fortune that means the downfall ot one puts another ahead the loss of a wise counsellor leads one younj fellow into all sorts of unwise extravagances while another realizes he must depend on himself and so develops good judgment and selfreliance the loss of money makes some families lifelong mourners al ways wearing crepe for the dear departed cash while in numberless cases such loss is the making of the young people who since they can no longer live on fathers money set out to earn it for themselves if you have gone sprawling over some object lying in your way do not lie prostrate bemoaning your hard fate it is not too late to climb to your feet and use the stumbling block for a stepping stone appreciated if uimppliuukxl in the desire for growth communities too often overlook the value of old and established industries and go clamoring after the new plants offering as sistance and not a word- of encouragement to the industries that are steadily expanding without any fuss or help we have had examples locally just recently perhaps it is because the baby industry requires coddling along and helping past the creepirg stage and the older children can care for themselves the older industries grow and expand once they are established seemingly of their own accord until too often their growth is taken as a matter of course whether their growth is recognized or not like the older child they are notfts the less appreciated and thehdpe is expressed that actons older industries may continue their expansion and be assured that their effort in their own growth are just as much appreciated even if we are a people not giv to muchapplause a fairtiized industry a little booklet published by the statistics branch of the ontario department of agriculture reached our desk the other day and proved a most interesting volume for instance the average temperature of ontario for fortynine years was given and we came to the conclusion that the wcuthcr is just about the same all the- way through according to records mj the seasons arc not changing very materially the facts of agriculture that pertained to our own county of malton were naturally he most interesting last year in halton there were 572 acres of full wlunt and it averaged 211 bushels per acre the market value was 11h02 oats to the value of wiohk were grown and barley of hkh1h was also a product of halton potatoes were also quite a crop in this county amounting to 70011 and turnips yielded 70015 to halton growers the alsikc sweet clover ul fa fa and hay and clover crop had a combined market value- of 1kh70h last year hero are the values of stock given on halton fai ms hores 712808 cattle 1070270 sheep 11 1180 swiiu 2hi0ll poultry 1501122 and here also are found values of farm cuqipment in all the counties and halton has a value of 11100121 in furm lauds 7000055 in buildings 240l in implements 2801014 in live stock on bund a total of 274-11- 500 so that fiirming is quite an extensive industry

electric car from acton to toronto on saturday night people all along the line seemed to feel that the passing of the final car on saturday night along the electric line signalleiln changing in the methods of transportation that was historical its regular toottoots and service became a part of the cveryday life of the community when it- severance came it was almost legarded as the passing of a friend as editor we took thatride to toronto as a matter of history there were gatherings at all the larger centres to see the last car go through and at a lonely cross road we noted a farm couple stand ing back hfty feet from the crossing and they waved a farewell iis the car passed along they were off the highway and the seveience of this means of trans portation meant undoubtedly quite u change in tluir lives there werent any tears men are not likely to shed many but a link of several years was severed apparently when the last car went over the electric line on saturdny night the conductor came for oir hat check as wo neared toronto aiid were in con versation with the acting superintendent and we requested the pasteboard as a souvenir weve had hundreds of those pink cardboards before but there was an unusual significance to that one the last to be issued from acton to toronto maybe it was that same foolish sentiment that made us be the last passenger to leave the last car instead of being in the usual scramble to be among the first methods and various ages undergo many changes but its queer how we are often loathe to part with the chang ing times sure there are going to be more means of transportation for getting in and out of acton than we can ever use there will be no lack of facilities its just pure sentiment but its queer the changes affect one chronicles of
