Her arm was quite stiff and she found it a difficult task to dress herself. Evidence was taken in the case of the British Whig Publishing Com- pany versus the E. B. Eddy Company, Ltd., in which the plaintiffs claimed the sum of $5,224.37 far failure to carry out an agreement made be- tweén the parties for a supply of paper. Justice Middleton reserved his decision. A. B. Cunningham ap- | peared for the plaintiffs, and G. Hen- | erson, of Ottawa, for the defence. { 'There were just two witnesses in the case, Leman A. Guild, for the Whig, and Mr. Taylor, secretary of the Eddy Company. Mr. Taylor has charge of the sales end of the busi- ness. The contract in question had to do with the supply of newsprint dur- ing the years 1916, 1917 and 1918. Mr. Guild gave evidence concerning the contract which galled for the supply during these three years, at the rate of 150 tons a year. This amount was considered ample to meet the needs of the Whig for a year. A similar contract had been made for the years 1913-14 and 15. Evidence was offered to show that the supply given the Whig fell short of that specified in the contract. Mr. Taylor told about the contract being overrun in 1916 and also in 1917, but stated that following this the compapy came under the restric- tions of th agwaprint controller. Mr. Cunnin@ham held that | the question hinged on the meaning of the clause jn the contract. Some ff meaning must be given to the ques- tion of "whole requirements." The J. BARRETT 5 newspaper was entitled to its sup- ply of 150 tons each year. Each year should go in the form of a sep- arate contract, he held. Work a Specialty.

Pittsburg, Pa, Post After John Wanamaker, New York, announced that he would re- mit $1 in every $5 spent with him, the other great department stores hesitated Just long enough to watch l | the first public reaction. By last | mid-week several alert merchants had started similar sales and to-day there are few big stores in town that are not advertising reduction rang- ing from 20 per cent. on some arti- cles to 50 per cent. on others. Altman's, for pne, is offering a very large stock of women's wear be- low the wholesale cost, and the man- ager of a large rival store today paid Altman's the, tribute of admitting that the offer probably is absolutely on the level. Even the "little fellows" in the outlying districts have fallen in line, depending on a greatly increased volume of sales to compensate for the loss of direct profits. Gerning's five small department stores in resi- dential neighborhoods north of New York are following the Wanamaker plan all the way--that is, $1 back on every. $5, a nickel back oh every quarter, a cent back on every nickel spent over their counters. The J. H. Blumenthal Company of Montreal wired Wanamaker's that an identical sale had been declared up there; Miller Brothers, of Chattano- oga, advertised a reduction of one- fifth on everything' under their roof; so did Rosenthal, of Smytheville, Ar- kansas.

Wanamaker's does not expect any immediate effect on the manufactur- ing costs, but the executives of the atore do believe that in time the rip- | ples of this grand splash in the re- tail market will be felt in the facto® ies. The immediate effect hoped for | is that the speculator, hoarder and | profiteer who have been withholding | goods from the market, awaiting much higher prices, will be forced | to sell at a fair prifit, if not at a! loss. | --- | In Kingston, the noted clothing | house of C.

Two Famous Sons of Prince Edward County { { | | | Every district village, town and city has its distinguished sons. In this respect not many can equal the present standing of Prince Edward County. Many of its young men have gone forth into the world and be- | came leaders. Why, it could be hard | for the casual visitor to that district | of fertile farms to say, but the fact remains that they did leave home. The field of operation may not have | been wide enough at home or the wanderers may not have beep fitted for such occupations as might be found there. Certainly in the case of two par- ticular men, it has been proved that the whole province 6f Ontario, per- haps the whole Dominion of Canada, does not offer them enough scope for their ambitions nor their abilities They are Lieut.-Col. W. Grant Mor- den and Col. P. D. Saylor. Both are famous 'soldiers, and achieved excel- lent service in the late war. Both are also young men, but although young they have reached positions which "It Will Pay You to See These as Shoes Are Going to be Higher" GENUINE Borsalino Hats Are Sold in Kingston at CAMPBELL BROS.

Grant Morden has been a prominent Canadian for many, years. His daring and foresight are a matter of wonder to all who are connected with him in business mat- ters. Forty years ago he was born in Prince Edward County. Since that time he has been educated in Toron- to, started upon a financial career in Montreal, been overseas with the first contingent, and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. Immediately af- ter the war he entered politics in England, and was elected to repre- sent the riding of Chiswick in the British House of Commons. At the present time he is promoting the merger of the largest steel masters -- Don't throw away your Mattresses. We renovate all kinds make them as good as new. Get our prices.

Grant Morden has an insight into affairs and a grasp of matters relative to big business which is re- puted to be almost uncanny. Despite his colossal responsibilities and the work which is always before him, he finds time to indulge a few hobbies. He is an ardent admirer and collector of horses, thorough-bred cattle and deer-hounds. The flying experience which he acquired 'during the war hag left him with a strong Hking for communing with the clouds via aero- plane. Besides the large steel inter- ests with which he is concerned at the present, Col. Morden is connected with the Collingwood Shipbuilding Company, the Pacific Coast Coal Mines, the British Cellulose Co., Can- ada Securities Corporation, Pruden- tial Trust Co., Canada Steamship Lines, Davie Shipbuilding Company and numerous smaller firms, most of them in this country. The other of these two famous sons of Prince Edward County is Col. I am the best auctioneer in Kingston.

Saylor, recently appointed vice- president and general manager of Dunlop America at a salary of $50,- 000 per year. There does not seem to be anything miraculous about his business methods. His success is due to confidence, hard work, a frank smile, honesty and the fact that he sees his way through before" he goes in, Colonel Saylor was born in Well- forty-four or forty-five years ago, the son of a physician. Following in the footsteps of hig father, he became a dector himself, and practiced in New York. He gave up the medical pro- fession to enter the service of the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Com- pany, and by so doing robbed the time after he left this firm and set up a retail business for himself in Ham- ilton, dealing in tires and tire-repair- ing. He became connected with the Canadian Goodyear nine or ten years ago. When this company purchased the plant of the Durham Rubber Company at Bowmanville he was made manager. From that position he rose to the general sales magager- ship in charge of all sales in Canada. He vacated that position to take over and was eventually appointed direc- tor of sales for the Canadian Govern- ment. He took care of salvaged war material, and wag the right hand man of Sir Edward Kemp, Overseas Minister. and his eventual resignation from the military forces, Col.
