It is a difficult thing, for there is sensitivene@s.on Provincial rights." k Lower Interest. Farmers‘ interest rates are too high at 7 and 8 per cent. There would have to be a readjustment downward, the Minister said. "I don‘t belong to that school of thought favoring the fixing of prices," the Minister said, "but, if we cannot adjust the present sysâ€" tem so that there will be fair prices, then some system must be found.

High tariffis proved a barrier to her external trade. He urged business leaders to get toâ€" gether with a view to ending unâ€" ethical practices in business so that farmers would obtain reasonable returns for their products. Business problems of today must be cured and the purchnln%power of the purchaser returned, Hon. H. H. Stevens, Dominion Minister of Trade and Commerce, declared in an address at Kitchener on Saturâ€" day ni%ht. He spoke before the anâ€" nual banguet of the Kitchener Board of 9l‘rade. "Exports to Empire countries in February," Mr. Stevens said, "were $17,000,000, a 35 per cent. inâ€" crease. Exports to Great Britain were $13,000,000, a 81 per cent. increase. Exports to foreign counâ€" tries, $21,000,000, a 51 per cent. increase, and exports to United States. $14,000,000, a 67 per cent. increase. Hon. H. H. Stevens Declares Fair Prices Must Be Paid or Government Will Step In. . INTEREST RATES FOR % FARMER TOO HIGH He said the export situation was encouraging, and quoted figures to chow increases. He then mentioned the importâ€" ance of Canada‘s internal trade. "We consume," he said, "about 98 to 99 per cent. of our beef, virtually all our eggs, milk and butter, about 90 per cent. of our bacon, and wheat is virtually the only product of which there is a surplus.‘ â€" "About 50 per cent. of the people are agricultural. In other words," he continued, ‘"about half of the people are in that body depending on these things. The secret of Canâ€" ada‘s prosperity lies in the prosperâ€" ity of that â€"great body of agriculâ€" ture. If only the Boards of Trade and business men could come to realize that the one thing essential for the success of their business is largely dependenf, on the prosâ€" perity of that 50 per cent., they would be more sympathetic in efforts to find a solution to the problem of agriculture." _ . MUST CURE BUSINESS PROBLEMS Mr. Stevens illustrated how the loss of purchasing power, due to low farm produce prices, had reacted. "See what it has @one to your furniture industry. In trying to function _ under such conditions your workmen‘s wages were cut and they were working only part time for a pittance." _ Hon. W. D. Euler, Liberal memâ€" ber in the House of Commone for North Waterloo, and former Minisâ€" ter of National hevenue, infroduced Mr. Stevens. Mr. Euler declared: "If we can get the idea that busiâ€" ness should be more for service to the people than for profits, then we have gone a long way to solve the problem.". _ He pleaded for business organizaâ€" tions to get together "on what is fair dealing." _ _ 80 â€" "Much has been unearthed so far and more will {)robabl follow," Mr. Euler said.

HORSE TAKES DEEP BREATH AND WAKES UP TO FIND SHINY NEW SHOES ON HIND FEET JIM GETTAS‘ . CAR KNLLED _ RUS. LEMON Woman at Inquest States Three Car Occupants Consumed Five Quarts of Beer. A coroner‘s jury at Kitchener, March 19, found that Russell Lemon, Ontarfo provincial highway traffic officer, met death March Mth when truck by an auto driven by James é&%::. Kitchener restaurant proâ€" pridter. Gettas, free on $10,000 bail at present, will appear for preliminâ€" ary hearing on a â€" manslaughter charge Friday. GETTAS FREE Thirteen witnesses were heard by the jury under Dr. F. H. Kalbflefsch, Lemon was thrown 75 feet and, acâ€" cording to testimony of Dr. S. F. Leavine, died almost instantly. His spinal cord was practically severed. The officer had stopped an auto to check a tail light on a car driven by Rucse] Halstead, when a car passing hit him and knocked him into the ditch. Five quart bottles of beor had been consumed by Gettas, James Sakos and Margaret Tucker, the three 0câ€" cupants of the car, according to Miss Tucker‘s testimony. She said the left fender of the car had hit what she thought was a "trunk on the running board of the machine. Al though Gettas slowed up he did not stop, believing he had not caused much damage," said Miss Tucker. Witnesses‘ Evidence Agrees. Evidence given by the two perâ€" sona who were with Gettas at the time of the accident was identical in that they thought they had hit a trunk on the side of the parked car. In County Judge‘s criminal court on Thursdeay, Judge Clement eenâ€" tenced Sam J. Ryan, 69, of 70010!1. convicted on two charges Of faleifiâ€" cation of Preston post office acâ€" counts, to six months determinate and six indeterminate in the Ontario Reformatory . The tota) amount involved was $800. Patrick J. Flynn, counsel for the defence after obtaining several adjournments in the hope that restiâ€" tution would be made was unsuc ceeaful. Ryan, his counsel said, had been 34 years with one company be fore obtaining the post office posiâ€" tion Margaret Tucker, Walper House, testified that she, Gettas, and James Sakos had consumed several quarts of ale in Sakos‘ room at the Mayfair Hotel on Sunday evening, after which they had left to visit her sisters in Preston. Near Sunnyâ€" side, she testified, they saw a car moving slowly, but when they reachâ€" ed it they found it was parked. When passing the car she said she felt their car strike gomething, and told Gettas to stop and see what it was, but that Gettas had slowed down, and then told her to see if anyone was following. No one was, she said, so Gettas had continued to Preston where he found that his one headlamp was bent, and stopped to straighten it. After spending some time in Preston they returnefi to Kitchener. ‘ The evidence of Miss Tucker was vorroborated to a great extent by Sakos, who stated that he did not hear Miss Tucker tell Gettas to slow down after they had struck what he (Sakos) thought was a trunk on the parked car. Gettas had said after striking what they thought was the trunk, that he was wellâ€"known in Kitchener and if there was any damâ€" \sge done he would settle for it next ay. S Stole $800 from Preston Postoffice Sakos‘ evidence showed that the party had returned to Kitchener about 12.30 a.m. Monday morning, and after leaving Miss Tucker at the Walper House, the men had placed the car in a College Street Garage and gone to the galladium for a cup of coffee, after which they had returned to their homes. Russell Halstead of Kitchener, whose car H. T. 0. Lemon had «topped, testified that Lemon had said a few words to him, and then had gone to the rear of Halstead‘s car to his motorcycle. Halstead stated that at this point the car coming from Kitchener struck the rear of hiw car and continued going. He (Halstead) got out to see what damage there was, and turned to speak to the officer, but could not find him. He stated that he found him a few minutes later la/in{x on his vight «ide on the shoulder of the road, at right angles to the highway. An ambulance was summoned and removed the man to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. 0 Other evidence was given by Mr#. Norma Duncan, of Kitchener, whose car passed Gettas shortly after the mecident, and by L. Becker, who testified as to the lights on the Halstead car.
