The increase in coarse grains and wheat now heing so!d over Jast year at this time, would amount to approximately 40 per cent, he stated.

New Securities Tax To Be Applied on By TI. B. WINDROSS EDMONTON. —With the budget debate under way in the Alberta Legislature and the session more than half «ver, there still was no hint his week of what legislation, if any, would be introduced to bring about reduction of farm debt and interest, particularly ia mortgages. There was an announcement of a new securities tax which would apply to mortgages-—a tax of two per cent on the principal, with the mortgage-holder, or other security-owner, held liable for it. The tax was estimated to yield $100,000 annually to the govern- ment, taken from the pockets of large or small investors, be- cause the owners of the mort- gaged properties simply have not got the money. It was expected, however, that mortgage holders who in the past have reduced their interest rates voluntarily —-and many have knocked two per cent or more off the contractual rate—will be forced to ask for the full interest rate again in order to meet the new tax, or will be forced to ask the property owner who has been allowed postponement of interest payments to pay up at least enough of the interest to meet the new tax, It is said that there have been wrangles in the Social Credit cau- cus on the subject of debt reduc- tion, and various schemes have heen introduced, but they have been discarded one by one, and it is declared in informed circles that the governn.ent has no sound plan in mind now which it is willing to attempt. Instead, the moratorium is to be extended, to postpone .the day of reckoning. More than a year ago the Mortgage Loans Association of the province of Alberta, an or- ganization of large mortgage holders, realizing the serious plight confronting many farmers, offered a solution to the Govern- ment and asked for the Govern- ment’s co-operation. The Govern- ment made no reply whatever to the suggestion, and so last April the association tried again lo ar- range a conference. The Govern- went still ignored the plea to ar- range a conference on the sug- gested basis of a soution to the debt problem. ‘The only answer so far has been an acknowledge- ment of receipt of the letter by the government. The Mortgage Loans Associa- lion’s letter repeated the sugges- tion that with the Alberta gov- ernment’s co-operation it could put into effect a plan of farm mortgage adjustment which have helped Saskatchewan and Manitoba farmers for the past two years. The letter restated the propos- als put forward a year ago by the association and ignored by the Government, as follows: “The interest rate on all farm mortgages in Alberta to be re- duced to six per cent effective from Jan. 1, 1937. Further conces- sions on arrears of interest to be made on all our farm mortgages where the accounts carried an undue accumulation of arrears of interest due to a guecession of crop failures or by virtue of cir- cumstances beyond the control of the borrower, In addition, spe- cial treatment for those districts which had suffered most severely from crop failures during the period since 1931. Enable all farm mortgage accounts to be re- moved from the position of de- fault, and provide for a new agreement containing special pro- all Mortgages * visions for the protection of the farmer.” The letter, whicli was sent di- rectly to Premier Aberhart him- self Feb, 9 of this year and tailed to get more than a_ three-line acknowledgement from his office, said that the Provincial Govern- inent’s co-operation would be re- quired and that. although it would be preferable to have the Federal Government’s assistance, too, that would not be ‘necessary if the Provincial Government de- sired to make arrangements with- out. co-operation with the Domin- ion. Speaking in Edmonton Feb. 17, Hon. James G. Gardiner, Domin- ion Minister of Agriculture, said that the Federal Government would co-operate with Alberta in a debt-reduction scheme “inside of 24 hours” any time the Pro- vincial Government desired. Co- operation between Dominion. and Saskatchewan has brought about a $100,000,000 reduction in the past two years in the debts of farmers in Saskatchewan drouth areas, he said, but Alberta prev ferred to remain aloof. Premier Aberhart replied the following day, through the news- papers, that Alberta would nor enter any such plan “hecause farmers of this province should have a better deal than that; I am persuaded that the farmers of Al- berta would not he at all satis- fied with the arrangements made to assist them in the debt situa- tion, as was granted in Saskat- chewan.” So exactly nothing done to ease debts. is being MEETING OF GROUP 3 Group 3 ofthe United Church will meet at the home of Mrs. Scott on Tuesday ufternoon, Mar, 8, at 3:30 p.m, Mie ih, ee pe: ei?

