And what a noisy place I to put a nervous child. The little girl recovered full health ‘and strength and grew bonny and bright. It was not the food nor the clothing nor the medical care nor the nursing. Tt was the attention, the intsrest, the love that the matâ€" ron and others gave. Youngsters grow gay and healthy and ‘happy under a little affection, and particularly if they have been starved for thought and care. The thought that someâ€" ibody cares, that somebody is interested, not only builds ‘ and upholds healthy bodies and healthy minds in the youngâ€" sters but it also makes for the growth of good citizenship. ‘The youngsters are strengthened and supported by the fact ‘that they know they have friends and a home. And it is isurprising how many there are who care; how many are helping the growth of good citizenship by interest in the ichildren who would otherwise feel friepdless and lone. Every 'week there are many visiting the Shelter, leaving many gifts but the greatest gift of all they give is their interest and thought. The hope of the Children‘s Aid is to secure good foster homes for all the children in the care of the Society, l!mt in the meantime the youngsters have a real home of ,t.helr own, and the kindness and thought of so many people help to make it so ' who care. It was a true picture of too many homes for children. It was not a true picture of such homes as those maintained by the Oddfellows, the Moose and other fraternal associations. These friendly societies recognize the value of interest and affection in building good citizenship. Neither was it a fair showing of a Children‘s Aid Shelter. The Children‘s Aid Society is largely founded on the idea that the child needs a true home, with all that the term applies in interest and affection. A little girl was brought to the District of Cochâ€" rance Children‘s Aid Society Shelter one time. The youngâ€" ster was sent with the sad thought that she would not live through the winter. A nervous trouble threatened to end a beautiful one, and the food and clothing were sufficient. There was a sort of military discipline necessary but no deliberate harshness or neglect. Yet the children seemed cheatéd out of the rights of childhood. The heroine was sad and lonely, even when a kindly trustee gave her the one great ambition of her life, a college course. Indeed, her sucâ€" cess at college was no more than a heartbreak to her. She had no relatives, no friends, no loved ones with whom to share her triumph, and all seemed futile and but ashes in the mouth. All the youngsters, and the heroine in partiâ€" cular would have been much better off with much less than they had in some ways, had they been given a little of what they cravedâ€"what all youngsters craveâ€"a little special noâ€" tice, a little affection, a knowledge that they have friends who care. The play, "Daddy Long Legs," presented at the Goldfields theatre last week was one worthy of special mention for the attractive story it told and the excellence of the acting, not to speak of the charming personality of the leading actress, Janet Gaynor. It is also worthy of note for a lesson it conâ€" veyed, if progress and happiness are desirable in this world. The story of the play touched on the life of a girl who was without relatives or friends and whose sad fate it was to be held in an orphan asylum. There was no suggestion of cruelty in the home for the youngsters. The home itself was The hoarding of gold in the United States and France, especially in the former, no doubt has had effect on the situation. It is an odd fact that the United States that had apparently enriched itself at the expense of the other naâ€" tions of the world should toâ€"day itself be on the verge of panic because of the poverty of so many of its own people. It seems to be a sample of the abuse of the capitalistic sysâ€" tem and the folly of that abuse. What applies to nations applies to individuals in the nations who become so rich that they are poor. Probably economists should not be too harshly condemned. It would seem that in the complicated condition of the world toâ€"day that simply to study the situation would be to contract such a headache that further thought would be difficult. The slogan, "Buy Empire Goods" emphasized at the recent[ conventions of the British Empire Service League suggestsi one big help to Canadian and other British people at this! time. The Empire is rich in resources and can be practic-i ally selfâ€"supporting. There has been perhaps, too broad an outlook, and too much thought for the world in general. If Canada can make herself prosperous, if the Empire can bring back prosperity within its farâ€"flung borders, there will | be more accomplished for the world than any other way. and uncontrolled inflation; it is quite another thing to take this measure, not because of internal financial difficulties, but because of excessive withdrawals of borrowed capital. The ultimate resources of this country are enormous and there is no doubt that the present exchange difficulties will prove only temporary." There is little doubt but that the evil situations that overâ€" take the world periodically are due in large measure to the greed and stupidity of those in high finance. In this counâ€" try of Canada, for example, there is enough/for all to live well and prosper. As The Ottawa Journal points out food is being burned or otherwise destroyed, and yet people are starving, and the world full of economists. The Journal refers to specific instances of destruction of food in different countries where there is actual want. Reference might also be made to Russia where goods are produced under condiâ€" tions of virtual slavery and then sold at less than even their actual unfair cost, thus adding to the difficulties of other nations in considerable measure. From an economic standard that is as wicked as destruction of goods. In fact it is destruction of lives without purpose. "What will be the effect on this country of . the present situation in Great Britain?" is a question frequently heard toâ€"day. Without paying tco much attention to the econoâ€" mists and financiers, whose opinions are more or less disâ€" counted at present, because of their apparent futility in cases of crises, the general opinion seems to be that the situation in Britain will have little or no effect on Canada‘s finances. Canada‘s financial standing is good and behind it all this country has a wealth of resources. This particular part otf Canada might be seriously affected by a general adoption of the plan of suspending the gold standard, but this situation is not likely to occur. The dropping of the gold standard in Britain is a temporary measure only. The United States, France and other naâ€" tions are not likely to follow the plan of dropping the gold standard. Pretmier R. B. Bennett this week announced that the Dominion of Canada proposed to maintain the gold standard. "What Great Britain may do is for the Governâ€" ment of Great Britain to determine," Mr. Bennett is quoted as saying. "As for Canada we propose to maintain the gold as saying standard. There is this hopeful sign that Great Britain not only uddles through," but usually manages to take such steps to avoid the same crisis twice. There were scores of illuâ€" tions of this during the war. O MAINTAIN GOLD STANDARD "It is alleged that the minister in question was compelled to swim across the river on four separate occasions prior to a recent Sunday, because of the absence of cther means of transportaâ€" 'tion. Each time, he divested himself | of his clothes, bundled them in his raincoat, secured the package somehow to his back, kept the string between his teeth and made the trip to keep his apptointment. One Sunday the minister thought himself fortunate, as an old canoe was available, but withâ€" | out a paddle.

