You perhaps thought it was a pretty long mes- sage to send by wire. single day in The Toronto Star words. Yet the telegrams received in a 35,000 office average about That is, there would be three hundred and fifty mes- sages, each averaging a hundred words. Seventeen telegraph wires running into a special room in The Star office are required to transact the telegraph business of Thirty-five thousand words, the number telegraphed to The Star every day, is the number of words in a good-sized book. Not all of these thirty-five thousand words appear in the paper—for one rea- son, it would take too long to read’ them. But a staff of trained editors selects, condenses, and revises these despatches until, in the finished paper, there is presented, in the briefest and brightest possible form, all the news of all the world, In developing telegraph and cable services The Star has been a pioneer. It has never been satisfied with the telegraph and cable services received by it in common witk other newspapers, excellent though those services are. It receives exclusively a leased-wire ‘service of the CANADA’S United Press Association, one of thé greatest news- gathering organizations of the world. ft also has exclusive arrangements with leading newspapers of » America.to receive from them their complete cable services. This alone gives it: a staff of exclusive correspondents which would enable it to give com- plete world service even if the co-operative news- paper services went out of business to-morrow. In addition to all this, it has its own exclusive: staff of telegraph and special correspondents. More than half of the 35,000. words telegraphed daily to The Star are EXCLUSIVE TO THE STAR, This explain$ why its news services are regarded as unique’in Canada. It is one of-the many reasons why The Star has come to be recognized as GREATEST NEWSPAPER | The Star is always in the forefront of progressive movements—supreme in sports—a believer in the saving grace of humor——_a LIVE newspaper ——informing, entertaining, stimulating, and containing more and better illustrations than any other daily newspaper in Canada.

Donaldson’s Plain Talk at the Western Dairymen’s Con- vention at London. When one who claimed to be a | producer entered upon a vigorous de- fence of the conditions under which _the Canadian cheese output of the past season was sold, the four hun- | dred dairymen in attendance at_Thurs day morning’ssession of the Dairy- men’s Convention sensed an unusual situation and took an entirely new interest in the proceedings, The “pro- ducer” in question was Mr. Douald- son, one of the members of the Com- mission responsible for the sale of dairy produets at Montreal last sum- mer, and an actual creamery owner, whose product, like that of other mak- ers, was entrusted to the Commission, Mr. Donaldson’s talk—it was neith- er speech nor address—“‘hit home” more than any other since the con- vention opened. He made no pretence of oratory, but illumined his remarks with homely figures of speech that caught the fancy éfhis hearers, and with terse comments upon certain no the factions concerned that left no doubt as to his opinion of certain | Canadians engaged in one branch or another of the national cheese-mak- ing industry. ‘ ' “YT have seen reports in the press | to the effect that at recent meeting's Mr. Ruddick was blamed for the _marketing of your cheese.” he began “TI want to tell the dairymen of Can- ;ada that they never had a better friend than Mr, Ruddick. TI want you , to know that, as farmer’s representa- tive on the commission, I received ,more help in your interests, from Mr. | Ruddick than from anyone else. You blame him because you don’t know the facts. You don’t begin to realize | the conditions that prevailed and you don’t appreciate the difficulties under which Mr. Ruddick worked, let alone what he did in your in- | terest.’’ | , ._ Mr, Donaldson went on to explain the cause of the high prices that had prevailed in Canada early in the Season. The British government had had to cope with a gigantic tie- up of shipping, consequent upon the |great strike of dockworkers, could not begin to provide bottoms /for cheese shipments from Canada and New Zealand. As the strike | progressed the situation worked to Canada’s advantage, in that ew ‘Zealand had to be disregarded be- ,cause of its distance from the Brit- ‘ish market, Canada, prices soared to thirty- two cents per pound. All cheese in one and sixpence per pound, for the protection of the consumer, and as the speaker put it, “had things -been allowed to take their own course cheese prices in Canada would have’ dropped to twenty-one cents,” of Canadian or! | New Zealand make, had to sell for'| “Then came the British Commis- sion, composed of men entirely friend ly toward Canadian,” went on Mr. Donaldson, “They acted under or- ders, but they didn’t wish Canada to quit the cheese business. At great length they explained to us just why the price had to be set about where it was set. They explained it to my satisfaction then, and I am satisfied to-day, as the farmers’ representa- tive, that it was right. The cheese had to sell in Great Britain for one and sixpence or thirty-six cents, and they offered it for twenty-five cents in Can- ada—a spread of eleven cents, not : aes Memoriam on—In loving memory of ee oe beloved wife of (i John MacPherson, who departe this life January the 11th, 1919. - | A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. d in His wisdom has recalled : Sorin Boos His love had given; The soul is safe in heaven, : and sudden was the eall srreen so dearly loved by all: The blow was great, the shock severe And only those who loved can tell, The pain of not saying a last fare- an Wile, : ae Some may think that we forget her, When at times ee see us smile t they little know the sorrow _ That those smiles hide all the while. —-Sister, Father and Mother.

Some farmers said the spread was too much. Maybe so, but if the grocer in Canada has to have 15 cents per pound to live, how can the grocer over in England get along with less than five cents a pound? “I know this: that the cheese I sel] one day at my creamery a mile from town for 25 cents. per pound would be sold back to me on the next for 40 cents by the grocers in the town.
