There is little differences in gambling, whether it is in lotteries, races, stock markets or in fact everyday bus- iness life, for there is always the element of chance to con~ tend with. The government at Ottawa by passing such legislation has just added to the many foolish laws that can be properly classed as legalized bunk. Then again suppose you invite a friend to go with you for a drive to Victoria Harbor or some other point nearby, and that friend had a bottle of liquor on his person, your car could be seized, even if you had absolutely no knowâ€" ledge that your friend had the liquor in his possession, and there is no way by which you could repossess your car. In simple language the law in the name of the Crown, can seize the property of an innocent person and there is no redress. In ordinary, everyday life, such action by an inâ€" dividual is simply theft. And now comes the announcement that the winnings of sweepstakes are forfeitable to the Crown if the winnings are over $50. Just why it is legal to win $50 and illegal to win $60 is something that the politicians at Ottawa will find pretty hard to explain. Of course it is on a par with many of the other laws that have been added to the sta- tutes from time to time that are equally as foolish. The individual who won say $10,000 in a sweepstake would have his winnings seized by the government, yet the same man could win an equal amount on the stock market and it would be perfectly legal. For example, if you take a friend for a drive in your car and a slight injury is sustained, even a finger injury in the car door, through his own carelessness, the friend can sue you for damages. v There are many peculiar laws in Canada which to any thinking person are hard to place side by side with common sense. - Milverton Sunâ€"When one reflects on the cost of the Great War it is almost inconceivable that there should be any effort against peace To date it has cost Canada $2,228,532,194 according to figures placed on record by Senator Michener of Calgary during a debate in the Upper House. The Finance Department of Canada charges to war and demobilization $1,695,912,860. War pensions to date amount to $592,619,384. The two give the total of $2,228,532,194. Interest on the amount is over'$100,000,â€" 000 a year. Those sending in income tax are helping to pay for that huge amount and surely are not desirous of participating in another war. Nor does the $228,532,194 include any of the suffering, hardship and sorrow of the wart. That is paid in mental anguish, not in dollars and cen s. r » There will be general satisfaction with the decline in the rate so far as the whole Dominion is concerned, last year’s being the lowest since 1926 and comparing favorably with 10.7 in 1932 and 12.7 in 1931. Ontario, too, has rea- son to congratulate itself that the rate is below that of the previous year, but the fact that it is still the highest in Canada means that more attention must be paid to enforc- ing traffic regulations and to educating motorists and pedestrians to the need for care and courtesy on the high- way. Figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics show that the death rate from this cause in On- tario last year was 11.8 per 100,000 in contrast to a rate of 8.9. Next to Ontario comes British Columbia with a rate of 11.0 while following were Nova Scotia 8.8, Quebec 8.6 and Alberta 8.5. Ontario had the highest death rate frum automobile accidents of any province in Canada and, while the numâ€" ber was less than it was in the previous year, this disâ€" tinction is not one of which the province can be proud. Honesty, like all other Virtues, is best taught in the home, and only When parents, relatives, teachers and others take the responsibility to instill standards of honesty in all forms of child endeavor such as School Fairs and sports Will the many forms of healthy competition be free from such deception. There is also another form where dishonesty is pracâ€" tised by some parents, which has a bad effect on the child and that is in doing the child’s home work. No doubt these persons wonder as they read of cases of dishonesty, Why such cases are so frequent, yet they fail to realize that one cannot be guilty of dishonesty before children and exâ€" pect them to grow u pwithout following the examples shown in their childhood by those they look to for guidance. Then there is the far-reaching effects which such deception creates in the minds of others, for the child who honestly tried to do his best and compete honestly, is apt to seek aid from some older person because some other child was given an award who in reality did not deserve it. Only last year judges found articles exhibited in Junior Fair sections that were not the work of children who ex- hibited them. Those Who have been in touch with fair workare well aware that parents and the older members of families often allow children to show articles which are not the children’s work. Thus the child gets a lesson in dishonesty from a source that above all others should be working against anything that will tend to weaken the child’s charâ€" acter, and all for the sake of winning a few cents in prize money. Addressing the Ontario Women’s Institute recently, a speaker points out the incalculable harm parents do their children when they permit them to display articles at School and Junior Fairs that are not the products of their own efforts.

About 60,000 square feet of floor space in the western annex of the Agricultural Coliseum will be used for display. To encourage growers to coâ€"operate in the securing of a large and atâ€" tractive exhibit to feature “Century Year” celebrations, additional classes with lofferings supplemented by $1,000, have been provided for fruit and vegetables, and the field and farm amps divisions have been reâ€" vxsed and brought up to date, also n‘nnmninnthn classes f0r sheaves, Water for the Poultry Extremely warm weather often causes heat prostration among fowl. Therefore an abundant supply of clean fresh“ water should be available to the growing and laying flock. Water, making up 66 per cent of an egg, makes its use imperative to good egg production, and also helps greatly in the assimilation of poultry feeds. Clean water is necessary not only from a sanitation standpoint, but also to help control egg flavor. Expensive Marketing The carrying over 0. cattle from one market to another is an expen- sive business, detrimental to the in- terests of both producer and trade. It is the opinion of the department that livestock markets would show a much more even trend if the habit of loading up every Monday with the week’s supply were discontinued. Better distribution of deliveries to the stockyards would seem to be the answer. In the Province of Ontario, motor truck deliveries have reached) a very heavy volume. At Toronto almost half the supply of cattle, dur- ing the month of May, was received off trucks, and a large percentage ar- rived at the market withOut pre- notice. Century Year at C. N. h'.

Spring wheat is progressing satisfactorily. Coarse grains, the 'acreage of which has been consider- ably increased to supplant the feed ‘shortage, are filling out Well. Corn ‘has improved! with the warm weather and shows satisfactory growth and color. Pastures show improvement but still need more moisture. I The yield of canning peas Will be less than normal. Tomato plants are coming along nicely and forming well. Root crops are promising with the exception of sugar beets which are patchy and a. poor yield is fore- shadOWed. Damage to! orchards due to Winter kill was more severe than anticipated and light crops of apples, peaches, pears and plums are indi- cated. Tobacco plants are showing good growth but due to the activity of the cutworm a small percentage of the crop will be spotty and in Nor- folk County some scattered damage has resulted from winds. > Value of Orchards ‘ That good fruit farms are worth owning, is the advice of a well-known agricultural authority. Ownersv [should make every effort to keep ;them, for money will be made from ithem in the future as in the past. Further, he points out that growers who sell .nearest home get the best prices. Culls sold in the home mark- ets often net more than fancy fruit shipped to distant cities. But selling culls anywhere is very poor policy as it brings the price down badly, and‘ lessens the desire of the buyer for the fruit.
