This is a new source of wealth for which the war had a great deal to do, as those who formerly oni vacation had a chance to discover Canada, while Europe not open to visitors. Wealth from timber and mine is larg - from capital account, the, timber never grows again precisel and the mine once exhaused can never be renewed. Even wealth from the soil is at times an encroachment on capital, if the soil is mined, instead of worked.

Avoid guch reprehensible practices as discounting their money 5 or 10% because they discounted ours after the war. There was a reason for their doing so at that time just as we discounted English money.

Unfortunately many are unable to see the Gold Dust in the air; they have not the right vision. . They should see Bentley, and see better. They say they are not interested or that they are not getting any of it, they are not taking "paying guests" or have nothing to sell that motorists are prepared to buy. For instance, a farmer, a man above the average of intelligence, said to me recently--opposing the highway policy which makes tour- ing possible--that it was no good to him as a farmer as only garages or hotels got any thing from it. A merchant in town would be'as consistent if hé opposed grain growing beyond what the home market consumed as no one got any of it except farmers.

Hutcheson, Manager hes also at Blackstock, Little Britain, Myrtle Station, Nestleton Station, Sunderland * There is a heavy fine for driving a horse with loose blinkers, as the practice is very injurious to the eyes of the horses, some being rendered blind by the constantly flapping blinkers. It is quite possible that a person might drive a horse with loose blinkers without thinking of the damage being-done to the . horse. But from the fine imposed by the law it is evident that driving with loose blinders is considered a serious offence. The fine is not more than $50,00 and not less than $5.00 and may be 30 days with hard labor Improper stabling forms the base of some cases--poor light and ventilation, poor drainage, cold stables, worn stalls which make comfortable, proper rest for the animals impossible (a spike may be sticking up in the floor where the Animal lies, or a broken board or sharp knot.) Cattle are subject to the same distress in the matter of stabling. = Qvercrowding of ears and true Ks in _shipping is another form of cruelty which the"society representative may remedy in drastic manner if he finds the need. A bad practice has lately arisen among some truck drivers, who fill the bottom of the truck with pigs and then put in a head of cattle to stand over the pigs. Crated fowl are required to have a square foot of room for each bird, sometimes they have been so packed that they have had only six inchies, and sometimes dead birds are taken out of the crate. "Lost or injured dogs or cats will be cared for where possible by the Society, and the animals turned over to the owners upon payment of the necessary expenses.

Ormiston, ex-Warden of Ontario County, Victim of Accident (The Toronto Globe) When his motor car somersaulted off a culvert to which it had backed after stalling, William Ormiston, aged 70 years, an ex-Warden of Ontario County, and a well-known stock breeder, was instantly killed on August 30th. Mr. Ormiston, who was accompanied by a cousin, W. S. Ketchum, of Toronto, had, éarly in the afternoon, left the resi- dence of the latter's father, Alex. Ketchum, at Brooklin, Mr. Ormiston intending to show Ketchum some of his cattle. About seven miles north-cast of Brooklin, as they were going up the. Stack Hill, the car stalled, partly due to.the fact that Ormiston was looking at some cattle on the roadside and paying little attention tothe car. Detached and talking to Ketchum, he allowed the car to back down the hill to the culvert. There Ketchum got out and noticed that one of the car's rear wheels was on thg edge of the culvert. He told Ormiston of the car's position, whereupon the latter at once started the engine. No sooner had he done so than the rear wheel skidded off the edge, and the car somersaulted into the ditch ten.feet below, Ormiston landing underneath "the car." He "was conscious, and was endeavouring to extricate"himself before Mr. Ketchum was finally able to release him. A few minutes afterward he was. dead. > Coroner Rundle viewed the body and decided to hold an in- quest, the date of which is not yet set. William Ormiston was born on a farm one mile west of En- nigkillen, near the line bétween the Township of Darling and East Whitby. A farmer all his life, he specialized in the production of fine horses and cattle, and had just this week made a large sale in Toronto. For seweral years he was a member of the Whitby Township Council, was Reeve of the Township and later Warden of the County. He is survived by his mother, aged 93 years, his widow, two sons and two daughters. dan sn (ne Com.
