It has become common knowledge that the recent Stratford strike resulted primarily from unscrupulous business practices such as Hon. Mr. Stevens descPibed, thereby resulting in heavy losses both to manufacturers and their employees. Again we have concrete evidence of the need for effective government intervention in the appeals of the Toronto Board of Control, the London City Council, and the Kitchener City Council for legislation to provide a miniâ€" ‘Hon. W. D. Euler, North Waterloo, recently asserted that business and industry must adopt a more humane attitude towards the worker. Dr. J. B. Reynolds, noted agricultural authority, has forecast the introduction of legislation for compulsory marketing measures in various branches of the farming industry. A wellâ€" known business figure, Hon. Manning Doherty, asserts that the day has come in Canada when industrial and business leaders cannot carry on for profit alone, without due regard for the interests of the masses of people. He emphaâ€" sizes the necessity of concrete action to eradiâ€" cate the evils which have throttled industry and turned thousands into idleness and despair. Hon. Mr. Stevens has stated that he does not approve of Government interference in busiâ€" ness and industry, but that the Government would support a properlyâ€"organized group of men in any trade to reâ€"establish their business on a plane that would afford a living wage for employees, a fair profit for the employer and particularly a decent reward for the farmer. The smaller centres of Ontario and Quebec have a real interest in the revelations being made by this probe, because the retail trade in small towns and villages has suffered great inâ€" jury by reason of the practices described by Hon. Mr. Stevens in his January address. The independent merchant is having a difficult time to make ends meet because of the ruthless comâ€" petition and unfair methods of the larger inâ€" terests. Consequently many believe that the time has come when the Government must step in and apply the necessary remedy‘to a situaâ€" tion that has become almost unbearable from the standpoint of the great mass of business men and small industrialists throughout the ] country. , No single event in recent years has aroused such widespread interest in Canada, and parâ€" ticularly in Ontario and Quebec, as the sweepâ€" ing investigation now under way at Ottawa into the business practices of departmental and chain stores, and the packing and milling inâ€" dustries. Armed with complete authority, a parâ€" liamentary committee, headed by Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, has instructions to thoroughly probe the effects of mass buying on the living standards of workers and on labour conditions in the producing inâ€" dustries, also to ascertain the relationship beâ€" tween the milling industry and the bakeries and to discover whether or not the present system of marketing livestock prevents a fair return to producers. â€" In demanding legislation to curb the activiâ€" ties of nonâ€"resident retailers of foodstuffs, who annually take huge sums of money out of every Ontario community, particularly towns and villages on the highways, the Simcoe County Council has taken action which should have the support of every other municipal council in the province. It might have gone further and inâ€" cluded wares other than foodstuffs, since the problem of combatting the outside vendor is one that affects many lines of business in the smaller community. The fault liee with the Ontario statute which permits the outside grower or manufcturer of a product or his agent to sell it at will so long as it grown or made in Ontario. Time and again certain reâ€" tailers‘ organizations have sought relief from the provincial government, but the influence of manufacturers and large producing interests was too great. Municipal councils should have the right to control and regulate by byâ€"law the vetail sale of foodstuffs by nonâ€"residents in such municipalities and to impose a reasonable fee for such licenses as may be issued under such byâ€"laws. There can be no plea of ignorance on the part of the driver. The impact must have damâ€" aged his car to such an extent that he could not possibly remain unaware of the fact that his car had struck something. Such indifferâ€" ence on the part of the offending motorist is hard to understand and is becoming far too common. The killing on the Prestonâ€"Kitchener highâ€" way recently of Provincial Traffic Officer Lemon by a hit and run motorist is regrettable. The officer was thrown into the ditch, breaking his neckâ€"and the car speeded on. On application. Advertising copy must reach the office not later than Monday noon to insure insertion.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Anywhere in Canada, $2.00 a year; in the United States, $2.50 a year, payable in advance. AN IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION THE NONâ€"RESIDENT VENDOR THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER ADVERTISING RATES: Again the proposal has been made â€" by means of a bill introduced in the House of Representatives at Washington â€"that people who work in the United States be not allowed to live on the Canadian side of the boundary. It is hoped the Canadian Minister at Washingâ€" ton will get U.S. authorities to take a more liberal attitude. The interest in reforestation grows apace. Farmers develop woodlots on their holdings, municipalities establish new forest areas, and citizens in increasing numbers are showing a keener interest in the planting and care of trees. ‘ The Ontario Government has definitely decided to abandon for this year, at least, its move for compulsory pasteurization of milk in all cities of the province. It was felt that public opinion was not sufficiently behind such a proâ€" posal. To say there is no divergence of interest between the packer and the stock raiser is to suggest that the interests of buyers and sellers are identical. By the slim margin of 19 votes, ambitious Canadians today stand confirmed in their right to aspire to titles bestowed by King George. We need further courageous displays such as that of the Stratford veterans to convince the ruling powers that the common people are in no mood for turning the world into a charnelâ€" house. } The Stratford veterans have taken this action not through any desire to show disloyalty to their country nor to depreciate the gallant service given by thousands of Canadian sons in the war, but as a means of expressing their protest and despair that the forces which they fought from 1914 to 1918 should again prevail. \ An admirable gesture to