Marie Star: "There is no fun in the camps to- day at all," Adelard Chautiand told the Star in lamenting the gradual disappearance from the Algoma woods of the old-time French-Can- adian lumberjack. The Finns and Russiant m the lumber camps, he said, are gooa workers, none better, but they "get through their day's work and go -to bed to awaken to another day's work." So, declares this observer, much of the color that used to characterize the lumber woods has gone. It is perhaps, just another evidence that modern business technique is tak- ing the place of the adventurous spirit that used to permeate opera- tions in the bush. Those familiar with the entertain. ments put on by the Stult's Lamp Post Troubadours will hear of this change with regret. This group orf French-Canadian bushmen in their programs give the old bush songs, the chansons that have been handed down from the days of the voyageur, the dances with which the lumber- men gave snap to the evenings tn camp, the violin tunes that have be- come memorable, One of the yarns that an old-timer was fond of telling beside the stove of hin village store concerned a cer- tain municipal election of his young days. This is it: Two were after a vacant seat on the council. One was the local black- smith, and the other a convivial cattleman of some standing in the community. Both enlisted the aid of the pen, believing it mightier than the sword, to say nothing of fisticuffs, and some choice of campaigning lit- erature circulated. One of the black. smith's handwritten bills read thus: "I'm not a man as ever brags, But 1 tirex your wagons and shoes "your nags; 1 sharps your harrows and mends your plow. And I satifies all, 'cause 1 know ) how. "l also reckons I knows how to do a good job as councillor; so. strike while the iron's hot, like 1 does, and vote for me, boys!" Copies of this were tack:d in pro- minent places through the village and up and down the side roads, and the worthy smith's effort was judged 'a real smart bit o' writing, by golly'. Not to be outdone, the forthright cattleman also chew~d his pen, and caused the following to be. sent abroad: "I am not a blacksmith, thank heaven! But a man of herds of cat- tle, like Moses, the great lawmaker of old. Being in the same line of business, I believe 1 should make a good law-maker, too. You have been told to strike while the iron is hot, but them as meddles with hot fron are upt to get their fingers burnt; so I says vote for me, and, like a real cattleman, I'll. lead ye into green pastures where the picking is good." This lucubration was acclaimed as a perfect masterpiece, especially the last part of it, that promised so much in such elegant language. Needless to say this tooting of the cattleman's own horn completely downed the clanking of the smithy orchestra and Learn to Dance 25¢ Coln or Foxtrot & Waltz Btamps Beginner's Course at Home New 16-page hook, 30 photographs Write Dept.

' "All Men Use Them and Save Dollars Manufacturer wants to Introduce quickly, A Tax Pyramid . Detroit Free Press Writes:--Here, fellow- car-owners, are some figures for you to"think over. They are culled from an array taken by The Detroiter from findings based in pre- liminary reports of the United States Bureau of the Census on 1935 retail business, In the year indicated stations sell. ing gasoline and lubricating oil did a total net business of $1,961,780, 000. Out of this amount the stations turned over to government $806, 118,000 in taxes, $616,852,000 going into state treasuries and the Federal Government getting the rest: : The. net business 'transacted by the service stations was about 6 per cent, of the volume of all the retail business of every sort done in the United States, And if all retail business had been taxed as heavily as the gasoline and oil business was taxed the revenues would have 'been over $12,000,000, 000, an amount larger than all taxes collected from all sources by all gov~ ernment and subdivisions of govern- ment, One more point. Service station payrolls in 1936 amounted to $173,- 967,000. This was about 21 per cent. of the taxes collected for government by the stations. In other words, the government received from station proprietors nearly five dollars to every dollar given employees. A stranger in this Country reading these figures might excusably con- clude that automobile service stations are a government enterprise, doing business for its benefit. That. of course, is noi true. but it is pretty evident that government, without uny investment and without paying any of the expenses, makes a lot morc money out of the neces- sities the stations sell, largely to workers and others in moderate cir- cumstances, than any other sing'e factor in the picture does. » Crops Value Much Hicker $594.139.000 TOTAL Although yields were lower the ag- gregate marketing valve amounted to $5694,139,000 compared with $508,- 910,00 in 1935 High prices were chiefly responsi- ble for giving 1936 crops a i@fther value than in any yeat since 19:0, Although the wheat yield was down 44,000,000 bushels, an increase of about 25 cents a bushel in the price gave an advance of $30,000.000 'nm .ross value. The oat crop was worth $16,000,000 more due to a 16G- cent hushel rim: similarly ba ley production was up $19,000,000 more. * Decrease in value are shown for rye, peas, corn and husking. fodder corn and brain hay. but in the agore- gate they did not appreciabl, affects the relatively large increase for wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat. mix- ed grains, potatoes, turnips. hay and clover and alfalfa. ~~ TOTALS BY PROVINC.:S y provinces in order of magni- tude, the tota) values are as foilows with the 1935 figures in brackets: Ontario, -$156.213.000 ($132,086 000); Saskatchewan, $132,301,000 ($115,- 094.600) ; Quebec,$97,371,000 ($83.- 616,000) ; "Alberta, $97.,:44,000 ($95,- 732,000); Manitoba $51.451.000 ($24,- 486,000); New Brunswick, $20.214,- 000 ($14,642,000); British Co'umbia, $15,802,000 ($13,045,800); Nova Scotia $13,407.00 ($11,748.000) ; Prince Edward Island. $10.236.000 ($8,661,000). For the three Prairie Provinces the total values of the five principal grain crops in 1936 are estimated as fo!- lows, with the 1936 values in brack- ets: Wheat, $182,890,000 ($1566.945,- 000); oats, $42,399.000 ($41,417,000); barley. $28,236,000 ($15,097.000) ; rye, $1,644,000 ($2,095.000) ;flaxsced, $2,376000 ($1,611,000). The total value of the five crops for the three provinces amounted to $257,544,000 in 1036 as compared with $217.165,- 000 in 1936. ALL SHOW INCREASES All provinces show increases al- though the gains are unevenly dis- tributed, The increases in the Mari- time Provinces are largely accounted for by improved total values of po- tatoes, hay and clover, and oats In Quebec, oats and potatoes large- ly centribute to the increase in 1936. Wheat, oats, barley, mixed grains and potatoes in Ontario show large gains in total value. Wheat and bar- ley contribute $19,000,000 to the in- crease in Manitoba, while in Sask- atchewan the betterment is nearly all attributed to the greater value of the 1936 wheat crop. Althot gh the 1936 wheat crop in Alberta is worth $3,400,000 lees than that bf 1935, higher values for oats and barley more than offset this declinn and bring the total value for 1936 slightly above that of 1936.
