PAGE TWO I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive' or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. PLOWING IS NOT A LOST ART The popularity and success of Plowing Matches in York County and throughout Ontario is convincing that Plowing is not a lost art. The large number of competitors and the hundreds of spectators are proof that there is still a delight in a straight and well turned furrow. One of the most gratifying features of these matches is the interest taken by the young men. There is little sign of rural decay when this is so. THE BEST GUARANTEE AGAINST DESERTION OF OUR RURAL DISTRICTS IS TO HAVE OUR BOYS INTERESTED. The fact that young men are taking pride in their plowing and aspiring to reach the same degree of efficienty as attained by plowmen of other days is a good sign. Plowing is so fundamental a factor in good farm- ing that one might well say that as a country has good plowmen it will have a successful agriculture. THAT BEING SO THERE IS LITTLE FEAR FOR YORK COUNTY BEING A FAILURE SINCE IT IS THE HOME OF SO MANY CHAMPION PLOWMEN AND THE HOME OF ’THE MOST ACTIVE PLOWMEN’S ASSOCI- ATION’S IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. TEN YEARS AFTER November 11 will mark the tenth anniversary of the signingxof the armistice which ended the World War, affir ten million lives had been sacrificed and close to 200 billion dollars had been lost by the opposing nations. The armistice was preceded by the surrender of Bulgaria on Sep- tember 29, of Turkey on October 31 and of Austria-Hungary on No- vember 3, 1918, leaving Germany the only power opposed to the Allies. son for a conclusion of peace on terms previously outlined by him. On November 5 the Germans were notified that the Allies were willing- to negotiate an armistice along these lines, but that the details would be dictated by Marshal Foch, commander of all the Allied forces. Diplematic correspondence leading to the armistice was begun on October 6, when the German government appealed to President Wil- The terms of the armistice were delivered to the German re- presentatives on November 8, with a formal demand that they be ac- cepted or rejected within 72 hours. No discussion or modification of the terms laid down wés permitted. The Germans accepted the conâ€" ditions and signed the armistice at 5 a. m., November 11, the cessation of hostilities occurring at 11 a.m., this hour being, oddly enough, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Considering the deplorable conditions which existed in the world at the close of the war, the recovery of the nations involved, although by no means, complete, has heal remarkable, during the intervening ten years. There was a time when the sober horse ambled safely home with the tipsy driver but THE MOTOR CAR DOES NOT KNOW THE ROAD SO WELL. Gasoline and Whiskey won’t mix. When a man is driving a motor car he needs a steady hand and clear head and these cannot be retained after an over indulgence in liquor. THE LAW SHOULD SEE TO IT that if a man wants to enjoy his automobile driving he MUST KEEP AWAY FROM LIQUOR.

Because Canada is a country where cities are few, and dail- ies correspondingly few. the field for the weekly paper is large, and its opportunities for serving and influencing thesocial, political and busi- ness conditions are in keeping. “To an extent that s not always recognized, credit belongs to the weekly papers of Canada for the wholesome conditions which prevail in our social and p01itica1 order, the obedience to law, and the pro- g'ressive and prosperous trend of busineSs affairs.” CANADIAN PROSPERITY Business reports from all parts of Canada reveal the great pros- perity enjoyed in this country. In Western Canada the crops have more than exceeded expectations and the capacity of the railroads is being taxed to handle the never-ending flow of grain pouring east apd west to the seaports. From the industrial centres and cities come enâ€" couraging reports of building operatio‘ns probably never before equall- ed and of the establishing of new factories and plants in many places. Hydro development and building construction are going forward hand in hand in all parts of the Dominion and in every section new indus- tries are springing up in the wake of power lines. enjoy his liquor he should keep his car ih the garage.
