SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1929 THE FIGHT IS ON The election fight in the South Ontario riding is on, Last night, at a largely attended and enthusiastic convention held at Whitby, Frank L. Mason of Oshawa was nominated as the standard-bearer of the Conservative party of the riding, and made his dec- laration of policy. : In Mr. Mason, the Liberal leader, W. E. N. Sin- clair, will find a foeman worthy of his steel, and the electors are promised a kecnly-contested battle. Mr, Mason, like his opponent, has a long and honorable record of public service behind him, He has played a large part in theopublic life of the city and the county, and, like Mr. Sinclair, has attained the high- est honors in the gift of his fellow-citizens of Oshawa, South Ontario is fortunate in having, as its candi- dates, two men of the calibre of Mr. Mason and Mr. Sinclair. The fact that they are men of the highest type is. an assurance that the campaign will be con- ducted on a high plane, with obnoxious personalities left entirely ®ut of the picture, and the issues of the day given a full and a fair discussion, Between now and October 30th cach will have ample opportunity to state his case to the jury, which is made up of the electorate of South Ontario, and the hope of The Times is that when it is all over, it will be possible for both the victor and the defeated candidate to say that it was a fair fight, well and cleanly fought, NO SENTIMENT IN POLITICS "There is no sentiment in politics," was a remark overheard the other night at a political meeting in this district, the rem coming from a prominent, citizen of Oshawa. Id many respects, he is right, for political fights are very apt to find close personal friends lined up strongly against each other in an election campaign. In that case, friendships count for very little in the ultimate casting of a vote, but they should be made to count for a great deal in deciding what kind of an election campaign is going to be conducted. There may be no sentiment in politics, yet the sentiments of friendship should go a long way to- wards keeping political campaigns on a high' level, Men who are close personal friends may be bitter political opponents, but they will not lower them- selves to an effort to bespatter each other in the type of mud-slinging which sometimes characterizes a keenly contested campaign. The present campaign in South Ontario can be taken as typical of this condition, for the names of the men who are taking a leading part in the organi- zation work reveal the fact fhat there are men op- posing each other who are close friends personally, and are working hand in hand with each other in other projects, That condition gives rise to a strong belief that the campaign will be conducted in such a manner that when it is all over, there will be no regrets on cither side, and personal friendships will go on undisturbed by the enmities of politics. FIGHTING A HARD BATTLE | . No matter what their political opinions may be, the people of Ontario gencrally will give Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair. credit for the fight he is putting up in the provincial election, whether they support him or not. This is a thought which is put forward in an editorial in the Peterboro Examiner on the eve of his appearance in that city as a convention speaker, and there is a good deal in it. In the present campaign, Premier Ferguson is for- tupate in having behind him a splendid body of men in his cabinet ministers, ready and able to take from his shoulders much of the burden of active campaign- ' ing. Under these circumstances, it is not necessary for him to drive himself to the limit of human en- durance. : Mr. Sinclair, however, has no such galaxy of talent at his command, and he is himself shouldering the brunt of the campaign speaking for his party. The manner in which he has taken this responsibility on his shoulders has been such as to win admiration even from those who disagree with him entirely, A strong opposition is always a good thing in cvery legislative body, and as the lcader of the opposition in the last legislature Mr. Sinclair is delegated the task of acting as critic of the government's record. In doing so, he is performing a service which is high- ly important, even if he is being left to do it almost entirely by himself. { DAIRYING ON THE INCREASE During the last two or three years, there has been much agitation because of the falling off in butter production in the western provinces, and particularly in Saskatchewan. So strong has this agitation be- come that it has provided an important political is- sue, inasmuch as certain trade treaties negotiated by the federal government were blamed for this condi- tion, This year, however, the tide has turned, and butter production has shown so large an increase in Sas- katchewan that it seems as