money it brings in, may be considered success- ful by the world, but he usually ends up with a ruined constitution, indigestion, nerves, and the numerous other ailments modern commer- cialism creates.

We won’t work if we can scheme some way to get out of it. We will slave through the first few years of our lives to make a questionable living, then, if fortune smiles upon us through the death of a rich beneficiary, we spend the next few years dissipating our substance, only to re- turn, with wrecked physique, to the old labors we left off. A person who works solely for money is on the wrong track. Working for money alone sours us on the world. The man who has no interest in his work other than the Happiness 'is the greatest cure for liver trouble and its associate diseases, and if a man cannot be reasonably happy on this one-way journey through life he might as well never have been born. There is many a working man with his home, enough to eat, and hap- piness, who is more successful than the man with the millions and his stomach trouble. Money isn’t everything. Some people pride themselves on their wonderful memories. A good thing, perhaps, to be able to remember, so long as we do not remember too much. A retentive memory may remember many things that are not pleasant, and unpleasant things cause one to worry. Worry is a prime cause of high blood pressure and premature death. PAGE 4. The obvious thing seems to be to take life a little easier. You may not be known quite so well as a “go-getter” but you will have a better time and perhaps accomplish more in the end than if you spend your life running after the almighty dollar. Too many of us seem to for- get that we are placed on this earth to make a living, not to store up earthly wealth. We have too many men today who are old at 50. Instead of being able to enjoy themselves their spare time is spent taking pills, or other medicine, and wondering what will be the matter with them next. We notice that one of the transcanada high- he will be back at work again. Some of us na- turally cannot stand prosperity. A little money makes us lazy, and in a few years we are back again at the hard labor, our constitution ruined by high living, and go into our old age holding down some menial position too old for our years. 1m: DURHAM mommâ€" Wtcnmhslm W "Iv-m ant-win!“ copy; by mammaoommnommm mmunmnuwrxwm ”mamas-numbers... It is the proper thing to strive to do well. Ambition is to be commended and laziness con- demned. But don’t go to extremes. It will be remembered that there was some talk of the provincial grants being made on the basi:ll of the government allowing a grant, dollar for dollar, with the amount granted by municipalities in which the fall fairs were held. This would have spelled the doom of the fall fairs in a good many cases, and would have been a calamity. There is little question there have been many fairs collecting grants from the govern- ment which did not deserve it, but it is also a notable fact that the fairs in Ontario showing the greatest financial success are those which donotatallconformtothernlesandregula- tions demanded for receiving the grant.

GRANTS TO FALL FAIRS The superintendent of the Fall Fairs As- sociation, J.

BE HAPPY IN YOUR WORK We can see nothing wrong in the recent ac- tion of the States in Asia, other than it is in direct opposition to the oft-made statements of her politicians and government. The world today has become so interwoven inte;nationally that what affects one country affects the whole universe, and we cannot see where the United States can express herself as disinterested in anything that tends to upset the international equilibrium. Somehow or other her actions do not line up well with her expressed desires, and we would think she would be more consistent if, insisting that Europe keep out of the Americas, she con- fined her activities at home. If the United States is not to interest her- self in European affairs, how does she justify her interference in Manchuria? If she holds to the Monroe doctrine that the Americas are for the Americans, and appoints herself as the guardian of the western continents, should she not cease activities in other parts of the world? Or does the States intend to be the dictator for the universe ? Theodore Dreiser has aptly expressed the situation when he says : “If you get, you’ve got to give.” This affects not only nations, .but individuals. This depression business to us seems to be only a case of where business has lost confid- ence in itself. Let the government float a loan and the money is forthcoming immediately. Which causes us to wonder. If business is so poor, how do these subscribers expect to get their money out of the government? If busi- ness goes the way some people evidently think it is, the government will shortly follow suit. The people cannot exist without business, business cannot exist without the people. And as the Government is the pe0ple, we think it naturally follows that the Government is not any more solid than the maple and the business from whom it gets its money by taxes and loans. a more 7 rigorous progruime. the like, are the ones which should be placed on From what we can learn, the “business de- pression” in this country must be an individual matter. Nationally, or provincially, we do not feel it. Canada’s National Loan a few weeks go was oversubscribed. This week, when the Ontario Government placed a bond issue of $25,000,000 on the market, it was oversub- scribed by $39,000,000 in three hours. The three year bonds for five millions brought sub- scriptions of over eighteen and three-quarters; the fifteen year bonds for twenty millions brought $45,000,000. The subscriptions came from all over Ontario. The sun do move and the times do change. Years ago the winter was the dreaded season by the railroads. The snow heaped up the expense of clearing the right of way, and while it meant extra money for the employees, it cut down on the dividends. Agricultural fall fair's cannot be judged by their financial success altogether. There are a good many of these exhibitions throughout the country which go on from year to year, have their own troubles in financing, but at the same time are a real service to their communities. WORLD AFFAIRS The United States has placed itself- on record that it wishes to have nothing to do with European affairs, but Ernest Elmo Calkins has hit the nail on the head when he says that it is as absurd for a nation as big as the United States to attempt to keep out of world affairs as for an elephant to try to hide in the grass. This year the absence of snow is a hardship, as the trucks have been able to go almost any- where under full load. Years ago the winter was the expensive time for the householder, with the coal and wood bills, the extra clothing and the foodâ€"and per- haps decreased earning power. The Chealey Enterprise, advocating the ab- oliohment of County Councils, expresses dissat- isfaction because Tiverton, a village of less than 300 papulation, and paying only one- twentieth as much as Elderslie township to- Today the winter is the cheap seasonâ€"or at least it is an even break with summer. What we used to save in summer we now put into gasoline and tires, and also the additional money travelling makes us spend. Surely, the world do change! REPRESENTATION BY POPULATION SOME DEPRESSION!

