There has been a steady =

TEMPORARY
MEASURES
"No Apology" Says Premier,
As 25,000 Jobs Are Opened
To Canadians by Revislons

OTTAWA, Sept. II Q.N.S).-A
severe jolt to imports from the
United States was faced today in
the increased tariff rate on 130
articles as proposed by Premier
r. B. Bennett and made effective
today. The premier offered the
increased tariffs. the highest IN
the history Of Canada, In a bill
to the house committee on ways
and means as a method Of reliev-
ing unemployment in Canada.
The premier said that in
creased rates we're only tenn
porary and were designed to aid
$4,000 workers without jobs in
Canada. He indicated after the
unemployment period passes re-
visions would be made in the
tariff rates.
% Per Cent More
Iron. steel, cotton and woolen
textiles, silks, shoes, paper, cop
per bars, gasoline and agricul.
tural implements are the heaviest
hit in the new proposals. All are
subjected to increases OF about
Is per cent,
To safeguard consumers, pro-
vision was made that if manu-
facturers increase the prices OF
certain sarticles, the cabinet may
reduce or remove the duties.
Premier Bennett, however, said
assurance has been given that
no increase in prices to consum-
ers would be made.
Starts Today
Altogether ITO items in the ex-
listing tariff were repealed and
1874 new ones enacted. All
changes are to be effective today.
Premier Bennett said this was
not a general tariff revision, but
only changes that will give EN-
ployment to a large number OF
men and women in Canada. Pro
lection has been practiced by all
parties in Canada and it was for
the purpose Of protection that!
the tariff was being revised. to-
afford equality of opportunity to
Canadians in pursuance OF the
mandate given by electors.
mo Apology"
Bennett announced there was
to be a general revision of the
tariff at the next regular session
of Parliament because the exist
ing schedule was full OF ana
chronisrns and was unsound IN
many particulars. He stated:
I'VE have assurance these
tariff changes will give employ
ment within few weeks to
more than $4,000 people.
"We propose to provide that
requirements of 100000 peO-
ple living in Canada shall, as
far as possible, be provided by
Canadian producers. Counter
vaiIing duties against the
United States are repealed, and
instead of living in a clOud4
land of conjecture and doubt
we have definitely stated in
the schedules rates that will
apply, Ample duties are i'm
posed that will be effective
and for them we offer no
apology"

BULLETIN BY FARM BOARD
Explains Methods Used by Farm
ers for Cooperative Machinery

What farmers are doing with
government assistance to set up
cooperative machinery, owned and
controlled by themselves, to mar
ket in their interest the crops they
produce, is described in a bulletin
issued by the Federal Farm Board.
This new publication, Bulletin No.
3, entitled Farmers Build Their
Marketing Machinery" explains
the national program of commod-
ity cooperative marketing being
developed under the Agricultural
Marketing Act; gives detailed in
formation of the progress made to
December 1, 1880, and tells how
the individual farmer may partici-
pate in the program and what
benefits will come to him from
such participation Maps and
charts are used to show how the
various commodity co-operatives
operate and the territory they
serve. The bulletin emphasizes
that the marketing activities of
cooperative associations handling
a particular commodity are being
centralized in a single cooperative
sales agency. The territory COW
cred by the central agency de-
pends upon the commodity to be
marketed, and may be local, reg
ional or national in scope. All are
built from the local association up
and not from the top, or central
agency, down. The services of all
co-operatives receiving financial
assistance from the Board are op-
en- to all farmers on an equitable
basis. Once a central cooperative
sales agency is recognized, the
Board has established the policy of
aid through the central
rather than dealing with the indi-
associations handling that
particular commodity. The bulle-
tin is being widely circulated
through educational agencies such
as the y. S. Department of Agri-
culture, agricultural colleges, ex-
pertinent stations, extension work
ars, vocational agricultural schools
-co-operatives, general farm or
sanizations and state departments

URGES POULTRY INSPECTION
Bill introduced in Senate to Regu-
late Canning of Meats

Rigid inspection of the output of
poultry packing establishments is
provided in a bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Daniel o. Hast
ings of Delaware, and referred to
the committee on agriculture, of
which Senator John c.. Townsend
of Delaware is a member. There
are several such establishments in
Delaware, which are reputed to
put out an exceptionally fine prod
uct. Raising the standard, as pro-
posed, will operate to the advant-
age of the best concerns. Canned
chicken and turkey are principally
concerned. In addition, the Hast

try and all poultry products. All

the Secretary of Agriculture may
direct. Products found on inspec-
tion to be unsound are to be
marked as unfit for human con-
sumption and destroyed by the
owner of the plant under the eye
of Federal Inspector Sanitary
conditions in plants are made sub
ject to inspection. Fines up to
$4,000 and Imprisonment up to
three years are provided for the

