g a dills editor and proprietor teeephones- editorial and business ofica residence ts a fruitful field during a recent trip to montreal and adrive out into the country surrounding there was one thing which struck most forcibly the curves and winding roadways would be a most fruitful ground for the builders of ontario highways to straighten out the buildings at corners jutted out obstructing the view the roadways curved around the least obstacle and to keep to a level and while the highways seemed of fairly recent construction the modern straighten ing process has never beenjtried with any degree of success yet another feature was noticeable along these roadways which were not main travelled thoroughfares was the narrow road allowances and shallow ditches true the grass at the edge requires the trimming and supervision of the highway de partment in ontario but the wider roadway gives a more comfortable andjesscrampedfeelingand one 7 fear v if fear is dominating factbr in jifathen real success is impossible some people worry about their health v are always fearing a break- dowa some areaf raid r poverty instead of anticipating business success they are looking for- ward to losing their present job and being unable to obtain another the strange part is that vigorous young people with all of life- ahead of them are as likely as anyone else to be subject to these enervating fears fears may be classified as reasonable and unreasonable but if you- are doing your part all feare re unreasonable faith and ourage are an invincible combination and fear of any- gort is a handicap do your best trust in god and there is nothing to be af raid of wfc y x- 1 v business outlook the monthly business summary of thefbank of montreal recently issued has that spring optimism that can be found now everywhere it says the opening of navigation on the lakes arid the st lawrence is taking in some of the slack of un employment and agricultural activities are again coming into evidence therehas been a considerv able precipitation of moisture thecountry over and in the- prairie provinces the season opens with good crop prospect a full average harvest in that im portant agricultural section would everywhere change business for the better commodity prices remain chronicles of rer written opeelallj tor cq nuj aajj ijl gwendoline p clabke started to write this weeks chronicle with every- intention ot telling about a ewo incidental to seeding andabont the night we were up in the bush until nfeta7 reulng-tchrm- mcomted our little fox from the inside of a huge elm tree in tact i iial a page and a halt written but fh dear it read like a schoolgirls composition and the reason was that although i was thinking about whaj i was writing i was not writing about what i was think ing you see when you have never in this life owned a car and suddenly acquire one why it is a little apt to upset ones equilibrium now the cat is out of the bag i might as well go on with my confession or explanation whichever you like to call it because a car in times of de pression does need a little explaining one person expressed pleasure hat the wave of prosperity had struck us but it hadh tat least notsotriatwenotcd itabut the wave of necessityjias in fact it has given us a knockout blow to give the whole story away baqk in the beginning of time or so it seems i we bought a beaut secondhand top buggy and considered iv quite a smart turncut we did not need it much does not have the sensation that each approaching car will have scaice room to pass we rath r felt it unnecessary when that scenic curye was- eliminated on no 7 highway beyond rockwood but actually -ene-ean-secure-an-excess- of either curves or straight lines and if they cannot be had in modera we believe the straight lines on highways are prefetr- able a nofeible achievement a- ft another interesting item that came in the con vention itinerary was a visit to the beauharnois de velopment the beauharnois is very much in the public eye at the moment and a trip there was most interesting in common with a multitude of others we have been critical of many things in connection this project- we have felt that many things in regard to the financing and dealings with govern mental bodies were not of the right stamp the talk in millions seemed father a loose handling of figures in regard to these features our visit had little bear ing in making for a change of mind the gigantic undertaking was however a revelation we have seen many pictures and sketches outlining the de velopment but they are wholly inadequate the changing of the water route along the st lawrence ytrom lake francis arfd all the cutting of these huge f canals means the power house and canal which ijharverjeen built with the thought in mind of eventual ly producing 2000000 horsepower are beyond the descriptive powers of a pen true it would seem that ontario at the moment has more power than it can use to advantage but who can say that in the next twentyfive years even these developments will be worked to capacity to meet the demand it was our privilege to drive for a tour of the canal and return along a roadway that wjll in the next few years be ipundjated with a riverof water to develop power our thoughts if ewifoiaay and to morrow would be criticvjfpffiiis but when viewaf4vi 6 men un grat made

