The evidence wen: to I show that the salesman went to col- , lect overdue instahnents and was told that the goods were not up to specifical- ' tions, and the purchaser wanted to re- *' turn the goods. The salesman would not consider this but wanted all his money. In the trouble that ensued from the dispute the asault took place. There is a growing dislike of the house- to-house canvasser, especially the transâ€" ient one. So many of them are of the high pressure type and too often the goods bought are a sad disappoiniment. Then another trouble arises zfrom the persistence and assurance of many of these canvassers. They pride them- selves on not taking no for an answer. On the other hand it shouldbe remem- bered that they would no; get far as if they were specially meek and too ready to mildly accept a rebuff. Of course. there are all sorts of salesmen just as there are all sorts of peOple in o;'her lines of life. Some of them are the best in the world. some are not so good. and some should be bifled in the eye. However, the householder has his or her remedy for any of the shortcomings of the travelling canvasser, and that is simply .:o confide purchases to local stores and to firms whose responsibility is known. The local merchants support the town by paying taxes and uphold- ting all the various causes of the com- lmunity. The transient does not help in this way. and in mos; cases the best interests of all will be served by polite- 51y refusing the lure of the house- to- i house salesman. In any event it would appear to be poor policy and costly to bid them in the eye. The well-known brand of tolerance inven ted by The Ottawa Journal would be better in such E cases ‘ with the top of his legs standing at attention and the rest of his 108$ standing at ease. London. England, Punchzâ€"A bowleg' Bed man was recently described as one HOUSE 'I‘O HOUSE AGENT IS BIFFED ON EYE AT KIRKLAND During the year 1931. marked as it has been by decreased and deferred dividends in so many other industries, it may be noted that no Ontario gold mining company failed to duplicate or better in 1931 the rate of dividends in the previous year. Many of the On- tario gold mining companies in one way or anozher have increased their divi- dends, while none of them have reduc- ed their pay to employees or decreased. their staffs. It is estimated that the mines of the Porcupine directly and inâ€" directly are employing 1000 more men than a couple of years ago, though it should not be forgotten that there are a thousand men or more out of work in the camp. through the influx of people from all over the country looking for work. 0 Total “$14,070,457 $121,299.802 Incidentally it may be interesting to we that the Dome, McIntyre, Wright- Hargreaves, and Sylvani-ie. pay their United States shareholders in United States funds. At the same time it is also worthy of note that the chief shareholders of the Hollinger and some other mines are practically all Can- adians and so in view of bonuses, etc., they are doing equally well in the mat- ter of profits. Canada the fact should not be forgot- ten that while Porcupine maintains its dividend-paying feature, the total diu- dends paid by this camp to date are considerably more than double the amount paid by Kirkland Lake camp. A tabulation of the dividends paid this year and to date by the leading gold mines of Ontario will be of inter- est. The following shows the amount of dividends paid this year and to the end of 1931 by the outstanding mines:â€" Div.

Simcoe Reformerzâ€"The Fergus News-Argus reports an insurance man as declaring that barn fires are some- times caused by the friction developed when a mortgage and an insurance policy rub together. The trustees, Wiliam Gibb More and Robert Secular, based their claim against the company upon a mortgage securing $300,000 of six per cent. bonds that this company issued in December, 1929. The trustees, in their statement of claim, related that they had de- manded from the company payment of the principal of the bonds and $18,000 intenest. A despatch from Toronto last week says that trustees for the holders of bonds of Hawk Lake Lumber 00., Ltd. Monteith, District of Temiskaming, last week secured from Mr. Justice Sedge- wick. in weekly court; at Osgoode Hall, judgment, in their favour in their ac- tion against the company. A surprise birthday party was held at 75 Way avenue in honour of the forty-first anniversary of Mr. Wm. Spdnks. An, address was read by Miss Jeanne Groulx and there were beautiful gifts and a cheque. Music was furnish- ed by Babe Groulx's orchestra. The evening was passed in dancing and lunch was served to over fifty guests. HAWK LAKE LUMBER CO. LOSES IN CASE AT OSGOODE HALL Then along came another record to' put the two first-quoted in the shade.’ The New Transfer on Wednesday. Dec. 16th, had a truck make the nip to Kirkland Lake. The truck carried a load of two tons and made the trip without difficulty. It would be a fine thing if the highways of the immediate district could be kept open‘ all winter for motor traffic. The only thing against such a proposal is the cost At present this would seem prohibitive but the day is coming when it will be looked upon otherwise. A large num- ber of car owners put away their cars during the winter months but if as many used their motors now as is the case in the summer, the keeping open of the roads during the snow-time would be considered as practically a matter of course. It is likely that be- fore many years have passed by the increased population and the in reused business of this area will mean that the Ferguson highway and its main branches will be kept open right along. in winter as in summer. i !

