THURSTON, Associate Editor EDITORIAL NOTES Monday, October 12, has been set BJiide by the Dominion Government as Thanksgiving Day. * * • Monday morning dailies were load- ed with sorrowing accounts of week end motor and drowning accidents throughout Ontario. Many of these accidents could be averted if the vic- tims had adhered to the ordinary rules of safety. The mounting toll of fatal accidents does not seem to bring home any lesson to us, and "take a chance" seems to be the rule, rather than the exception. * • • Quebec electors last week turned "thumbs down" on the Liberal regime after having held office for 40 years and substituted a government elected with 76 out of yo seats, oL united Liberal and Conservative forces. Cor- rupt administration by any govern- .ment will always bring the wrath of the people on it.s head. In too many cases, howfvcT, those who have filled their pockets from the public purse have escaped from ju.stice with their ill-gotten gains. * • * Due to the prolonged drought era this year the stream.s in this district are very low and in one case a small creek is practically dry. P'ach year sees less and less water flowing down the water courses and this condition is due, to a groat extent, in the policy of the farmer.s to reclaim their swamp land by cutting all timber and there- by drying up the source of supply for springs. A policy of reforestration of rough and swampy land is needed to ensure the coming generations a continuation of water supplies. It takes a score or more years for a timber limit to produce and many people want to see the results of their work in their own lifetime. It takes a man with a long vision to plant an area which he will possibly never see productive of timber and fuel, yet, from a purely selfish stand- point, it should be clear that a farm •with some acres of growing trees is more valuable than one where the bu.-^hlot is denuded or non-existant.

Danish People (Continued From Page 1 ) vesting. In one 6f the lobbies many Danish sayings are in.scribed and il- lustrated; one meaning "I feel on top of the world" pictured a cat flitting on a ham, their equivalent saying be- ing "I feel like a cat on top of the pork." Our first stop in Sweden was at Gottenborg, the cihef port on the West side of Sweden. The original city was much influenced by the Dutch settlers and traders, whose mark is left in the fine massive type of build- ing, tree lined, wide streets and many parks. Recently new buildings have been erected, a fine museum, state theatre and concert hall, all very mod- ern in style, but so grouped that they fit harmoniously into the old city. By watching the crowds of people on the streets we were soon aware that the Swedes are more formal than the Danes and that their country ha-^ more natural wealth. The people are much better dressed but more re- strained in manner, answering court- eously any questions asked, but with the directness and brevity of the Scots. Automobiles were much more TORONTO LINE NORTH (Last week's Items) .Mrs. Gerald Morgan of Moorefield spent a week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. I^ever.

Saturday night there was a high wind and a heavy rainfall, just coming in time to pre- vent much damage being done with swamp fires, which were raging last week all round here. Men in Ware- ham district bad been fighting fires nearly all week and they were getting beyond control. The rain would help the potato crop, also the gardens. Mrs. Wm. Little is visiting with her sister, Mrs. Jack Hockley, Markdale. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mariihall of To- ronto spent a few days last week with the latter's sister, Mrs. Wm. Little, and family.

