Weokly Sailings from Montreal _ (and Quebec) to Ireland, Scotland and England in conjunction with Cunard V A M M. F. Fairlie, general manager of the Mining Corporation of Canada, has notified the municipality of Cobalt that no further reductions in ground rents on lots owned by his company and leasâ€" ed to residents at Cobalt can be conâ€" sidered by his company. The general manager stated that, last year, Minâ€" ing Corporation dropped $170 on the lots, and the company was now willing Qgispose of the surface rights of the lots for sums of from $50 to $150. The Council had asked Mining Corporaâ€" tion, along with LaRosze and Aladdinâ€" Cobalt, to consider the general question of ground rents. No answer has been received from the other companies, and meantime the tentative proposal of Nipissing, the largest ground owner, to dispose of the leased lots for one dollar is still under consideration by memâ€" bers of the Cobalt council. Informal remarks at the last meetng indigated the idea was not being received with favour. The Fergus Newsâ€"Record says the quickest way to find the population of Fergus is to ring the fire bell.

"Can you tell me what that hump on the camel‘s back is for?" he asked. The keeper scratched his ear. "What it‘s for?" he murmured. "Yes; what use has it?" "Well, it‘s pretty useful, sir. The old camel wouldn‘t be much use without it, you know." "But why not?" "Why not!" exclaimed the keeper in surprise. "Well, you don‘t people would pay to see "im if ‘e ‘adn‘t got an ‘ump, do you?"â€"Titâ€"Bits (Lonâ€" don). DECIDE NOT TO MAKE ANY REDUCTION N GROUND FEES WHY THE CAMEL HAS THE HUMP This big bank is not exceptionally large, as compared with other English banks. There are four others that are almost as immenseâ€"Lloyd‘s, Barclay‘s, Westminster, and National Provincial. These are the "Big Five" banks of Great Britain. They stand in a class by themselves. Their combined assets amount to more than £9,000,000,000. What five banks in the United States, or what ten banks, can make such showing? GREAT BRITAIN‘S NINE WONDERS OF EFFIGIENGY To counteract any possible general belief in Canada that all the great achievements of business and indusâ€" try are to be found ‘in the United States, Mr. Herbert N. Casson calls to the attention of Canadians the ‘"nine wonders" of British efficiency. The point he makes in one of higs Lonâ€" don letters to the Toronto Financial Post is "that Great Britain is still far ahesd of all the countries in most of the matters that create a solid prosperâ€" ity." After all, he says, skyâ€"scrapers are not the only criterion of progress What Britain does lack is training in the art of selfâ€"advertisement. Mr. Casâ€" son proceeds to enumerate in the Toâ€" ronto weekly "nine things that are not to be found either in the United States, or anywhere else," and each of which he declares to be "the highest point of human achievement in its own line. Here they areâ€" Each of Them the Highest Point of Achievement in Its Own Line, Says Writer 1. The Midland Bank. This is the largest bank in the world. The big banks of New York are not to be comâ€" pared with it. It is the most progressive Britis: bank, tco, as well as the largest. It is not a vast inert mass of capital. It is dynamic. It is constantly â€"offering new services to the British public. pared with it. It has deposits over £2,000,000,000. Its total assets now stand at the unâ€" paralleled figure of £2,200,000,000. 2. Londor Stock Exchange. This exâ€" change is unique, not only in its size, but in the fact that it is international. It is run primarily for investors, not for cliques of "bulls‘" and "bears." It has its speculative side, but it is never overpowered by speculators, as so many other stock exchanges are. There is always a steadiness that makes it diffiâ€" cult for panics and violent movements to arise. In other words, it is the bestâ€" managed and most reliable stock exâ€" change in the world. The New\York Stock Exchange lists about 1,100 securitiee. The London Stock Exchange lists more than 4,000. It has four times as many members as the New York Exchange. As for volume of business, it has few artifiâ€" cial booms, but it thinks nothing of handling 3,000,000 shares in a day. It is the one great international mart for the best securities of all civilizea countries. It is well managed. It is under control. That is why it is and will remain the centre of the world‘s finance. 3. Lloyd‘s. This famous Maritime Exchange, too, is unique. There is nothing that even slightly resembles it in any other country. It dates back as an organization to 1771, and as a group of brokers to 1689. It has stood the shocks of eight generations, and it has never broken down. Lloyd‘s is an association of about 1,200 men. Individually, they are unâ€" derwriters; collectively, they are Lloyd‘s. They have a resgerve fund of over $30,000,000. They have made the seas safe. If you ask why Britannia rules the waves, the answer isâ€" "Lloyd‘s." 4. Daily Mail. This morning paper has now a circulation of 2,000,000 copies a day. This is the largest circulation, by far, of any daily paper in the world. It is nearly three times the circulation of the New York Evening Journal, which claims to sell more copies than and other American daily paper. The great new building of The Daily Mail is one of the sights of the world. Nowhere else are there so many pressâ€" es. As an advertising medium, too, The Daily Mail leads the world‘s press. Its front page for a day costs $7,000, and it is often sold out for months in advance. 