Those with suffi- cient supply of home-produced seed should clean and f^rade it carefully, so as to sow the fewest possible weed seeds and small ,«eed which would produce only weak plants. Records since the dawn of civilization prove the truth of the adage: "We reap what wo sow." Good crops cannot be irrown without jrood seed. There is an abundance of timothy and alsike seed this vear in Canada and the sopply of domestic, red dovei-, alfalfa and sweet 'clover is low and should be obtained as early as possible. Seed K'"ain is in pood sup- I'l.v for Vxn seedinfr, except in the | drought areas of Western Canada and in Kastcrn Quebec, where seed will not be shipped in before spring. Mrs. Thos. Br«dy spent the week end ill Toronto. Mrs. John FJdwards of Toronto -pent the week end with her mother, Mrs. A. Wilson. Grand Carnival in Dundalk Arena, Monday, February 15.

Ho cited the success of the United States in securing soc- ial legislation, even with greater con- stitutional difficulties than we are likely to experience. New Zealand, which is not a federal union has, under n Socialist adminis- tration, headed by the Hon. .Michael Savage, who, incidentally is a devout Roman Catholic, enacted a series of progressive measures giving the cen- tral government control over the fin- ancial system, the marketing of prim- ary products, so that minimum fixed I)rices are guaranteed to the produc- ers and, hours and wage; in industry. Mi-, t'oldwell told the House. The Hon. Norman McLeod Rogers, Minister of Labour, made an academic peech on t'ne matter. He sees no way jut unless the initiative is taken by the provinces, "but I wonder whether, in view of the recent decisions of the Piivy Council, the initiative does not i;ow belong to the provinces." And again, Mr. Rogers says, "The decisions of the Privy Council, as an. .:ounced last week, have gone further in enipliusiziiig and entrenching prov- icial rights than any decision given for many years." He criticized Mr. tk-nnett severely but offered nothing nut a sit-and-wait policy. In my opinion, division of authority, with lack of power on the part of tile federal or central government is doing more than anything else to make de- mocracy ineffective in Canada. Un- less the changed conditions of today are to be taken into account by the Privy Council to a degree that ef- fects their decision, the B. N. A. Act must be amended. If the province."! have to carry the buiden of the ever- increasing social legislation, then their 1 iuht of taxation ruust be greatly in- creased. But even that would not re. .â- â€¢ult in uniformity of social services over the whole country. •%»%.•..*..%.%.:..%•!..••.•».•..•..%.%.%.•.•••••.«•«.'..> Other Papers' . Opinions . ABOUT OBITUARIES (Creernore Star) \Vc arc called on to write or assist • n writing at least fifty obituaries every year. Tiiere are established ethics to observe. It is always our ambition to do this duty with a kind- ness and feeling as one who had been bereaved. There is one paragraph, however, that we do not like to in- corporate in an obituary and that is the one enumerating those who sent flowers. It simply is not in good taste, and we will name a few objec- tions. If there are a great many flowers, to publish them gives an evidence of a desire to boast. If there are few flowers it is no proof that the deceased was unworthy. It is no news to write that immediate relatives sent flowers, but it would be news if they didn't.. In the pub- lishing of a list of those who gave â-  lowers a name or two may possibly be overlooked. This gives offence, and then there is the family whose great sympathy prompts them to give flowers when they actually cannot af- ford to do so. Probably they have an unpaid grocery bill and then we hear unfavorable comments. There are so many reasons against, and no good reasons in favor, that we al- ways do our best to discourage this particular paragraph in obituaries. Small Ads.

Any debate touching preparations for war this session has been bitter. All the old fears are being revived; that ('anada is not safe from Ger- many, from Japan and, I suppose, from Russia. .And phrases 1 thought never to hear again are useil re- peatedly: "Preparedness brings peace," "Muke the world safe for democracy," and even that old boner 'We must defend our women and children." The Kiglu, Hon. Ernest Lapointe made an imi)assionod speech, partly in defence of the military estimates which were not before the House, and partly in bitter criticism of Mr. Woodsworth's speech and attitude. While, On the one hand, Mr. Lapointe laimed that the increase in defence I stiinatcs is intended for the defence of Canada only, at another place ho implied, if he did not say, that com- plete neutrality on Canhda's pai't would lie eouivaleiit to bieaking from the Kmpire and the League. They ^e< nied to me two irreconcilable state- ments. '1 he Secretary of State, I.Mr. Rinfret, went further and confessed that he was too good a Britisiier to say thai if any part of the Empire were at- tacked Canada should not go to its aid. A .Social ("reditor, not to be outdone in patriotism (Mr. .lohnstone of Row River), e.xpressed the view that Can- ada should have the biggest navy, the biggest army and the biggest air force and yet keep them all in Can- ida when the war breaks out. Most ounlries nie content if they excel in one of these fields, but we are ' ont.-Britain Hritain on the .^ea, out Russia Russia in the air and out-G«r- man tiermnny on the land. After all that, surely we are safe in our beds. Mr. Woodsworth, in clo.dng the de- bate, urged us not to be deceived; "Arnuiments mean war." He quoted Ka;! (Jrey as having said, aftei' the waf, "The enormous growth of arm- ament, the sense of insecurity and ft a I- caused by them, it was these that made war inevitable." Mr. Woods- worth protested against any great- er expenditure on defence while veter- ans of the lust war and citizens oi Canada do without the necessities and ameniticH of life. lie expressed fear that being built in Canada were ninde '"â-  fit into the Empire scheme of de- fence like .spare parts. "I am sure," he said, "that every effort will be made to draw Canada into such re- lationship that Great Britain will be free to cn!-ry on her imperialistic en- terprises." Frankly, I am afraid of the influence (he coronation oeremon- 'OK niav have on those Canadians who "o to T,ondon to represent the govern- ment.

RADIO FOR CANADIANS ( Fergus News- Record ) Some of the editors have been Hating that they don't like the way the people have been hauled into court and fined for not having licen- ses for their radios. They feel that the fees might have been collected without making the defaulters feel like criminals. But of course, they needn't -feel like criminals in this case any more than if they had been taken to court for not having new markers for their cars. The dissatisfaction over radio li- en.se fees in undoubtedly due to thft I'oeliiijr which the average radio own- er has, that he doesn't get any re- urn for his money. It is useless to !)oint out that the Canadian Radio Commission puts on fine programs all the way across Canada. That doesn't help the average owner of a radio in â- ^he rural parts, for he seldom both- ers to listen to the C. R. C. stations •It night, because they are so hard to beni-. or else he can't hear them even if he might want to do so. A relative, who lives in the north- L'ln nart of Alberta, was telling us the other day that in the Peace River eountry they never heai- a Canadian station at all in the evening, and very few i|, the daytime. The people -are being filled with American ideas, ob- tained over the air. Canadian radio stations suffer a double (handicap. Either their power is too weak, or -Ise their wave lengths are blanketed by more powerful stations in United s!tiites or Mexico. The Mexican sta- tions operate on exactly the same 'vave-length, and there is no possible way of separating them. In the day-time, the nearby stations can be heard, but at night, the result is simp, ly (> jumble of sounds. Obviously something must be done Hboui it. Every Canadian has a right to hear a Canadian station has a right 'viM be dissatisfaction until these sta- tions nio friven power to overcome the handicaps which they suffer at pres- <'nt.
