REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers asd Stome, Inc, New York and Chicago. [i hr z WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928 EEE PROCRASTINATION In his preachments Elbert Hubbard re- flects "I am not sure just what the unpar. donable sin is, but I believe it is the disposi- tion to postpone and evade the payment of small bills," How vast is the army of work- ers-for-their-fellowmen who can say amen to that little sermon. Perhaps there are sins more unpardon- able than "the postponement and evasion of bill-paying," but at least it cannot be said that there is a sin more frequent in commis- sion, Tradespeople, professional men and other public servants will attest to that lat- ter as a declaration of fact. To be sure, no one would place the brand of "dead-beat" upon all who are slow in pay, There are extenuating circumstances in all phases of life and financial reverses, pov erty and ill-fortune are visited upon most members of the human family sometime during their worldly existence. Toward such the creditor-world gladly shows pa- tience, But Hubbard remarks that "curious- ly enough, the people who are most given to this sort of sin are not the poor nor the il- literate." ; Hubbard might have mused over the mat- ter further and found that the "postponers and evaders of payments of small bills" may be divided into two groups, those, who must gratify a mania for buying, knowing they have not the wherewithal to pay for their extravagances, and those who, without any perverted intent to defraud or cheat, have allowed themselves to acquire the habit of "slow-paying."" The former in time lose their credit but the latter lost the respect rd : of their fellowmen, which man is entitled to the dollar he has and if you accept service you admit his to his "pay" for that service. ALL CAN HELP While Oshawa has much to be proud-of as it considers past achievements, it would be 'sheer folly at this stage of the city's devel- opment to rest on the oars and be content with laurels already won, Oshawa's present high standing among communities of its size has been won as a result of foresight and aggressive policies on the part of those who in earlier years believed in the home town and, armed with that faith, fought along, uphill fight for the things that make Oshawa a better place in which to live. Never before in its history has Oshawa been in position to go forward in such rapid and substantial development as right now, But to do the things that must be done if the community is to continue to pro- gress there can be no diminution of that * spirit which made it what it is today. In this work of building the home town everybody may and should contribute his bit. In fact, it is unfair for the great body of citizens to stand idly by while a minority of more public spirited citizens takes upon its shoulders the whole burden of making Osh- awa larger, better and more prosperous. A few energetic citizens can accomplish much but no matter how great their work it would be dwarfed by the achievements possible from 100 per cent, community co- operation, It required thousands of slaves to build the pyramids and the Chinese wall. With every citizen talking and working for Oshawa there can be no retrogression, EDITORIAL NOTES Two popular musical instruments are the dinner horn and the horn of plenty. How dull business would be if every man refrained from buying until he could afford it, Who can remember when the peroxide blonde was about the most dangerous men- ace to husbands? It is easy to acquire a reputation, but it -takes a lot of hard work to make a good one, Just to demonstrate how busy we have been with stern reality, it can be cited that a year has passed and failed to bring out a single new breakfast food. | ana Ae, sitio.

One field which was apt to forget this, she said, was the mission or lodging house for old men. Another outstanding fea- ture of modern social work, she continued, was the acknowledge- ment of the importance of child training. i ¥ NARBOW ESCAPE Ottawa, May 8.--A blll to incor- porate the London & Port Stanley Railway was blocked, but not de- feated, by the Railway Committee of the House of Commons today. After passing the preamble of the bill at a meeting last week, the committee this morning defeated one the clauses respecting capi- talization, It was pointed out that at both meetings the attendance at the committee had not been repre- sentative, and, rather than kill the bill because one clause was reject- ed, it was agreed to sit again, "I WOULD I WEBE A BIRD" St. Thomas, May 8.--The vaca- tioning spirit is even affecting poultry in this cty, and affecting them early in the season.

The silver cel is sold by one dealer at the rate of 10,000! pounds a year. 'The Jew will not touch an eel. It is against his re- ligions principles. Generally speak- ing, they sell at from.12 to 18 cents a pound, and are brought from Prince Edward Island, Quebee, 1iri- tish Columbia and Nova Scotia," The dealer said eels were palatable to. taste when served up either fried or as a vealed jelly. "Recause of their healing quali- ties, very often the skins are used in the treatment of sprained wrists," FEES NOT ENOUGH (By Canadian Press) Toronto, ©Ont., May $9.--Extraet from a case in division court: -- "The secretary of the club said in his evidence the fees were $65 per annum for single' men, and $75 for married."

Diamondd are more expensive now, HE DOUNYS IT (Hamilton Herald) Leader Sinclair is a comparative. ly young man, and therefore might be pardoned for his remarkable statement that in the days of the Ross government there were not nor could be any élection irregular- ities. AN EXPERT NOW (St. Catharines Standard) On the occasion of his stumping the St. Catharines riding the pro- vinelal election of 1923, Mr, W, T. R. Preston threatened a libel suit By this time he is no doubt an expert in that phase of the law.

Indeed, serious illness fol- lowing teeth extraction is heard of all too frequently, and suggests that either the extraction has been clumsily performed or, what fis more probable, that the teeth should have been permitted to re- main, 10,000 TRACTORS FOR PRAIR. TIES, (Government Bulletin) An increase of 64 per gent in the sales of farm tractors in 18927 over 1926 is revealed in statistics of the farm implement trade, The sales. of tractors in 1927 in the Prairie Provinces werg: Manitoba, 1,414; Saskatchewan, 5,727; and Alberta, 2,885, The total number of tractors now in use on farms in these provinces is 50,136. Along with the sales of tractors there is a corresponding market for larger implements than are handled by horses, An important facto in the tractor market has been the suc- cessful introduction of the combine harvester on the Canadian Prairies, BALANCE IN INDUSTRY (St. Catharines Standard) A total of 490 unemployed men at Winnipeg, are registered for farm work, A great many of the number have been in Canada only a matter of a year or two. The news from Winnipeg is indi- cative of a condition jin Canada which is a matter for the study {and direction of statesmen, In recent years, Canada's policy has been to put all her eggs in the izricultural basket, The result is, employment on a large scale in ies like Winnipeg, for many ynths at a time, . This country should establish a <lance in industry, There may al- ays be seasonal unemployment, In + northern clime that is unavoid- ible. But we have resources in anada which should make this yuntry one of the greatest manu- cturing countries in the world. o steel which now goes into tomobile manufacture should be iilled in Canada; our iron ore should be developed.
