overcome. The rapidly shifting turn given events by inventions add to the difficulties the present talks, What a prize in the event wax’ Labrador and Newfoundland would be Russia. We know how the Nazis strove fox' bases in Labrador. Communism is doing more than casting covetous eyes on the whole colony of Newfoundland, All parties to the negotiations for the political union of and Newfoundland are under the most obligation to act wisely in affairs so * «■ # * Something Wrong About It rates are anything but class of people who keep worst of it is that there is present state of monetary IO YEARS AGO Exeter Uemetery. one of the most beautiful cemeteries to be found in Western Ontario, held Decoration Day on Sunday under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. and the Canadian Legion. The weather was ideal for the occasion. The Canadian Legion paraded to the cenotaph headed by the Exeter band and marshalled by Thomas Pryde. The members re assembled at the cemetery and placed flags on the graves of de parted comrades. The I.O.O.F. un der the direction of the N.G. Bro. C. W. Ke&tle and Chaplain Bro. Garnet Hicks paraded through the cemetery placing a flowering plant on the graves of their departed brethren. A short service was held and an address was given by Rev. A'. Page. Stanley .Smith, of town, took part in the musical recital at Cronyn Hall, London, on Wednes day evening of last week. Murray Moore, Robert Southcott, Ellis Pearce and Irwin Armstrong are this week attending the boys’ camp near Goderich.

Oil every hand we hear young people saying. “What’s the Use of saving? The government will see that it is wangled out of us.” How much truth there is in the saying We are not prepared to state. Only tills we know: there is ,^ome person with a keen eye on the pocket book of everyone who has man aged to save a dollar. We hear a good deal about bank robbers. We hear little of those clever men in finance who get the workers’ savings, by one smooth method or another. Ar any rate money is “funny”. We confess our in ability to get at the root cause of this monetary “funniness”. We believe, nevertheless, in two ‘ “Mur- honest “funniness”. sayings that have stood the test of time, der will out” and “When rogues fall out folk get their due”.

This does not prevent our asking some questions about the way in which the twenty millions is to be spent. Do we propose to send food and clothing to the sufferers? Do we propose to replace the farm equipment of wjhich the sufferers were despoil ed by the vandit Nazis? Who is to control the twenty millions as it gets to the needy? What sort of audit is to be made of the expenditure? We believe that the Canadian parliament should be fully informed of the administration of the fund. In relieving suffering Europe there is need of the hard head as well as of the gener ous heart. * » * # Mind The Step ‘‘Tert pounds for the man who discovered, the island,” wrote the thrifty king of England appreciative of his obligation to Cabot who dis covered Newfoundland in fourteen ninety seven, Owing, no doubt, to the king’s gener osity, Newfoundland has remained a colony of Britain ever since. A vast territory of Labrad or has since been added to or claimed by the island. Attention is drawn to Newfoundland by the visit of gentlemen to Ottawa to discuss the practicability of uniting the colony with Working With Nature As the war closed Britain was nearly everything but in the quality of her sons. Her exchequer was empty but her spirit was undaunted. Before her Jay the hardest work, if she were to regain her former prestige as a' commercial, trading nation. And that road she highly resolved to travel. She called upon her child ren to deny themselves even more severe ly than when they fought the battle for free dom. She required her workers to work harder than ever to produce the goods the business world was willing to buy. And her sons re sponded. Everyone worth his salt toiled as Britishers never toiled before. The things that Britain had done well she did better. But that is not all she did nor is it the best of her ac complishments. She resolved,to have mother earth assist her in her terrific task. One illus tration of this is what she is reputed to have accomplished with the peanut. From this fine natural product she is extracting a fat—a prod uct that is in ever-increasing demand. The oil from the peanut is proving to be the very thing he r manufacturers require for a thousand uses. South Africa and other British possessions are yielding this peanut in abundance. Let no one despise Bitain’s effort with the peanut. Under Dr. Carver the peanut and its products saved the. agricultural life of the Southern United States from something periliously like ruin. No one can quite estimate what the lowly pea nut did for the. United States. Just now Britain finds that the peanut can be grown prolifically and profitably in many portions of her associ ated nations that hitherto have done little to support her economic life, At this crisis in her manufacturing history the products of the pea nut are supplying ingredients for her manufac turing that Britain finds very difficult to ob tain from any other source, Britain is climbing the economic hill of difficulty by utilizing’ materials that hitherto have been regarded as useless, poor in 15 YEARS AGO Progressive Association of Huron held a successful pic nic at Bayfield oxi Wednesday af ternoon of last week.
