To ThoseWho Use . , The Highways ' At Night ROCKY SAUCE" Let us make it an infallible rule to dip or dim our lights when meeting other cars. It will soon become almost automatic for us to do so. Oncoming drivers will respond. Within a very short time, this "deliber- ate gesture" of Courtesy (as it now is) will become a fixed habit. Do not crowd the other Fellow when meeting or passing. If he is inclined to be a nervous driver, he may easily misjudge distance at night. We don't know. And it costs us nothing to give him several feet of clearance. Let us give pedestrians MORE than ample space for walking. We have all the advantage when we are driving and the other fellow is afoot. Let us not use that advantage In a bullying way. On the other hand, when we are walking, let us show true courtesy to those who are driving. When we walk WITH traffic, we place ALL the responsibility upon the motorist. Always walk facing oncoming traffic. and wear or carry something light that the lights of oncoming cars will pick up, even if you carry only a partly opened newspaper. These are a few instances only, to demonstrate the SPIRIT of Courtesy which I am suggesting and recommending to the people of Ontario. Practise and preach the golden rule of the road.-. "Show to others the same courtesy that you would like to have shown to you". for either driving or walking I APPEAL to the motorists of Ontario to make night driving (and night walking) as safe and enjoyable as driving (or walking) by day. I believe it can be done --by the simple expedient of applying the principles of COURTESY. Sincerely yours, 2 York sows due ug. 10th; also some chunks. David Marshall, R. R.

Rarely ln the history of the Canadian West has wheat gone so high and it has never remained long at the high level. The West was settled, in fact, with the dream of dollar wheat as the lure. Dollar-titty wheat and the still higher prices that prevailed in war-time were things so far beyond the realm of pos=-ibility that they were not even the subject ot dreams. And dollar wheat, even yet, would be good-would be excellent. in tact -it crops like those of the old days could be counted on and a market were trcusured.-vaneouver Province. Dollar-fifty wheat is tine, but not quite so fine as it appears on the sulface. The price means prosperity for those who have wheat to sell. " means less than prosperity for those who have none, and the very fact that the price is so high is an indi- cation that wheat is scarce and that a good many will have little or none to sell. The rosxbility that wheat may rear-h a price of $1.50 per bushel be- fore the new year is mentioned in dispatches from Ottawa.

We had often heard about Ontar- io's Reforestation farm " uidhurst. B'meoe County. But our ttrat visit was made there a short time ago and now we will not be tustittt1ed until we visit it more thoroughly. Time was limited and we did not meet my om. cials to cull authoritative information to quote. But the thousands of acres of young tree lite set out so neatly and systematically is worth seeing alone. When we hear now of the ar- rival ot some 500 seedlings through the Ontario Government's muniilcence we have a mind-picture of the estate from where they came. The Govern- ment park at Midhurst, is also a treasured beauty spot. The combina- tion of the natural and artit1eia1 beauty is "ery satisfying and water, stone and flower are a hard trio to beat, when in artits" tt hands as they have been at Midhurst.
