THURSTON, Editor THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE EDITORIAL NOTB8 At Ri:voiR WestcrD Ftrmers Do Not Receive Big Money Fifty years in the editorial chair! li beems A long time uuc the Cree- iiioiL' otar covers the ground pretty well when it says: "Mr. Thurston, in his long career, must have had many pleasant as well as unpleasant exper iences. He most likely worked long hours with small compensation as is the case with most editors, but he could not help bat have had many satisfying moments when his labors seemed not in vain." One vould al- mogl believe that tin editur of The Cretmore Stai had aclually passed over the road we have travelled, his description is so vivid. The many other editors, too, whose very kindly comments were published in these col- umns last week, all appear to have B vei-y clear conception of the de- mands and rewards of their job. But the time has come to say fare- well to all these dear friends, these good chums of the press, and it is without doubt the saddest moment of our life. But fifty years of piloting the destiny of one paper ought to be enough for any man, so we have de- cided to drop out of the editorial chair- before we are forced out by the great ! enemy of man, and while we (-iii pay a final word of appreciatio.i to the many good friends who hive stood 60 loyally by us in "rair or shine." : Several of our subscriber- lio.ve taken the paper for that full fifty yea) , and it seems a cruel thing to havt to say eoodbye to all these loyal friends. But the paper will go on and probably in an improved form, under the pilot- age of our son, Mr. Frank Thursto , to whom we relinquish our editorial seat as well as handing over to him all ordinary business trans- actions but still retaining an advis- ory attitude. In doing so we feel that he will d» his utmost to uphold the past traditions of the old paper and contiue its publication in the best interests of the people of Flesherton and the district as a whole. In ar- riving at these conclusions we have heeded a recent warning, and we are very thankful that we have been spar- ed to make a formal farewell to the many friends on our subscription list and others and to make an appeal to them to continue their support to our successor whom we believe worthy. We wish to close these few lines of farewell with a couple of quota- .Vhile we have been having hot weather recently, don't let us com- plain as cold weather wilt shortly be with us again. • • * In another column on this page we print an interesting letter from our old friend, Mr. W. L. Hudson of Lethbridge, Alta., a former Osnrev '>o>, relating to comment in this column. We are always pleased lo â-  ciive a letter from Mr. Hudson. We wish that more of our readers would take the time to write to their newspaper and air their views of the world in general or any subject they wish. • « • The friendly visit to Canada last week of President F.

The price is low, it being estimated that it costs sixty cents a bushel to produce wheat on '.'-c I'rairies and the larui ueiage that price thih ^ear. ' notice there is considerable agi- tation in Ontario about the Federal governments setting the price of wheat to Western farmers and not to the wheat growers of Ontario. I would like to make one or two ob- servations. First the Western farm- er doesn't get eighty cents per bushel for his wheat as the Ontario papers would have their readers believe. Eighty cents is the price for No. 1 Northern at the lake head. The rail- ways get from twelve to seventeen cents per bushel for freight, the El- evator Company gets one and three quarters cents for elevator charges and one cent commission per bushel. These total up to fifteen or twenty cents per bushel to be aeducted from Collection of miniatures, among which we saw 3,00u tiny gold spoons which just fill a hazel nut; a willie-nillie seed containing 83 ivory elephants, obtained from the Mayor of Bombay; a tiny French almanac dated 1812 and bound in leather; a gun six inches will not lontr powerful enough to kill a person; a pnir of n«rfeclly-knit mitts an inch long; a perfectly-made organ about two inche; hA;;h, and hundreds more small curiosities. Tour of New York We went on a guided bus tour, through upper New York and some of the places seen and visited were: Tiffany jewellery store, Woolworth building, Empire State building which is IO5 stories high, the highest in the world; the Chrysler buildings, which is the second highest; the Church of St. Nicholas, which the late Theodore Roosevelt attended; the beautiful church of St. Patrick, a Catholic church, the eleventh largest in the world; the Church of Heavenly Rest, built by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, whose famous husband gave 37 libraries to the eighty cents. Then there is three. t^e city; New York Public Library, cents less for No. 2 Northern and six 'containing 3,000,000 books; Mt.

