About Patronage
The bestowal of government fav-
ors in the form of government
patronage on government stalwarts •
and followers, is a practise as old as
the ages, hence it is not a practise
that has been exclusively followed
by any one pplitical party, either in
Canada or elsewhere.
The practise, old. as it is, however,
has always been a trouble maker and
a disturber of the peace, although
each government, as it came into
power, followed precisely the meth-
ods adopted by its predecessor. It
seems that when it comes to a ques-
tion of patronage, the ins are al-
ways sinners and the outs are al-
ways saints.
And the patronage question is
causing a disturbance in political cir-
cles right now. Last week Dr. Man-
ion;t'Leader of the Conservative Op-
position, in a public statement, ac-
cused the King Government of polit-
ical favoritism in awarding govern-
ment contracts. According to letters
received by him from his own politi-
cal followers, no person or firm• with
Conservative leanings, had been able
to secure a government contract, be-
cause no person or firm without the
necessary Liberal leanings, was be-
ing recognized.
On the other hand, Premier King
replied that he is being flooded daily
with letters fro his own supporters
complaining, and bitterly too,, that
the government is not recognizing
its, own followers in the matter of
contracts, but is awarding them all
to followers of the Conservative;
party.
We rather believe and certainly
hope that the complaints of both
these political partisans are justified.
Because if they are it goes to show
rather plainly that no powerful polit-
ical favorites on either sides of the
fence are dictating the spending pol-
icy of the Government, but that the
few contracts that have already
been let by the Government depart-
ments have been let on the merits of
the contracts themselves and not
through the powerful political pull
of would- be contractors on either or
both sides of politics.
We hope, however, that Dr. Man-
ion will continue his protests on the
contract question, because Premier
King has announced that he will
give full investigation, on the floor
of the House, of every specific
f charge of patronage in the letting of
Government contracts That is the,
place, and the only place, where the
people of the country can sit on the
jury and render the verdict.
Knowing these things, Premier
King is not only 'too Ioyal a Cana-
dian, but too astute a politician to
let patronage in his own or any
other government department, gain
the upper hand, or to even grow
careless in that respect.
1"heree.are- those, of course, you
�• see in this patronage question a.n ex-
cuse for a Union Government. But
we are not one of those.. Nor do ,we ,
believe that any one who has stti`idied
the patronage history of Union Gov-
ernment during the last war tend
to- that way of thinking either. In
theory, Union Government is •a
Utopia, but in practise it is Some-
thing else again. And very much so.
If Mr: Kings is wilIiing to accept the
respan ibility 'of government at this
time and Dr. Manion is ding to ac-
cept the responsibility of leading a
nstru t ire . sod ,loyal Opposition,

Quite True
The Peterboro Examiner says:
"One man stole a dozen shirts which
were displayed in front of a store in
Tillsonburg. The proper way to sell
+shirts is to keep them inside the
store and use the local newspaper to
tell folk about 'them."
That is the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing else but. But how few
merchants believe it, o�r will try it
out to test its truth.
How many merchants will go to
the trouble of carrying out goods to
the front of their stores to make a
display, and at the same time run
the risk of having some or all .stolen,
a happened the man in Tillsonburg.
And how many more will spend a
day or two a week in dressing a
store,window to draw the attention
of those passing by. That is busi-
ness, of course, and real business too.
But how many would spend a
quarter of that time in writing a
readable advertisement that would
be seen by twenty-five for every one
that actually passed the store win-
dow, and studied by fifty to one who
stopped to study the store window.
And how many more would come
into a town when invited by real ad-
vertisements to do so, instead of
leaving it to chance that some day
some one will' see a store front or a
store window.
Of course all merchants are not 'of
the Tillsonburg kind, but if you count
them up, you will find there are
quite a few. And there are quite a
few more who are willing to let the
other fellow do the advertising, and
then wonder why the other fellow's
store draws more people than theirs
do.
No merchant and no merchant's
store is so well known that he can
rely on window dressing alone.
Eaton and Simpson are household
words across Canada, still Eaton's
and Simpson's do more advertising
than all the country merchants put
together. Why?
Well, that is the way these firms
became household names across Can-
ada. The way .they built up their
business, and the way they continue
to draw the bulk of their customers
from the country. In other words,
because it pays to advertise.