During the past week considerable attention has been given to Geo. Young, Margaret Ravoir and other more or less noted swimmers who have been up from Toronto to visit this North Land. Without finding any fault with the notice given the visiting swimmers it may not be out of place to say that the North Land has at least one swimmer nearer home that is deserving of apâ€" plause and acclaim for brave work in the water, not for any money there may be in it, but simply because it plause and the water, n may be in i prove so great handicap to them. The incident of the preacher who swims the Abitibi to enable him @D> hold church services on Sunday is quoted as another argument along this line. The story is told in the following desprtch sent out last week from Cochrane:â€" "Settlers in the townships of Blount and Leitch, northwest of Cochrane, are trying to persuade the Provincial Govâ€" ernment to provide them with a ferry across the Abitibi river, and they are quoting the experiences of the United Church minister who serves the section in support of their arguments. They claim the preacher has been compelled t> swim the broad stream at times in order to reach designated psints at which he conducts services, but so far they have not been able to get any assurance from Queen‘s Park that their apjeals will be answered in the manâ€" ner they desire. seemed in the line of dut; mer of the North is a makes use of his talent i1 transport him safely acr river so that he may ho vices on Sunday during On more than on» occas| been suggestions in Th the settlers might be ac some way so that the r prove so great han The incident of the prea POULTON NOLES‘ Meat Pastes ...