North Bay Nuggetâ€"That country up around the Sault just has to get into the limelight. If it isn‘t wolves it is something else. Now it is a cow which was drowned in a quart of water be- cause her harm prevented her from raising her head from the bucket of water. "The Government has done much to encourage the development of this all- important industry,” he continued. “There are numerous schools for pros- pectors in the winter months in al: parts of Ontario and. Government geo- logists are coniinually investigating and exploring the character of different areas where it is thought gold may be found. The gold strike at Red Lake had its basis in the investigations of one of these geological parties. Up to date this province has given the world nearly 3400000000 .in gold and the yield for 1931 will total $43,000,000 which will just about equal the whole gold production of the United Sta:es." The Minister of Mines declared that some people were saying that silver should be restored to its old-time place as the consort of gold and thus enable goods to be bought and sold with silver. But gold was the essential metal and there were great areas still untapped. Present conditions ofiered great oppor- tunities for the production of gold, for boosting employment, for the creation of markets for manufacturers and farâ€" mers and for the buttressing of the na- tional indebtedness. “More gold must be produced," de- clared Mr. McCrea. "The world is cry- ing for money: money with gold behind it to pay taxes and debts and to buy commodities. But there is no: enough gold to meet the need of world com- merce. Commerce lacks this golden lu- brication. Those who would buy can- not buy. 'I‘hos who would sell cannot find customers. There is a distinct slowing up of world commerce. There is not enough gold to go around and the countries that can; increase their gold pnoduction are the countries which will more speedily feel the uplift of better “we will have a return to prosperifii Only when commodity prices are in-. creased and money comes in to buy the- basic products of the farms, mines and forests." declared the minister. “We in Ontario are in a particularly fortunate position. We are large producers of gold in this province. Were we not. we would have to buy gold from other countries and pay premiums to acquire it. The public should get behind the responsible prospector. give him fin- ancial backing and help in various other ways to increase production of the yellow metal. Mr. McCrea declar- ed. Gold was the main basis of credit and currency and its smooth flow throughout the intricate workings of the industrial machine would Open up an era of greater prosperity than ever before experienced, he said. Calling upon the country as a whole to get behind the gold producing in- dustry and in this manner lubricate the wheels of industry and commerce Hon. Charles McCrea, Minister of Mines told members of the Albany Club at luncheon at Toronto last week. that Canada and the rest of the world de- pended upon gold for a. return to pros- perity.

Ontario. died in Kirkland district. hospital on Mon- day after an illness of one week. The late Mr. Brenham was well knewn through the North Country, where he represented the International Harves- ter Co. as salesman. He arrived in Kirkland Lake about'December 4th and was taken ill with an attack of appen- dicitis and removed to the hospital on Monday, December 7th. where an oper- ation was performed. Complications set in from which he died. A brother from Georgetown was on his way to Kirkland Lake to visit him and arrived a few hours after his dea.h. The body was taken to Georgetown Monday af - ternoon where interment will be held." Few things will give Old Depression such a. kick in the slats as lots of the Christmas spirit. TRAVELLER DIES LAST WEEK AT KIRKLAND LAKE HOSPITAL “Among the printed matter issued from Communist headquarters in con- nection with the march," Doak said. “was a book which gave to boys 9. pic- ture of the delights of theyoommunist existence when they should reach a certain age. Among these delights were freedom to drink and ‘to engage in licentious practices.“ Doak said his evidence “established the fact that the march was wholly the inspiration of communism." Dunne's connection with the Trade Union Unity League, Doak said, “under :he law makes him a subscriber to the teaching that this Government should be overthrown by force. and violence." One of the leaders of the 1,500 march- ers who demonstrated at the Capitol, White House and American Federation of Labour headquarters on the opening day of Congress was William F. Dunne, of New York. a member of "all the pow- erful committees of the Communist party in this country." Doak is in possession of the names of leaders of the "march." all of whom. he said. are members of Communist organizations. "Preparations for the march," he said. “began as early as October 14, and they included general membership meetings of the Trade Union Unity League, which has been outlawed by United States courts. the District Court. and Court of