It is the cheese factories that keep the farmers of Ontario going and it is the English market that keeps the Ontario cheese factories running. %) | Therefore the snnouncement that the differential price between . firsf and second grades of export cheese has been reduced from two .cents a pound to one is of importance to most farmers, and indirectly to most city dwellers.

The grading at Montreal has been regarded with suspicion and hostil- ity by shippers in many Ontario localities. The graders were accus- od of placing cheeses In the lower grade upon the slightest cause, apd evidently the shippers' complaints were not baseless. It would be in. teresting to know who has been quietlys pocketing that hundred thousand dollars which it is now ad- mitted was unnecessarily deducted. With regard to the. principle of grading for the export market only one view can obtain, Grading is the one gure way of building up an un- flagging demand. Once the consumer feels assured that he is getting ex- actly what he got before he will come back again and again. The astonishing business which Denmark has bullt Gp In the export of butter, eggs and bacon to Great Britain has, as its very corner stone, accurate grading. © Co-operative production has also helped greatly, By adopt. ing the same means, as indeed we are doing, Canada is certain to do at least as well. ------------ FRUITS OF MATERIALISM. Psychologists and sociologists, studying the mental processes res- ponsible for the epidemic of bandit ry and robberies, 'are united ip the belief that these most vicious cri. minals have become so through & perverted philosophy that life with- out great weaith is not worth the living, To gain that wealth they risk the life of others, dare the hangman's noose and face years of imprisonment. The fault is not essentially with the victims of this most fallacious logic. Somebody must drink the dregs of a soelety which founds hap- piness on material wealth and mea- sures material wealth by money in that guantity which allows of ex travagance and dissipgtion. Man is doomed when hé cannot find happiness and 'contentment in honest labor and ® Hving wage. THIS PROTOGOL.

From the belligerent shouts with which the Ottawa Journal rends the Whi m plea for.more carol singing on pects that his Christ mas shopp had been proving a little topo much for the Journal editor. There are moments in which anything that savors of Christmas is anathema. The "kind of caroling the King- ston paper favors is usually as ob- jectionable in practice as beautiful in. theory," he declares, and proceelis to sketch the abuses which have attached themselves to the custom In England. He cites carol singing at its worst, while the Whig was hoping to introduce the custom at its best. For while carol singing in England has sunk to the last stages of mendicancy, on this side the water it is just waking to spontaneous life. In many American cities carol singing has caught the popular faney--if nothing more-- and the singers who go about the streets would as soon think of pick- ing pockets as of ringing door bells for contributions. It is now two or three years since members of one talented Kingston family sang and played eg the windows of some of their ends, The incident remains to this day a pleasant memory in the neighbor- hoods where their music was heard, and is in a fair way to become a tradition. Ottawa may prefer Christ. mas nights of the original silent and holy variety, but this journal maintians that Christmas ecarolling is the ideal introduction to a merry Christmas.
