Those at the head of governments, it is found, have apparently been counting thi cost, and no longer is there a belief that even the most belligerent among them are anxious to start the blood- letting. They know, from the co!- lossal loi<ses of life and property that win or lose, every nation that goes to war is a certain loser, and that th^ whole world is i.'Vi-:^^^vf paying for the destruction effected on th«> battle- fields. The dread effects of the strug- gle were experienced in every part of the universe. Little wonder, there- fore, is it though there is still, fool- ish fratricidal warfare in Spain, helped along by Fascist rations to strengthen their own ambitions, and though Jap- an is attacking China, .specially on pre- tence of having been nationally as- saulted, but really because of land and trade hunger there is still strong hopo that better counsels will prevail in the European continental nations. One fact that cheers us Britishers, in the old home and abroad, is that Mother- land statesmen, though steadily as- suming a defensive attitude should the worst come, are deteiniined that no act of their's shall promote the war spirit â€" that their voice shall be that of peace. In this attitude we believe they are .supported by the people of Canada and her sister British nations, as well as by the overwhelming maj- ority of the Britishers in the old land. Gift To Newly Married Couple Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hutton, (nee Viola Fawcett) recent groom and bride, were presented with a break- fast suite by her Kimberley friends and a social evening was enjoyed by all. During the course of the even- ing, the presentation was made and the following address was read: Dear Viola and Harold: It is with pleasure that we your friends and neighbors have gathered Here to enjoy a social evening with you in celebration of your recent rtar- riage. It is with regret that we have learned of your going from our com- munity, Viola. We wish to convey to you our appreciation of your excellent citizenship, your readiness to give your time and your talents to the best things in life. You have always been ready to sacrifice your- self if any were in need.

Vour kindly manner has won for you many friends and our associations will nlways be a pleasant incmory as we travel along life's way. We are not so well acquainted with you Harold but hope to know you bet- ter in the future.' We are glad to know that we will still have the plea- sure of meeting you both from time to time. In view of all that your associations have meant to us we ask you to accept >his bieakfast suite as our token of respect and esteem for you both witi-i our best wishes for a happy and pros- perous married life and ni;iy (lod l)l('ss vou and prosper you in the new life you have chosen. Signed on behalt of the Kimberley community. .Joy Ellis Mrs. Ran Hutchinson Christena Hutchinson Ada Mundle Preseat Electioo Is 20th For Ontario BLMI'EK ( KOI'.S TO FOLLOW DKOKJHT Kiturns compiled at Ottawa now give the wheat yield of the Dominion this year as 188 milliim bushels, to which is adtled a carry over fron\ liKifi of :J7 million bushels. Leaving for Jonieslic ie<iuirenienls, 100 million bushels, and a carry over in liCtH ot :{,') million bushels the amount for ex- port would be :m) million liushels. But if the reported probalde expoits from other countries is heavy, Canada may not find an export market for even the abnormally small export to otlui eounliies. It is piobably this know ledgi' tha' keeps the prices for export at presei f lower than had been x- pecte<l. "here are pri'seni doubts as to the yii I of wheat in .Aiistralia and Argentiiu, and that, too help to re- Ktrain buyers in Britain from purchas- ing in this counliy and the Unit 'i\ Slates except on a largely "from hand to mouth" basis. The big trouble in this country js the fact that in wide districts of Alberta ami Saskatchewan the crops were a total failure. They pray and hope for better things nexl year and a (College Professor main- tains that the era of drought is to be followed in 19;18 by abundant rain and bumper yields. We will all hope so Marking its 70th year as a jtrovince with the 20th general election October (i, Ontario looks back on a political history well barbed with class and social issues and often from three to nine parties or groups ready to fight them. Generally speaking, government of the province has remained in the hand.s of either of the two old-line parties. Total years of power enjoyed by the various parties or groups follow: Un- ion, 4; Reform, 4; Liberal, 33; Con- seivative, 25; Farmer-Labor, 4. Reflecting differences of opinion on the form of operation of Confedera- tion in 1867, the earlier Ontario elec- tions were fought largely by Union and Reform parties. John Sand- field's Union government of 1867 gave place in 1871 to the Reformers under Edward Blake, a member also of the House of Commons. Blake resigned the provincial leadership in 1872 to devote all his elTorts to federal affairs. Changed Names in 187.') Thff election of 1875 saw the Union and Reform parties renamed Conserv- ative and Libei'al, following the ex- ample of the Dominion House. The provincial Liberals were then led by .Sir Oliver Mowat, who had forsaken the judiciary for politics. Shrewd leader of men, he hold the premier- ship for 24 years, stilt an Ontario lecord. He was appointed lieuten- ant-governor in 1897. Meanwhile, in 18114, the province saw the first serious break in the two- party system, with the nominations of the Patrons of Industry and the Pro- testant Protective Association. The P. I. won 14 seats and the P. P. A. 2 in the general election that year. Led by Joseph Haycock, the Patrons are recalled by many as the genesis ot the United Farmers' political move- ment in Canada. For four years the P. I.'s were an elective group in the Ontario House and put the older parties on their mettle. Mr. Hay- cOck was defeated in the lHit8 election and the new party broke up. The Protestant Protective .Associa- tion rose from the agitation born ol the payment of $400,000 by the pro- vince of Quebec for Jesuit estate claims. It became an issue in the Dominion Mouse and was eclioed throughout Ontario. With the ebb ol sectarian sentiment the P. P. .\. move- ment subsided. The general election of 1;)05 eniled a long Liberal regime, after ;{0 years in the saddle. Conservatives, first the members wore present. As there | under Sir James Whitney, then Sir was not a Very large amount of bus- iness on hand for this meeting, it was nil done in good order and everyone was able to be home in fair time.

