The season for corn on the cob is here, and has never a single poet lifted his voice in praise of this delicacy? What could he not make of, Those vaporous rows of aureate pearls Glowing beneath the golden tide of butter, keen with salt. Surely some other literature than that of breakfast-food could wax rapturous over the sweet-heart of the corn, that marvellous, dewy whiteness, honey sweet, which at last yields itself up to strong, guest- ing teeth. .1 , 10-15-..- “I Inn-n Whon mg Lectu. Sacred literature bears witness to the seductions of corn. When the timid Israelites cowerng in the desert fastnesses of Sinai learned Canaan was a “land of corn and wine" they experienced a sudden change of heart and burst across the Jordan. Their depredations aâ€" mong the corn fields and wine jars of the Hittites, Hivites and Jebu_ sites are reported to have been something scandalous. They knew what was good, did those hairy patriarchs. But whoever undertakes to tell the world of the joys of green corn must leave a certain incompleteness in his description of the table scene. To those who limit themselves to six or eight large ears at a sitting, there is something almost disgusting about those who do not desist till they have “eaten their length in corn.” Their barbaric cries of pleasure, their gnashing, rending onslaught and the drip of warm oil from their elbows are quite too suggestive of scenes on the cannibal island.

A couple of fakers, posing as eye specialists, performed a sup- posed operation on the eyes of a wealthy farmer near Carleton Place and then walked away with their fee of $200. In the first place why should anyone with proper mental faculties trust his eyesight to some- one he never knew or heard of and perhaps be a helpless invalid for the rest of his days; secondly, why must there be so many examples of the saying that “fools and their money are easily parted?” Already we have had anxious enquiries as to whether or not the Municipal Mock Parliament which was staged in Richmond Hill last year will be repeated this year. It provided an interesting evening of discussion on topics of vital interest and would certainly be well worth while holding again this year.

Can you spare some space fora Eiittie advice which I would like to give lto my fellow farmers. I am sure that ithere is a great deal of money lost every year to farmers due to thought- ‘less care of farm implements. With proper care implements can be made to give many years of useful service and the saving is a very material one. I would like to cite the case of a farm- er who retired last year after farming for some thirty odd years. Before he left the farm he had a sale. This neighbor’s machinery had always had lthe best of care, and the surrounding \farmers knew it. Some of them had iborrowed tools from him at different times, and knew they were always in uperi'ect repair. As a result, a corn binder that he had been using for itwenty years brought $80; a fanning mill that had been in use for fifteen years brought $28, and a grain drill that had been used every year for eighteen years brought $40. Other machinery averaged as well, and all Were worth the price they brought. My tool shed is nearer the fields than any of my other buildings. That is, it is as near the driveway that leads to the field, as possible, so as 'to make it convenient to leave the tools right where they belong. Over- head I keep the spades, shovels, hand rakes, forks, and other hand tools, land keep them where they belong, so ' it is not necessary to hunt for a need- ed tool when in a hurry. Cleaning and oiling them after using keeps them all as good as new. I am. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Sir TREAT Y0 I have a small farm, and all the tools I need for the size of place I have, and I consider my eighteen by thirty-foot tool shed one of the best investments I have ever made. When I finish using any piece of machinery that requires a bright working surface from a shovel to a disc., I clean it thoroughly and then give it a coat of harvester oil, with a small paint brush, before it is put in the shed. Af- ter the metal parts are so treated I give the wooden parts a coat of lin- seed oil and then a coat of paint. It costs but little, requires but a short time, and pays big in the long run.

Recognize the con- i stant opportunities you have for doing a large business with a small stock. All the resources of wholesalers and manu- facturers are open to you. Order goods from them by Long Distance one day, and receive them the next. Customers soon learn i to patronize the store where they can order anythingâ€"whether it is in stOCk or not. Occasion- ally calling up old custom- ers by Long Distance is a good way to ensure con- tinuance of their patron- age. Your immense advantage L'R FARM MACHINERY RIGHT Gormley, Ont September 24, 1E 1927 Editor Liberal Sir:â€" Inoticeawide range of subjects discussed in the “Letters from the People" column of your valuable pap. er and I wonder if you would have room for a few words about bands. I am delighted that there are now two bands in this North Yonge Street dis- trict, one at Willowdale and one at El- gin Mills. I sincerely hope that these two musical organizations will pros- per and continue to flourish as they will fill an important part in the life of this community. In speaking about bands, and town bands in particular, we sometimes hear people carelessly say, “what good is a band in _a town, anyway?” ’ Well, first take inventory of the fellow who makes the remark. You may have reason to allow the silly question to go unanSWered. But re- garding the remark more seriously, let us say that a good band is one of the most useful things a town or com- munity can possess. It is one of the best advertisements a town can have. Emerson says something about the world making a beaten path. Well, a good band will make all the roads leading to a town beaten paths, even though the town’s other attractions be not enormous. Every merchant is benefitted by a good band. Many people come to town to attend the delightful entertainment and they combine shopping with this pleasure The promoters of business and mun- icipal enterprises always have the satâ€" isfaction of knowing that their civic demonstrations from time to time will be successful, because they have a first class band to lead the way and attract the crowd. The churches and other institu- tions are provided with firstâ€"class musical programs on anniversary and other special occasions. The social functions of a community are more satisfactory and decided more pleasant, because musici‘ans equal . c . , . témgly’occiarsrion' are alwa§s at hénd, and willing to render invaluable serv- ices at all times. A band composed of able players and under the control of a capable inâ€" structor is a tower of strength to any town or section of country. It cultivates the public ear to apâ€" preciate a high class of music and creates a feeling of community spirit that cannot be obtained in any other way. Every enterprising citizen should boost the band of his home town, and co-operate with the powers that be for the upkeep and main- tenance of an institution of which he feels justly proud. A GOOD BAND IS AN ASSET TO ANY COMMUNITY A number of Bills and Road Ac- counts were preseented and ordered to be paid.
