In an address .before the Canadian Club of Orillia a few days ago Mr. J. W_ Flavelle of Toronto declaredâ€"referring to high prices of food â€"that the packers or middlemen were receiving no more than a fair share of the profits to which they were entitled by reason of their business ability and enterprise. Farm- ers, he alleges, have not displayed these qualities, and have been encouraged in faultnnding and suspicions. Summing up, Mr. Flavelle said : It has been unwise in a high degreeto misread the lessons to be learned. from the middlemen who showed capacity and secured proï¬t. Farmers should not have been encouraged in faultflnding; but should have been encouraged in followé ing the methods modiï¬ed to meet their problems, which had given to the middle- man of capacity his success. Their attention should have been directed to the necessity of a wise expenditure upon capital account, for better equipment and better drainage. They should have been encouraged, and if necessary help- ed in the purchase of seed, and directed ‘ to an everyday, patient, persistent, unâ€" faltering effort, in order that to indi- vidual farmers “should come ameasure of success, and that the enterprising and capable farmer should secure reward as had the enterprising and capable middle- man who chose to follow such a course. What, therefore, is the cause for the present extreme prices of farm prod- ucts, and what the remedy '1’ Apart from the world-wide conditions affecting the price of all commodities, you will have gathered that I am of the opinion that the primary cause for the extreme price is a lack of enterprise and a lack of in- telligent industry in farmers the conti-- nent over. They have been encouraged, through all this period of agitation, to believe that returns would come to them through punishing some one else who was taking from them something that belonged to them. It has thrown a dead- ly blight over the progressive and cre- ative forces so necessary upon the farm. Enterprise, courage, hope, enlargement, have come to almost all industries on this continent except to that of the farm. There are fortunately many farm- ers who have as high intelligence and as great enterprise in their own ï¬eld as men have in any other ï¬elds; but the great body of farmers have been un- moved, and have gone on unreflecting as to the development needed to give them the advantage of the increased markets which were at their door, and the mar- kets which were open for their products at remote points. On the side of consumers, a remedy but little prescribed and more rarely taken is to be found in the better train- ing of our girls and women to know how to prepare appetizing dishes from cheap- er kinds of food. There are rougher cuts of meat which can practically be purchased today at about the same price as when cattle were dollars per hundred cheaper, and which hang as a drug in the burcher shops in this town, and in every to .vn and city in this prov- ince, because the women in the homes have not been taught and trained to make use of these cheaper cuts, so as to give food satisfactory to the palates of Work-people and others whose wages are insufï¬cient to meet the increased cost of the choiccr cuts. There is waste in buying, in preparing and in the ulti- mate use of food which calls for the women in our homes to learn the lesson of better judgment in buying, better ad- ministration in the home, and better knowledge how to cook and prepare foods. It will be news to the farmers, who work hard from daylight to dark, to be told that they are not industrious. They are as industrious as anybody, and they are sure to be intelligent enough to ask Mr. Flavcllc some questions that even a. middleman of his caphcity wiil be unable t9 answer satisfactorily. For instance, they} may°want to know what better 'off they would be to produce moreâ€"if thatsvere possibleâ€"and get less for it, which is what Mr. Flavelle wants them to do. Also if that is the goal and ambition of the packers, in their line. The farmers may also ask why, if the high cost of living is due to an insufï¬cient supply, shiploads of good fruit were dumped into the sea at San Francisco and large quantities. of cotton burned in the southern States, and whether such action is evidence of “capacity.†The workmen, too, whose wages, Mr. Flavclle admits, are insuf- ï¬cient to meet the increased cost of the choice cuts, will askâ€"have, indeed, for quite a while been askingâ€"why they shouldn't have as good meat as anybody else, and how it that the middlemen of capacity have not been clever enough to ï¬x the cheaper cuts up for their own use. They should be able to do so if, as Mr. Flavelle alleges, their profits in business are derived principally from products that have hitherto gone to waste. mâ€" Us, Too, Port Hope, Lindsay and Orillia papers are complaining that the post ofï¬ce accommodation in' those towns is in- adequate. Fenelon Falls is in the same class. The reason that little or no com- plaint has been made or requests for better facalities sent in is that it seems to be supposed that it would be no use doing so. In these days, however, it is very seldom that anything is got with- out asking for it, and in some lines it takes an extra good kicker to make any impression. It would do us no harm to present our claims before the proper authorities. Plenty of towns with less claim for consideration have secured proper buildings and facilities. Why shouldn’t we ? ' Cup Goes to ’Caygeon. The second and last round in the Bob- caygeon~Stanton Cup contest was play- ed off last week, Bobcaygeon playing at the Falls on Thursday, andthe Falls at Bobcaygeon on Friday evening. Bob- Qaygeon succeeded in pulling down the Falls' lead of four shots, obtained in the first round, securing a lead of eleven, thus winning the cup, which they will hold. until the Falls is able to win it back again. The rinks that went to Bobcaygeon from here not only had enjoyable games at the rink, but spent_a very pleasant time at the annual ban- quet of the Bobcaygeon club, which was held after play was over. Following are the, scores: AT BOBCA YGEON. G. C. Boyd C. Heard H. O. Boyd Dr. Johnstone B. Walker M. II. McCallum W. A. Davis, sk. 17 J. H. Stanton, sk. 7 F. H. Johnston H. Copp W. G. Smith J. R.

Bobeaygeon's maj. 11 The curlers met on Tuesday evening and discussed curling matters in general. It was decided to hold the annual ban- quet, as usual. The date was fixed for next Wednesday evening, at Northey's. Motions were passed thanking M r. G. 11. Hopkins, K. 0., of Lindsay, for the four pairs of cuff links donated by him, and also Mr. F. A. McDiarmid for his donation, before leaving for the west, of a pair of curling stones, to be competed for in 1911. As the schedule games this year are very far from being finished, it is likely that next winter there will be only one game with each rink, instead of two, as has been customary. This will leave more time for other competitions, bonspiels, etc., which it is thought will be more satisfactory than a protracted contest for a single trophy. Somervulle Council.
