We Have the Goods The flveyoar plan of national adver- tising which Is .shortly to be launched by 10,000 Canadian growers, In co- operatiou with Jobbor.i and shippers throughout the Dominion, will give, we think, a very real impetus to the fruit and vegetable Industry. Canada, whose products of the soil are unex- celled, for too long has been hiding her light under a bushel. There have been many striking illustrations of the power of publicity, expertly applied. The California growers, for Instance, have made this continent citrus-fnilt conscious. Much of the success of thoir publicity campaign has been due to the fact that new uses for oranges, lomuns and grapefruit have been de- veloped. Oranges, for a long time, â- were Just a luxury to be put in Willie's stocking at Christmas time, or taka In to a sick friend at the hospital. To- day oranges are an Important item of the dally diet.â€" Hamilton Spectator. Return to Horse and Buggy It Is an ill wind tliat blows nobody good.

As a conse- QUonco they are often badly treated Just because thoy have let life get a strangle hold on them rather than keeping the upper hand themselves. One of the most devastating moods that one nan Indulge in Is the mood 6t self-pity. Nobody loves a whinor. Complaints are often made that a man loses his friends when ho falls Into misfortunes. That Is a sad and often true commentary on the constancy of human affections. But the men who ar« most loud In this complaint fall to recognize that often they have not lost their friends, but that they have driven thnm away by thoir own com- plainingâ€" Halifax Chrinlcle EMPIRE Spending â-  Virtua "Increased Saving" from le.ssenod Incomes Involves a drastic cutting down of ordinary expenditure, which In the reverse of beneficial for the general community.

A Land of Cheerful Givers 1'hough we, maybe a liltio envious- ly, have sliown In earlier years a su« l>erlorlty over the land of dollar (bas- ing, wo must look to what was done with it. There Is no nation, not even our own, where the rich men «ie ho anxious to benefit not only the com- munity but humanity, fireat Americans reap distinction, not in conferred honours, but In conferring blessings, libraries, museums, public galleries, paying for sclentlllc expeditions, giv- ing millions to Rritain as well as to their own people tor research in high- lyequipped laboratories so disease may be banished. To endow a hos- pital provides a liner memory than to have a bronze monument. And the light of well-doing still shines. No; America has not lost Its soul. â€" Sir J. roster Fraser In the Sunday Graphic (London). Britain's Lead As a matter of fact, (Jreat Britain ever since the Armistice has been dis- arming on the most extensive scale. Other Powers have not .so far follow- ed her example. Figures given by the Italian representative, Signor Orandl, at Geneva, showed that between 1925 and 19.^0 the world's total expenditure on armaments rose by .£120,000,000, Willie British expenditure fell by £3,- 000,000. Can we go further In one- sided disarmament without risk of dis- aster â€" rx)ndon Dally Mail. Women in Public Life Women wlio have learned the busi- ness of managing the family life have a very great deal to teach to men. The trouble Is that these women are gen- erally too busy and too happy in the home to want to enter public life. The majority of those who do. It appears, bring little that Is new in practice to public affairs. For originality In itself is not the strong .suit of women. Thoy are changeable only in the sense tliat the multitude is changeable â€" In the mass. Fashion proves that. A man designs a hat or dress for one woman, and ton million wear It. Next week ho may design another model. If it looks right the ten million will wear that one.â€" London Dally Express. London's Population A (H>ntluiilng decline of population la the adminislrativB County of Lon- don, coupled with a largo net Increase In the whole of Greater London, is re- vealed In tho tables for the county wliich have been compiled from tlie 1931 census figures. The persons counted In tho city and the 28 metro- l>olilan boroughs numbered 4,397,003. Tlie decrease in tlio 10 years since the census of 1921 was S7,,'J20, a figure commensurate with the population of a good-sized town like Ipswich, New- imrt (Mon), or Wigan. In tho Greater London areaâ€" comprising tlio city and the Metropolitan Police districts, and Included roughly in a circle ot 15 iiilles radius round Cliaring Cross â€" .S,20;!,9>12 persons were enumerated. The increase here since 1921 was 723,- 741, a number comparable with the liopulation of Liverpool or Manche.s- ler. Expre.ssed as a percentage of tho 1921 population, llio increase in Great- er London amounted to 9.7 per cent. This Is three times as great an In- crease as occurred In tho previous 10 years, and nearly twice as great as the current increase for tho country as a whole.â€" London 1'iuios.

