When the GravoHhuist ssnitariiiin caso wa» uuder discus.sioa in Toronto recently, Fietihertuii officlaU were in- lorn-ic'l by the sanitarium representa- tive tiiat there were 27 other cases pendinfT againHt various other muni- cipalities throuirliout tile province for the upkeep of "patients. Think of it! Think of tiie great costs incuiT- ed in defence of these cases and then decide whether Mr. Drury was wise in placing such a weapon in the hands of a merciless corporation â€" a corpor- ation which does not even have to try to collect its bills from the patient or his friends, but is empowered to go direct to the municipal money bag for all the furtj^it wants. And still th^rc are recentacles plac- ed here and chere in banks throughout the courrVy, requesting that you "put your pennies here for the Muskoka â- pr.ee Hospital!" In the immortal words of that clarion political war cry, it is timejor a change. A I'UN MY WOKD! Can this Teapot Dome aflfair be called a Dom-e.itic ii««ndal? And will the fxciteiuent over "the Bond deal in Toronto I'eter out? Probalily not. The thing looks pretty black- smith.

None will escape them if the law in its present form remains on the statute books. • * « • . We are all anxious for the Owen Sound hockey boys to get home and settle down, so that we may have a cessation of adulation. We all know by this time that they won, and our ears are getting weary.

Hydro recently sued the city of Owen Sound for about $;{000,expenses of removing poles on the highway where the road construction work was being done. But Hydro received the surprise of its life wi:on the courts decided that its poles lu.-l no legal rights on the highway and w:tc there by suffrance. A little thing- like that did not trouble the Hydro organ- ization, however. It simply went to the Legislature and asked for legisla- tion to legalize the placing of its po'es, upon the highways. A bill to that end has received its second re:idmg !n the Legislature, but many of the mun- icipalities in Ontario have joined forc- es to prevent the passage of the bill, which hands our highway.s over to the Hydro to do with as they will. And Hydro says in effect : "Now, Owen .Sound, will you fight us again," There are some who seem to fancy That for gladness they must roam. That for smiles that are the brightest They must wander far from home. That the strange friend is the true friend. And they travel far astray. And they waste their lives in striving For a joy that's far away ; But the gladdest sort of people When the busy day is done, Are the brothers and the sisters Who together share the fun. The stick together families Are happier by far. Than the brothers and the sisters Who take separate highways are, The gladdest people living .\re the wholesome foiks who make .\ circle at the fireside' That no power but death can break; .\nd the finest of conventions Ever held beneath the sun, Arc the little family gatherings When the busy day is done.

Home seems to have solved the problem of fcternal youth, uud seasons roll over its head without a'dding to the age of the villa <'e. Per.sons age and arc called away â€" but Home pursues its course, changing a bit, yet unchanged in the essentials. If I can explain myseelf I will have done well, for I am not just clear in my own mind how to explain it. As a lad, the "present moment" was always an intense moment tp me. All the past was a road that led up to it, and from our own very youthfulness the place seemed somehow surcharged with youth. All the future leading down the years was but a trail lead- ing out from that, the supreme mo- ment. Peculiarly, the moment shifted and carried over from day to day, and sel- dom lost its zest. - There might be a time when one would dream into the future and vain- ly wonder what might be in store, and feel a dull ache in the heart, or a strange elation, as the moment dictat- ed â€" but a look around, and there were the same old trees waving their bran- ches with a futile motion, and the sparrows chittering by the roadsido that wound its grey ribbon into tho distance. These moments were physical man- ifestations; little atoms possibly, that went to make up the life of the vill- age; but yet they were not signs of ageing on its part. For long after ope had grown beyond such things, and maybe gone to test the future, the thoughts were thought bv later ones and are. But Home goes on. Buildings fall down because of momentary neglect, or burn because of momentary care- lessness, or are torn down to be re- placed by other structures. Once in half a decade a new building goes up. Periodically painting is done to house and store and barn â€" but always Home moves on its way unchanged at heart. ,Time was when Home was crudely pioneer; but time soon came when it became the (luietly flexing heart of an agricultural community; and time now is when it is peopled with school- ing children and ageing farmers who have left their nlows to end their days in quiet In between are tho.se who don't count, the fathers and the mothers who are, perhaps, momentary rocks of refuge for the youngsters, but who, almost before they know it, will become but landmarks to mark tho place of youthful dreams to those who have gone to build up ageing cen- tres elsewhere Back at home tho arteries of the village flex quietly, but out in the world where the young people go to throw their bounding cnerg â-  into life, the Hrtcrie.s ai-e hardened into roaring rush ''S' channels of trade, and all the fire of youth is called upon to drive the wheels. And the city grows. When one goes out from the paren- tal roof and leaves Home for his great adventure, which i.s life itse"' ho looks in his cgoiam to see the place droop and wilt and show its age without him; as the years move on and new memories close close in around tho old pictures of Home and seem to stran- gle thcni â€" then Home reems to be an ageing, drowsing place, â€" But it isn't! For if one but returns again and moves around the streets for an hour, it is to pick up bits of conversational gossip of the latest hour. Homo has not been living in tho days that you have dreamed: Home still lives in the to-day, as it did then, save that "to-day" alwavs keeps up its march at Home and never confuses itself with yesterday, as you have done. If one wanders down by the old pond, it is to see youngsters in the act of learning to swim. As they shriek, and splash and shout with all the in- tensity of a moment that leaves no room for reminiscence, nor dreams of the future, but demands the full atten- tion of the participants, one realizes with a shock that he himself has con- tributed his part not to this moment, but to the things that led up to thi.-.â€" THIS is the supi-eme moment of the village life â€" because it is to-day. And what, then, is the secret of Home's eternal youth? Who can tell? But who will say that it is net the fact that while the young men go away, , the mid<Ile aged grow old, and the old ' folk die, .still the children are always there, in endless succession. And still more, who, surveying the enthusiasm of the .sports of the days as they go, will dare to say that it is not fiom the successTon of children that Home derives its youth? CHEVROLET is Easily Within RcTach of AH \ ^ €» NEVER before in the history of the automobile industry has such a car vahie been possible. And it is possible now, only because the Chevrolet Car and Chevrolet busin- ess principles have been so univers- ally and so favorably received. Chevrolet production has, as a re- sult, rapidly g'rown in volume until manufacturer of quality automobiles, now Chevrolet is the world's largest Chevrolet quality is more than ap- parant. For, the Tnorc closely Chevrolet is eamined and the more severe tests demanded, the more convincingly is Chevrolet quality demonstrated and proved. ♦ Moreover, day by day continuous service brings out another economy equal, if not greater in importance, than Chevrolet's remarkably low first cost. Chevrolet is more econ- omical to operate than any other car built and its maintenance cost fs the to west in the world. Investigate Chevrolet yourself.

