Numerous recent motor accidents have brought to light the fact that there is a great contusion in the minds of the travelling public as to ' the right of way. The Highway Tra- I ilio Act Ontario clearly states as the first "rule of the road:" "Where two I persons in charge *vehicles or on ' horseback approach a crossroad or intersection at the seine time, the per- son to the right hand of the other vehicle or horseman shall have the right of way." Judicial decisions ' however, have been to the effect that having the right of way affords no justification for careless driving. Sunday Funerals Banned. The Year 1926. Old Moore's Almanac predicts all 1d ds of trouble for next year and the years following. Wonder and amaze- ment will hold you as in a spell when the possibilities of 1926 are laid bare" n he says, and then agony is piled upon agony with a lavish hand. "License, lawlessness, self-indulgence, rioting, debauchery, improvidence, murder, theft and violence will attend the loosing of the unbridled passions of this perverted and sin -sodden genera- tion. The sickle is put into reaping, and the world generally will become so decimated during the ensuing lour years that nothing short of Divine intervention will save it from selt- destruction." Royer—Engel Wedding. We take the following from The Hastings Banner, of Hastings, 'Mich., dated Aug. 13, and the bride is is daughter of John and Mrs. Engel, who were former residents of Brus- sels locality, Mrs. Engel being a daughter of the late Charles and Mrs, Bozell. The wedding took peace on Saturday, Aug. 8th.—A very pretty, although simple wedding was solemn- ized at the home of John and Iitrs.

Pants are like molasses, they are thinner in hot weather, and thicker in cold weather, There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singalar or plural; but it scows to be when men wear pants, it's plural; and when they don't it's singular, If you want to make the pants last, make the coat first, friends go with them for a life of happiness.

New Text Books Are Announced Will Not Be Compulsory For Present, However— Public School Speller, Third atnd Fourth Readers and Hygiene Changed. A new Ontario public school speller,' has been introduced for use in the schools and is scheduled to make.its appearance this year,: It will. not be Until compulsory, however, next year, owing to the fact that it is unlikely that a sufficient number will be avail- able for all youngsters immediately, Newly revised third and fourth book readers have also put in an appear- ance, or at least au announcement, but they are not compulsory either for the same reason. A new text book in hygiene will likely be ready later in the term and will not be used until next year. It was at first proposed to have this readyfor the school opening, but it a is not likely thatany copies of the new book will be available. Several decided changes have been made in the revised book, while the hygiene text book, is a complete new vohk,me. The school authorities are advised by the department of education, in a list recently received at the inspect- ors' offices, that none of the new books are compulsory, although at the opening of next year's school work all old texts will be replaced with the new. The Home Paper. An American writer says: The r , , �r,, Chicago Tribune carries modestly at P €n Q r +?nc•'l " its masthead the slogan "The World's Greatest Newspaper." The New York Times boasts of publishing "all the news that is fit to print." Other metropolitan newspapers run les to slogans, but all snake their claims with more or less justice, and all have their following. But each and all of these newspapers, as they come to the White House, are handled by a staff of clerks, who make extracts of what they think will bitere t the President. But the irreverent shears are never laid on the President's home paper. That is the greatest news- paper, the most important newspaper, that comes to the White House in the sack with newspapers from all parts of the world, and the President wants no extracts from it. He wants it all. days a week wlthuut being used in the ease of valuable bears, This is a matter which cap be regulated better in large herds, where several stook boars are kept, than it can where only one boar Is Rept and where out- side sows are admitted, The owner of a boar under the last-named con- dint/tie will require to exercise all his ingenuity to prevent his boar from being used too .freely during certain Reasons of the year in no case should more than one setvleo to a SOW be permitted and the boar should not be allowed to run with sows to which he Is to be bred, Ex- cessive use is likely to result in small weak litters, and the aim should he to save the boar as much as possible, It is not good to use a boar immedi- ately after be has been fed. 11 the boar le shipped some dfa- tanee and arrives excited and tired, he should be fed very lightly at first,; and not used for several weeks after' his arrival. Importance of Exercise, Probably nothing is more essential to the health and vigor of an animal than exercise. In summer it is us- ually a oomparetivcty simply matter to provide exercise in a paddock or pasture lot, but fu winter it is more difficult. A roomy pen should be provided with a sheltered outside yard. When practicable, it is a good plan to feed the boar ,outdoors at some distance from his sleeping 'quar- ters, thus compelling • him to take ex- eroleo in walking back and forth be- tween his e-tween'his pea and feeding place. Icy 1greatest.dra back to round a thew g this method, but this can be overcome by littering the walk with some strawy horse manure, Sometimes the boar can be fed in a well -littered barnyard, which makes.a very good arrangement when practicable. Feeding the Service Boar. It requires good judgment to keep a boar in the best possible condition. Extremes are to be avoided. The over -fat boar does not make a satis- factory sire as a rule, and a 'half- starved boar cannot transmit vigor and constitution to his progeny, to the same degree that he would 1f I i LW.

