The pioneers of any new country naâ€" turally expect to face hardships, but while this is all to the credit of the pioâ€" neers it is by no means any honour to those who cause or permit the hardâ€" ships. It is all very fine for some comâ€" fortable gentleman in a town or city to sit back and moralize along the line that it is the hardships that bring out the wonderful qualities of the pioneers â€"the courage, the patience, the indusâ€" try, the optimism. But what of the gallant pioneers who failâ€"who suffer and starveâ€"yes, and die. Is it not a shameful »waste of the best types of human life? Talk about what the ol¢â€" time pioneers endured is more or less beside the point. Many of the pioneers of parts of Old Ontario did not have enough to eat, perhaps, and they enâ€" dured all sorts of difficulties and danâ€" gers But conditions all through the world have changed. Fifty years ago or less, the towns and villages had no electric lights, no telephones, no gramoâ€" phones, no radios, no motor cars. The men in the cities and towns and villages in Ontario fifty years ago had no easy time either. Compared to conditions in the bigger centres toâ€"day the pioneer of this year of grace suffers much more hardship then his pioneering ancestor of a half a century or more ago. All this is to preface the following interestâ€" ing paragraph from a recent issue ofi ‘The Meaford Mirror. The pioneer, of. toâ€"day may get more sympathy, as ‘The Meaford Mirror suggests, but that is about all he does get. For what it brings him the settler toâ€"day might just as well tell his troubles to the trees. However, here is what The Mirâ€" ror says:â€" "The pioneers of Western Ontario knew nothing of bush life. Many of them did not know how to fall a tree. Many of them did not have enough OLD~â€"TIME PIONEERS HAD MANY HARDSHIPS TO BEAR During the past year the work of the St. J. A. B. was very helpful in this district.

You can help the patient and you can help the doctor, if you know how. And the St. J. A.

Because you can at least safely hanâ€" dle the scores of cases that arise rround the average homeâ€"the cut hand or foot, the injured limb. You can give relief to the suffering child, at least until a doctor can be secured, and after the doctor arrives you can be of so much more help if you have had the training and the knowledge that the home nursing course give. Because of the frequent loss of life by drowning, and so few people unâ€" derstand the right way to treat the apparently drowned. Because nothing makes one feel so useless as that feeling of helplessness experienced by the untaught when desirous of easing pain or carrying out the doctor‘s orders. Because, though arresting bleeding is quite easy, when you know how, thousands of lives arelost annually in cases of serious accident through the life blood ebbing away in the sight otf the sorrowing but appallingly ignorant spectators. Because the needless suffering caused by the ignorance of unskilled persons is deplorable. By rough handling, through want of knowledge of how to support an injured limb, a simple fracâ€" ture is often made into a compound fracture. It may be asked why any woman should bother to take up the study of home nursing. "Canadian First Aid" answers such a question with these paragraphs :â€" mins, will bring full details courses toe any who would care up the study of home nursing. @.: "Define ‘handicup‘."

"What sect believes in polyâ€" Answers to the "Exams" â€"Exchange of the to take The air of mystery which has enâ€" veloped the case is deepened by the fact that all efforts to discover relaâ€" tions or friends of the missing man According to the information receivâ€" ed by the police, Ludger Jacques and Joseph Claveau were out on Lake Teâ€" magami some weeks ago. They had agreed that they would look after the engine of their boat, turn and turn about. While changing places in the boat it is thought that they upset the boat and Jacques was drowned. This is the idea put forward by Claveau, who suspects that Jacques carried out with him a quantity of liquor, chiefly beer, when the boat they were in upset. Claveau admittedly had only a hazy reâ€" collection of what had occurred after the pair had left Temagami, but he told the police both men had been drinking and he was sound asleep in the canoe when Provincial Constalble McClelâ€" land, stationed here, drew alongside nearly three hours after the drowning. The officer is certain that Jacques has been lost. The man could not have reached shore without some report of his whereabouts being sent out, and the presence of a stranger in any of the touring camps would have been noticâ€" ed, the constable believes. It is now more than seven weeks since Ludger Jacques, formerly of Timâ€" mins, was supposed to be drowned opâ€" posite Narod Lodge, in Lake Temacgaâ€" mi, about eleven miles up the lake from Temagami Station. The tourist season always means that the lake is busy with traffic. This year there has been about as much boat traffic on the river as usual. Despite this fact, and despite the other fact that all owners and users of boats on the lake have been especially asked and urged to watch out for any bodies there might be in the lake, nothing yet has been seen or heard in the way of any word from or about Ludger Jacques. This condition has given rise to two theorâ€" ies:â€"one is that Jacques is not dead at all but has simply moved on someâ€" where else; and secondly that he has been drowned. | Just WATCH FOR THE CHECKER TAXI aUPPOSED DROWNIN TFMAGAMI STHLL MYSTERY $1.00 any place in Timmins $2.00 to South Porcupine Despite Most Careful Search, No Trace Of Ludger Jacques, Supposed to be Drowned Seven Weeks Ago, Has Been Discovered 32 Third Avenue, Timmins THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Hamilton‘s One Dollar Checker Taxi "Free Taxis Toâ€"morrow" Phone 11 Perfect Service The Northern News last week said :â€" ‘"‘Timmins, boasting a population of 10,000, reports an opening High School attendance of 202 pupils, while Cobalt with only 4500 population started off with 195." The Northern News might have noted that including those atâ€" tending the technical section the total enrolment of the Timmins High School at the opening was 356, with more enâ€" rolling from day to day since. There is no fault to be found with Cobalt for educating as many of its people as possible. Over $900,000,000 is invested in hyâ€" droelectric power plants in Canada and it is estimated that $80,000,000 is beâ€" ing spent this year in additional de- velopment. People who came down the lake on the night of August 9, told of having seen two men in a canoe. One report had it that they appeared to have been fighting, but another version was to the effect that they had been changâ€" ing places and had stood up in the craft to do so. This latter theory agrees with Claveau‘s story that they took turns at running the engine. The only report which might indicate that the body had been seen in the lake came from Factor Thorpe, of the Hudâ€" son Bay Company‘s post at Bear Isâ€" land, who told the police that, while returning there one nighty, he saw something in the water that looked "like a pillow." Thinking the object might be the missing man‘s remains, Mr. Thorpe put about and searched the vicinity, but without success in the darkness. Since then, careful search has been made of the shores, but no sign of the missing man has been found. Jacques, who met Claveau on the train,:â€" formerly had been working in Porcupine, apparently for P. Morin, and he had a letter in his possession from the Workmen‘s Compensation Board, who have been pressing for some further infornation regarding him. have proved futile so far. Letters found in Jacques‘ belongings at Timâ€" mins, where he formerly had been employed, and written by a Miss Ida Langlois, supposed to be his fiancee, and whose address is given as Courterâ€" eal, P.Q., were followed up by the police, but Constable McClelland says he has had no response to enquiries made for this girl, while he lhas been notified by the postmaster at Courtâ€" ereal that that official has no knowâ€" ledge of her. No relatives have made any enquiries for Jacques, whose home address is unknown, but who was thought to have come from some part of the Ottawa river valley. A card in his possession, indicating that the owner had been receiving treatment in an Ottawa hospital, gave the name of Jacques Fortier. It is probable the assistance ‘of the Quebec provincial police will be sought in an effort to clear up this phase of the affair. A Broadwayâ€"toâ€"Southâ€"Sea Comedy Romance "HER CARDBOARD LOVER."
