chum harry bell came back home from a trip uptown- he was almost breathless as he told that there vas a wagon uptown running around the streets without an horses attached more wonder ful still there was no tongue on the wagon or shafts or place for a horse jceedless io say we lads followed it about town as it made calls at var ious homes and collected work for the plant in guelph then the pas

twenty miles an hour were talked about not on the roads in or about town but down on the racetrack in the park it was free ly predicted that the young men who drove at this speed were sure to he killed and as we recall the tires in those days its a wonder they werent the automobile was in fairly com mon use in the summer months about the time the first world war ended it was during that war that the air plane was occasionally seen and frequently heard about perhaps some of you will recall the marvel of a fighting machine that carried u knarhtne gun as its chief weapon the yur that

equal responsibility with the fanners in seeing to it that crops waste in the field while conunando workers have been going out from ilalton urban centres the response is far out of line with the need and far short of what was ex pected in certain other urban cen tres of the province it would appear as if they are taking the matter little more seriously var example in the town of brampton one firm is letting a percentage of their em ployee go out dally to the fields their wages are still paid by the firm and in addition the workers are re ceiving 250 to 3x00 per day their meals from the farmer it is not suggested that such an arrange ment could be put into effect by all firms butltdoes indicate at least that the management of that particular firm appreciates the seriousness of the situation