,inventions For Winter
The Americans are an inventive
people. There is no doubt about
that. Still more, they are, appar-
ently, seasonable inventors, as a list
of patents issued from the Patent
Office in Washington on November
second confirms.
And these are the inventions and
the inventors whose minds have
turned to the question of keeping
warm:
A bedclothes adjuster—a gadget
which promises to keep them
straight. It is the idea of Herman
B. James, of Los Angeles.
A coverlet with flaps—a device
which makes kicking the covers off
or losing them in the night impos-
sible. It was thought up by Eugene
R. Weisbender, of Manhattan, Kan-
sas.
An electric hotwater bottle heater
—eliminating the middle of the,,night
chill when " the hotwater bottle has
lost its warmth—patented °by Riley
Emery Larkey, of Kansas City, Mis-
souri.
We do not know if these patents
are on the market yet and ready for
winter use or not, but just in case,
we would remind you that we have
a Winter over here and a real one
too.
But heretofore we have followed a
very general plan to ensure more or
less warmth in the winter months
acid there is not patent on it either.
It consists of banking up the house ;
putting on the double windows and
doors; filling the coal bin full of coal
or the woodshed full of wood, and
then sitting back and waiting.
It is never a long wait. Not near-
ly as long as waiting for spring, but
we always seem to survive somehow,
and we guess we will again this win-
ter, even if we don't have any of
these .new American inventions for
to help keep us warm.

"BACK HOME"
It was really news for the neigh-
borhood wthen they 'heard that some-
one had bought the old Tillman place.
It's directly across, the road from our
farm, and it's been idle ever since
Tillman solid out and retired to the
village. The new owners turned out
to be a real estate firm, and evidently
their client went back onthem, so
that the farm has been idle for eight
years ;now.
Then during the summer we heard
that the farm had been sold and on
top of that came the announcement
that Harvey Barton' had bought' it.
Harvey was born and raised on this
•concession, but he was one of those
boys who received three years of high
•schooling and after topping it off with
a business course went to work in the
city. We never heard much of. him
after that except when we heard that
he was married and later that he was
the proud father of a baby boy.
He moved on to the Tillman place
this summer and it seemed that we
never did have much of a ehance to
realty get acquainted. Yesterday af-
ternoon it was drizzling a Iittle rain,
and I could see him working around
the barn so I strolled over for a chat.
He was busy making a storm door'
for the house, but desisted in. his lab-
ors to light up his pipe and sit down
ashen I called. I noticed how well
everything was looking, with new
boards fitted into the places where
th•e wind and weather had rigged the
old ones off and new window panes
in the stable . . . and all showing
the hand Of a careful and conscien-
tious farmer.
With curiosity getting the better of
me, I asked him, "Harvey, just why
did you leave a good jab in the city
to come back to hard work like this?"
"You mean," he laughed, ".why
didn't I leave it sooner?"
He seemed to be taking in the sur-
rounding as he relit his pipe, and
said: "Phil, I worked in the city for
about eight years. I made the aver-
age wages and d worked averagely
hard. It was a matter of getting to
wsarlq in the morning and going back
over the same old routine day after
day. In the summer time it was too
hot after work to sit out anywhere
and enjoy fresh air, 'because the air
was polluted with opal smoke and gas
fumes anyhow. In the winter time I
'generally had to work after supper,
by the time I came home I was too
tired to have any enjoyment anyhow.
When holidays came around I never
did have enough money for a good
-holiday anyhow. I worked' from day
to day because you never knew when
an employee was going to be let out.
I'd wake up in the middle of the
night in a cold sweat in the fear that
perhaps I'd make a mistake on some
figures, and 'if the supervisor found it
—bank went my job. I traded that
for this!" -
He didn't have to tell me what he
had traded for it, because 1 knew. A
farm of this own with a mortgage to
pay off, but by dint of work in an
average way that could be paid. off.
Never a great deal of money, but al-
ways plenty of good, things to eat.
