Last year President Hoover asked
the American Legion not to press
for the bonus. The Legion complied,
This year a large; majority of the Le,
gion demands a bonus that will run
over the two billion mark. In 1917-
38 they held np their country's flag.
Now they are holding up the eoun-
try. It is not in China alone that
soldiers disbanded turn to banditry.
If you have invested, say, $20,000
in a 'business that is not, paying in-
terest on the investment there is an
easy way out. All you have to do is
to forget five, ten or fifteen thous-
and—write 'em off—and perhaps you
can make the balance pay. This is
what is called recapitalization, or a
remodelling of the capital, structure,'
and is very highly regarded in busi-
nesess where other people who have
no hand in the management and
draw no salaries have furnished the
capital.

Is mankind under any obligation td
undertake expensive and sometimes
dangerous expeditions for the rescue
or relief of fliers who undertake un-
necessary and dangerous expeditione
in the pursuit of thrills and public-

their search for the flying Hutchin-
son fanrily.
The Wisconsin 'councilman who,
'angered by the sermon, tried to get
back his dollar contribution should
try to emulate the Earl of Rosslyn,
'who went to church one Sunday and
heard a stranger preach against
gambling, The regular pastor, know-
ing the earl to be an inveterate
gambler, hoped he would not take
offence. "Not at all," said the earl.
"It's a damned poor sermon that
does not hit nye somewhere."

An editorial writer thinks the No-
vember elections will have a mollify-
ing effet upon the public temper,
allaying the discontent that, is seeth-
ing beneath the surface, In the olden
days when we were malting maple
syrup we used to dip a chunk of pork
in the cauldron when it threatened to
run over and it had a 'sedative effect
at once.. We gather, however, from
dispatches that party managers are
finding it difficult to replenish the
pork barrel. •il.

An evangelist from Detroit is hold-

he completed his work in Detroit, or
did he regard it as hopeless? Many,
years ago, Rev. Dr. Rainsford, after
leaving the city, boasted that he had
driven. the devil out of New York.
Rev. Sam Jones, himself an evan-
gelist, said: "Yes, he drove the devil
out of New York in the same way my
father's dog used to drive the hogs
out of the corn patch. The dog
went first."

The Trades and Labor Congress
asks that it'be represented on the
new board of three directors which
the Duff report recommends for the
Canadian National Railways. An-
other recommendation of the report,
however, urges ruthless economies in
the future' management of the road.
To what extent could a representa-
tive of the Trades and Labor Cons
grass he counted upon to carry out
that recommendation? His mission
would be to frustrate such economics
where they affected wages and the
hours and other conditions of rail-
way labor.
Seaforth and Exeter Carden Club Members
Exhibit at Local Fairs
During the past summer two Boyo'
Monne Garden Club Contests were
conducted by the Huron`Branch of
The Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, one
in the Seoforth district with 15 mem-
bers, and the other in the Exeter dig=
trier with 15 contestants.
The club members were boys be-
tween the ages of 12 and 20 and each
boy was supplied with seed which he
was required to plant according to a
definite pian. Each club member
was also required to keep garden
notes and make an exhibit of fresh
vegetables at the local Fall Fair. The