the past week the editor spent a couple of days at a newspaper convention in montreal editorials this week are bound to be colored by this expedition since much thought has been dwelling on events and incidents relating to the outing on friday evening h grattan oleary the brilliant editor of the ottawa journal was the guest speaker at the banquet his subject was reminiscences of his twenty years in the press gallery at ottawa from the days of 191 1 mr- oleary gave many irf- timate and interesting word descriptions of out standing personalities withwhom he had come in contact most of the personages mentioned have since died of areaol now in public life however them w hun a m came i for quite a flattering description of his powers in general discussion with several after the address it was most noticeable the number for commented on the tribute paid to mr meigrfen whatever the political shade or color of the other mentioned in the address if they had died or passed out of ublic life the most glowing terms paid them were rather taker without comment we have since wondered what sort of a discussion mr oleary would have precipitated if he had included in his description the hon r b bennett and hon wl mackenzie king fortunately mr oleary did not include these two prominent individuals like other news paper men he knew fullweil tatt is quite safe fc make complimentary remarks about an individual in an obituary but it often does not set so well when the bouquets are handed to the living we are truly peculiar folk have beeit better btnerwise but the men who sufei mount obstacles and win out will have added an- otter notable achievement in the development of this country for business then but it was necessary as a means of personal transportation then our farming expanded we had more cows year after year more poultry and incidentally more business aa we tried o build up a reputation for quality now hardly a day goes by without a phphe order for eggs cream or chickens and besides that we have our eggs and cream tq ship partner cannot spare unprofitably low but the disparity between produc ers and consumers prices narrows slowly thereby tending to restore an economic equilibrium the carryroyer of wheat will not be large exports of the cereal proceeding at a satisfactory rate but there remains enough in store to ensure good cargoes for shipping the carryover at july 31 is estimated by the dominion bureau of statistics at 103000000 bushels the smallest in four years the change fromotnrntavrwblertrrtrf v -j- a u a so the job falls to me lately l nave in the twelve months ending march 3ias compared with the corresponding period last year- an im provement of approximately one hundred millions of dollars has helped to check the discount on the canadian dollar in new york the tourist season is approaching last year this trade is estimated to have amounted to 250000000 and as the principal tourist travel is from the united states it is hoped this year may be as good almost taken my life in my hands- with every trip i made the buggy wheels wduw rattle three spokes were loose and the tires are as thin as paper the- whole buggy needed fixing and then if we spent twenty or thirty dollars on it we should still only have a buggy so we bought the car entirely on business principles but it lsnt a new fordj8 it isnh even a new 4 it is must i confess it a used ford coach the children like to give everything a name and asked what we should calt it i suggested that it might be christened the last hope however it isnt really so bad as that the car is really in splendid condition and we expect it to save us a lot of time apropos of time i have hardly had time for anything this week it has all been taken up with learning to drive the car partner absolutely refused a learn until i had done so as he said he was quite sure if he learhed first i should not bother to learn at all personally i am not so sure of that if a woman aits at home and- waits for a man o take her out she sometimes has to wait an awful long time now partner says he does not care whether he learns at all but i can tell already he will makea champion backseat driver so hoi will just have to learn then when he starts telling me what i ought to do i can just vacate the drivers seat in his favor millions go up in smoke a good deal of money goes up in smoke

buggy shed i mean the garagesr and partner got quite annoyed because i tried to take the driving shed wall along with me such a little thing to get annoyed about after all a person has to learn then there is a small bridge in the lane to navigate 1 nn take it beautifully now but once or twice i came over on three wheels the fourth one coming along on its own in the dtch and then partner started talking about breaking springs arid axles and a few unpleasant things like that really i began to feel quite hurt bui i was far too busy with the wheel and those other mysterious contraptions to think cut any a r thej best i could do was to say airfrlghtv you wait until you start and then to tease me partner is forever whistling the military- short revieljet will probably see the eohnectiontween our car and the short revlelle so long as he doesnt have to whistle the last post i guess we will be al right so thats that we have got a car and oh boy its a grand and glorious feeling not to have to worry about a horse in town and to step out to church with shoes free from dust and a coat that isnt covered with horse-hair- why it lifts a load of depression from ones shoulders that has nothing to
