SESE BERNE ian [EXTRACTS FROM ARTICLE | : 1H | On "HOW CANADA MUST MAKE THE PEACE GRADE" J. Courtland Elliott, of the Uni- versity of Saskatchewan. { J. Courtland Elliott, B.A., clate professer of Political my in the University of wan, and a well-known Kingstonian, has written an article in the Canadian Courier of April 24th, on "How Can- ada Must Make. the Peace and Pros perity Grade." Here are a few. ex- asso- Econo- to be fulfilled by every nation -on That phrase, too, like the | word "thrift," is indefinite and am- It is capable of misinter- | the money cost aloné of the war is ll! estimated to be well over two hun- Hl! dred billion dollars, the need for clear thinking and understanding must be redlized. Canadians must work not to create the fripperies and trumpery that the spendthrift mass demand with the easy money burning holes in their pockets. but rather the essen- tials that will bring in returns as In just such propor- tion as labor is now expended to make capital goods will Canada pros- per. = Nor must the savings from this work be invested in worthless stocks or in unproductive enterprises. It is imperative that every available cent be utilized for some necessary work. During the past year the great-. est amount of speculation in stocks in the history of the. North: Ameri- can continent was carried on. Frenz- ied financé must reach its limit, and the leaders In the financial world are calling for a halt to the expansion of unnecessary credit. Every burst bub- ble in the past has shown the fallacy of the 'get rich quick" method, but the lesson has still to be learned. "Work and Save" must not be mis- interpreted. Canadians should not only work and save; they should work to save. The time should be past when the man who pays the piper can call the tune. The world can't take a holiday from production of wealth for five years and expect good times to continue forever. A good proportion of the actual goods *| in Burope can't be blown to smithe- reens 'without subsequent 'suffering. It used to be said that any fool can squander his substance; it takes a wise man to know when he has reach- ed his limit. To-day, however, it does not réquire extraordinary wis- dom to see that more thrift is need- ed. At the present moment some countries' are at the extremity and, because the movement of goods is in- ternational, Canada, being more fa- vored, must build up a surplus for export to make up for their defl- clency. It is going to be a bigger job to put the house in order than it was to disarrange it. Canada is in the posi- tion of a merchant's store in a burned city block. Our business was not damaged so much as some of the others which were destroyed to their very foundations and we have great advantages. It is the firm which re- builds its place of business sooner than the others that gets the trade, but it requires sacrifice on the part of the owner to make the repairs. Canada is in the same posifion as the unfortunate merchant and oppor- tunity is knocking at the' door. The really trying times are ahead. Thrift 'is not the stinginess of which Jackson was thinking. It is the application of labor to produc- tive activities. It means the proper 'utilization ef; our resources towards the creation' of a.permanent fund of wealth-making godds. It involves not an absolyte curtailment of unneces- sary consumption, but a sincere at- tempt tb eliminate the purchasing of unessential geods and services which are diverting labor from the most necessary channels of production. Nor is Jackson the only one who has to practise thrift. It applies not only to the average Johnny Canuck, but especially to business men. Too many are calling for an expensive tune. The reaction from war will reap a whirl- wind if due care is not shown. Arti- ficial prosperity cannot last forever. At Brockville on Thursday Rev. W. A. Hamilton united in marriage Miss Margaret M.

ARE EXORBITANT, It Does Not Cost the Ontaria Farmer More Than Ninety Cents to Raise a Bag of Potatoes. Results at the Ontario Experimen- tal farms. _ On Saturday, April 24th, the Whig published an article in which the | Tesults 'of experiments on the Tadfan Head experimental farm were quoted. This article has been criticised on the ground that the resurts would not be the same in Ontario. When that article was published this was con- sidered but it is very evident that the differénce between the merits of the two provinces as potato-ralsing dis- tricts are not so great as to warrant the price the people of Kingston are asked for potatoes. However, that those who have se- HITT TTT rious douts may be satisfied, it can be easily seen from the latest report of the Ontario Department. of Agri- culture that the figures quoted are not as impossible in .Ontaric as is claimed. The experiments at Indian Head were conducted with the use of plenty of fertilizer. The Ontario experiments, using absolutely noth- ing but the natural fertility of the soil and extending over a period of five years, show that an average of 129.3 bushels per acre were pro- duced. Using ordinary cow manure as fertilizer, the average production was 174.7 bushels per acre. Added to that, in the season of 1919 the po- tato crop was entirely free from dis- THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG . ease. : The Indian Head farm estimated | that a bag of potatoes could be rais- ed for 45 cents with all conceivable | expenses until the. crop was stored | taken into account. If the Ontario farmers are allowed double expense | which should certainly be enough, | the cost to them is about 90 cents a as $7.00 a bag was asked on the city | market. Some very generously asked | $6.00 a bag. Roughly, allowing 100 per cent profit for carrying the po- tatoes to market, this still leaves a | profit of about 400 per cent. Those are the figures for Ontario, and it is to be hoped that they will be a Joy to the readers. ; | boycott.

If some of the thirsty ones could do without whiskey, which is costing them $6 and $7 per bottle, they might be able to buy potatoes. The man who invented daylight saving must have felt his ears burning today. There were many citizens who had a lot of uncompli- mentary things to say about him. The policeman on the "beat" Sat- urday night, benefited as a result of { the turning of the clocks, but the | constables who had to go on duty Sunday morning missed an hour's sleep and they did not favor the | change, After all the talk about putting the clocks ahead on Saturday night, there | 80, -with the result that they were | late for church, - And there were those who did not get to church.
