WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING BETTER NEXT YEAR "Conditions will be better next year." That is what the farmers in the drought areas of the Prairies are saying, even in the face, of almost complete disaster. They have said it before. "Next year," is the key phrase of the West. Some farmers have been saying it for the past eight years - without having their predictions once come true. Eight years of trying to maintain their establishments and their families! Eight years of nothing or next toenothing-and there may be only seventy years of life altogether!' The nature of the prairies, where the elements so overpoweringly in- trude upon the plans and hopes of man; seems to develop, in all whose success or ruin are there involved a particularly high type of courage. It is not a courage peculiar to any one generation, for those of the present generation have it to an extent at least equal to that of their forbears. It is not a courage peculiar to any one race, for all the various peoples, are meeting their difficulties in much the same way. Finally, it isnot a courage peculiar to any one occupa- tion, for it is exhibited by townspeo- ple as well as farmers, and in general by all'those doing business in the West. Woodstock is proud td share this spirit in that Massey -'Parris, whose plows were turning sod on the prairies even before the C.P.R. was built, is reopening its wagon and sleigh plant here -preparing, in the midst of this year's Western catastrophe, for next year's business. Conditions will bebet- ter next year, -Woodstock Sentinel -Review. be. But only a proportion do become fish, and of the fish only a proportion become adult fish. It is a pity that man's folly has reduced both these proportions. Nature has also devised the most cunning and curious ways of distri- buting plant life and other life over wide areas. To some seeds she has gis ven wings, as in the case of the maple. To others she has given hooks that they may catch in the fur of animals or in the clothes of humans. In some cases the whole plant breaks off and goes tumbling over the landscape on its voyage of seed -sowing. Other seeds are carried on the wind, as this- tledown is. There is no end to the tricks Nature plays. But sometimes man defeats Nature. ' He bum forests without replanting-. He shoots and kills until some bird or eomo animal become almost extinct or entirely so. He catches fish When they are full of eggs or defending their eggs. But we doubt if he need feel guilty when he crunches maple keys underfoot. It's a different story when city boys go out with axes and cut great gash- es in large maple trees or elm trees which have taken years to grow. There has been too much of this wanton destruction in the Toronto area of late years. Probably those who attend corn -roasts have been responsible for some of it. When a boy has a fine sharp shiny axe, there is a great tem- tation to use it, and with a few strokes he may cripple a tree. The "Only God Can Make a Tree" poem has been done to death, and the George Wash- ington story is no longer believed, but boys should be told not to "do it with their little hatchets." It might be a good idea to mention the mat- ter sometimes inthe schools. -Toronto Daily Star. NATURE'S LAVISH PROVISION The editor of the Dundalk Herald has an almost guilty feeling as he walks the streets "Itseems a shame;' says he, "to crunch out the life of. myriads of maple keys when there. are vast areas of denuded or unfor- ested lands which should be helping to conserve moisture, and at the same time producing lumber -for future generations." Thatmay be true, but there is no shortage of these "keys", or winged maple seeds, which man \tramples. If there is a lack in this respect, it is a lack of human endeavor to put the seeds where they will do most good. The fact is that Nature provides very lavishly in reproductive matters. She allows for tremendous wastage. If all the flower seeds and weed seeds and tree seeds fulfilled their purpose of perpetuating their kin ' the world would be a jungle. But birds eat the seeds .of plants; man eats the seeds of grain. There is enough and to spare. This principle of abundant provision for reproduction is true throughout the whole of nature.

At that time it was proclaimed the end of the "war to end all wars"! And yet today after a period of 19 short years, we see the falsifying of that glorious promise. But to those who sacrificed their all for the aim of peace on earth we hasten to do hon- or. The events of present days in troubled Europe have been steadied by their sacrifice, for surely nothing but the knowledge of the horror ex- emplified then, the cost in manhood, the cost in advancement of human relationship, has been the steadying hand over those statesmen who are doing their utmost to bring about' peace in Europe and to confine to Spain the conflict now engaged in. But whatever the world may be led into, the memory pf November 11th,' 1918, cannot be effaced from the minds of thousands of Canadians and throughout the country memorial services will be held in honor of those who paid the supreine sacrifice. -Mitchell Advocate. TO STUDY COST OF OLD ROADBED. Engineers from Ontario govern- ment, along with representatives from the municipalities will meet shortly in an effort to determine the actual cost of the roadbed of the Ontario West Share Electric Railway 'which the municipalities hope to sell to the provincial department of highways, At the initial meeting representa- tives of the municipalities, including Mayor J. G. Ellerton and Town Clerk John R. McKay declined to accept the offer of the department of, highways. The government is seeking the ex- :set ract cost of the roadbed which muxi.i- cipalities guaranteed thirty years ago. Goderich, Kincardine, Huron and Ash, field townships are asking payment for 20 miles of roadbed being used now on the Bluewater Highway which is under construction. Both municipal and government re- presentatives hope to come to terms at an early date. -Kincardine News. cileswwsuoT CUIL SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT , Photographing lightning presents no problem other than pstltntly waiting for the flash with the tens open, the camera stationary. At the top -A night picture made with an exposure of 25 minutes at f.8 on chrome type film. It's probable that a shorter exposure would have sufficed. OUTDOORS at night you will find many a good, perfectly "get- table" shot. Lightning, for example, takes its own picture very neatly. And the procedure 3s simple. As as lightning storm approaches, place the camera (even a simple box type outfit' will do) on window sill or some other convenient perch, aim it at the storm center, open the shutter for a time exposure -and then wait for things to happen. If you are lucky, a bolt of lightning will soon come within the ken of Your camera. Then close the shutter, wind the film to the next number, and try again. Lightning pictures are doubly effective if they include nearby buildings, or trees. Picturing illuminated buildings, electric signs, and other night -bloom- ing' subjects is simply a matter' of time ; exposure. The camera, of course, must be stationary. Length of exposure depends on the amount and .color of light on your subject, and the kind of $Im used. The chrome type of film is excellent for outdoor night time exposures, as it minimizes flare from strong, exposed lights. Usually, you'll find exposures of from two to five minutes adequate (unless you stop the lens 'way down; then you'll need longer time). And if your subject is bathed in colored lights, especially any reddish hue, give it about double the time you would otherwise use. Real moonlight pictures are some- thing to point to with pride. Moon- light will make pictures just as sun- light .does, but being many times weaker, exposures must be very con- siderably increased. The simplest way to calculate a moonlight ex- posure is to give 25 minutes for each 1/100 -second exposure that would be given the same scene in sunlight, Suppose it Is a landscape with a dark -toned objeet in the immediate foreground. The sunlight exposure would be 1/25 at 1.11. Then by the light of a full moon with sky clear throughout, it would be'100 minutes at the same stop. This could be cut down to 50 minutes with stop f.8. Without nearby dark -toned object, the exposure can be cut down to 25 minutes at 1,8; for distant land- scenes, to 10 or 15 minutes. If a sort of daylighteffect is de- sired, then exposures must be multi- plied by four. Warning: Don't include themoon itself in your picture unless you want it to show ,a nice bright "baloney" sausage banging in the sky. Like the sun, themoon"do" move. 149 John van Guilder.
