Canada’s Sunday In an editorial letter from Dr. C. ‘7. Mnrrisnn to his own paper, The. llln'istian Century, written on his trip hnme to Chicago from Western Canada. at. the close of several weeks spent. in vtitferent. parts of Canada, he says ”I think that Of all things I saw in Canada. nothing impressed me so much as Sunday.

Chautauqua Dies Not Pay The series of Chautauqua enter- tainments-for this season are over in Western Ontario, and it looks as though they may not. belong continuing in this province. The reason for this is that they do not payâ€"that is, the money receipts do not meet the expenditures, so that in many instances the guar- antors have to make good a deficit. It is a matter which affects the cities but not to any great extent the small towns. Competition is not so keen in the towns and there is not the superabundance of fun- eral directors here that there 8001139 to be in some larger places which don‘t. consider themselves quite so "that”. â€"-Fergns News- RPCOI'd. Most people know the old joke about the undertaker who said he “followed the medical profession”. Now; it. seems, members of the undertaker’s association want, to follow the medical profession in another wayâ€"by prohibiting ad- vertising except up to a certain Specified size, as unethical. The trouble appears to be that some of the more progressive under- takers in the cities have lowered‘ the price of funerals, which 'was bad enough. Then they advertised the fact. and drew a big business away from some of the others. That was the unethical part. If the advertising is stopped, per- haps the next step will be to raise the price back to the old standards.

There are two newspapers â€"â€" another characteristic that seems odd to the Wellington county visitor. The Chronicle "and the Review ofl‘ices are at opposite ends of the main streetâ€"at least of the business sec- tion and there must be nearly a mile between them. Perhaps one is the paper of South Durham and the other of North Durham. - Just. one other observation be-- fore leaving the subject of Durham Impressions of Durham A visit of a couple ot' hours is not enough to allow anyone to qualify as ‘an authority on any town. This axiom is not always observed. Indeed many a famous traveller has given his impressions of a country as he saw it from a train window. But even a. little while. is enough to give one an {impression of a place, even though lthat impression may be mistaken. Durham appears to be about the ”size that Fergus used to be untilthe rece‘nt spurtâ€"that is, about seven- teen hundred. There is a certain air of prosperity about the town, due mainly to the brand new post office erected recently by a grate- ful government, but whether as a compliment to Miss Agnes Mac- Phail or not, we are not sure. Anyway, there was a big fuss about who was to open it and how, with the result that there wasn’t any official opening. The people. just went in and got- their mail, if any. Another thing that helps this im- pression of prosperity is the bigl stone works near the southern en-' trance of the town with its steam shovels and other paraphernalia not usually associated with a small town. j “In Canada it. is not so, evén , though their organization is called . the Lord‘s Day Alliance also. But I understand that they centre their policy upon the principle of a non-commercial Sunday. Under this principle the publication of newspapers and the operation of amusements, whether theatrical or athletic, for pay is banned.

I have come home de- termined to study the question of recovering for American life this ihi-eathing space for the spirit. I have. lost whatever dogmatism I ever had on the matter, and I have certainly been shaken free of that complacent acceptance of our pagan Sunday which characterizes. the minds of most of us.

Some lacrosse teams have said unkind things about Durham as a be part of the proceedings while there. Of this, the less said the better in the present instance, as the Fergus juveniles may have opened the eyes of the north as to how lacross can be played, but they did not give them any lessons in manners and morals when the boys walked away with some of the spoons from the hotel as souvenirs of the occasionâ€"Fergus News- Record.

The Chronicle ' THE ’ DURHAM CHRONICLE 3 Myth? It is proved to us that one kind of grain will yield heavier or is stiffer in the straw than another :variety. It has been demonstrated over and over again that legumes are more valuable feed than tim- othy and couch grass. Growers are deluged with experimental proof that good seed will produce larger yields than poor seed; and after the farmer has “done all these things” and stored the bountiful harvest made possible by science the barn and its contents go up in one catastrophic burst of smoke and flame because no one has taken the trouble to discover the actual cause of spontaneous com- bustion and What will prevent it. “The Farmer’s Advocate” has‘ been informed‘ on good authority. ._v “ vâ€"uJV V. 7 ions thing, spontaneous combustion, and the wonder is that it does not intrigue the fancy of some scientist anxious to solve serious farm problems. If toughzhay causes spontaneous combustion one would expect half the barns in Ontario to go up in smoke and flame this year.
