BEST MEATS - BEST PRICES - BEST SERVICE THE SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM-- WHAT 18 IT? The Spirit of Optimism is not Force nor Energy but an indefinable Ray of -~Enthusiasm which like the Burning Bush consistently refuses to be ex- tinguished nor readily admits defeat and many a modern Moses has turned aside to see the wondrous sight. Tt has revealed itself in the most Isaiah, the Prophet of Messianic hopes stated "The Lame Shall Take the Prey" expressing the truth- that the most unlikely people capture the prizes id life, as_the un- . gainly tortoise beats the nimble hare in the race. A man is seen on London's streets a little more than a century ago. There is nothing about him to attract at- "tention except that he has lost an eye, . has an armless sleeve and carries a telescope. - He only appears to be a fit ~ "object for public sympathy. But he 1ooks for no assistance for he is none other than the Immortal Nelson, the idol of the British nation upon whose shoulders at Trafalgar the destines of an Empire rest. Who is this upstart who had the impudence to believe that with a hand. ful of soldiers and a few ships he can capture Quebec, the stronghold of the French, and secure & vast dominion for the British Crown. It was none other than the intrepid Wolfe who had noth- ing but his youth and his tremendous enthusiasm to commend him. Robert Clive was an unknown clerk in India. He ia about to take his life 'but changes his mind and captures the Indian Empire for the British, and so ad infintium. Jf America is another name for op- portunity, then the British Empire is another name for optimism. It has .achieved its cognamen through much tribulation. The way has not\ been easy, many mistakes, not a few fail-| ures but there is a destiny which shapes our ends rough hew them how we may. In early days the British Isles were occupied by the Britons then. the Ro- mans came, and after driving the in- habitants to the Welsh hills, and to Scotland and Ireland, they had to leave to defend their own shores after pro- viding splendid roads throughout the . length and breadth of Britain. Other nations, Saxons, Danes and Normans, came to the British shores, and, even 'if they did conquer the inhabitants, they semed to drop into the British Metling pot, that finally the conquer- ors became conquered and the British "prevailed in the end. Qy These nations brought their best and most intrepid sons so that the British race were composed of the choicest of the nations and have become the greatest colonizefs the world has ever known, One man stands out vividly. Canute from Denmark. His flatter- ers told him that he was so mighty that the waves obey him, he learned from experience that they did not speak the truth, That, however, has. not deterred the British people, If she could not rule the waves in one direction she. could in another until} she became mistress of the seas, the world's mightiest naval power. The most annoying thing to Britain's fdes is that she, a nation of shopkeepers, does not Kow when she is beaten, That "Thin Red Line" of which we 'are so proud is an actual fact. "The Charge of the Light Bri- gade was a mistake, but they brought back the guns. That lone officer of the N. W. Mounted Police who could face a whole tribe of hostile Indians and bring out his man 1s an every day experience. Britain has been learning the art of government for the past 1000 years and today with a handful of disinter- ested servants rules over the destines of many people, not only that, but they come in daily contact with the ambas- sadors of Hitler, Mussolini and of Stalin, also meet the representatives of China and Japan and Spain. But Britain is full of the spirit of Optimism, To a British coming home to London after many years of exile and seeing the S.S. Sir Francis Drake pick up the mail in Plymouth Harbour from the passing steamers (just a stone's throw from the green where Drake played). his game of bowls) a thrill comes and one's heart beats faster as he says, "this is my own my native land", "These optimsite Britishers are com- |: posed of the cold colonizing English, the warm hearted Irish and the shrewd calculating Scotch and they form a wonderful trinity, and a nation in whose hands rest the destines of mil- lions, and the Scots' sit in and seem to dominate the Mother of Parlia ments, the Scots rule the vast domains of about one-fourth of the globe. So long as the ideals of the British are as they presently exist, the Red Russian Revolutionary doctrines can- not thrive in our fair land, Canada has no room for them. Who can fail to be optimistic, mem. bers of auch a tace, how thankful we should be to be British --J, D. AE | 5 | nett. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Primer--Kenneth Short, Archie Bar- Miss A. Frise, Teacher Planting on the Farm Woodand. on the farm is considered --. an assest by most farmers. The ow- ner of 10-16 acre woodlot-is indepen- dent in regard to fuel and lumber for repairs and minor building around the farm. An agricultural district will grow better crops and living conditions are improved if 10-15 per cent. of the area is in woodland, It is a wind- break for the crops in winter and sum- mer helps to control floods by holding back and reducing the surface run-off. Woodland acts a as reservoir that tends to keep a regular supply of] water in the wells and springs. The area in woodland should be in- creased in many districts. and most farms_would be better if some plant- ing: was done. Each farmer should carefully survey his farm, and decide on the locations that should be planted. Very little planting is necesary or will be successful in a woodlot that has not been pastured for years, as nature has attended to the starting of a new crop of trees. Planted trees would be crowded out by the vigorous trees that have started from seed. Trees