WONDERS OVER A LOT OF
THINGS
Editor News-Record:—The follow-
ing paragraph appears in your edi-
torial column in your issue of Sept,
15th. "Queen Anne's lace or Wild
Carrot is a beautiful study in blos-
som but a very bad weed. We often
wonder why farmers allow it to rip-
en in fields and along highways
to bring forth a more abundant crop
next year."
In reply I beg to say in defence of
the Farming Profession, Yeh we
wonder.
Also Mr. Editor, why did you not
comment on the fields that need
draining, the farm buildings in need
of repair, the fences that are needed
the farms that are being abandoned,
the fields of sow thistle and couch
grass, the lack of Electrical equip)
nment and bathrooms.
Yeh, we wonderl
And also many trains have been
discontinued on our railways and
many employees thrown out of work,
thus incoveniencing the public, Yeh
we wonder.
Also why the sales of automobiles
have fallen off and in consequence
many are out of work and in dim.
tress, "Yeh we wonder"
Also taxes are two and three and
four times as high on farms as they
used to be and farm produce lower
in price than it used to be. Yet we
wonder,
City Real Estate has fallen in val-
ue. Many stocks and bonds that
prodi'eed dividends a year or two ago
today show a deficit. Many who ri
year or two ago were millionaires
and multimillionaires are today in-
solvent. Yet we wonder,
And there is a Depression, yet we
wonder when it will end, Well, it
will end when the farmer will find
it profitable to grow farm produce
instead of. Queen Anne's lace and oth-
er weeds, and not till then as to the
date cannot say within a century
or two. Just now he has neither the
money, the time or the help to erad-
icate weeds.
Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "An
army' is like a snake, it goes on its
belly,", meaning of course that farm
produce was needed to feed the sol -
dins. Fron time immemorial the
fanner has been looked upon as a
joke and treated with contempt, and
been treated to a lot of advice by the
highbrows and imitation highbrows,
So oro wonder why our City and
town people who have been giving us
so much' free advice on efficient andr
profitable means of farming do not
.give us a practical demonstration.
No we cannot afford the trine or
money to .properly eradicate the
weeds infield and roadside or ,pro-
perly fix up our farms and that is
the real underlying cause of the de-
pression, "Believe it or' not," Farm
produce has fallen in value 80 per-
cent while necessities that the farm-
er has to buy have only fallen at most
30 per cent. Yours truly,
-B. WiALDRON.
HUNTERS ARE BEING CATERED MEET THE DAY
TO, We mast x•iseand mneetthe day
Ontario hunters, going north for
their annual, outings at hunting clubs
and camps, are, to have the advan;
tage of special lowrates over Cana-
dian railway , it was announced re-
cently by C. P. Riddell, ,Chairman of
the Canadian. Passenger, Association.
From October 19 to November 15 in-
clusive, on presentation of current
year's hunting license, parties of five
or more hunters travelling together
may secure return tickets at one and
one quarter times •the regular first-
class one-way fare. These tickets
will be good from stations west of
Kingston, Iarrowsmith and Sharbot'
;Late and South of Parry Sound and
Scotia Junction to points north of
the two Last-named stations but not
west of Ileron Bay, Longlac or Nak-
ina nor east of Pembroke,. Ont., or
Amos, Que., and their limit will; be 21
days but in no case later than De-
cember lst. Arrangements have also
been made by Canadian railways
handling this hunters' traffic for the
provision 'of special baggage. cars,
combination baggage and passenger
cars and colonist coaches, with mini-
mum number of tickets required for
such facilities and with the provision
that hunters may parry dogs, which
are permitted in Ontario hunting,
and theirotherparaphernalia in such
cars without extra charge. t
A HUNTING WE'WILL GO
Thrusting out into. the sunlit wats
ers of a little Canadian lake is a
grassy point on which stands an plc;
log hunting camp. An ancient pine
sweeps 'the cabin roof with its bran;
ehcs and year by year lays a thick
brown carpet of fragrant needles be-
fore the door -step. Grey lichen and
moss fill the chinks between the logs.
and spaces around the door and win-
dow openings. At the rear a wea-
ther-beaten stove pipe juts out, se-
curely anchored by heavy wire al
gainst the attacks of the elements.
Fran the shore a curving path leads
past clumps of white birches to the
entrance. The door, a solid affair 01
sewn boards, is secured only by a
rusty latch. Inside a stray beam of
sunshine lights the slim interior mak-
ing visible a row of bunks, a stove,
rough table, chair, shelves and other
articles of simple woods carpentry
construction.
For many spoons the squirrels and
chipmunks have had the .freedom of
its shelter. Claw marks on the door
post are in the nature of a visiting'
card left by Mr, Bear. Deer have
gazed on it questioningly, and in the
clearing to the west of the cabin tuft
tailed bunnies have kept a wary eye
on it as they hopped about on their
own affairs, For long it has beers
enveloped in the silence of the north
woods, a quiet hush made more not-
iceable by being broken occasionally
by the whirr of a partridge, the
weird laugh of a loon on the nearby
lake, or the plaintive calls of the
whip -poor -wills as evening closes in.
Ifark! Far down the lake murals
the exhaust of au outboard ranter,
carrying to the invisible inhabitants,
of the point the message that the
owner of the camp will shortly take
possession and that the hunting
season has arrived.
There are many cabins such as this
in the vast Canaclian forest zone
which stretches across the continent
from Nova Scotia in the east to Bri-
tish Columbia in the west. In these
woods, along the uplands and in the
meadows, Canada harbours an im-
mense population not shown in cen-
sus returns. There is the natural
habitat of the moose, king of the for-
est. Over .marshes and wild ride
beds the clucks and geese circle and
wheel with raucous cries. Deer, bear,
mountain sheep, goats and other
four -footed animals, upland birds
and waterfowl help to swell the im-
pressive total of Canada's wild game
population.
Game refuges, national and pro-
vincial parks, wise game laws admin-
istered by the individual provinces,.
and a national policy of conservation
of game and wild life in which time
Provinces and the Dominion work
hand in hand indicate the sense of
responsibility that Canadians have
in guarding their heritage in game
for those who thrill to the call of
outdoor life. The Canadian stand=
point in all conservation effort is
broad enough- in its application to
welcome as hunting guests .. people
from other lands, provided only that
they observe the ethics of sports-
manship.
TIIE 'VALUE OF FATS
A notable fact is that diet plays a
most important part in combating
tuberculosis. After the ,German occu-
pation of Warsaw there was an al.
arming increase in tuberculosis, bet
cause the Germans removed as much
fat of all kinds as they could with
which to make high explosives. When
the people of Warsaw were able to
return to the diet containingsuffi-
cient fat, the tuberculosis declined
rapidly. It is generally accepted
that a diet 'rich in fats constitutes a
definite protection against tubercul-
osis, Efforts made to reduce dust by
factories are also cited as a con-
tributory cause Of the decline, as well
as sanitation, water supply and per-
sonal hygiene, --'Montreal Star
As the day meets all mankind.
Morning puts the night away,
Leaves the darkness all ,behind,
Yet in human hearts we find
Shadows lurking gaunt and grey
Shutting out the morning's ray
From the chambers of the Minn,
We must rise, the day to meet,
As the things of earth arise:
Birds that face the eastward skies,
By the dew of night made sweet,
Prom the hills the shades retreat,
With the dawn the darkness dies,
Only golden sunshine lies
On the valley, on the street,
Let us put the past away,
Face the -future, fail. and bright,
What men do or what men say,
This alone can rnalte' them right:
Looking eastward to the light,
Trying some untravell'ed way.
We must leave behind the night,
We must rise and meet the day.