express their idea of the futility of the Great War and of war in general is that of twentyâ€"one members of the Stratford Branch of the Canddian Legion, who have surrendered their Victory Medals, with a request that they be sent to the Finance Ministers of twentyâ€"one nationsâ€"allied and enemy alikeâ€"to be melted down into mets.l‘ "and swallowed with all other rewards of armed conflict in payment of the war costs of the' world." As Canada‘s judicial system is modeled after that of Great Britain, it is interesting to learn that the mother country has discharged its last grand jury. On this occasion a prominâ€" ent Britisher, learned in the law, declared: "Over many years Parliament has raised so many protections against improper convictions, that the necessity for the services of grand juries has gradually diminished. So plentiful are the barriers raiged in defence of an accused person that it is surprising that prisoners are convicted at all." This statement is equally applicable to Canada. The grand jury has beâ€" come superfluous and a wholly unwarranted burden upon the public treasury. Judicial tyranny, which it was designed to thwart, is no longer possible. Fair treatment for accused persons is assured without the presence of a grand jury and the periodic inspection of public buildings can be just as efficiently carried out by members of the County Council. President Roosevelt declared he would reâ€" introduce the measure and have it ratified in some form. The administration is determined the canal shall be built. I Canadians and Americans in large numâ€" bers regret that the St. Lawrence Waterway Treaty was defeated in the United States _Senate the other day because of a technicality vhich requires a twoâ€"thirds votes to carry. A :onsiderable majority of Senators voted in its {avor. This setback for this important project is disappointing because had it passed the Senate, the Canadian Government would doubtâ€" less have given their approval. This would aave meant much for employment directly and for various industries which would have supâ€" plied materials for the canal. It would have helped in bringing about a recovery of business already quite evident in Ontario. new conception of fair play inculcated in the minds and hearts of leaders in commerce and industry. Only thus can the new era of prosâ€" perity successfully establish itself in this Doâ€" minion and the menace of poverty and unemâ€" ployment disappear from the scene of Canadian life. . 1 Such external evidence as cited above affords conclusive evidence of a new manner of thinking in Canada. We have no room for Comâ€" munism in Canada, but the profit motive must become subservient to general welfare and a mum wage for sB male workers Girls and wome»y have long enjoy#@d protection in this reâ€" spect under aegis uf the Minimum Wage Board of Ontario. The time is ripe under prevailing conditions, such as Han. Mr. Stevens has outâ€"~ lined, to protect male workers in industry. He hag given concrete examples of absurdly low wages. | â€" WATERWAY TREATY DEFEATED GRAND JURY SYSTEM EDITORIAL NOTES A TIMELY PROTEST EVERY DOLLAR SENT AWAY FROM YOUR COMMUNITY TAKES NEKDED STRENOGTH FROM IT.

It was believed the building could be purchased for a small sum and then scrapped. ° MAY ERECT NEW ARENA According to statements made by officials closely connected with the K.â€"W. Hookey world, the old Augus tine Foundry building onoxxoen 8t. 8., Kitchener, has been looked over as a poseible site for Kitchener‘s new arena. During the summer months the cattle are stung by the warble fly, and as a result stampedes, with much loss of meat or milk flow, are comâ€" mon. The egg hatch and grubs make their way into the back of the aniâ€" mal from which the fly forms, emergâ€" ing through the hide in the late epring. It has been found that rub bing the backs with this special wash destroys the grub and consequently the fly, thus saving the hide and preâ€" venting further infestation in the summer. It is estimated that three yeare will clean up the pest elther on individual farms or in large disâ€" tricts. \ Already there is considerable talk of compuleory province wide treatâ€" â€"ment, similar to measures adopted in Denmark, where the warble fly has been almost eliminated, Some idea of the extent of the present ‘campaign is indicated by the report that over 200,000 cattle will be treatâ€" ed this epring. In Oxford County alone, where Agricultural Represenâ€" tative G. R. Green is in charge of orâ€" ganization, 60,000 head will be cleaned up, and in Huron and Elgin, following local farmers‘ meetings, another 80 will receive treatment.

I es s Drive on Warble Fly Planned In Ontario All over Ontario farmers are takâ€" ing steps to eliminate the Warble Fly, report officials of the Canadian Coâ€"operative Wool Growere, who are working with groups of live stock men in the effort to check this pest, which is responsible for a lose of half a million dollars in hides alone and probably five times as much in retarding milk and beef production. Harrison, Ont., took one protective step when they passed a byâ€"law last week raising the license fee for Alâ€" satian dogs, the breed blamed for the majority of slaughters, from $7 to $17, hoping to reduce the number in the townehip. There is little that can be done in preventing such slaughters, auâ€" thorities agree. The vicious sheop killers have found access to the most tightly enclosed pens and pastures. They work at night, work nolseleasly and leave only a short trail of blood ‘behind. | The damage done by marauding doge to sheep flocks in Old Ontario has been estimated by R. W. Wade, Provincial Live Stock Commissioner, as at least $20,000. This is the amount of money which municipaliâ€" tles throughout the province have had to pay out in compeneation for sheep killed. Provincia} and municiâ€" pal regulations pormit the farmer whose flocks have been ravaged to apply for compensation and settleâ€" ment is made by mutual agreement or through a provincial expert. Care of the Farrowing Sow A little extra care at farrowing will often save a gréater percentage of the litter. Include some bran in the meal ration to prevent a feverish condition. A weak or ten days betore farrowing place the sow in a farrowâ€" ing pen that is dry, clean and free from draughts. Bed the pen with ehort straw. Keep a watchful eye on the sow at farrowing time but do not disturb or assist her unless abâ€" eolutely necessary. Provide a warm bran elop for the sow a few hours after farrowing, â€" Sheep Killing Costs Ccaron1cLs Rev. W. Pajerson of Preston conâ€" ducted the service at the Presbyteriâ€" an Church and Rev. E.
