Having been a resident of Ontario all my life, and my parents before ms, I displayed some resentment to the in- sinuation that the people of Ontario lacked so fundamental a trait of in- dividual and national character. He proceeded, therefore, to prBve the | statement by telling me the story of his financtel venture in the produce "I too," he 'sald, "come from, Ontario and regret the impression the West has of my native province as much as you do. 1 carried on a large produce business in a thriving town in Ontario for many years before coming West, and for some years purchased apples and other Ontario fruits for consumption in the province of Alber. ta. I was compelled to sell out the business a few years ago because of dishonesty on the part of the Ontario 'shipper. "For instance," he sald, "a friend of mine still carries on a large business in: Calgary, buying from Ontarfo.

You see the people of Nova Scotia are no more honest than those of Ontario. The reason the apples that were shipped to Great Britain were as represented, is because they are delivered through a co-operative selling agency and the agent claimg the right to inspect any box.
