On Monday next the Progressive party will nominate their candidate, who,' undoubtedly, will be Miss Macphail, who appears to be as popular as ever among the Progressives. And that is the way things stand this week. EDITORIAL NOTES in Ontario, Quebec and the North West give hope for the resurrection of general business. The pooling system in vogue amongst Western grain growers impedes for a time the flow of money into the hands of farmers, but merchants are of the opinion that the extended distribu- tion of monies will be more satisfac- tory as a support to general business throughout the year. The estimated crop is now placed at approximately , ;i75,000,000 bu.shels as against 262,- ,000,000 bushels in 1924. If these I figures are reliable it would mean 1 that farmers in that district would I have from this source alone about $145,000,000 greater return than they The Ontario Government proposes | did last year, to license all auto drivers in Ontario "«t J^""-- i MAXWELL I A bearded lady at the Canadian I ^1,5 Alice Long has returned home National Exhibition has three mar- f ,.om Brantford where she has spent riages to her credit.

Roy Sayles, former manag- er of the Canadian Weekly News- uapeis' Association, and therefore thoroughly ac«|UMinted with the week- ly nt^vspaper situation in Canada, says editorially in the columns of his newly-ac»juired . paper, the Renfrew Mercury: "F>erywhere there is a growing understanding among business men that the newspaper, while an indivi- dual business problem of some pub- lisher, is, at the same time, a com- munity proposition â€" a community as- set. The newspaper serves the com- munity more than it serves the man who publishes it. The time is com- ing when everywhere business men will feel a personal interest in the newpapers' welfare. The fact is, a community cannot make progress without it. It can exist, but it can- not grow. With this realization, there has al- AO come an understanding that one newspaper serves better than two or three. It has become a simple pro- blem of business mathematics to cen- tre the strength of a community be- hind the newspaper that has made it- self, through work and service, the strongest journalistic factor in com- munity development. So far as Canadian newspapers are concerned, there have gone out of business since 1914 fifty daily news- papers, while 224 weekly newspap- ers have suspended publication or ebiiebsnobrbbb Y,spl.v.sWf.l..ov been ab.sorbed by the other paper in the town. In some counties of On- tario, from four to eight weeklies have suspended publication. The announcement of newspaper consolidations will continue. The re- sult will be better and more outstand- ing weekly papers with improv.ed ser- vice to advertisers, subscribers and the community in general.

Reports from some districts thi.'^ year show a good deal of winter wheat and clover killed out, stat^ the Department of Chemistry, O.A.V. This i.H highly undesirable, and can be prevented by the use of lime and acid phosphate applied with the crop on whleh the elover is seeded. lu some cases lime Is not necessary, for the soil Is not acid; but v/here acidity occurs lime la very essential.
