PHONE 32 WOLVES KILL TEN DEER IN RADIUSs OF ABOUT MILE All this winter there have been comâ€" platnts in regard to the damage done to game in this North Land through the evil work of wolves. Last year the complaints were heard, and hunters and others seem to be agreed that the wolves are exterminating the deer in this country,. . Sections where deer were plentiful at one time now have none of the beauties. As Jack Miner, the notâ€" ed Canadian nature lover, has repeatâ€" edly said:â€""The choice has to be made between the deer and the wolves. The country can not have both." Last winter there was so much agitation in the matter that the Government took up the question and arrangements were made to effect a reductidn in the numâ€" ber of wolves. It was expected that through coâ€"operation with Quebec proâ€" vince and other provinces a forward step might be taken in regard to eliâ€" minating the wolves instead of allowâ€" ing them to eliminate the deer. Nothing concrete, however, has been accomplished so far as The, Advance is aware. It would appear that the whole agitation will have to be resumed again this year to induce some effecâ€" tive action to reduce the wolf menâ€" ace. All in this country appear to be unanimous in the desire to retain the deer. ~The common idea would seem to be that the best way of eliminating the wolves is by offering increased bounty for the killing of the pests. The extent of the depredations of the wolves is indicated by the following paragraph from The Pembroke Standâ€" ardâ€"Observer last week:â€" "Some indications of the havoc wrought among deer by wolves in this country is given by the report of a trapper from Brougham township that within a radius of a mile and a half he had seen the carcasses of ten deer which had bseen destroyed by wolves. The deer were killed in open country and only a few miles from a village, The country along the Madawaska river above Calabogie abounds in game, but wolves destroy yearly far more deer than are taken out by hunters, and unâ€" less something is done to check their depredations there will be little or no game left in the country before many years." Vancouver, B.C., Provinceâ€"It was thoughtful and gracious act on the part of Premier Tolmie and his government to invite a group of pioneer women to be present in positions of honor at the opening of the Legislature on Tuesday. To these women and others who came before them and worked with them British Columbia owes debt it will find it difficult to discharge. NOVA SGOTIA PRODUGER OF FIRST SPRUCE PAPER HERE Canada‘s First Paper Produced from Spruce Pulp was the Invention of Nova Scotian in 1844. First Paper Mill in Halifax in 1819. "A country composed of business men and a general public of a calibre measâ€" ured by these things seems destined to develop along enlightened lines in the least possible time, and our forests have a strong ally in such aa human element. T‘ would, therefore, seem that the people who are using up our paper to predict the ultimate ruin of our forests and to bemoan its inevitability, would spend their time far more profitably in suggesting construcdtive methods of forestry for this country where leaders Ralph P. Bell, of Halifax, N.S., who is viceâ€"president and managing direcâ€" tor of the Canadian Pulpwood Associaâ€" tion, in a recent article in the Halifax Herald, points out the importance of the pulp and paper industry is likely to play in the future of Nova Scotia. He ventures to say that to a certain extent it will replace the lumber busiâ€" ness, which is slowly disappearing. Continuing, Mr. Bell says: ‘"The year 1929 has been for Nova Scotia a period of fulfilment and evident accomplishâ€" ment with the outstanding result the completion of the Mersey Paper Co.‘s mill at Liverpool. "It is particularly fitting that Nova Sceotia should, at last, have paper mill for at an early date the province was signficantly associated with the develâ€" opment of paperâ€"making. Not only was there a mill in Halifax County as early as 1819 when A. H. Holland, proâ€" prietor of the Acadian Recorder, Haliâ€" fax made newsprint for this paper on the stream near the opening of Hamâ€" mond Plains road, at the head of Bedâ€" ford Basin; but in 1844, the same year that Frederick Gottlob Keller patented his woodâ€"pulp grinding machine in Germany, a Nova Scotian successfully produced a sheet of paper from spruce wood, the outcome of the experiments he had carried on from 1839. This is the first time we hear of paper being produced from spruce on the North American continent. "Today there is a tablet erected at Upper Sackville, the scene of the exâ€" periment, to Charles Fenerty, the young Nova Scotian farmerâ€"scientist who made it. The experiment itself is recorded in a letter sent by Fenerty, with a sample of the paper produced, to English and Blackadar, proprietors of the Acadian Recorder. The letter expresses the feasibility of commerâ€" cially producing paper from wood. "It is interesting to note that the species Fenerty suggests as