Europeans eat out of doors a great deal in the summer time and their a- miij^ement in the evening is to go to one of the fine gardens where they hear good music while they walk a- l>out admiring the flowers, or sit at tables having their after-dinner coffee or tea. We found it a pleasant cus- tom which we hope will spread to the North American continent. Unfor- tunately for visitors the theatres, operas and music halls are closed in summer, due to the migration of the people to the country. As one guide said, "Only the tourists and a few yuides are left in Scandinavian cities in the summer." The Swedish countryside is moun- tainous and wooded, with small pat- ches of tillable land, but the crops were better in Denmark. The har- vesting has been made difficult in both places, however, by the wet weather; or possibly it is always wet in harvest time and this accounts for the elaborate methods used for drying the hay and grain. One often reads of hayricks, which turn out to be a .-'ort of clothes line arrangement. From four to seven tall poles are driven into the ground and between these Jteveral strands of wire are strung. The hay is forked onto the wires where it is left to hang. A train journey of approximately three hundred miles brought us to .Sloekholm. Which is built on 14 is- lands anrl is called "the city of shini- merinu- water." Here we spent a most <'njoyable week. The fact that the islands are mostly solid rock and that they are connected by innumerable bridges^ makes rents high and has le<i to extensive housing projects by the municipality and the state. In every other regard, however, the cost of living is low. and one can live much moie cheaply in Sweden. Hen- mark and England than in Canada. It is true fruits and vegetables are ex- pensive, but the diet is restricted to meat, fish, cheese and breads, with i|uantities of beer. The lack of sweets and desserts was so noticeable to p<'ople accustomed to Canadian food lliat we found ourselvus supplement- ing the really excellent meals by chocolate bars and the delectable pas- tries which we saw in the shops but never on the taWe. }n the week we "did" the city thoroughly. We visited art galler- ies and museums, churches which are aiij)nrently built for beauty rather than use, gre^it co-operative whole- sales and factories, co-op. retail shops iitid department stort>s, adult cdu. calional centres run by the co-opw- ative a4id in vain hunted for places of anuiisdinent in the ovenit>g. On the last day, a Sunday, we vis- ited the unique park covering about a hundred acres, known as Scansea. Here are collected six^cimens of old hou.ses of many periods, complete with their furniture, hand woven hangings, platters of wood, pewter or china, ac- cording to their age, and the many little things that were commonly used about the house. There were also two old churches, and we were inter- ested in a section devote^ to buildings from Lapland and a small herd of reindeer which were not happy in their unusual surroundings. On the day wo were at Scansen a folk danc- ing festival was being held, and we saw many young men and women in costumes of the country doing repres entative dances from all parts of Sweden on the greens. They made a pretty picture for the orowds who drank tea and watched them â€" but more ngain. Sincerely, AONES MACI'HAIL. Helsingfors (Helsinki), Finland, Aug. R, inSR. er, .Mrs. M. Little. Mrs. Walter Taylor and son, Edgar, of Toronto spent the week end at the home of W. Taylor. Mr. Lloyd and Joe Little, accom- panied Mr. .Arthur Chard and Elmer .Taniieson to Wasaga Beach on Sun- day. PROTON STATION On the occasion of the Diamond Wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Acheson, on Sunday, August 23, relatives and friends from Proton called to pay their respects to the hospitable old couple who received hosts of friends during the day and evening. We wish them peace and happiness not only for the remainder of life's journey, but on through the "Great Forever." Miss Edith Consley has returned home after visiting for several weeks with her sisters in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. MacLean have returned from their holiday up North and they with Mr. and Mrs. L. E Nichols of St. Thomas spent the week ei'.d at Proton Station. .Mr. Charle Pla.skett of Toronto vis- ited recently at the home of Rev. N. B. Jackson. An interesting wedding was solem- nized in the Holiness Chapel by Rev. Herb Shaw on Friday. August 21st. The jiarticipants being Mr. John Owl from Spanish River Reserve and Miss Lena Nashkewa of Chippewa Hill, Saugeen Reserve. Mr. and Mrs. Owl after visiting a few days with Mr. and Mis. Shaw will return to liva at Spanish River. Mr. Charles Lyons and family at- tended a Lyons re-union at Eugenia on August 23rd. .Anniversary services will be hel<l in KiiDX Church Proton Station on Sep- tember 20th at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. Recent visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Wyville were .Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wyville, Messrs Bennett Bros, and Mrs. Bennett of Cleveland, Ohio. Guests at the home of Postmaster McCannel were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Runciman, Miss Mary Runciman and Miss Dorothy McDonald of Toronto. Misses Hilda Sims and Zella Lyons are visiting in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. R. Bradley of Berk- eley visited at Dever Bros, on Sunday. Miss Winnie Awde is holidaying Yes, we got rain in abundance â€" first on Friday morning, a gentle yet lengthy shower, thoroughly watering all outside, then again on Sunday, early morning, a great electric storm, accompanied strong wind and heavy rain. To the west of us, around Boothville, fences were badly blown down as was uncut grain, and some fruit trees uprooted. All were pleas- ed with the rain. This Monday morn- ing we can see work ahead as lawn mowers have not been used for about six weeks, but will again be needed in a few days. We predict an a- bundance of fall pasture for stock to help out the shortage in straw and grain. Fires in Proton are well under con- trol, which one wreek ago were causing much anxiety, on the 6th and 8th con- cessions. Much timber land was burned over. This Monday morning four air- planes, close together, passed over the Park, going in a south-east di- rection; -we suppose to the C. N. E. Mr. Garfield Anthony of Toronto spent the week end at George Haines'. Mrs. Anthony and children, who have spent a month's holiday with parents and friends, returned to the city. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. McLeod of Lambton Mills are spending a few days with their parents here before the opening of the school next week. Young People's meeting in the church this Monday night, at which Mr. H. D. Tressider, of Toronto will give an address. We were pleased to meet Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Richardson of Markdale, and Mrs. Knox of Ceylon, at church in the Park on Sunday, also Mrs. Annie Wilson of Nottawa, who is visiting her man friends of the Wilson con- nection here. We hear that Jack Haw's barn was struck by lightning on Friday morn- ing, but not severely damaged, their lighting system and telephone were put out of business until repairs can be made. Last week at the old school pump one v.ould meet at all hours, men, women or children drawing water as cisterns were all dry and wells very low. Wm. Flood would be first then Hugh McMillan and Walter Knox, then the ladies from all the houses, later Milford Corbett with horse and buggy and several milk cans, and just at dark, Delbert Haw with his car would come and get a supply, but that is all over now.

' ♦♦♦♦'I I M< 1 1 I H I H I ♦ * ♦♦♦♦ I NUTRITIONAL VALUE OP ALFALFA Classified advertisementa bring re- sults. 'I GOT THE PUMP . . . BUT NUTS TO YOU!" Experiments in the feeding of sheep for the correction of nutritional defi- ciences common to breeding ewes, fed under range conditions and on farms in western Canada, have resulted in findings which are likely to prove of great value to sheep ranchers and farmers. The University of Alberta, in co-operation with the National Re- search Council, has been carrjnng on experiments aimed to improve rations for breeding ewes in years when win- ters are long and grazing is difficult, or when as a result of drought the variety of food produced on farms is restricted. Experiments covering a period of years show that alfalfa hay contains ingredients which approximate quite closely those contained in natural pas- tures. Ewes receiving alfalfa as part of the ration retained their thriftiness, reproductive capacity and general health over a period of eighteen months, even though kept on dry feed summer and winter. I The value of this information to ranchers and farmers is that it sug- gests of importance of feeding al- falfa hay at all times. When, due to ! adverse climatic conditions, feed has to be bought or made available on the I range or on farms, first consideratim should be given to the purchase of alfalfa hay. especially if required for breeding stock. )The findings of the experiments are of si>ecial significance in view of the greater volume of alfalfa now be- ing produced in the prairie provinces and throughout Canada. The following is an actual letter a pump manufacturer Is reported to have received recently regarding shortage in sblpment: Gentlenieus,â€" I got the pump I buy from you. but you doan send me no handle, i h)ost^ to my good customer sure thins you doan treat rite.
