We learn that at first His Royal High- ness was not very sure of his power to inanipuate the chanter, but some- how his curious little royal nieces, I'rinces^es Elizabeth and Margaret wormed themselves into a "practice," and they, as might be expected, "let the cat out of the bag," to their great delight wnd the amusement of court ci'clos. • • • F00LIN6 WITH GUNS This Saturday afternoon the annual meeting of the East Grey Agricul- tural Society is to be held in Flesher eon to re-organize for this year. Last year the fair was dropped for several reasons and there are many who de- plored discontinuance of the exhibi- tion. It is to be hoped that the new- ly formed Board of Trade will take action along this line amd try to make a success of the fair, which is an asset for any town to have. Aside from the advantage to the town is that ol the farmer who has grain, garden and farm produce and farm stock avail- able for exhibition purposes to brimg the resources of their particular dis- trict before the people. In the past the fair has sponsored field crop com- petitions in an effort to improve the quality of grain, which was, in many instances, shown at the fall fair. All of the Canadian winners have at one time shown at the fall exhibitions of their locality and then attempted to improve the strain to be shown at larger fairs. There is always plenty of room for improvement in the grain crops, but the winners of champion- ships have been rewarded for the long hours spent in seed selection. They have all started with the small fait which is the reason why we think that the small fair should not go out of existence. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance of mem- bers of the fair, farmers of the dis- trict and village busimess men to re- vive the East Grey fair and once again establish it as one of the best fairs of Grey County. BARNACLES All newspapers are handicapped with a few subscribers who are class- ed as dead beats by the publishers. Por instance there are subscribers (?) who will take the paper as long as the publisher will send it to him. When pressed too hard for payment he will brazenly announce that he does not want the paper any longer and refuses payment without advanc- ing any excuse. We have a list of six of those dead beats, but think we have our lists pretty well cleared up of these barnacles. We have been scrubbing and scraping our hull late- ly. We aro thankful that they are so few, in number, and al.<so very thankful that so many of our valued subscribers have renewed promptly without waiting for u.s to send them a bill. The question of how to maintain peace throughout the world continues to exercise the nations. Almost every one is now agreed that war is over an evil, that once entered on and whether or not fought to a finish, the winner, as well as the loser, is bound to suffer. But how easily in the past have rival nations drifted into a conflict of arms. Then it has been "My cCuntry, right or wrong." Nel.son, Britain's national hero, ad- dressing the House of Lords on Nov- ember 16, 1802, declared: "I, my Lords, in different countries have seen much of the miseries of war. I am therefore in my inmost soul a man of peace. Yet I would not for the sake jf any peace, however fortunate, consent to sacrifice one jot of Eng- land's honor." When angry nations! face one another in battle array pastl^ history has shown how free the translation of "honor" has been. Better far to devise means for the peaceful settlement of international disputes. * • • The resolution of growers of fruit in this province to make war on the starlings will be commended by very many producers throughout the coun- try. We were accustomed to believe that the robin and the pesky sparrow were unwelcome aind destructive ap- propriators of fruits and vegetables, but the starling takes first rank in causing heavy loss to the growers. In one district, last summer, a grower had twenty-seven trees loaded with sweet cherries on a Friday, but they were a little too green for picking. Returning on Monday to pick the fruit, he found the starlings had beat- en him to the orcliard and not a cherry was left. This experience is typical of the ravages of these pests. They must be combatted with vigor, if their ravages are to be stopped. One of the most dangerous weapons that a person can handle is a gun that is not loaded. Last week the news- papers recorded an accident that â- showed the folly of carelessly handling a firearm that was supposed to be unloaded. A boy was busy in his home polishing up his rifle, when his mother, in a joke, held up her hand and asked her son if he could hit it He acceded to his mother's request and she is now nursing a hand, through which a bullet passed, break- ing one of the bones. Neither ol the!':i knew that the gun was loaded. The lesson is obvious. Do not leave any weapons around th« house unless you are positive they are not loaded, unless you expect that burglarg will make a call. Never point a gun whether loaded or not, at yourself or any other iperson, unless it b« a robber. Never fool with a gun, or allow any one else to do so. t.4«««^M&.fr«««4MM>«««»<>.