MACDONALD‘S TOBACCOS CIGARETTES ESKIMOS TAKE RIDES IN AIRSHIP AT $10.00 A RIDE In the annual report of the Royal Canadian Moun‘«d Police there are some interesting sidelights. One of the sections of the report suggests that the arctic is getting too crowded. At one isolated post of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, somewhere in the neighborhood of Great Slave Lake, an airplane is arriving almost every other day. The whirl and bustle of this hectic rush is telling on the nerves of one of the constables of this detachâ€" ment, and that distressing fact is duly recorded in the annual report of the force, just issued. Airplane "barnstorming" is also poâ€" pular in the Arctic circle and last sumâ€" mer C. H. "Punch" Dickens chief pilot cof the Western Canadian Airâ€" ways, ran a show for the Eskimos at Aklavik. For an honorarium of $10 a head, he gave the aborigines joyrides lasting 10 minutes each. "The Eskimos," says the reports "were thrilled with their experiences and paid their $10 most cheerfully. Mr. Dickens could not take up all the passengers who wanted to go as he had to conserve his limited supply of gasoline for his return trip south."

WORK OF WOMEN NOW REDUCED BY LABOURâ€"SAVING DEVICES (From The New Yorker) In Mrs. Macdonald‘s view dishâ€"washâ€" ing is needless because attractive dishes can be manufactured at such low cost that they can be thrown out with the garbage.

Writing of 1928 and explaining that there were about 27,000,000 homes in America, Mr. Stuart Chase stated that these were equipped with: 15,300,000 electric flatirons. 6,828,000 vacuum cleaners. 5,000,000 washing machines. 4,900,00 electric fans. 4,540,000 electric toasters. 2,600,000 electric heaters. 755,000 electric refrigerators. 348,000 ironing machines.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Timmins Highâ€"Grade Samples From Week‘s Run of the Press Toronto Globeâ€"A suburban fire on Saturday raised again a nice question of conductâ€"perhaps the word ethics might be used in this case. But here it is: Should a barber who belongs to the fire brigade answer an alarm at once or should he finish the job he has started on a customer‘s face? Torn for a moment between conflicting duties, this particular barber then rushed to the fire, and his customer, because of the condition in which he had been leftâ€"desertedâ€"couldn‘t go anywhere, not even to see the conflagâ€" ration . Wise men have wrangled, and new schools of thought have develâ€" oped, over lesser issues than this. The owner of the burning house will be behind the barber in his action, but the halfâ€"shaven man, left helpless in the chair, ~will not be without friends. Here is a real subject for both young and old debaters. Border Cities Star: If Methuselah had invested $1 at 6 per cent. compound interest it is estimated that he would have had $77,157,900,000,000,000,000,000 when he died. The fact that he didn‘t do so, however, proves that finding a dollar to invest in those days was just about as hard as it is now. URGES GOâ€"OPERATION OF ALL FOR HELP OF SETTLERS To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins Brower Township Settler Deals With Present Untoward Conditions for the Settlers in This North Land. Dear Sirâ€"The settler in the northern part of Ontaric, during the past six or seven years, has been confronted with several obstacles in the process of land clearing, and I think it is high time something was introduced whereby it will facilitate the settler in this respect. Owing to the wet summers, and severe fire restrictions in the past few years, it has been utterly impossible for land to be cleared to any extent, and naturally the country is falling back instead of progressing, and beâ€" coming agricultural. The greatest part of the settlers‘ lots, has now been cut for pulp wood, and he cannot make a living from his place, owing to not having sufficient clearance to produce enough crops to keep him. In clearing his land I think a little assistance from the Government in the way of a preâ€" mium for each acre cleared, and an amendment to the present fire laws regarding burning, should be granted, and I am confident, more homesteads would be taken us, and as a farming proposition the country would progress. Most of the settlers in this country are compelled to leave their homesteads and go away to find work to enable them to exist, and by doing this they are unable to fulfill their homeâ€" stead duties. In many cases you will observe farms which have been abanâ€" doned owing solely to the one reason, that the man is unable to make proviâ€" sion for the necessities of life from his lot. In some instances a man had lived for 8 to 15 years on his place, struggling to try and make a farm, but he his so discouraged by the conditions he is compelled to contend with that he goes away with the hope of finding some other better location in another counâ€" try, and if this is not remedied shortly the hope of making this a farming country will be lost. It is not through lack of determination and grit, that these places have been abandoned, but merely because of the great expense incurred in clearing same under the present conditions. The type of settâ€" ler in this North Country of ours, is one of the best, and should no doubt be prosperous if some assistance could be given; however if this is allowed to go on indefinitely, there is nothing else that I can see, only disaster facing the people of the country. This matter was discussed at a meetâ€" ing of the farmers in Cochrane recently, and it was decided that the Governâ€" ment be approached. If this is going to materialize to benefit the settlers, it needs the support of the people who are at present living in this country under the present conditions, and I do not think the time is very farâ€"away before this will be placed before the Governâ€" ment in the form of a petition, which I understand has been started by The Brower Farmers‘ Association, who are striving for their rights, and a fair conâ€" sideration in this respect. We are all ; aware that this country, is very rich in mineral, waterâ€"power and timber, from which the Government derive a large amount of revenue each year, and surely a small amount of same could be allotted to aid the settlers in developâ€" ing the agricultural resources, and making this a farming country and place it in a position to export more produce, and not always be importing which is the case at present.

