From a publicity standpoint alone, the Exhibition is an invaluable as- set to the Province and merits the widest encouragement. But there is another and even more important aspect. which our farmer readers will keep in mind. The main object of the Exhibition quality production in is io encourage agriculture and livestock. Its function, primar- ily. is to benefit the rural sections. Absolutely essential to its success is the whoiehcartcd support and par- ticipation of our farmers and stock- brecdersand we trust that this year the advantage of this phase of the Exhibition, which has been given special care and consideration by the management, will be utilized to the fullest extent by all sections of the Province. The illcaning Of Bolshccisnt Coincident with Mr- Bernard Shaw's frank eulogy of Bolshe- vism and his advice to other na- tions to “follow Russia's example as soon as possible,“ comesa coun- icrblast from Mr. G- K. Chesterton which, we believe, will make a much wider appcal to thinking per- sons in this country. It is unneces- sary always to agree with ivfr. Chesterton to admire the vigor and courage with which he modern combats Dis- cussing the Soviet Five Year Plan in a rcccnt issue of G. KIs Wxlzly, he says the Bolshevists have always failed, from the very beginning 0t their first success; they have failed in the most vital sense in which human beings can fail. They have failed to desire the right tlimg, let alone deserving to obtain it. There is. he admits, no par- ticular reason for whitewashing; the {White Czars or the old imperialism of Russia with its Byzantine re- ligion and its almost Asiatic auto- cracy. But it, is quite certain that it did contain people with a larger culture than the Bolshcvist culture. There was nothing much the mat- ter with Marx, except that he cer- tainly had a. much narrower lrind than Tolstoy or Turgencv or Dos- tolevsky. Marx was "the sort of man who lives in the British Nfus- j-"im Library?’ while Turgencv was n lord of large landscapes, and Tolstoy had even worked in the fields, not to mention the battle- fields, and Dostoievsky had found hell and heaven in a howling wild- erness. The old Socialism had something of the same breadth, be- fore it passed through the narrow’- lng process which turned it into Boishevism. . A sound instinct told the old So- cialists that machinery was threat- ening to paralyze manhood.

Flor-instance, the ideal of Equality, which is the only possible basic defence of Com- munism, ls itself a highly mystical ideal and a. battered relic of Chris- tianity. Now so long as men live with some sort of leisure and dig- nity and patience, allowing time for debate, making allowances for de- ficiencies, feeling a certain subcon- sclous reverence for the subcon- scious values in every human soul. observing a common code of court- esy and even ceremony—so long as men can do this, they can really have the experience of equality; of equality at least so far as that group is concerned; whether it is a. group of peasants in an ale-house or of gentlemen in a. country-house. They feel equal because they are trying to share. and not merely trying to shine; still less merely trying to eclipse. But the moment you make the life merely practical; that is,‘ merely servlle to the in- stant needs of a machine, at that moment you instantly cease to have any equality; you always must and you always do. If the only consid- eration is how fast the machine is worked, the man is first who can work it fastest. 'I‘he machine will make men and break men; being a thing utterly dead and stupid, it will, of course, work for the ‘sur- vvival of the fittest.‘ Equality "will be dead and anything decent in Communism dead along with it. That is the simple meaning of the news from Russia." A Scott Centenary A British news bulletin states that preparations for the Sir Walt- er Scott Centenary Celebrations, i532, are now in full swing.

Spain has two groups more advanced than the Socialists, the Syndlcalists and Communists. The latter are neither more or less than anarchists; they would tear down any government because it is a. government and would for preference employ the most violent means available to ov- ercome their opponents. They have. however, comparatively little sup- port. The Syndicallsts, who are stronger than the Communists, are m_uch like the Russian bolshevik, They carry out their campaign with the help of clever and carefully thought-out plans.

