Editor. £ASTKK.\ CANADA FARMERS Vl</riMS OF EXPLOITATION Th* price of eighty cents per bush- el for 'Western wheat was set by the Dominion Government last week, the amount farmers will receive for each bushel of No. 1 Northern taken to the elevators in Western Canada. Lower grades of wheat will bring a lower price. This will no doubt be of great benefit to the farmers in those districts of the West that have good crops this year, but which have suffered from the drought the past few seasons. It will allow them to Returned Men's Week (Durham Chronicle) The past week has been a great one for the returned men of this country, both in Toronto and in Grey County. They have enjoyed their periodical reunion, and what a time they had. In Toronto they did everything but tear up the pavement, and the citi- zens and police seemed to like it. At Flesherton on Monday the Grey County veteran.s had n eet-together , ami it wa« a wonH«»»-fnl Rucces.t. No doubt there will be criticisms of the maimer in which some of the hoys enjoyed themselves, but this is to be expected. No person who has never been in the army can quite get the slant of the returned man when he meets his former overseas mates at these periodical reunions. We have failed so far to find any place in which close friendships are made comparable to the army. When you soldier with a man three or four years you know him. You know he is genuine, and it is only natural that when you meet him at these get-to. crethers where everj-thing goes, there is something bound to happen that could not happen anywhere else. That old saying that "old soldiers never die, they simply fade away" ... ' ...», cii..pi,> j«uu- away enjoy better livmg and perhaps pay might be revised to include the some of the indebtedness piled up during the same years. At the same time that the labove decision was made public Prime Minister Macken- zie King gave out the statement that the pegged wheat price was applic- able to only Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, when representatives were made to have the set price include the provinces of Eastern Canada. Protection has been given Western provincesi and why not, at the same time, protect the farmers of Eastern Canada by including these provinces in the ag- reement? Eastern Canada farmers (Mitchell Advocate) There is no danger of you being defrauded when you buy from a local tradesman, says the Leamington Post and News. The local merchant's rep- . utation is at stake every time he are therefore forced to remam as a makes a sale, whether the commodity friendships made in the army, and es pecially in time of war. There i.s no friendship quite like that of your "buddy'' in the army. He more than likely has stood by you through thick and thin, right or wrong, and it is the most natural thing in the world that when they meet at a reunion the lid is blown off and conventions for- gotten. Home Products Best field of exploitation of unscrupulous dealers and take a much lower price for their wheat than would otherwise be the case, and at the same time pay their share to provide the price of eighty cents for Western wheat. A couple of weeks ago hog prices on the Toronto market reached the highest price paid during the past nine years when they realized over twelve cents per pound. Now the prica is nine and a half cente a pound. If hogs were worth twelve cents per p«und one week thep were worth the «me the following week when they fell one and a half cents. How is this qaick change justified by the packers. It look suspicjous and hiany people have an opinion why the drop took place. A tesr years a»o the price spreads commission renderd their report to Parliament, but their advice goes unheeded and incidents like the above continue to take place. Protection is thus ac- corded to all except the Eastern Can- ada fanner. PUNK PICTURE Pond father: "This is the sunset my daughter painted. She etudied abroad you know." Neighbor: "Well, I was going to nay I never saw a sunset like that in this country." is a can of sardines or a suit of clothes. Actually he has to live up to the strictest standard of trade practice if he is to continue in busi- ness â€" a first class reason why he deserves every dollar of the trade being transacted by the citizens of the area he serves. Just last week a local man told us of his experiences in shopipng for a good used car. He went to several out-of-town dealers first, but in spite of their plausible arguments he was not .satisfied with the cars they offered him. Returning home he visited a local dealer, and got a car at a better price than he had been prepared to pay. It was then that he realized that by buying from a fellow citizen he was certain to get a square deal â€" ^for the dealer's place ef business is just down the street, and h« can't afford to Jeopar- dize his business standing in the com- munity by misrepresenting a used car to his neighbor. The more it is re- alized that the local tradesman is doing business on the strictest stand- ard of ethics, the greater will be the number of local people who voluntar- ly turn away from the often ques- tionably conducted out-of-town trad- ing and give their business to the man whose livelihood is rooted in the community. And the sooner tiiis is done, the better, for with the greater flow of local trade through local channels, all local enterprise will be helped.

Live Stock Rqiort Although supplies of cattle were wraewhat less for Monday's market, Ae tradtt opened slow and only cat- tle ef ahoice quality showed any ac- tivity. There were over two thous- and stockers on sale and these met with a very poer market, as farmers wer« buiy harvesting and did not show any real interest in securing their requirements just now. A few cb««e weighty steers brought from ?.©• to 7.60 with those of fair to good quality from 6.26 to 6.76. In the butcher section choice steers and heifers broug4it from 6.00 to 6.60; fair to good from 5.60 to 6.00; common to medium 4.60 to 5.25. Choice baby beeves brought from 8.00 to 8.60, others at low«r prices ac- cordingly. Best light stockers brought from 4.60 to 6.00, common kind from 4.00 to 4.60. The cow market held steady, choice from 3.76 to 4.26. fair to good from 8.26 to 8.50; common to medium 2.76 to 3.00; canners and cutter 2.00 to 2.66. The bull trade was steady choice from 4.00 to 4.26; bolognas from 3.60 to 4.00. Choice ewe lambs held steady at 9.B0 and best butcher sheep 3.50 to 4.00. Calves were in good demand choice from 8.50 to 8.76; fair to good from 7.00 to 8.00; common to med- ium 5.00 to 6.00, grass calvcf 4.00. The hog market has been very dis- nppointing and although buyers were bidding lower prices for hogs on Monday most of the sales were made nn the oasis of 9.50 for truck deliver- ies. Prices for the balance of the week will depend entirely upon sup- plies and salesmen are hopeful of focovering some of the decline, shown ^ the last two weeks, in the near Dogs For Th e Blind Four of the famous "Seeing-Eye" dogs, trained especially in Morristown New Jersey, for use as guides to blind persons, are owned in Canada. Their pictures, accompanied by their mas- ters, are contained in an interesting page in the recently issued aimual report of the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind. One of the dogs is owned by a storekeeper in Toronto. One is the cherished com- panion of a one-armed blind lady wh« operates a stand under the auspkee of the Institute in Mcmtreal. The third is owned by a salesman who guides his master through the thick- est of Toronto's traffic and the fourth is the guide and guardian of R. P. Thompson, who represents the Insti- tute in Calgary. It is the hope of the Institute that, within the near future, arrangements will be made to have a limited number of these dogs train- ed in Canada. KEEPS DAD BROKE "The modem girl makes a mother" says a clergyman. Yes, and a poor father. good ''What is a fair tax rate?" asked a contemporary. We do not know the answer all we know is there will never be one. A man from London was in court recently for using 1936 car markers. We can't see where he gained much because the court took fourteen dol- lars from him. QUITE SAFE A man astonished the want-ad. c erk of a newspaper recently bv Plac.ng an «d. offering |50 reward for the return of his wife's pet eat. Isnt that a high reward for a cat?" asked the ad. taker. "Not in this case" said the man "I drowned it." Isn't it only a natural consequence that a man by the name of Hull get ^ome of the ci-eam from a big fhilk- producing concern. Kx-«»rvice mo'h feel .lad over' the •lispntrh that the man who composed th,. song "Ifs a long way to Tipper- ary" has passed on. In the war days the singiag of this favoiwite song often helped to di*ipato the blues. Goat whiskers are being used with great success in the manufacture of carpets.