the most suitable are spruce, fir and poplarâ€" the three chief paperâ€"making woods of today. "This early experimenting in paperâ€" making with no subsequent paper mill has been, unfortunately, indicative of many industries in Nova Scotia, and it is generally hoped tnal tne activity of the last year marks the beginning of a new era of substantial and conâ€" tinuous developrment. "The pulpwood industry, however, should not be regarded as â€"something forced upon us because of . our lost trade in lumber, for to all who look into the question, with an unbiased mind, it will be apparent that an operation for pulpwood is decidedly nearer the ideal than an operation for lumber. From the standpoint of a conservation deâ€" signed to place the forests of the proâ€" vince on a sustained yield basis a pulpâ€" wood operation is preferable not on:y because a greater percentage of the tree can be turned into merchantable proâ€" duct than is the case with lumberâ€" which incidentally means a less waste and slash left in the woods to become a fire hazardâ€"but also because a stand designed for use as pulpwood has a quicker crop rotation, hence more imâ€" mediate returns to the operator, an important incentive to the practice of forestry. the forests from fire immediately the facts were put before them, and the amicable manner in which the newsâ€" print manufacturers arrived at an agreement last year when the industry was facing a crisis. "Canadians as a people have shown themselves to be unusually reasonable and public spirited in matters concernâ€" ing the national welfare. There are two things in particular which will alâ€" ways reflect great credit upon them, namely, the way in which the general public responde to the appeal to protect "The greatest constant menace to our forest industries is fire, which has alâ€" ways presented a special problem to this continent, where forests are on such heroic scale. Nova Scotia, howâ€" ever, on account of the humidity conâ€" tinually present in the atmosphere, has been more fortunate than most of the other provinces. The high fire hazard of the summer, therefore, came as something of a surprise. "The actual monetary yield to the individual is approximately the same from a quantity of lumber and pulpâ€" wood produced from the same stand of trees. To the country in the form of freight return, the yield from pulpwood is twice as great. "The announcement of the Federal Government during, the year to the effect that an inventory of the Dominâ€" ion‘s Forest Resources would be taken is highly significant. Such an investiâ€" gation is a sound foundation for the inâ€" auguration of scientific forestry and a necessity for the formulating of any valuable system. "This is one of the most progressive steps Canada has taken in regard to her forests and is evidence of a new and enlightened outlook in the Dominâ€" ion as a whole, an outlook calculated to safeguard the future. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "‘This new Sargon is as different from other medicines as day is from night, it has such wonderful strengthâ€" ening effect on the system. SAYS SARGON PROVED A REAL BLESSING T0 HER "I‘d had a spell of fiu that left me so weak and rundown I could hardly do my housework.

"I used to be troubled continually with constipation, but Sargon Soft Mass Pills, that go with the tonic, regulated me perfectly and I haven‘t had a headâ€" ache or bilious attack since.

SETTLERS NEED ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE AT ONCE In the Cochrane district and along the Transcontinental Railway recently there has been very general discussion of the situation â€"of the settlers, and this is of special interest to the Porcuâ€" pine area because what applies to the settlers north of here applies also in more or less measure to those in this immediate vicinity. In a recent issue of The Northland Post, of Cochrane, the following editorial reference was made to this question that is agitating the minds of so many at the present time:â€" is that those most vitally concerned appear to be determined to do someâ€" thing about it, which is a good sign. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of all the discussion was the lack of personal animosity and hard feelings toward anyone. All were agreed that the cause of present unsatisfactory conditions was a lack of understanding and knowledge of the needs and conâ€" ditions of the North, and after one has listened to the accounts of hardships and privations aggravated by onerous and in some cases, useless and even harmful, restrictions, one cannot but help wonder at the patience of the setâ€" tler, who is, in his own way, the most valuable and heroic figure in our gloriâ€" ous history. ‘Surely the time has come when a more humane and businesslike method of looking to the needs of the North can be inaugurated. The time has come when the press, particularly the préss of the North, can no longer hesitate to tell the people of the proâ€" vince of the conditions existing in the North. Each