A comfortable home and always fuel
for a cosy fire' if he laid in a wood
supply. No supervisor to pounce on
his head for a mistake , . only
himself to please, and the • .bility to
make a mistake and correct it. Time
to meet the neighbors and make
friends and know that any time he is
!hard put, they'll always be willing to
help. The pleasure of watching good
stock ,grow fat and grain growing on
his own fields , . . and a boy of
his growing .up to be a useful citizen
and not the little "toughy" of the
street. Here he has the chance to
tthink for himself and work for him-
self . do a little complaining
when he feels like .' . , a little boast-
ing when everything goes well , . -
and, above all, the chance to be a
good farmer.

The Memory of
• Laurier
(By R. J. Deachman, M.P., in The
Toronto Daily Star)
•
•
•
Life must have offered one of its
most thrilling moments to Rt, Hon.
W. L. Mackenzie King as he listened
to the news front the Quebec front
on Wednesday evening- The provin-
cial campaign carried with it endless
possibilities of evil. The welding of
two separate races into one homo-
geneous nation is a task which tests
the hearts and minds of the strong-
est. There is much to keep them
apart. There is th•e conflict between
the old and the new. The old must
be retained while the new ,is permit-
ted to grow. No man should be ask-
ed to forget the race from which he
has sprung. These memorieia must
be permitted to enrich the treasure
houses of our lives. Yet retaining
these we build the spirit of the new,
the firer attachment to tie nation
which is our very own. We of Angio -
Saxon race 'shave something to con-
tribute to our fellow Canadians of
French extraction—but •we must not
forget that they too have a contribu-
tion, and we must make it ours, The
association of the two races inthe
cominuon task teaches us tolerance
and magnanimity of mind and spirit,
and where are these 'human qualities
more grandly needed than in the
world of today!
The work of unity was the task of
L wrier.. His memory was the brood -
in spirit which spoke from one end
of Quebec to the other on Wednes-
day. The work has been carried on
by Mr. King, with the brilliant assist-
ance of his co-partners in the prov-
ince of Quebec. The prime minister
has been stinguiarly fortunate. Hein-
herits from his grandfather the broad-
est conceptions of political freedom.
He has• taken a leading part in the
political evolution of the nation. He
worked under Laurier, the, greatest of
Canadians, who moulded the lives of
those with whom he came in'contact
by .the beauty of his character and
his lofty sincerity of purpose. No
other ,English-speaking Canadian: ev-
er senlsed more keenly than did Mr.
King the •nuances of tone and shade
and color wihioh give to our feilow
Carradians of French extraction a
slightly different approach to public
questions. But Mr. King, like ,Laur-
ier, recognizled the possibility of
strength and unity in diversity. It
is the way of nature. The shades of
autumn can never be presented in
one unvarying color, nor can a virile
race of men be fashioned to a • single
mould. Germany ha® attemptedi it.
She cannot succeed -neither could
Canada.
Newer has a Canadian prime min-
ister faced a greater task than that
which presented itself to Mr. King
during the last few years. He seem-
ed Conscious, always, of the shadow
of things^vto come. Others thought
that the World could not gor mad—
they hoped against hope that a ndr-
aclee would happen, If Mr. King ev-
er held dreams of a peaceful solu-
tion, they passed quickly—from time
to time the skies darkened. Often
when other problems arose, he turn-
ed to the thing which was uppermost
in his mind and spoke of the possi-
bility of all other issues being swept
aside in the cataclysm of destructive
war.
But this is a peaceful nation. No
one wanted war. Few, very few even
wanted to prepare for war. We had
missed through a depression. The
skies brightened in 1937—we caught
the vision of better days ahead. By
1938 the war of nerves was on—it
slowed the tempo of recovery.
Through all this period from 1935 to
the outbreak of the war the policy
of the government had been to
strengthen the inner defences of the
nation, to prepare for what actually
came:
It is easy to seek the solution of
a problem by beating the drums of
popular opinion and trying to justify
conduct by references only to the vis-
ible and external. We know that the
technique of war has changed, but
we fail to recognize that new meth-
ods must be applied to the prepara-
tion for war. This is a war of money
—and anoney means economic power,
and in .the end strength comes not
from a display of arms, necessary as
that may be, but from the capacity
of the nation to produce and deliver.
For that reason the task of the last
few years has been one of economic
rearmta.ment. The expansion of our
trade, the extensic. of our banking
facilities—these t. .gs do not sound
like preparations for war, but they
make for the enhancement of strik-
ing power when the time came to use
our facilities for war rather than
peaoe.
