AGRICULTURE:—The amount which may be loaned to any one
peisonundd% The Tile Drainage Act has heretofore been $1,000. The
amount is changed to $2,000 for every one hundred acres to any one
person in response to a general demand for a broadening of the scope
of the Adt.
Municipalities are authorized to pass by-laws providing for the
erection of buildings on municipal pro,
perty for the joint purposes of the muni-
cipality and any agricultural society or
other body and for the leasing of the
buildings by the municipality to these
bodies, the idea- being that better and
more suitable provision may be made for
• rural fairs and for buildings where pub-
lic meetings may be held.
The Community Halls Act passed in
1919 is repealed and replaced by a mea-
sure more elastic in its terms. The
necessity for having an athletic field In
connection with a community hall is
done away with and the benefits •of the
Act are extended to school sections as
well as to townships and villages.
Hon.. Mr. Doherty The Cream and Milk Purchase Act,
,1.920, replaces an Act passed in 1919, and itiakes additional and more
practical provision for testing all cream and milk purchased for sale,
shipment or manufacture. This measure is the result of -experience
in the Department of Agriculture and is of particular interest to dairy-
men.
A very important measure is one which provides for loans from
the Province for the purpose of enabling co-operative marketing as-
sociations to acquire lands, buildings, equipment and machinery.
The amount which may be loaned in any one case is ,$11,000, but must
not exceed fifty per cent. of the appraised value of the property in
respect of which the loan is made. The loan will bear no interest for
the first two years, after which six per cent. will be payable. The
terms of the loan will be five years from the date for fifty per cent.
and the remainded at the end of'another period of five years. The
Act is carefully safeguarded and incase of difficulty the Minister, witli�
out the expense of delay -or Iegah proceedings,• Acquires a title' to the
property in respect of which the loan is made and can` deal with it

A Series of ' Talks on Music '
By Prof ' C ' C`. Latrgli'er, Mils: ' 1F3ac.; Sarnia
ViL—CHAMBhR MUSIC—The, terns
"Chamber music" may be said o be
any music suitable to be performed priv
ately in a .room or small concert hall,
orchestra music or opera.
Chamber music includes many var-
ieties of compositions. It Is one of the
branches of music which is still most
vigorously alive, consisting mainly of
such combinations and varieties as sol-
os, duets, trios, quartettes of strings
and wind instruments, also songs, glees
pianoforte solos and duets,
The earliest intruntetital ;Chamber
music of which anything certain is
known was that composed for the set
of viols by such composers as Dowiend,
born 1562, who was a famous lute
player of London, England. Dow and
and composed music for the six instru-
ments comprising the Chest of Viols.
John Jenkins is said to be the first
musician who specialized in instrument
al compositions. He wrote fanciful little
pieces of the Chamber music class for
viols and the organ.
Chamber concerts are still very much
in vogue. The Chamber band consists
of musicians who play only Chamber
music adapted for such performances
as given in private or small halls.
The modern compositions of the
Chamber music class from the duet to
the octette are usually written in sonata
from for several intruments in concert
with this added distinction that each in
strument will play an individual part,
not a mere part to complete the har-
mony.
;Chamber music_ originated during
the middle sites to add re the pleasti e
and entertainment of the banqueters;
but not until the violtis becanie a pro-
minent instrument did Chansber music
take a definite lorni.
One'ofHie fist to compose •Chansb-
er music Li 'a definite forni was `Sam -
martini, born 1705 (M,Uan). He produc
ed pVer a tttiousind worlts among which
was much'CHambrer mask, He Is,knowti
also nst't6 reacher, of-�Gluckr.end 'was
}lie, predecessor of Haydan hi ,fie de-
partment brth'ts class of siiu'sic. '
Ciaydari's inothex had set her heart on
making Liin a priest, biif thFoughF the
persuasion of his father and others in=
terested overcame her objeciioiis'. Hay -
dm's life, as massy another of,oar great
fuusiclans was a life of, ups and downs'.
Wh.en'he was eight` years of age`Reutt-
er of St. Stephen's Cathedral; Vienna;
who was searching to, lioy , singers,
na, , At seventeen 1•taydan found himself
ability that he at once took him fo Vien
na. At seventeen Haydn found'hinIself
on the street no' home; no money, 'arid
in shabbiest of clothes, A friend Jook
him tis until he could rent his own at-
tic.
