This year The Call 01 Empire comes again and all are urged to practice production and thrift. Sir Thomas White. the min- ister of finance, utters a truism when he says, “Modern war is made by resources. by money, by foodstuffs, as well as by men and by munitions. While war is our first business, it is the imperative duty of every man in Canada .. to produce all that he can, to work doubly hard while our soldiers are in the trenches in order that the resullrces of the country may not nnlv be conserved, but increased for the great struggle that lies before. Work and save is a good motto for war time.” Some don’t understand what :1 volt means, and we shall endeavor to make it clear to them. The 101- lowing definition in given: We hope this is clear. I! not. don’t ask us anything about it: we haven’t time to explain. Volta and Daniel! and Davy and Ampere and Faraday and a lot 0! other fel- lows who made a hobby of elec- trim! study are. all dead. and there’s no use asking them about it. E. M F. means “Eat More Fish.” This will develop brain Yth'r. and the rest will be easy. \ssessm' Elvitlge is on his m :ruls once more and we haw n” d» . >t he is discharging his dutâ€" io'w‘ to» the best of his ability. in :m- u-dnnce with the law. The Mu- nie- :ml Acts have been revised nwl r'O'fl‘PViSed times WlthOut num- L. .~ .md it seems the time is again il'H‘ for another revision. The Act Sn Lll‘ as it relates to business as- sessment is a wonderml piece of lt'xislrltinn. and should never have found its way to a place in the Statutes. As it now stands. the business tax assessment is based on the value 0! the building occu- pied. irrespective of the quantitlh quality or value of the goods in' stock. The man occupying abuild- ing valued at five thousand dol- lars. for example, and carrying a hundred dollar stock. has the same business tax as the man with a twenty thousand dollar stock and occupying a building of the same value as his smaller com- petitor. This is not (air; it never Was fair, and never can be fair. The tendency is to force the business man to occupy poor premises in order to evade the higher taxation. There seems to be no equality about the system“ and the rich man gets the benefits. There’ s no encouragement [or the man with a small stock to own or occupy a respectable prem- ises. The system stands in the way 01 prom ' “Voltâ€"The practical unit of c-lectromotive force or the dif- ference 0! potential, equal to 10 raised to the 8th power absolute electro magnetic units; it is that E.M.F which will produce a current of one ampere against a resistance of one ohm; that E.M. F. which would char e a con- denser ol one lara capacity with one coulomb of electricity' an E.M.F approximately equal to that of a single Daniell cell.

In an endeavor to over- come this shortage, they are drawing heavily upon Canadian supplies, and one large Canadian manufacturer advises that this in- creased demand will result in an ’early shortage in Canada. This is especially true of waste paper. such as old newspapers, maga- zines, wrapping paper. etc. This stock is used in the manufacture grades of paper. building paper, tarred felt. patent roofings, millboard. and filling for eardboard. etc. There are at pres- Canada using reclaimed paper exclusively in their manufacturing. Canada is wasting fully 500,000 pounds of paper weekly without any reasonable excuse. It is estim- ated that a ton of wood-pulp re- quires eight trees, averaging nine linches at the butt. To replace this therefore, ap- waste of paper stock. necessitates the cutting of proximately 2,000 trees weekly, or over 100.000 annually in forests. Canada’s Peninsular and Oriental steamship Simla, sunk by the enemv in the Mediterranean, eleven of the Asiatic crew being lost. 1is saved and systematically col: lected, the results secured by the Daughters of the Empire at Otta- :wa may be cited. -In September last this -organization undertook to collect waste paper. -the pro- ‘ceeds from its sale to be used for 'patriotic purposes. Since this col- lection was instituted‘ -approxim- ately 15 tons haye been secured Some thought a few weeks ago that The Chronicle was going too far when it was announced that all local advertising would be charged for. All city papers are doing exact- ly the same thing, and in The Globe of Wednesday of last week an announcement to Women is made to the efefct that “notices: of any character relating to fu-i ture events for which an admission! fee is charged are inserted in the! advertising: columns at 150. per‘ line.” It further says “announce- ments for churches, societies»; clubs or other organizations oft future events for which there is, no admission fee made are in-1 sorted in this column at 2c. aword , with .