Mr. Weir added the following comment: "I fail to find record of any protest, however slight, on the part of hon. gentlemen opposite against the action of our neighbour to the south in thus shutting their % to us, or any effort on the part of the Liberal government to have those barriers removed." _ Mr. King was afraid to do anything to protect the e of Canadian farmers lest he might offend S Americans. Efforts are now being made by the 4 * government to remedy the ills imposed upon & country while Mr. King was in office. Negotiaâ€" tions between Canada and the United States looking to a trade agreement satisfactory to both countries are the 1 SSING the Empire Trade Agreements, for b the Hon, R. B. Bennett is primarily entitled .. to credit, some interesting facts were presented by he Minister of Agriculture. The agreements are critiâ€" ted by many Liberal members, denounced by others and repeal promised if power is obtained by a few of the J outspoken. Farmers in the county of Peel who have 1 in the increased prices will bear testimony to eorrectness of the Minister‘s figures and will be surprised Libérals should think of interfering with 3u.

And taking the &wo years, 1933 and 1934, we have a total value of price improvement amounting to $31,080,877. But the public marketings, that is marketings through inspected abattoirs, are estimated to be approxiâ€" mately oneâ€"half of the total amount, and there is an increase in the price of the hogs that are marketed, outside the packing plants by the local butchers, because this price is set by the world mao that double the amount of holdings means f $31,000,000, or approximately $60,000,000. I should beâ€"glad if hon. gentlemen could give any other reason why hog prices and cattle prices in this country have increased in view of the fact that we had to find a market for so many more live stock because of the lack of any effort on the part of hon. gentlemen opposite to prevent our products from being shut out entirely from the markets of the United States." , "In 1933 the public hog marketings amounted to 3,205,418 head and the avérage dominion price Was $5 per hundredweight. In consequence of the Ottawa agreements there was an increase of $1.05 per hundredweight or $2.10 per head over 1982, or a net increase in total value of $6,731,378. In 1934 the public hog marketings amounted to 8,006,111, the doniinion average price being $8 per hundredâ€" m lhoving an increase over 1932 of $4.05 per Under 700 pounds Over 700 pounds . =, of the "economies" announced by the present Intario government in the earlier days of its Mv-fie‘mhdnv;lofmtoloul _ There were many protests against the suggested “’tht has decided to continue the as he . _ This information was given by : n Marshall at a meeting of the Ontario of Fairs and Exhibitions.