may be planted in a corner that has not seeded up or an evergreen windbreak may he needed on the north and west side of the woods. Planting will be successful in an open pastured woodlot. The plant- ing will speed up the restocking, and it gives the owner an opportunity to introduce valuable 'species. such as pine, spruce, walnut, oak nad white ash. White spruce, 'white pine and sugar maple will grow under the shade of light foliaged trees such as popular and paper birch. The trees in the pastured woods and underplanting under poplar do not require the 6 foot spacing that is recommended for open and planting as there willbe natural reproduction starting if the stock are kept out. i There® 'are areas on many farms that would be better growing trees. It may be a steep hillside that is difficult to work, or that is eroding. Sandy and gravelly soils are often a liability if they are not growing trees. There are small irregular fields that are cut off by a creek, road or railroad. Every farm should have a wind- break to protect the farm buildings. It improves living conditions by break- ing the force of the winds, reduces snow drifting on roads and around buildings if properly located and gives a beautiful setting for the buildings. There are odd corners around the farm buildings that are not and never will be utilized. These corners if planted would improve the appearance of the farm, keep down weeds and be growing something of value, Landowners in Ontario may secure free for planting windbreaks, planta- tions and restocking woodlots. Ap- plication forms and descriptive litera- ture may be secured by applying to The Forestry Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, tree nurseries at St. Williams, Midhurst and Orono, or the county agricultural offices. BEST EQUIPPED EXCHANGE IN AMERICA . Because a major stock exchange is an open market which can he used by any one in the world with money in the bank to buy or listed securities to sell, it was appropriate this week that the first day's operation on the new Toronto Stock Exchange floor should be started by R.-B. Pearson, the chair- man of the London Stock Exchange. The button he pressed on the floor of the world's oldest organized secur- ity market automatically released the siren that opened trading in Toronto, and that act is symbolie of how closely the world has been drawn together by modern inventions for trading and other purposes. The very first trade in Toronto, 100 shares of International Nickel, was still more symholic, he- cause all day in London, New York City and other great cities, Inter- national Nickel was bought and sold by people 'as familiar with the name as are Canadians. That again em- phasized the fact that this exchange is international- in its listings, in its services, in its connections, and in its organization, and it has to be in order to serve the Canadian community most of all. It is a sign that Canada's grawth that a large number of the companied listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange do an international business. The gold production by the gold mines has the most international of all markets, and copper, zinc and lead which large and flourishing companies mine do duty in many countries. The initial transac- tion in the new Stock Exchange was the sale of 100 shares of International Nickel between the President and the Vice-President of the Exchange. --_------e oor CHRYSLER PLANT AT WINDSOR CLOSED BY LACK OF MATERIAL Chysler Corporation of Canada, Ltd. officials announced yesterday Windsor plants would be shut down today, and some 2000 persons temporarily thrown out of work as a result of shortage of materials imported from United States plants now paralzed by strikes, , atl o : - YOUR OLD SEED DRILL WILL SOW FERTILIZER : the Modernize your old seed drill and save money.

Here he took up several hundreds of acres of land. When he was comfort- ably settled he and his good wife were not content to live as far away from the maddening crowd and a couple of years later with an extraordinary crop of vegetables and a much larger life before, Mr. Lee conceived the idea of sending a couple of large crates containing samples of his crop to the Brockville Fair (his former home) and stating that "These vege- tables were grown on land that could be purchased at fifty cents per acre", and all inquiries were to be addressed to him. WHhen the patrons of the fair saw the magnificent variety, Mr. Lee received letters from many interested and prospective settlers and was able to hand pick a splendid group who to- day are living in peace and plenty in Lee Valley, Ontario, and although Muy. Lee and his good wife have passed on his fine achievement still lives in the little community that bears his name. A few days ago the Hon. R. B. Ben- nett, who has recently. made a world tour spoke in Toronto of the empty spaces of our Dominion and also men- tioned the covetous eyes of other nations. Would it not be a fine idea if Mr. Bennett copied the foresight and originality of Mr. Lee and with his acquired knowledge of rich and poor throughout the Empire and with his capable leadership, his organizing 'ability and tremendous wealth if he |§ would invest $1,000,000 in Imperial interest and settle the empty spaces with hand picked settlers. Soon other rich men throughout the Empire would copy his example and he would retire C.P.R. looking for a suitable place for |: from the leadership of the Tory party with a halo of glory about his head, not only because of the good work he has accomplished in that capacity, but because worthy Canadians had been given a chance of making good. His investment would not only re- -imburse him financially but future generations would hail him as the man who came to the rescue of the Empire at the crucial moment of her career, Clark's Soup, [9MATOOR 2 £or 15¢ Medium Old Cheese, - Ib. 21c.
