The Weak End of Fall Fairs A universal weakness in fall fair management is the lack of attention and accommodation given the live stock exhibits. The ladies' work. the horticultural exhibits and the speci- mens of farm crops are usually well displayed and left on exhibition until the gates are closed. The horses are often judged and paraded. and in a great majority of cases the cattle. sheep and swine are crowded off to one corner. judged hurriedly and given no prominence at the local fair. The attention paid to sheep and swine is often little nTore than a joke. When sheep and swine are judged on the wagons and in the crates. they might as well be left at home. That kind of fair has no educational value. and it simply amounts to drawing some live stock to exhibition grounds. getting the prize money and taking the ani- mals home again. An up-to-date fall fair management should insist on the sheep and swine being adequately dis- played and left in their places until the fair is over. The fall fair has wonderful possibilities for good. It is their own expense accounts against the amounts reached as the average for the United Statesâ€"St. Thomas Fuel or lubricants represented 44- per cent. of the bill for Operating cost. or $101. The mechanics charged $47 for their time. replacement parts ac- counted for S41. and $40 formed the tire bill. Some motorists may consider that the mechanics’ charge comprised time rather than service. but that is one of the traditions of auto owner- ship. Others may possibly be inclined to question the cost estimates of the motor organization. But generally speaking. its figures appear not unrea- sonable. and may be safely accepted by owners who are desirous of checking tion. As the result of its knowledge and enquiries, this organization has reached the conclusion that in 1927 the average automobile cost the aver- Qe motorist around a dollar a day, or $365 a year. This calculation is based on a depreciation allowance of $136. the balance of 3229 being ascribed to Operation and maintenance. The de- preciation itself was figured on a life expectancy of seven years for a pass- enger automobile and the average re- tail price of 8900 during the year. Conditions in Canada being closely comparable with those south of the border, a motorist interested in know- ing what a car’s upkeep costs the other fellow can refer to the figures compil- ed by the American Motorists' Associa- cars. So long as an owner escapes a huge bill for repairs he is content when the expense does not unduly ex- ceed what he can pay without incon- veniently straining his available re- sources. Business efficiency experts may talk of depreciation, tires, gas and oil, and the advisability of an oc- casional overhaul, but the average owner and driver settles when the time arrives and lumps everything in ser- vice cost. So long as the car gives sat- isfaction, he never dreams of worry- ing over the expense of keeping his PAGE 6. time necessary to ascertain, .with ap- proximate accuracy, how much it costs OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS The Chronicle is among the first papers in the country to give its readers the bene-- fit of this remarkable new type.

Man has too long placed women on a high and lofty plane while they have been left free to work their own sel- fish pleasures. Women are no longer going to be placed in a false position but intend to show their equality to man even in their lowest forms of sel- fishness and hitherto untampered plane known to man alone and thought unfit for women. They are sick and tired of the unequal code and intfnd tc show the men that what is food for the gander is also food for the goose. The results may be slow in coming but womanhood hopes that the results will be more lasting and a better under- standing will exist between the male and the female species of the tribe of Adam.â€"Teeswater News. Well now what do you think about that? Let me say. as one who does not smoke but is fair minded enough to see both sides of the argument, why shouldn‘t girls and women share the same enjoyment of a quiet smoke and a glass as well 'as mere man ?

The Government gives no help for the maintenance or construction of the city streets. though connecting links between sections of the highways. yet they collect a mileage tax from every bus. The cities have the same right. but in the belief that a favor was be- ing done for their own citizens re- frained from collecting any fee for privileges used. As a matter of fair- ness. all of such bus and trucking com- panies should pay their share of tax- ation and make their charges for ser- vices sufficient to make the service pastâ€"Guelph Mercury. It is true these companies may carry freight considerably cheaper than railway lines, and that their cus- tomers are materially benefitted. This benefit, however, is at the expense of the general taxpayer. rich and poor alike, because there is no contribution for the maintenance of the permanent pavements, which are damaged more by one heavily laden truck than by a hundred average automobiles for the carrying of passengers. buses pay a share of transportation through the taxes that they pay for the road. upkeep. It’s small for the in- dividual. but considerable in the year- ly aggregate. The tax suggestion is not heavy, but busmen declare it takes the profit out of the business. Every business ought to stand on its own. and the charges made for services ought to include sufficient to meet all taxation. To do otherwise is to make non-users of the any other agency using these avenues of transportation; Legislation was granted some years ago permitting the taxation of all bus and trucking companies. Some cities exact it. but Guelph and probably many other places have neglected to do so. The amount of freight trucking done here has reached an immense total, and up to the present none of them contribute to the upkeep of the roads or bridges. though they contribute more to the destruction of these than Railways have a bonafide girevance in every municipality that charges them heavy taxation on every bit of their property. and permitis competing concerns to get off free. Money is not the yardstick by which men should be measured. Sometimes it is. The man who beats a bill, who cheats for the sake of a few dollars, is the man who is too small to be trusted with anything beyond a few dollars. Some people have no respect for them- selves.~.Lucknow Sentinel. Yet there are hundreds of people in any county or large city who will sell their reputation, which is the public conception of character, for a five dol- lar bill or less. It would surprise you how many there are who wOuld deny reflection on their honor and yet sell their reputation for honesty for a few dollars.
