In the same period 'of '1935 the number was- 80,896, '80 the gain is ten percent. In August the number of vehicles pur- . chased ad-anced by 9.9 percent, and the value 12.3 perceat, seeming to show that Canadians are huying more expensive cars. It is interesting at least, and pdssib- ly significant, to' ncte that in every province except Alberta more new cars were sold in August of '36 than in August of '35. Thus Manitoba has showed . gain of 36 percent, Saskat chewan of 29, British Columbia of 17. Quebec of 23, Ontario of seven, the Maritime Provinces of 11. Alberta sales declined by 13.6 percent. -- Ot- tawa Farm Journal. Speed In Education All parents wish their children to be smart at schogt. Some parents push their children ahead as fast as ir pos sible, and even urge t e teacher to give them special att ation, « that they will keep up with -- or excel their playmates of the same age. The Ottawa Journal thir' sg this is a mis- take, and goes on to .nake out no s°n- sible case against efforts to equal the records of the exceptionally brillfant students, / Nothing is gain ,v pissing them through the public schools too quick ly. The training a child receives in the primary grades ig"the fondation upon which it builds future education. The grounding cannot be too thor ough. It is far better to slow down the brilliant »upil than to rush the aver age child, or, as the Journal express es it "education in :'ower, broader doses mixed with play is likely to be better In the end than -~vhen taken in indigestible gulps." -- Chatham News. "Soaking" Tnem The British Government has collect ed inheritance taxes amounting to the equivalent of $4,843,770 from he estate of the late Sir Henry Well: come. The total estate amounted to $10,694,795. This Is a -izeable sum, even for the British Treasury -- and indicates the determination of gov: ernments. in these times to make a great estate hear an adequate share-of- the burden of public financing. -- Ha litax {erald. Hirt ~ Strange Indeed Lloyd George was * -e responsible probably than any other man outside of the I'rench states n for the harsh and impossible terms of the Versailles the Kaiser ar" drive Germany into the dust. And much of the trov' les of Ewrope to- _day are due to the attempts that were made to humble Germany and veduce her to th: status of 2a second-rate power. Lloyd George must ac 9t a great deal of the responsibilities for the blunders of 1919. Lloyd George has been visiting Germany and the mercurial Welshman returns aun .ad: mirer of Hitler, declarcs that Ger- many fs alin "ag only for defence in her extensive armament plans, de- fends the way she has broke: the Pact of Versailles and supports Hit ler's demands for a return to the German Empire of Memel and Dan- zig. It all sounds .ery strange com- ing from Lloyd Gec-ge,-the champion of democracy and Lib- alism. It is no wonder that the Brit'sh people cheer Lloyd George, but refuse to trust him with pow :r in thése trying days of peace. -- London Free Press. Education" For Marriage Preparation for mar.lage is about the last thing thought of in school:; there are no courses in home-making and motherhood. It is true that domes: tic economy is taught but. where Is the teaching relating 'o household economy, to home decoration, dress, hygiene. nursing and usie, all mat- ters which have a bearing on home- making? Marriag is ("e¢ most po 4 career of womanhood, and the train in for it is neglected in a large mea. ground the idea of economic indepen dence and to be prepardéd to achieve it, it necessary, is all very wal, but there is something even more impor: tant, and that is the making 6f good wives. -- Vietor'a Colonist Cannot Trust A Bull Frank torey, 1 farmer near Sea- forth i- Huron County. was badly in jured when.a bull'turned on him; We into the pen where the animal is kept, and with no warning fit turned on him, gored him badly and trampled on him.

But on this occasion the attack "came, and one can never tell just when that will take place, It is that uncertainty which makes the bull such g danger ous animal, And it is the long period when a man may work in the-pen with a bull and receive no injury which puts him off guard and causes him to forget that the attack ..ay come any time, and with no warning, -- Peter borough Examiner.

Here are some facts and figures about walking in the ordinary course of your day and mine. We do not vouch for their abso- lute accuracy, but they were given as follows in a paper read b fore the I»tional Association of Chiropodists and quoted in the New York Times "It is said that a housewife walks something like ning milesra day about her wor). \ business man walks nine to twelve miles a day in office hours A farmer at the >» - walks twenty five miles a--day.

But now that we're in the season of Muskie, Pike, and © Lake Trout, we can try them out this season. * In casting; a great many people make the mistake of trying to throw the plug (baseball fash: ion) with the whole body. This is wrong because the ac- tual throwing power is done by a quick forward snap of the wrist, Then again it seems to be the popular idea to throw the plug: out of sight. (If possible). 11 grant you that sometimes it is necessary to reach a spol that is impossible to approach except by a very long cast, Here is a startling fact. Niuvety per cent. of the fish caught while casting have been hooked (op casts between thirty . and sixty feet, i So try to ease up on the mus cle and put the plug where you want it, if only twenty feet away, The use of plugs is becoming. yearly one of'the finest and ost sportsmanlike . ways of stalking fish.

Tue 'most exciting episode occurred in 1897 when eviction papers were served on the Greer family. ; The Greer homestead was visited by Sheriff W. J. Armstrong and-a large party of police officers, Sam: uel Greer met them with a barrage of buckshot. After the smoke of bat tle had cleared away several casual ties were taken to the hospital ana Vith the defence relegated to Mrs, Greer officers of the law moved mm, seized the family furniture and loaded it on a box car. When they started to raze the house Mrs. Greer countered by removing her furniture from the car. Officers rushed back to the car only to find the staunch defender had repossessed the nome- stead. 4 'A parley was held. Mrs. Greer agreed to surrender providing the invaders caught and crated her chickens, and milked her cow, This was agreed to and for the next hour officers of the law were busily scouring the woods for errant chick- ens, i A t Alter the chores were accomplish- ed Mrs, Greer changed her mind and refused to budge from the family property. The battle ended for the time being with transfer of Mrs. Greer and her children to town. The fight - for possession of the household, however, continued in the courts. As late as 1900 Samuel -Greer was endeavouring to prove ownership to the property. He dled in 1925 no nearer a settlement than when the dispute first arose forty years before. : ----- | Oxford Press Acquires i Interest In Firm LONDON -- The Oxford Univer sity Press has acquired an interest in Clarke, Irwin and Company Toronto, and will be represented on the board of directors by 'Sir H.mphrey Mil ford and John Henry, it was learned here.
