Cobalt Kiwanis Club has evolved a plan to boost silver and incidentally to help the general recovery of the ecuntry "by increasing the amount of silver in circuiation. In a word the Cobalt Kiwanis plan may be summed up in the idea that as many people as possible should be induced to carry $2 in silver in their pockets. They can €arry as much more as may be conâ€" venient, but they are pledged to have at least $2.00 in silver in place of bills to that amount. Among the objections to the plan is the danger suggested by an old story. In this story there was a man who was perpetually attempting to borrow a few dollows and who was cons:antly ‘being refused by friends. "Sorry, old man!" the friend approachâ€" ‘ed would say, "but I don‘t happen to Have four dollars with me." So the borrower hit on this plan. He would approach a friend: <and>~ suggestively running his hand in his pocket would enquire:â€""Can you change five dolâ€" lars for me." Being anxious to do.any little accommodation like that the friend, would reply, "Why sure, old man." â€" "All right," the borrower would Cobalt Kiwanis Have Plan to Boost Silver in behind the Kiwanis plan, there is Mable to be this sort of dialogue :â€" "Have you the $2.00 in silver required by the Kiwanis resolution?" . ‘"Why, say, "then lend me four dollars." If it is known that every Cobalt man gets dollar, eh?" ‘The Cobalt Kiwanis plan is expected to create a demand for silver currency. It is even hoped to so increase the need for silver currency as to stimulate the mining of silver again. If it would do that it would be great stuff. In the meantime there is certainly no harm to be done by trying it. If other clubs take it up, the plan is liable to spread far beyond the Kiwanis membership and to attract general attention. The textâ€"of ~the resolution passed by the Cobalt Kiwanis is as follows:â€" "Whereas we feel that every means of stimulating business recovery and the promotion of world trade should be taken, and that in the interest of silver mining particularly and the minâ€" ing industry generally that citizens of Canada should use silver currency to a greater degree than formerly, the memâ€" bers‘"of the Kiwanis Club of Cobalt pledge that they will carry on their person an amount of not less than two dollars in silver, and that a copy of this. resolution be sent to All Kiwanis Clubs in Canada with a nequest that they pass a similar resolution and @also that â€"copies of the be sent to Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Hon. Edgar Rhodes and Hon. W. A. Gordon at Otâ€" tawa, and the Hon. Charles McCrea cert in Toronto." Try The Advance Wast Advertisements Moderately Priced and Guaranteed W. T.

In the case of a public man, for instance, one critic will see the foolish things he has done, the promâ€" ises he has not fulfilled, the good things he has done ‘badly, his errors and faults and shortcomings.

"The Journal likes to think it mainâ€" tains the middle road between the Polâ€" lyanna school and the confirmed cynics. It would rather say a kind word than a harsh one about anybody, prefers to praise rather than to blame.

The Journal by temperaâ€" ment rather. would point with pride than view with suspicion and alarm, and it is a matter of some satisfaction that this characteristic is recognized and appreciated." "The Porcupine Advance, published in Timmins, makes the comment that "when The Ottawa Journal is feeling specially goodâ€"hearted it can say a good word for pretty nearly anybody or anyâ€" thing." We take this as a compliâ€" ment, like to. think that it is true. There are kind words which ought to be said for "pretty nearly anybody or anything," and so many people go about uttering unkind and ‘bitter and and sceptical remarks that the balance somehow ought to be preserved. "Newspapers and individuals ought to ‘be as free with discriminating praise, where praise fairly has been earned, as with disapproval and condemnation. The poor fellow who is suspicious of everyone, can find no good anywhere but in himself, is to be pitied, rather than blamed.

The reâ€" solution was as follows: "Whereas, the undertaking of improvement and culâ€" tural operations in the forests are urâ€" gently required in the public interest, and constitute excellent objectives for unemployment relief projects by reason of the large proportion of labour costs involved; resolved, that the executive be instructed to make urgent repreâ€" sentation in the federal and provincial governments for the inclusion of foresâ€" try operations on a iarge scale in any programma of useful public works apâ€" proved for unemployment relief operaâ€" In an editorial article in its issue of Wednesday of last week, under the heading "A Few Kind Words," The Otâ€" tawa Journal says:â€" "Vigorous, Independent, Intelligent, Influential" ADVOCATE FORESTRY WORK TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT Canadaâ€"Wide Drive ‘to Weed Out Frauds Mr. Cole, who said he was "p‘nchâ€" hitting" for V.

