.THE GAZETTE. WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD No consideration has been given to the matter of establishment of a na- tional wheat marketing board, Prime Minister R. B. Bennett stated in the House of Commons. - Conditions on United Kingdom ap- ple markets are on the whole dull and ‘sales discouraging, according to information received by the Domin- ion Department. of Agriculture. Canada will have no official Scout contingent at the 1933 world Scout Jamboree at Godollo, Hungary, in August, it has been decided by Do- minion Scout Headquarters. Planning to establish a beet sugar refining plant, A. D.. Blaauboer, Am- sterdam, Holland, who is associated with one of the world's largest such factories, has arrived in Winnipeg. The Japanese imperial parliament, approved by a standing vote, the largest budget in the history of the nation, totalling 2,239,000,000 yen (about $480,300,000). The report of unclaimed bank bal- ances tabled in the House of Com- mon by Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minister | of Finance, reveals that there is $1,- 860,196.75 of unclaimed money in the banks throughout Canada. According to a special London ca- ble to the New York Times, the ad- miralty has announced its first con- tract for fuel oil extracted from Bri- tish coal had been placed with a Bri- tish firm. Use of intravenous injections of the collodial solution of metallic arsenic have proved successful in the treat- ment of bone. sarcoma, one of the most terrible types of cancer, accord- ing to the Canadian Medical Associa- tion Journal. ele A ‘favorable report on the treaty with Canada for construction of the gigantic St. Lawrence waterway and power project has been voted by a United States Senate. foreign rela- tions. sub-committee.

These twin considerations have been giving provincial authorities some concern. “We'll get rid of the elk,” said pro- vincial game wardens when fruit growers in the Okanagan country complained that the herds were spoiling their crops. But they did not get rid of them in the time-honored custom. Instead they trapped them. Special corrals were built at vari- ous points in the orchard country— corrals big enough to ensnare 80 ani- mals at a time. So far.only a few elk have been captured, but the game wardens hope to capture most of the animals before spring. More than 400 elk are in the | Okanagan country now, the offspring and descendants of a batch of 25 elk liberated there about seven years ago. They multiplied faster than game officials expected, and in some of the more settled areas have become a serious menace to fruit men. The trapped elk are being trans- ported by railroad to the wilds east of Princeton and liberated there. ~ Used New Technique For Delicate. Operation Okanagan Discovery Made Removal Of Tumor From Brain Possible Operation on the brain for the re- moval of a tumor, performed recently |in London Hospital, has been pro- | nounced a success, and the patient is recovering and his sight has been re- storéd. It is considered one of the most delicate surgical feats ever per- made it possible. The patient, a school teacher, was going blind asa result of the tumor, which was in an almost inaccessible spot, and eventually. would have | spread to. other parts of the brain. | Five doctors, headed by Dr. H. W. L. | Cains, of the London Hospital, spent ‘all day in the operation. Dy means (of diathermic current the tissues of |the brain were completely broken through to get to the tumor. By the new technique the current gradually |went through the cells, breaking them, | but healing them aga'n as it passed jon its way to the base of the trou- | ble. formed. Discovery of a new technique | The Itinerant Salesman Takes Money Which Never Gets Back Into Local Circulation “Madam, we can sell you these much more cheaply than any local merchant. We have no expensive store rent to pay, we do no adver- tsing in the daily papers, we have no big overhead for trucks and deliver- ies, so we can sell you at least twen- ty-five per cent cheaper than the stores down town.” This is the argument of the itiner- ant salesman at the front door. The very argument of the sales- man is the best argument against them. If all business were done on the house-to-house plan, no stores would be rented, no advertising bought in local papers, no tax money collected. to pay policemen, firemen, garbage collectors, street sweepers, paving, city lighting, and all other advantages of a properly conducted city government. House-to-house salesmanship. by out-of-town firms who. contribute nothing toward the support of the town is a growing evil. The lesson is not amiss for the families of professional men, as they too have to contend with the ten- dency of the local people to take their major operations, big law suits, fine architectural jobs, engineering projects and finer dental work to out- standing men in neighboring big cities. Money spent in the home town is convenient meney which the spender may get back at an early date. Money sent out of town is distant money, unlikely ever-to get back into~local circulation.—Kiwanis Magazine.