rightfully dissatisfied settler is a much worse advertisement for our wonderful country than would be a complete and thorough review of conditions as they are. The absolute folly of attempting to administer the affairs of Northern Ontario from Qusen‘s Park under the direction Of underlings who know nothing whatâ€" ever of conditions, causes or results, is quite evident. Let us hope that the confidence expressed by many at the meeting is justified, and that an imâ€" provement in condition will result when the Government realizes the needs and the problems confronting us here," "There are two conclusions that one can come to after listening in on the various talks and discussions which took place in the course of the annual Farmers‘ Day held in Cochrane. The first is that "All is not sweet; all is not sound," or as the common phrase is, "There is something rotten in Denâ€" mark." Only in this case, it is in Norâ€" Ontario. The second conclusion Despatches from Toronto this week say that power to order the construcâ€" tion of gasâ€"tight stations below the suriace, in Ontario mines, is given to the chief inspector of the Department of Mines in a bill, which has been inâ€" troduced in the Ontario Legislature. INTRODUGE NEW MINE BILL INTO THE LEGISLATURE Will Provide Many New Regulations to Assure the Safety of Men Employâ€" ed in the Mines in Ontario. Rescue stations, above the surface, where experts will train the miners in modern rescue methods, in case of unâ€" derground fire, and special precautions, to be taken in the handling of exploâ€" sives, are other features of the bill. The legislation is a direct result of the Hollinger Mine disaster in 1928. Following a report made by Judge Godson, amendments to the Mining Act were brought down last session, but the bill was withdrawn. Last sumâ€" mer, another bill was prepared and discussed with mining men. It now has been introduced in the House. The object of the bill is to lessen the danâ€" ger to miners employed underground in Ontario‘s mines. One of its sections gives to the minâ€" ing inspector the power to order tunâ€" nels to be dug between adjoining shafts in mines. If fire developed in one mine, the men could come to the surâ€" face by means of the tunnel and the adjoining shaft. Officials of the department of mines said today, one groundâ€"level rescue station had been built at Timmins, and plans for one at Sudbury are well unâ€" der way. The Workmen‘s Compensation Board shall provide the funds for the estabâ€" lishment, equipment and maintenance of eacp rescue station, at the expense of the mining industry, the bill reads. Hamilton Spectatorâ€" If you must drive a car while intoxicated, there is an important formality which should be observedâ€"get your father appointed to the Senate. Another section orders that no inâ€" ternal combustion engine shall be opâ€" erated underground in any mine. No explosives shall be used, unless the package has printed on it the name and place of the manufacturer, the strength and the date of its manufacâ€" ture. All explosives shall be stored in speâ€" cial buildings and only instruments of wood, brass copper shall be used in opening a case. The companies who will open bosths are: Mines Safety Appliance Company of Pittsburgh; Linkâ€"Belt Company of Toronto; James Morrison Brass Mrg. Company of Toronto; Oliver United Filter Company of New York; Deister Concentrator Company of Fort Wayne; D. B. McWilliams, Victaulic Company of Canada; Canadian Industries Ltd.; Deloro Smelting ‘and Refining Comâ€" pany; Radiore Company of Canada; O. C. Reilly, chemical agent, Montreal; Crane Limited; Imperial Oil Limited Hamilton Gear and Machine Company; Canadian Pneumatic Tool Company; Aluminum Limited; Canadian Westingâ€" house Company, Canadian General Electric. The governments of Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario with the Dominion Governâ€" ment, will also have displays. The storage building, for the exploâ€" sives, shall not be nearer than 200 feet of any shaft. The bill provides that a mine foreâ€" man must be able to give rescue orders "in the English language." The mine owner must provide life lines for all workmen, and they shall be worn constantly when working in dangerous places. GOT SIX MONTHS FOR THEFT OF COAT FROM HIGH SCHOOL Some time ago there were a number of thefts reported from the high school here, but recently there has been litâ€" tle of this evil practice coming to atâ€" tention. On the last occasion on which attention was centred an aviator‘s cap was stolen from one the pupils, but after the principal of the school had shown the assembled pupils the seriâ€" ousness of the offence and had ‘urged the guilty party to return the stolen article, the cap was found in a place where it had not been before when diligent search was made for it. Since that incident no more thefts have ocâ€" curred so it may ‘be taken for granted that those who were inclined to theft have realized the error of their ways. This is well. The end of such stealing is always