Appeals." Doak made public a copy of a “direc- tion sheet" issued to the marchers, which read in part: “Groups of comrades. should be as- signed to make contact with the work- ers in the flap houses. employment agencies, welfare yards, etc., raise spe- cial demands and involve them in hunâ€" ger march. Special attention to em- ployment agencies in negro sections. hiring scabs for longshoremen strike.” Some days ago at Washington, DC. Secretary of Labour Doak revealed that he had documentary and oiher evi- dence that the recent “National Hunger March" to Washington was of direct communist participation." Secretary of Lalbour Doak added. In other words the parade was one more of {lime oom- munist affairs, hatched in Moscow for the purpose of creating trouble and dis- satisfaction in another country. It ap- pears remarkable that Russia is able to get away wi;h so much of this sort of thing in so many countries. Hunger March Inspired ' by Reds Says Official According to the general opinion in Ansonville the place in which the event of the hold-up took place will not be interfered with unless something fur- ther develops. TORONTO DOCTOR GIVEN FIVE YEARS IN PENTENTIARY A despatch from Toronto Last week says that Dr. Ernest A. Richardson, of Toronto, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a. charge of abortion and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by Ma- gistrate Brown in police court. The Ansonville woman, who recently entered a club at Ansonville and at- tempted to hold up ihose present. came up before Magistrate E. R. Tucker on Thursday last and after a severe lecture by the magistrate was sentenced to one year but the sentence was suspended. In her own behalf the woman said that [she had complained to Chief of Police j Arthur Geroux, of Ansonville, on sever- I al occasions as to this club. Her hus- {band was in the habit of frequenting E the place. she said, and she thought he ;WM spending too much money there. When she pressed the chief of police to prosecute the place as a gambling house. he said he was unable to pro- cure sufficient evidence to do this. The lady decided she would procure his evi- dence herself and it was with some isuch idea that she entered the club some weeks ago when she noted a man going in there with his arms around a young man. She had a gun with her and held up the players in orthodoxf manner. also picking up a handful of‘ chips and money from one of the tables. She did not get very far, however. be- fore she was seized from behind and her plans were completely upset. In-l stead of those in the club being arrest- I ed, the woman was placed under arres; and charged with staging a hold-up. Evidence given by other witnesses car- roborated the story as told by the we- man while Chief of Police Geroux ad- mitted that she had complained to him abou: the club on more than one oc- casion. One witness, who had been present in the club, admitted to the de- fence oounsel, W. G. Grummett, that he had not worked at any regular work for some six years. Another man pres- ent when the woman held up the place said that he was playing though not having a membership card in the club. The husband of the woman said that he had played in the club for years without a membership card, but that since the hold-up he had been ap- proached and handed a membership card. He also testified that the club took a rake-off. Magistrate Tucker warned the woman that She had no right to do what she had done and that she had laid herselteliable-to a 116831.881)- tence. In view of the fact that she had children to look after and that what she had done was attempted in the hopes of benefltting her husband and weaning him away from gambling ten- dencies, the sentence given her was suspended. The husband was told that his wife had acted on his behalf and that she was fortunate to get off on suspended sentence, and that all con- cerned would do well to profit by the experience in the right way. The charge was laid in connection with an illegal operation performed on Miss Kate Stillwell, of C-ochrane, two weeks ago. The girl died a. few days after the arrest of Dr. Richardson. A despatch last week from Cabalt says that an automobile accident which happened at Cobalt on June 6 last, and which resulted fatally three months later for the victim, will be probed fur- ther within the next few days. although the actual date for taking the balance of the evidence in the case has not yet been set. The fatality is that in which Charles Brazeau, at the time it occurred an employee of the town of chalt. was so seriously injured when run into by a. truck, driven by William Fraboni, he died in Timmins on September 4. Preliminary evidence was taken before the coroner in Timmins some time ago. and this will be available when Dr. W. C. Arnold, of Haileybury, the coroner at this end of the district. conducts an enquiry with his jury at Cobalt. Fra- boni. en route to Temagami at the time. is. alleged to have struck Brazeau as the latter was in a scoping position over a manhole at the corner of Galena street and Miller avenue.
