Greene, Teiephone 5j or Residence 49W Summer Suits Richmond Tailors One of the greatw ;t dangers on the highway is the driver Who insists on passing ither cars when there is no space for him in the traffic line ahe'vad. If he should meet a car coming in the opposite direction, a crash followsâ€"with injury to persons or cars. It’s a good rule to keep in line, unless you have a clear view of the road ahead, and there is a place in the traffic line which you can reach before you meet on-coming traffic. Don’t be a nuisance by “cutting in”. It is discourteous to other drivers and creates needless danger. You may have a crash . . . and even if you don’t, you are liable to a fine under the Highway Traflic Act. Stop 22-A Yonge Street IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS F. G. OKE & CO.

He has succeeded, in spite of the partizan obstructions whi- ch the Conservatives put in the way, for the Opposition with sublime ingenâ€" ousness have broadly advertised them- selves as the “real and genuine" chamâ€" pions of Maritime affairs. There is something tremendously impressive in this Conservative monopoly of all the patriotic virtues, and equally distressâ€" ing, of course, that the Liberals should incorporate all theVVices!

If ever Ralston was inspir- ed by the story of “Brunce and the Spider” he never mentions it. More’s the pity; for his record is just a bit like that. Time and again he girded his loins and battered at the Conserv- ative walls of Cumberland. Like oth- er riding-s in this free Dominion, Cum- berland admires a good sport, and fin- ally smiled upon his efforts to the ex- tent that it sent him to Halifax for nearly ten years. Meanwhile the war had come. Ral- ston was a peaceful, modest young man; but when the bugles blared and the pibrock sounded he threw his mus- ty law-books aside, donned the kilt of the 85th Nova Scotia Highlanders, and sailed across the seas. Platoon officer adjutant, company commander, second- in-command, and finally battalion com- manderâ€"these mark the graduations which are further notched by three decorations, several more mentions in despatches, and four wounds. ' It is known he was once recommend- ed for the Victoria Crossâ€"it simply had to be that, or a court martial, he Igot neither, but a sort of happy com- promise was reached by making him a Commander of the Order of St. Mich- ael and St. George. ’ The profound ael and St. George.’ The profound and world-shaking decision between the'V.C. and the regimental bastille rested with the brasshats and the View they would take of a battalion com- mander monkeying‘ around outside the barbed-wire entanglements, urescuing his wounded men under fire. That was Ralston. In 1920 there was a provincial gen- eral election in Nova Scotia. Nine candidates ran for three seats in Cum- berland and the new (since defunct) Farmer-Labor grouped grabbed them all. Five years later he took another header into local politics: on this un- happy occasion he went doWn for the third and last time, with scarcely a bubble to mark his distress. The de- vastation of the provincial Liberal Par- He has Visited Australia and New Zealand, having been despatched thith- er by International Rotary in 1921 to preach the gospel of Service abo’ve self. ty was terrific; its come-back in 1928 was equally terrific. By then, how- ever, Colonel Ralston had been called t0_a wider sphere. It was shortly af- ter the 1926 general election that he was summoned to the Mackenzie King cabinet: and a seat opening up in Yar- mouth-Shelburne, he assumed the port- folio of minister of National Defence. \ In 1922 he was appointed chairman of the famous Ralston Commission on Returned Soldiers’ Problems. Mr. Mackenzie King, pursuant to the pro- mise he made in North York, in 1917 that should he ever attain power he would make it hrs first duty to give the ex-service men a square deal, made this commission one of his first,adâ€" ministrative acts. He has never ceas- ed to grapple with returned soldiers’ difficulties, all with a View to solving ‘Jhem to the just benefit of the veteran. Ralston’s report was for a time the “Mag-mi Charta” of the ex-service men. He has again figured prominently in world affairs by his representation of Canada at the London Naval Disarma- ment Conference. Recently in Ottawa the Hon. J. T. Fenton, Australia‘s min- ister of trade and commerce, and also a delegate to that conference,“ paid high tribute to Ralston’s work. And work it was bound to be, for although he is an excellent and pleasing speaker he is essefitially a worker. gjfiémomflmfllmyg ‘ ' brat/R MILKMAIW ADVERTISEMENT Richmond Hill Canadian livestock breeders realize that the halfâ€"truths of the Mackenzie King supporters cannot disguise the fact that for eight years the Liberals have done nothing Whatever to help them, and now have made a gesture of aiding them only on the eve of an election. Of what use to them is a countervailing duty against American cattle when Canada