ES THE -rOKK n.VUREI/' KICKS Only a few year.s ai^o the public i tonsideriHl any thought of turn-, ing over the Canadian National Rail- 1 way to the C.P K. as a traitorous con-, spiracy. Since the speech of Pres- ident Beatty of the C.P.R. in Toronto, many new-spapers over the entire Do-! minion have been in favor of some amalgamation with the railway of private ownership. No thought has f>een given to llie large bond i.ssues on whi:h million."? of interest is being paid by the government of Canada ea.h year and which is a millstone about the neck of the Canadian Na- tional. No railway .-ihareholders would desire to be loaded with this indebtedness and it appears as though they would expect the government to continue paying the interest charg- es. It is not so sweet from the viewpoint of the public who pay. Suggestions have been made for the government to repudiate the or- iginal Canadian National bond issues up to the time the road was taken over to be operated under public own- ership. This would be a drastic step but we believe that this is the only course to take. It would, no doubt, be an unpopular step for the inves- tors, but the public is tired of being a "pork barrel" for misguided capit- alists, like those who constructed the railways prior to the amalgamation of the Canadian National. The in- vestors would lose, but the Canadian public would gain, and the present is the time to put it across. WHO ARE THE ( UAZY PEOPLE? A philo-sopher, in chatting the other. day, advanced the idea on the subject' of mentality â€" one which, of course,' will not be accepted by the reading public in general. Yet if we pause and think over the reasons for his findings it may be that wo will not persist too strongly that we aro righ; and he is wrong. Recent aclivitie:- of governments and institutions would tend to confirm his theory, which is simply this: He believes that the wrong men are incarcerated in our mental institutions. We have thou.i- ands shut up in mental infirmaries, .»^imply because we think them crazy. -Just because we are in the majority is no actual proof that we, ourselves, are not off our mental balance. There have been many instances in history where minoritic; haVe proven them- sch'es to be correct and justified them- selve.s. No doubt if a vote of the in- mates of our mental hospitals were taken it would be found that a vast majority would be in favor of incar- cerating you and me and letting them go free to look after the affairs of the world. In many in-stances they might be quite as competent as some of those now on the outside and aping to run the civil and religious cffnir.-! of to-day. We do not care to point too definitely to sperific casc-3, as in that event the writer might be invited to join the minority in durance vile. Think it ah' out for yourself. The village of Dundalk ha.^ cut ah municipal salaries by fifteen per cent. Flesherton is fortunate in not having to reduce salaries of their officers, because, if it were done, the remuneration for their servi.-es would !)e .-^o small no person could be found to do the work. * • • The depression i-s, like the scabies, .•-triking in places where least expect- ed and least wanted. We have lecentiy noticed that many motor car.x are running with only one head- light. Presumably the owners are cutting down on their supply of light bulbs. * • • Editor Ross of the Winchester Press, who is also Reeve and a member of the County Council, has come in for censure by the council of the united counties of Dundas, Stormont and Glengarry for utteHances in his paper condemning the wa.?ting of time in discussion and non-attendance at ses- sions. The wasting of time is gen- eral in all county council's, but what loused the ire of the member.^ was Mr. Ross calling them thieves for tak- ing money they had not earned. The councils still go on, though, despite publicity as to their inactivities. * * * Hunters, according to law, cannot trespass on other people's land with- out consent of the party in question. whether signs are displayed or not. This question was brought to the fore- ! front ia-ii week when a farmer east of Toronto complained of jack rabbit hunters overrunning his property. While most farmers welcome the hunt- ers of these pests, this farmer re.^ent- ed the intrusion on his property. Signs are usually displayed forbidding trespassing, as a warnins:, and to pre- vent a misunderstanding. It is also compulsory to place signs on unfenced property to prohibit trespassing. Hog Quality Improves Hug grading statistics show an in- ci-ease of 41,751) select ba'.-oi) hogs ai produced in Canada in the yeui I'.i.'ll. Hogs as marketed through- out the Dominion showed considerable improvement over any previous year. Not only was there an increase in the number of select bacon hogs produc- ed, but there was in addition an in- crease in bacon ho.<<s and a I'owei percentage of butchers. The butcher grade, as graded, showed the refining influence of bacon breedin,!? in a larjce perentago of hogs. The average weijrht of all hoj-^.i was approximately four pounds heavier than the prev- ious year. The percentage of lights wa3 reduced from ('.42 per cent to .5.;il per cent. The percentage of heavies and extra heavies was only IJ.49 showing tiiat farmers are mark- eting the great majority of theii hogs within the de'sired weights. OFFERED COW IN PAYMENT FOR USE OF TELEPHONE The latest story of a barter deal of which we have heard came from a North Dorchester farmer, who offered the treasurer of the local telephone company the choice of two of his co\t«. for six months' telephone service. Ttie treasurer not wishing the job of look- ing after the cow, refused the offer. â€" .'Arthur Enterprise.