Olds School of Agriculture Sponsors Two Interesting Days Before the close of the term, the Olds School of Agriculture is sponsoring two interesting days at QOlds, one called the “Little Royal” on Saturday, Mar. 12, and the other “Achievement Day,” on Saturday, Mar. 26. The graduating class in agri- culture are required to fit and train an animal tor exhibition. At the “Little Royal” they show their charges, There will be classes for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, and the boys will be awarded prizes on the work in fitting and training their respec- live animals. Dr. Sinclair of the University of Alberta wil’ act as judge. “Achievement Day” will exhibit the results of some of the prac- tical classes, the hoys in wood- work and blacksmithing, while the girls display their accom- plishments in sewing, upholster- ing, fancy work, manual training, ete. Each day the program will start at 1:30 p.m. and the public {is invited to attend. ' MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME OTTAWA—For the world as a whole, milk is prohably the main source of farming income. In the United Kingdom, states the Im- perial Economic Committee, its value exceeds that of any other farm commodity; in the U.S. and even in Canada, in certain years, the value of the wheat crop is less than that of dairy produc- tion. —_—_ Price—-5 Cents Over 600 Horses to be Sold March 15-16 To Cater to Visitors; No Half-Holiday to Be Observed by Stores on March 16; Record Entry of Horses May Be Passed It is expected that over 600 horses will be sold in the auction ring at the Lacombe Farmers’ Horse Sale to be held in the Central Alberta Pavilion on March 15 and 16. Close to this number are now entered, with entries still pouring in, and it is expected that the previous “high” of 650 horses sold in 1931 will bd eclipsed. A total of 540 horses were sold at last year’s sale. are good stock, according to J. Fraser, secretary of the Sale, and All the horses entered will be well fitted for the sale. No Half-Holiday The by-law enforcing the Wed- nesday half-holiday is to be sus- pended on Wednesday, Mar, 16, and all stores in the Town of La- combe will be open all day to provide shopping facilities for the many visitors expected for this event. A petition from the Board of ‘Trade has been received by Mayor E. H. Jones, regarding the waiving of this by-law for that date, and the petition has been granted. Enquiries have been received from buyers all over the conti- nent, from as far south as Cali- fornia, from Vancouver and from Montreal and the eastern States. The horses entered for sale are mostly, from the Lacombe dis- trict, although entries have been received from all parts of Alber- ta, Saskatchewan and _ British Columbia. Two carloads of horses are to be shipped here for the sale from the Peace River district. Market Is Steadying While the prices this year on the eastern market are below those of last year, the market is steadying, and it is expected that fair prices will be realized. er Alix to.

Broomball Game Played in Slush The Weatherman the past two weeks has provided enough warm weather to write finis to winter sports for the time being at least. Ice at the rink is in bad shape: curling has been suspended, and skiers are blocking up their skis for the summer, A broombell fixture at the locai rink Saturday night was played on a rink of slush and water. Lacombe, under the able leader- ship of Casey Jones, managed to down a fighting hunch of Black- falds Blue Bombers by a score of approximately 2-9. Few turned out to see a group of aspiring athletes grunt, swin and plod their way threugh 0 minutes of sport, which turned out to be hard work for the ma- jority of the players.

T IS exceedingly difticult, if at, all possible, to B recouatic past speeches of members of the present Alberta Government, “the peoplc’s sav- rors,” with the contents of the budget introduced last week ‘in ihe Provincial Legislature. In the tirst plaée the’ budget calls for a délicit of $1,500,- 000 for the éurrent year; $100,00U: is allocated. for the upkeep of the Social Credit Bourd; $6,000 is to be spent by the people to “keep” L. D. Byrne, Social Credit “expert,” and $11,000 or $12,000 goes to legislators as a 10 per cent increase in their sessional. indemnity; and yet, of the $6,000,000 savings certificates, only $700,000 is alloted for their payment. ‘What a paradox, when .we con- sider that the highest expenditure ever hudgeted for, $22,184,084, is planned this year. Ever since the present Government: was elected to power, the business men of this prov- ince have demanded, asked, begged and hoped for the inception of a sane, business-like budget and the scrapping of these social credit theories, It appears. that the social credit theories have been discarded, but what madness is here when we see a Government, budgeting for a deficit, advocate an increase of sessional indemnitics,. and allocate #100000. for the upkeep of a “Social Credit Board,” whose duties are. all-powerful but at the same.