Many Sensations Sensations comme quickly. Per haps the most interesting develop ment; was Hon. W. F. Nickle that he would run in Kingston, his home town, as a Prohibition candidate backing the Ontario Temperance Act. Kingston already has two "Wet" candidates, one official and one Independent Conservative, and although the city voted "wet" by 1,300 in the last ple- oiscite, Nickle is regarded as dan- serous in Conservative circles here. Apart from his personal candidature, "e will contribute a forensic leader- ship to the Ontarla Temperance Ac: supporting forces, and they hailed nis advent into the arena with great delight, The most prominent church ele- ment in the campaign is the United Church of Canada which with its leadership and rank and file throu- ghout the province, is backing the Ontario Temperance Act. The ac- tivity of this church in Ontario at present is the most pronounced it kas shown so far in its relations with public affairs.

Sir William ad- dressed members of the Rotary Club in the Windsor Hotel Closer Understanding He gave a lengthy outline of his investigation of what he termed the "'cut-price evil," and endeavored to explain why his association felt that there should be a better understand- 'ng between manufacturer, distribu- tor and retailer. The manufacturers of proprietary or branded articles, he said, have almost invariably advertised the prices at which the consumer could obtain the articles and in fixing the selling prices obviously take care not to allow more than a reason- able amount as profit to the distri- butors, All in Partnership "If the manutacturer realizes," he said, '"'that the distributing end of the business is as much his concern as are the advertising and manu- facturing end of it, he will be anx- ious, as far as possible, to exercise as much control over his article be- tween the time it leaves his ware- house door and the time it reaches the actual consumer as he does over his manufacturing, packing and ad- vertising departments, "The proper conception is that in the business of proprietary articles, manufacturers, wholesalers and re- tailers are three partners perfbrm- ing separate functions, "The success or the business will depend on the harmonious working together of the three partners. The wholesaler or retailer who starts to sell at less than the price originally fixed by the manufacturer doeg not do =o in the interest of the partner- ship. He does not cut prices in or- der to enhance the business in that particular article; he has a game of his own to play in it he uses the erticle reduced in price as a pawn. Protecting the Price "This has been recognized by some of the shrewdest and most successful manufacturers of. articles whose names are household words and wno wave, in consequence, taken great pains to prevent their goods heing sold at less than the specified prices." Sir William said that in the ab- ence of a fixed selling price exper nee showed tha tprices of branded rticles had often reached so low 1 level as to leave no profit at al!

The result was that the customer who thought he was a good buyer would return and purchase articles of the value of which he was not so good a judge.

These have been anxiously anticipated for some time by the library staff as the combina tion of increasing circulation and a decreasing store of fiction has beer rapidly emptying the shelves. The library has received two valu- able gifts this week. The first from the publishing house, Long: i.mans Green & Co. by David Car negie is called "History of Muni- tions Supply in Canada." It gives an excellent account of all Canadian activity during this period and the Saturday Night says of it "This book is ane of the greatest monuments that could be raised to Canada dur- ing the war." The other gift was sent from the Canadian government irchives. It contains a copy of let- ters which formed part of the Lord Northeliffe collection. These letters cover the period in colonial history when the French regime came to an end and Canada became once and for all a British possession. They consist chiefly of letters from the generals Monckton and Townshend and include such valuable documents as the last letters of Wolfe and Montcalm, Townshend's report of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and a letter of Pitt's announcing reduction of Quebec. The book is brilliant}y illustrated with pictures of Lord Northeliffe, Louis XV and MAN TRADES HIS WIFE FOR HORSE: Said Animal More Useful To Him Than Woman Metlenhofen, Bavaria, Nov. 20. Anton Morasch, 35, a basket-wea- ver, faces three months in jail as a result of attempting to trale off nis wife for a horse. Morasch, police said, proposed the bargain to Her- man Saamer, son of a horse dealer, saying that a horse would be much more useful than a wife. Saamer asserted he took up the propostion as a joke. He soon found out he was mistak- en because Morasch told him "to go and fetch the wife." When Mor- asch went to the stalls and began untying the animal he had bargain- ed for, Saamer said he protested. A fight ensued during which Morasch drew a knife and stabbed the man who he said had 'violated his word." Morasch was arrested on a charg of assault.
