A Scheme To Raise Prices
A long discussion of Canada price declines outlines various schemes to revive purchasing power. It highlights money printing, local scrips, debt repudiation, and specifically Colin H. Burnell’s Collective Produce Clearing Association. The plan uses a $1 bond with stamps to circulate money and lift farmer incomes while sustaining market prices, though costs and margins are debated. The piece urges study by farmers and merchants as a potential temporary relief.

Mind and Happenings of Hatless Thought Noted

Birds Use Landmarks And Experience For Migration
The study suggests migrating birds likely rely on surroundings and experience rather than a single sense. An acute vision and an “eye brain” help identify landmarks, while hearing and wave sounds aid navigation.