Haydan's great Aim in life was to
become, a really great itiuslcian. A
publisher living in the same town
loaned him some volumes of music,
these Hayden read and re -read,' also
Copied and analized &est all and at
twenty-three years of age his great
opportunity cause. Earl Von Furn-
burg invited Haydan to his country
house. Hayden found there the usual
country house orchestral - consisting
of a few strings, a couple of horns
'and oboes. Haydan saw his oppor-
aunity ,and made use of it, and ap-
plied. his knowledge to the miniature
orchestra. For this organization he
wrote his great string quartettes,
and other important Chamber music.
From this time on Haydan was able to
compose his music without interup-
tion,
ilaydan started life,as the son of a
poor peasant" and for years struggled
against poverty and won, becoming a
rich man and devoted himself to
his work
Father of Papa tlaydan as he was
affectionately addressed by younger
contemporaries, was the father of the
sonata form and of modern instru-
mental music and musical humor,
but he was most happy in his com-
positions'for quartettes and Chamber
music,

TIE COUNTRY WEEKLY
(The Farmer's Sun)
Nearly all the country papers have
raised their subscription price from
$1,50 to $2 per year. This has been
made necessary through the increased
cost of publication, In common with
the city dailies, and the trade, and
class publications, the country papers
have been brought face to face with a
very serious situation and have been
forced by, self-preservation .to ingrease
their subscription 155rice, it is to be
hoped that no more of the country
weeklies will be forced to suspend pub-
lication. Already there has been a
lengthy' list 'of papers forced Into the
bands Of the receiver.
No matter how efficient city papers
may be,,they can never take the place
of the country weekly. .There is a
personality. . and flavor about the home'
-'town t pap whicji,cannotli furnished
by any other pubhcationton;earthy To
• the poopte" of thisdtstrict lt'isguide,
phiioopher, and ,friend,. and .to those
li'Dsng way,-froni,:the: old home centre,
its weekly coining is welCom,i4, like _ a
lmeessage from an absent friend.
For 'the most` . part country papers
have doge a real service hi fighting the
bat¢ies df ,the cotnisiunity they serve.
They'see that the interests of the small
town and of the farm are linked up to-.
gether,,and for tli'e most part they have
been warm supporters of the Modern
'Movement to give the common people a
'larger...oice in the affairs of the nation.
In passing, a well-wisher for the
country papers. would like to makea
suggestion. In making it, he recog-
nizes the difficulties under which his
country confere labors, that he is often
'editor, compositor, reporter, and ad-
vertising manager combined. Despite
the many and .. increasing difficulties
under which the country publisher, has
had to work during recent'ye.ars,we
would like fo see more of them conduct
an editorial column or,, corner where
'they could express their opinions on
public questions. Some of t'he country
papers have excellent editorial columns,
and it is really too bad that all of thein
do not feature this side. of their paper.
After all, we have more confidence
in the crystallized judgment of tate
country editor than in the shootings
and rantings of the' average city paper.
There is nsore time for mature thought
and ripened judgment, in the country.
The rural editor is nearer to his con-
i stituetfey and is better able to suntmar-
I ize aid express the opinions of his
i readers than is the city writer, The

AN APOLOGY
"Open Confession is gold for the
soul". So it becomes my duty to apol-
ogize fol' lite qual'ty of come of the coal
that ave have been distributhsg,lately.
We are sorry that a few cars of our
coal has not been what 15 ought to
be, but Owing to, tile,' isnptttiell:pe of 11
good many of our customers, we were
compelled to resort tin 1ite;puretiltse of.
several cars, of what we call, jobbers
coal, In addition to what we Were able
to secure front our straight line dealers,
The coal which we ordiiuiriiy handle.
under ordinary circumstatnces, and the
coal thatltae passed through our otfiee
in past years, has always been of high
quality, and. stalisiard preparittion, and
'while the few cars of jobbers; coal,
Which it, became necessary for us to.
handle, cost a great 'deal more money
than our straight Jlue coil, evidently
the price was no indication of the qual
sty, a5 has 'been the' CtiSe with a great
many things in recent times.
The reason is obvious, for these job-
bers or independent operators as they
call themselves, buy up whittever coal
they are able to secure, good, or; bad,
and hold it until iIse,situatiyu beeontes
critical, and then being under no Gov-.
,:ernntent control, they bleed we, poor
dealers who are unlucky enough to.be-
come theirs victims.