if the industry is again on the upgrade. For the first eight months of 1929, Saskatchewan produced 11,099,795 pounds of butter, as compared with 8,435,064 pounds in the 'same period in 1928, an increase of 31 per cent. In view of the partial failure of the grain crop this year, this increase in butter production on the prairies is of special int€rest. It shows that the Sas- katchewan farmers are not putting all their eggs in one basket, but are concentrating once again on building up a substantial dairying industry which will largely offset years in which crops are poor, In this lies the chief hope of the west. Wheat farming, or wheat mining, as it has been called, needs the addi- tion of the live stock branches of agriculture to make + a balanced industry such as prevails in Eastern Can- ada, and it will be decidedly to the benefit of the: west if dairying continues to increase and assumes a position of greater importance in that part of Canada. WILL CANADA FOLLOW SUIT? It is of decided interest to the people of Canada to note that the United States treasury proposes to recommend to the next session of Congress that substantial reductions' be made in the income tax. This recommendation is being made solely on the grounds that there are immense returns coming from this tax, and that it is providing more revenue than the country actually needs. And it is also important to note that since the last decrease in the rate of in- come taxation, the amount paid has shown a large increase. This latter experience has also been found true in Canada, for the reductions which have, in the last three years, been made by Mr. Robb in the income tax have on cach occasion resulted in a higher total of tax being paid, For some years there has, been a strong agitation for the abolition or further reduction of the federal income tax. Originally imposed as a special war levy, it has remained on the statute books because successive finance ministers have felt that it was necessary for the liquidation of the enormous bur- den of debt left behind by the war. In recent years, however, the finances of the country have improved to such an extent that the time should not be far distant when Canada will be able to follow the ex- ample of the United States, and make further and substantial reductions in the income tax rate. And even if that is done, there is no reason to believe that -it will greatly affect the total revenue of the Dominion, since all past experience points in the op- posite direction, Of course, Mr. Robb is an astute politician, as well as being finance minister, and it may be that he is saving such an announcement of this for the eve of the next federal election, so that, as was the case in the last campaign, there may be a "Robb budget" to make a campaign issue. HAPPINESS IN WORK An honest man is entitled to happiness in his work. It is the one sure sign that he has found his true vocation, He greets his work each day with a sing- ing heart and loves his business. Love is the great- est thing in the world, and love for one's business is. a prerequisite of success, It is the partner of success in life, One must like his work to do it well, and usually where that attachment is lacking, it is a case of the wrong job. The exceptions that prove the rule are those individuals who abhor work itself and those who can learn to love the work they think they are not fitted for. When a young man awakes in the morning with regret that he must get up and go to work, he may well understand that a vital necessity of success and happiness is not his, and that it is high time he change his philosophy of life, his job, his dict or his mode of living. He is certainly off the road that . leads to achievement in anything. Work brings joy to more people than any other form of human effort. Poor deluded souls lament that they must work, while they know deep down in their consciousness that they are getting more fun out of their work than out of their automobile, golf or radio.

The new Chinese government promises justice for aliens, but as justice in that country usually means execution, it will not be very warmly welcomed. Money counts for little when human lives are at stake, as is shawn by the tremendous outlay in the cffort to locate the mission fliers in the northwest. Lot's wire became famous because she looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. But many a motorist has looked back and turned into a ditch or a tele- phone pole, with equally disastrous results. If Liquor Control is a temperance measure, isn't it strange that the consumption of liquor in Canada should have increased tremendously since several of the provinces adopted it? The development 'of the W, E. Phillips Company of Oshawa is a striking instance of the value of research work in industry. Truly, science and in- dustry need to work together in this country.