exports more to the United States than it imports. Canada’s livestock trade is in bad shape. Liberal politicians may deny it. They do claim that it is better off than ever. But the De- partment of Agriculture knOWS the true state of affairs as is shown in the following circular letter mailed out by the Deputy Minister of Agriâ€" culture, J. H. Grisdale to farmers at the same time as Mackenzie King was telling the House of Commons that Canada never was more pros- perous than it was early this year: “You are, I understand. interested in livestock of some kind and are therefore, I have no doubt, interested in Can- ada’s holding her place and even doing a little better than that on the world’s markets for various livestock products. Now, as a matter of fact, Canada seems unfortunately to be losing ground in this connection. For instance we no longer export any eggs or butter. We send abroad very little dress- ed poultry or lambs; our exports of beef cattle are dwindling, our shipments of beef are decreasing, have almost disappear- ed, and our shipments of cheese are rapidly falling off.” Canadian farmers ask yourselves whether the Liberals have spok- en the truth. Ask yourselves whether you are more prosperous now than before. Ask yourselves whether those of your children who have left the farm have good jobs. Ask yourselves if Canada Is prospering as it; should. THUS THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, WHO IS NOT A POLITICIAN, CONTRADICTS LIBERAL CLAIMS OF PROSPERITY IN AGRICULTURE. IF THE ANSWER IS “NO” THEN VOTE FOR THE CONSER- VATIVE PARTY AND YOUR CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.â€" VOTE LENNOX. Liberal advertiSments claim that Canada’s dairy industry is pros- perous because more butter was produced in 1929 than in 1921. The advertisements fail to say that in 1929 the butter prbduction' was less by more than 20,800,000 than in 1924 before the New Zealand Treaty came into force. They fail to state that in 1925 Canada exported 26,- 46,535 pounds of butter worth $9,917,516, while last year it imported 35,000,000 pounds from New Zealand. They fail to state that V. A. Hooper, manager of the Dairy Department of the United Farmers esti- mates that Canadian dairy cows have been reduced by 140,000 since the New Zealand trade agreement was signed. ~ Deep. Minister 0f Agriculture Cantrad‘icis Uberai flaims About Livestock Trade Since the New Zealand preference has become effective Canada has bought 90,640,722 pounds of butter, mainly from that country. This butter was worth $31,443,891 which sum Canadian farmers should have had. For years Conservatives have asked Mackenzie King to break off the treaty which permitted New Zealand to dump butter at ruinous prices into Canadian markets. Notice was given just before the elec- tion that the treaty would be abrogated. BUT IT IS TOO LATE NOW TO HELP THE DAIRY INDUSTRY THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR. NEW ZEALANDERS ARE SENDING HUGE QUANTITIES OF BUTTER TO CANADA AND THESE WILL KEEP PRICES LOW. . Ten Million Pounds of Butter Being Shipped into Canada “TEN MILLION POUNDS OF N. Z. BUTTER FOR CANADA” PRICE WILL BE KEPT DOWN IN 1931 HALIFAX, June 23â€"Nearly ten million pounds of New Zealand butter, carried by ,the British freighters Huntingdon and Mahana, are en route to Halifax for consumption in Canada.- Another steamer with a huge buttei"cargo, it is reported, will sail for Halifax next month. The shipments en route are believed to be the largest amount of butter ever forwarded to Canada in such a short period, although last winter several cargoes, all totalling millions of pounds, arrived at var. ying intervals for many months, keeping local prices at low levels up to the present time. These two ships carry enough butter to displace the butter produc. tion of 52,632 Canadian cows. From the beginning of the year to May 3151:, 1930, according to the official figures of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, New Zealand butter totalling 28,792,292 pounds was import- ed into Canada. This displaced the output of another 151,538 cows, taking average Canadian butter production in figures vouched for by the National Dairy Council of Canada as 190 pounds of butter; 3, year. Read the following despatch printed in the Liberal Ottawa Citizen on June 23, 1930. These large importations, which probably will be augmented by shipments through Halifax and Vancouver later in the summer, are re- garded as apparently bearing out the forecasts that New Zealand proâ€" ducers would ship enough butter into Canada to be held in storage and keep the price down throughout 1931, after the existing arrangements with New Zealand are abrogated in October. THUS, SO FAR THIS YEAR, CANADA HAS IMPORTED NEW ZEALAND BUTTER EQUIVALENT TO THE PRODUCTION OF 204,170 COWS. MORE BUTTER IS ON THE WAY AND EVEN THE OTTAWA CITIZEN ADMITS THAT CANADIAN BUTTER PRICES WILL BE DEPRESSED NOT ONLY IN 1930 BUT ALSO IN 1931. TO REMEDY THIS Vote!
