Thomas recently, Pierre _C; Starr of New York, who calls himself a diagnostician" as ap- plied to the newspaper business`, as- serted emphatically that the local lad- vertisers in the smaller cities and (towns get better results. than the lo- }. cal advertisers in e the larger cities. .I have _no..,hesitation;"v he said, in sayingtliat tihe-advertisements in the - I a smaller a. pav,91'8:' today - have far more pull than they had a few years agh. Supt. W. E. rWeegar recentlyis-` jsued a bulletin to all employees on the "Al1andale Division,` C.N.R., in which he urged" them to talk to their children earnestly about the dangers of walking or playing on railroad tracks and ask them to promise never to play on the railroad and never to catch rides on railroad cars. This is good advice and is worthy of the at- tention of all parents`. Those not connected with railroads need it per- haps more than the C.N.`R. employees whose daily duties make them alive to the dangers referred" to. Similar advice might be. generally applied. In these days of hustle and bustle, with traffic on streets and highways becoming continually-`vmore congest- ed, the children cannot be too strong-'2 ly impressed with the necessity of ob- serving the motto Safety ' First" wherever they go. ` for Tractor positions in the West this harvest.

QT A reporter in searchof a `.`human interest" story asked a` number of :successful bankers and business men how they made their rst thousand dollars, says the Youth s Companion. `One of them replied that he didn't- gmake it in any particular "way. It {was like the old negro cook s. hash, .he said, Someone asked her how Ishe, made hash. `Bless you, missus, I'she replied, `nobody makes hash. T It ;just -'acc`umulates . But you _can t {get hash unless you save the mater- 3 ials as they accumulate, and you can't get yourthousand dollars unless you ' isteadily save some of the moneythat liyou earn. The June statement of. operating costs for the Canadian National Rail- ways shows areduction in operating decit of June, 1924, of 53.3 per cen ., reduced receipts being more . than offset by a reduction of over two million dollars in operating expenses. For `the six months period, a decrease of 8.1 per cent. in earnirigs"was`met by a reduction of 9.3 per cent. inop- erating costs. It is evident that the [management's efforts to keep down i expenses is meeting with a consider- able measure of success. Thepeople `would like to see even more a steady iincrease in the `receipts. 'Commenting.upon the fact" that a resident of Alliston `was ned for speeding in Barrie, the Herald says there "is "plenty of room for similar action in Alliston. It is notorious, ' it says, that the speed law is violat- ed every day in this town." The same might be said of Barrie, though the speedsters are becoming more care- ful,since numerous nes have been imposed. Motorists who exceed the speed limit have no cause for com-; plaint if they are ned. They know the law. If they break it and are caught, they should- take their med- icine and say nothing. / The Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Telegram -sees in the ap- pointment of the Hon. Charles Stew- art and Senator Dandurand as dele- gates to the assembly of the League of Nations at `Geneva an indication that there will not be any Federal election till late in the Fall. ;These delegates will _not be home before October and the Telegram is of the opinion that the Government is not likely ;to bring on an election with `such a valuable campaigner as Hon. A Charles Stewart absent. Barrie is one of the few towns notl providingta tourist-camp. This means of catering -to tourist traffic is re-, ceiving much attention in most On- tario towns, both large and" small, especially those upon .the main tourist routes. The town of Simcoe, for ex-t ample, has expended $300 for con- veniences, and in referring to this vote the Reformer says: Cvandidly, we think that.$300 was the most jud- iciously spent money- that the 1925 councillors have parted wit_.. A traveller lost a wallet containing `$1000 in a Belleville hotel. It was found by a woman employee, turned over to the manager `and in due course. reached .the owner, who re- warded the nder :with the municent sum of one dollar. A_piker like that didn't deserve to recover his thou- sand. : Postmaster Darrhochlpf/Collinhgwood calls attention to. the fact. that per- " sons who place advertising circulars or other mail matter in rural delivery boxes without the necessary postage being affixed render themselves liable to a heavy ne.

They are not able to charge `depreciation of plant. against annual income, When `these wear out they expect to secure` new plant in the sameymanner as _the original build-` ings were secured, viz., by gifts` from the public. Therefore, they must make frequent -appeals and repeated appeals to the public for funds to aid and supports these institutions. The public must always be ready to listen to these appeals and proffer help.

He may not be un-Can- adian; he ay be just a passive `Can- adian en itled to the distinction by reason of living under the British ag. -'It is true that the British ag protects many people not wholly wor- thy of its high standard, and to be fully entitled to the name Canadian one must square his living `with high principles of citizenship that imbued the, fathers who founded this Dom- inion.

Simcoe County .Council isuffered - the lossjof one of its most, valued members through the passing of De- puty-Reeve William Williams of the town of Collingwood on ; Tuesday night. During his `years in this mun- icipalbody he rendered nef seryice, in his own. quiet, undemonstrative way, his scholastic experience espec- : ially tting him for the chairmanship 1 of-the Education Committee, in the work of which he. took a. deep inter- est." Mr.. Williams was a m-an of few words and when he expressed this ' views in council they always com- - manded attention -and respect. withstanding the fact that he had ' passed the Psalmis_t s thr_ee score Not- years and ten," when most men ask to be excused from public affairs, Mr. . Williams had held the onerous posi- tion of Chairman of Finance in Coll- `- ingwood Council for several years,` and with marked advantage to, the municipality. Valued as was this ser- vice, it. was smallcomp-ared to the contribution he made to the life of the community as principal of the Collingwood high school for three de- cades. During his regime, this school became one of the foremost institu- tions of its kind in the province.-.' In many parts of Canada and the United States are prominent men and wo- men who enjoyed the benet of his teaching and by them his memory will long be held in affectionate re- gard.- Although he entered newspa- per work comparatively late in life, he soon mastered the` details of the? _ printing and publishing business and "1 f1' days 1`"""`8' ga- canvas coat with ad ,tl_ie winter they travelled immense distances, and Mr. Morren said that - of getting it out. - inorth in the early ` !ing.'

Few Signs of Minerals Patricia is more hilly than the part of Manitoba to the west and has more timber. He couldnot see. however, .that the timber would be of any com- mercial value, owing to the difficulty The rivers all run- north to Hudson's Bay. The portion of Patricia through which they tra- velled was about /the fifty-fourth par- allel, some 325 miles north of Sioux Lookout. The country to the east was_ of much the same character and there were few signs of mineral- bearing rock. They went east to the Trout Lake post and further east one hundred miles to a point not far from the northern extremity of James Bay. 500-lb.
