, J Fin cement advocates World Farming Parley Manitoba Premier Suggets All World Experts Be Invited To Discuss Marketing Problems In the hope of overcoming mar- keting problems facing western Canadian agriculturists, Premier John Bracken of Manitoba will call a conference of experts from Can- ada, the United States and Europe. The meeting is planned for mid- December, Mr. Bracken says. The conference, to be held in Winnipeg, will concentrate mostly on the wheat marketing problem, Representatives of the leading wheat exporting countries will be invited to the discussions which will also include marketing of cat- tle, hogs, butter, honey, poultry products and fish, Prices Lower Than Ever "The situation is forcibly brought home to us in Western Canada this year when larger wheat-crops in the United States and Canada, and fairly substantial production else- where, has not been accompanied by a corresponding improvement in international demand for wheat, with the result that prices are now about half the level of a year ago. "The economical development of Manitoba and of Western Canada has been such as to yield large ex- port surpluses of farm products and to project the west extensively in- to the fleld of international trade and consequently we must give much more serious consideration to our export position and the basis of our trade with other countries, Captured By Police policemen Campbell, Fifteen Melville surprised wanted for complicity in two Ontario bank. robberies, while he was sleeping in a Windsor apartment.

Ontario Now Sees Value of Forests Former Provincial Premier Makes Reforestation Tour "This province is finally waking up to the necessity of conserving forests and passing them on to our children," E. C. Drury, former pre- mier of the province of Ontario, said last week in addressing 250 county councillors and county offi- cials representative of 19 counties in this province, at a banquet held at Angus, Ont, which terminated the first day of the conservation forestry and plowing match tour. See Mistakes "We are finally realizing the mis- - takes of the lumber industry," he continued, "who have been utterly careless of this province's future." Mr. Drury emphasized the effect that reforestation has over the con- trol of floods and rainstorms. "Why is it that the large Euro- pean rivers never overflow their banks and cause millions of dollars of havoc and our small Grand and Thames rivers do?" he asked. "It is because these countries know the value of reforesting certain areas and we are entirely ignorant of it," he answered in the same breath.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The Decalogue was giv- en 1498 B.C.; our Lord was in the temple talking with the doctors during the passover early in April, A.D. 8; his crucifixion took place exactly twenty-two years later, Friday, April 7, A.D, 80; the epis- tle to the Ephesians was written A.D. 64, Place.--The Decalogue was giv- en from Mount Sinai; the scene from our Lord's boyhood took place in the temple at Jerusalem; the crucifixion of our Lord occur- red outside of the city, probably a little way toward the north; the epistle to the Ephesians was ad- dressed to the church at Ephesus, the greatest city of the province of Asia of Paul's day, on the coast of the Aegean Sea. 1, The command to honor our parents, Ex. 20: 12. 12, Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. Of all human relationships that between parents and children is considered the most important and, as we shall see later, the most § fundamental.- Duty to parents stands directly next to duty to God and before all other duties to other people.. : . Foundation of Societ .Three elements stand out: re- spect, obedience, affection. However far afield society may develop itself as it grows away from its base, it must continue true to the end of time that the family is the -ocial unit; and that the principles of social order -- authority in the ruler, subordin- ation in the governed--Ilook back for ever to the home as their birth- place and their nursery. The training of the years ~ of obedience will affect all the choice of subsequent years; but beyond the period of control there must come that of individual responsibility. "46. And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47. And all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. Conscious of His Mission 48. And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? be- hold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing. 49. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house? 50. And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. These are the first words uttered by the Lord Jesus of which we have any record in the New Testament. It shows a consciousness, even in the boy Jesus, of a divine mission, of be- ing the Son of God. There is also here revealed a life-purpose. 61. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52. And Jesus advanc- ed in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. The par- ticular part of this passage which applies to our lesson is the state- ment found in verse 51 that Jesu} returned and lived at Nazareth in subjection to the discipline and authority of Joseph and his moth- er. The perfect response of the Boy to the will of God meant for him natural correspondence to or- dinary conditions. Even though he had communion with God more intimate, more uninterrupted, than his parents ever could have had, Jesus throughout his boyhood was perfectly obedient to what we call the Fifth Comniandment.

