Rockefeller is bringing up the children of the tenants on his Tax-rytown estate to habits of thrift by a. method of his own. At stated in- will be required to fill in blanks fur- nished by the fair, giving hame, date of planting, facts concerning soil, fer- tilizers, culture, spraying and so forth â€"â€"the whole history of the entryâ€"and no exhibit will be shown without such a record alongside of it. The manage- ment anticipates that there may be some hesitancy on the part of growers thus to disclose the details of their methods, but the directors are con- vinced that the net result‘will be a dis- play far exceeding all previous ones in educational value. ' Prize winning has, in many cases, lost its interest to \isitors because cer- tain growers have regularly carried away the ribbons, though casual visits ors Could not discover the reason why, If the Florida system of reports on culture is introduced it should operate to give some of the 01d exhibitors a run for their money. And this im-‘- provement in the educational aspect of the displays should be accompanied by more intelligent judging, The judge should be given suflicient time tervals, not too often to cut into his ,to prepare a statement concerning the fortune or cause a two-cent-aâ€"gallon raise in the price of oil, this pious old pirate, who has spent his life in an at- mosphere of commercial rapine and os- tensible religion, gets the children to- gether and gives each of them “a penny to spend and a nickel to save.” The words in quotation marks are his very own. They are the ripe fruit of that predatory wisdom which gave the world another notable saying some years ago, when he told his Bible class to look for “dividends of salvation.” Being redeemed appeals to John D. as it does to many other long-headed mil- lionaires, as a good business proposi- tion, an insurance policy for eternity, a sort of guarantee that the Almighty will let him pass the straight and nar- row gate in spite of the bundle he accu- mulated while on earth. ,Therefore, he talks a great deal about the plan of salvation, but very little about the spirit, and while he does not exactly become the cheerful giver whom the Lord likes, he becomes’a generous one on the ground that he needs an invest- ment in Heaven that will command respect there. ‘ Meanwhile hell can break loose among the Colorado miners for all John D. cares. With preachers to preach for him and other preachers to, hang on his words and jot 'down the precious seepageof his thoughts as if they were a' new Sermon on the Mount. John ..D_ Rockefeller no doubt feels that his views are pretty near right, and that Wall Street and the Great White" Throneare that much the closer for his being interested in both. It would be too bad to disturb the aged millionaire’s confidence in his powers as a spiritual guide. He would ”take it almost as badly as the loss of his wig,: or. a reverse at golf. He is old and rich, and 7 venerable on both counts. No one wants to contra- dict him. when he points out whata profit there is in mansions in the skies. the postage. But when it comes down to earthly affairs, to every-day busi- ness matters like giving a Tarrytown child six cents and telling him to jspend one cent and save five, we are ’bOnnd to say that this master of mil- lions does not short ordinary horse sense. He is giving- these poor chil- ldren a wrong idea. of values. If it’s Ian object lesson he basin mind, why does he insist on such 'a disproportion between expenditure and income? These Tarrytown boys and girls will grow up‘ to be American citizens struggling with moderate wages, and the high, cost of living, and when they fare, at their wits" end. to; keep, their,‘ little bank balances from dwindling they will look back to their childhood daysand the.’ precepts of the rich, * wise, good old ‘Mr. Rockefeller. who. gave them a'bum steer when he told them that they. could save five-sixths of their income and spend a sixth.