But through it all the nation began
to re -arm. It was Mow at' first be
cause military expenditures . during
the depression had suck• almost to
the levet of pre -1913. days.. An army
thoroughly equipped cannot be built
overnight by scattering a handful of
dragon's teeth. The real tangibles
for a major conflict were national
unity and economic strength. There
were'` the things which had to be
strengthened. They are now a part
of the heritage of the nation. They
are things to which • every individual
has contributed. But in this day of
triumph, when we have strengthened
greatly our capacity for future effort,
we can affo`d to pay tribute to those
who have .been permitted to render
special service. The nation must
sense its gratitude to the unifying in-
fluence of the memory of Sir Wilfrid'
Laurier, the statesmanship of 13t.
Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King, and the
sound common sense' which, on Wed-.
nesday last, 'guided the decision of
the people of the province of Quebec"

West Has Good Year
Mountainside, Man„ Nov. 1, 19391'
The Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir; A beautiful autumn day
has drawn to a close and the woods
are beginning to• change from their
dark green to deep gold. In a short
time these leaves will join "October's
party" in a merry dance and scatter
over the ground, leaving the trees in
chilly nakedness, There is not the•
variety of color in the autumn tints
here as in Ontario, where the leaves,
after changing color linger on the
trees for weeks in gorgeous beauty.
In comparing this Province, er the
thirele 1Middlie West Provinces with:
the East, one thing is very notice-
able: the greater amount of sunshine-
here.
unshinehere. In fact we do not take, kindly
to cloudy skies, and people soon be-
gin to comtplain about the weather-
man if the sun hides himself' for a
few days.
This has been what is called "a
good year," this district being spec-
ially favored. But in some parts of
the province the returns from the
crops have been very unsatisfactory,
due to the uneven distribution of
moisture, and hoppers which thrive,
in dry areas.
The wheat on summer fallow in
Turtle Mt. yielded from 35 to 47 bush-
els to the acre, and coarse grain crops
were accordingly good. Thatcher
wheat, vvthich is rust resistant, was
mostly grown, and its milling quali-
ties are excellent.
A few years ago coyotes were so •
numerous that poultry yards suffer-
ed, but a campaign was waged
•againstArese sneaking marauders,
and n vtheir weird yapping howls
are rarely heard.
Jumping deer are quite numerous
and it is no uncommon sight to see
a group of them feeding in a field or
see them hurrying along the road ands
leaping gracefully over the fence as.
a .motor car approaohes.
Wild duck's, only a few years ago.
were very abundant; now few are
seen, and we miss their flight in the.
evenings as they returned to rest ea
the lakes and ponds. Various rea-
sons are given for their increasing.
scarcity. Ickes ' and smaller bodies -
of water have become dry. The -
sportsman's gun has decreased their
numbers, and disease is supposed toy
have come among the flocks.
Hungarian partridge have been in-
troduced and are very prolific, 15 tcx
18 frequently belonging to a family.
They seem to be quite hardy, where-
as the beautiful pheasants, also new-
comers here, find it somewhat diffi-
cult to withstand the rigors of our
winters unless feed is put out for
them. Last winter a dozen or more -
prairie chickens came into our yard
every day to pick up some grain
scattered along the path, but even
though they came right up to the door
we found it impossible to get a snap-
shot of them. as at the slightest
sound they all scattered in flight.
Ort, Saturday evening we were 1
Boissevain, and the many fine motor
cars parked along the streets and:
the crowds of peoplo parading tlee
sidewalks, shopping in the stores, or
coming to or from the .movie, indi-
cated that a fair degree of prosperity
had returned.
But even with good crops and faire
prices, it is a question if the money
received will be used to lighten the-
mortgages-on
hemortgages-on many of the farms, for
many farms are burdened and have -
been since,the days of mistakerr
easy credit. Even the high prices:
for good crops at the end of the
Work War did not in many cases
help matters. Lt seemed easier to
buy new motor cars and this tempta-
tion is too strong to be resisted. Soy
this tory repeats itself:
Nowhere in Canada was greater en-
thusiasm shown over the visit of our
King and Queen, and their short vis-
it in Brandon was a special delight
to the many school children who had:
gathered from far and near for the -
occasion, and didn't they cheer!
