What were the heads of the industry to do? They felt a grave responsibility toward their employees who had given years of efficient and faithful service and thousands of shareholders who had in- vested their hard earned savings into the plant. Two prospects were before them, either to go into bankruptcy or to make the best of a serious situtaion. They took the latter course. They took a big chance. They had trained men and had vast resources at their disposal. They could not let their old employees starve or embarrass the then overcrowded labour market. They set to work and invested mil- lions upon millions of money into re- search work and were successful in changing a war-time industry into a peace-time one. They turned the spear, sword and cannon into pruning hooks and ploughshares until they have now succeeded in becoming one of the most peaceful equipment firms to be found throughout the length and breadth of the British Empire no matter what some of the Russian in- spired politicians at Ottawa may say to the contrary. This magnificent industrial concern turns over millions upon millions of dollars annually and gives regular employment to nearly 18,000 em- ployees in different parts of the world and its securities are sold and bought in all the leading exchanges every- where just because a group of enter- prising men had the foresight to grasp an opportunity that was loom- ing in the distant future. Today we are faced with the same sort of conditions. The outlook has been worse, and much worse. But where there is no vision the people perish. If a big company can see a brilliant future before it so can any in- dividual if only he has the mind to look. Of course it 'is easier to take the line of least resistance and to lay down on the job. When they told the great Napoleon that it was impos- sible ta reach a certain objective he ONAL HIN ey Saal, of RRA ARS exclaimed "Impossible' is a word found only in the dictionary of fools." Any loyal Brtiisher ought to say the same as Napoleon said. Wherever in any part of the globe can one find such opportunities at hand as are to be found in this vast empire of ours? Or where are more ample resources to hand than in this land of the Maple leaf? It may mean getting out and digging for it. Our fathers never knew what the word "relief" meant. But when they had achieved no prouder individuals could be found anywhere and rightly so. Who does not ad- mire the spirit that inspired them? One may not be able -to succeed in every situation but there is one line in which you may excel if only you will set to work to find it, How for- tunate is he who can find his niche and fill itl --Joseph Denny Bl ----------------- "INTERNATIONAL PLOWING MATCH DATES ARE SET. Simcoe County options 840 acres for famous event to be held October 11-12-18-14 on Minesing Flats, twelve miles north-west of Barrie, on paved highway No. 26. The dates for the 26th annual In- ternational Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Demonstration, looked up- on as one of the most outstanding yearly events in Canadian agriculture, have been set for October 11-12-13-14 by the executive committee of the Ontario Plowmens Association. J. A. MacRae, Lochiel, is president of the Association. The match this year is scheduled for Simcoe County, the site chosen be- ing Minesing Flats, between the vil- lages of Minesing and Edenvale and 12 miles north-west of Barrie. This location is ideal in the opinion of the committee, as it is of easy access by automobile and on paved highway No. 26 from Barrie to Collingwood. The local Simcoe County committee has been hard at work under the gen- eral supervision of Frank Higginson, chairman of the Agricultural Com- mittee of Simcoe County Council, and J. T. Simson, County Clerk. They have optioned 840 acres for the event. Last year's match near Fer- gus, drew over 100,000 spectators, with some-66 companies holding ma- chinery demonstrations. Information regarding this year's plowing match may be obtained by writing to J. A. Carroll, Manager, In- ternational Plowing Match, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. i TO ey i - ° Reach Council The regular meeting of the Muni- cipal Council of the Township Reach, for the month of April, was held on Saturday the 2nd inst.

Riddell, and District 8 Director of this Association Mr, J. B. Car- i michael, who have given junior activi- ties very enthusiastic support. lime will not permit a complete enumeration of many worthy agri- , cultural movements conducted or sup- ' ported by Societies, We know that conservation and reforestation re- ceived attention and several societies planted trees on the fair grounds or : elsewhere, The control of animal parasites and the eradication of disease were under- ! taken in several cases, The Canadian Lakehead Association is to be con- gratulated for leadership given in aisease control in the Thunder Bay District. A few days ago a letter was received from the Agricultural Society on St, Joseph's Island, out lining a comprehensive scheme for the eradication of cattle diseases. Many other subjects might be men- tioned, such as the sponsoring of Short Courses, field demonstrations and agricultural meetings. Agricul- tural Societies were well represented by members, at large gatherings ad- dressed last summer by Arthur G. Street, English farmer and writer. The change inthe front page of financial statement forms has brought much interesting information official- ly, to our attention. It is very grati- tying to note the number of years of service rendered by these societies, as indicated by the date of organization now shown on report forms, Within a relatively few years, quite a number will have an opportunity of organiz- ing centennial celebrations. Several have served more than 100 years and by the.way, we are. glad to report that the first Society organized at Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1792, now 146 years old, is still active. By the end of last week, reports had been received from 36 societies. Of this number 15 reported 1 project, and 10 with 2 and 3, while 11 societies had 4-or over. Atwood (Rainy River), Durham Central and Oro Township Societies reported b projects; the Can- adian Lakehead v and Kingston In-|' dustrial 7. The Future. " Many Societies with a long history of progressive achievement have reached a crisis, a parting of the ways, One road leads down to ex- tinction. I heartily support Mr. Page in the view that fortunately an al- ternative course is open, which will not only enable these Societies to con- tinue, but will permit them to con- tribute services which will render them indispensable to their respective -communities. The pass word to this high road to success must be "Every Agricultural Society a Service Clnb". Mr. Page has outined very clearly how a Society may re-organize and plan to render such service to agri- culture and rural life. That the sug- gestions made are practical is evi- denced by the fact that each feature mentioned has been tried with success by one or more Societies, somewhere in the Province. A crisis demands immediate ation What can be done? The following steps are suggested for your consider- ation. 1. Call a meeting of the Board in the near future for the purpose of hearing reports of this convention, and particularly to discuss this chal- lenge and suggestions offered by Mr. Page. 2. Decide to add at least one new project this year, based on the needs and opportunities of the area. 3. Select committees carefully, en- deavouring to choose members most interested in the subject concerned. 4, If you have no Junior Fair De- partment, give immediate considera- tion to the organizing of same, If additional information is required, contact the officers of a Society hav- ing a junior division, such as Barrie. 6. Attempt to increase membership as proposed. AA 6. To interest new members, ex- plore the possibility of prize list re- vision, particularly by adding more classes for commercial exhibits. 7. If you have not done so, make the Agricultural Representative an ex-officio director, You will find him one of your best friends in this new work, 8. In the election of officers and directors, keep in mind always the re- sponsibilities of this broader program. 9, Make sure your society is well represented at District Meetings, when plans for a greater. work, should be discussed. 36¢. to 50¢. each. glass 89c. tonic Morrison' COLGATE'S F LOATING SOAP 5c. cake, or 3 cakes for 1lc. 4 pS @® ' STATIONERY --One hundred boxes of stationery, regular SALE PRICE 29¢. each. ® ¢ 0 RUSSIAN OIL--40 ounce bottle with handle and measuring .