A. Armstrong & Son FLESHERTON Mr. Ed. LeOard of Glenside, Sask., in renewing sends us the following =:^- very interesting letter : â€" ' ^^ Dear Mr. Thurston : We had a big crop last year, but the low price for wheat and all farm produce has made it impossible to get ahead; also high wages and high rail- way rates arc far beyond the price we realize for our labor, but we will have p. whe.-jt pool this year that may help some. One thing certain, it canno' I>e any \:orse. I sold my crop for 7(c. per bu.; paid $6 per day for men besides their board; hogs sell at arouivJ $5.50 to ?6 perc wt. ' n an av- erage. It does not seem to matter how many oats we get, thTe never seen: ^ to be any to sell. Of course somo sow oats in preference to wheat as fie yield is large, and claim they . can -lake more out of oats lian wheat f by f iwing oats on summer- 'allow. A great muny ship cream â€" very few care to churn any more, a:: the store keei ?rs do not care to handle it. Bes des, the merchants here- are so higi; with their goods we r 'ulize very litf ' for butter. It appen- s there Is a n: rchants union, and the wholesale- ers set the price "what tl-.'y have to pay and what they must sell for â€" con equently we find we n.ust .sell for casli and send to the order house for our goods. A lot has bee.i said about patronising the home town, I lit when they combine against us what are we gaing to do We would noc mind a fair profit, but when there is a differ- ence of one dollar on a pair of p.ints, we have to sit up and tak_> notice. We got the best of material and the choicest of groceries and th- inferior goods wo get from our merchants mi^ke a person wonder that they are driving themselves out of business. We do not expect them to sell as low as the order houses, but there is too much difference in the prices and the quality of the goods. Everything is on a cash basis, anyway, so it is immaterial to us. So let them charge what they like. There are thousands of dollars going annualy to the order houses that the merchants could hold here if they would deal fair. No wonder they can send their families , to college while they charge such ex- I orbitant prices. j We have had an ideal winter, no snow or rain to speak of since before harvest. We have had no sleighing all winter, good wagoning, except a few days with barely enough snow to make sleighing. The wtather is beautiful, dry and clear; it is Just like spring all the time. I never witness- ( ed such a winter. There is a heavy stubble and we arc all anxious to have a good stubble bun. Of course that will all depend up.<;i the weather. If it keeps dry we will have no trouble burning, but if we can't get a burn it makes it bad for working and the stubble gives a lot of bother especially if we disc, and if we don't ilisc then we have weeds and we cannot plow all. Neither is late plowing any good and plowing down heavy stubble keeps the land open and dries it out. Long live The Advance. â€" E. D. LKGARD.
