The Right of Way.
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.

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

There has been much discussion as
to whether pants is singalar or plural;
but it scows to be when men wear

it's singular,

owing to the fact that it is unlikely
that a sufficient number will be avail-

Newly revised third and fourth book
readers have also put in an appear-

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

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.

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-

a boar in the best possible condition.
Extremes are to be avoided. The

Mr. Royer has a position. The best ditions, is dangersous to health and
wishes of Mr. and Mrs. Royer's many even to life. 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. Of course this

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

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. All that is needed is the

exercise of a little good judgment by
the advertisers and of a little intelli- I

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

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.
