_ As Professor Graham of the Ontario L(rl-] cultural ‘College well emphasized, the motto' "City or country, we are all Cangdians," pmmi-l nently displayed in the meeting place, was exâ€" pressive of unity and good fellowship. Assuredâ€". ly such gatherings cannot but promote a closer‘ and increasingly cordial relationship between the city and the country. It is recognized that the farmer is engaged in â€"a calling demanding ability, close study and experience if he is to be successful, just as his city brother must in the competition of business be ever diligent and follow modern methods. The farmer has, howâ€" ever, this handicap in that he is at the mercy of the elements and has absolutely no control over two basic things on which farmers depend for their crops, sunshine and moisture. That the average farmer in Waterloo County is prosâ€" ‘pering is due to qualities of industry and thrift and the fact that he has shown his progressiveâ€" ness by adopting modern methods of farming. The increasing number.â€"of conveniences availâ€" able on the farm is also a factor in making life more attractive in the rural community. â€"~_The friendly spirit existing between the urban and rural districts in Waterloo County was recently exemplified in South Waterloo when the farmers of that district were hosts to the Kiwanians of Galt. Several hundred enâ€" joyed the festivities of the occasion. â€" One great boon which the farmer enjoys in generous measure is the joy and exhilaration of working in the fresh air and sunlight for the greater part of the year. This alone is an advantage of farm life too often lost sight of. The country, like the city, has advantages. May the city and country dweller grow in apâ€" preciation of the contribution each has to make to the prosperity and contentment of this fair Dominion. At a good roads convention at Edmonton, the deputy minister of highways for Ontario, S. L. Squire, made the interesting prophecy that within ten years there would not be ten lines of electric railway in Canada operating at a profit. It was pointed out that the competiâ€" tion of buses and motor trucks would so underâ€" mine the\ business of the radials that they would have to stop qperating. The prophecy made by Mr. Squire appears likely of fulfilment as the railway companies in certain districts have found it necessary to inâ€" augurate bus services to hold their business. The gradual improvement in the highways of travel, many of which are now paved, with the corresponding increase in the use of motor vehicles, hasâ€" led to the great change in the method of transportation witnessed during the past few years. _ Attention has recently been directed to a law adopted by Massachusetts which compels every motor owner to take out $5,000 insurance against damages to either property or persons, unless, as an alternative, he deposits cash or securities, or a properly certified bond, for a like amount. In Ontario there is no certainty, in case of an accident, that the owner can be held to financial account. He may own nothing worth seizing, he may be judgment proof or may have bat a small equity in the car he drives. It is to protect the public against such drivers that the Massachusetts law was enacted. * The Toronto Star, in diseussing the law,l emphasizes that the law is not without its dangers. The motor car owner, while financially l protected against civil damage suits, may be| dissuaded from reckless driving by the cerhin-' ty of personal prosecution, if deteeted. The , adoption of compulsory insurance should thereâ€"{ fore be accompanied by a strict enforcem of the law as to careless driving. 183,000 MORE HORSE POWER FOR ONTARIOâ€"AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PROVINCES That a satisfactory agreement has been reached between the Provinees of Ontaric and Quebec for the deâ€" velopment lolnfly of the Carilion Falls power plan which will add apâ€" proximately ©133,000 horseâ€"power to Ontario‘s reserve of hydroâ€"electric energy was confirmgd by Premier Kerguson on _his return to Toronto from ‘his Quebec conference with Premior Taschereau.

The Deputy Minister of Mines of Manitoba told a gathering of business men in Winnipeg !the other day that in no country in the world ‘is there a better outlook in the mining industry \than in Canada. This statement was based on the almost unbelievable increased demand in ‘the world today for new mineral resources. He Ireminded his hearers that despite the vast areas yet undeveloped in Canada our mineral resources were not inexhaustible. Even in the ‘Dominion places were to be found where mines had been exhausted. In Great Britain and the United States thereâ€"were numerous instancesâ€" of it. As older mining countries exhausted their mines, they will look to the new countries, such as â€"Canada, for new ones. | It is interesting to observe in this connecâ€" &n that the the League of Nations, after an exhaustive study, has declared that free trade fis the only solution they see for the problem jof guaranteeing that all nations of the world iget their share of mineral supply as the minâ€" "eral deposits were not only limited in extent |but erratically scattered. It is also worthy of |note that agricultural developments follows on |the heels of mining development. With the exception of Quebec, all provinces in Canada report a continued increase in emâ€" ployment at the beginning of September, the Maritimes showing the largest gains. * The Irish Frée State census is disappointâ€" ing to the Irish. It indicates that the populaâ€" tion has decreased by 166,886 since 1911. Many were attracted to the United States and to Great Britain. 8 Automobile production in Canada dyring August showed an increase of 73 per cent. over the output of the same month a year ago. The greatest production was in the production of closed passenger models, which increased 140 per cent. over last year. The road toll grievance is acute in Great‘ Britain. Road users regard the toll as an imâ€". position in view of the fact that motorists pay . heavy taxes towards the maintenance of the highways. It is now generally recognized that all important means of communication should be free. y Members of the Toronto School Board are being subjected to much criticism because of costs incurred in hiring taxis. In two occasion§ bills of $39.50 and $41.00 were run up. That there should be criticism is not surprising when it is considered that the Board has its own auto fleet. . Nine constituencies in the Province have no representation in the Ontario Legislature at present. The seats have&ien vacant from 30 days to over a year. The people of the province are awaiting some announcement from Premier Ferguson either regarding the holding of byeâ€" elections to fill these vacancies or a general election. The advance made in providing educational facilities in the province of Saskatchewan is shown by figures recently made public. On January 1st this year there were 4,679 school districts as compared with 896 when Saskatchâ€" ewan became a province in 1905. The large number of 6,250 teachers is engaged in the teaching profession as compared with 1,011 when the province was formed. * OUTLOOK IN MINING INDUSTRY EDITORIAL NOTES NOVEL PLAN TO FIND MATES FOR TOWN‘s GIRLs ‘The mayor of Wallasey, England, which is filled with marriageable maidens, has struck on a novel to get some of them mrflod.'?:- cently he issued a statement in which he told of the surplus of bgauâ€" tiful girls in Wallasey.

MILLIONAIRE GIVES MIDDLE AGE FEAST Epicures triumphed over the French government food restrictions when a middle‘ age feast was served with exact faithfulness as to dishes and mannersâ€"yet legally complying with the food laws. Twenty South Americans attended the feast, which was given by a multiâ€"millionaire Peruvian marquis in honor of Ecuaâ€" dor‘s minister to Paris, Senor Gonâ€" zalo Zaldreidez. The repast, reported fo have cosli $50 a plate, was prepared from the recipes of Taillevent, celebmud! cook of Charles VII. of France, m' indelent king, famous for his Iove] of gustatory pleasures and excesses. and who conferred a title on the‘ chief. â€" | Medieval viands, meats, breads and pastries were prepared under the supervision of Prosper Montagu, who is known in Chicago, having gone there on a gov/smment mission in 1915 to purchase meats from Wilson & Co. _ Although the guests were not cosâ€" tumed, the menu and manner of eating and serving all were reventâ€" ly carried out. The floor of the banquet room was strewn with sweet smelling herbs into which the guests hurled the bones or discardâ€" ed morsels. No forks were provided. Kach guest had a wooden plate holdâ€" ing a broad, flat piece of bread upon which the portions were seryvâ€" ed. Break a Chest © Cold with Heat _ Of Red Peppers Ease your tight, aching chest.