Our customers who are all ipteltigent
people, and readers of the dally press,
will readily agree with me, when we say
that year by year -the coal situation has
been getting worse, until it is nos{
worked up to a certain pitch, which we
might call the limit, and. if our good
people will kindly bear with us in our
endeavor to do our best for them, we
will look forward to the.tinte when a
radical change is going to take place,
and conditions will revert to a certain
extent to what they used to be,
In our own particuar case the circum-
stances have been as follows'—We have
been peculiarly fortunate in. having a
straight Zine connection with the two
great American Coal producing Com-
panies, since the amalgamation of the
Forbes and Holloway businesses, and
last year secured from these companies
sufficient coal for our orders. This
summer we sat tight expecting to get
the sante tonnage of our good coal as
usual, and from one company we did,
which coal we sold at from $15,00 to
$17.50, but the other company fell so
much short in their tonnage that we
had to fall back on jobbers coal.
In September we bought a couple of
cars of tits jobbers coal.. We noticed
it was not up to the mark and put it
in our bins. People said we were hold-
ing it for higher prices. There was
some truth in it. Bus had they known
all the truth, they would have known
that we 414 no }vAat,tg'put poor coal
out with' out own -st'raigh't line sluff,
and also that at the price we paid for
is, it could .not be sold at .$17.50, or
even et $20,50 and make a legitimate
margin,
Instead of improvement from then on
until' now the situation..has beenbe-
coming worse, and for every. car;.of
straight line coal, we have been gett-
ing at $10.00 at the mines, we have
been getting two cars of jobbers coal.,
at.$t6,00 at the mines.' This makes
lin average of $14.00,, and.with the
American freight .raised , to $3.64 per
ton, this puts our coal at $11,64 at the
Canadian Border, spot cash payment,
which.by the way is .another inconven-
ience which we are forced to piss on
to our customers, 21 -course this $17.64.
is for a gross ton.which.redpces•,by cat
culation t� $15.73 per net ton. This
coal is now at the American Border,
and has to be paid in American Funds,
and with exchange ranging from 12 to
t5°% you may safely add $2.65 per. ton
for exchange.
We, are now .at $17.98 and still go -
Mg, strong,Add .$1.90 per ton, for
Canadian freight, and 70c per ton for,
delivery to the dollar and we, have coal_.
which costs us $20.58, provided the
weight we pay for holds out, which
very seldom happens when re -weighed
to our customers,
' So the person who thinks the coal
man's lot a•pleasant one, has another
thought coming, when he realizes that
coal at $22,50 only nets him less than
$2,00 per ton or less than 10% on his
investment, while it takes over 10%
of itis turnover to meet ordinary ex-
penses co -incident with keeping a
place of business open.
However we believe the worst is
over. We are expecting more of our
line dealers after the close of naviga-
tion, We also believe that most of the
people who are kind enough to trust
their order with us, have now got suffi-
cient coal to give them a good start
for the winter, and if not, they will
kindly let us know their wishes, they
will receive' our courteous attention,
Thanking you Mr. Editor for the
space you have so kindly devoted to
this explanation of the situation, I ata,
At your service,

THE IN ft E.J ; Cg1'dIE
Front many quarters there come
reports of an increase in crime, dye
probably to the general unrest as
'much as anything else. In our, own
fair province of Ontario we have not
entirely escaped this morat reaction.
Fufti rdturns rage not easily! avail-
able for the purpose of making com-
parison, but sufficient data of an
indhatjve character is obtainable from
the appended statement of the year-
ly population, of, the Central Prison
of thisc province, and, of. those prison
orgatitations, which now chiefly re-
present it, namely, the industrial farm
at Burwash and the prison brick -
making plant at, Miiufco. It, is as
follows:
191a 907
191„ 1029
1913 1347
1914
1915
1916
1917
19'18
1.919 -
1920 1160
1t will be seen that the crest of
the crime wave was reached in
1915, tate second yeas' of the war.
and. that, under tate Dominion Pro-
hibitory legislation which speedily
followed, there was an immense
reduction in the prison population.
Since peace was 'restored the up-
ward climb has been resumed, but
the total enrollment to -day
is only about one-half what
it was in 1915. It is, however,
store than sufficient to overtax the
existing ,accommodation in the On-
tario reformatories and jails, and as
a precautionary measure it is under-
stood the Ontaio Government con-
templates refitting the buildings of
the Guelph industrial Farm for the
reception of prisoners, aithought it
is not likely that they will be per-
manently thus used. It is probable
the prospect ol.; considerable unem-
ployment, during the winter, with its
attendant s'viis, has 'dictated this
course.
