This is a gift that is much appreciated by the executive, who have the respon- sibility of looking: after the welfare of the unfortunate children at the Si'lC1:'CC1'. There is no better way of investing" money than in the children in our midst. The town of C0lllI1.`,'WO0(1 has had rather hard luck with industries 10- cating in that town and considerable money has been lost to the corpora- tion through the failure of the con- cerns. The Empire Shoe and Nip- per Co., which recently closed its doors, leaves a long` list of creditors, the town s share being $5,728, while the Government has a claim of $542 for unpaid sales tax. Industries seeking concession and capital in towns should be carefully investi- gated before making any agreement or guaranteeing" any nancial help. The report on conditions at the Collegiate ilnstitute made by Princi- pal Girdwood at the Board meetin'._1` will require serious thougzht. The progress made by the Collegiate in the last few years should not be lost sight of and if this progress is to continue, as there is every indicutir-n that it will, an addition must be made to the present builcling. With an enrolment of 47? stu;le.*.ts the Collegiate is now overcrowde-.1 and the staff cannot do justice to the classes. The principal and his staff are endeavoring .to do their best un- der existing; conditions, but the Board must be alive to co-operate and pro- visions must be made to give the principal and teachers a fair chance to keep up the enviable record at- tained by Ithe school.

The Department of Lands and Forests, under the supervision of Chief Forester E. Zavitz, will plant certain areas of burnt over and cut timber lands this fall. This will be in the nature of an experiment and if the idea proves practicable large areas will be planted next year. The department is collecting some 30,000 pounds of red and white pine seed for the purpose and for the bedding 7 of seed at the Provincial nurseries for the production of seedlings for if reforestation purposes. Much of this seed is collected in the Georgian Bay district, where the cones are purchased from farmers. The cones are taken to the extraction plants, one being; operated at Angus, and the seed extracted. A bushel of cones will produce about one pound of seed when treated. Each pound of seed contains about 30,000 .in- dividual seeds, which according to experiments carried out, should pro- duce fteen to twenty thousand seedling plants. At a recent meeting of the Can- adian Purchasing Agents` Associa- tion held in Toronto, one of the .=peak.i~rs said that to many Can- adian-: the word importeri" has a fascination that they could not re- sist. There is more than a measure of truth in the statement and it be- llO0V(3:. Canada to look around and discover the reasons. It cannot be claimed that imported goods are superior to Canadian made 5.-'oods, and in matter of price a comparison g'enerall_v favors the whome-made article, but still the demand for im- . ported L-`oods prevails to a very large and unwarranted extent. Some people imagine that imported goods are superior. It is like home talent -shoved aside for something` im- ported, which often proves infenior. Patriotic education seems to be the only cure for the ills of spendinp; our ;:ood Canadian money outsirle the Dominion at the expense of our in- dustries, to say nothing: of the loss to our merchants. Instead of so much raw material being shipped to foreign countries and then pur- chased back again in manufactured articles, Canada should work this raw material into the finished pro- duct at home, save the difference in haulage both ways, and at the same time build up Canada by furnishing work for our inhabitants` and keep the money in circulation in the Dominion.

During that time the district lying in the path of the eclipse will be in total darkness.

Nevertheless, cash payments on account of outstanding` obliga- tions have been received in lar,<;er volu-me than for some years past. Mild weather in Eastern Canada has militated against the sale of many articles of merchandise, but there is no doubt but that with the coming,-' of colder weather business general1_v will improve. 1+ tlnr-2 nnf nnr\nin1' tn lmn n-nun-i-nllv \\'Il1 lIll[)l`UVC. It does not appear to be g'enerally realized that all over the Dominion the returns from the crops have been above the averag,-`e. In the Maritime Provinces, for example, apples and potatoes have given a bumper yield, while in Ontario, _e`enerall_v, the crops have been much better than for a number of _\'ears. The yield of grain from the prairie provinces is less than a year ago, but the ad- vance in prices has made the total cash proceeds approximately equal, while the cost of handlin_;` the crop is consi(leral)l_\' less. Another hope- ful feature is the good demand for our dairjv products during: a season when the pa; has been more than ordinarily luxuriant. In Europe ])1`O_`.1`1`OSS seems to have been made t0\vard.< a more orderly state of allairs, which should help to make the f01`(.`l;.,"l1 market for Canadian products more reliable. It is also cheering` to note that the for- eign trade of the United l{in`-e'dom continues to expand. British imports for September were 27,(32-1,410 g'rea.ter than a year ago, while there xvnq an inm-nnqn in flu: nvnr-an n1" in1_ g1'L'zLLc1` Lllklll 2.! yuan` zL:.',U, wnuc l.llUl'U was an increase in the excess 01' im- ports amounting: to 1(3,'T31,00(`.

To the Unitcil liingdom, as well as to practically all other countries abroad, Canadian products are nding; their way _in growing volume. nuvinrv f.hr- ~:nwm1nr n1nn`H1,< Hwnvn growing V70l\1Hl(.`. During the summer months there was a steady decrease in the num- ber of workmen employed by Car`.- adian industries, but it would ap- pear that towards the end of Octo- ber this tendency was arrested. At many industrial points factory em- ployment has shown a slight increase and, ,generally speaking`, there-is a more optimistic sentiment in antici- pation of larger purchases by rural districts, in the majority of which conditions have obviously improved. There is no indication, however, that ` business will be buoyant, as the pub- lic appears to be exercisin._e' more than usual care in the matter of : personal expenditures. The disposi- tion towards economy is par- ticularly marked in rural districts, where it extends not only to per- sonal expenditures, but also to the outlay for farm implements. It may be noted that in some of the best agricultural districts of the West not a single binder has been sold this season, and in practically all dis- tricts the demand for z1g1`icultun1l machinery has been confined to necessary purchases.

In both countries the electors had grown tired of Radical- ism and so-called Liberalism, which has produced such dissappointing re- suits, and they have declared for parties, which, if nothing else, at least stand four-square on big pub- lic issues. 1 1 .1 1 - 2., ,,:n ,1..- L- IJU IDDLICD. In both countries it will also be observed that the electors have de- clared overwhelminglv for avowedly protectionist governments. On this issue there is no doubt as to where the Republican party in the United States stands. It stands, not only for protection, but for a very large mrrn:nrI- nf if.

In ,L>,'eneral its leaders have come to the conclusion that the old policy of free trade will not do. This does not mean that they are going in for a tariff policy as sweeping as that of the United States, but it does mean that they will adopt as much protection as they think good for `Great Bri- tain. And after all, that is all that should be expected of any party. To adopt protection does not mean that you adopt a prohibitive tarif r', but it does mean that you adopt enough, one high enough to pro- mote the national welfare. 1-. u . L` ,; n,.,,x, Auuu; mu; uuuuucu VV\.LLLLA\.u It stands to reason that Canada will be affected by these sweeping decisions in other countries. Not only so, but the effect will be very pronounced in this country.

"I`h?L~ mninw +n (`nn=nvunHcn1 is DC DZUI I01` US. This swing` to Conservatism is bound to be felt in this country. Already there are indications of it. 'l`he public are tired of the policy of uncertainty that has followed to so lame an extent the adoption of so-called Liberal and Radical policies since the war. The people are set- tling down, and in proportion as they do so they are sure to get back to old standards, and old principles, which have b1'ou_e'ht Canada, Great Britain and the United States to the hi}.-;h place they occupy in the life of the world.
