‘XIQIIQIMI: ' - Ink-Dino.- l FRIDAY, JAN. 26,1923 FARIERO’ HIITI llt ia to be regretted that the‘ weather has been so unpropttioua for the farmers‘ meetings this week-The attendance is much smaller than had been hoped for ’ altbmlfl quite a number of far- . niers from distant‘ points hrs present. ‘The wisdom of holding these annual conventions in wid- ter may well be questioned. Even the finest of winters, little depend- ence can be placed on the weather and the prospect of being held up by a snow blockade on tho ‘railway is not an alluring one to those who are a day's journey away, This question‘ might well br considered. There are periods dur lng the summer when attendance ' at such conventions would mean an enjoyable and needed holiday as well as a matter Q1’ 11115111685- lPhere is no doubt that much oi the value of this year's‘ confer- ence has been lost on account oi the time of meeting. These iarniers‘ conventions are purely agricultural in their pur- pose and in this province the word agricultural embraces prac tically all our other activities.

The Englehardts were friends oi Mrs. ISclloel-lkopf, and when she arrived in New York ar- rangements were made for some slight entertainment. Common iriends, the ‘Manna. planned to give a New Year's Day party. The day before New Year's Mrs. Scho- Year eve party would take place at the apartments of ‘Frank Barrett Carmen, a friend of hers, who was unable to leave the house.

In the marine service there ls a worthy tradition that in case of disaster the captain shall be the last man to leave the sinking ship. At such a moment he cannot va- cate his captaincy and claim a right to enter the first boat that is lowered. Every passenger, every common seaman has precedence over him at that time in the mat- ter of personal safety. Being "at the head" carries with it certain very grave responsibility. whether it be on a sinking ship nr a sink- ing company and it would be well for all concerned if the honored traditions of the sea were more respected on the land. That is why shareholders in Farm Products are now looking to the "men at the head" of that concern, and ask- ing for such information as is due to them.
