The total U8, investments in Canada at present are estimated at $8,000,000,000, Prior to the World War they totalled only $417,000,000, These figures give a graphic idea of the money flowing into the Dominion from the United States. This influx of outside capital has been mutually beneficial. Canada has been en. abled to expand industrially and to develop her mineral and timber resources; the United States is getting a good return on her investments. Capitalists below the in- ternational boundary find Canadian invest- ments safe and profitable, : Close commercial ties strengthen the friendly relations between these two great neighbors of the North American continent, They are politically divided, but economical- ly and socially they have much in common, Here are two nations that can live as peace- ably as neighbors as under a single govern. ment, each working out its own destiny and entertaining a2 wholesome respect for the traditions of the other, INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING ON CANADIAN YOUTH Fifty years ago boys and girls were adept at weaving rag rugs, knotting quilts, card- ing wool, spinning homespun and stretching carpets, Today boys and girls know the en- tire alphabet of the automobile, electric household utensils, steam heat system, aero- and radio. But the youth of today knows little of what constituted the store of knowledge of the youth of yesterday. The omniscience of youth in every era is amazing, but that of today would be inex- plicable but for one thing more than all others. That is advertising. In the news- papers, magazines and poster boards chil- dren are finding a vast storehouse of practi- cal and useful information and instruction. The value of this incidentally acquired know- ledge cannot be measured in classroom hours, Youth is finding that advertising pays. Psychologists have expounded the theory that truths are observed first by the ado- lescent. In. the case of advertising it may truthfully be said that there are some of mature age who have not yet learned the value of advertising. Advertisers do not buy ine and billboard space for THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1928 ofessi Once there was a young man who had al- ways dreamed of being wealthy. As a boy he had pictured himself dressed in the height of fashion, snappy cut to his clothes, and all that, walking down Simcoe street. People on the sidewalk would peint him out, saying, "Yes, there's Sam Green--young fellow, but smart, Yes, sir, smart, Got a good pile salted down already." Sam, as an initial step toward wealth, had saved, and after a time had reached his first goal, the $1,000 goal after which, tis said, the money just grows, But about this time Sam got a girl, and then he wanted to make a splurge. He wasn't going to take her into any little two. by-four house; he was going to have a real home, So Sam began looking around for ways to help that $1,000 grow, and like many a thrifty, but too impatient young man, bought wildcat stock. And the $1,000 was gone and with it Sam's dream of a cosy little home, and all the reat, To return to the ad in the bank window, "If you dream castles in the air, save and put a foundation under them." But be sure the foundation is a solid one, PASSING OF THE COUNTRY STORE The country store is passing, It is going to join the covered wagon, the town pump and the ox team. Many of them still keep their old estate, but in many more of them, modern fixtures, plate-glass showcases, cash registers and steam heat have supplanted the wood stove, the up-ended nail kegs, the cracker barrel and the dry goods box handy for the whittler's blade. With its mingled smells of new rope, kero- sene, yellow soap, coffee, cheese, plug cut and calico the country store has been an insti. tution peculiarly its own, What the department store is to the city the cross roads general store has been to the country, What the club is to the city the general store has been to the country, The country store has been the forum and intellectual arena of hundreds of isolated workers, These scattered centres for rustic gather. ing. have been the fountainheads of those rivulets of politics that joined themselves into floods of national opinion, Rural Canada is in process of transforma tion, and every step in that process brings nearer to obsolescence the country store of song and story, The hot-dog stand, the roadside garage and the tea-house are aid- ing in its extermination, but they can never take the place of this pioneer institution, I am not so lost in lexicography as to for. get that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven, --Samuel Johnson, An enlightened mind is not hood-winked! it is not shut up in a gloomy prison till it thinks the walls of its own dungeon the lim- its of the universe, and the reach of its own chain the outer verge of intelligence. --Longfellow, The St. Maurice Valley Chronicle, publish- ed at Three Rivers, Quebec, recently issued # most elaborate special issue (in magazine form) featuring recent developments and future possibilities of Three Rivers and the St. Maurice Valley District. The district served by this enterprising newspaper is one of the most rapidly developing industrial districts in Canadas, pulp, paper and hydro power being the chief features.

To further follow up the ar ticle Mopearing in yesterday's {is- sue of The Times concerning the projection of pictures upon the spray at Niagara Fale, the man- aging editor of the Montreal Star comes forward with an editarial on the subject.

In the case of WCOT, the commission charged: 1. The station was used as a means of direct advertising. 2. For promotion of Conn's eandi- dacy for mayor of Providence; + 3. For expressing Conn's views of all private matters; 4. As a medium of attacks on his personal enemies. The majority of WCOT broadeast- ing time was used in expressing Conn's personal views upon matters in which he is personally interested, the commission said, Appearing before the commission, Conn testified he had broadcast that there were only three men in history and their initials were "J.C "They were Jesus Christ, Julius Caesar and Jacob Conn," he said. ESSEX CLERGYMAN REPORTED MISSING Mystery In Disappearance of University of Toronto Graduate " London, Aug. 23. -- Mystery sur- rounds the disappearance of Rev. Franklin Hutchinson, rector of Deod- dinghurst, Essex, who was a well- known visitor to Canada and was a doctor of literature of Toronto Uni- versity. He left his rectory after an- nouncing that he was going to Ireland for a holiday, but he never arrived there and was last seen at Bishop's Stortford the following day. Police found the rectory in disorder and the remains of a meal unremoved. It is reported that the Bishop of Chelmsford received a letter from the rector announcing his intention of re- signing his living, but the general be- lef is that Canon Hutchinson had a breakdown from overwork and is suf- fering from loss of memory, What Others Say WEEDS INSIST ON GROWING (Fergus News-Record) An incident is typical of the. sea- son. In other years, the district this side of the West Montrose has been exceptionally free from weeds--a con- trast to some of the farms nearer home. On Sunday it was not un- usual to see the farmer out in his field looking for the occasional weed that dared to raise its head. This year, there is not such a contrast and it appears that weeds will insist on growing if they get a chance and that the feht against them must be kept up continually. ALBERTA COAL (Calgary Herzld) Local operators are by no means satisfied with the statement of Hon. Charles Stewart, minister of the in- terior, that the question of extending the special rate period next sprin on Alberta coal to Ontario rests with the railway companies. They con- tend that the fixing of the period is 2 matter which rests with the gov- ernment. It is claimed that the per- iod of three months is too short for a real test of the special rate of $6.75 to be made; they want the rate to come into effect in January and continued until the end of July, which would give operators a six months' period. GIRLS IN THE OLYMPICS (Sun, Vancouver) The Victorigh type of girl, languid and helpless, may have been an ador- able person in her early years. At Jeast the novelists say she was. But she must have made life 2 merry hell for herself and her family when her later years turned her Tanguor into indigestion and her demureness into bad temper. The novelists have neglected to tell us about that. No person, male or female, can live a normal, kindly and useful life t adequate open air exercise. old Greeks knew that. And women played a big part in their iginal Olympic games. f the performance of women in these m Olympic games can encourage girls all over the world to get out and exercise in vigorous open air exercise, even the ruination of a few Olympic contestants will not be too high a price to > pay for such a hygienic and eugeaic benefit.
