It is too bad to take away all hope from a nice township like Teck, but Hon. Mr. King said recently that not one ship shall go to any Conservative province. "Let me repeat," he said, as cries of "«shame!" shine out 0n the pages of Hansard, "let me repeat," he said, "I would not give five ships to any Conservative province, because they would take credit for getting them."

The little girl was found at one o‘clock in the morning, with her ccat torn and her face scratched, but otherwise unhurt. When asked what she was doing out at such an hour the youngster is reported to have said that she was attending the Ukrainian school. It would appear that investigation is necessary if there is any school in town that keeps children until after midnight and then allows them to go home unaccompanied. What does such school teach? What necessity is there for a Ukrainian school in this town? And why? Timmins, Perhaps, the best evidence of <the unfailing optimism of the pecple of this North Land is their reply to comments about the weather at almost any time of year. In the fierce heat of a July day, remarks about the scorching rays of the sun, usually bring the response,""Well it‘s better to have this weather now than later on." In the winter when the therâ€" mometer sinks down below decent depths, it is still "better to have this weather now than later on." When the cold and wet are unduly prolonged in the spring and even on into the summer, the average North Land man is not too greatly troubled about the unseasonable climate but still feels it is better to have the bad weather over with. Hope springs eternal in the human heart. Good weatheris always coming in this North. And it does comes! There are some great days in this North Land, and it is a great country and its people the kind whose faith and cheerfulness are bound to win out in the end. GRAVEL Che Horcupine Advatnce TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘The Northern News suggests In one of its issues last week The Ottawa Journal tells of a noted historian who says that automobiles are at least three thousand years old. Some of the paragraphers have hastened to add that some of them look like it, but what The Advance would like to know is the name of that noted historian and sofe particulars of the facts upon which he bases his statement as to the ago of the automobile. A few years ago The Advance published a letter from a valued reader who signed himself for the occasion, "Thirty Years A Motorist." The signature aroused much discussion at the time, many claiming that the automobile was not thir:ty years old, and others suggzesting that this being a young man‘s country there was no man here old enough to have run an automobile thirty years before. The Advance was able to show at the time that the automobile was actually over thirty years old, but even at this late date this paper would take some pleasure in proving by 29170 more years that the correspondent was right in fact and effect. At the present time many newspapers are publishing a story to the effect that a Detroit hotel porter, while receivâ€" ing a sa@lary of $6,000.00 a year, made an additional $12,000 in tips, according to evidence given in court. The item is used to point the moral that the ordinary people who tip porters are not in,receipt of salaries of anything like the size of the one credited to this porter, and so are foolish to risk giving a tip to a man‘mak'mg $18,000.00 a year. While the giving of tips is not to be commended, being wrong in principle as well as effect, it is only fair to point out that under modern conditions few porters or others similarly placed are in receipt of even $6,000.00 per year salaries, even including the tips. There was a time when some men did make notable amcunts largely through the tips received. But big business concerns soon learned this fact and made allowance for it in settling salaries. The result is that the public in many cases simply relieves the big business firm from the necessity of paying salaries. Indeed, there have been cases reported, even in court evidence, where men have actually paid concerns for the privilege of collecting the tips. There does not seem to be any reason for worry in regard to porters or others becoming unduly rich from tips. The idea that tips will make men rich is largely a myth. There are always circumstances and conditions to assure the fact that porters and others in hotels and elseâ€" where shall not make too much money. The tipping pracâ€" tice should be stopped, because it is not fair to any of the porters concerned, but it is the fact that most people know that tips actually form a material part of the salaries of some servants of the public that good citizens continue the though objecting to the principle. Some weeks ago reference was made in The Advance to the fact that in the past two or three years tourists reaching North Bay have been told that it would be best not to atâ€", tempt to go farther north on the Ferguson highway on account of the danger from forest fires The Advance pointed out that stories in the daily newspapers recently referring to bush fires near North Bay had been resented by the people of that city, and that accordingly the North Bay folks should be able to realize how people in this North Land feel about the false rumours circulated in North Bay and elsewhere as to forest fires in this part of the counâ€" try. The North Bay Nugget commented on the editoria! note, suggesting that tourists who sought information on the OFFICE 26â€"â€"-â€"â€"PHONE8â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 7O er of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assoc It‘s an ill wind that blows no good, according to the proverb. And even bush fires carry some advantages. For instance the recent bush fire near Kirkâ€" lank Lake has practically provided that town with a safety zone that will be of benefit in stopping the entry of tush fires into the town. Published Every Thursday by: GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription $2.00 per year _ U i News suggests that the folks of Teck townâ€" satisfaction at least for the large amount of rom that mining township to the Dominion know that at any rate the Canadian navy em. It is too bad to take away all hope from p like Teck, but Hon. Mr. King said recently hip shall go to any Conservative province. â€"" he said., as cries of "«shame!" shine out on Ont., Thursday, June 5th, 1930 AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER United States...