That gas is carbon mon- oxide; itis one of the most deadly of gases, and it is discharged from the exhaust of every car whose engine is running, whether the car is moving or not. We have several times in this column spoken of the danger of start- ing an automobile engine in a closed garage, and, though the warning a gainst this practice has been widely spread by newspapers and health lec- turers there.are a great many deaths caused by it every winter, . Carbon monoxide is the poisonous constituent of illuminating gas, es- pecially water gas, and it is also pro- , diced in large quantities by burning • coal. The air of stove -heated and fur- nace -heated houses is often contam- inated to a dangerous extent with this '' gas, which escapes when the draft is poor. It may even pass through the wall of the stove if the iron gets red hot, and poison the air of the room sufficiently to give the occupants , headaches, 'nausea, loss of appetite, vertigo and a constantly irritable con- ' dition of the mucous membranes of the air passages. When the gas es- capes continuously, it seriously af- fects the general health, for it lowers the powers of resistance and causes susceptibility to colds, grip, and pilau- moms. The gases from automobiles contain from four to eight percent of carbon monoxide; but as little as one percent is enough to produce serious, if not fatal, consequences.

Age of Boar for Service. The age tit wbich a young boar may be first used depends largely up- on his development. Some boars may be used to a few sows when not more than seven months old without ap- parent ;injury. As a rule, it is safer not to use a boar before he is eight months old, and to use hire as spar- ingly as possible until he is a year old. No hard and fast rule can be laid down, and'the owner must use his judgment in the matter. Exces- sive use when young is likely to shorten the period of a boar's use- fulness and since a boar will usually leave the best pigs after he reaches maturity, the importance of saving him wbne he Is young, will be read- ily appreciated. Some good breeders will not allow more than one service a day with intervals of One or two MARRING THE SCENERY Ci The Maine Legislature has set a- bout to rid its scenic coast line and motor highways of unsightly advertis- ing signboards. It will regulate their size and restrict their location. Other States have enacted or are consider- ing similar legislation. In Maitre, as in Canada, there is a good economic reason why bill- boards should be used sparingly. Her scenery is the State's greatest asset and advertisement. Anything that impairs or interferes with Maine scenery hurts Maine business. With one stone the Maine legislature will preserve the scenery for the tourist -and the business for the natives. It is not essential or necessary that the poster be abolished. The motoring public would be the last to ask such drastic action from the leg- islatures.

There is a place for the advertising signboard and a place for the enjoy -1 went of scenic splendors. No one place has room for both. Several of the national advertisers have already recognized this incompatibility and have undone the harm before the highway poster became a real issue. With commendable public spirit these advertisers have ceased erecting signs in places where they will hinder the full enjoyment of the `picture ahead.' ;There there is an outdoor adver- tiser who lacks the necessary public spirit the desire for self preservation will dissuade him from marring the landscape. It is to be said that the national and larger local advertisers are not the worst offenders. Although their posters sometimes conceal a portion of the landscape they are not withont some artistic qualities, which are totally lackingin the crude work of 1 proprietors of hot-dog stands, road- side inns and other limited advertis- ers, home consumer?

The IMMIGRATION PROBLEM According to the Minister of Im- - re,migration and Colonization in 1024- 26, 111,36.7 immigrants came into this country as compared with 148,560 in the previous year. This is a very marked falling off, but the policy of the government is to secure quality rather than quantity. The govern- ment is careful in the admission of citizens to bring in such people as will remain in Canada and is also more particularly interested in the type of people who will remain on the land and stay there. They are al- so endeavoring, so far as possible, to bring in families. As everyone interested in the pro- blem knows, a single ratan has no anchor to keep him on the land and is therefore more apt to drift away This is not so in the ease of the family unit. Then difficulties in regard to immigration today are greater than ' than they were some years ago. In ' the first place, Canada has no free lands to offer as she had when we were prepared to give 160 acres to anyone who would stay and settle. We have not that free land today al- ' though land is available at low prices.. Then in the United Kingdom and on the Continent people have not so mueli money as they had before the war and consequently are unable to travel. Conditions in Europe at the present time are worse than they were in the memory of the present generation; transportation costs are higher and the governments of these countries are reluctant to part with the agricultural part of their popula- , tion, But this does not mesh a eon- ; fission of failure on the part of the Ring government in dealing with this question, Eventually we shall have a better type of immigrant and Canada will be peopled with a selective typo ' the greatest value to hich will be of t the country. Thereisno harm in making haste slowly and the policy of the government is one that must be approved' by everyone who has studied the problem.