HAILEYBURY COUNCILLOR APPEALS TO DELINQUENTS Haileybury citizens read last week in their local paper and elsewhere an appeal issued over the signature of the chairman of the Haileybury council‘s finance committee, A. J. Carson. The appeal is addressed to the delingquent taxpayers of the municipality and asks those citizens in arrears with their municipal dues to come to the rescue of the town and "put forth a deterâ€" mined effort to raise the amount of your financial obligations, or this town will not be able to function." The statement hints that developâ€" ments may be necessary that are "abâ€" solutely repugnant," and the hope is expressed that action of the nature implied will not be required, but it is pointed out that the municipality‘s credit at the bank had to be extended $15,000 "to meet exceedingly pressing demands." School requisitions also have had to be met, and the Haileybury councillor‘s appeal states that the difâ€" ferent moneys required must be proâ€" vided for in February from the unpaid taxes still on the books. As a special and final *inducement to delinquents to come across before the end of the month, it is stated that the five per cent. penalty due on arâ€" rears will be "forgotten" by the muniâ€" cipality if the taxes are paid in full beâ€" fore the first day of March. The statement informs the ratepayers they are paying six per cent. interest on a large bank loan because of delinquents and the citizens are told that, while it is recognized they have financial diffâ€" culties of their own, so has the muniâ€" cipality, and something will have to be done to collect the outstanding money. REPORT SAYS TELEPHONE GOMFANY STILL GROWING Twentyâ€"fifth Annual Meeting of the Northern Telephone Co. was Held at New Liskeard Last Week. Increase in Net Earning:. The Northern Telephone Company,. the corporation franchised to give teleâ€" phone service to the town of Timmins and other towns in the North, last week held its annual meeting at New Liskeard. While the peopie in genera: in the North are most interested in getting good telephone service than in the financial affairs of the telephone company, everybody will be pleased that the company is not losing money. It would be too bad if somebody did not make something out of the teleâ€" phone service as it is Some particuâ€" lars of the annual meeting are given in The New Liskeard Speaker last week. The Speaker says:â€" "The twentyâ€"fifth annual meeting of the Northern Telephone Company, Limited, was held in the Public Library, New Liskeard, on February 24th. Out of a total of 350,000 shares issued, 1923, 702 shares were represented by person or proxy at the meeting. "The reports for the year, while not showing as large an increase in teleâ€" phones as the previous year showed that the Company was still growing The net increase in telephones for the year was seventyâ€"five. The gross inâ€" come was $175,744.17, which is an inâ€" crease over 1928 o $8,541.68. The net income, after allowing for depreciation and bad debts, was $22,344.33, being an increase of $4,732.176 over 1928. Sixty per cent. of all telephones are in subâ€" scribers‘ homes. The total mileage of single wire, including wire in cable is now 7,979 miles, and the total mileage of poles 502 miles. During the year the subscribers of the Northern Teleâ€" phone Company sent 160,518 calls over the company‘s long distance lines, and 78,114 calls over the lines of connectâ€" ing companies. With the exception of the Municipal Telephone System at Fort William, this company is the largest independent telephone comâ€" pany in Ontario. While during the year, the net increase of telephones was only seventyâ€"five, substantial gains were made in Kapuskasing, Noranda, Rouyn and Kirkland Lake, but these were partly offset by losses of teleâ€" phones at Cobalt and South Porcupine. It was reported that the company is considering the advisability of opening up new exchanges in other towns as the need arises, and that possibly one _or more new exchanges will be opened in 1930. During the year an arrangeâ€" ment was made with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, covering sickâ€" ness, accident and life insurance for employees, and it was noted that to date, insurance paid to employees has been considerably more than the amount of the premiums. While the insurance is optional, ninety per cent. of the employees have taken out poliâ€" cies. The company paid the regular dividend of six per cent. during the year and transferred $1,508.480 to the credit of loss and gain account." Huntingdon Gleanerâ€" "Who is the King and what is his title?" the Judge at Kindersley, Saskatchewan, fired at an application for naturalization papâ€" ers after the wouldâ€"be Canadian had said he had lived in this country for 20 years and didn‘t sell whiskey. Macâ€" kenzie," was the reply after a few minâ€" utes‘ deliberation. The naturalization papers will be held back for two years. Toronto Mail and Empireâ€"~â€"The leâ€" gend of the "Angel of Mons" seems to have arisen from a trick by the German secret service they played on cloudâ€" banks with huge projectors showing films of angelic hosts. Some of the troops were stampeded, but the British chucked and went over with a bang to rout the enemy. The same fac: thus works differently in different minds.
