These new industries number approximate- `ly seventy-five, "and will employ more than 10,000 hands when in [full operation. a An additional `$5,000,000 was spent in that per- liod in extensions to, manufac- stories, providing work for anoth- er 4,000 men.

During the past week, the Fire 4 & Police Committee and a eom- 1 mittee representing the remen have talked oven-' the points of : tdifference in connection with the ' !new agreement and the result is i said to be `a much better under- standing of the situation. If the Fire and Police Committee make a study of the Fire Deptgand keep in close touch with the members of the Brigade they will be in a position to judge whether the Department is being conduc-e ted with the greatest. possible efficiency and should they see fit to make suggejstions these. will have much greater weight. and be received much more -readily by the remen because offthe better understanding that would exist `between the Council and the Brigade through the joint study of local fire-fighting problems.

With this power they are enab- led to deal , promptly with any emergency as it arises, whereas if authority had to be secured in ` every case from _ the Council a disease might become epidemic before the proper. steps for deal- -ing with it were authorized, On several occasions the local Board i of Health has been criticizedby rnembers -of the Council, but it . cannot. be said that the interests :' of the ratepayers have suffered . to any great extent through the ' actions of the M.

The consumer who g-:rudges;_= the farmer theirecord prices he is now receiving for nearly! everything he has to sell, shouldl` not overlook the fact that a re- adjustment of prices is sure to} come and when the pendulumili swings to the other extreme the farmer will` have to accept the. l-ow prices,` even though they should be less than the cost ofi production. Prices` for larm products are regulated by the law of supply and demand. the; farmers not being able to x the` prices to suit themselves as is donein so many cases by the manufacturers. When potatoes were 'forty-vc cents `a bag, the average `consumer was not averse to taking them at that price although it meant a loss` | I E to the producer. .Today s prices are not- easy to pay, but that s no reason why the public should -rail against the farmer for tak._ ingthe top prices which an un_ der_supplied market gives him. It has been suggested that the A Town Council, Horticultural .So- ` ciety, Board of Trade and Board * of Education co-operate to fur- ther the plan for cultivating vacant lots and increasing the productiveness of back yard gardens. The suggestion is a good one . A strong committee composed of representatives of] these bodies would be able to work out the details and provide` the push necessary to make it a success.'_ An average garden should produce .at least $50 worth of foodstu ffs, and if plans for increased cultivation are pro- l perly worked out _the.total yield from Barrie gardens this_year should reach well up towards the $50,000 mark---n.o small con- tribution... to the general food shortage. Before and since Confedera- tion the Dominion of Canada has `expended the sum of $118,614,- 725 upon its canals and $377,- 146,999 upon railways, which latter amount includes the Que- bec bridge and the subsidy to the'C.P.R. main line-. Fifty years have elapsed since Confedera- tion, which epoch did not occur until a considerable period after railway and canal construction commenced in this country. Yet in less than three years Canada has disbursed an-equally large sum on account of an unpro- voked war, which` strugglehas at `least-, several months still to run. -At the same time Cana- dians have subscribed millions of dollars toward the Patriotic and Red Cross funds and for- warde-d a huge amount of sup- , plies.

It lmeans denite direction, xity of purpose, steadfastness. Loyalty supplies power, poise, purpose, ballast, and works for health and success. Nature helps the loyal man. If you are _,careless, slipshod, .indi`erent, Nature as- sumes that you wish to be a no- body and grants your desire. Success hinges on loyalty. Be true to your art, your business, your `employer, your_ `~house." Loyalty is for the one who is loyal. It is a quality woven through the very fabric of one's being, and never a thing apart.