‘time incomprehensible. Former governments have been accused of “snending money like drunken sailors,” Dut surely in all the days of this fair province a more para- doxical, saint-like-in-talk-but-not-in-actions Gov- ernment never held office: in this Province. Where is Premier Aberhart going to end? Why should the legislators of the Government blithely. vote themselves more money when they face a deficit of. over one million and a half? Why should the Social, Credit. Board ‘he so securely f rinenees if their Only, actions are to fill the coun- with propaganda? Where isthe money to. come from to cover the budgeted deficit? _ Truly, “whom the (ods destroy, they: first make mad,” : nes It Must Pay Its Way Oca is again to be served with a daily air mail service; according to a recent announce- ment made in the Huuse of Commons by, Hon. Cc. D. Howe, Minister of Transport. The service will beconie a reality early in March, the minister reported. No passengers will be carried in, the inaugural flights. By this service, Canadians will once more have the privilege of sending mail by air, The service will stretch from coast to coast, and planes will make the trip daily. to comply - with the demand for speed, Once before Western Canada had at its com- ‘mand air mail service. For the first month or two of ‘this now discontinued utility the planes were loaded to capacity with air mail. The ser- vice, however, proved to be but a fly-by-night success and was discontinued only after the Do- minion Government had lost millions in its upkeep, Just as private enterprise exists only through the profit which that enterprise shows, so it should be with this government project. If the air mail service can operate on a sound and prof- itable basis, its inauguration will prove to be a great asset to the people of Canada. Should, how- ever, this service follow in the steps of its pre- decessor and show deficits amounting to enor- mous sums, the utility becomes a liability and a mill stone around the taxpayers’ necks. : If the public desire air mail service, it is up to them to support it, and if the project is not supported, it is the government's duty to discon- linue a service which, successful, would be a boon, hut unsuccessful, would) mean an even greuter burden on the taxpayers, War Brought Closer Home T anese territory is bringing to the citizens of the rising sun the true meaning of war. It is an entirely different proposition speaking of a war that is a thousand miles away and having that hell appear overhead. The moral victory scored by the Chinese aviators is perhaps the greatest blow struck by either side since the start of the undeclared war. HE appearance of Chinese planes over Jap- It has been reported on numerous that the citizens of Japan are not, nor have they ever been, in favor of this war of penetration. Having bombs dtopped on their very heads is un- likely to change their viewpoint towards the con- flict. Meagre reports from Tokio tell a tale of trouble brewing. The Emperor and his cabinet are not progressing favorably in their demands with the Japanese diet. Fear is held in many quarters of a repetition of the army uprising which took place in February, 1906. The economic position of the country, never strong at = any time, has not heen improved with the constant drain of keeping a large army in the field. Altogether events are coming to a head in the »ccasions week, 1 heard the ‘following epigram, during the While I was listening to a broadcast last coursé of a play: “There oF gener everlasting ‘otal. + @ vost of rE in’ beauty.” What the b st was wbout I dol yig9p00 for the Social Greait ROY FLEGAL, not even remember, but rase Stuck in nly} Board; new taxation ‘totalling mind, and I felt that it was a profound truth that this character had been made to utter... Whien- ever way you turn this phrase it is- tru ty is everiasting, or there is something everlasting in beauty. 1 cannot’ subscribe 16 the cynicism of Shakespeare in “Julius Caesar,’ when he makes Mare Antony say, “The evil that men do lives after ihem, the good is oft-interred with ‘their bones.” Surely we remember the beautiful things in a per-, son’s life. Don’t we recall with delight the beauty of Queen Victoria’s love-story to the extinction of some of her not so beautiful characteristics ? The memory of those whose lives have- mn “things ‘of beauty” will remain with us pr cl God gave us beauty to enjoy. Actuat beauty of face and form, sich as Hilen of Troy possessed, and other beauties, is not exactly what I have in mind when I ‘think of beauty as everlasting. However, empires have’ fallen:and the histary of the world has been changed through the influence of some woman endowed with unusual beauty and charm. Haven't you ever had the experience of. a moment of beauty that will live with you forever? A glorious day, either glistening with myriads of scintillating ropes of frost, fMtshing diamond- wise in the hard, bright light of a: winter’s sun; or, a bright blue day of summer, with little puffs of feathered clouds, only enhancing the brilliant sum- mer blue. Isn’t there such a day somewhere in your memorv, which you will not forget—-a thing of perfect beauty? Let us look for a minute at beauty in the pres- ent day world of art. For instance, the variety sponsored by the Epstein. school