Barton, M.D. DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAKE. FULNESS You meet people frequently who tell you that they never sleep, that they lie awake night after night and get perhaps but a few minutes sleep cach night, Now such thing as complete wakefulness fof any time, cven a few days, is so rarc that it is only seen in severe brain conditions, As a mat- ter of fact these "sleepless" individ- uals get more sleep than they think, but because they find themselves awake during the night, dream con- siderably, or have some difficulty in getting to sleep, imagine they get little or no sleep. » Now, although the cause of sleep is unknown there is nothing more im- portant to health than sleep and if you are not getting the amount you need the reason should be sought at once, There is the individual who has considerable trouble in getting off to sleep, sometimes it takes two or three hours, but finally he gets to sleep, and sleeps pretty well until morning. Then there is the type where the individual has no difficulty getting off to sleep, in fact can hardly wait to go to bed, he is so sleepy, but in two or three hours he awakes and finds it difficult to get off to sleep again, Now where there is difficulty go- ing to sleep it is usually because the individual has something on his mind, is worrying, and finally from sheer exhaustion he ceases to worry, and so goes off to sleep. Where the individual goes off to sleep readily but wakes during the night it is usually because he 1s not well, and is exhausted duc to some infection, perhaps is undernourished, After two or three hours of sleep, these physical causes that "iritate" his body. and mind become active again, and he awakens, The above types of sléeplessness and their causes may help you to go after the cause of your own sleeplessness. Remember, being too drowsy all the time, or wanting to sleep all the time, is often a sign of infection or poisoning from neglected tecth or constipation. Sleep is as important as food, so see that you get enough, but not too much. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) FREDERICK BEERS, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL BISCUIT CO, SAYS: That it Is unfortunate that youthful enthusiasm and pa tience are so far apart. The long journey from the former to the latter is over a rocky and perilous path, with many a bruise and laceration to the in between, Both are of great importance in the world of business and perhaps those responsible for preparing the annual flood of business aspirants for their life work may be able to inculcate in their minds a judici- ous mixture of the two which will not kill the former, but by means of the latter save those starting out on their business carcers from a lot of discouragement and disap- pointment that wil lotherwise be inevitable. Partial understanding that it takes time and experience to gain the ground work of know. ledge that will make them valuable to themselves or to their organizations should tend in some degree to offset the impatience that often results in shifting from one place to another in search of precon- ceived idea of rapid advance- ment in some field. Success as a rule does not come as a result of any particular bril- llance, or from some outstanding accomplishment which may never be followed up by others, but from a careful and continuous building along some definite line.

While the farmer himself has speeded up his work and reduced his own manual la- bor to a great extent, little has been done to ease the labors of the farmer's wife and family. The equipment with which the house- | wife is forced to work is often out of date as compared with the farm itself. The physical conditions un- der which the housewife does her work have not heen improved. Hence the mother on the farm passes her days carrying water in- to the house and waste out of it, and doing a heavy weekly wash- ing with a hand-driven machine, it indeed she does not. use a tub and INCOME TAX IN AUSTRALIA PAID BY ONLY A FEW Only 35,000 Persons Tax=d on Incomes of $3,750 or More . Sydney, Sept. 27.--~So widely distri- buted is the wealth of Australia that only 35,000 persons are taxed on in- comes of $3,750 or more, For several years there has been on foot movement from the higher to the lower grades of taxable income. Comparing the year 1926-7 with the year 1925-6, the greatest diminution of taxable income was in the grade $25,000 and more. It amounted to 26.7 per cent, The other grades in which considerable decreases occur- red were $6,250 to $7,500 (21.7 per cent.) The rates are so graded that apart from those who escape taxation al- together most of the tax is paid by a few, The Federal income tax vyield- ed $33,356,770 in 1926-27 and $28,248,- 230 of this was paid by the 35104 ersons whose taxable incomes were 3,750 or more. The 190,294 whose incomes were less than $3,750 contri- buted only $4,109,040, The rate of taxation increases so heavily as in- come rises, that 1,734 persons--thosc in the $25,000 and more class--paid more than three times as much as the 190,294 who were taxed on in: comes of less than $3,750, UNEARTH FAMILY OF DINDSOURS First of Their Kind to be Found West of Rocky Mountains Victoria, B. C,, Sept. 27.