$3.00 per year Sudibury police have decided to stop the nuisance of horn blowing on autos at weddings in that city. Years ago Timmins had to take similar action as the row made by some of the wedding parties, especially some of the Russian Austrian and other foreign peoples, was most objectionable and senseless. matter of forest fires should have applied to the Board of Trade Tourist Bureau, the Northern Development Depart-‘ ment, The Nugget, the Forestry Branch, or the ‘provincial or city police, in any of which offices they would have been given only the truth. No doubt had any tourist applied for information regarding forest fires to any of these official sources, only the facts would have been given. But the| trouble was that the tourists were not left to seek informaâ€" tion. The references to bush fires along the Ferguson highâ€" way were volunteered. If the tourists took these stories at face value,, as they might easily do, particularly if they noticed bush fire stories featured in the daily newspapers under North Bay date lines, then they would not be likely to make enquiry at official cources. If some plan could be: found whereby tourists and others would only seck inforâ€". mation from official sources, and if private individuals would not volunteer alleged information for selfish reasons or. simply through foolishness, or lack of fact and senst, there would no doubt be a much larger number of tourists come up m the Ferguson highway. Apart, from the injury done to the tourist trade the false reports about the danger of bush fires in the North are specially obpectionable because of the |anxiety they cause relatives and friends of the people in | the area falsely referred to. People from the North who are smm visiting in the South see the reports of the menace of cerâ€" tain forest fires alleged to be raging, and until they get the facts through some reliable source they naturally suffer | anxiety about relatives and friends who are in the area | supposed to be affected. People in the South who havei relations in the North are similarly troubled unnecessarily. ; This point was made plain before the party of newspaper! editors "visiting Timmins last year, E. L. Longmore very clearly showing the injury and anxiety caused by false and sensational newspaper stories about alleged forest fires. Iti is to be regretted that the daily newspapers did not feature this. Had they done so, it might have reminded themselves of the injury from these false stories. North Bay at present‘ realizes‘the injury and annoyance through distorted tales of ‘ forest fires. It is to be hoped that North Bay people will keep the matter in mind all this coming summer and folâ€" lowing summers, and that the memory will prevent any and every North Bay resident from thoughlessly or otherwise telling any tourist or anybody else anything that wil have | a tendency in any way to injure the North. North Bay reaâ€" lizes that its prosperity is more or less linked with this North. The majority of the people of North Bay no doubt speak kindly and truthfully of this North, so far as they know it. Let all North Bay citizens keep a watch on their tongues and their imaginations, so that tourist traffic farther ! north may be encouraged. That policy will pay North Bay in the long run. The chief issues of the present election may be summarâ€" ized as follows:â€"That fiveâ€"cent speech, the tens of thouâ€" sands of unemployed, the thousands of miles of highway that should be linked as the Transâ€"Canada highway, and the thirtyâ€"cent budget. Anyone should be able to figure this out. A sports and political picnic is announced by Rev. Father} Quilty to be held at Douglas on July 28th, this year. At this | picnic leading politicians on both sides will discuss the isâ€" | sues and the tissues of the day. Douglas, Eganville and Mount St. Patrick are centres in Renfrew County, Ontario, | where the pecple dearly love a battle, physical, mental, poliâ€"i tical, or otherwise, and even on occasion enjoy a good fight.} The political battle on July 28th is by no means the first c? its kind in Renfrew County. Nearly twenty years ago | there was a picnic at Eganville where a grand political be-‘ bate was staged, and a good time was had: by all. The. speakers upholding the Liberal side of the argument in-‘, eluded two of the most gifted orators in the Liberal party at that time, Hon. A. B. Aylesworth and Hon. Hugh Guthrie. At that time the Liberal party was noted for the number of eloquent and able speakers in its ranks, and there were few with greater fame than Aylesworth and Guthrie. The third Liberal speaker was the local candidate of the day, T. A.