Right in this district there was no immediate danger of dried out crops, but the pastures had already begun to suffer and the heat was beginning to drive the ripening of the crops one upon another. Other districts in Ontario, howev- er, were not as highly favored as here. In the tobacco producing counties, the rain came only just in time. And the fruit producing. dis- tricts were also suffering badly. But the rains came and now the danger is said to be over for this year. In fact the rain has not only sav- ed the Province, but has ensured a yield above normal over the whole of Ontario, and in a great many dis- tricts, bumper crops. • We even venture to say that there never has been a year on the aver- age Ontario farm, when every crop it produces bulked as large and pro- duced, at the same time, a superior quality of grain, as is being thresh- ed this year. And there is a new look about the country. The pastures have a new greenness; the root's, the beans and even the corn, if possible, have tak- en on a new lease of life. There is even a new ''Smell and sweetness ov- erhanging all. . - In spite of all this, however, we seem to be far from satisfied. We hi ar verylittle about bumper crops, hut we hear a great deal about low prices. Prices that are ruinous to the farmers, and the rock upon which the agricultural ship has been wrecked every year for, the past de- cade. There may be quite a bit of truth in that theory too. But we are ra- ther inclined to the belief that a Careful study of the whole situation might show that agriculture., over a period of years, has suffered far Iess fromthe low price of grain and stock, thanit has from the high price of gasoline and the high cost of running expensive automobiles. • Just Thirty Ye rs .Aga Just thirty years ago on July 25th, M. Louis Bleriot, a Frenchman, crossed the English Channel from a point near Calais and landed in Eng- land ngland in an airplane flight. It was the first great airplane flight the world had ever witnessed, and a marvellous feat it was consid- ered and it took a )marvellous ma- ehine ` to accomplish it, the world al- so thought. And we would marvel at M. Bier- iot's machine to -day. Not at What it accomplished, . but rather how it managed to accomplish it, because it was a three -cylinder, five • horse- power, wooden and. canvas craft, which with his wei'g'ht and fuel weighed in the neighborhood of six hundred and fifty pounds. The dis- /tance was twenty-three and a half miles, and it was travelled in thirty- seven )).minutes. That was only thirty years ago, and yet today planes are not only crossing the English Channel in hun- dreds daily, but crossing as well ev- ery ocean and every continent, in - ,eluding Canada. • lie The Principle Of The Thing Skit: was entered with the e Court at . Washington on cif iaSt week to recover sie P,. ;ll ;the .ease are ii�,gg� °Ca#far�t, ,of' t%' e • r r+ ,..place, who -charged a . one cent sales ;tax on a fifteen cent purchase. The - California Supreme Court has al- ready sustained the collection, but the resident is not satisfied with ,that. The contention of the San Diego resident is that the State sales tax is three per cent., while a tax of one cent on a fifteen cent purchase would be at the rate of 6.67 per cent. That, the residentclaimsy is excessive and illegal. We'll, perhaps it is, but most of us would let it go at that. Supreme Courts are expensive playgrounds for those who enter them. It would cost quite a few thousand doIIars to play the one in California, arid quite a few thousand dollars more to car- ry the game on to Washington. And all over one cent. But per- haps the San Diego resident is one of those men who believe that it's the principle of the thing that counts. • King George's Guard Has A History Canadian newspapers and maga- zines tiave recently been showing pictures of King George VI inspect- ing the Yeomen of the Guard at their yearly roll call, held recently at Buckingham Palace. The Yeomen are said to be the old- est corps of their kind in the world, and possess an unbroken record since 1485, when they were founded by Henry VIII on the battlefield of Bosworth, which ended the War of the Roses, and were then made the personal attendants of the Sover- eign. In those days no one but a Yeoman might touch the King's bed and whenever it was to be made, each sheet was laid with great ceremony and the King could not go to bed un- til the work was "well and truly done." The Yeomen no Ionger make the King's bed, but even to -day some of them have Yeomen Bed -Hangers and Yeomen Bed -Goers after their names and it is still their duty to search the vaults of the Houses of Parliament before the King opens a new session, and they still march be- side the King's coach on the way to Parliament, and are often to be seen at Court. There are many quaint a n d ancient customs connected with the British Throne, and "The King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard" is but one. •' A • A Great Financier Passes It is rarely indeed that either the lives or deaths of the great Cana- dian financiers and industrialists in any Way enter the life or history of Seaforth and its immediate vicinity. In the career of Sir Charles B. Gordon, however, this town and vicinity has always had an interest; because of the fact that Lady Gor- don was a Seaforth girl. As'Annie Brooks she Iived here and her bro' thers and sisters attended the pi blic school and Collegiate Institute. Sir Charles, who passed away suddenly in Montreal on Sunday, commenced his business career at the age of 19 years, as an assistant in a warehouse, at $5 a month, and without possessing any special ad- vantage, except ambition and a far and clear vision, he rose to become President of the Bank of Montreal, a director of some fifty companies, and one of the great national and in- ternational financial leaders of his day, as well as being one of the greatest Canadian leaders in public service.

