NEWSPR|NT FARLEY
HELD ADVISABLE
Committeeman Asks Discus
sion by Publishers and Manu-
faCturers to Clear Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

HAMILTON, Ontario, November 2a-
F. I. Ker, general manager Of the HAM
ilton Spectator and member of the
newsprint committees of the Canadian
Daily Newspaper Association and the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, yesterday advocated discus
sion of the newsprint situation either
before a royal commission or at a con-
ference Of the publishers and manufac-
turers.
The gravity Of the situation from the
all-Canadian point of view, he said,
demanded that the question be removed
from the "befogged atmosphere Of the
provincial Hobbies"
made by Premier L. A. Taschereau of
Quebec to the effect that IL newspaper
publishers had their way In reducing
the price of newsprint to q minimum
the small producers would all be driven
to the wall.
Mr.. Ker said the publishers were
willing to pay a fair price provided the
price Is uniform and non discriminatory.
He attributed the present situation to
Expansion in the newsprint in
dustry and said the publishers de-
preciated any price-cutting war that
was likely to jeopardize the stability Of
the industry.
"Mr. TaScherau," he said, "has once
again reiterated his paradoxial state
ment that the premiers have no In
tention of resorting to drastic legisla-
ton, but If any agreement as to the
price of paper Is not reached the
provinces must inevitably find q means
Of setting the fair and equitable re-
turns they need"
This means nothing more than q
dourishing of the big stick over the
heads of both manufacturers. and pub
liShers," Mr.. Ker added.

Withstand habits of provincial thinking

The farmers can be thankful;

farmers have to do now is to find
something new to put up as security.

DISPOSITION OF POWER COM
PANY TAX

Editor Midland Journal:-1n your
issue of the 18th inst. it is stated
that the tax on the property of the
Power Co. is given as share of
$457, 900, according to a recent
Court decision. 1t has been estimat-
ed that the amount coming from this
source to Cecil county is $15O,000,
as an initial or first payment. 1t is
concerning the disposition of this
fund that wish to speak.
The great drawback to the pros
perity of Cecil county is it's clay
roads which are so often almost i'm
passible. If the funds before speci-
fled are used exclusively on road i'm
provement, the value of all real es-
tate in the county will be greatly
increased.
If said fund is used to reduce cur
rent tax rates, it will amount to very
little to the individual taxpayer and
will accomplish nothing to advence
property values in the county.

THE FALLING AUTUMN LEAVES

The falling of autumn leaves is
the annual sign that Mother Nature
has made provision to save her trees
from dying of thirst during the
winter.
This explanation, which may serve
to soothe the ruffled feelings of
home owners who are now busy
raking up the leaves, comes from
Martin L. Davy, president of the
Davey Tree Expert Co.
con the average tree there are
several acres of leaves, literally
millions of Them" Davey said.
every leaf gives off water. But
during the winter the trees roots
absorb very little moisture. Conse-
quently, if the leaves remained
on the tree and continued to tap
the water supply, the tree would
soon die. So Nature sentences
the leaves to death.
THE process used by Nature to
make the leaves fall is compli-
Gated. Weeks before the first
frost she begins to extract from
the leaves all the food substances
which the leaves manufacture and
which the tree needs, and gradually
the leaves wither. simultaneously,
thin-walled layer of cells is formed
at the base of the leaf where it is
attached to the twig. This layer
is zone of weakness so that
eventually the leaf falls of it's own
weight or is blown off by the
wind
''The scar left by the falling
of the leaf is well protected by Ma
ture. 1t Immediately become cover
ed with a substance which is prac-
ficas Waterproof Since the barn
of the tree also is almost impervious
to water. the entire tree is practi-
cally bottled up for the winter"
Davey said that the long
drought last summer was re-
sponsible for the early falling OF
the leaves in many sections of the
country this fall, Nature hasten
ed the leaf-dropping process, he
said, so that the tree would not
be robbed, through evaporation, of
the sap vital for it's existance.

HUNTERS WARNED OF DANGER

"Slow rabbits, emaciated rabbits on
apparently unhealthy animals should
not be touched with bare hands, I" thd
