The lo- cal employment office did receive a few calls, and the casual employment provided in this | © way was greatly appreciated. With the coming of more springlike wea- ther, however, there should be a greater in- | + centive to have the spring cleanup of the house, cellar and garden started at once. There are in the city hundreds of homes which could provide at least one day's work for an unemployed man, These men are ' willing to undertake any kind of work, from beating rugs to digging gardens, so that \ they can earn a dollar or two by honest la- 'bor, Their families are in need, and they | U would rather supply these needs by work- © © ing than by seeking charitable assistance. It is to be hoped that this second appeal ' will bring an even larger number of requests | * for men to do. cleaning up work. The em- " ployment office at 8 Bond Street West, tele- ! , phone No. 547, is at the service of all who desire any kind of work done, and a call to that number is all that is necessary to bring : the man.ta do the work, and at the same . ¥ time those citizens who respond will have { the satisfaction of knowing that they are i the families of those who, kiy reason . of oo Aployment, Are in great difficulties in supplying the necessities of life. TREES FOR THE HIGHWAY A splendid example of practical beautifl- : i eation of the highways of Ontario has been are many other ey . undertaken by the city of St. Thomas, which has decided to plant thousands of black wal. nut trees along the sixty miles of highway running through Elgin County. The St. _ Thomas Chamber of Commerce sponsored this scheme, and twenty-one rural schools % the route being beautified held special i eéremonies while the first trees were planted 'near the school buildings. This is an idea that should spread. The black walnut, trees, of course, are among the . most beautiful that can be secured, but there types available for this pur- pose. The , too, cam be secured from . by trees the forestry stations of the provincial gov- | ernment, without charge, and thus the cost "of the work narrows itself down to a ques- tion of the labor of planting them. With the :re-naming of the provincial yoads as The King's Highway, it might be fo © yoad to co-operate in continuing this task a good plan for communities all along the | of beautification, so that, in the years to Li come, these provincial highways will become * dren cise | beautifully shaded avenues, With stately trees flanking either side, thus adding to the delights of motoring through Ontario. A DANGER TO CHILDREN days are bringing the chil- t 'on to the streets to play, and are it necessary for motorists to exer- ese spring Th making more than ordinary care to prevent ac- ou cidents, Most motorists are very careful in this respect, and it is surprising, in view of | the fact that so many hundreds of children are to be found playing on the streets of | 'Oshawa, that there are not a great many more accidents than there are, There is a particular problem, however, in the rural sections lying along the provin- cial highway. Children walking to school on these roads often find themselves in dan- ger, because, with no sidewalks, they are | forced to walk out on the highway. In win- ter, when the trafic is not so heavy, the _ menace is not nearly so great as it is during _ the months of heavy motor traffic, i : fo resis i yy greg " aX -- highway between Port Hope and Co- ng to the depart. ys tok aly ve Hue a wise suggestion, +L nly Fiplete of high. + 'but for all highways. which carry a ++ amount of pedestrian traffic, and along ca children have to walk to go to school, og awa Bafly Times of the. Provincl nothing to crow The suggéstion that sidewalks be built along the side of the provincial highways is not a new one. It has been given some attention, but township councils are not an- xlous to assume the burden of building side- walks in these locations. It is evident that, if the danger is to be eliminated, that action must come from the provincial Highways department. Every year many pedestrians are killed because of the lack of these side- walks, and since the provincial government owes a duty to the pedestrians as well as the motorists, it is only right that some at- tention be given to this problem, A CURE FOR DEPRESSION One of the' chief remedies for industrial any country lies in the hands of the @ of that country. Industry be- comes d because people have stop- ped buying 'the goods produced by industry, or because they are buying articles which are made in some other country. Both of these reasons have a good deal to do with the present conditions in Canada, In the first place, the reduced returns from the last wheat crop have seriously impaired the buying powers of the Canadian people, In the second place, Canadians are buying altogether too much from other countries, It does not require much argument to prove that Canadians can, by their own ef- forts, do much to stimulate industry, They need only insist on buying goods made in the factories of Canada to help keep the wheels of industry going in this country. For every $100 spent in goods bought in Canada, a large proportion is paid in wages to those who made these goods, - On the other hand, for every $100 spent in goods made in an- other country, the same amount goes to pay the workmen of that country for making them. In other words, every Canadian who buys imported articles, when Canadian-made articles of the same type were available, is penalizing Canadian workmen, depriving Canadian workmen of the opportunity of earning wages, At a time like the present, this is worthy of very serious thought on the part of every citizen, It is up to Canadians to lift them. selves by their own boot-straps, so that they can surmount the difficulties of the present time, and acquire habits of buying goods that are made in their own country in pre- ference to any others, HONOR COMES FIRST One of the outstanding features of the British budget introduced in the House of Commons the other day by the Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, is the reference to the re- duction of the British debt. It is charac- . teristic of Britain that, no matter what sac- rifices have to be made, debts must be paid. Snowden could, had he desired, have pre- sented a balanced budget, and avoided the imposition of new taxation, but that could only have been done by ignoring the debt reduction provisions that were made, and with Britain the payment of debts is always a matter of honor, In the last year, according to Snowden's budget, the normal debt of Britain was re- duced by $155,000,000, and the floating debt was reduced by $487,000,000, These are stupendous sums, sums far in advance of the whole of Canada's expenditures for all pur- poses in a year. Yet Britain, with a magni- ficent effort, chooses to spend that money to reduce its debts rather than lighten its bur- dens of taxation, : In Britain's case, honor comes before ex- pediency. Pledges must be kept, even if it means piling an additional burden of taxa- tion on the shoulders of the people. It is rather a fine attribute this -- that Britain will make untold sacrifices of material things rather than any sacrifice of national honor --but it is the tribute which has. placed Britain in the forefront of the countries of the world.