‘ Low, of Renfrew. The three made very effective peeches, But the Conservative speakers more than held their own. They were T. W. McGarry ( afterwards Frovinâ€" ‘cial Treasurer), Hon. I. B. Lucas (Provincial Secretary), gand Dr., M. J. Maloney (now the member for South Renâ€" frew in the Dominion Houise). Seldom have three more eloâ€" 'quent and forceful speakers addressed so large an audience \ from the one platform on the one day in any part of Canada in the periodic discussions of political issues. All three had different styles, but all had the popular appeal, and all were gifted with minds and tongues most ready. The picnic was a big time for all parties. It was enjoyed at the time and also before and after. It would be a possible event yet no doubt to start a row between oldâ€"timers of 1911 in Renfrew on the question of the respective merits of the six speakers involved. Recentiy severai newspapers have been referring to the| great changes that have taken place in the profession and its allied trades in the past few years. One newspaper reâ€" calils the days of old when subscriptions were paid for with cordwood, if any, and editors all were poor. Cordawood has long ago ceased to be currency in newspaper offices, but some editors still are poor. And that is not a slam at anyâ€" one in particular! Another newspaper mentions the time when all type was set by hand and the hours were long and the printers poorly paid. Sill anothers refers to the "tramp" | printer, the "readyâ€"print" newspaper, and other oddities now almost extinct. There have been great changes in the newspaper business. And most of them have been for the better. The newspaperman is no longer half mendicant and half patriotic saint and chore boy. He is a business man. But probably the most noticeable change in regard to the newspaper game has been in regard to the newsboys.‘ the boys that deliver the paper each day or each week. Thirty or forty years ago the typical newsboy was a ragged. urchin with much more to say than clothes to wear, and neither his clothes nor his talk were very clean or wholeâ€" some. The usual newsboy or earlier times was poor, impuâ€" dent and illâ€"caredâ€"for. Toâ€"day the typical newsboy is "aA little business man, usually clever, polite, clean and tidy, a ;worker, profiting by his experiences as a newsboy to learn ithe principles of success in life, making money by effort and industry like any other salesman. Many of The Adâ€" vance newsboys, for instance, are proud of their bank acâ€" counts. and The Advance is proud of the standing and abilâ€" ity of these clever young business men. Some fortyâ€"odd years ago J. J. Kelso became interested in the newsboys. many of whom were no more than street arabs, and from that interest grew eventually the Children‘s Aid movement. Toâ€"day, there are no street arabs in the newsboy ranks. To be a newsboy toâ€"day is to be in an honourable calling, a useful business, and to have opportunity to make a little money and a lot of friends by moderate effort. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Hon. Mackenzie King just stops short of saying that his memorable utterance about a fiveâ€"cent piece was intended as an expression of his high esteem of the people of Canada who live in provinces conducted by Conservative Governâ€" ments.

Praise, in song, all loyal children, With the swesetest mirth of tune, When in loyalty we celebrate The King‘s Birthday, Third of June ANOTHER INTERESTING AND RAREFE OQOLD COIN IN Hugh O‘Neill, of Timmins, this week chowed The Advance a very rare and interesting old coin, just a few short years less than a hundred years old. It is a silver coin of the value of two pence and was one of those specially issued to commemorate the corcnation of Queen Victoria. It bears the date of 1838 on the one side with the crown and laurel wreath. On the cther side is the proâ€" file of Queen Victoria, with the Latin inscription telling that she was the queen of Britain. While there were a number of these twoâ€"penny silver pieces issued in the coinage commemorating the coronation of Queen Victoria, they did not long remain in general circulation. Collecâ€" tors and others soon had majority of them, while the rest found their way to the banks and on account of their reâ€" semblance to the ordinary threeâ€"penny bit the slightly smaller silver coin was not continued in sireculation. The samâ€" ple owned by Mr. O‘Neill is neatly mounted to make an original style of attractive tie pin. "The mill has not yet been operated to full capacity owing to difficulties in grinding. At the present time tonnage is approximately 65 per cent. of estiâ€" mated capacity. Bullion shipments are, _ of course, below estimate in the same proportion. Pursuant to contract the General Engingering Company are to i operate the mill for a prriod of 60 days. a‘Their engineers and staff are on property and are coâ€"operating with cur own staff to bring it up to its guarâ€" anteed capacity. Mr. Young reports | very satisfactory results from the ‘ mine." HOWEY MILL NOW OPERATING ON A 65 PER CENT. CAPACITY In view of the fact that there has been a conflict in recent unofficial statements as to what is actually going on at the Howey Mines, in connection with ‘milling ojpt>raticns, the following official statement was issued last week: Apsrt from the official statement, it is undersiceoed that millheads are runâ€" ninz arcund $6.50, while costs are averâ€" aging $3.50 a ton. That leaves a profit of $8 per ton cn the average of 350 tons per day or a daily profit around $1,050. NEW ITALIAN CONSUL TO COME TO OTTAWA SHORTLY Count Delfine Rogeri di Villaneva, until recenily counsellor at the Italian embassy at Londcn, England, will arâ€" rive in Ottawa the first week in June to assume the post of Italian consul genâ€" eral here, as successor to Marquis Ferâ€" rants, who leaves shortly to become Italian consul general at Philadelphia. Count Rogeri has been under appointâ€" ment from the Italian government to come to Ot:awa for some months past, but has been detained in London by his work in connection with the fiveâ€"power naval conference, since the close of which he has been holidaying for a month in his native land. Countess Rogeri who is an English lady, and her young daughter, will join Count Rogeri later. Marouis Ferrante has laid the foundation work for the calling of an important conference of Italian busiâ€" ness men and government representaâ€" tives throughout the Dominion to conâ€" sider ways and means of improving Canadianâ€"Italian ‘trade. This imporâ€" tant conference will be held shortly after Count Rogeri‘s arrival. Towassan News:â€"Thomas A. Edison says that the people of this world don‘t know a millionth of 1 per cent. about anything. In that event we might as well knock off and call it a day.