most unpleasant for the culâ€" prits. Ilustration of this fact is given by a case last week at North Bay. Found guilty of stealing an overcoat and gloves, the property of M. Vreâ€" borch, of North Bay, two young fellows, Stanley Mentenurio, aged 25, and Joseph Doucette, 19 years, were senâ€" tenced to six months at Burwash. Doucette‘s term was later reduced to three months. The theft took place at the collegiate institute where Mr. Vreâ€" borch was attending one of the classes at the night school. It was brought cut in the evidence that Doucette stole the overcoat for Montenurio in return for a revolver. Another youth said to be implicated in the theft left the city and could not be located by the police when the theft was investigated. Twentyâ€"four booths of exhibits will be arranged by mining and metallurgiâ€" cal men of Canada during the convenâ€" tion at the Royal York hotel, Toronto, under the auspices of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy on March 5, 6 and 7. Prominent Canadian manuâ€" facturers whose products are used in mining will be represented in the group. EXHIBITS ARRANGED FOR THE MINING CONVENTION Newspapers the Vital Factor in Retail Sales (By T. R. Russel, President The Willysâ€"Overland Limited) The growth of the automobile indusâ€" try to its present dominant position has been one of the remarkable indusâ€" trial and business developments of the past decade. Part of this is due to the fact that the automotile has met an urgent need in modern day life. It is essential to business and highly deâ€" sirable to the pursuit of pleasure. Volume production has made it possible to improve the quality and reduce the price at the same time, adding to the desirability of owning an automobile. All these factors have contributed to the progress of the industry. North Bay Nuggetâ€"Kenora has disâ€" covered the meanest thief, He stole money from a hospital patient. Well, anyway, he used good judgement. The patient couldn‘t give chase, However, I am inclined to believe that a large share of the credit for the success of the industry must go to the newsnapers. They have sold the autoâ€" mobile to the public. In all, this lady estimates that she has done work worth about $115,000, and never collected a cent Of it. BRut, writes a critical correspondent, surely she ate some of the food she prepared â€"and got new @othes sometimes, and had an occasional outing? There is also sleeping accommodation. Countâ€" ing these in, she probably got at least the equivalent of the odd $15,000. And perhaps her estimate of the value of her services is a bit high. Suppose she had been working for wages, would she have received very much more than $15,000 during the thirty years? Millions of persons in all walks 0o: life are amutomobile owners today. People don‘t just come in and buy automobiles. They must be sold to them. Of course, there are retail outâ€" lets where cars are displayed and sold, but, cnce again, people don‘t just "walk into these retail stores to buy an autoâ€" mobile as they go to a grocery to buy a loaf of bread or a pound of butter. In many cases they arrive already sold and requiring only that preâ€"convictions be confirmed before they buy. The newspapers have brought these buyers to the retail outlets. They have sold them before they entered the dealâ€" er‘s place of business. I am firmly convinced that the newspaper today is an extremely vital factor in retail sellâ€" ing and I know beyond any doubt tha‘t the tremendous retail distribution of the automobile would never have been accomplished without newspaper adâ€" vertising. How much is a wife worth? An Amâ€" erican woman, who has been married for thirty years has just been reckonâ€" ing it up. She claims that during this period she has served 235,425 meals, baked 33,180 loaves, 5.930 cakes, and 7,960 fruit pies; preserved 1,550 quarts of fruit, and spent 36,461 hours in sweeping, dusting, washing and similar tasks. Apparently she lives in the country, for she has also raised 7,660 chickens and churned 5,540 pounds of butter. Take the case of our organization. Willysâ€"Overland has an enviable dealâ€" er organization. It backs up this orâ€" ganization in numerous ways; too numerous, in fact, to detail here. But the backing desired by the majority of these dealers is newspaper advertising. These dealers are scattered far and wide, from Atlantic to Pacific and from Canada to Mexico, and everywhere their experience is the same. They appreciate the manner in which adâ€" vertising has supplemented their own sales efforts and they know that through the aid furnished them by this form of advertising, they have been able to build up a large volume of business in their localities. The automobile industry as a whole owes a large part of its success to the fact that it has been a large and conâ€" sistent user of newspaper advertising.

Here is the item, and husbands and wives may argue the matter out themâ€" selves:â€" THE ANSWER TO THIS MAY BE "AND sS0O‘s YOUR OLD MAN!" How much is a wife worth?