Can Canada hope to se^» the Maple Loaf held high amonif the emblems of fifty nations, when two thousand ath- letes meet in combat in Los AnReles for tho gamts of the Tenth Olympiad? asks Fred Beck in The Western Home Monthly- and an.swers in the follow- ing article: The answer is unquestionably and undeniably "YES!" Canada's repre- sentation at lo.s Angeles, July 30 to August 14. will be worthy of carrying tiie banner of the Dominion. Of the c.onpetition in on'i huidrcd and thirty-five fields of .sport Canada i.s represented in every major activity, sending teams of reasonable promise in both field and aquatic spor's. One of the high .spots ol' the sixteen days and nights of competition, an event which jierhaps holds as niuih world interest as any other incident of the crowded program, i.s a lacro.ise tournament in which Canada, Great Britain and the United States cum- P';Le. Interest is tho keenei because of a controversy which has been waged f.ince 1928. The world's champion.ship title is at .stake. Teams from the same thrw countries fought to what 'vas a<ljudgod a ti( at Amstar.lam. .A. Ji.spute, as friendly as it was .'•pirite 1, arose over the question of the title- each team claiming it. With the con- troversy still at whito-liot jiitch the United States proposed a play-otf on the spot. Canada enthusiastically ac- cepted but Great Britain was unable to accept the challenge and all three teams sailed homeward without an agreement having been reached. Such is one of the outstanding memories of the Ia.st Olympiad. Canada, with a team considered at least the equal of our 1928 lineup, has an excellent chance to win this important event. Because Canadian Olympic Try-outs will not be completed until what is virtually tlio eve of the impressive opening ceremonies it is impossible to go into, with utter accuracy, the ques- tion of tho iieisonalities that will compri.se the Canadian reiire.seiitation. No mention of t'anada's Olympic pi()S|>ects can l>e made without bring- ing to mind the name of Percy Wil- liams ot Vancouver. Williams .stepiied from the ranks of the uiinkown to beat the world's best sprinters at Amsterdam. lie won tlie hundred meters in 10.fi and the 2t>0 nicLers in 21.3. He has siiK'O set a world mark of 10.3 for the 100 meters. His aftei- Olympic appearances on United State's tracks netted liim a collection of start- ling wins and at a Vancouver track meet he beat Frank WyUolT and the great Eddie Tolan. And then these gonllemen both tiirned round to iiand the Vancouver lioy later defcaU. WillianiB carricn much Canadian h()|)o with him to Ia>a Angeles, and yet, lie is now suffering a strained leg niuiscle. He meets not only world- famous [K-rforniers like Wykolt' and Tolan, but a bespectacled young Cali- fornian, Bon Eastman. That perhaps is a new name for most of us. Ben Eastm.sn. In train- ing this Stanford University student has lieen breakinif world marks with carefrt^ ea.se. Ho runs the quarter- mile in 47.1. He is to be heard fiom at the Tenth Olympiad. And aside from Percy Williams? Well, Canada can point with pride to Johnny Fitzpatrick, I^eigh Miller and Bert Pear.son, all first string sprinters and certain starters at I/w Angeles whore they will meet the world's fast- est humans. As to the 200 meters, there's Ralph Adams and Fitzpatrick again. Jimm.v Ball, Winipeg's ace 400-meter man who finished se<;ond at Amsterdam is improving fast and the Ix)s Angeles track is due to prove more to his lik- ing than that of 192.S. The Manitoba winter .somewhat handicapped Ba'l, having delayed his outdoor training too long. But Dean Cromwell, Olym- pic coach at Los Angeles, points to Ball a.s competition to be reckoned with. Wil.son should also figure in the 800- meter line-up where his Canadian running mates should include Phil Edwards, Fred Shaver and very likely Brant Little. So much for the middle distance,' where Canada meets opposition that has turned in some startling times in training. At the longer distanc's things seem to be prett.v much of a toss-uj) with Canada standing as good a chance as any in the 1500 meters with a team on which we can count on finding Eddie King, Jack Walker, Earl Moor and Earl Mcjiahon â€" all notable gallopers at this distance. Their inair competition will be from the United States aithojgh recent Helsingfors timings indicate strength on the Fin- nish team and rumor has it that Japan is apt to provide upsets in any or al' of llie distance events. Canadians can look back with pride and regret to the Amsterdam mara- thon and the i)erforniance of CanadiaTi Clifi' Bricker. This Canadian burned down the gruelling course leading an imposing field at twenty-one miles. Twenty-one searing miles, and then his ftH't gave out. Bricker was in excel- lent condition save for those fatal "dogs." He could have gone on to win â€" and at Ix)s Angeles he will go on â€" and to win, we hope. And then there's Hank Cieman â€" a fighter who is as likely as any to bring Canada a fir.st place in the .OO - 000 meter walk. Hank sot a world re.'ord of 4.47, and one of his strong- est comi)etitors will be John Mahan, another Canuck. As to the pole va ilt, we Unik to tho (Myiii|)ic favorites an<l find such names ;'..s Kiuvjs of CzcH'ho-Slovakia with lo ft. 2 in. to his credit; Castro of Bra- zil with 1,'! ft. (5 in.; Bill Graber and Ted Lee, Americans; Nakazawa of Japan and his teammate the sensa- tional Nishida who has soared 13 ft. 7 '/a in.