5. Dispatchingâ€"room of the Midland Railroad. As every one knows, the British railroad service comes nearest to perfection. In no other countries do trains run 300 miles without a stop. And in no other country are there so few accidents. The entire Midland Railroad is operâ€" ated from a single room in Derby. Not a train moves without an order from this room. This is the highest point of efficiency ever reached in the operation of railroads, and it has been whelly developed by English experts. 6. Shipyards. The three greatest shipyards of the world are in the Briâ€" tish Islesâ€"at Glasgow, Newcastle, and Belfast. Apart from one shipyard in Germany, there is no other shipyard in any country that can be placed in the same class with the "Big Three" of Great Britain. The largest American shipyard is a child‘s playground in comparison with these. 7. Carreras Factory. If a prize were offered for the most perfect and que factory. it would not go to America. It would go to the new Carreras factory in London. This factory is an industrialized copy of the Temple of Bubsastis, a goddess of ancient Egypt. It manufactures its own climate. Ets machinery is so auâ€" tematic that it makes $2,000 net proâ€" fit a year per worker, It has created new standards of comfort and hygiene for its workers. 8. Cadbury Factory. In spite of all the improvements that have been made THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO \ _"The meeting discussed at gome | length the desirability of having Larder | Lake properiy connected with the presâ€" l‘ ent good road system, and also the deâ€" ’sirability of every step being taken to ‘ improve and maintain good fishing ‘conditions in Larder Lake. It was ‘pointed out that Kirkland Lake, by reason of its importance in the mining world, has become a centre of attracâ€" ! tion for large numbers of tourists during the summer season, and it was felt that | with Larder Lake available as an atâ€" | traction for fishing and camping all | these tourists would extend their stay ‘in the district to enjoy the naturai | beauties and fishing at Larder Lake of remaining only a day or ‘two and then starting on their return trip. Larder Lake could be made such Ean attraction that these same tourists iwould return from year to year and | bring many others with them. . The ‘ Reeve and Exâ€"Reeve and members of ‘the council present agreed with the business representatives present that from a business point of view this | would be highly desirable to the whole idistrict and those present who. are | specially interested in the sport of fishâ€" ing were enthusiastic over the idea otf | being able to attract sufficient attenâ€" tion to Larder Lake that it would be ‘ improved and mainained as one of the | best fishing waters of Northern Onâ€" | tario. I In view of the efforts made here in recent years to secure the installation of fish ladders on the Mattagami river, a recent meeting at Kirkland Lake should be of general interest. This meeting went on record as urging fishways over the dams on Ruven river, and also stressed the need for an auto road from Kirkand Lake to Larder Lake. The Northern News gives the following report of the meeting:â€" FISH LADDERS REQUESTED FOR KIRKLAND LAKE AREA Also Meeting at Kirkland Lake Urges Need for an Auto Road to Larder Lake "Quite a number of the leading citiâ€" zens of Kirkland Lake, Larder Lake and Swastika met on Tuesday evening at the office of M. G. Hunt, to discuss the need of having fishways estabâ€" lished over the dams which exist on Raven river. These dams are an efâ€" fectual barrier against the fish coming up from the lower waters into Larder Lake. The law provides that all dams, such as these, shall be provided with fishways,. and it was the unanimous opinion of the meeting that steps should be taken to have this phase of the law complied with, and a commitâ€" tee was appointed to collect data on the matter and to submit to the proper authorities a strong demand to have this situation remedied. "The question of having an automoâ€" bile road to Larder Lake completed and properly repaired received the considerâ€" ation of the meeting and a committee was appointed to bring pressure to bear to have this work proceeded with early this year. "A resolution was passed recommendâ€" ing these matters to the attention of the Kirkland Lakeâ€"Swastika Board C= Trade and it was arranged that an early meeting of that body would be held for the express purpose of giving support to this movement at which the committees appointed would be reâ€" quested to report progress on the work which they. have in hand. All those present at the meeting were urged to get behind the Board