He stated protection for the mining investor should be strengthâ€" ened and elaborated in every possible way by the insistonce upon full pubâ€" licity ‘being given to all promotions. A despatch from Quebec City on Thursday of last week said that the formation of a National Committee of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to take up with the Dominâ€" .on and Provincial Governments the guestion of enacting m»egulations t3 govern the protection of both the inâ€" vestor and the mining industry itself, was urged on Thursday last at the closing business session of the thirtyâ€" fifth annual meeting of the institute by E. Y. Dougherty of the Vipond Mine. His suggestion came in the debate perâ€" iod which followed delivery of a paper by George Cole of Winnipeg (formerly mining inspector for Porcupine mining area) on methods of protection for the mining investor in the Western Proâ€" inces. Ontario Sccuritiee Act Criticizsed fer Canadian Institute cof Should Make Report Before treasury stock is issued to the public a report should ‘be made ‘by registered mining ongineer on the minâ€" ing property controlled by the company, he read. Similarly, in a reasonable way, security of mineral property titles should be established by surveys. It was at this point Mr. Dougherty offered his suggestion. "I believe," he stated, "we are really the backbone of the mining industry. A strong nationâ€" al committee from our ranks would be likely to receive the coâ€"operation of the Governments and we could then take a hand in getting rid of the faker And the wildcatter, at the samse time, perâ€" haps, ridding ourselves of some regulaâ€" tions which are irksome without being of any material benefit to either the industry or the general public."

Objections to the Ontario act, Mr. Segsworth said, were an excess of red tape in its operation and arbitrary deâ€" cisions by those who did not underâ€" stand the mining business.

Paedie'ts Greni Changes A reader of The Advance sends in the following clipping from The Mai gndEmniré’wmchheanbed interest to many readers of this paper. "The rise of Scotland as an indusâ€" trial country dates from the Act of Union. The fortunes of England. and scotland have fAuctuated in close corâ€" respondence. Unhappily, the differâ€" €nces between their economic strucâ€" tures have operated almost without exâ€" cept.on to intensify in Scotland the difficulties expsrienced since the war by the whole of Great Britain. For aone thing, the heavy industries, coa:, iron and steel, and shipbuilding, which have been among the worst sufferers from the slump, absorbed a much largâ€" er nproportion of the industrial workers in Scotland than in England.. Moreâ€" over, the shrinkage of overseas trade has intensified the depression in the Scottish departments even Oof these inâ€" dustries; shipbuilding occupies a relaâ€" tively larger place in Scotland than in England, while Scottish coal has been more deeply concerned, directly and inâ€" directly, in export trade than English, taken as a whole. in order to undertake the production necessary for her own needs. It is alâ€" most certairly desirable, whatever may happen in respect of broad world poliâ€" cles, that Scotland should attract withâ€" in her borders a greater varigcty of inâ€" dustries, ‘particularly of the lighter The Clydesdale Bank survey conâ€" cludes that there can be little doubt that Scotland‘s economy may have to undergo prenounced changes before an acceptable standard of living ‘becomes once again distributed over the entire population. It may ‘be necessary, for example, if the present degree of econâ€" omic nationalism throughout the world is maintained, for Scotland to rely more and more upon her own resources More and more in Scotland‘s Economy sorts and preferably concerned with "consumers‘" rather than "producers‘" goods, in order to reduce her excessive dependence on the heavy industries. Perhaps more important than all, the primary industry of agriculture in all its branches must ‘be nestored, by outâ€" side assistance and internal reorgan.gâ€" ation acting conjointly, to a state of security and wellâ€"being which, through long neglect and apathy, it has for many years been denied."
