be given with regard to potatoes. The prospects for the present season are highly encouraging, but they are dependent upon the market being sinfully nursed. There should be no unnecessary break as has hap- poned in the past through injudi- cious marketing.

Recently New Brunswick exper- ienced a setback in the Toronto market duc to lack of oo-opcration in regulating shipments to meet the ulsrket demand. The price was $1.50 per barrel in Toronto, and the On- tario supply was speedily being exhausted, when no fcuier than 54 oarloads of New Brunswick potatoes were suddenly dump- od on the market. The result was that the price dropped to 90 cents- the figure at which it now remains. and will likely remain until the excessive marketing ceases.

Here we have excellent prospects

Living Itself is an ark-but, on the other hand, it is woven with a multitude of arts that are essen- tial in order to be happy and make others happy. There is one art. among all. however, that should be mastered by all -the art of happy adjustment. Rarely do things turn out as exactly as we wish, and what a. number 0i things tum out the opposite of our wishes. or our plans, or our dreams. so it is that adjustment is necessary all through life.

A tendency noticahle during the past few years has been to rush supplies at tho beginning 0f the season. Two years ago this happened for the best; but last year it was notvso, and all indica- tions are that the wiser policy at present is for our producers to "make haste slowly" and be guided by caution of cirpm-ience.

Earnest minorities are dangerous. Mussolini began by leading a min- ority. Lenin led a. minority. Hitler led a minority. One hundred fan- atical minority fighters are worth ten thousand indifferent votcrs who do not vote or who allow them- selves to be voted by party mach- ines. If the informed and respon-
