V Page I-`on : E_Dl.TORl.AL COMMENT- Although the 1 educational side should be the main purpose of fall fairs, the special attraction of a pure- ly entertaining nature is necessary to the success `of any `agricultural show nowadays. How to provide wholesome attractions that have good drawing power and.are within their means is one of the problems which fair _directors find not easy to solve. In the opinion of the Farmers Advo- cate, local attractions can be made of great value to a fair._ Ball games, tugs of war and other athletic con- tests, where lgnown people and teams are involvedre proving very good attractions,.- says the Advocate. There-is nothing like local talent to bring out local `people, yet the fall fairs have persisted in bringing tal- ent from a distance and running up expenses unwisely and .unnecessarily.. .'l`he mot successful fairs today `are those that work in the local organ- izations, and their talent, along with some special features that give a prominent place to juvenile members of _the community. Untilrecent years the young folk have been frowned upon, but there is nothing thatwould livenup the fall fairsquite-asmuch as young blood on gthegfair `boards and recognition ofthexboys and girls in almost every department` of the fair itself.-' `Pageants 1 and perform. ances executed by local`-talent -have - a magnetic in'uence'.which all."fall fairs `should -utilize to the best of. their power." _ .. , . .uw mesnpers 01: lnnlny rarisn Guild enyed a social evening at the home of rs. G. S. Webbilast Fxfiday. One would hardly think that the boll weevil which plays such havoc with the United States cotton crop _oould have any effect` upon the de- velopment of Ontario's mineral re- sources, yet such may be the case. The U. S. Bureauof Entomology es- timates that 150,000 tons of rened arsenic will be needed this year to light the boll weevil in the cotton crop of the South. This is five times the world's annual production. As a result, attention is being focused on Canadian arsenioal deposits and sev- eral U. S. rms have been looking over high grade deposits, suchas are found in Hastings County. - It is un- derstood that New Yorkers are at present considering the purchase of this property. It has been known for vears that -the above deposit was about the highest grade in the` world and there have been numerous offers for the `property by American i ter- ests. but the owner, loyal Cana ian that he is, would not consider any that involved the shippinglof arsenic concentrates out of the country. As a result of the increased demand, ' United `States capitalists -may pur- chase the deposits and agree to have all the operations done on Canadian ` - l ` Ii \IblIllII A uunvv uasvvu VVIVII AI Barrie Examiner that the kindly thought behind the Goldwater Wo- men's Institute s suggestion that the name of the House of Refuge be changed merited more considerate treatment, andthat if there are real reasons why the change should not he made the committee might have had the courtesy to state them. Failure to do so, 7 says the Packet, leaves a suspicion that theiretention of the present name has behind it a feeling that it `acts as a `deterrent in keeping old peoplefrom going there except underjstress of absolute ne-A cessity. But that is not the spirit in which the -people- of.ASimcoe desire their old folks home to be adminis- tered. 4 The. Beaverton Express attaks the people of Orillia as being responsible for having The National restored to run over the Barrie Division and suggest that the action Wes the re-' sult of political interference. In this the Express is quite mistaken. The National was changed simply because the management. of the C. N.'_ R. _found the present route more advantageous for handling their through passenger train. In an interview with the Financial Post, Hon. T. A. Crerar expressed the opinion that the [West has turned the corner and that better times are ahead. Last week the'w1`-iter heard the same viewv expressed by two `prominent Wetern newspapermen. one from Manitoba and the other from Sskatchewan. l vvvo In Barrie, as well as Orillia,` the work of `the community nurse, here carried on_ under the Victorian Order, has proved of decided.benet-fa;' exceeding the $500 grant asked of the Council, which would mean less than seven cents per capita of pop- ulation. the deputation, sajd the . records showed .an average infant death rate during the years 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920 of 104 per thousand births, which had been reducedduring 1921*, .1922 and 1923to 62 per thousand. These were the three years a public health nurse had `been established in Orillia, and whileit was not claim- ed that the whole decrease was due to the nurse, it was a commonsense_ proposition that the work had its ef- fect. * v\ I II A III!` `I The .membrs at Trinity `parighi `mild Aninvn n anninl nunhlnm cl 4-)...

To many people not intimately `connected with the Comnany, but who take pride in the predominance of `Canadian `institutions, the evid- ence of widespread prosperity. and 'of the growing sense of prudence and responsibility on the part of great masses o neonle, which the re- bort so abundantly demonstrates,.:will afford particular satisfaction.

Business in force reaches the colossal figure of `$703,765,243-an increase of $72,360,373 over 1922. Policies actually issued and paid for numbered 35,975 for a total of $107,- 391,255. This is the highest total ' ever reached by the Company in a sin'a'le year. Payments to policy- holders and beneciaries amounted to $22.1,45,979.- This affords strik- ing `evidence of the degree in` which the Company is fullling itsmission. Cash income for the year from all sources was equivalent to over $900,- 000 for each week of the year and . assets passed the two hundred million _dollar mark. Interest earned on the mean invested funds was 6.20 per cent. and profits to the amount of $4.417,068 were paid or allotted to pol cyholders.

Entering the service of his bank in 1878, Sir Frederick has a long record of forty-ve years to his credit, during which time he has seen the remarkable growth of the Dominion in every line and in which he has played a no small, part from his angle of , interest and expert knowledge. Not only did he receive knighthood in recognition of his many public-spirited services, but he is entitled to many university de- grees. Sir Frederick, in addition to being a banker of renown, is a dir- ector of several large nancial and trust companies and an official of the Canadian Bankers Association. In his earlier days he was a noted lover of athletics in its many forms, both summer and winter. i OUR -CANADIAN % WHO S WHO 4 &%%iw%%%&%&w&| GREAT YEAR FOR sun LIFE NIL- AAA.-- :_I.s,..I _, A sa.{::I.T: 1.1.; THE BARRIE EXAMINER - ' % wiwg It pays to read The Examiner Ad- let Cplumn.