Liberals 2!' and Conservatives 25. With the aid ol' II Labor members, E. C. Drury formed the Fanner-Labor coalition, which held the reins nearly four years. Led by (1.

Simile: As lonesome as a bathing beach on a cool September rresentatioo to Frank 1). Cairns Last Saturday evening a group oi neighbors and friends of Mr. Frank D. Cairns gathered at the home oi Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McMuUen and presented him with a Gladstone trav- elling bag, as a token of remembranc<! before his departure from this district. Tile address read was as follows: Dear Frank: The occasion of our meeting here tonight is to say farewell to you our old friend and neighbor. We are not going to sing your praises â€" that would be at once impertinent and un- necessary. We shall only say that during your lifetime amongst us you have endeared yourself to us all by your never-failing kindness, hospit- ality and consideration, as well as by your constant cheerfulness, good fel- lowship and sympathy, qualities which will make you friends where ever you go. Though you will be no longer with us. We will always remember our friendship, the pleasant comradeship and intimacy of many years. Thesj things will be treasured memories to us all, and we would ask you to ac- cept as a parting gift from us this Gladstone bag in token of our great regard and esteem. If gifts art valuable according to the feelings of the givers, then this one, in itself trifling, will perhaps commen.l itself more to you than other more preciou." objects solely because it is the gift of friends and neighbors. Wherever you go you take with you our goodwill and our friendship and when you return you will find us ready to welcome you. Signed on behalf of your nei.!?hbors: .las. W. McMuUen M. .<?.

Have More Interest In Getting The Dollax Harold W. Donahue, merchandising expert of London, has been talking to audiences heiv and there on a timely subject, "why business goes else- where." Some of his ideas, at least, are worth passing on to merchants and their statfs. "Too many clerks,' .Mr. Donahue says, "seem more inter- ested in getting your dollar than in making the customer feel welcome, and thus giving him a desire to come t)ack again." Further, he believes there was too much high pressure and not enough friendliness. The attitude in many stores, he added, was not 'What can I do for you," but "What can I get out of you." People do not like to feel they are being sold something. On the contrary, they like to think they are doing their own shopping, so that the storekeeper and clerk must make his own suggestions in a manner which does not give the customer the impression that he is being sold. Mr. Donahue would work on basis of friendship, being convinced, after :i careful study of business, that thr business man could not get business sitting like a sphinx behind an office grill, but in establishing and main taining friendly relations with hi= customers, so that they will want to come back again. He is right. Collingwood Enterprise-Bulletin. A man in Windsor says if one wants to live to be 90 years old he should smoke a pipe. The same day another man in London said the secret of old age is in walking. If one went at it either way in a vigorous manner it would result in the same thing â€" puffing.