The clash of dominant personalitiesâ€"the matching of strength with strength, whether it be a duel of wills or of wits, of speech or of actionâ€"will always have the power to send a man home with nerves atingling and senses stirred by one of humanity‘s oldest passions. Whether we consider racing, wrestling, hockeyâ€"or ping pong, one fact emerges: no sooner does a champion arise than a challenger loom@in the offing. The conâ€" 5,569 men are now employed in the 25 camps under the Department of National Defence Unemployment Projects. Although 13 camps have been closed since Sept. 1, the total number of men employed at that date was 4,755. The men in these camps are all unmarried, and are free to leave at any time if more remunerative employment is procurable by them. The consumption of cigarettes increases from year to year. In 1934 no fewer than 5,000,000,000, or 400 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion. In addition to this there are many who "roll their own." Nearly every male and an increasing number of women use the weed. One wonders where the $50,000,000, the price of the cigarettes comes from. All this adulation springs from the lure of the conâ€" test. And from the same root springs our bias towards a challenger. For the contest exercises its fascination because of its uncertainty of outcome. No matter what the nature of a contest, it would be utterly devoid of interest were the outcome certain. Even Bobby Jones, had he remained invincible, would have lost some of his deserved popularity, Man of War, could it have won every race of its career, would have taken a lot of the thrill out of racing. Much was heard last year about the tax on gold imposed by the Dominion government. The tax yielded $5,883,711. The gold tax made possible a reduction of the sugar tax. It was generally believed that the proâ€" ducers of gold were better able to meet the impost than the consumers of sugar. HE Unemployment Insurance measure introduced by T Premier Bennett and now being considered by parâ€" liament, will offer protection to every worker who comes within its scope and furnishes that security withâ€" out the worker being considered an object of charity, something very many of those who have been compelled to accept relief in recent years have felt. The benefits will be much more substantial than many had looked for. Hence the favor with which the measure is being receivâ€" ed by prominent labor leaders and the support it is reâ€" ceiving by members of all political groups in parliament. Following is a simple example: ® Leslie H. Saunders, Organizer of the Orange Legisâ€" lation Committee, is responsible for the statement that to allow separate schools the share of corporation and utilities taxes asked by the Catholic Taxpayers‘ Associaâ€" tion would take $337,958 revenue from Toronto public schools alone. More than 20,000,000 pairs of shoes are required every year to meet the needs of the people of Canada. There are men and women who do not wear out two pairs, but they have boys and girls who bring up the average. Importation of shoes has fallen off very greatly in recent years, practically all of the Canadian market being supplied by Canadian manufacturers. Their autographs are eaéerly soilxht.' Aav;;'vâ€";is_c;;;'offer ransoms for the use of their name. Comscription of wealth as well as of man power is something frequently taiked about, and the belief sought to be created that taxing of wealth was neglectâ€" ed during and since the Great War. Referring to this n\h‘hmbameehmdnhyknflm“nm The Telegram points out that "there has already been a certain conscription of wealth to meet the cost of the Great War. In the years between 1915â€"1932 the War “mm“mmmmu- This leaven is at work throuzho‘ut civilization. There is nothing so widespread, so common a denominator with humanity, as the lure of & contest. Out of our spending monéy we keep hordes of athletes doing nothâ€" ing save participating in sports. And these athletes are little short of gods to the youngster and even the man in the street. They are fawned on and flattered. "A workman pays 25 cents a week into the insurâ€" ance scheme for two years, and then becomes unemâ€" ployed. The insurance commission is unable to find work for him, and after nine days he becomes eligible for the benefits. At that time he has paid in 104 times 25 cents, or $26 into the Fund. He is now eligible for 98 days plus a day for each week he has worked, a total of 197 days, or nearly 29 weeks. If he has a wife and three children, he is entitled to $6 a week for himself, $2.70 for his wife, and 90 cents for each child; a total of $11.40 a week. By the time his benefit expires, he has thus drawn about $325 in return for his own payments of $26." It will be difficult, if not impossible, for any county of Peel worker or his wife to endanger the enforcement of such a law by opposing the return to power of the man and the government responsible for its enactment. insurance companies, $198,544,020 from business profits and $745118,007 in income tax." Today we are more mildâ€"mannered in our sports, The cracking of heads with a quarterâ€"staff is no longer seemly. .‘The dueling rapier has given place to the pen â€"or the lawyer‘s wig. Bareâ€"fisted pugilism has also passed away. But even with this emasculation of sport, we still thrill to the lure of contest, . We still hold our breath as one man‘s strength is pitted against . anâ€" other‘8, We jump to our feet as a goal is scored, as a horse thunders past the winning post, as the count of ten is chantrd over a prostrate boxer. VEN a casual glance at the pages of history E ‘demonstrates: the existence of a trait which has persisted in man gince his first records were writâ€" ten, From the interâ€"tribal tussles of early man, from the swift races of the Greeks, the gladiatorial combats in Rome, the knightly jousts of Merrie England down to the less deadly exchanges of modern sports, man‘s heart has always quickened to the thrill of contests. It has Ml‘y been suggested that greater good would be accomplished by additional support to the school fairg even at the exp@nse of the old time county or township fair would be fully justified. ‘This is a matter that might well engage the attention of the minister, result is the cancellation of the "show fair," in various )lqeu in recent years. THE CERTAIN RESULTS THE LURE OF CONTESTS NOTE AND COMMENT Mr. Smith is an old newspaper man and was with The Toronto Globe more than a score of years. He has many vivid memories including the Riel Rebellion, the Franco Prussian War, and the Fall of Paris. There are somé of us who read the news for entertament, who confess a deep curiousity as to the trend of events, but whose most pronounced bias is a tendency to greet developâ€" ments with a profound scepticism. If you are one of these, the random journeys through current happenings which this column will take may prove of interest to you. For here we have no axe to grind, and no political affiliations to defend. Our views are those of the man on the street, enâ€" tirely lacking in authority, and swayâ€" ed with every breath of rumour. R Sweatshops Outlawed ? As one, who like everyone else, has found the effects of the recent deâ€" pressionâ€"may it rest in peacelâ€"exâ€" tremely hampering to our activities, we fireeted the word from Ottawa this week that the price spreads probe was considering the complete outlawing of sweatshops and child labour. F, Smith and Miss Mabel Stoakley assisted in lopking after the visitors, manv of whom were from out of town. * There is no room for argument about the need for abolishing these two evils from the industrial life of Canada, and the commission has our entire sympathy in their attempts to do so. And it is probable, too, that they will be needing sympathy before thef/ are through. It is one thing to outlaw the sweatshop, but entirely a d(iifferem. proposition to enforce the edict. Mr., Smith is a resident of the Swansea District and is now actively engaged in trying to convert the groperty donated to the Village by ohn Rennie, into a community park. The tea tables were attractivelx arâ€" ranged with spring flowers, and the gift bouquets received ‘by Mr. Smith were placed about the room. Mr. Adam Telegrams of congratulation were received from all parts of Canada and from many friends and assoâ€" ciates in the United States. Vigorous denials of aggression both from Chinese and Japanese sources, mounting fear of Soviet influence on the Mongol plains, and alleged reâ€" newed activity of Chinese banditry featured the week‘s dispatches. _ R. C. Smith was guest of honour at the annual birthday party tendered him ttr'{‘ the of the R. C.

The pot is boiling and some of these days the lid is due to Tgop off. To the Victor, The Spoils To a province which has }'ust witâ€" nessed one of the most bareâ€"faced exâ€" hibitions of the system of political patronage in Canadian history, the suggestion from Washington that the American post office and postal ofâ€" ficials be removed from the orchard of political plums comes as a sweet breeze on a putrid scene. China vs, Japan In a swirl of contradictory reports, the news during the past week points to a renewalâ€"was it really ever stopâ€" pedâ€"of hostilities between Japan‘s owever, Senator Geovx‘e Nortis, in a proposal aimed at the dual office of Postmasterâ€"General James A. Farley â€"who is also chairman of the Demoâ€" c;-dsk State Committee of New York and chairman of the Democratic Naâ€" tional Committeeâ€"is moving to have the poatmutewfnenl appointed for a tenâ€"year term by the president. The probable effect of this, if it is .ccef,rt- ed, would be to make the post office shakeâ€"up once every ten years instead of immediately following each federal élection. s ANNUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY TENDERED TO R.

"The action of the council in asking for supervision means," stated a town official this week, "that theâ€"town will be protected in many ways. No bondâ€" holder or other creditor can bring suit against the town for a debt after the proper order is issued by the Ontario Municipal Board. In another sense it means a protection for the bondholders because supervision of town finances will mean the conservation of money. All expenditures must be submitted to the Municipal Board, our budget and the budgets of other town bodies must be approved by that board. Any posâ€" sible silly expenditure will be checked in this way, all this tending to conserve the town‘s money and help toward healthy financial recovery. _ _ "It is like a visit to the doctor," smiled this official.