of Trade to asâ€" sist in the matter and to agitate the question among all business men of the district and those especially interested in the sport of fishing. ADD TO THE LONG, LONG ROLL OF JOKES UPON THE SCOTCH A reader of The Advance very kincgâ€" ly (or unkindly as the case may be) <ends in the following clipping:â€"â€" _ "Who is the tightest man in the world?" "The Scotchman who fell in front of a steam roller and turned sideways so it wouldn‘t take the crease out of his trousers." in the humanizing of industrialism this old factory is still at the top. This is the only factory, so far as I know, that is managed by the brainâ€" power and heartâ€"power of its rank and file. It is the only one that has received 35,000 suggestions from its workers. It has been practically selfâ€" governing for more than twenty years. If you want to see the ripened flower of industrialism, you must go to Cadâ€" bury‘s. 9. Underground Station at Picadilly. This is London‘s latest wonder. It was opened last December (December 10 1928). There is nothing else like it in any country. It leads to two subways that run 1,â€" 500 trains a day. The deepest of these subways lies 140 feet beneath the surâ€" face. ‘This station has eleven escalators. It has a vast Booking Hall with disâ€" play walls that show the latest fashâ€" ions. It handles 50,000,000 passenger:s a year. It is a subterranean marvel. so deep that it could hold the highes‘ statute in Londonâ€"the Nelson Monuâ€" ment in Trafaigar Square. Montreal â€" Gazette:â€""An _ Ontari© mining authority, in warning the pubâ€" lic to exercise care in purchasing min ing stocks, says that lot of peopl!: buy on what they call a tip, much a they do in betting on horse races. Hi1 advice is for investors to study th: market and know something about ths mines. This is sound sense, but it is t be feared that the buying on ‘tips‘ wi. continue, unless human nature underâ€" goes gome very radical change. Perpetuate the Memory of Ontario‘s Pioneers This is a young country and there are many duties crying for attention. Time should be taken, however, to preserve the right perspective. In anD the turmoil of attempting to build a great country there should be some time taken to remember those who‘ laid the foundations of Canada. Even: in the consideration of what the early pioneers have done the people of toâ€" day will receive inspiration and suggesâ€". tion for advantage to the country. It is a matter of advantage for the Doâ€" minion as well as gratitude to those who have gone before to pay proper tribute to the pioneers. In an editorial article last week The Toronto Mail and Empire says!‘â€" "The movement started by a number of historical and patriotic associations to perpetuate the memory of the pioâ€" neers of the province deserves to be recognized and encouraged by the govâ€" ernment. : The moral and physical standards of these early settlers formâ€" ed the foundation on which the proâ€" gressive and enlightened province of Ontario has been built. They gave a stability to public life and a decency and dignity to private life which may well be envied by some of the larger and wealthier communitiee of the world. Their meritsy may be forgotten as newer generations arise and pass on. The stones which mark their graves may fall into decay and the graveyards themselves may in time be abandoned. One may be sure that such neglect has none of the spirit of vandalism, but is the natural consequence of passing hisâ€" tory. It is now proposed to make an organized effort to preserve these memâ€" ories of the past. In some places abandoned graveyards have been reâ€" paired and have begun to assume once more an appearance more in keeping with the sacred purpose for which they were established. When public attenâ€" tion is called to these examples it is probable that more places will take up the work of restoration. But to make the work more widespread and more effective organized effort is necessary and a small committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Dr. T. E. Kaiser, M.P., of Oshawa, to consider the best plan for removing the mantle of neglect which has lain too long over many of Ontario‘s pioneers." BUTTERFLY FOUND AT NEW LISKEARD IN FEBRUARY The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€""As much as we despise the butâ€" terfly during the summer months beâ€" cause of the havoc it causes to plantâ€" life in our gardens, yet who could be otherwise then pleased to have one of these gummer pests flitting around house plants in the middle of Februâ€" ary? At least, Mr. George White was pleased this week to see a butterfly amongst his flowering plants." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"It is good news that King George is smokâ€" ing again. The taste for tobacco is quick to abandon a smoker when he is seriously ill, and he is generally well on the way for recovery before it reâ€" turns to him. Incidentally some adâ€" vertiser is losing an opportunity worth thousands of pounds if he does not tell the world what the King smoked.

Premier Ferguson was just remarkâ€" ing after the reading of Hon.