NO. 9, ARTE.mESIA TWO UNi'OPULAR .MOVEMENTS Two years ago the salavie.i of On- tario cabinet ministers were increas- ed, and now it is proposed to extend the term of offi;c to five years. Col. Price jays that Hon. G. Howard Fer- guson had forecast both these meas- ures during the 1!»21) election cam- paign. Prophesies like these are not pop- ular in this tax liurdened country and the prophet hath little honor in his own country. It was a poor time to make ar.other raid on the treasury. And the five year term is not a neces- «ity, because many a time, if the government thought it an ojtportune time, it has gone to the country after three years in office. Five years would only make it possible for the government in power to make a more rertain guess as to the psychological moment when an election would give them a new lease of power. By the way, why not make the job permanent with the option of appeal- ing to the country on defeat in the House or when it is desired to do so lor any good and sufficient n;ason? Salary grabs have been very un- popular during recent years, and any government h running a serious risk when it endeavors to once more make them popular. A RUINOUS MARKET It is a great incentive to farmers to raise hogs for the British market at the prices obtainable at preacnt. If it continue.! many of those farm- ing today will be on relief tomorrow.

Club Work Effective Five points which r'eivc special attention in connection with Boys' an;I Girls' .Swine Club work in the carrying out of which the federal and provincial Departments of Agri- culture co-operate, are detailed as fol.'ows:- 1. The lo:ation and distribution to club members of young pigs of good bacon type and breeding. Of these many of the best female;; are kept over for breeding purposes. 2. The giving of practical instruc- tio:i to club members at their homes :)r through lertures at club meetings. 3. The distribution of printed or mimengraphed information regard- ing the breeding, fccdin.g, manage- ment, judging and marketing of swine. 4. The arrangement and conduct of judg'/g and other forms of dem- onstrations. 5. The securing of good bacon type boars for club districts. Boarding House Lady: "There i.-j r. mouse in the pantry.

The same team trimmed Priceville 0-4 on the lattcr's link Saturday afternoon. The lads from the public school also won from Priceville .â- ?-2. At the carnival in Flesherton Monday evening Markdale senior.} tried conclusions with the Flosherton juniors and won 2-1 after a h'u-d-fought battle. At Thornbury Tuesday evening the Flesherton juniors lost to the jun- iors of that town 3-2 in an interest- ing game. Dundalk juniors came up Tuesday evening and played the "Wood Bees" here and the result was a tie .1-3, after ten minutes of overtime playing. The spectators present enjoyed the contest, which was quite a rugged af- fair, but with not much serious dam- age done. No Right To Trespass Provisions in the Ontario Game and Fisheries Act do not afford licen.ie tc n hunter or any other citizen to tras- pass upon the property of a farmer, nor does the statute interfere in any way with th» section of he criminal code which provides the right of a ro- perty-owner to eject a trespasser for- cibly or prevent him from forcibly en- tevirg th^ .grounds, ii was pointed out by Hon. Geo. II. Challies, minister of err..:ie and fisheries. Look around you and see what is happening. There are .^ome of your acquaintances who are suddenly strick- en with disease. They were well yesterday and are in bed today, an acute disease being responsible. Oth- ers are slowly and gradually failing in health. They are not well today and will not be well tomornw; an insidious disease is gaining a hoid. working silently until the human machine breaks. Because acute iliseases are severe and dramatic in their onset and ef- fects they are recognized and feared. Because chronic diseases are silent and slow, they are often not recog- nized, the gradual loss of health being accepted as a normal condition, and so they are not feared and are al- lowed to go untreated until they are well advanced. Most disease is insidious in its nature. Finally, it may appear as having been a sudden catasrophe, but this, in reality, is but the visible crash caused by an undermining of the foundations of health over a long period. The man who finds himself laid low by heart disease did not de- velop the heart condition during the last day, week or month; it had been progressing over a period of years. Heart disease, kidney disease, and disease of the arteries, these so-call- ed* degenerative diseases, which rep- resent the wearing-out of the organs of the body, are usually of a long drawn out nature. Prevention of the cari'y occurrence of degenerative dis- ease must begin back in childhood. It is during the early years of life that com.mmicable diseases, faulty diet and otiier bad habits of living mark the beginnings of a premature wearing out of the body machine. The periodic health examination has several objectives. Primarily, it aims to keep the well person well. If this aim is to be reached, it is necessary that any unsuspected dis- ease or normal condition of the body should be discovered. It may be possible to correct or im- prove such conditions if they do exist. It is pc-3sible, at least, by modifying the mode of living to prevent or check further developments, to postpone the wcaring-out process. Obviously, a wcaiconcd machine must bo used gently, and not be subjected to such jtrains as it is unable to withstand. The periodic health examination gives the opportunity for receiving instiuetions as to how the person ex- amined should live; that i.s, how to adjust his habits of life to the needs and capacity of his own body.
