In his eighty-four years of life, Edison evolved more devices for the advancement and comfort of man- kind than any other mortal in his- tory.

Possibly his most outstanding achievements were the incandescent electric light and the phonograph, al- though his inventions and improve- ments will be found on innumerable items such as street cars, dictating machines, radios, motion picture cameras, machinery, wireless tele- graphy and telephony.

The Bank For Savings CAPITAL $6,000,000 RESERVES A tender youth of twelve years, p Edison began to earn his own bread 1:2 as a newsboy for the Grand Trunk Railway. One day at Mt. Clement s station, an act of bravery proved to : be the turning point in his career. He saw the station master s child playing on the track while a train Wm rapidly approaching. At the hazard of his own life he seized the infant and dragged it to safety. The station master in gratitude taught Edison the art of Morse telegraphy and thus introduced him to the eld of electricity where he was destined to accomplish his greatest works. In many respects Edison was a most peculiar and eccentric man. He violated virtually every canon in the typical success formula with the ex- ceptions that he was a poor boy and a very diligent worker. He left school as soon as possible, for as long as he remained he was at the foot of the class. He was most careless about his personal appearance. He smoked long black cigars and chew- ed tobacco. In his younger days he was frequently discharged from job: for incompetency and often turned his inventive genius, days, working time. He scoffed idea of sleeping the eight hours at night and would fre- quently remain awake continuously for several days at a stretch while working at his experiments. He possessed rare physical and mental stamina and never appeared to weak- en from his irregular mode of living.

One afternoon last March, while Edison was basking in the Florida ` sunshine, he took a tattered piece of paper and addressed a plea to God to give him ve more years of life. He wanted it, not because he was afraid to die, but because his work, which was his religion as well, was unnished. His death came in the midst of his ` most perplexing experiments. He sought to make the common golden rod perform duties for which appar- ently it was never intended-produce rubber. .~-.\. .1 :. uuuuz.

Somerset, chairman of the Ontario Marketing Board, makes a timely suggestion to municipal coun- cils and other bodies planning relief work for the winter. Potatoes have long been known as a healthful food, and at present prices a bag of po- tatoes will sustain a family for a given period at at lower cost than can be done with any other commodity. Potatoes can be purciiased at sacri- ce prices and by storing a quantity the cost of relief may be greatly re- ducekd.

The potato market is demoralized, not because we have a large surplus in Ontario, but rather due to gen- eral condition, and urge for cash and panic reports. This was the conclus- ion arrived at by a representative meeting of producers called by the Ontario Growers Markets Council, held on October 2nd. This meeting committee to consult Marketing Board. The solution arrived at is briey : 1. That all growers be urged to grade their stock carefully and offer for sale only rst`-class market pota- toes, the remainder to be kept for stock feeding. The crop this year is excellent, so the percentage of culls will be small. 2. That those handling potatoes and consumers co-operate in using Ontario s crop before importing this year. 2 THE? -All vnnnirincr nnfnfnnt year. 3. That all requiring potatoes purchase now at harvest time and take advantage of prevailing prices. IS THE SPEED LIMIT TOO SLOW ?

Every delegate who spoke on the subject expressed the opinion that the 35-mile limit is too slow, and All felt. in the number of g reckless driving were strictly en- I forced. Doubtless the tendency to-day is for speed and more speed. The auto- mobile manufacturers are vieing with one another b see who can produce the highest powered car. If there is to be no limit to the speed at which cars may travel, where is it to end ? We quite agree that the present speed limit is not obeyed. If that is the case, how is the ban on reckless driving to be enforced ? The depart- ment would have to station a police- man at everycrossroad. As we see it, there must. be a limit to the speed, and the only way is to have cars geared so that they cannot exceed a speed of over 40 or 45 miles per hour. That ought to be ' fast enough for anyone.

The A LL RELIEF WORK ONLY FOR 9/ THOSE IN ACTUAL NEE ` dealing with From the discussion in Parliament i last summer over the bill which gave the Government wide authority in relief, the impression went abroad that work would be pro- vided for everyone who was willing to work. The fundamental purpose of the relief measure, however, was ; to provide work for the needy. The experience has shown that many people who are only seasonally em- ployed any year and who have suffi- cient means to carry them through the winter till their season activities . are resumed, have registered on the list of the unemployed, and in many cases have been put to work. Others, more needy and without any re- cnnrr-at have nni . hpen found W0l`k. [`hc purcha.s`c of potatoes to store this purpose would benefit not y those in need of relief, but also farmers who are so hard hit at present time.

To provide work for everyone who claims to be out of a job, without regard to whether they have the means of sustenance, would be an expense so large that it could not be undertaken. 1' win: n-C G-kn R1-uannin1 nnndinns. undertaken. In view of the nancial conditions, it is urged that consideration be given those who have no resources and who would suffer if they were not given work or relief. With the price of potatoes and other produce as at present, those in straightened circumstances can do much to help ` ` themselves in providing for the win- ter, and with the various organiza- ' tions in town uniting in looking after I the needy, there should not be oc- casion for `spending large sums in -Barrie. Canadians who get excited over the attitude the United States has as- sumed toward our dollar, should bear ' in mind that although the Canadian dollar bill may be only worth 90 cents across the border, it is still worth 100 cents in Canada.

The total cost of these works were estimated at $11,514,000 and. according to agreement with the Government, are to be completed at the end of the current year. It is true that the Dominion agreed to pay in- terest for a limited riod on this capital cost, but ter receipt of this interest, the Canadian Pacic will still have expended over $10,600,000 from its own Treasury - in order to improve the situation I in the country generally.

Although the Company has suc- ceeded in making substantial re- ductions in operating costs, it has hesitated to pursue its policy of economy to the limit out of regard for the serious obligation which re_s_ upon all ggrporatipns to as mild) employr'ne'nt as possible. VVhi1e protecting the interest of shareholders as far as is consistent with its duty to the country, the Canadian Pacific has been con- servative in its application of measures which would increase the number of unemployed in Canada.