REMEDIES RECOIHMENDED FOR
ILLS OF ,RAILWAYS
Principal recommendations of the
Royal Commission, which made its
report to the Government last week,
are as follows:
1. Establishment of a Trustee
Commission of three to replace the
Canadian National Railway director-
ate of 'seventeen.
2. Meetings at regular intervals
between Canadian National trustees
and three Canadian Pacific Railway
directors to discuss co-operation and
economy.
8. Appointment of an arbitral tri-
bunal of three --composed of the
Chief Commissioner of the Railway
Board (Hon. C. P, Fullerton) and a
nominee from each of the railways—,
for the adjustment of disputes be-
tween the systems. In the event of
the disagreement being a major one,
the President of the Exchequer Court
may add two members to the arbitral
tribunal. Both railways, the Domin-
ion, and all Provinces may invoke the
powers of the tribunal, whose decis-
ion would prevail in any dispute be-
tween that body and the Board of
Railway Commissioners.
4. Naming of chief operating offi-
cer for Canadian National, with ti-
tular rank oaf President, to look after
working of system in detail. But

cation in services or facilities'. ,
7, Joint operation of such proper-
ties as 'nay be convenientlyand with-
out undue detriment to either party

SOME CAUTIONS FOR HUNTERS
With the opening of the hunting
season when '7,000,000 hunters
in Canada and the United States will
go afield in pursuit of their favorit;s
game, the American Game Associa-
tion issues a list of "Life Saving,
Cautions,"
"Hundreds of people are killed cit
wounded each year, principally,
through their own carelessness. Many
hunters kill or wound themselves in
the pursuit of game," the association
point, out,
"DON'T carry your gun put to-
gether in automobiles, wagons, etc,;
it's the 'unloaded' gun hese that
shoots, tool"
"DON'T shoot your gun, after put-
ting it together. until you have look-
ed through the barrel or barrels and
find it clear.
"DON'T pull guns through fences;
carry them over the fence with you,
keeping the muzzle pointed away,
from yourself and others. If a breech
loader, open it before crossing.
"DON'T set your loaded gun a-
gainst a tree or Leave it lying on the
ground if you have dogs abut when
you stop to rest; they may knock it
down or step on it.
"DON'T lay your loaded gun doms+
in the bottom of a boat; picking it
up sometimes causes it accidentally
to discharge and shoot the bottom 1
out,
"DON'T shoot your gun after fall -
PAGE 3
r l ing, climbing a bank, or walking, ov-
er newly -plowed ground until you-.
have examined the barrel and find it
' clear.
"DON'T let your gun muzzle point
_
toward water for if the gun is fired
with nuzzle under water, it will ex-
plode in most cases,
",DON'T shoot at movement -- 11
may be a man, cow or other live-
stock. Besides, every sportsman not
only want's, to see his game, but bit
it in a vital spot,
"DON'T shoot at game 'until you;
have assured yourself that no other`
living creat}ire, house, barn or other,
such property is in the line of fire."'
INITIALS ON PENCILS
The initials H.B., aft, B.B., and'
so on, seen on pencils, inchoate the
-nature of the lead they contain. H.
stands for hard, meaning the clay,
B far black—or sofa—meaning the
graphite used in the making of lead'
for pencils, An HB (hard black) pen+
oil is really the standard by which
other pencils, are graded, Harder
pencils will be marked IHI, IIHI'I, and
so on according to their degree of
hardness, while softer pencils will
similarly be marked with B's. The
more clay there is in the mixture..,
the harder the pencil.
MIGHT TAKE THE CONCEIT our.
OF THEM
The police magistrates by resolu-
tion at the annual meeting in HamiI-
ton have gone on record as favoring.
the use of the strap for offenders
under twenty-one years of age. In
certain cases this is the law at pre-
sent, but in others imprisonment is
the only course open to the courts.
As the Owen Sound Sun -Times says
"punishment by the strap, if used
with discretion and wisdom will un-
doubtedly have the effect of proving
a deterent on a good many youths
who are waywardly inclined, but who
have not been duly impressed with
the necessity of walking in the
straight and narrow path of honesty
and integrity. A great many lads
just need to be brought up short,
and punishment of this kind, if not
too severe, but at the same time mak-
ing them understand that the officers
of the law mean what they saw, and
without breaking their spirit, might
have the desired effect." Of course
on incorrigibles the strap would bane
no effect, but web might the matter
be left to the commnion sense of thy
courts. Magistrates may be relied
upon to exercise good judgment