--A family of dinosaurs several millions of years of the Peace River east of Finlay Forks. by Dean R. W. Brock and other geological experts of the Pa- cific, Great Eastern Railway survey, according to advices reaching here, Evidently these enterprising mon- sters had heeded the well-known ad- vice to go west, for they are the first of their kind to be found west of the Rocky Mountains. In the past most of the dinosaur discoveries have been in the foothills of the Rockies in Alberta, Apparently the Peace River dinosaurs had emigrated through the Rockies by way of one of the northern valleys. A piece of one of the dinosaurs ribs was brought here by Hon. F, P Burden, Minister of Lands, who was recently in the north, but it was too small to indicate the size or type of its original owner, More specific in- formaion regarding the discovery is expected from Dean Brock on his return, DOGS KILL SHEEP OF MYRTLE FARMER Loss of Four Sheep Was Sus- tained Last Friday f Myrtle, Sept. 26.--Mr. Henry Mer- riman of Beaverton spent the week- end with his parents, A local farmer had four fine sheep killed by dogs on Friday night of last week. This is quite a loss as it is so very injurious to the rest of the flock to have dogs enter the fold and worry them, Mr, Gordon Pilkey has gone to Kingston where he is taking a course in civil engineering at Queen's University. The slight touches of frost last week and the ideal weather this week is making everyone speed up with the fall work, picking potatoes, cutting corn, silo filling and various other fall work is getting well on. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Timms and son, Frank, spent the week-end with relatives at Manilla, Mr, Will J. Cook and Rodd Bro- thers again brought home a number of red ribbons from Lindsay Fair last week. Rodd Brothers did well on their horses at Oakwood also, and Mr, Cook got the red ribbons on his team at Port Perry Fair, The church basement is being greatly improved and freshened up by a fresh coat of paint.

H, Davison, of the School of Mines, Cornwall, England and Honorary Secretary of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall found the assays of samples were satisfac- tory after a recent. investigation of the deposits, ' He was accompanied Newton A. Myers, head of the ova Scotia Tin Syndicate, Professor' Davison reported the district to be very similar, from a minerological viewpoint, to Cornwall, where rich tin deposits have been worked for centuries. There the tin is found in granite, with copper above in' the sedimentary rocks. Before one. could be absolutely certain of the possibilities of the New Ross property, said Professor Davison, it would be necessary to sink deeper to determine if the ore bed were sufficiently large to warrant development, He was optimistic the area would become a successful tin producing field. In this event the mineral wealth of the Province would be greatly increased, as Nova Scotia would possess the only extensive tin deposit on the North American con- tinent, Tin is produced in the Malay States, Bolivia, Nigearia, Tasmania, and Cornwall, The demand is rapid- ly diminishing the supply, and the present price is high. ADJOURNMENT IN HYNDMAN TRIAL Crown Asks Time Secure Witness-- Bail Totals $18,000 -- Ottawa, Sept. 28--The preliminary hearing on ten of the 11 charges of theft, obtaining money by false pre- tences and perjury, laid against George W. Hyndman, assistant depu- ty minister of the department of fi- nance, had been held when an ad« journment was ordered yesterday af« ternoon to alow time for the procure ing of one additional witness necd« ed by the crown in the 11th charge. A. G. Slaght, K.C,, Toronto, crown prosecutor, held that all charges heard so far had been sustained, The charges of theft and obtaining mon- ey by false pretences involve a sum of approximately $22,000. The charge of perjury, Mr. Slaght claimed, was sustained by the finding in the Hynd- man residence of a file, property of the finance department, after the ace cused had sworn in evidence given at an inquiry' that he knew nothing of its whereabouts. Evidence taken yesterday afters noon dealt with the shortage of $21,- 600 which the crown charges, had been obtained by the accused through false pretences and by. the manipu- lation of redeemed bonds for which the government: was made to pay twice, Witness testified that drafts were made upon bonds already" redeemed in order to cover up shortages shown in the audit of the books of the re- ceiver-general, These drafts, they said, had been made through requisi- tions bearing the signature of the ac- cused in his capacity of assistant de= puty-minister. Additional bail of $1,000 was: paid into the court as covering the addi- tional charge of theft laid against Hyndman yesterday morning. This brings total bail up to $18,000, to glad F.S INCORPORATED 185% ~ "BANK~TORONTO Head Office: TORONTO, CANADA Before you invest con- sult a Bank of Toronto manager.
