Three or four weeks ago, The Times stressed the necessity of having as rapid action taken as possible, b of the ity of having the public fully informed before being asked to vote on the question. It is now hoped that the by-law will be agreed upon before the present week is out, and that the voting will take place before June 15. It is essential, of course, that the voting should take place by that time, since the advent of the holi- day season in late June would make it increasingly difficult to secure a fully representative vote after that time. . In the meantime, there is much to be done to in- form the ratepayers as to the exact nature of the proposals on which they have to vote. When a sum of half a million dollars is involved, the subject is one which calls for careful consideration, and while all the official reports which have been made on the plan so far have given approval of the purchase, it will be necessary to place before the ratepayérs such facts as will lead to the wisest possible decision. The Times believes that the purchase, as it has been pro- posed, will be a good thing for Oshawa, and that it should be approved, but the most important thing for the immediate future is to have the by-law and agreement prepared as quickly as possible, so that the ratepayers will have a full opportunity of studying it before voting. | AN ASSET TO MODERN LIFE The business life of the world of today is different from what it used to be. The coming into general use of the telephone has made it one of the chief factors of merchandising, and in this way it has made the daily newspaper one of the great assets of modern business life. The housewife of modern days knows what she wants, and she knows where she can get it almost entirely through the advertisements she reads in the newspapers. : There was a time when shopping was done in a different way from the methods of today. In these days, a housewife went to a store and simply asked for some butter, some coffee, some breakfast food, some bread, and so on. Today, brand names have become household words. The housewife no longer simply designates the ar- ticles she wants, but she also names her favorite brand. This is entirely because of the effect of the newspaper advertising methods which have become a part and parcel of business life, The advertising on a large scale of different brands of almost every ar- ticle sold has created new demands for them, has increased their production until the whole business structure of today may be said to rest on the founda- tion of advertising, which makes business, makes business profitable, and helps the ultimate consumer to spend his or her money to the best advantage. Thus it has its all-round advantages which make it tremendous power in business, whether that business be large or small, U. S. FARM RELIEF 1t is doubtful if the special session of the United tates congress, called to provide relief for the farmers has accomplished anything useful. After much debate, all that was done was to give Presi- dent Hoover a blank cheque for $500,000,000 to be used as he thinks best for the relief of condi- tions. It is still proposed, of course, to provide relief by raising the tariffs on farm products, although ft is hard to see how that is going to help the farmers in a country which has an exportable sur- plus of farm produce, and in which the prices are get, not by domestic consumption, but by the prices which prevail on the markets of the whole world. : In giving President Hoover a free hand and half a billion dollars to spend, the congress has opened the way for a policy of paternalism, a pol- fcy which will not confer any lasting benefits on the Industry, but which may bolster up conditions while the money lasts, only to have them become worse than ever after it is gone. The only hope that is left is that President Hoover will use his undoubted ability for golving relief problems to administer his fund wisely. The people of the United States have confidence in him, for he has already handleq some big problems very successfully, but it remains to de seen whether the mere expenditure of money will make farming conditions in the United States any better than they are to-day. GRADUATES STAYING HERE The employment service of Queen's University, maintained for the purpose of helping its graduates to secure employment in this country, reports that all but one of the science graduates of this year has been placed in employment in Canada, and that between two and three hundred undergrad- uates have been provided with temporary summer employment. It is good news to note that a demand has been created in Canada for the technical graduates of the universities of this country. The employment service at Queen's was established for the sole reason that the bulk of the graduates of the Can- adian universities were going to the United States to find employment, thus robbing this counrty. of its best brains. That condition, happily, is now being remedied, and Canada will have the advantage of keeping in this country the type of men who can be depended upon to become leaders in its citizenship. ! CANADA'S POSITION: Only one short sentence, but one full of mean- ing, appeared in the press despatches telling of the report of economic conditions throughout. the world {ssued by the consultative economic com- mittee of the League of Nations. A review of this report says: -- : "Canada has enjoyed a year of unprece- dented prosperity." Only a few words, but they will carry to every part of the world the story of Canada's position in an economic sénse, advertising this country as one of the world's bright spots. Canadians them- selves know, of course, that this country is show- ing remarkable progress but the official notation in the League of Nations report will tell the whole world that there are few countries which are so favorably placed as is this Dominion, EDITORIAL NOTES In the last election, the Liberal party in Bri- tain was sald to be dead. Right now ijt is a fairly lively corpse. It is rather a contrast that the merry month of May should be chosen as the time for Labor troubles, riots and strikes. : Judging from the results of the reparations conference, Germany seems anxious to treat her war debts as another scrap of paper. A Detroit policeman was dismissed for running a small brewqry in his cellar. Yet the policy 'of setting a thief to catch a thief is considered good policy at times. The Manitoba government has been officlally whitewashed by the inquiry into the Seven Sisters deal. Yet there is suspicion that where there is smoke there myst be some fire. The fact that women outnumber men in 577 out of the 615 seats in Great Britain means that there will have to be a big change in the politic- ians' methods of wooing the voters. Mr. Average Man can take some comfort in the upholding of the act against combines in restraint of trade. Such combines usually mean higher prices for the things he has to buy. | ~ Other Editors' Comment ORVAL'S CHANCE (Farmer's Advocate) Orval Shaw, of "Skunk Misery" fame, should write a book. He ought to be able to give valuable pointers on how to evade the tax collector and those insistent, imperitent fellows who try to collect the monthly instalment on' the radio and the automobile, ANARCHISTS WILL REJOICE (Charlottetown Guardian) Every anarchist, revolutionist and advocate of se- dition and Sovietism in Canada will be thankful to Mr. Lapointe for his effort to take the teeth out of the criminal code so far as it deals with their seditious and revolutionary acts and propaganda. And their number is increasing in the cities of Canada. THE MUNICIPAL INCOME TAX (London Free Press) The Border Cities Star is authority for the state- ment that Windsor and Walkerville will collect an income tax this year for the last time. It also states that Ford and Riverside refiise to have anything to do with the law, It will give these cities an advan- tage over rival municipalities where the levy is en- forced, as, for instance, London, JAIL AND LASHES FOR BANDITS (Regina Leader) Canadian courts have always been hesitant about imposing the lash but are showing a growing dispo- sition to do so for offences against women and in cases of robbery, especially robbery with violence. Two young men, Jack Hildeman and Mike Kuzmak, have just been sentenced in Regina to 12 years and 30 lashes and ten years and 30 lashes, respectively, on being convicted of participation in a number of hold- up affrays. There will be little disposition to quarrel wi these sentences and a good deal of approval of them.

