L "You Need Colborne Store* as Muck as They Need You" INDUSTRIAL GAINS SHOWN IN RECORDS Some indication of the general upward trend in the various industries of Canada, which was pronounced in 1933 and continued with growing tainty into 1934 can be gained from the following condensed reports taken from the records of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Exports of forestry products in the twelve months ended October 1934, .were valued at $155,177,000, an increase of $27,800,000 or nearly 22 per cent, over the previous comparable period. Exports to the United Kingdom and the United.. States both -tn- The current trend in the fisheries is best shown by the exports, which in the twelve months ended Octoher, 1934, were valued at $21,482,000 an increase of $2,912,000 over the corresponding period of 1933. In the first half of 1934, the production of metallic and non-metallic minerals totalled $181,942,000, an increase of 45 per cent, over the same period of 1933.

The recovery of construction contracts to $liii9,749,300 in the first eleven months of 1934 as compared with $89,082,300 in the same period of 1933 is one of the most favourable signs on the economical horizon.

"Need any assistance?" inquired the new-comer courteously. The other man lifted his flushed and grimy face from; under the bonnet. "Yes," he replied, "I wish you'd answer my wife's questions while I'm fixing this confounded engine." QUEEN'S PARK ( By the Observer) Premier Hepburn and his new Government are fighting a battle to save Ontario power users literally hundreds of millions of millions of dollars on their electricity bills during the next several decades. In assailing the validity of the Conservative administration's power tie-ups with Quebec private corporations, the Liberal Prime Minister of Ontario is raising an issue which means dollars1 and cents--yes, and even jobs-- to every Ontario citizen of the present and future. Rural Ontario cannot afford to un-der-estimate the importance to agriculture of the battle now being waged at Queen's Park--it means in many thousands of rural homes the difference between the availability and economic unavailability of Hydro for farmers. In essence, as the facts become apparent in the Legislature and in Queen's Park corridors, the province is obliged to pay $15 per horse power for unwanted electricity which Premier Hepburn, Attorney General Roebuck and their colleagues of the cabinet say should ahve been purchased --if purchase were inevitahle-- at a much lower figure. The capitalization and financial ste-ups given by Government spokesmen to the Legislature have revealed according to statements, a series of power purchase deals immensely profitable to Quebec private power corporations but apparently disastrous to the people's Hydro venture. Unless the Premier wins his battle against Quebec power barons, the Ontario user of electirclty is doomed to pay higher prices for power. With the Hydro Commission newly striving for increased distribution of electricity in rural Ontario, hopes of "electrification" in many farm homes are to be blasted -- unless Premier Hepburn wins the present fight at Queen's Park. Economically, the issue as drawn is one of the most important this province has faced for many a year. Increased power costs would mean increased production costs in industry; this would mean less business in competition with world industry; in turn, this would mean fewer jobs for urban workingmen; and, in its turn, this would mean less urban 'buying power with which to make rural Ontario prosperous. To an observer in Queen's Park during the past few weeks of Legislature sittings, it would seem that the people of Ontario may fail to grasp the importance of Premier Hepburn's present efforts. They are so vital to Ontario's welfare that it is difficult to understand the attitute of hilarity encountered upon the Conservative benches. DID YOU EVE-fi STOP TO TH If (!by Edson R. Waite) It takes time for a build a reputation that is strong enough to ensure a steady growth. The success of every business depends on its gaining its reputation by honest advertising and living up to its advertisements. An advertiser who gets results is the one who advertiess regularly and sufficiently. The reputation of a business concern comes from satisfied customers -- satisfied customers come as a result of honest goods and honest advertising. To-day the public does not seek a store; the store must seek the public and they must do it by advertising. Business concerns" that have enjoyed a prosperous business year after year have been constant advrtisers. TRENT CANAL EXPENSIVE According to a return in the House of Commons last week, the total revenues from the Trent Canal "in the five years from 1930 to 1934 inclusive, amounted' to $374,959, and in the past two years money paid out in salaries, wages and work under contract, totalled $£48,541. The total cost of the canal as at March 31, 1934, was $2'8,421,131. Salaries and wages for Trent Canal from the year 1880 to 1934, were $16,137,869.84. There were eleven thousand and sixty four pleasure crafts passed through the locks in the year 1934. This is. the largest number in any one year. Drowned land settled for, cost $889,842.78. HALF LOAD REGULATIONS "Half-load" regulations for trucks using Ontario highways went in effect March 1st, and will be effective until the end of April. As frost begins to leave the gTound and pavements are often heaved and cracked, the department calls upon Ell owners of large transports to reduce their loads by 50 per cent. Prosecutions await those who violate the regulation. HOW WOULD IT LOOK ? This is the time of year when many churches publish a full list of contributions, with the amounts given to various funds. Many reasons for this practice are given, but one is important--It pays. Perhaps Editors of weekly papers might find that it would pay them to publish their list of subscribers with amounts due.-- Smiths Falls Record-News. Home canneries for fruits and vegetables on the farm and in rural centres are a recent development of great importance and possibilities. It is estimated that in 1D34 there were about rU700 registered establishments operated in Quebec with a production of probably 230,000 cases. The movement is spreding in Ontario where 100,000 cases were produced in 1934. After a specimen of the Black Widow, the only known poisonous spider in North America, had been found in a tomato field at Summer-land, British Columbia, other specimens were forwarded to the provincial entomologist from many interior points in the province, including Nelson, Trail, Nakusp, and from En-derby south to the international boundary. Spider plant, a tall-growing annual, is very effective at the back of a flower border in the garden. The seeds should be sown indoors in April and planted out in June. It begins to bloom about the third week in July and continues until frost. Canada was easily first among the exporters of oats to the British Isles in 1934, with 1,941,279 cwts. This was considerably more than half the amount imported into Britain from, all sources. Butter Wrappers at Express Office We should never bear more'thaii the one present trouble or worry. Some people bear three kinds--all they have had. all they now have, and all they expect to have--most of which never come. An old man said, "I've had a long life and it has been full of worries and troubles--most of which never happened." It has been found, through experimentation, that feeding cod liver oil to hens in the right proportion greatly increases the fertility and hatcha-bility of eggs through increased virility in the brood. Inspected exports of dressed poultry from Canada for the period from Jan. 1 to March 1, 1985, totalled 24,584 boxes. The amount for the corresponding period of 1934 was 1,217 boxes. The first advertisement that appeared in print was the announcement of a reward for the recovery of .two stolen horses, in the London, England, Impartial Intelligencer, in March, 1648.