Just then ;;'old Joshua, oar tth d horse here at Lazy Meadows, name trotting over from the water tnaugh bo nicker for a little petting and attention, Joshua is today the best behaved horse at Lazy Meadows ,butt 'twas, not always so. Driving into the village one atter- noon a few years ago, I met a man fremr• the Twelfth Oonoession, He was 'belabouring a rather attractive look- ing horse with a very ugly black- snake whip, and as far as I could see was aocompliehing nothing except the ruination, of the horse. I didn't in- Iterfere. To say anything to a man when he's in such a frothy temper is. inviting trouble. When he stopped and proceeded to tell me all the bad paints of the! horse, I was sorely tempted to tell )vim that a little com- mon siens;e and kindness would ac- comi)ilish more. I as'ked, him what he would take for the beast. He gave This price, and by lowering it twenty dollars Lazy Meadows acquired a new ,horse: IIp and down the line throughout the township went the word like wildfire tl:at Phil Osifer head bought a .bad ,actor of a horse. Mrs. Phil regarded the deal as a bad bargain,• but somea,ing seemed to tell me that no horse could be as bad as that one was painted. with Mrs, Phil's words of .caution still ringing in my ears I hitched up the hors- which by some quirk was cal'' -ed Jcs:ua. He took quite well to his mate, a docile little mane and he Cldn't seen to mind the disc as' we clattered out to the sum,m,er fallow. After a half hour of steady work I was convinced' that Joshua was a real find at t(') ridiculously low price at which he was acquired. Then he stopped stock still. in klace of venting wrath on his head, I let the bees go slack and, pulling out my pipe, proceeded to enjoy a smoke. E let it be quite evident that I was in no way, anxious to proceed with the disking, In about ten min- utes he )coked back over his shoul- der at me but I paid absolutely no attention. After another ten minutes when I picked up the 1•ir)es the team From The Huron Expositor August 9, 1889 Mr. George Beadle, of -East Wawan- osh, cut down 12 acres of hay in one day with a Massey mower. and drew th'e same in the next day.

After about ten minutes of waiting the was quite ready to proceed. At ten -thirty he took a notion to back up. That was just the opportunity I had been look- ing for. Letting the discs down as far as they would go, I backed that team all around the field. After a short pause Joshua was given his chance to go ahead or backward and he chose the forward direction, and so' ended the first morning's' work. With surprise Mrs. Phil saw me without any broken bones'. There re- mained the afternoon! It, too, had Ishas'e of thrills, For )instance, when Joshua decided to "lie down and rest." He cringed and cowered when I started working over him, ex- pecting the whip, but all I did was to tie him securely so that it w ouid be impossible to change his, mind. His docile companion I unhitched and let forage for a little .grails along the fence, Poor Joshua! How tired he must have been of that uneomfoa•t- able +position'. 'Every so often, to add insult to injury, I would pet him as if he were doing the very thing 1 wanted him to. It worked. ,quite successfully and, the day was finished without any serious mishaps. But . during the week there were other s,triu:ge epi- sodes. Of course I was using the best set of harness and when: he de- cided to run away I just let him run, wagon, chop, teammate and all. Af- ter a mile the pace was too hard, so he slackened ep and finally came back to a walk. Joshua became one of the best ;horses we have ever had at Lazy Mea- dows. My methods may seem strange but I've always found that a little kindness whether it be with horses or humans works in the same way. In the case of Joshua I never abused hire but gave him his fill of whatever antic he decided on. Too many ill- considtered whippings had made him stubborn. But it's surprising liow much hard- headedness 'can be softened and washed away with a little kindness. - A pat of the hand at the right time is worth all the black-sn'alre whips you can pile in a tenacne field . . and that's a mighty lot of whips!

