BARRIE SATURDAY MORNING BARRIE, CANADA, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1920. Sir jes ' $1.80" Por Year Cin ndvance) (The Toronto Globe) Everyone who reads and writes is interested in the price of paper. In a country like Canada, where illiter- acy becomes more rare eyery year, an overwhelming: majority of the people are effected by any marked change in its price, The Supreme Court of Canada recently de- cided that the variety of paper used in the production of newspapers is not a necessary of life, and that for that reason the price is not subject to the control of the Board of Commerce, Noy one would suggest that the man who buys a newspaper to learn what is going on in his own country or in foreign lands is spending (wo 'or three cents on a luxury, so it is to be axsumed that the Judges really meant that newspapers were not nec- essaries within the meaning of the Act, and that control of paper prices was therefore not permissible If the speculators in paper stocks have their way all kinds of paper will very soon be classed as luxuries, It was shown in the financial columns of The Globe yesterday that thé stocks of ten of the leading pulp and paper companies of the Dominion, which were worth $46,082,000 on December 31, 1918, according 'tu the price set by transactions on the Exchanges, had mcreas-- ed in market value on July 14, 1920, to $185,626,000. There has; of course, been no corresponding increase in the tangible assets of the paper compar Some of them have added materially to their manufacturing cap- acity, but the water powers developed and the machin- ery installed during the eighteen months intervening be- (ween the two sels of stuck quotations would not rep- resent an investment of forty million dollars, whereas the enhancement in the market value of paper shares is almost a hundred and forty millions. Speculators all over the continent have been altract- ed to paper stocks because there has been a veritable famine in the department of newsprint. They have put their money up in the behoer (iat famine priees will cone tinue and that for an indefinite period the publishers and readers of newspapers will be under the necessity of paying prices for paper which will yield dividends on the enormously inflated stuck values of the paper man. ufaeturing companies. stack thle has ever occurred No more gigantic in Canada, Even the Trail Creek gold mining boom at its height saw no such phenomenal inereaxe of market values, The paper boom has a much more substantial basis than the British Columbia gold "rush" had, but it ix, nevertheless, a gamble. Canadian paper makers vecupy a wonderfully favored position in competing for business in the United States and elsewhere. They have ample waler powers, secured for the most part very cheaply, and in many cases surrounded by large areas of spruce, which is the best material yet discovered for the making of newsprint. The number of such locations is limited, The best of them have been ulilized or are nol yet available' because of transportation difficulties, so that serious competition resulting in price-cutling is not considered probable in the near future. Yet the spectre of competition must occasionally haunt even the boldest of the paper gamblers, The industry is dangerously prosperous, Its prosperity at- tracts the attention of investors who are searching dil- igently for some cheap substitute for spruce, Some day a substitute may be discovered. The fortunes of the speculators in paper stocks would quickly become paper in a literal sense we flax straw, for example, to be found suitable for the making of newsprint,.as well as strawboard, The more probable end of the paper gamble will be through the attraction of fresh capital to the business and such a development of mill capacity as will overtake the need, There are signs already that capital is being attracted to fresh paper ventures and that within three or four years the available supply Will increase more rapidly than the demand. Meanwhile the publishers, advertisers in and readers of newspapers all over the world must continue to pay the piper while the speculat- or prances about and adds another million to the market value of paper stocks in each day's gyrations, a tl SS SS Se Se ED No. 8, Toss; 27 Angus Centre 16, Nottawasaga.

