The appalling loss of life and frightful injuries caused by reckless driving in Ontario must stop I Motorists have been requested to be courteous on the road, but the death toll still mounts at an alarming rate. Reckless drivers must be dealt with according to their deserts, and to the laws of this Province. A reckless driver who causes death or injury is a criminal--just as much of a criminal as a thief; for reckless driving is illegal. Cutting in, passing on hills, excessive speed, driving slowly in the centre of the road, and all the other breaches of safe driving are to cease. RECKLESS DRIVERS BEWARE! Ontario has an internationally famous highway police force but they cannot be everywhere. Most accidents occur out of sight of the police. We therefore ask with all sincerity for the co-operation of public-spirited motorists to report to this Department instances of reckless driving. It is your duty to help check this wicked slaughter \t£ould be avoidedf-SJad the j women and children. Here is what to do! When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, make a careful note of the actual time and place and when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders. ontario department of highways Motor Vehicles Branch TENDERS WANTED TENDERS FOR GRAVEL TENDERS will be received by the undersigned up until noon, Saturday, August 14th, 1937, for tenders for graveling the road running north from W.

Take a look at Australia. Reports from that country state that unemployment has fallen from the peak of 30 per cent in June, 1932, to 8.4 per cent, which is almost the normal rate. The financial position of the Commonwealth shows a marked improvement. In twelve months the fund maintained in London to meet debt and other commitments has been increased by $50,000,000. Bank deposits total $1,535,555,000 (a record) and thev exceed advances by $225,650,000. Austrailian railways are making money. In the case of the Victorian system, return on capital earned during the past year was 3.2 per cent. That is better than the railways of either England or the United States of Colborne i eariw,<3 during the same period. 1 To the British investor Australia is ace high. How. with a population considerably smaller jhan that of Canada, has the Commonwealth achieved this position? For many years; limes have been exported to Canada and the United States from the British West Indies, packed in barrels weighing 160 to 180 pounds, and containing about 1,500 fruits. This" system of export is now considered undesirable, the modern view being that fruit should be pack-in 24 pound lugs (the standard tomato lug) and shipped as refrigerated cargo, so that the full piqufc cy and attractiveness of the fruit may be preserved. Advice to Farmers About Fertilizer During the past year particularly, several manufacturers of fertilizers have urged farmers to use other minerals, in addition to nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. These other minerals include calcium, magnesium and sulphur which are employed by manufacturers in relatively large amounts, while boron, copper, manganese, iodine, zinc, iron, etc., are used in small amounts. Though it may be true that some soils have become deficient in one or more of these minerals after years of cropping, it is believed that most of them contain enough natural minerals for ordinary crop needs, states the Chief Fertilizer Division. Seed Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. When there is a calcium or magnesia deficiency, however, dolomite limestone, ground finely, is a cheap corrective. Standard sulphate of ammonia and superphosphate wh'eh are the most common ingredients of mixed fertilizers, contain sufficient sulphur also for most crops. | Magnesium, boron, copper, zinc, io-id not dine, etc. are required but rarely and rity to cases of such deficencies may be of the corrected by a single application of iasures I the deficient substance.

And their faith would seem to have been justified. Australia may not be entirely clear out of the woods, but she is farther out of them than Canada. So far as this Dominion is concerned, the one policy our successive gov-ememnts have been able to apply to such crippling problems as the railway sinkhole and the topheavy administrative set-up is that of "waiting for the return of prosperity." Relative prosperity is here, but it doesn't seem to have done much in the way of reducing the nation's de- tvrtiliz the price of the substantially increased on t.

With immigration shut off there is no liklihood of there being twenty or fifty million people to spread the burden of taxation and debt in time for this or the next generation to share the easement. The simple fact is that, prosperity or no prosperity, the country's expenditures have got to be cut until they are within the capacity of eleven million people to carry.--Maclean's Magazine.