>« !f<b^>>(f>lf^<^><f<f^^><f4f<,<f<f<f<f<r4f<f^<f<f<r<t<><t<^^ EDITORIAL NOTES Several Jewisih merchants in Walk- erton have been force<l to close their doors during the past week. It is a coiincident that the German element to a large extent comprise the popu- lation of the Bruce County town. Is Hitler's anti-Jewish program reach- ing out to include WalktM-ton? * * • Walter Lippnian, the author, warns us not to be dazzle<l with the glitter of gold. We have no misgivings on this score. There has been no gold around here since the depression be- gan, but, bless you, we will be glad to receive payment of all accounts due us in good Canadian bills â€" ye.s, in silver coinage of the realm, if more convenient. * * * A college professor of economics in the United States argues that if the present trend of depopulation in that country continues, by 1!)70 there will be no children at all! The.sc gloomy prognosticators are always trying to scare the populace. So long as the human race is constituted as it is, there will always be a substantia! portion of the race ready and willing '« obey the injunction to be "fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." Just now, the fearful ones are fearful that too few children will be produced. A comparatively short time since, MalthUB was alarming Britain with his Btatiatics int«nded to show that the Motherland was producing popu- latioqi at such a rat* that starvation was practically imminent as the popu- lation was fast reaching the time wttien the food supply would be alto- gether inadequate. At that time the population was about ten millions; now it is over four times as great And .â- rtill the race remains virile and manages to progress even in these after-great-war days, with Ihcii resultant evil results. * * * (What a versatile iliap the Prince of Wales is.

P. Crossley, and brother Jack. Cecil is employed as a telegraph operator by the Can- adian National Railway, but is off work at the present. During the past summer he was stationed at Churchill, the new Canadian port on Hudson Bay, which is only commenc- ing to receive the recognition it de- serves. Thirteen freighters visited the port during the past year, bring- ing cargoes and departing with grain and a trial shipment of cattle. Cecil says that the country around Church- ill is very uninviting, consisting mostly of muskeg which stretches for scores of miles. At one time during his stay there ho saw a migra- tion of caribou that ^vould numbei close to five thousand head, he fig- ured. He also saw a fine large polar bear skin that had been shot on an ice flow and which woula weigh clo.so of 1400 pounds. The winters aro so severe that very ftfw people remain, only those who opt rale the power house, the mission- aries, station agent and a few trapp- ers. He also informs us that there is a heavy snowfall during the wintei and drifts twenty feet high wore piled in front of tbo station last winter. Cecil is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Claims of Wadena, Sask., and has been with the Canadian National Rail way eight years, joining the Company when 16 years old. He has develop- ed into a fast operator, taking after his father who was considered one of the best. We were pleased to see Cecil again and wish him the best ot success. HAY MARKETING Hay marketing in Western Ontario was very quiet in December but much improvement in the situation is ex- pected before spring. The principal movement this season has been by motor truck to the larger centres such as Toronto and gradually tha hay supply within trucking distance ot these centres is being reduced. Nearly •11 the lecond-cut alfalfa has already been marketed for alfalfa me«l manu- facturing purposes and the first cut is now being sold rapidly for the same purpose. A shortage of hay and also of feed grain is expected in West- ern Ontario before spring if the ex- treme winter weather continues. Current prices being paid growers are: for No. 2 timothy $5.50 to f6 per ton; mixed hay $4.50 to $5.25; alfalfa 2nd cut $0 to $10, 1st cut $7 to $8; oat straw ST to $3.50 nnd Vhea' Ur,w $r!.25 to $3.75 ptr ton.