Farmers Feel More Kindly To- ward Wild Horses The campaign against the wild horse in British Columbia has been called off this year. When the machine age was at its height and automobiles. were coming into increasing use even in the more remote parts of the province, it be- gan to look as though there would soon be no further use for horses, wild or otherwise. Now, however, the settlers who used to complain of wild horse depredations are think- ing twice before they start on any further campaigns of extermination. They are beginning to realize that when they cant’ afford to buy gaso- line or auto repairs, let alone a new car, the wild horse may become a real asset. So instead of. hunting the wild horse with a gun many British Col- umbia farmers will do their stalking this spring and summer with a lariat. On many farms that have been hard hit by the slump motor tractors and other mechanical implements are be- ing left in the barn and the horses are being put in harness instead. Several. thousand wild horses are still in British Columbia, many of them being descendants of the ani- mals turned loose in the freight wag- on days of half a century ago. The Grasshopper Menace Outbreak This Summer Unless Ad- verse Weather Destroys Eggs In an address given before the Uni- versity Club of Ottawa recently, Mr. Arthur Gibson, Dominion Entomolo- gist, gave an account of the valuable work being conducted by the Entomo- logical Branch for the Federal De- partment of Agriculture. The losses from injurious insects amount to many millions of dollars every year within the Dominion. As a result of investigations conducted by Federal entomologists, he claimed that im- portant savings are resulting every year from entomological research.. Referring to infestations of grass- hoppers in Western Canada, he stated that-the officer in charge of the fed- eral work in Manitoba, Mr. Norman Criddle, in directing a federal survey of the grasshopper infested areas in' Manitoba last autumn had discovered the eggs of grasshoppers in numbers up to 140,000 in one square foot of* soil. Unless these eggs ‘are reduced in numbers: by adverse weather or other natural control factors; there is every probability of an important outbreak of destructive grasshoppers in West- ern Canada during the coming sum- mer. ; eee A 300-years-old silver watch that still goes and strikes the hours, which belonged to Charles 1., fetched £175 at Sotheby’s.