FA New Canadian Cent. The new Canadian one cent pieces have made their appear- ance in Barrie. These are slight- ly larger than the Canadian ten- cent piece, or three quarters of an inch in diameter. They are exactly the same size as the United States cent piece and are easily selected from the pocket without being confused for a ten- cent pieee, Thé new coins are noticeably lighter than the old-fashioned cents. This is due to not only a reduction in size but to a fra tional variation in the copper content in the alloy of which they are composed. On the face side of the coin appears King George's head, and above it the inscription, "Georg- ius V. Dei Gratias Rex et Imper- ator." This is the same inscrip- tion as on all Canadian cents issued during the present sover- eign's reign. In the centre of the reverse side appear the words, "One Cent," over which is the inscription, "Canada." At either side a small maple leaf, and be- low the year "1920." Anti-glare Headlights 'The new anti-glare headlight bill, which carries a penalty of from ten fo fifty dollars for motorists who fail to equip their headlights with anti-glare lenses or devices, supposed to have been put into effect on July 17, is not yet being enforced, as the Department of Highways has not yet sent oul the list of its approv- ed lights or apparatus to dim and lower lights now commonly used. The first list will he of Can- adian manufactured lights and apparatus which the Government approves. This list is now being completed. It was suggested to the department that the list ap- proved in New York State be used here, but it was not thought fair to Canadian manufgoturers of these articles, and (fle Govern- ment list will place Canadian- made apparatus first. The de- partment may also allow the painting of lens on auto lights to keep the light rays down and the proper strength. At any rate, the law will not be effective until the department issues its lists of approved lights. atl --U.F.0. to Contest 8.

The visit of the Michigan Pikes Association tourists last Satur day did not measure up to. the advance notices. It was expected that the motorcade would arrive as a unit and make quite an im- Posing sight. Instead, it traval-- Jed in three sections, of which the first was the only one to appear at Queen's Park intact. Most of the truck section arrived about an hour later, but the other segtion, containing most of the motor cars, straggled along and were so late that there was no time for specches, During the afternoon several cars belonging to the tour. went through singly. Ono thing that disarranged the local plans was that the Pikers were over an hour late leaving Toronto, Ald. Moore, Ald. Gray, Ald. Beelby, the Town Clerk and A, F. A. Maleom-- son motored to Bradford to meet the tourists and led the first sec-- tion into town, As tHis lot in cluded the band and the male quartette, the large crowd gather- ed in the park had the pleasure of hearing them. Several selec tions were well given by the quartette, particularly 'The Boys of the Old Brigade." Un- der the baton of Direetor Philp, the band played half a dozen numbers in fine style and their music was much enjoyed. inglenook Park Home a Great. Success Tordnto Glohe--"If all our re-- formatories could be broken. up into small groups modelled on the 'Inglenook' plan youthful crime would soon be well under con- trol." pressed hy J. J. Kelso after visite ing the country home opened a yeat ago by W. H &mith of the Social Service Commission in the suburbs. of Barrie, The home is designed to take care of Toronto lads from nine to fifteen years of age whose personal conduct or home environment was not conducive to good living, and its capacity was purposely limit- ed to twenty so that the-.atmo- sphere of a real home should not be lost. "A happier bunch of boys than the eighteen lads in. residence would be hard to find," Mr. Kel- so states. "It is a home in the true sense of the word. A whole~ some atmosphere pervades the place; no irksome rules or re= strictions: no lecturing or scold" ing; no lock-ups, and nothing locked; no grumbling or discon. tent; in fact, nothing but cheer- ful obedience and readiness on the part of each one to do his- share for the general welfare. It is personality that counts for re- formation--not expensive builds ings," Mr. Kelso says in con~ cluding his report. . SENDING IN NEWS One of the things that ought to become a fixed habit in every household in Barrie is that of sending 'The Examiner the news items that you may know of; tell us of your news and any neighborhood or other items that will be of inter- est to yourself, your neigh- bor or your friends. Every lodge, church, body or social organization should have some _repre- sentative who will look promptly, and carefully af- ter its news reporting, if you think some organization has better news service than your own, it is probably be- cause that organization looks after such matters better. Write your items and send them in where pos- sible. Or telephone them, but 'please don't ask that long lists of names be taken over the telephone, as it not only réquires muck time, but usually errors oc- cur in lists thus given. Above all, be early. Never wait till the last minute to send an item that can be sent in early. 2 _ _ The Examiner's telephone |' number is 194--Fix it in | your mind, . Such is the opinion ex- +. rs ,
