The Editorial Page IF'or a time, in some quarters, there rose a feeling that what the people desired most in ther newspapers was news, and the editorial page was a thing of minor importance, George Fort Newton, distinguished historian and ed'tor, told the American Poli- «tical Seience Association veeently, that this philosophy was passing and the editorial page was coming back into its own. "Today's edi- torials," he said, "explain, rather coerce. The editor undertakes tc re- ~Aate #n item to its general frame of] reference.

Motoring in Australia The cost of motoring in Australia is very much higher than in many other parts of the world, A car cost- ing approximately £170 in Canada, would be sold in Australia at about $400. The difference in cost is ac- counted for by customs dutg, prim- freight, exchange, and other charges. In .ddition, the price of petrol is much higher, being 1s 1d per imperial gallon. In 1911 the duty was one halfpenny per gallon for British and three-quarters of a pen- ny for foreign. Gradually this has been increased until now the duty is 714d per gallon.--Brandon Sun. - Pullman Porters How the railroads begun to em- ploy colored, gentlemen as porters seems "wrapt in mystery."

Six or seven years_ago when the railroads were really. prosperous the Pullman Company gave employ- ment to 11,000 porters, chefs and waters, but at the present time there are only about 7,000.

"I am asked," said Judge Duffy, "to assist the defendant on the techn'eal plea of infancy. If 1 did so I woyld consider that I was helsing him to steal the fox from the plaintiff. This I refuse to-do." This is sensible. On the precedent set by Judge Duffy perhaps the, custom will be estallish- ed of deciding every such case on its merits. --Ottawa Journal.

We understand that the mosquito control efforts undertaken in the vi- cinity of Orillia, a community im- mortalized by Leacock, have been uniformly successful.

Pictures Life ~-- Bit Fantastic Woman's Speaker-in Winni- pee Asks for Modern Gilbert WINNIPEG--A modern life as fantastic ag a comic opera and nearly as hilarieys' was pictured by Mrs. Valance Diyfriarche in an address lere. ii } Ly on "This Gilbert and Sullivan /World of Ours," she stated, "We 'sadly need a reincarnation of Gilbert and Sullivan--a genius. who would make this somewhat criminal world a source of innocent ment." After dealing with the fact that Gilbert . and Sullivan opera was modelled on the pure Greek comedy written five centuries ago, and was equally pungent and democratic, she outlined some phases of modern life. . Extraordinary changes have taken place .in domestic life--companionate marriage, alimony for men; children taken on visits to see what 'ther quarters of the pcople being support- ed, submitting, and thinking the 25 per cent. should be ashamed to have enough money to do the supporting. "We make it easy for young cou- to marry and have a family, bag _skelief, but very hard for the young people on small salaries; we build large sewers and large hospi- tals, but have no money to build homes; 'we live in a world where everyone sings, that, too, making it more -operatic," said the speaker. She suggested scenes and lyrics for an cpera dealing with tendencies of today, and finished by explaining that a writer of pure nonsense and _satric comedy would have a more difficult task now than in the time of Gilbert and Sullivan. Those writ- ers made sober realities appear fan- tastic and absurd; a modern satirist must make fantastic and absurd realities appear serious and matter of fact in order to show what they really are worth.

Bell various departments of tural College, The business of farming is yearly becoming more and more. dependent upon facts that have been gathered regarding livestock and livestock management, crop production, soil management, disease and insect: cton- trol and business organization of the farming industry. Individual prob- lems involving one or more of these, and many other phases of agricul- ture, engage the attention of Ontario farmers from day to day. During the winter months there is a little more time for study of the most acute problems. Through this column farmers may- secure the latest information pertain- ing to their difficulties. To intro- duce this service Professor Bell has prepared the following typical prob- Jems to indicate the information which should be "given in order .that a satisfactory answer can be made. If, answer is des'red by letter en- close stamped and addressed envelope for reply. Address all inquiries to Professor Henry G. Bell, Room 421, 73 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, Ontario. J. H., Chatham, (1) Question:--We hear a good deal about Fertilizer containing extra plant food materials such as mag- nesia, lime, sulphur, ete. besides the usual nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash and I would like to know just how important these other plant food elements are in a Commercial Fertilizer. : Answer:--On certain soils, the extra or rarer plant_ nutrients may be of very great service, e.g. where sand-brown or premature yellow- ing of tobacco. ees, magnesitim salts havo been found to effect a cure. Magnesium is supplied in cal- cium-magnesium limestone (dolo- mite or in the form of sulphate of magnesium, Sand-brown occurs on very sandy soils. Sulphur has been found to be of great service -_ on onions grown on muck soils. It has also enabled' celery crops to withstand disease and make good growth. Borax on turnips--in ad- dit'en to manure or fertilizers has produced crops free of water core under certain conditions, while its use has not been effective in all cases. - (2) Question:--Some fertilizer sales- men tell us they have a lime filler in their fertil'zer instead of a sand filler and for this reason their fertilizer is worth more mon- ey. Please let me' know what you' think about this. - : Answer:--Dolomite limestone used as a filler in fertilizers will correct acidity of soil if used in sufficient quantity and- if the soils are not acid. Sand will not correct acidity. (3) Question:--Does fertilizer kept over from one-year to another lose any of its strength? Answer: --If fertilizers are stored in a dry place, they should not suf- fer any loss of plantfood if stored for a year. There may be some tendency for the fertilizers to get hard or set. Before attempting to sow fertilizers that have been stored over winter, they should be thoroughly sifted before they are taken to the field, so that they may drill evenly.

Welcomes Return ~ Of Spelling Bee Commenting _on_the revival of the Old. Fashioned Spelling Bee, Stephen. Leacock, Professor of economics at McGill University in a letter to The Montreal Star: "I am glad that we are to have the Old Spelling Bee back in the lives of the plain people of Canada and the United States. Be- fore radio was and before moving pictures were, in the days of the 'Little Old Schoolhouse,' the Spelling | Bee had its honored place. It repre- sented that combination of amuse- ment and intellectuality dear to a progressive people. ' The people on this continent could always read and were proud of it! They carried their tattered Spelling Books to the Fron- tier cabins. The book moved west first, and the teacher - afterwards. 'True progress', as my epigramatic friend, Sir Andrew Macphail, would '| say, 'is best achieved by putting the cart before the horse.' "All our great men on this con- tinent, our Abraham our John A, Macdonalds, achieved their first triumphs in a Spelling Bee. As a matter of fact, I was pretty good at it myself, my supreme feat of spelling "harass," "arras" and "embarrass" at School (Section No. 3, Township of Georgia, A.D, 1878) put "a. laurel wreath on my | head which T am still prepared to defend, I congratulate.
