. HE GAZETTE, OLDS, ALBERTA, RED Rose COFFEE isgood — ee ome Let Us Think —— Can-the people of Canada be taught to think nationally, and act as a ational unit, instead of regarding themselves as citizéns of nine separate and distinct Provinces concerned chiefly with the solution of their own prob- iems and urging their own. policies and more or less indifferent to the pense on the rest of the Dominion? The people. of Great Britain have long thought in terms of the Empire, even of the world, rather than of their own tight little isle, and in the several States of the United States, despite their insistence’ that State rights be re- spected, the people think and act as citizens ot: the Union rather than of the individual States.. Perhaps. because we are yet? very young. as a confederation. and also because.as a people we are so few in number scattered over a narrow. strip thouasnds of miles long across a continent, ‘Canadians have not so gen- erally adopted the attitude of thinking and acting nationally. What? for example, docs -the average resident.on ‘these Western prairies now or care about, the vital problems confronting the people of the Mari- time Provinces? Would the West be willing to forego the adoption of a policy which would mean a large measure of development and prosperity for it, if at the same time it meant adversity and loss to the Maritime Provinces?: And would not the manufacturers and workmen of Ontario and Quebeé hail with joy the adoption of any policy which meant millions to them even though it anight spell disaster for these Western Provinces? Canadian farmers are generally suppesed to favor lower Customs tariffs and to regard the policy of protection as inimicable to the best interests of the Dominion asa whole. Nevertheless, a few days ago a representative conven- tion of Quebec farmers demanded the placing of duties on certain products in order to protect themselves regardless of the effect on the great body of Canadian consumers. At the same time they declared -in favor of an export duty ‘on pulpwood in order to force manufacture in Quebec and thus create a aarger home market for themselves, and flatly rejected an appeal made to them that the adoption of such a policy would mean hardship and ruin for countless farmers in other Provinces who were dependent on the export’ mar- &et for their pulpwood. In like ‘manner the British Columbia fruit growers demand tariff protec- tion in ‘order to keep United States fruits out of the Prairie markets. Nia- @ara fruit and “yegetable growers take the same attitude, and seemingly dg ‘not care one jot if; as a result of benefit to themselves, all Canadian buyers of fruit and early vegetables must suffer. And the Western wheat grower, would le modify his demand for free agricultural implements if it was proven conclusively that such a policy would mean ruin for-the Canadian implement industry? These questions are asked wholly with the object of leading Canadians to “think for a moment on their own attitude to their common country: . Ad- ‘mittedly all sections haye made sacrifices in the past in order that the whole might benefit, but has it not been done almost under compulsion and most unwillingly and grudgingly, and through no really patriotic desire to advance Canada and build up and develop a really strong and great country? Canadians of all classes and in all parts of the Dominion were willing to sacrifice for Canada in time of war. Is. it not possible to so imbue our peopie with love for Canada that they will voluntarily display_the same spirit for Canada in time of peace?.; Unquestionably there is great need for unity wf thought and action, nation- al unity, in this Dominion today. Never was the need more manifest or quite - go. pressing, but, unfortunately, instead of the lines of cleavage and division gradually disappearing, they aré becoming wider and more accentuated. At ‘a time when the old racial and-religious feelings and bitterness is being dis- pelled, here in Canada we seem to be replacing it with geographical and econ- omic differences which are apt, unless quickly checked, to retard future de- velopment just as effectively as did those old and. foolish quarrels. ; Canada is.a big country in every way. It is big in-territory, big: in the| wealth of its natural resources, big in its. possibilities, yea, ng in its manhood and womanhood. But in iis national conception it is small. . Its people lack vision and broadmindedness in some of those things witch: are caren to national greatness. % individually, the citizens of Canada should strive to-cultivate the habit ‘of thinking nationally. Once they establish that habit, constructive policies and actions on national lines will automatically and quickly follow.

Elimination Of -Rust : Menace Very Important Magical Dr. J. H. Grisdale Places Loss Last Year At $50,000,000 Dr.:J. H. Grisdale, deputy minister of agriculture, states that the most important work being. undertaken in Canada is rust research. . Last year the farmers of the west had lost $50,- 000,000 from the rust menace, and he said a systematic: research into the whole question was now planned with the hope ‘of ultimately discovering a wheat immune to rust, and which at the same time contains the desired milling proportion, in addition to being able to be harvested efficiently. — AHAPPY CHILDHOOD) JS AMATTER OF HEALTH Little children aaickty et out of sorts but by prompt. treatment they ean just as quickly be set right again.

Propose Export Du Duty On Wheat sion in Voluminous Report The voluminous report of the roy ‘al commission inquiry into the grain trade, tabled in-the house by the min- ister of trade and commerce, is an ex- haustive treatise of the grain trade ...{from the time the crop leaves the farm until it is exported. . An appendix by Commissioner W. J. Rutherford goes even further, tracing the grain to the British and continental markets. Every channel is fully explored by the commission headed ‘by Mr. Justice Turgeon, who personally wrote the re- port. Many reforms are suggested. They relate mainly to mixing, grading” and cleaning the. wheat, to loading facilities and the work of the. eleva- tors. A very significant feature of the. re- port frony the general point of view is the proposal of the commission. that. Canada place an export duty on wheat going to the United States equal to the American prohibitive tariff against Canadian grain. Such an.impost, the commission believes, would correct the situation’ in which, ‘while Canadian, wheat is shut out of the United States domestic -market, it is bought _ by American millers, ground in the Unit- ed States,.and the. flour sold ag an American ~ product... The American miller géts his Canadian wheat virtu- Government rebates the duty when it is exported to the foreign market. . The. export duty, the. commission holds, would either force the United States to.abandor iis prohibitive tariff or. compel : American, millers to. come into Canada and mill’ the grain here. ‘The report ptates that the question of. mixing was the most controversial with whieh it had to deal: inte it at-length, It finds that by far the larger number of elevators at the -head of the lake are sean mixing houses. ‘Midway Attractions At Fairs Western Canada Association of Exhi- bitions Arrange Details -Midway shows for class “A” west- ern fairs will be supplied by the Ruben: and Cherry Company, of Montgomery, Ala.- .