‘l minimum of 500. for each! insertion.” ' The people here had been so accustomed to getting free ad- vertising that the change to a charging basis was a surprise to some, while others thought we Were right in doing so. The man who works for nothing, or next to nothing, only makes himself cheap and his services are generally bas- ed on his own valuation. It is just 'the same with a newspaper. If you give advertising for nothing. you can get plenty of it. but it is never appreciated as it should be. If advertising has a commercial value it should be paid for \ust the same as a pound of tea or any other commodity has to be paid for. The presentation and addresses are now so common that they are becoming burdensome, and the time will soon come when a short notice will have to take the place of a lengthy address. Even sol- diers’ letters that have no real point of interest should be boiled down to the point of crystalliza- tion. Sometimes a few words will give the salient points in a long letter. A: an illustration of what may be accompished when waste paper SAVE YOUR WASTE PAPER BOIL IT DOWN ' “The farmers in the districts 'that are being served greatly ap- preciate the improved condition .on their places by reason of hav- ing electric li ht in the house, gbarn, drive she and yard. With previous forms of lighting, the dull appearance of the place from the road ani from the yard had a depressing effect. The attractive .contrast that is the result of in- stalling electric light will probab- ly be beneficial in keeping the young pe0ple on the farm. The de- crease of fire risk on the premises due to the absence of coal oil lan- terns and lamps is another fea- ture that is usually considered bv the farmer in arriving at a con- clusion regarding the installation of electric service on his premises. monthly, composed almost en- tirely of old newspapers. which had been previously burned or otherwise destrOyed. This material is deposited by the public in box- es distributed throughout the city, and later collected and baled The satisfactory results indicate that there is room for a consid- erable enlargement of this project. It is work that might be under- taken by municipal charities for the purpose of securing funds, or bv other interests with a popular object in View. True, ~there are certain dealers carrying on this industry at present, but thcv have failed to secure the support of the public, which is necessarv to the plan of saving the paper from the homes and deiiyeri‘ng it to designated places. \Vhen every effort is being made to conserve our forests, to protect them from the ravages of fire and wasteful lumbering methâ€" ods, the public should give more attention to saving their -old papers and to similar economies which may reduce the drain upon our forests and other resources. ELECTRIC 1.1th ON THE FARM The Hydro-Electric Power Com-- mission of Ontario, in its seventh annual report, gives some inter- esting data on the advantages and cost of installation of electric lighting in farm homes and out- buildings. The report says: “Installations in barns are now being made in conduit, as this me- thod is found necessary for the protection of the Wires and fit- tings. The cost of installation var- ies according to conditions in the various districts. The open Wiring 4 9999000690909969099699.0966 000900009000090999699990 varies from $1.25 to $1.75 per out- let and the concealed Wiring from $1.50 to $2.25 per outlet Conduit installations in the open, that is, in barns and farm buildings. vary from $3.25 to $4.50 per outlet The outlet in each case is the opening for either fixture or switch; it does not include (except Where drop cord is used) the fixture. but does include the switches.” ONTARH) DRY SEPTEMBER l6 ‘Prohibition takes effect in On- tario after Saturday, the 16th day of September, and will remain in effect until the first Monday in June, 1919, when its continuance will depend upon the wishes m the electors, expressed through a referendum. This was the announcement of Hon. W. J Hanna in the Legisla- ture on Thursday night of last Week. The announcement that the Government had decided to allow license holders till the middle m” September to dispose of their stocks was regretted by ‘Mr. Rowell, the Opposition leader, but he made no effort to mar the good feeling in the matter by di- viding__the House. He also stated that the Govern- ment felt that if the province went back to the present order of things as a result of the referen- dum then those who have licenses now should have first call in the distribution of any licenses that :might be issued. The return to present conditions would not af- fect local option districts, which would a ain come under the by- laws an remain dry, as they are at present. Mr. Hanna, in referring to the taking of a 1efeiendum thought H unwise to do so till a consid- erable time aftel the wai, and in 1919 he hoped the boys would be back from the trenches and lime time to get on the lists and, moreover, by that time the Act would have a fair trial. Then it the people wished to repeal it, they could do so at the polls. W+++++++++++++++H++? }' :{Just Received, a new Stock? "' Clover Leaf Dishes at of “, "o 0“ 73 g A‘ V. U, 7.. ovv Io.