BEST TIME TO BUY FARM
Carroll Lowe Elected President of
Farm Bureau Association

Buy farm now and it will pay
you for it in ten years." said DR..
Thomas Symons in his address
before the Talbot County Farm
Bureau Federation, held in the ele-
mentary school recently. "The best
day to buy farm that ever was
is now" he continued. The future
OF Talbot county, he said, lies in
cooperation in marketing daily
products, poultry, canning products
and fruits. In the morning a res
olution was adopted calling for the
enactment of necessary legislation
which will enable the retiring
county treasurer to be relieved of
his bond for the collection of tax
es, without the necessity of enforc-
ed collection of unpaid taxes on
farm property, and that this legis-
lation also empower the county
commissioners to issue sufficient
bonds to meet necessary expendi-
lures for one year. Another reso-
luton favored the whipping post
as a punishment for poultry
thieves. The resolution urges the
legislative representation to secure
the necessary legislation. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Carroll Lowe, Mcdaniel: vice
president, Edmund E. Thomas of
Easton; secretary-treasurer, G. B.
Rleman, Easton; executive COM
mittee, Charles E. Wilson, Easton:

shaking ensued. They were good
people and good citizens. I have
seen persons, who were 10th to
confess themselves. Roman Cath
olics, Churchmen, Methodist, and
Presbyterian, etc., but have new
er yet met with "Friend" who
was ashamed of his church con-
nection. Between the Friends
ground and Mapping, now the
property of A. Stockley, was the
residence of Piner Mansfield. He
was Matchmaker, Jeweler and
Dentist. Mr.. Mansfield was much
and deservedly esteemed. He was
local preacher; at that day the
Methodist preachers denounced
Church Ritualism and such amuse-
ments as theatres, horse racing,
cards, dancing, novel reading, ETC.
A staple theme with them was
dress. The wearing of good ap-
parel, artificial flowers, feathers,
wells, etc. were an abomination. 1
often stood in front of the shop
windows of Mr. Mansfield and of
Ephriam Jefferson, who was also a
local preacher and one of the best
men I ever knew, and wondered
how it was, that they kept, good
rings, chains, seals, pins, ear-bobs,
ETC., for sale if it was wrong for
people to wear them. As I had
never heard Parson Robinson or
Piggett, Protestant Episcopal
clergymen preach against wearing
such articles, I concluded it was
wrong for Methodist only. and
that it was wrong for Methodist
only, and that it was right for Mr..
Mansfield and Mr.. jefferson to sell
them to anybody else How things
have changed; Methodist meeting
houses" then were as bare and un-
comfortable as they could make
them and usually located in some
out of the way place or back
street, to reach which darkness
and much had to be contended
with. Recently I visited an NJ F.
Church, the site on which it was
built cost $4,000 and the edifice
cost more than as much more. The
of the building will
compare favorbly with any in the
United States. The windows are
of stained glass, the pews cush-
ioned and the floors Brussel car
peted. Flowers adorned the pull
pit, and several musical instru-
ments accompanied the organ and
the whole might have been taken
for grand cathdral. / was told
that there was a debt on the
church of about $4,000 and T.
firmly believe that if the jewelry
hat was worn by that congrega-
ion that morning, had been cast
nto the basket COLLECTION, that it
would have more than paid off the
lebt on the church. That debt has
since been paid; the congregation
still wear their Gold and costly
and are nevertheless
amed for their zeal for God and
rood works to humanity.

WATER GAUGE ON
COMPLETED

The United States Geological Sur-
vey has finished installing an auto
matte water gauge on the Santa
Cruz river at the Peterson place on
the Bue1Ta Vista ranch, about five
miles southeast OF the pumping
plant.
The device is anchored to high
bluff, and a. standpipe about 40
feet high and 36 inches in diameter
is sunk to bedrock in which has
been placed automatic measuring
devices. 1t is q permanent installa-
ton, costing several thousand dol
lars, and will determine shortly
whether the flow of the Santa Cruz
warrants construction of an irriga-
zion storage dam across the stream.
F.. A. French, who lis known as
"the father of the plan to dam
up the Santa Cruz and Sonoita riv-
ers, says that two different Los An
geles outfits are figuring on build
ing the dams and that they viii be
constructed without delay IL the flow
of the streams proves sufficient.