I would say at the outset that I am one who believes that. our pres- ent economic system is antiquated and should have been replaced ere this with one more in keeping with the needs of modern society. What I am suggesting is put forward only as a prop to shore up our present business structure and save us froma -total collapse until we have time to examine and repair the foundations of our present system of doing busi- ness, . There is no need to describe the present situation in western Canada, though we are frequently told that we are much better off, than other | places. Yet the fact remains that be- cause farm produce prices are so low the farmer has no purchasing power, and therefore, most lines of business are shrivelling up like prunes in @ hot sun. Almost any. business man will agree that the farmer must have more money to spend before business can get into its. stride again. At the same time it is generally. adn:itted that nature did not throw us down. We have abundance. of everything we need, but we lack the medium needed to exchange. our com- modities with one another. If we can agree that the present situation is man made, we should be able to agree that. it must be man mended.'I pro- pose that instead of quietly sinking out of sight in the quicksand of the present business depression, we west- ern farmers and business men. should join forces in an effort to put an end to these intolerable conditions before something more serious happens. My plan, if put into operation, would mean that the farmers, instead of talking about rebellion, strikes, or not sowing a crop, would by adopting a course of action which would be constructive and effective, and which, given the co-operation of business men, would give the needed impetus to business and. thus bring benefits to. the entire community. My plan provides for an equal distribution of effort in direct proportion to business transacted: it would give the farmer 95 per cent. more purchasing power and debt paying power, and at the same time would help the business {man by giving him a much larger volume of bus’ness. My plan is as follows: Let there be set up a Collective Produce Clearing Association, with representative busi- ness men from the three prairie prov- inces on a board of five trustees. This clearing house would be properly bonded and would have a properly bonded agent in each country town. It would issue clearing house certifi- cates and clearing house stamps. The face value of the certificate would be for double the net market price of any produce delivered by the farmer desiring to use the clearing house. It. would function like this: a farm- er takes a load of wheat to an eleva- tor and receives the ordinary cash ticket for the net.value of, we will say, five dollars. He takes this five dollar cash ticket to the local agent of the clearing house afd receives in exchange a clearing house certificate for ten dollars, which is double the amount of this cash ticket. The clear- ing house certificate would read “The Collective Produce Clearing Associa- tion will pay. ten dollars in cash on presentation of this certificate with fourteen forty-cent clearing house stamps attached on the reverse side hereof.” i ‘ This cert'ficate would have a fac value of;ten dollars and would be redeemable in cash after it had turn- ed over fourteen times and had col- CHILDRENS xo f 2d] YVER 17 MILLIGN Vicks ta taxes, interest or debts. . Some think business would refuse to accept these certificates but stamp and scrip money have been in use in two cities in Germany during the last six years, and in 140 places in the United States and Canada recently. In some of these cases there has been no reserve at all at the back of the issue, whereas one Winnipeg business man pointed out that in my p!an there would always be fifty per cent of actual cash value in farm produce at the back. of the certificates. My plan also embodies the princi- ple of relating currency to commodit- ies, which is one principle. on which many of the world’s economists are agreed. I submitted my plan to Dr. Irving Fisher of Yale, and the reply I re ceived was very encouraging. If the present conditions are al- lowed ‘to continue hundreds of farm- ers will dispose of their livestock such as pigs, sheep, and poultry. Many who are now behind with taxes and inter- est will, if they put in a crop at all, be still further behind next fall; thou- sands are now so discouraged that they are rapidly becoming a problem to our governments: It is high time that. we started to do something about this situation. My plan may sound radical but the situation is so critical that a radical remedy is need- ed. My plan would be better than debt adjustment, because the way to ad- just debts is to pay them. Anything else will be unfair and very cumber- some to carry -out. My plan would allow the farm pro- duce to flow to market as usual with- out interfering with prices which are set on an export basis. It would still allow of feeding the unemployed cheaply, but many of these would be quickly absorbed by the greater vol- ume of business which would result. I would be very glad to have the opinions. of business men and also to answer any criticism or question with regard to my. suggestion. of how to stamp out the depression.—Colin HL Burnell, Oakville, Man. - Books Children Like Tastes Indicated In Survey Conduct- ed By.

These new homes provide many convenienc- es and the light and ventilation that }- was. lacking in the old—a healthier environment for the children. The new condition has encouraged the owners to appreciate the value of ad- ditional pursuits to augment their sources of livelihood such as the cul- tivation of gardens, the raising of chickens and in some instances’ pigs, and turning their attention to mi’king and even to the art of butter making. ¢ Booking Clerk at small station) —You’ll have to change twice before you get to York.

The clearing house would’ have the five dollars cash from the wheat and $5.50 in cash from sale of stamps: The ‘farmer would take the first 4% discount by signing his name and address on the back and attach- ing the first stamp. Everybody using the cert'ficate would do the same un- til it had done $140 worth of business. In other words, the business men who have dealt: with this certificate have each taken a 4% discount in order that the primary producer may have an extra 96 per cent. more buying power, and at the same time. they will have put in circulation an auxil- fary currency which would be‘ grad- ually converted into cash. ae. J have submitted this plan to a con- siderable number of business men and while most of them, of course, do not like departing from the time honored methods of doing bus’ness, many of them see their business gradually. de- parting from them and are coming to the place where they would be willing to try anything which looks like a way out. Many of them agrée that if 50% of the farmers were to accept these certificates for the grain and live- stock marketed, business would have to adapt itself to the use of them. Most of these same business men also } agree that if they cou’d get almost twice as much business and twice as many debts paid as at present they could well afford a discount of 4 per cent. But in actual practice they |, would not likely need to stand a 4 per cent discount on all their business because there would still be a very large amount of cash circulating. The amount of certificates circulating would only be a fraction of the cash, because they would be continually converted into cash and they would automatically pry a larger volume of cash out into the channels of trade. Some object that it would be too cumbersome, but all admit that the present situation is certainly very cumbersome.