of thought. Ep- stein, not so long ago, created a huge monster in stone, with distorted feet and hands, out of all proportion, and had the temerity to call it “Christ.” Will this hideous abomination live? I doubt it. Let us turn to the beauty of some of the sculptors. of. mediaeval tines. ‘Think of the .statue of the Venus de Milo, which has lived through hundreds: of years, with arms gone. and not battered, yet a thing of beauty, everlasting In its appeal. What about some of the present day pichires, for imstance, of the “surrealist” school, which look fike nightmares on canvas, and then take a glance at the beauty of some of the “old masters,” and which do you think will remain with you? Per- sonally I try to forget as soon”as possible these obscene things musquerading under the name of “Art,” and turn: with delight to anything of real beauty, whether made by tad or man. Think for a moment of the Taj Mahal, built in the first half of the 17th century. - “Beauty as the: poets had visioned iil. their utmost dreams made manifest in plastic stone.” The pilgrimage to this shrine of beauty has gone on uninterrupted dur- ing the few hundred years it has stood, “Built as a shrine for beauty, by an Indian Prince, to com- memorate his wife, and to be the resting-place of her beautifut body in death, To be worthy of her, he called in craftsmen from all over the then-known world, so that-.it should be perfect. And so it stands today, near the old town of Agra, above the Jumna, the acme of perfection to which, thousands journey year after year, to pay. tributes, 5 Many lives have been Jost in the striving to obtain objects of beauty. Many world famous jewels have had hectic careers through the ages. Some may be lost te human ken for years, and then turn up in some jealously guarded collec- lion, their beauty having been glouted over for years by a select few. Some of these jewels have sinister histories, for instance, the “lope Diamond”—it has left a trail of death and misery wherever it has gone, and yet who would not de- light to own this glorious gem? It is now in the hands of an American woman. There is an old proverb which people de- light to bring forth anent beauty, that “Beauty -is only skin-deep.” Of course I realize that this is discussing a difierent angle of. beauty. - huinan beauty. But, have you ever stopped to consider that when the name of Marie Antoinette, for in- stance, is mentioned, you do not think of her extravagances, or her many glaring faults, but the pathetic picture of a beautiful woman mounting the guillotine comes tu our mind, thereby making a martyr out of someone who at least contributed, quite definitely, to the causes leading up to the French Revolution Jn the same way do we re- member the morbidity of the late Czarina of Hus- sia, or the weakness of the Cairn? are more of a beautiful and her four beautiful daughters, of the beauty of the plind devotion that the Czar gave to his wife, obscuring his perception of the trend of events going stead- ily forward under his very nose. In farm conmunities it is often found that those most influential in the life of the district are not, of necessity, the best fixed, or the best educated, but those who tive beautiful and useful lives, who have the art of giving out beauty to all around in the form of syinpathy and under- Our mer.ories woinan standing. Beauty lives forever and is everlasting. Happy are those who can keep their lives bright with the beauty of ieliacska moments.

Hoffman has been very unwell for several weeks, Al- though up and around part of the time, Mr. Hoffman has not really been well since his holi- day visit to _Washington State during the early part of the win- ter, As no mumps had appeared for some time, it was thought that the epidemic had waned, but what do you know—a couple of married ladies, a couple of single ones and a little girl broke out with thick jaws Sunday morn- ing and Monday saw a couple of the swains suffering the same ailment. Oh well, there are not many more to be troubled with it, and we have the consolation that very few are troubled with the ailment twice during life. The bassinet story’ has been explained to the seribe. As it now stands, the. ladies around tuwn (that is those without the mumps) inet at the home of Mrs, Nelles on Wednesday last and filled the bassinet with baby clothes and other little knick- knacks. After. that was coi- pleted and the usual chin exer- cise, the ladies lundled up the whole cabboodle, made a_ sur- prise visit to a local family and presented the timely gift to an expectant mother. Left in the Lurch Boys have often been left in the lurch by young la‘ies decid- ing to return home from a dance with someone else, but the tide was turned last Friday, when a party of seven left Tees for u dance some distance away. Four boys and three voung ladies were in the party. Although the driver was good enough to take the girls, he received a cold shoulder there and promptly gathered up the poys before the end of the dance and came home, leaving the girls stranded. . The girls got home alright -with someone else but they’re still a little ho! under the collar. The boys have been tion.

