And there are few of us, especially if we happen to be under the age of twenty-five or 80, who do not look forward to "he Christmas "eats." Even if it be true that we may purchase the same things the year round, they never taste the same as they do at the Christmas season and one cannot eat nearly so much without becoming sick. Christmas is a time when young and old may eat of the best and the most inviting without dis- comfort--with the use of a little dis- cretion, and a reasonable time be- tween meals. : But sometimes we find that young- slers get rather ill and very much "fed up" 'With their Christmas cheer before they had very much of it.

SUCCEED WITH KINGSTON MONEY SPENT IN THE HOME TOWN HELPS BUILD THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY By E. M. TROWERN, Secretary, Dominion Executive Council, the 3 Retail Merchants' Association of Canada The great pivot upon which the affairs of the world swing is individual Every year, millions upon millions of tons of literature are responsibility. in all languages, calling attention to the being spread throughout the worl wrongs of soclety as a whole, but in the final anlysis these wrongs can never be entirely righted until every individual in every community takes an Individual responsibility upon himself or herself to see that they are righted. Pure, unadulierated seifishness, is at the Fogyet all the trouble. Strange as it may seem, no person can do a selfish th#ng or commit an un- fair act without having to pay the price himself, of in other words, there is a price ticket on everything. AN ILLUSTRATION, facturing plant, or'in any other institution, who conceived the idea that if | they bought certain lines of staple goods in bulk at wholesale prices and divided them up among themselves that they would save money and there- by benefit themselves, or, in other words, they would be adding to their earning power. If the plant or institution in which they were working were located in a prosperous town or village, their action would affect the legitimate retail merchants, who were endeavoring to serve them in the town, and the result would be that the retail merchants, who formerly handled the lines which were purchased by these persons at wholesale prices would cease handling those lines--and, in order to pay their rent and their running expenses, | they would have to increase the cost of the othér lines which they carried {and which these employees required. What benefit, therefore, would be gained by transactions of that character? If you want to do your fellow citizens, the retail merchants, an injus- tice by interfering with thelr trade for the purpose of endeavoring to benefit yourself or selfish purposes, you have to pay the price in the end, either | in money or in loss of service. This rule applies in every walk of life and you cannot evade it. | COMPETITION'S PART. | The more retail stores we have in the community the better the com- munity will be served. Competition is the most sacred weapon in the world | and it should never be interfered with. Retail merchants open stores in various locations because they believe that they can do business in these locations, or, in other words, they ahr individual responsibility and consequently the risk. Is this not as it should be? Would any sane person suggest that the government should decide as to where and when stores | should be opened? We think not.: The basic foundation upon which every community is built, is the action and decision of the individual. They locate! where they themselves decide is best for them, and around them others as- sociate; and in this way our community is built up. We, therefore, repeat again that the great pivot upon which the affairs of the world swing is individual responsibility. Each individual in every community is there because, in his 'opinion, it suits him best--otherwise | he would leave and go to some other place. » MONEY MUST CIRCULATE, To build a healthy and a prosperous community, as well as a contented community, money must circulate freely. It can only circulate according | to the desires of each individual. If the stores were full of goods, and no knees,' soon depreciate in value, and, as we stated before, they would be "paying the price' for thelr selfishness, which would again prove that "there is a price ticket on everything." You cannot do a mean trick to anyone without | | having to pay the price and this is just as true of every city, town or village, | { "CORNERS" INJURE PUBLIC. | Twenty-five men sat at a table and it was discovered that they all owed | | one another ten dollars apiece. | lars and it was passed around, thus paying debts amounting to two hundred | and fifty dollars, and the first man received it back again. | | Let us suppose that money was short in that town, and the first man | | sent the ten dollar bill away, how long do you think those debts would be | outstanding? | The more that money is kept circulating in the town, the Better chance everyone has to float his or her services, or his merchandise; and they both mean the same thing In the end. Money is only accumulated industry | | and everyone can get some if he only works for it. The chief thing is to see that it does not get cornered by one of two huge monopolies, who can | then control labor, | i If Canada had five hundred thousand prosperous towns, she would be | immensely better off than°if she had only half a dozen large cities. There! { are no slum sections in the towns. To their credit, it can be said that the | | townspeople look after their poor. No man, woman or child need starve] while the townspeople have bread. They know one another better than do | the people of large cities, as they are nearer to each other. { | It has been stated that €anada to-day could accommodate itself to ten million farmers and then have room for many more. Does that not mean! much for the towns? The first question that.a prospective purchaser of a farm asks is, "How near is It to a town?" Is that not a proper question to ask? The town | i is the heart blood of tHe community; it is the bright social spot in the life! | of every farming district: it is the one thing that binds the boys and girls | to the old home. { EY a AeA A AA " | Ing MUSIC.
