WE NEED ACLOCK WHILE so many improvements of magni- 5 tude are being brought forward we wish to point out a need which should com- iiend itself to the attention of the Council and the citizens. The city is still without an official clock. Provision was made in the City Hall for such a public convenience but the tower still presents a blank face to the world. The state of development of a city may be -deduced- from the form of its public buildings and the completeness of its'public utilities. The vacant clock loft in the City Hall tower is a falsifier. It proclaims to visitors that our progress has not been so great as it has. Instead of attracting at- tention to the favorable equipment of the city it yields the impression that little has been done to add convenience to life. That impression, of course, has no foimdatiori Tt is true we do not wholly lack official notification as to the bonrs of the day. In ringing at.midday, however, the city bell is of inconsiderable advantage. Noon is a tinte which few would overlook if there were neither bell nor clock. I i a time at which consult its. face: The cost of the silent clocks is low; many buildings owned by private concerts in our eastern cities boast stfch machines. . The City Council would do well to gather information as to the probable cost of add- ing aelock to our civic equipment, 0 THE BEEF QUESTION THE IDEAS: of the Toronto Globe eon- cerning the equating the supply and demand so as to lower the price of beef ap- pears to coincide to a large extent with those of Mr. A. J: Aleock, of Endon. The Globe Says: Tf people will eat beef, then to the far- mer the ommunity must look for its sup- ply. One effect 6f the continued high price of beef will be the development of the beef cattle industry, and those farmers who respond most quickkly to the demand will bugbear in the view of the Canadian far- mer is the scarcity of labor. . In the case of fairy farming this difficulty is so great as to be almost insuperable; but there are var- ious ways of a labor cost per head of beef animals. e is to: add soil. ing t pasteuring in summer, and to add ensilage to hay and straw in winter. This involves work, of course, but it makes pos- sible a large increase in the number of eat- tle that may be kept on a farm, and thus diminishes the cost per head. The intelli- gent farmer is willing to pay for extra labor if it pays to do so. The idea of ranching cattle is begin- ning to appeal to those interested in the production of young cattle to be fed to a tinish by farmers. . It isan absurd and in- jurious delusion that such cattle need to be stalled in quasi-subterranean stables in or- der to stand the bracing climate of Canada. They eat their heads off under such a re- gimen by making extra labor necessary, by being deprived of the opportunity to hunt for their own food, .and by becoming sub- jegt to diseases that are aggravated if not fused by bad ventilation gnd.too high a temperature. No animal an be perfectly healthy living under a. bank barn * any more than a human being ean be perfectly healthy living in a basement. In many parts of Canada there are waste lands admirably adapted for cattle runs, and the time,is coming when hundreds of thous- ands: of well developed stockers will be produced on these ranches to be taken off as two or three year olds for feeding to a finish on cultivated farms. 5 ARS Be Sy THIS DATE IN HISTORY September 26. 1776 Congress appointed Benjamin Franklin, Silas Dean and Thomas Jefferson commissioners to the court of France. the attention of the citizens is daliy fixed on the time because of the demands of the oc casion- As far as being of any wide utility is concerned the bell might as well be silent. It is during the hours which are sand- wiched between breakfast and dinner, be tween dimmer and tea-time and between tea and retiring time that the man and woman on. the street really need to. consult a time-piece. The shopp- ing housewife nee to know when to ward to culini duties. The - workman passing on his: must know the hour or his timetabi and his accomplishments will n6t coincide. Watches, of course, are within the reach of all nowadays, but what city has not recognized the duty of main- taining an oMieial time-piece for the . en- lightenment ofiggs citizens? An upward glance at the hnge, cl arly-marked face of a city clock has less of inconvenience about it than the extraction of a watch from . the pocket. It is a well known fact that very few wat ies are pulled out within eye-shot jof a tower clock. But there is no need-to multiply the perfectly obvious reasons there are for the provision of a city clock. Tt only remains, therefore, to be consid- ered what xpense and alteration would be required to fit the City Hall t wer for a tine-piece. Sinee the east side of the build- ing stands now where the present north side was intended to be, the tower has been partly obseured from the view of people on Main Street. This would necessitate some outlay as the tower would have to be built to a greater height. However the ad- dition need not be of very great altitude, probably not more than thirty feet. The expense of such an. ext nsion would be merely nominal. When the tower had been made high enough there would only be the cost of a el ck to:meet. City clocks are of, several varieties. There are the large ma s with two, three or more bells which, with pleasing variety, strike the quarter hours; there are those in which one bell is made to-do th work and there are those with no bells whatsoever. If it were thought inadvisable to invest a large sum in a time-piece, the silent kind. It would not be so effective as either of the other types bnt it would he quite as capable of telling the tim to a who found it necessary or convenj desist from her activities and hasten home- * ght content: itself with one of the 70 Dalhousie University, 47 years old today. 1777 The British army under Lord Howe entered Philadelphia. 1789 Edmund Randolph commissioned first Attorney General of the Unit- ed States, 1820 Daniel Boone, famous Kentucky pioneer, died.
