Another Victory for Wage Barnes No doubt the world should be a great deal better than it is, but does the vicious circle of despair that is now be- ing proclaimed really exist? Aren’t we living in the most progressive century since the world began. and isn’t the world. The great lawyers are still losing cases. the great doctors are still losing patients. the great preachers have turned economists and the poor politicians have entirely lost our reâ€" spect and confidence. Industriallsts, n- nanciers and all capitalists are wicked villains, plotting to prevent the farm- er irom getting an adequate price for his produce and scheming to prevent the wage-earner from earning his daily bread. And the old cry is raised again. Let us seize all capital, redistribute wealth, and make all men happy, con- tented and equal as they are in Bus-j pruent depression only a temporary stock-taking halt by'the way? Follow the history of industrialism, for even the last 50 years. and you will find that there has been a steady but undeniable rise from conditions of almost un- speakable brutality, crudeness and cal- lousness to a place where heart, con- science and human feelings are at least in evidence in times of distress.

Political. religious and material pro- gress is always slow, simply because all of the actions of human beings are governed by self-restraint, and because cause of self interest.

That every religion, every schism, every sect, from India, Persia, Sweden, Salt Lake City or Los Angeles. can all of them find a few followers if they are willing to promise salva- tion everlasting, with riches and health thrown in for good measure.

On my best days I am even confident that some day we shall make the machine our servant instead of our master. For surely it is folly to build a machine to do the work of ten or twenty men it we do not reduce the hours of labor. And surely when we have the machin- ery for preventing industrial exploita- tion all is folly to hesitate about using it simply because it may crush the fin- gers because it may crush the fingers of financiers, or others, who have no right to meddle with even political ma- chinery, anyway. And when I am in a mood to be optimistic, to the point of being foolish, I can even believe that we may some day cut our expenses, by reducing our herd-voting legislators to one-fifth their present numbers. mske mistakes, we fumble, but we do get on.

Kindt of the Agricultural Econ- omics Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. has left for Western Can- ada to resume the collection of infor- mation for the completion of the econ- omic study of the range sheep indus- try in Southern Saskatchewan, Al- berta and British Columbia. This study is conducted jointly by the Experimen- tal Farms Branch and the Agricultural Economics Branch. Mr. Kindt will con- fer with L. B.

At any rate there is bound to be some real amuse- ment and entertainment. 80 I’ll be see- ing you. I think it would be a wise idea to start getting rid of some weeds about town. Continually the farmers are warned against weeds. A Weed Act is even enforced with expense to the Gov- ernment; which is all right and prop- er. But it is important to destroy weeds Our idea. of a disapapointed wife is one who took her man for better'or for worse and found that he wasn’t even good. in town also. Property owners should be made to get rid of them and the town should look after their prperty. The seeds should not be allowed to blow and thus spread through the 10- cal gardens and on boulevards and discourages a gardener more than an army of weeds choking out his garé den. And if a man fights them and tries to exterminate them and his next door neighbor stubbornly neglects them it is most unfair. The wind and a few weed seeds can do much damage. The other day I saw a tourist party in our “tourist camp.” I mean what should be our tourist camp. This party spying the lovely spot at the rear of the town hall, drove in and parked and proceeded to eat their lunch. The grass is long and the ground rough but it is nevertheless a picturesque spot. It certainly could be a fine place if only someone would take an inter- est in it. This fall would be a splendid chance to plough it up and then next spring it could be seeded and it would be a smooth, clean corner. It would be a credit to the town if this were done and then some flower beds added and in one corner the kiddies slides, etc. And by next summer we’ll have a real band, too. And that would be an ideal spot for weekly band concerts. I hope the council thinks over some of these suggestions and gives us a park.

There was, however, an uncle called the Whiteowashed Uncle, who was persona grata to this particular family of youngsters, because he treated them seriously as equals and bashfully gave them money to spend as they liked. They were so pleased that they hoped he would die that very night so that he would go straight to heaven, and. finally, they christened the piebald pig after him. Perhaps the best chapter in the book is that entitled “The Roman Road," in which one of the youngsters comes upon an artist at an easel who also treats him as an equal, and talks with him of the celestial city. In the long run, the artist promises to come and visit him. when they both get to Rome. “Upon this contract we parted and I went downheartedly from the man who understood me to the house where I never could do anything right." Curiously enough, Mr. Grahame was a brilliant mathematician, and for a long time secretary to the Bank of England. He is said to have turned to writing as a change from his official duties, and to satisfy his love of chil- dren and sense of humor. He was one of those numerous Old Countrymen who ha've more than one compartment to their minds, and who excel in di- verse departments of life.