On board was Robert E. Peary, who seven times previously haxi tried in vain to reach the North Pole. Now, from the little town's wireless station, he sent .this neveal- trig message to his wife: "I have made good at last," Then to the press he sent five simple words that he felt would electrify the world:- -Pole reached, Roosevelt safe— Peary." Proceeding south, the Roosevelt anchored in Battle Harbor, and there a chartered ship, its decks almost a- wash with newspaper reporters, came alongside. Peary felt gratified)—un- til the reporters shouted for his com- ments on "the big row." "Row? What row?" asked Peary, disconcerted. Wily, between him and Cook. Didn't hie know that Dr. Frederick A. Cook Chad reached the North Pole first, in April of 1908, and had announced it just five days before Peary sent his message from Indian 'Harbor? Two men reaching a goal that had been sought far three centuries and an- .nou'ncing it almost sineultaneously— why, it was the biggest story of the decade! Peary was incredulous, The Pole was in the center of the ice -jammed Polar Sea, 4;00 miles' from nearest land, and Eskimos who had been with Dr. Cook on this Arctic "bunting trip" had assured, Peary that they =had never beer', out of sight of land. Peary told th+e reporters his own •story without flourish. He and this men had left New York in the Roosevelt on a blistering July day in 1908. At Cape York he began picking up the Eskimo helpers he had learned to know Intimately during hie years in the north. "You are like the sun," they said. "You' always, come back," They were glad to thei•p him again, They piled aboard with their wives, chill'dree, akin tents, sledges and dogs. Peary Was 52 years old at the time. Twenty years he had devoted to seeking the Pole—ever since that sunny afternoon in Washington, D.C., when the had chanced to pick t;;rp a volatlne on Arctic exploration and the Spell of the ne'rtih) had seized him„ 91 Thereafter he hardships and had sacrificed ing career in of the Navy. breaking 1906 had endured untold repeated diefeats. He to his quest a promise the engineering corps But even his heart- exped•itiou, from which he and his men h,ad barely returned alive after geeting within 174 miles of the Pole, the sudden death of his principal financial backer, and the flat failure of his last book had not swerie'd him from his' purpose.. He was determined to reach his, goal this time or die trying. It was his last chance. Foot by foot the Roosevelt work- ed its way from Baffin Bay into the narrow channels between Greenland and Ellesmere Land, almost to the Polar Sea itself. There they spent the winter, the Roosevelt locked in the ice. Meanwhile the Eskimos buii•t sledg- es and hunted. for extra food—musk- ox, caribou, polar bear and seal. Matt Henson, the husky Negro who had been on Peary's expeditions for many years, built sledges of a type which Peary had perfected, The Eskimo women sewed fur clothes, which, Peary had found warmer and more durable than any civilized man's; gar- ments. The white men tougihene'd thewselves for the job ahead, in tem- peratufes as low as 60 degrees below 2 era. Since the pole was presumed "to be in the center of the ice -jammed Polar Sea, the problem was one of 'dashing from Oape Columbia to the Pole and back again—about ,1,000 miles round trip--wibh the least pos- sible weight. All equipment for men and clogs had to be sledgod and, counting every ounce, it was just 'possible to carry enough for a few men, to get to the Pole itself. The plan, therefore, was to organize sev- eral advance parties' who would break trail, deposit food supplies and build igloos for shelter. Then a picked group would follow their prepared trail at top speed, with no heavy bur - 'dens, to.witlhin 150 mines of the Pole. There the last supply party would turn' buck, while the fresh, picked group would make a lightning dash to the Pole, having to get back before spring tides broke up ttie roe, It was a race against time, weather, water and deatfh, (Continued on Page 3) t'r stir' r Ij�Mt1 A Fact A 'Week About Canada "(From the Demi ,Lon Bureau of Statt`tks) WATERFOWL OUTLOOK BRIGHTER For the first time in tea years, the waterfowl outlook in Oanad'a shows imparovenvent, according to a recent survey conducted by the Chief Fed- ' eral. Migratory Bird Officers of the Depar'tmen't' of Mines and Resources. With the exception of tthe southern parts of the Prairie Pnevinces, ,the waterfowl of Canada experienced) a good year in 1938. Waterfowl in. British Columbia.,, showed a general improvement over 1937. Irrl the Dry Belt water condi- tions were better than anticipated_ This improved con'diti'on was' particu- larly noticeable in the Okanagan and. Nicola, districts where a number of ponds contained water for the first. time in many pears. Young dudes of all 'species appeared to be above nor- mal in percentage of survival. As••a, whole • conditions in the Prairie Provinces cantinu.ed good for waterfowl, but indications are that the drought cycle is at L'as't broken and a brighter future for the water- fowl in this important duck n,estin..; area is anticipated, Water restore tion work under the authority of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act and by private interests has undoubtedly unproved nesting conditions and w'i11 continue to exert an, increasingly b•err- efic'ial effect as these efforts are ex- tended. In Ontario and Quebec a 'general- incr'eas'e in the number of ducks wa:r reported. This was particularly no- ticeable in Black Ducles and Bluer winged Teal, and there were also some gains iu the numbers of Mal- lards, Scaup, Redheads and Canvas- backs. 'Wood Ducks appeared more num'erou's in some areas commonly frequenter) by them.. The improve- ment is generally attributed to, a fav- orable nesting season, a good supply Of food, tire prohibition of baiting. and the use of live decoys, later op- ening of the hunting season, good ob- servance and 'enforcement of law. . and the short hunting' season and other restrictions in the Cnited States. In the Maritime Provinces the duck population showed a definite 1ucrease. Black ducks were reported more num- erous than for yeas' throughout the Maritimes, and Pintails were fairly, common in sections of Nova Scotia. with every indication that they were. reared locally. Blue winged TeaT have unques•tioonably shown a mar'ked. increase throughout the Maritime Provinces in recent years, while the - Canada Geese showed up favorably in comparison with 1936 and 1937.