APPENDICITIS may ,_.$h, m: AVOIDED About fifty years ago when ap- pendicitis was first ‘discovered, about the only patients operated on were those in whom there were de- finite signs, of peritonitis-inflam- mation of the peritoneum or: lining of the abdomen. 1t is this inflam- mation of the lining of the abdomen, and the covering of the abdominal organs, that causes the severe ill- ness and death in cases of appendi- citls. And this inflammation of the peri- toneum only comes aftcr the ap- pendix itself had been inflamed for many hours. The whole point then is that if the doctor ls sure that the case is appendicitis. and he gets the patient into hospital and operated on, with- in twenty four to thirty six hours, before the peritonitis starts. prac- tically every case of appendicitis should recover. What do the records show when there has been delay in operating? Dr. John O. Bower, Philadelphia, in reviewing over 5,000 cases of acute appendicitis where operation has been performed, shows that 1 patient in 39 dies if operation ls done within 24 hours; if within 48 hours, 1 in 17, within 48 hours 1 patient in 13; over 72 hours 1 in 9. The average length of time be- tween the time the symptoms first started and the operation, in those who lived, was 60 hours. of those who died about 100 hours. A Patient in good physical condi- tion in 99 cases out of 100 is safe if operated on within the first twelve hours. Without exception patients de. veioping severe peritonltisbefore l2 hours have been given laxatives. Now what about giving laxatives- casllll‘ 011. cpsom salts and so forth "when lhfl pain for which they are given happens to be appendicitis? Dr-Bower reports that of 160 cases in whom they were able to mid om, whether or not a. laxative had been taken after the pain started, 131 had peritonitis. 0f this number 134 over 98 per cent.‘ whohad taken a. laxative. What do the above results teach us? That delay in operation. and the taking of laxatives, were the cause of most of the deaths. ' Remember. in acute appendicitis, that there is only one gymptom always present. and that is pain, In 9 cases out of 10, there is ten- derness in the region of the ap- pendix. s0 if you have pain in the ab- domen take nothing, medicine o‘,- f°°¢ If Pain lasts over six hours call your doctor. Unmasking The Germs (New York Herald Tribune) The news dispatches are guilty 01' I10 hyperbole in describing the discoveries of Professor A. I.

The re- sults must be subiected, of course, to repetition and criticism by Pro- fessor Kendallsbacteriological peers, but that savantb reputa- tion as an experimenter is sufficient to establish a strong probability that no flaw will be found in his technique or his conclusions.

Its constitution may be criticis- ed from many points of view. But before criticising its results with those achieved by the very different broadcasting systems in other countries. Other forms of radio organiza- tion fall most conveniently into four main categories: (Iv complete State control, of which the best example is Russia; (2) State own- ership of stations. whose time is then leased to private enterprises; this can best be studied in France; (3) allocation of wireless stations and time to various specially form- ed societies. which is the Dutch system; and (4) pure private enter- prise, which obtains in the United States. (The writer reviews the Russllan, French and Dutch broadcasting systems)‘. None of these three systems. Judged either by principles or by results, has any claims to superior- ity over the B. B. C. system. There remains the American system of pure private enterprise, which has led in the States to the erection of over 600 stations. It is not DOB- sible to give even the most brief account to cover such a. diversity of voices.

The more powerful stations, such a.- WABC, WJZ, WEAF and the whole Atw-ater-Kent chain, exercise severe limitations upon the direct advertising that they allow. lint the weaker stations dare not do this and the most grotesquely offensive matter is sometimes broadcast. The publicity matter of “The BFBSSRIE You Love to Cuddle“ was sufficient- ly startling to an Ensliill 88!‘. m" i1; was outdone by u. programme in which "Roses are Blooming in Pic- ardy" and a series of similar songs were sung, one after another, by the directors. managers and depart- ment heads of a Jewish fur-store. odd, too, was the following an- nouncement: “This is station New York, calling.

Private enterprise had run its full course in producing stations USE BRAHMIN TEA And Enjoy Its Supreme Qualities 55c Per Pound Sold Only in Red Air Tight Packages which had actually no function at all, except, that of defrauding cer- tain advertisers. The results of adopting the Am- erlcan system in Great Britain would probably therefore be (1) an increase of the number of stations (which is not entirely a. benefit); (2) a vast decline in the general quality of programmes; (3) the broadcasting of certain very ex- pensive items now unobtainaivc: (l) the ending of certain o: tic best B.
