OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Old Home Not So Bad While the continent is still ringing with echoes of the “icy waters” of the It swim, there are one or two things it might be well to remember. One is that a resident of Ontario {hasn’t think of earthquakes and start for the door every time a heavy truck rumbles by the house as they do in California. Another is that you can go to bed at night without wondering whether you'll eat your breakfast where you are or over on the next farm, as they Old Ontario may have a Iew chilly days along about February as well ac. a fine summer and a beautiful autumn, but taken all in all, the old home isn‘s such a bad place to live in after all.â€" Toronto Telegram. In a three-year period, more 00 barn fires in the Province of On- tario were investigated and the auth- orities concluded that "at least one- half of these fires had been directly and solely caused by spontaneous heat- ing".

In the campaign in the United States certain things are being said about the liquor laws of Canada and particularly of Ontario that require an answer. One of the most flagrant is. that Americans who come to On- tario come solely to get liquor. This statement is also being used on the platforms by a certain closs of reform- er but statistics do not bear this out. The latest figures available as publish- ed by the Liquor Controt Board of Ontario show that during the year jusr ended 70,000 permits were issued to tourists coming into Ontario. The figures of the Dominion statistician which have just been published give the interesting information that dur- ing the year 400,000 tourists entered Ontario and stayed for a period up to two months, while over two million tourists entered for a period up to 24: hours. Two million four hundred thousand tourists visited Ontario and out of an that number only seven' y thousana purchased permits to secure liquor. _3__..

The good roads of Ontario is one of the biggest drawing half the number of visitors, and tak- ing only those who came and stayec for a period up to two months it would be natural to assume that 200,000 per- mits would have been disposed oz. Visitors to Ontario have shown no great demand for alcoholic beverages according to the figures and the sland- ering of the tourist to Ontario and the Dominion generally should cease.â€" Canada News. The marketing experiences of the 1928 season are demonstrating plainly that the new regulations at Ottawa for the control of fruit dumping are ineffective and unworkable. British Columbia has been particularly hard hit this season through the loss of a large portion of the Prairie market, and the same situation is having its ef- fect on the Ontario growers. cards. and the splendid nsnmg and camping arrangements make the visit a glorious holiday. If Americans came just to get liquor then it stands to reason, surely, that the Government Control Board would have disposed of permits to at least if something is not cone in the meantime this problem should be thor- oughly debated during the next Session of the House. for growers of tender fruits and vegetables are apprehensive concerning the future of the industry if it be not protected against the dump- ing of a United States fruit and veget- ables at critical periods in the market- ing of our home-grown stuff.

Ofi hand it must be ad- mitted that to pass a weary pedestrian with a nice car, in cold blood without asking him or her to hop in and have a lift, is hard-hearted. A real fellow walking. It is, however, not so cold blooded as it appears. In the first place, so far as men are concerned not a few kind-hearted auto drivers and owners have got a thumping on the head or behind the ear from one of these innocent passengers. and when they came to, found their cash ab- sent while the lumps on their anatomy were present. One day. just east of Prescott a gentleman with red blooa in his veins took one of these innocent-looking pedestrians into his car. and as the man was driving himself, he had the passenger sit with him. No thumping took place. but when the owner or tne car went to pay his hotel bill at the Chateau he discovered that his money had gone with his new found friend. There is a reason, too, for not help- ing out even the best looking lady on the road. The law in Ontario seems to be a joke regarding the liability of automobile owners, for example, it your chauffeur makes a nut of himself. the owner of the car is responsible, no matter whether the latter was in the car or not. The law holds that the owner of a car hasn’t any business to have a fool chauffeur; and, anyway. little, if anything, could be collected from some of the chauffeurs and some- body must be liable; so the owner is the goat. But there is a silly section in the Act somewhere, which provides that if John Smith asks his neighbor Bill Brown, to go for a ride and the latter complies, Smith is responsible if his friend gets hurt in any accident that may take place. Few there be who would be such mean cusses as to take advantage of this provision in the law, but several cases are on record of this being done. And the best part of all this is. you can have a handsome copy of “WE". printed in twelve colors and measuring eighteen by twenty-four :ncnes, to hang in your own home. But none. perhaps, as stirring as one picture that hangs as a permanent gift to the American people and a fit- ting tribute to one of the most glorious deeds in all our nation’s proud history most loved hero of all time. These are the reasons. and they’re good ones, why men, who otherwise would gladly give pedestrians a 1m. cannot afford to do so, although it hurts their feelings every time they pass on the road a person who. under other conditions he would be glad to assist. If you are ever so fortunate as to visit our National Capitol at Washing- ton, you will find many things there to thrill you. This wonderful picture bears the simple title “WE’,’ and as its name sug- gests, depicts the gallant flight of Col- onel Charles A. Lindbergh from New York to Parisâ€"the flight that thrilled the world, and gave :6; probably its most lived hero of all time. You cannot buy the picture at any price.

Answer- ing a telephone call in his home, Zavatkay, who raises and sells canary birds as a side line, was asked it he had any canaries in good voice. He suggested a demonstration over the wire and stepping to a cage in which a canary was singing joyously he brought cage and bird close to the phone receiver. After a brief concert he asked, “How was that?” “A wonder singer,” came the reply. Zavatkay made the sale directly. the first he made under similar circumstances. A lone two-gun bandit entered the office of the Quality Damp Wash Laundry Company, Buffalo, recently, and seized a $4,600 cash pay roll, but dropped it on his way out when whacked on the head with a stick by a nigh‘; clerk.

Too much attention cannot be paid to the care of potatoes for shipment. regardless of whether their purpose is for seed or table use.

This may nave its origin in the field or storage place. It is an exceedingly poor practice to pile the rakings with the main crop. Invar- iably they have been left in the field over night, and in all probability have field frost injury.

This is particularzy necessary should there be a delay in unloading the potatoes. Such precautions are well repaid, for the inspector will disqualify shipments showing even a trace of frost injury. A common couse of serious bruising often occurs during car shunts. which cause the bags to fall forward. The only way to avoid such accidents 15 to slope the tiers well backward. Avoid using containers which were used to hold salt, fertilizer, or other chemicals. Potatoes put in such containers are practically sure to receive injuries which will render them unfit for use.