Occasionally we pass country boys and girls on their way to and from .school. Nearly all wear stockings and shoes, so it looks as if the barefooted boy belongs to the nast. In some respects it is a pity. To go barefooted gave a sense of lightness, coolness and freedom that the stockinged and booted boy can never know. How lightly and how easily the barefoot boy ran, and how soundlessly. True, barefoot boys had their trib- ulations. There were thistles, slivers stone bruises and cuts, all painful and uncomfortable for the barefooted boy. Sometimes, too, the flesh would crack underneath one of the smaller toes, making an opening that was painful and hard to heal. The usual reme3y was a band of homemade yarn and some household emolient which soft- ened the hard edges and helped heal the "crack." What exquisite delight it was not to have to bother with shoes and stockings night and morning, even if there was the ordeal of feet washing before bedtime, and what exquisite toi-ture when company came Sunday afternoon and the boys were forced to dress up and put on hot, tight- tions, which are familiar to all, from ^ fit^j,,^, i^^^^^ f„^ ^^e rest of the dav. Going barefoot in summer is heali'-- fi' •ind helped to make enrlv Can^id- ian boys and birls hardiet. Men and â- 'ompn of the older gonerp^'on will rpa '-'v I'nderstind the snirit ,f Whit- ier's "oom, ''The Barefoot Tl ly," and the pen of James Montgomery: F- end after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend ? T' ere is no union here of hearts ' That finds not here an end. 'I' And this truism that all should i its familiar couplet strive to remember: It is not all of life to live. Nor all of death to die.

It is not likely the farmers in Ontario will have to sell their wheat for as low as that. Then again in Ontario they have mixed farming and while they may have to sell their wheat at a price below the cost of production, they have a chance to make up for it in other products. The wheat grower on the prairie, on account of climatic conditions, is ob- liged to stick close to the one line of production, namely wheat. Every line of business in the whole of Can- ada receives benefit from the wheat crop grown on the Prairies. The manufacturing cities of Ontario re- ceived their greatest incentive for growth from the wheat production on the Prairie, thus the more money the wheat producer on the Prairies gets the better for the cit/es of Ontario. Wishing The Advance and yourself every success. Yours truly, W. L. HUDSON. Lethbridge, Alta. EIGHTH LINE Threshing is the order of the day. There was a heavy rain last week which did considerable damage to the grain. Mrs. Will Blaske and son, Ronald, have been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Moffat. Messrs Willie and P. J. Somers have left for the West. Jewish Hospital, which is open to all denominations and where great cancer research is being carried on; the Mus- eum of Natural History, built to the memory of the late President Roose- .relt; Madison Square Gardens, which doesn't equal our Maple Leaf Gardens (in our opinion anyway). Riverside Baptist Church is a magnificent struc- ture in French gothic architecture, built by Rockefeller, and it has 72 bells in the tower, the largest of which weighs nine tons. Another famous church seen was the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, now being completed after 46 years of construc- tion. It is built of massive masonry in gothic architecture and cost $25,- 000,000, all received in contributions from all over the world. It has two huge solid bronze doors donated by employees of the Metropolitan Insur- ance Co., above which is a wonderful rose window, 40 feet across. It con- tains seven chapels and is the largest church in the English-speaking world. Columbia University was interesting, too. It was built in 1754 and consists of 49 buildings and had 30,000 enrolled in this year's summer courses (they even have them there). We drove by Central Park, laid out in 1854, comprising 843 acres, with its great statues, beautiful gardens, seven lakes, 31 miles of walks and 40,000 seats. We also saw Harlem, the negro part of the city, ntany of them being wealthy. They have their own stores, police, firemen, schools, hos- pitals, etc. Lennox Ave. is their main street, and while it has nothing to do with Amos 'n Andy story, on it there is Madame Queen's Beauty Parlor. Grant's Tomb was one af the mest beautiful places visited. It is on Riverside Drive on a high terrace and is built of white marble, wonderfully We are glad to know Mrs. George carved.

BIGGEST FROLIC EVER HELD IN MARKDALE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 many places to go, that even with its 221 miles of subways and 144 miles of elevated railways, buses and thous- ands of taxi cabs, we just couldn't get everywhere. We found some time, however, to see some of the exclusive shops on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and we did shop a bit â€" but not there. We walked up Broadway at night, just to see the lights, and no wonder it is called "the great white way." At Times Square and Broad- way is the greatest display of signs in the world, they are wonderful. There are so many nationalities in New York â€" more Italians than in Naples, more Germans than in Ham- burg, more Irish than in Belfast, more Jews than in Jersualem (two and a quarter million. We enjoyed the trip and we learned a great deal, but even if it is the second largest city in the world, we felt, upon reaching home that "East, West, home's best." light, buyers were bidding much lower prices and the bulk of the sales on alonday were made at 9,25 off tuucks. The prospects for the balance of the week look uncertain. When a woman over forty manages to look under thirty she has the knack of making up the difference. The test of good manners is being able to put up pleasantly with bad ones. Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levack.