Why? Because there is something about your particular blood that renders it unable to fight off the organisms of the common cold. Now Dr. V. S. Cheney, of Chicago, who has done a great deal of work in preventive medicine, tells us that he has been able t obring on all the symptoms of a' cold, from a slight head cold to a profound attack of flu, by producing an artificial acidosis of the blood. And the severity 'of the symptoms was in direct proportion to the amount of acidosis induced. The symptoms rapidly subsided by giving baking soda in large doses. If when the "cold" first appears, a teaspoonful of baking soda is given every two hours until three doses are taken, the cold may be prevented from getting any worse. The usual meal should not be taken, and an enema of "injection" of soap suds should be used to move the intestine as constipation is usually present. After the soda is taken it should be followed by a large glass of hot water. The nose and throat can be spray- ed with baking soda mixture, a téa- spoonful to a pint of water. Your family physician can give you an alkaline 'mixture that may suit your blood better than does the bak- ing soda. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act).

CORNWALL PLANS T0- BECOME CITY Board of Trade Committee Preparing Report on Annexations Cornwall, Ont., May 6.--If plans being outlined in special reports to be made by a committee of Corn- wall board of trade are carried to fruition, Cornwall will, within a very short time,, annex some of its suburbs and incorporate as a city. The resulting municipality would have a population of 16,453 according to latest figures procur- able from the board of tradé com- mittee and from Assessor W, A. Craig, whose report for the year has just been filed. Assessor Craig places the population of Cornwall town proper at 10,938. The board of trade committee estimates the population of the area which it is proposed to incorporate at.5,515.

Claiming that the lost foreign mar- kets are now beginning to be recon- quered' he pointed out that "now 'export bounties, enjoyed for so long by our principal European competi- tors as a result of currency deprecia- Ltion, are beginning to disappear the drastic reductions in prices and costs, which British producers have made in the last five years are at last be- coming effective, In short, the inter- national scales are again beginning to be weighted in favor of British goods. Ex Lower It was still true, he admitted, that exports were much under the pre-| war figures, but he reminded his au- dience that "trading conditions all over the world have altered beyond recall. For instance, many countries which in pre-war days were regarded as mainly raw material producers have established home industries un- der the cover of a high tariff wall Secondly, there is a tendency for the | centre of gravity of foreign trade to move away from Europe to count- ries bordering upon the Pacific. Thirdly, there have probably been im- portant changes in the relative im- portance attached by the peoples of the world to different classes of goods and services entering into foreign trade. While the figures for our ex- ports of foods have stagnated our "vi- sible" exports, which include many important services which we contri- bute to the world in the realm of fi- nance, insurance and commerce have expanded in a marked manner." Turning to new industrial develop- ments in foreign countries Lord Ebb- isham uttered a warning against "sla- vish imitation." It was necessary, he sisted, to consider new methods in their relation to British conditions. Not Adaptable "For example," he renfarked, "we are frequently exhorted to copy Am- erican selling practises quite regara- less of the fact that high pressure sales campaigns coupled with mass advertising in a closed market are StoBIE-FORLONG &@ STOCKS BONDS GRAIN sy Head Office: Reford ; BAY AND WELLINGTON S18.
