KALEIDOSCOPE: For us away over here in Canada it's very hard on the nerves constantly having to re-adjust ourselves to a new- pic. ture of the world last week, to- "day, tomorrow. As each néw shift occurs inthe combinations of world powers, we are forced to ac- quire on the instant an entirely new set of opinions, predictions, hopes. : But what of those nations in Europe's theatre of war for whom the changing situation means more than a re-orientation of viewpoint? . For whom any move or realign- ment of major powers may bring terror, death, changed lives? -- NEIGHBORS: Keeping up with th times these days. involves watch- ing the map very closely, letting nothing escape you.

One or two jobs under way in North- ern Ontario are likely t¢ be com- pleted, but as far as the rest of the province is concerned, highway expenditure will be limited to es- sential repair works, ™0-- JAPAN'S BIG DRIVE: Military observers at Chungking, China, are convinced that Japan is planning a large-scale offensive in China during October. They believe that "a final attempt to subjugate China" will be undertaken with confidencé at that time by the Japanese because of the fact that the European powers: which for- merly provided assistance to China would no longer be able to do so because of the European war. A scale. not hitherto attempted is ex- pected, ~ . A, : ; GERMANY'S STRATEGY: Now that Poland has been subjugated, Germany's broad strategy is to bring Runmnia under its control, -.and to mashal Russia, Italy and Spain. as its "complete allies" be- tween now 'and next spring, the Guardian believes: This well-known Brtiish newspaper declares that Germany hopes that by spring the divisions released from Poland and Rumania will be in Northern Italy and that France can be taken by a German and Italian invasion - from. the south; while the Mediter§#ican "Sea and Northern Africa will be made in- secure for the western powers with the lelp of Spain, who by that time will have been brought into closer association with the axis. 'Twould miake little difference, of course, Lo the lines of this broad. strategy, - if, in the meantime, a European "peace'. had been con- cluded. Pearl Essence From Herrings Fish Scales Shipped To United States From New Brunswick --Deposits of Crystals .

A NAME FOR THE WAR No one has yet provided the war which started a few weeks ago with a distinctive name. so that it might be the more easily disting- uished from the Great War of 1914-18. The struggle of 20 years ago is still so fresh in the minds. of the people and the effects of it etill so apparent that' it has up to the present, been known largely as The War. Some term will have to be found to indicate the distinc- i Port Arthur News-Chron- cle. . Although tractors did not come- into general use until the war years, an English paper notes that there was an agricultural motor on Much pro- gress has been made since that date in efficiency and adaptability making them serious rvials of the « horse. NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER HAPPY DAYS AHEAD With the hunting season about to open, happy days lie ahead for nimrods throughout Ontario. A consensus' of reports from experts on the hunting. outlock in the pro- vince. indicates that prospects look even better than last 'year's suc- cessful hunting season. * In many parts of Ontario moose, deer and black bear are reported to be abundant. 'Among the dis- -tricts in which the outlook'is par- ticularly | good, especially for moose hunting, are Metagama, Chapleau, Nicholson, Schreiber and Nipigon. Ring Necked Pheasants Excellent sport for Ontario shot- gun shooters is promised this year as the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries completes its annual distribution of more than 30,000 ring-necked pheasants throughout the province. The birds will be released in townships establishing protected game areas and an open season will be declar- ed this fall, Killed On The Highways And whilé we're on the subject of hunting, let's say a few words about the astounding amount of game killed annually on the high- ways of this continent. After reading this note we trust you will exercise as much caution as pos- sible in driving through wooded areas in ofder to reduce the am- ount of wildlife destroyed by mo- torists. The Ohio division of conservation has just issued the following figures for game found dead on the highways of Ohio from May 21 to July 1 of this year: Rabbits, 2,620; pheasants, 463; oppossums, 414; quail, 361; deer, 3. : Admittedly, in many instances, . it is impossible to avoid hitting some of the smaller animals and due caution will unquestionably cut down the destruction of game.

Rural Ontario Will Millions More To Spend Have Rising Prices Due to the War Situation Are Coupled With Excel- lent Crops -- Wheat, Oats, Barley, Cattle, Sheep Cheese, Butter All Register Increases Rural Ontario will have millions more dollars to spend this year, Ex-- cellent crops combined with =a sharp rise In prices following the outbreak -of - war 'in Europe mean increased purchasing power for the farmer, more income for the gen- eral population, improved business conditions throughout Qatarlo, A three-millfon bushel increase in the fall wheat crop plus a 12¢c- ° Jump in price over last year means more than §3,000,000 to the Ontario farmer. Oats are up 12¢, barley, 8c. Cattle prices have risen sharp- ly. Hero {8 a comparison of prices as at September 14, 1939 and Sep- tember 14, 1938: .

This means much with Tre- spect to the price the growers will receive for their product. Tho total production for both burley and fluo-cured is up from last year due to Increased acreage. Tho. burley crop is estimated at from between 13,000,000 to 15,000,000 pounds, In comparison with last year's 10, 600,000. In the Empire market Can- adian tobacco has a distinct ad- vantage over American tobacco which is heavily dutiable, Cheese, Buiter Up Cheeso production in Onfarlo 1s up 2% ovor last year. The price per pound rose two cents between the middlo of August and the mid- dle of September to 13.5, which, however, Is no higher than the av- erage at that timo of year for the past six years, Butt& production fs down 39% but the price per pound at the middle of September had risen to 27c, the 1937 price, which was much higher than the averago September price" for the past six years.

But the future effect to tho farmer of such a good crop ig problematical due to- the uncertainty of export markets in the present war situ- atlon, Pears and grapes are quite good, and the peach crop is a bumper one, but again the possible curtailment of home consumption, It a-shortage of sugar for preserve ing Is experienced, may offset the benefits of these excellent fruit crops. ' Roviewing the agricultural situa- tion as a whole, it is unmistakably clear that the Ontario farmer at the present moment is in a better position financially 'than for many seasons past, He Is going to have more money to spend, and retail ers and manufacturers throughout the province will benefit directly, as result of his greater demand, Looking ahead right now, business is going to he good.
