(Kincardine Review,) Once in a while we run across a man who blames "the government" because his taxes are high. He may not know which "government," but ho is sure it is "the government." One man in Kincardine Township is positive that it is rural snail delivery that raised his taxes last year. For the information of the few lot us say that not one cent of municipal taxes goes out to either the. federal or provincial govern -ant. The men faipalityn derives some revenue from the provincial government in the way, of sohool grants and railway taxation, bid neither the Province or the Dominion gets a dollar of the municipal taxes. Rural mail delivery is paid wholly by the federal govern- moat. The motor car, traveling at a tre- mendous speed, was just about to turn a very dangerous corner. "Do people lose their lives here fre- quently ?" asked the nervous lady passenger. "Not more than once," yelled the intrepid driver, as isa took a firmer grip of the wheel, FROM -OCEAN TQ OCEAN. British Columbiana Plan to Build a Great Highway. Throughout the length and breadth of Canada, there is just now an awale• ening to the needs of better roads, Past and west and, north and south the cry for improved highways .is heard, says P. W. Luce in Canadian, Courir. As with many another'ublic affair the west was the first to take co•niz- ance of this condition on a large scale, and with a view to hurry for: ward the day when all Canadian roads would be a credit to the nation, the Canadian Highway Association was formed in New Westminster last No- vember, its main object being to eon - street a highway that will reach from bhre west coast of Vancouver Island to Halifax, N.S., and that will be traveled by automobiles, horses and vehicles ton every mile of road. it is not the purpose of this assn• elation to build this road; such an enterprise is far beyond the power of any private body or association; it is essentially a matter for the Govern. meats, Federal and" Provincial, But. the work which the Canadian High- way Association plans to do will, and has tended to, advance the construe - tion of the • transcontinental highway, Edrication is the means -whereby the officers of the Canadian Highway As sedation plan to create and awaken.. ttn cry for good roads to such an ex- tent that the public all over Canada will rise and demand this boon. Every year, in an indifferent, halting way, with something of the beggar's plea for alms, the tax -payers of this coun- try have petitioned for better roads aril for the improved highways. The intention is that in the future the economic necessity of good roads be so strongly impressed on the powers• that -be that adequate grants`will be made without cavil, And this is as it should be, for no country in the world is in greater need of good roads than Canada is to -day. Perhaps because its headquarters are in the Province of British ()alum bia, the work of the association has met with a greater success in the west than has been the case in the east. The officers, or rather the majority of them, are western men in close touch with western conditions, and ac- quainted with western members of Parliament, . both provincial and fed. eral. Personal representation is a mighty leverage when concession is sought from a Government, and this has been -used repeatedly in British. Columbia, The result is that a sum of $1,800,000 in excess of any previous appropriation was secured from the Legislature this year, and that a big portion of this is to be spent on the construction of the British Columbia section of the Canadian highway. Through the Hope Mountain district is perhaps the most difficult road that will ever be built in Canada. The sunt of $75,000 has been set aside for the work' there this year, this being supplemented by an equal amount given by the Canadian Pacifio Rail- way. W. J. Kerr, of New Westminster, is president of the association. He has shown his active interest in the cause of better roads for many years, and has made this his one hobby. Inde. pendently wealthy and full of virile enthusiasm, Mo. Kerr was mainly re- sponsible for the calling of the con- vention that resulted in the formation o! the Canadian Highway Association. Roy Murtland; aged 20, died yes- terday aft Simcoo from injuries re- ceived 1011110 felling a tree, Empire's Cala to saner$ "Approximately twenty million mer. have been mobilized in Europe. A large pro- portion of these have been withdrawn front the farms of the countries at war. Even in neutral countries large numbers of food producers have been called from the laud to be ready for emergencies. It is difficult far its to realize what will be the effect on food pro- duction through the withdrawal of several million men from all the great agricultural countries of Europe. These millions cease to be producers, they have become consumers, —worse stili, they have become destroyers of food," HON. MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture. Britain must have food food, this year, and food next year. Britain is looking to Canada to supply most of that food.. We are sending our surplus now, but we must prepare for a larger surplus this year and next year. Patriotism and Production must go hand in hand Because of this need of the Empire for more food, and the call to Canada in that need, the Canadian Depart- ment of Agriculture has arranged for a series of Conferences throughout the Dominion with the object of giving suggestions as to the best ways of increasing production of the particular. products needed at this time. At these con- ferences agricultural specialists, who have studied agricultural conditions and produc- tion throughout the world, and the best rneans of increasing agricul- tural production in Canada, will give valuable information and suggestions to the farm- ers, live -stockmen, dairymen, poultrymen, vegetable growers, and other producers of this country. The Canad- ian Department of Agriculture urges you to attend as many of these Con- ferences as possible, also to watch for other information on the subject that will be given in other announcements in this newspaper. ATT YO CONFE END UR RENCE Put Energy into Production of Staple Foods The Government does not ask farmers to work harder,- so much as it urges them to make their work more productive,- and to produce those staple foods that the Empire most needs and that can be most easily stored and transported. Europe, .; and particularly Britain, will need the following staple'foods from Canada more than ever before:- Wheat, oats, corn; beans, peas. Beef, ,Hutton, bacon and ham. Cheese and butter. Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada Poultry, and eggs. Vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, and .turnips. The larger the yield of these staple food products, the greater the service to the Empire. Germany in the last ten years has doubled the average yield of the majority of her field crops largely through better seed, thorough cultivation and use of fertilizer. And while the Empire's armies are busy putting down German Militar- ism, let usat home appropriate the best of Germany's agricul- tural methods for the Empire's advantage. The Government urges farmers,' stockmen, dairymen and other producers to make a wider use of the Free Building issued by the Canadian Depart- ment of Agriculture.