It has been announced that every display of-fruit and vegetables must be accompanied by a statement of_ cultural methods, The exhibitor fiiplacing of awards instead of being able merely to place the ribbons and disappear. It is sometimes a serious matter for a mediocre judge toexplain his awards, but in every community there are capable, interested men who would be willing to undertake the judging if they believed their work Would have educational value. Nothing stimulates interest in a competition like raising standards that cause the leading prize winners to look sharply to their interests, and, vice versa, nothing kills a. contest so soon as to allow the idea to go abroad that it is a foregone conclusion who will carry away the ribbons. ’ ' The War Peril in Europe. [From the Toronto Globe]. It seems incredible that the six great powers of Europe should be brought within measurable distance of a world- shaking war because a scatter-brained Slav fanatic in a remote corner of the Balkans took it into his head to empha- size the hatred of the Serb for the Aus- trian by killing the heir to the Austrian Throne. And yet so complicated has the system of European alliances and ententes become that Britain, France and Russia on the one hand, and Ger- many, Austria, and Italy on the other, may be engaged in a life-and-death struggle because of the untoward event, that resulted in the death of Franz Ferdinand. In death as in lifethe Archduke has proved a menace to the peace of the world. He it was who took advantage of Russia’s unpreparedness forwar fol- lowing upon the collapse in Manchuria, to tear the Treaty of Berlin in tatters and incorporate Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Austrian Empire, instead of con- tinuing to hold the provinces as trustee for the Turk. This was followed natu- rally by the alliance of the Balkan States to readjust the balanceiby taking some more of the territory the Turk was no longer. powerful enough to hold. Once more while they were quarreling over the disposition of the spoils of war Aus- stri, backed by Germany and Italy, stepped in and insisted upon the setting up of a pro-Austrian Kingdom in Albania with a German Prince as King. In this fashion did William of Ger- many and Franz Ferdinandâ€"the actual ruler of Austriaâ€"prepare the way for the Germanic advance to the Aegean, which has long been under contempla- tion, and which, if accomplished, would interpose’ a. solid pan-German bulwark clear across Europe, separating the Latins, of Erance, Spain, and Italy from their Slavonic allies of Russia and the Balkan States. The conflict between the Tenton and had its origin during the decline of the Roman Empire. When the Germanic swarms, from the north, Goth, Frank, and~ Lombard, took the reins of govern- ment from, the Romansthey were fierce- ly attacked. as were the Greeks of the Eastern Roman, Empire by Slavonic tribes, urged forward by the pressure of still,wildertribesemerging from the plainsofiAsia. Had the.Huns, a race of barbarians moresavage even than the Slavs, not settled where they formed a sort of buffer State between Teuton and Slav, and had the Turks not, emerg- ed from,Asior Minor, it is probable that Europe would. be Slavonic from, the Urls to the sand dunes of Holland. The Turk and the Hun have for six hundred years held back the tide .of Slavonic invasion from; western Europe ,andenabled the Teuton, to develop in military strengthaud grow in, numbers until now he feels. powerful, enough to demand. that pan:Slavonic.agitation and propaganda shall cease on: his eastern borders _and_that the Slavonic territory recently occupied; shall be given up- permanently to Germanic civilization. Only a race confident of irresistible might could afford to challenge. the Slavs as Austria has done during the past, week with the avoWed backing of Germany- It Russia fails to protect the Serbsâ€"4f the Bosnia surrender-is re- peatedâ€"the triumph of the-panTGermans will be complete and, humanly speaking, nothing can hinder the Germanic ad- vance to the Aegean. We are face to face with events that may affect the des- tinies of millions of people for a thous- ' and years -changing their lan age from Slavonic to German, their rel; ion from. Greek” Orthodox, to ' Cath011c,; and the Slav is an age- long struggle which , their centres of diplomacy from Bel- grade, Sophia, and St. Peter "’(irg to Vienna and Berlin.

The Ontario Department of Agricul- ture is engaged at present in preparing a pure bred live stock census of the province. This will include the name and address of the breeder ; the number of pure bred animals of horses, cattle, sheep and swine owned ; the number of males and females‘; their ages, i. 9., under one year, one year and under two, two years and under three, three years and over ; and the number for sale this fall. The information thus gained will be published in bulletin form and dis- tributed throughout the province. This will not only benefit the buyers, who will know just where to go to secure what they require, but the breeders themselves will get a good deal of free advertising. and this should result in more sales and bettor'salos., Those beeeders in Victoria County who would like to take advantage of this opportunityshonld supply us with the information mentioned abdve. We would like to have the list complete by Sept. 15th, 1914. Write to the Department of Agriculture, Lindsay, Ontario a... 9’9 Fenelonr Council. Council met at Cameron for general business.

Lindsay Post: A new racing boat ar- rived yesterday to take part in the Stur- geonPoint regatta on Aug. 3rd. It is one of the famous hydroplane models which have made such speed in the States. It is only twenty feet long, and flat on the bottom, so that only the stern rides on the water when it is going full speed. It is powered with a twenty-four horse- power Fairbanks-Morse engine, and should make between twenty and thirty miles per hour. The hull is built of varnished ma- hogany and has room for a steersman and machinist to look after the engine. Mr. iartland Clerk, of Sturgeon Point, who has two other launchesthat make pretty good speed, intends tt run this fast racer at the different'regattas held on the Kawartha Lakes this season. o-o-o ‘Lindsay Wants Radial Extended. Toronto Star: The town of Lindsay wants. the proposed Hydro-Electric Radial Railway to Port Perry extended to Lindsay, and a meeting of the Ontario Municipal Railway Association will be held; at Agincourt in about two weeks’ time, at which the proposal will be con- sidered. The municipalities affected are prepar- ing their by-laws and informing their electorates. Western Ontario is ablaze with Hydro radial enthusiasm, according to reports reaching the commissioners' office, and the railwayidea promises to spread as fast and far and wide as did the power and light one. Some time ago Lindsay Council passed a resolution requesting the Hydro- Electric to consider Lindsay's request. for the proposed extension of the radial}, to this districtsâ€"Post... ‘ . «gnaw - a