Earnings of the industry as a whole have not exceeded five per cent in any year since 1921, and for three out of the past six year's the industry accumulated deficits. For the 16 years from 1921 to 1936 average annual earnings were only 1,43 per cent of the invested capital. Although the industry expanded, increased competition, low prices, rapid obsolescence of equipment, and moupting taxes have tended to keep earnings at a low level. For this 16-year period the average capital investment was $10.776,828,000; average earnings, $154,536,580; average return, 1.43 per cent, ble ‘Gerches Minister: Rev, A. L.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE At all Christian Scienve church- es next Sunday, the subject of the Lesson-Sermon will be “Man.” The following is one of the Scrip- tural quotations contained in the Lesson-Sermon: “For in him. we live, and/ move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For me-are also his offspring (Acts 17:28). One of the correlative passages fron: “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy, is as follows (page 259): “In divine Science, man is the true image of God.” seeing practically all her pupils absent with the mumps from time to time, and herself immune dur- ing the severest part of the epi- demic, Miss Putnam has now accepted the fad of “mumping” set by the Principal earlier in the year.” Miss Putnam has moved from her batching quar- ters to the isolation ward in the Cunningham hospital, for better care, Before going to press a report has just filtered in that in the neighborhood of twelve more cases of mumps are evident, in- cluding Miss Mary Hetler and seven of Glenn Marshall’s family.

STRANGE “There is not a single country where the entire population en- joys a standard of nutrition ade- quate for the health.” This is the conclusion just ar- rived at by the Special Nutrition Cominittee of the League of Na- lions. Sir John- Orr, probably the world’s greatest expert on nu- tion, last year came to the same conclusion. “Millions are un- derfed!” he said. Farmers are eager to supply the extra food needed by city people, in return for which city people are eager to supply the additional goods and commodi- ties which farming people so badly need. Why are not these simple exchanges taking place? Some say it is Decause the Capi- talistic System, the Economic System, the methods of Distribu- tion and Marketing, of Transpor- tation and of Banking, have broken down; but kis cannot be, for all these concerns and busi- nesscs are most eager to bring about the needed exchanges. In my humble opinion it is ac- tually Statesmanship the World Over that has broken down. Those in charge of our affairs, by means of high tariffs, quotas and other restrictions, are cur- tailing the exchange of farm products for city goods, feeling, apparently, that the less we all buy and ‘sell somehow the more we shall all have. What a sad and pathetic fallacy. If it were not so tragic it would be just silly. maintenance. of Following factors have tended to raise prices: U.S. Government intends releas- ing gold to broaden credit basis; Moisture situation unfavorable in Tunis; Canada imports United States wheat; Germany - buys 30,000 tons of Argentine barley; Many sections of Argentine very dry and conditions for corn crop unfavorable; Japan’s refusal to disclose warship program will probably start armament build- ing race. Following factors have tended to lower prices : Rains favor U.S. winter wheat belt; Beneficial showers in Al- geria; All Indian crops doing well; Japan’s rice supply in- creased; Spring ploughing com- mences in Russia; Favorable weather in Italy allays fears of a wheat shortage; Yugo-Slavia win- ter crops in good condition; In- creased exports of soy beans from Manchuria.

In those early 18th = century days no one ever expected a clock to keep accurate time on the high seas, for a pendulum operated timepiece stopped every moment or two owing to the ship’s motion; and other clocks were not accurate enough, even on land, to fulfill the conditions laid down by the Government. One of these conditions limited the maximum error—fast or slow -—to three seconds per day! The winning time-piece, however, did not become popular on account of its high cost and intricacy. A dupliate, made to special order, cost £450, Follow Same Lines Not for another 50 years did an improved type of time-piece appear, and all modern chronom- eters follow closely the same gen- eral lines, Today the captain’s much-prized time-piece resembles a high-grade watch but rather’ larger in size. It is mounted in special bearings which keep the mechanism always horizontal ir- respective of the ship’s move- ments. A special type of one ment mechanism is used, alo with the grooved conical “wheel” or “fusee” to compensate for the slight differencés in the main- spring tension. A chronometer, such as is used én Atlantic liners, operates with amazing accuracy, and often keeps within a maximum error of one second per 24 hours for six ‘months on end, despite wide variations in temperature and the roughest of weather at sea.