GIFT FOR BETTY LOU Betty Lou may soon have a little friend. Listeners have been whit- ing to Tommy Riggs suggesting a suitable companion for lonesome Betty Lou. The candidates thug far include the Dionne Quintuplets, Charlie McCarthy, a panda, Mickey - Mouse, Snow White, Donald Duck and a baby brother. Mr. Riggs, who fs heard with his imaginary crea- tion on NBC's Quaker Party broad- cast, is seriously considering giving Betty a unique gift, probably at Christmas time. STILL "MIGHTY MONARCH" Majestic radio advancements for 1939 contribute largely to the new conveniences which simplify tuning 'in short-wave stations by devoting a separate channel (914" wide) for each of the short-wave channels.

Farms Are Called The Best Market Increase in Rural Buying Power Urged by Head of Ontario Agricultural College Industrial Ontario's greatest untouched market lies in front and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! 27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. From the pulpit of his cross Jesus preaches to all ages a ser- mon on the Fifth Commandment. That he spoke to his mother would in itself bring infinite comfort to her heart; but he did more than that; he made provision for her. Eph. 6: 1-4. 1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2. Honor thy father and mother (which is the first com- mandment with promise), 3. that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nur- ture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord. The Christian religion penetrates into every part of human lire. 'has just started of its doorstep, but governments and business men must co-operate in increasing the farmer's present limited buying power by seeing that he got a fair return for his products, Dr. George Irving Chris- tie, president of the Ontario Ag- ricultural College, Guelr?, told the Toronto Electric Club last week, He said there were 100,000 On- tario farms with crippled produc- tive powers because farmers could not afford hired help and had no access to electricity--the only oth- er means of running their farms. If power lines were extended into many rural areas, farmers could substitute electricity for manpow- er, using pumps, washing mach- ines and many other devices.

Hon. T. B., McQuesten, minister of highways, stated in an address to the Hamilton Kiwanis Club, Curb Mad Selfishness The agony of a child whose body has been shattered by the impact of a car is not less heart- rending than cries of an infant crushed by the explosion of a bomb, he said. "Safety depends upon the ris- ing up of citizens to demand that something be done to curb the slaughter which is occurring on our highways every day," contin- ued the speaker. "Unless this kind of support is given an administra- tion, its efforts can be of little value. Hope for the future is in voluntary efforts." Security of Home Is Modern Need Because Homes Are Cradles Of 'People Who Can Make Our World a Better Place To Live "In, Declares Woman Author. The world must be made a bet- ter place to live in and only from the homes can those come who are to make it a better place, suggest- ed Cornelia Stratton Parker, au- thor and lecturer, who addressed the Montreal Women's Club. "Where Shall We Go?" Mrs. Parker discussed difficul- ties of modern home-making. There was not the same feeling of permanence and security in the apartment or house separated only there had been when homes had their gardens and places for the children to play. Social life for young or old was more of a prob- lem in the modern home with its restricted space. Instead of young people thinking of home as the background of their social life the question now was "Where shall we go?" : Greatest Need In History The need of real homes is greater than ever before in the . world's history, declared Mrs. Par- ker, but it was being torn in every direction, as the world was out- side. One of the most important effects of the home should be psy- chological security, which depend- ed not on things but on persons, and the emotional bond binding parents and thei children to- gether. ihe Ee The production of commercial salt in Canada during the first six months of 1938 totalled 119,026 in the corresponding period in 1937. When The Hunted Chases a Hunter * % & 2 When wild game stalks the hunter that's news. And in the case of Albert O'Dell, of Del- burne, Alberta, it -evealed rare judgment in the pinches. O'Dell started out in ap- proved nimrod fashion. He did the stalking. He. crept stealthily toward what ap- peared to be a big Canada goose perched on a grain stook near Delburne. Then th. in- tended victim had his turn, for the "goose" was a skunk. The hunter backed away. The skunk stepped" from his perch 'and followed. The hun- ter turned, broke into a run. So did the skunk. The hunter glanced backward, saw he was losing ground. In desperation he whirled, and fired both bar- rels. A They Walked Home Mere 300 Miles If you were a hiker and at- tempted to walk from Saskatche- wan to Alberta you'd find it a long way. And you'd find it still longer if you had to coax sheep to walk it too, That's what two shepherds had = right across the prairies. They were hired by sheepfarmer T, Jsr- man, who bought the sheep and found the cost of railway. trans. port so high that he decided the only thing to do was to walk the sheep home--300 miles away! Manufacturing establishments in the Prairie Provinces of Can- ada numbered 2,610 in 1936, and had a gross value of production to do, driving a flock of sheep of $247,707,022, rr | THis Curious - - By William Ferguson #2 SNIPE A WEIRD FISH THAT BELOW THE OCEAN'S SURFACE.
