Farm implements brought somewhat disappointing prices and Auctioneer Darroch had hard work to get rid of a lot of the stufl.

Good Mr. C. C. Sparling, son of the late James and Mrs. Sparling of Meaford, has reason to be justly proud of his work during the past year as Mathe- matical master of Wingham High school. The students under Mr. Sparling’s in- struction, were successful in 73 papers cut of a total of 74 in mathematics and one half of these were first class hon- ors.

This is a record for the school. Bidders Were Cautious A deputation from Meaford, Thorn- bury and Collingwood is in Toronto this week seeing Hon. George S. Henry Minister of Highways regarding the provincial highway between Meaford and Collingwood. The deputation wants the road permanently surfaced. Road work there has proceeded for several years. The road between Meaford and Thornbury is very rough, all of the old road having been ripped up. Big im- provements have be“: made at Swath- more where the new bridge was con- struCLed. Mayor Horsley and Reeve Arthur wre Meaford delegates on the; deputation.â€"Meaford Mirror. ‘ Wingham Teacher’s Good Record “Curly” Winger won a bit of local fame Saturday night and incidentally a dollar. He was bet by a group of ; young men that he couldn’t kill a skunk “without getting any smell on him.” Mr. skunk had frightened half the pop- ulation and the large Saturday night crowd by getting down the grating at the Molson’s Bank building. Mr. Win- ger accepted the challenge, and getting hold of the skunk killed it in the pro- per and humane way without adding any perfune to himself. The little pest was put away. It is a brave skunk, too, that will tackle a town main street at night.â€"â€"Meaford Mirror.

Little Reta thinks she likes Ontario better than far-away Saskatchewan. She informs us that the high windstorms in the West nearly ruined the clothes in, their home by bringing layers of black dust through every opening.â€"Chesley Enter- Kills Skunk and Wins Wager THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Reasoning pe0ple will not blame the wheat pool for every dire circumstance. They will recognize that the pool handles but little more than half of each year’s wheat crop and. with the exception of last year. has had such success as to have won merited praise rather than criticism. Alarmist Reports and Ignorance But. getting right down to brass tacks. is there anybody simple enough to be stampeded by alarmist reports into thinking that the banks, with mil- lions of dollars in wheat through the pool as well as through “the trade" are going to work deliberately to smash the poolâ€"to bankrupt more than half the wheat-growers of the West. For that is what the suggestion means. Is there enough ignorance in this wuntry to swallow the silly idea that the banks are about to wreck the Prairie West’s economy, when by so doing the banks would be murdering Canada and com- mitting suicide themselves? Wheat can make all kinds of a fool out of the man who ventures to get oracular about it without knowledge. In the situation in which Canada finds herself with regard to wheat and the Wheat Pool, the average Canadian can have sense enough to refrain from rocking the boat and thus throwing general business into needless alarm. The amount of sheer balderdash that is being written and talked in a panicky way about the wheat and crop-financ- ing situation, is the best illustration imaginable of the old adage that “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” It is rather refreshing to read an article by Vernon Knowles, the chief of the news staff of the Toronto Mail and Empire, who predicts at least “fair” times for the Western farmer and scouts the pessimistic cry put up appar- ently by those who traffic in wheat to the detriment of the grower and the consumer. Mr. Knowles’ article should be read by every farmer, and if read carefully should instil increased con- fidence in those who are engaged in this, one of the largest business assets of Canada. Mr. Knowles says. This has been a rather “bad" year for wheat movement ‘and the crepe- hangers have been busy predicting all kinds of trouble financially for the Western Canada wheat farmer, now that the 1930 crap is about to be har- vested. According to them, there was to be an enormous surplus, and with much of the 1929 crop still unsold there was nothing but financial ruin in store for the farmers in the West, with the resultant business depression all over Canada.