Captain Robert Dollar's advice to those who would be successful is not to be afraid of hard work.

But money speaks laudest in The Price (Stratford Boacon-Herald) of a Farm A friend from the country was paying a short visit to the office the other day. He had never been through the mechanical department of a dally newspaper, It was Just about closing time when he made his trip around, and all the oper. ations of closing the last pages, roll. ing in mats, casting plates, getting them bolted to the press and starts ing on the day's run were to be seen to advantage, Our friend was surprised at all he saw; he admitted he had no {dea just how it was done, although he had always imagined there must be considerable machinery in, use to permit of a complete paper be- ing turned out each and every week ays Looking at a linotype machine, well equipped for the setting of various faces of type, he inquired what such a machine would éost, and received the reply that with all the extras secured for this machine it would represent an. expenditure of about $4,500, He was, at the time standing be- tween two such machines, and re- marked, "Right in this little 0 there is an equipment worth $9,000." Then, looking at a row of seven such machines, he was moved to say he would not care to have to put up the purchase price for so much equipment, Some of the ma- chines, it might be added, with less equipment, cont slightly loss, He was also Interested In a» couple of the latest type of auto- matic presses, These are used In the job printing department, and are the last word in good equip ment. Once again came the ques. tion: "And what are these worth?' "About $4,000, probably a little over that mark," was the answer, "Do you mean that in these two machines there is tied up the price of a well-stocked farm, for I can buy at that price a very desirable place with good bulldings and equipment." Looking over the equipment for casting plates, and the newspaper press as well, he inquired it it were too pertinent to ask what such a section cost. There is nothing sec ret about it, so he was informed that it would be very close to $35,000. Then came another very logical question as the rolls of paper were being holsted up on the back of the press, "How much paper goes into the Issue to-day?" And the answer was given, "Al. most a ton and a half." Once more the financial mind came to the surface with the added query: "And what will that cost you?" "Just a little better than $00." Turning again to find a parallel in things he produced on the farm, he added: 'I've seen years when I didn't get that much off four acres of oats." 0» Coming upstairs he was shown a blue print showing how a new tele. graph service was going to be in stalled in the office, involving the erection of a special wire from here to Kitchener at the expense of this office. It was also explained how a new machine, already here, but not yet in operation, will automati- cally record from 17,000 to 20,000 words of telegraph and eable copy from all over the world in this of- fice each and ever week day. "And that will also cost a nice penny I suppose?' was the comment on the latest improvement. He was assured that it would, come menting that there would be the price of another splendid farm in. volved, although it would occupy no more space than an ordinary of- fice desk. The definite figure can- not be stated until the machine Other Editors' Comment PRINTER'S INK (W. Francis Lloyd and Bertram Austin in "Capital for Labor") An advertisement is like a ma- chine, It is an appliance to save time and trouble. A good adver. tisement reduces the cost of mark- oting as & good machine reduces the cost of production. The con- sumer does not pay for the adver. tisement any more than he pays for the machine, In fact he actually pays less for the article because of the advertisement and because of the machine, In order to reduce the selling price to the public, a manufacturer, must spend large sums in advertise- ment in the same way as he must spend large sums on improved ma- chinery. He is thus able to reduce the cost of distribution and the cost of production by enlarging the scale of his business. The cost of advertising is a capital investment, quite as much as the cost of fur- naces, engines and hollers, The effect of a single advertisement persists after its appearance and depreciates with time, just like a machine, Both must be constantly renewed, Some manufacturers are, as much afraid of spending money on advertisements as they are of buying new and better machinery. To succeed in business thers must be courage, Successful business men are ploneers and venturers, During the past few years we, In has been put in operation, because oxperience ha« taught that there 1 always something extra that has to be provided for. Before going on our visitor re- marked: "This little trip has made the price of a newspaper look dif- ferent. I don't suppose you ean make much profit out of my sub- scription?" He was assured that there was no money made out of selling him a paper. It actually represented a slight loss, What our friend from the eoun- try learned while going through thi» office is not one bit different from what he would have found out from going through other newspaper of- fices. Although in many of the smaller cities where there is only one paper, the competition from outside sources is keen, and the papers in the smaller places must be prepared to meet it. There Is also that desire to grow and de- velop, although it must be admitted that the growing pains make rath- or severe inroads at times for the financiers of the office to negotl- ate.~~Btratford Beacon-Herald, Eye Care and Eye Strain| by C.

Bavion, M.D. HOME OR HOSPITAL TREATMENT ; As you know "distant fields look green', and so it is with some indi- viduals and their ailments, They get the idea that there is somethin, dif ferent" about their particular ailment, and so they pass over their own phy sician and perhaps even the specia- list in their own city and go to a distant city for advice, I have in mind a chap who had in- jured his back. His physician re- ferred him to a specialist who ad- justed a brace to hold the injured joint in place, and yet permit the patient to walk about. After arriving home he took off the brace and threw it down on the floor with a bang, and immediately took a train to a city more than one hundred miles away. After consulting a physician there he was induced to get on the train at once, and accompanied by the phy- sician, he travelled another 600 miles to another city to consult a well known specialist, Here, much to his surprise and chagrin, he had a brace adjusted that was exactly the same in construction and measurements as the one he had thrown down so disgustedly in his home eity, Dr, H.
