RUSSIA IS EXPORTING BUTTER IN QUANTITY , Exports of putter from Russia during 1924 are expected to approxi- mate 40,000,000 pounds, as compar- ed with 10,000,000 pounds in 1923, according to estimates of the Lat- vian dairy interests. It is believed that exports from Russia will reach ‘their pre-war figure of 160,000, 000 sounds annually in about two years.

RETURNING CANADIANS Toronto Globe) During the past four months 18,- 870 Canadians returned to this coun- try from the ‘United States: The ex- odus of Canadians to the United States, of which politicians sought to make party capital, was an event of last year. It was caused by the temporary industrial boom across the line, particularly by the revival in the building trades. Thousands of building mechanics were attracted by extraordinary wages, but they left their families in Canada, with no in- tention of making their homes else- where. This year many of them have come back, and the slackening pace of industry in the United States has prompted the return of many Canad- jans who ‘went there to engage in other lines of worR. The attempt to show a cause-and- effect relation between fiscal legis- lation at Ottawa and the short-lived exoduseis a boomerang. No tariff changes of importance were made at Ottawa until May of this year, and it was last year that Canada appear- ed to be losing population extensive- ly to the United States. INSPECTOR SUES SCHOOL BOARD (Chesley Enterprise) Presiding Officers at Departmental Examinations are allowed $12 a day r J. to Fergus i Board, it was held over for invéstigation. But Inspec- tor Craig who has become badly sour- ed by several defeats in his efforts to re-enter the Legislature, though he has*a job already big enough for the average school inspector, brook no delay and promptly the Board of Education. His bill reads as follows: 10 days'ffttendance $120; thumb tacks $1.08; postage ‘5c; express 45c; interest from July 15th. 52 cents. J. J. is going to teach the Board of Education a lesson for nosing into and delaying payment of his accounts, The upshot of the whole matter will likely be a movement at the December session of Wellington Craig who has been dabbling in pol- ities for the past 20 years. Craig has the advantage of having a friendly government at Toronto and while the County pays more ‘nop half an in- Spector’s salary the embers of a vote dismiss an inspector. OUT ‘OF TOWN PEDLARS (The Clinton News-Record) “It scarcely seems fair," re- marks the Wetaskiwin Times, that the local newspaper office should be charged a business tax for the privilege of doing business here when outside printing firms are privileged to send their agents to canvass the business men and obtain orders without having to pay a cent to obtain the privilege. The prin- ciple is wrong and a change should be made whereby the travelling salesman should be compelled to pay a business tax in every town he does business in. Without such a tax the local printer starts out with a handi- bo a is difficult to over- This ‘wouldn't seem so bad if the vee printer was even given a chance o o6m Mmpete. But he isn't, in many alee. and the outside agent unloads an order on the business man, the size of which would have made him gasp if even suggested by the local printer. If all other citizens were as loyal to their town as the average printer is the mail order house and outside concerns wouid do very iittle business In many of them THE HOME PRINTER (Gananoque Reporter) There are so many ‘‘weeks” bein Started that it looks as if the fifty two weeks alotted to us will hardly prove sufficient for the world's needs. Before the entire list is spoken for, we would advocate a Be-Fair-With- Your-Printer Week. We are sure it is badly needed in almost every com- munity. In consideration of such a week, we would advocate the follow- ing principals: — our printer— make partner not your victim. Don't get prices from one printer and then submit same to another, hoping for a cut in prices, unless you would like to have the printers do the same with you when they are in the market for some article of mer- chandise which you carry in stock. Give your home printer a chance — you buy your printing out of him your - ° Tn ‘general treat him with the same respect that characterizes your other business dealings ana keep in mind the golden rule of business, 2 do on- to others as you would be done by. Having properly observed this wee the spirt of it may stay with you dur- ing the remaining fifty-one. Such, we believe, is the big idea of all these special weeks.

