the financial post mr king made one of the most constructive comments of his whole career when he uid the other day in relation to governmental ex penditures i would be much more ready to forgive honorable gentle men opposite for not carrying out a few of their pledges than i would be to commend them for endeavor ing to do so under present condi tions during the last election campaign mr bennett went around the country promising various new projects and new laws that the fi nancial post at the time figured would involve the country it they were carried out in total expendi tures ot 400000000 mr bennett is not trying to carry out all his promises now but lie is going fur ther lu that respect than the finan cial condition ot the country will permit mr kings remark came in the courso ot a very scholarly and at the same time practical address in which he opposed i he grown prac tice of making grants from the fed eral treasury to the various prov inces in addition to the annual sub sides provided by the state mr king estimates that during the past ten years grants have been made by the federal government to the provinces concerning which there can be no complaints since they are part of the contract of confedera tion totalled il912ir2 the additional federal grants during the period of roughly the last ten years include payments for the advancement o agricultural instruc tion and aid to employment offices grants for highway construction grants for the promotion of techni cal education giants for the com bating of venereal disease unem ployment relief old age pensions mr king claims that it is a wrong principle for the federal govern ment to make grants to the provinc es for work to be done by the provinces without control of the expenditures by the government that is required to raise the money he points out also that while the revenue problems of the dominion have become progressively more difficult the provinces have in re cent years gained many now taxa tion sources such as liquor revenues gasoline tax and other motor vehicle revenue succession duties and water power revenues mr king might have gone fur ther and pointed out that the system of federal grants to the provinces leads to an extension of the extravagance that is al ready apparent in the affairs of the nine provinces in re cent years provincial expenditures have risen at an alarming rate and it is largely due to extravagant and increased expenditure in this field that the general burden of taxation in the country has risen enormously any increase apparent at ottawa has been moderate compared with the increase in provincial expendi tures for the federal government to have handed over nearly sixty millions of dollars in the post war period to the provinces to aid them in connection with work that should be done by them out of revenues raised by themselves merely adds fuel to the burning fire of extrava gance mr king did a good service to the country in raising this question and in placing on record the figures he emphasized the fact that he was attempting to speak in a nonparti san sense and in fact admitted that under his own regime some mis takes had been made along this line which were now regretted it is to he hoped that the present govern ment and members of all political parties will view the matter in the same nonpolitical light to the end of eliminating this vicious system of bonusing the provinces getting them into easy come easy go habits keep those valuable papers mv safe r a bank of nova scotia safety

thing that has been needed in stouff ville for a long time for town lads to get a real swim they must travel four miles to lake musselinan and we hope that some enterprising citizen will rise up sooner or later and see that the rising generation have proper advantages in this re gard there is enough water runn ing to waste at the reservoirs to keop a swiming tank in good shape the chinese have started making moving pictures and almost at tin outset there is trouble this we gather from reading of a court case in shanghai where hsueh chi- hsi an actor is suiftg for 521900 because he had the end of a finger cut oft during the taking of a picture hsueh claims the scene called tor a substitute linger being nipped off but the director of the business wanted to make it look more like the real thing so off came a section of the actual finger what a slaughter thero would be if the same thing were applied to the pictures which are shown in this country where a couple of thousand indians were killed in less time than it takes to stumble through the gloom in the picture house and find a seat yes and whats more weve watched big juent men tapped on the head by a hammer die right on the spot but of course we know the indians were killed with wax bullets and tit big man was tapped with a straw hammer if the chin ese persist in actual operations in their movies it will be more deadly

thursday and saturday evenings the roots of a treo tap the to the tree which serves as another electrical field ot the ground when storm cloud is overhead the posi tive electricity in it is attracted by the negative electricity in the earth and lightning follows trees such as the oak which have a large root area naturally have larger electrical fields than others oaks also have tap roots which go far into the ground and bring up large quantities of water attraction for electrical bolts the best advice of the davcy institute is to avoid trees altogether when lightning is at work as it would be somewhat dllllcilt for tne layman to make a scientific selec tion in time of emergency better to keep in the open spaces if no house is near and get thoroughly wet than to offer yourself as a tar get