At that particular point, one settler said, the current is very strong and the river more than 200 yards wide, reâ€" quiring a strong swimmer to make the trip in safety. This man also is auâ€" thority for the statement that th¢é minâ€" ister never has complained, evidently regarding these things as all in the day‘s work, but the layman wondered what church headquarters in Toronto would think if they knew. "It is claimed the government sent @a man to count how many people crossed the river in the private rowâ€" boat and canoe available in one week, and reported that the number did not justify a ferry service. The private craft are kept under lock and key, it is stated, and the settlers maintain it is a question of how many people would cross if it were possible to do so. Members of the congregation served (they are small in number) are said to consider it a shame a man should have to risk his life to preach the Gosâ€" pel in this country and age, and would rather go without services than have the minister take what are believed to be unnecessary chances."

MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR ABITIBT POWER LNE (From the Sault Star) The contract for the erection of the pewer line connecting up the powerâ€" house at Abitibi Canyon with Hunta on the Canadian National Railway and on to Smooth Rock Falls and Iroquois Falls has been awarded to Lang Ross of Sault Ste. Marie. This morning K. G. Ross of that firm was unable to state what the contract would involve from a monetary standpoint, but it is estimated that construction and materâ€" ial costs will run well over $1,000,000. It is calculated the job will take over 10 months to complete. The line will have steel towers carryâ€" ing the high voltage lines from the powerhouse at Abitibi Canyon on to Hunta, where it will connect up with the Hydro Electric system going on to Sudbury. At Hunta, the line will branch, one arm going to Smooth Rock Falls and the cther to Iroquois Falls. At boeth places paper mills are in operâ€" ation. At Abitibi Canyon, the construction of a pi>werhouse is being carried out by the H. F.

The Advance of Sept. 21st, 1921, says:â€"*"An Indian named Bernard was responsible for another "rush" in the prospecting line recently. He sent half a hundred prospectors this time scurrying into the Duncan Lake district in what may be termed the Matachewan area. _ Some days ago Bernard came into Elk Lake bringing with him samples of quartz, which contained gold in regular specâ€" tacular values. He showed his usual reticence and mystery but it was found that he had staked half a dozen claims. After he had gone back to his find, little diplomacy discovered that six claims had just been recorded in the Duncan Lake district. Prospectors did not take long to put two and two toâ€" gether, and then the little rush was on. About twenty prospectors left Elk Leka and about thirty from Gowganda and Fort Matachewan. Some months ago this same Indian started a little "rush" into Midlothian township, following some discovery he was supposed to make there. This supposed discovery proved somewhat of a fizzle in the end, but the new find at Duncan Lake is believed to be something worth while. At any rate the prospectors are head and ears up about it. If it should also prove to be a frost, there is a possibility that there may be another good Inâ€" dian." *4 6â€"0z.

Standard Brands Expand Throughout Dominion Miss Anne Monck, of the Lake Shore Mine office staff, of Kirkland Lake, and Mrs. E. C. Ross, of Orillia, are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Monck, of Timmins. Corwin Wickersham, president of Standard Brands Limited, has recently announced a programme of expansion for the csompany that includes new office buildings in both Montreal and Halifax and new, larger premises in Edmonton and Saskatoon. He further states that this exrhnsion is a direct result of the steady growth in populariâ€" ty of all Standard Brands products since the merger of Fleischmann‘s Yeast, Chase Sanborn, E. W. Gilâ€" lett Co., Limited, and Royal Baking Powder, two yvears ago. The new building in Montreal will serve as headquarters in the Montreal district for all divisions of the comâ€" pany. It will provide increased storage facilities for all products, and at the same time permit of the concentration of all activities, other than manufacâ€" turing, under one roof. This new structure completes, for the present, the developinent plans started in Montreal, just over a year ago, when the new, million dollar Fleischmann‘s Yeast plant was erected at Ville La Salle. Similarly in the Maritimes and West, the new, larger quarters being taken over in Halifax, Edmonton and Saskaâ€" toon are part of the company‘s plan to provide improved facilitiese for the sales and handling of Standard Brands products in all parts of the Dominion. and .200 18¢ 39¢ 31c k fr