One of the delights of "wacatiattnds in England—and it is also becoming more and more true of the New Eng- land states—is the number of excel- lent inns. which dot the countryside, and in which well-cooked food, cool, clean linens, garden-plots,-and other of the amenities-and comforts of life, may be had. In Canada, on the con- trary, most of our country hotels, where they are to be had at all, are little short of monstrosties. Shabby, ill-kept, without facilities for good cooking, an too often uninvitin from the standpoint of sanitation, ventilation, and ordinary cleanliness, they repel, rather than haven the traveller. And it is a bad thing for Canada. More and more as the years go by this country should get. more tour- ists. We have unsurpassed scenery, and we have steadily increasing good roads. But we shall never get the tourists that we deserve to get, shall never reap the profit that tour- ist traffic brings, unless we act upon the timely advice which Mr. Mulligan so authoritatively gives us. CENTRAL HEATING PLANTS (Hanover Post) The city of Winnipeg has a central heating plant that has contracts for the heating of various buildings. It already has contracts for all heat it is able to provide this year. During the initial period it was thought there would be a loss on op- erations. But Mr. J. G. Glassco, man- ager of the civic hydro department, Says that the result will be that, if there is a deficit at all, on the years' operations, it will be a very small one. If the enterprise is a success similar plants are expected to follow. ere was a time when all the family’s bread was baked at home. large central bakeries supply the bread each family requires. Even in the country this is true. Home made bread is daily becoming rarer and soon will be almost unknown. The milk supply has had a similar history. No one thinks it necessary now for each family to keep a cow. Homespun’ clothes"and homemade shoes and sox are no longer to be seen. Is the time coming when the heating stove and the furnace will follow these articles into oblivion? The old coal oil lamp is gone. Our houses, at least in the towns, are now lit from central electric or gas cig re It is too much to expect that the heating stove and the furn- ace will soon disappear and give way to a supply of heat from some cen- tral heating station? It is not an impossibility. If it comes to pass, it will be but another advance in that social organization that has already become so complex and involved that daily makes us more dependent on one another and that is binding hu- manity the world over into one big o ROUGH ELEMENT AT KINCAR- DINE The Reporter) There is a roughneck element that cuts loose in Kincardine too fre- quently. The time has come when this must cease. Bootleggers race up and down our streets on dance nights and Saturday nights in a manner that will not be tolerated any longer The management of the dance hall has been forced to hire a man to guard the cars parked at the pavil- ion. Last Saturday gb the Chinese restaurant was the ene of a dis- graceful row aarried on by me young men who knew better. If they do not respect the families they spring from then The Reporter will hereafter publish the names of those who make a practice of carrying on this rowdyism. We regret that it may be our duty to publish thse names of some of our supposedly best friends, but we cannot any longer sit silent and tolerate this conduct. These young men come from the surrounding country and _ also some live in our own town. A meeting of citizens held this week declared against this element being allowed to carry on any longer. A largely signed petition will be presented to the Council asking that a young man be appointed night constable. blond have approached a citizen and pro ised him co-operation in cleaning Pol the situation. We want to impress those who have been playing fast and esos with the law that if the coun- cil acquiesces in the request placed before them that the new appointee will have behind him men who will back him to a finish and clean up that element that would give town a bad name. We await Council's action and then will vouch for it that the bootlegger and law- breakers will find this an unhealthy spot to carry on THE SLACKER VOTE (London Free Press) A concerted effort is being made in the United States to arouse the in- terests of the citizens in the coming presidential election and vigorous at- tempts are being made to bring to the port liana eltizen entitled to cast a bal severer —— without in- terest in any particular candidate are aiming to bring ont the he In Washington there has launched a “Get Out the Vote club, which plans a nation-wide movement, while the Boy Scouts, 686,000 strong, ” out the slackers.

An enlightened and interested elector seldom fails to go to the polls. This is equally true of Canada and of the City of London, The value of eompulsory voting or of dragging people to the polling booths is very doubtful. But there is a great neces- sity of educating Canadian people in the principles of responsible institu- ons, of teaching them the import- ance of our parliamentary institu- tions and of educating them on lines of better citizenship.

They see the defects in its adminis- tration, and have heard so much urg- ed against it that they have come to the belief that some form of govern- ment control would be more desir- le. 2 > People who have reached this stage of thought should observe care- fully the defects of government con- trol. They should see that it has op- ened the way to abuses in Manitoba in a short time that call for new and more stringent regulations. Govern- ment control is not all that the name implies. It means that the govern- men undertakes to control a traffic that Ontario has been seeking to a- bolish. It is not a step in advance. RATTLESNAKE FOR DINNER (Durham Chronicle) The following story has been going the rounds of the press recently, and, judging by the insinuation, is to be taken with a grain of salt “Tobermory at the extreme north- erly end of the Bruce Peninsula, from now on should be a popular summer resort. A party of tourists while out bass fishing, recently killed a rattle- snake. They promptly skinned the re fried it for dinner and declar- it was as good as spring chicken. The story is vouched for by repu- table citizens of Tobermory.’ To the writer, there is nothing pe- cullar in hearing of persons eating Tattlesnake meat, although we must admit it is‘somewhat out of the or- dinary. Some twenty years ago, while in Chatsworth Park, near Hollywood, California, we knew a man who al- ways looked forward to a mess of rattlers, and on at least two occas- ions were present when he enjoyed his epicurean dish. We must say we never experienced his‘ desire along this line and never partook of his in- vitation to “sit in.” never experienced any bad effects, and we are quite ready to believe the from Toberm A short time ago we read an ac- count in the daily press of persons being poisoned by wine from a cask into which some deadly serpent had crawled and was drowned. From our information on snakes generally, we were forced to the conclusion that the report was a fairy tale.

As- certain, from original sources, if you are really the manner of man you say you are; and if you are al- ways honest; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business. de- tails; if your life is as good and up- right at eleven o'clock at night as it is at noon; if you are as good temperance man on a fishing excur- sion as you are on a Sunday School picnic; if you are as good when you go to the city 4s you are at home; if in short, you are really the sort of man your father hopes you are pon your sweetheart believes you- ar Get on intimate terms with ruehene, my boy, and believe me,-every time you come out of one of those private interviews you will be a stronger, better, purer man.
