Surely the farmers of this intelligent Province are'not prepared to take the bread out of their own children's mouths? It must be that they are ,conEent to live and let live. Granted that the country is essential to the town, is it not also true, beyond dispute, that the town has now grown essential to the country? In the old pio- neer days the farmers' wives spun the wool and linen, and, wove the homespun, and the farmer was able to get along in a rude way, and was more or less self-sufficient. Still, even then, the towns were necessary, and his simple tools were all manufactured for him. Now all is changed. He enjoys all that/the town affords, and is quite as much d,ependent on what the cities produce as those who live, in them. His wants and needs ere the same as those of the citizen. The fact is, we all want precisely the same things, and CN- change the product of our labor-whatever it may be-for them. Therels, very little difference in these days between town and country. The interests of Iboth are identical. Those who would put them into opposing," camps' are ill-advised. The farmer is as much a capitalist as the towns- man and farming in these days is a branch of business. The truth is that it takes just as much brains to fun a tarm as it takes to run a store or a fac- my. The farmer to-day IS a business man and arrexcellent one at that. He is our soundest and shrewdest investor, and has many points" in com- mon with our captains of industry. It is a no- torious fact that bond salesrrfen make a beeline for om: substantial farmers, and they know that heh’as as good an idea of sound values as any- body on the face of the earth: He gets caught, of course, occasionally, but no oftener than the thoughtless and greedy in the towns: indeed not nearly so often. His money irtcleah, hard mon- ey, and he is carefuLwhere.hf puts it. a Should it be necessary to say that he is deep- krinterested in the prosperity of the towns? he is, and for more than a purely financial reason. His deepest interest is a human, a family interest. His children are there,pmd, as a rule, are doing well, Some sentimttntalists regret this, yet all know it to be unavoidable. The tremendous Strides made in the manufacture of farm machin- ery enables the farmer to dispense with less help than'in the old days and produce more. Statis- tics show a constant increase from our farms, notwithstanding the drift of population to the towns and cities. This continent produces a vast surplus. We cann\ot eat all that is produced. When we get to the, points where we eat all that we produce, the tide of population will, turn again to the fields. But in the case of Canada that seems a long way off. In the meantime we have enough and to spare, and no man suffers from hunger. . . _ But the point we wish to emphasize, and when the farmer grasps it he will make short shift of the agitators who ere trying to enflame him against the towns and cities, is that our towns are the direct creation of the early settlers. The farmer has "given hostages to fortune." The bulk of his children pt this moment are ararrring their living in the towns, and anything that is done against the prosperity of the towns directly affects the well being of his own flesh and blood.

The farms overflotved into the towns, and every year fresh, vigorous young men and women set out to seek their fk'rrtunes in the great centres of urban population. And there is this to be said in favor of prosper- ous Canadian towns-those children are near at hand and can and do return to the oldJnomestead from time to time.

Thus, in the 1920 period the C.P.R. carried 23% per cent. more groin than the Canadian National, but this year the percentage was re- duced to t per cent. Between September 1st and October 20th, this yearpthe Canadian National loaded 42,482,- 000 bushels “of grain against 20,351,000 during the same period in 1920. _ 'These figures should be pondered by the Canadian public.

N dorsation of President Harding't; proposed con- ference on limitation of armaments. On behalf of the seven million British ex-service men who are affiliated with the League in various parts of the Empire, Field Marshal Earl Haig, presi- dent of the 13. E. S. L., wrote President Harding congratulating him on taking the lead in this all-important question, and assuring him of the support and sympathy of the men who fought under the British flag. N The significance of this; spontaneous action attaches torthe source from which it emanates. The lesson it conveys is that the men who know modern warfare from personal experiences are determined to secure the foundations of future world peace. In order' to perpetuate the peace, for which countless thousands gave their lives, the survivors of the Great War believe that a limitation of armaments is a necessary and ad- visable step. In adopting-this attitude they are actuated solely by humanitarian and common- sense motives. No one has a better right to ask and demand that every preventative be placed in the way of another world conflagration. It should be noted, however, that this stand does not imply a condition of pacificism which calls for peace at any price. Ex-service men the British Empire over are imbued with'that loyalty which finds instant response and readi- ness to uphold the traditional freedom upon which the very foundations of the empire rest. But their motto' is "Defence, not defiance." They believe that the nation which thinks in terms of war will, like Germany, eventually engage in war. And, having drained to the very dregs the bitter war draught prepared in the cauldron of international finances and political witchery, they are thinking in terms of peace. Hence their, support to the disarmament conference. . . A r 1L ‘Ln -,-.,.-,.' For three successive months the Canadian National Railways have shown a handsome surplus over operating costs. The August state- ment revealed the first surplus since the lines became Government property; September show- ed a still greater gain; and October (although the complete figures are not yet available) will pro- duce a profit that will confound the prophets of blue ruin. The change from deficits to surplusses is being achieved by the Government's policy of co-ordinating the lines, by the elimination of overlapping and by the effecting of economics. As these reforms become more and more per- fected still greater results will be shown. The Canadian National lines this year are hauling practically fifty per cent. more grain than they hauled in 1920. From September 1st to October 20th they moved 15 per cent. of West- erngrain, as against 37 per cent. during the cor- responding period in 1920. The C.P.R. trans- ported 53 per cent. as against 62 per cent. in 1.920. _ "'"Vi""-" -- - Those who are entrusted with the responsi- bility of discussing this question at Washington would be well advised tcrconsider the deep tsig- nificance of Earl Haig's message-The Veteran. Fortunate is he who understands the gospel of happiness, the philosophy of sweet content; who is a d votee of the religion of laughter. It was Ella "jj),"),?,', Wilcox who said: "Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone." A forgotten rhymster declared: "It is easy enough to be pleasant when the world goes by with a song, but the man Worth while is the man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong." Both of these are absolutely true to human nature. We would stumble through a dark forest to follaw laughter, but run from a grouch. We dread our friend's complaint about his sour stomach as much as we dread the plain- tive wail of a fretful baby. It is natural to love the sunshine of life and to dread its shadows and storms. How much does this trait in human nature, affect us in our business career? It has indeed so much to do with it that the only man who can really afford a sad countenance is the one whose fortune is already made and safely salted away in governs ment bonds. Can a solicitor sell you anything when he comes into your office with tears in his voice and tells you what a miserable place the world is? Never. Could a man get you to ioin an invest- ment if he opened the subject with a vision of gloom? Not at all. He would frighten you at the first word out of all possibility-of risking- your money. Can you get the best out of your associates and emoloyees when you come down in the morning with a bad grouch and snap off everybody?
