It is a proposal that is certain to meet with much opposi- tion. It will be freely admitted that been getting the worst of -the' economic deal, but it is doubtful it many of them eare to participate in any doubtful experiments in the way of governmental paternalism.

The situation is" very different now. Growers of the United States have a 'surplus of wheat estimated at 200.000,000 bushels, | and the former market abroad has been greatly decreased by the fact that Eurogean countries are supplying a larger proportion of their needs. It is estimated that Russia win have a surplus of wheat this year. The problem of the agricultural interests of the United States is a real one, but it seems reasonable that it can not be salved by hav- ing the government assume obli- gation of a paternalistic nature. It is strictly a business problem, and if solved satisfactorily it must be in a business way. NO PICNIC FOR NICKLE. Attorney-General Nickle has i1un into pecks of trouble since he suc- ceeded the much-abused gentleman in the Drury government at Toronto. Kingston's member was at once fac- ed with issues arising from the On- tarfo Betting Act. Then he had the O.T.A. on his hands, and has an- nounced this act to be enforced as well as Raney did it. Now along comes the Toronto Telegram, a Tory paper, with a demand that the attorney-general get after what it terms "the murderers of a bank," referring to the defunct Home Bank: It sayss Does the attorney-general of Ontario sit idly by when a man 1s murdered? . With all the safeguards and privileges that are accorded banks, it should be just as dificult to murder a bank as murder a man. And the attorney-general should be in the same position to pro- ceed against the murderers of a bank as he is to take action against the murderers of a man. The Telegram, which is a regluar "town scold,' Hike one we know over on Princess street, goes a little too far in its demands in this case. Any- way, the Hon. W. F. Nickie has liad no picnic this summer in Toronto. ---------- A GOOD KINGSTON SPIRIT. A merchant who was in two west ern Ontario cities last week, remark- ed on his return home that he would not trade Kingston for thé two put together. He was enthusiastic over the Limestone city, his birthplace and permanent home. Kingston certainly is a delightful place in which to Ifve. It may mot be such a bustling business place, but it is ideal in various ways. A drive about #t will show marked imprové- 'ments even in the past two years. Almost one-third of its highways are of permanent pavement. Its univer- sity and hospital have been greatly extended since the war closed, and it is now assured that Kingston will bo the grain terminal at the fool of the Great Lakes with big elevators erected in the %ower harbor. Tue workingman will yet reap the bene- fit of good times in Kingston, which will assuredly grow in extent wulh grain transportation activities and when the city becomes the Canadian National Railways divisional point between Toronto and Montreal, as must soon take place. not only from. the point of view of " tourist' bat by the bringing of farmers' trade from mcre distant points, 'through improved Farmers will come to the place the farmers have for several years i. would surely forgé ahead in busei- ness and industry, OUR SUNDAY DESTINATION«w We have heard the song about where' the flies go in the' winter time, Perhaps a song writer might come along and tell us where the people generally go on Sunday in the summer. time. For one thing they do not go to cdhurch--and we are speaking of the gréat majority. Two of Kingston's largest churches are holding united services during the summer and tthe auditorium of either will probably hold two hun- dred more than the total of the com- bined congregations who attend. To the country and not the church is where the people swarm. It is ae- diredly good to gather together on Sunday for public worship, but we] have it on the authority of a Pres- byterian clergyman, who once an- nounced from the pulpit to a some- what meagre audience, that he never criticized people for not attending church on a hot Sunday, for he had |, trip into the country was no doubt tha amid the beauties of nature more restful, and recuperated their powers more than staying in town to listen to him preach. So multitudes go to the green fields and the lakes and rivers for their Sabbath rest, ard | if they return refreshed after a quiet day, probably there are many other clergymen who will excuse them from the Sunday service. The min- ority, however, will sit in the church pew as usual, for public worship is restful to them. | | | | PRESS COMMENT nn -- Sex and Spheres. The world in which man can dis- port himself without fear of fem- inine encroachment daily grows.smal- ler and daily does the. motion of a woman's sphere loge its signin- cance. Not that the divergence be- tween the sexes seems to lessen. Women are still women and men men, They dress differently. "he olg theory "if women were turned loose upon man's ancient preserves they would cease to be women" has gone a-glimmering. There is now one sphere. There are still two} sexes.--New York Tribune. Arming For Peace. The policy of arming to the teeth! in order to obtain peace cannot suc-| ceed. indefinitely. It never has, and | it never will. If a few Powers try | to dominater Europe by armed strength, £here will inevitably be, in the course of time, a coalition of all the other countries for safety's sake. They will arm in turn, and once more Europe will be occupied by two groups arming ever more heavily at gver greater expense um- til at last the strain becomes too great and another Great War be- gins. Historically that result is certain.--Johannesburg Times. So---- Movies in the Antipodes, It is not only desirable from an Imperial standpoint that we should get Britain's pictures into the Com- monwealth; it is equally important that Australian films should be got into the United Kingdom, Percy Hunter, who, it is estimated, costs the Commonwealth igbout £10,000 Per annum, partly as an immigra- tion expert and partly as a Natlon- list electioneering expert, can never give this country a thousandth part of the publicity it would be well paid for providing by means of an established cinema' industry, The Germans have built up an enormous film industry by enjoining that for every foreign film which is released in Germany a German film must be released in the invader's country. The passing of such a law here would build up a local film industry in a very few years, and while It Was on its way those who now pat- tonize Yankee pictures would have Ng cause to spend thelr nights at home. All would be as before, save that imported Britis films would replace the foreign ofies which have 80 disastrous a monopoly at present, Sydney Bulletin, THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG secured instantaneous relief and was able to continue 'his daily employ- ment in comfort. As was menidoned in another article the exercises rais- 'thi on the toes, and walking on the sides of Che feet will usually bring up a fallen arch. , Many people whilst combing their hair, dressing or.undressing estab. lteh the habit of walking about the room on thelr toes or outer sides of the feet. Every time they descend the stairs they walk on their toes. You walk down stairs frequently so you can readily see how easily bene- fit may be derived. i; And so if 'you have a painful knee on the inner side, not due to a wrench or twist, take a look at your foot, and ! see if the arch is all right.
