they are self-evident and conclusive and are corrobora~ _ it-tl by the ntap. _ tliarlottetoivn is not involved aloney in thc fact that freight or passengers going to llalifax, for t-xznnple. ivottld bt- obliged to travel 71 miles fut‘~` _tht-r in going h_v the Capes route than if tltcy went by the l‘tctntt route, or 145 iitiles further in going to Syd-y itcy; the whole of the province from its centre to I-fast l’oint :intl .\lnt't'a_v Harbour is ittvolvt-tl. Similarly .'\`iniiinct'sitle is not involved alotie in the fact tltat

\\'ith the clear cnt start-int-iit subniittctl by the

Our province is small, it is trite. bitt our contribu-

tioit of foodstuffs to tlte \vorltl’s supply, is of coitsi- tleralile value and at present, with protluctiott greatly increased, it is more than ever important tltat every pound of it shall reach the markets _in tlte best pos- sible shape. .\ssnrt-d of adequate transportation ottr six titillioti bttsltels of potatoes could easily be doubled aiitl it is very likely to go far beyond the normal quatt- tity this year. This will also he trite of our other pro- ducts. lf we arc left to depend upon the Carferry alone :-_ very vntsitlcralilt- portion of our increased pro- duction will suffer as it diql last year. Tltis is sclf-evi- :lent :intl tlte proof has been submitted to tltc .\linister of Railways wlto, we feel contitleiit, will adopt the re- ntt-tl_v sttggested and tlte only one in sight.

That thc feeling against autoniobiles throughout

the province was as ivitlespread and as deep rooted as its enemies ivould-liavc its believe. ntay very well he tlonbtctl in face of the nitntcrous lcttt-rs frotit farmers appearing front time to time in tltc press advocating the nnrestrictetl use of the auto on all roads. l'ntil rt-- c_t-ntly the opponents of the :into made all the noise, occupied tlte f rottt of the stage. Today the others are taking a hand in the tlfscttssion; they refuse to ht: mis- represented, refuse to be classed among those wlto op- pose modern innovations, tnotlerii labour-saving tita- chinery, niotlern conveniences. Whether this indicates a cltange of opinion or an assertion of opinions pre- viously ltcltl matters little; the fact is that an increas-_ ingly large number of our people are demanding the . right to'avail themselves of the privileges available, everywhere else in the world, privileges to which they have a right and which noone has a right to deny them. _ ° _E

Mr. F. E. .\luzzy of .\`pringI`teld, i\lass., ivlto has

cotttribtttcll :i itntttber of -intercstiiig lt-tters to the (iuardian, directs attention in a recent letter to an old and scrious fatilt in connection with oitr fox business, namely negligence on the part of secretaries of coiti- panies in answering correspotitlcnce, and in generally keeping in touch vvith their patronsVand sltareltoltlcrs.

Neglect in atisivt-ring letters, busiitess or social, is

sitnply unpardouable antl there is tio excuse for it. ln social correspondence it lt:ts but one meaning, nantt-ly, that the _receiver wants to quit correspontiing atttl it is tisiliilly ;iccepit"d as 'such ; in lntsiiiess it int-ans that the receiver of the letter either has somt-tliing to hide frotii

his corrt-spont_lt_-'tit or docs not want to liavt- aiiytliing more to do with ltiiii. This is doubly annoying to the iiian wlitrlias"iti\'t‘stctl.money in the business tltat he is enquiring about and can get no iiiformatiott about. Na- tur,ally_ he infers that there is something wrong tvitli tltc business.. llis fears are conutiiiiticatt-tl to others and tlte husittess gets a black eye. \\"hen this occurs in conttt-ctioti with more than one fox rancli tlte tvltolc fox ranch httsiitessof the province cotiies tintlcr the stigma. Une nnfailing rtilt- in every properly conduc- ted lntsint-ss is to answer all letters promptly. V The htt- siness that fails in this cannot prosper.

.\lr, .\Ittzzy also makes a good suggestion in cott-

nection with publicity. He suggests that ranches send quarterly or semi-annual reports indicating tlte pro- gress and condition of their business, their litters, the prospects of a dividend etc., etc. Nothing could build tip the coitiicleitcciof the public in the fox business--or any other business-as could this constant information 'front ranch to stockholder. The stockltoldcr ivlto

knows what is going on in the business in wlticlt ltc ltas invested his ntoncy feels a sense of security in knowing the actual conditions whether they arc favourable or otherwise. He feels that he is in tlte confidence of those who are thc custodians of his money and that nothing is being tloite behind his back. Mutual conti- dencc is the keynote of success in any business in wlticlt men are mutually interested' This is especially true of a new litisiness like thc fox industry. There are few ranches in the pt'ovittce, we believe, that can- not affortl to take their stockholders into their conti- dence. lf there are those wlticlt cannot then their only reasott is disltonesty attd the sooner tltcy art- t,-xposctl the better for all ttoitcernctl. . _