Now King Levinsky, one time Chicago fish peddler, believes he shall soon be heavy- weight champ. This is an age of fast living, when the average youth of 20 to 25 has lived more real life than his father or grandfather in a period of 70 years. But we are paying for it. Despite the fact that the expectancy of life has been raised, the old saying that you cannot burn your candle at both ends holds good. “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined; no rest till morn when youth and pleasure meet” sounds well when taken in the spirit in which it was first written, but there is nothing surer than the youth who persists in burning the midnight gas, and continually rambles home with the milkman, will pay for each year so spent when he approaches the end of the road. You may “kid” the old folks, your friends, and the public. but Dame Nature cannot be fooled and insists on full payment for all liberties. A FAIR ADMISSION i Reeve T. J. Brodie of Glenelg was nominated ' for the Wardenship this year, but, like Coolidge, : “didn’t choose to run”. His reason was that he : did not consider himself as capable as some of i the other aspirants. He also voiced his Opinionl that the position of warden should not be de-I cided upon whether a municipality had not been awarded the honor far so many years, or whe- ther it was rural or urbanâ€"it should be de- cided solely on the qualifications of the men in the field and available for the position. Mr. Brodie says he thinks there were more capable men than he in the race for Warden- ship. Perhaps there were. We do not know. But we do know that it takes a very capable man to admit such a thing, and we predict the reeve of Gienelg will not lose by this statement. We can agree with Mr. Brodie -in some of his contentions, and most certainly think he is right so far as the ability of the man is con- cerned, but all the same the clever man must go out and get the Wardenship if he wants it just the same as the other fellow. The position is like everything elseâ€"-too much modesty may forever keep a man out of being county Warden, and our contention is that a man who serves his township for a number of years at considerable expense to himself, or who thinks enough of municipal politics to stay at it, should have the ambition to reach the highest office. “Being an Only Child Is Often a Handicap” says a news heading. So is being the sixth or eighth, or tenth. The 13-month calendar question is to be taken up by the League of Nations when it meets at Geneva, Switzeriand. With conditions as they are, one would think there were plenty more important things to deal with than cal- endars. “Wild” turkeys raised on a farm in Oregon, refuse to go wild when removed to the bush- lands, and return to the farm where they were raised. Which bears out the assertion of the naturalist: “It isn’t the animals that are wild. it is the people.” Wild animals respond quickly to kindness and are easily domesticated. A well known doctor writing in a p0pular magazine a short time ago has well said that fast living and too many night hours have more to do with ultimate arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, than anything else he can name. ,We are going too fast. Not with our work, but with our play. No man ever died from having to work ten or twelve hours a day. Now the most of us work eight. It is not the work that knocks us off our pins, but what we do in our playing hours. There are too many of us who work eight hours, play ten, and have only six left for sleep. This cannot last. You can’t work until five o’clock, get your supper, pursue pleasure until two or three in the morning and expect to get away with it. You may try; you may not feel the effects for yearsâ€"but don’t fool yourself. You’ve got to The I. O. D. E. speaker on the Arctic here on Tuesday night told the audience that the walrus lives on clams, which he eats, shells and all, and then comes out to the land, where he regurgitates the shells. We hope the women of the audience will not expect us to commence eating our morning boiled eggs a la walrus. HOW TO KEEP YOUNG Wish!!!
