Ramsay MacDonald was the first Prime Minister who went in person to Geneva to address the League of Nations assembly, and he is the first of British Prime Ministers to Visit Washington to discuss personally with the President of the United States the relations of the two great powers and widely proclaimed but not clearly defined plans for doing away with wars. The welcome accorded the British Premier in the Unitâ€" ed States was a spectacular one, and no man was ever given a warmer reception in Canada. “v 'r‘ 1: h,,,_1_‘l oi VVMLAAIVL lyvvyv.v.. ...- A new book is just out entitled “J. Ramsay MacDonald, Labor’s Man of Destiny,” by H. Hessel Tiltman, and it has been extensively reviewed by the United States press during Mr. MacDonald’s visit to the republic. It tells the roman- tic story of this distinguished man’s career and many will probably find it very much worth reading. , __-___ 13.2.1- AufiAHâ€" A! kJLvuuan All.“ A- .v.‘, .__ His early life was-spent among the poor fisherfolk of Lossiemouth, later he worked as a clerk in a warehouse in London on 12 shillings a week, and afterwards earned 70 pounds per year as secretary of an obscure politician. It is said that he' attended night school, and became interested in schemes to relieve the poverty of the masses. Today he is one of the most sought for and admired men in public life, a man of principle and convictionâ€"the best example of a self-made man in the world, and the Brit- ish Empire is proud of him. Farming, the science of making things grow and in- crease and produce; of making two blades of grass grow where one grew before; of making good wheat or oats or barley or turnips or potatoes or corn grow where inferior samples grew before; of inducing “bossy” to give forth for- ty or fifty pounds of milk a day in place of the quart and a half she now givesâ€"if she will not, get a cow that will; of making the home surroundings beautiful where today they are drab and spell merely and uninteresting place to sleep and eatâ€"in short founding a HOME and familyâ€"that is the picture of successful twentieth century farming in the prov- ince of Ontario. Thursday night is Hallowe’en and it will be the occasion of the annual appearance of ghosts and other weird spirits. Let it be\a festival of enjoyment but let all be mindful that it is not “fun” when it brings discomfort or annoyance to others. The Golden Rule is just as applicable on Hallow- e’en as on the other days of the year. Now that the provincial contest is over, interest naturâ€" ally turns to the municipal elections which are just around the corner and soon aspiring candidates will be making the rounds. It is a notable fact that many of the candidates in the provincial election were graduates from the municipal field and many who occupy the high positions in the govern- ment of our provinces and Dominion started in the municipâ€" al office and it is often the stepping stone to larger fields of endeavour. The annual match of the King and Vaughan Branch of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association will be held to-morrow. It is a tribute to the people of this district that this annual event has been, carried on successfully down through the years and that year by year it grows in its usefulness to this community. May the 1929 match be the best in the long history of the association. [AGE ng A new type of Magnetic Probeâ€"an electroâ€"magnet of unusual strength. composed of an alloy of cobalt and steelâ€"which forms an invaluable addition to doctors’ instruments for the removal of iron {articles embeddedun the skin, muscular tissue or the eye, is the latest development in Bell Telephone aboratory enterprlses. The humanitarian spirit always exemplified by Alexander Graham Bell, the u}- ventor of the telephone, has been reflected in many auxiliary products of telephone progress. During his lifetime, Dr. Bell designed and manufactured a probing instrument similar in function to that recentg perfected, and thereby relieved much sufiering. An increased knowledge of magnetic properties, whl enter largely into telephone construction. has led experimenters to the discovery of this important adjunct to the doctor’s kit.

Most of these are merely amusing, but some of them are serious because of the actual harm which they cause. Among the un- fortunately serious superstitions is the common belief that the child “grows out” of things. This idea is far removed from the truth, and ne- glect of faulty conditions in childhood usually results in permanent damage. It also means that during the early ‘years, when there is every hope of correcting the defect by means of {proper treatment, nothing is done. To illustrate clearly what we mean, We will refer to three conditions which are frequently neglected by parents because of their unfortunate belief that time is the remedy and that the child will “grow out” of them. Squint, or cross-eye, is one of the conditions which is frequently neglec- ted. If it is neglected, it does not cure itself, and, what is worse, the sight of one eye is wholly or partially lost. if parents desire their child to have the proper use of his eyes, they must have a. cause of squint treated in the earliest years of life. A running ear should never be left without proper treatment. The dis- charge may disappear in time and it may thus seem as if nature had effec- ted a cure, but what has happened in the meantime, in many cases, is that the infection which was the cause of the discharge has so damaged the hearing mechanism that the result is {either a total or a partial loss of hear- ing. Neglect of discharging ears in childhood means deafness in adult life Speech defects, such as stuttering, are a serious handicap in adult life. There is always a beginning to these, and, if they are attended to promptly, when they first appear, they can be cured. Speech peculiarities in a child may seem to be nothing more than a- musing; the child is laughed at, noth- ing is done, and a habit is fixed Whi- ch it is difficult to change; thus the future happiness of the child may be jeopardized through neglect.
