There is no doubt about itâ€"public preference is swinging to Eights, and De Soto is making the luxury of eightâ€"cylinder motoring economical. The low price of the new De Soto Straight Eight is in itself sensational, but it is the fine quality of the car together with the price that makes it so popular. Quality fairly gleams in the beauty of the car; reveals its presence by the luxury and nicety of all appointâ€" ments; is clearly evident in both engineering and careful craftsmanship. And it shows itself even more forcibly in power range, in speed, pickup and smoothâ€" nessâ€"in a performance thoroughly superior to that of many higherâ€"priced eights. It is the combination of this quality, this performance and this low price that makes the new De Soto Straight Eight so phenomenal in value.

That shows the hold which "Soccer"‘ has on our people.

Mining Towns Getâ€" ling Back to Prosperity Scores of people going down soutn this summer for their vacation remarkâ€" ed on their return to Timmins on the fact that business and general condiâ€" tions were better in Timmins and other Northern towns than down below. "Well, I found that business was very bad down below," was a typical stateâ€" ment by business men and others, who were inclined to add that Timmins was still the best town they knew. Of course, conditions here are not so good as they were; the town has suffered from unemployment, and there is still unemployment to overcome; but conâ€" ditions here are probably much better than elsewhere. This does not mean on any account that people in other places should think that they should flock to the North. That would be a | serious mistake for all concerned. It is likely that measures will have to be adopted to give ypwreference in unemâ€" ployment to old residents of the camp, and the people have shown already that they are ready to prefer those who have conducted business here for years and given good service to the public. The fact is that the whole country has been facing hard times and Tigimins and other northern towns have not escaped. It may be well, however, for all here to realize that they have been better off than lots of other places and that the North Land has more than held its own‘ under the general ‘depression. So far as Timmins is conâ€" comnmed there is not much extra work expected in this immediate district for | the coming winter, so there will be conâ€" | siderable planning necessary to care for | the employment of all in the camp alâ€" ready. The coming winter will present its own problems for the North Land, but it is hoped that matters will turn out as well in the coming season aASs they have done in the past year or SO in comparison to other places. In making reference to general conâ€" ditions throughout Canada and conâ€" trasting these conditions with the sitâ€" uation in the mining camps The Northâ€" ern Miner last week saysâ€" "During this period, when many of the industrial areas of Canada are slack and unemployment is large, it is stimâ€" ulating to pay visit to the minirs camps. Especially are the gold mining towns of Northern Ontario flourishing. The population of Kirkland Lake has doubled in two or three years, and is now approaching 8,000 people. A great deal of house building is proceeding. More men are bringing in their famiâ€" lies, and the people of the district beâ€" lieve the population will reach 10,000 in the Township of Teck next year. "Timmins, which was sunk in slough of despondency following the cutting down of Hollinger tonnage two and a half years ago, has regained ail of its buoyancy, and a decidedly optimâ€" istic sentiment rules. "At Sudbury there has been recession in business, due to the comrletion 0 International â€" Nickel‘s _ construction work, and the marching away of an army of 5,000 men who were employed on that work. As the townspeople knew that the building up process meant a high temporary influx of workâ€" ers. they did not overbuild themselves, and are now enjoying the full benefit of the largest permanent empioyment the district has ever seen. Sudbury, recently grown to city status, looks forâ€" ward to continued expansion as proâ€" duction of its metals increases. The establishing of new plants connected with metal operations, such as Ontario Refiners and Canadian Industries, have contributed to the size and stability of the city. "Even Cobalt, which one might exâ€" puect to see quiet of the lowest silver price in the camp‘s history, is as busy as ever. _ Its work and activity as a distributing point for mining equipment and services has expanded along with the industry. "Government figures for the first; half of 1930 show that employment in Canadian metal mining stood at 147.7, as against 1324 during the same period in 1929. The enlargement of production by the gold mines is thel chief element in this advance of the | index number. General mining during the half year ended June, 1930, stood at 116.8, as against 116.3 in the first six months of 1929, and metal mmmgx took up the slack caused by the fallmg, off in coal mining and other als. There has been an increase in employment in Northern â€" Manitoba mining fields, in important parts of British Columbia, as well as in Northâ€" ern Ontario. And in Quebec, the‘ growth of the town of Noranda this' summer has been remarkable. In this. Qusbec mining centre a large number| c* new buildings are being erected‘ most of them of a p>rmanent looking character, and the place is taking on an imposing aspect. "The prosperous condition of the gol@ mining industry, with its larger workâ€" ing crews, naturally finds reflection in the business life of the towns, and must greatly stimulate wholesalers of Torâ€" onto and other cities at a time when business derived from most communâ€" ities is on the light side. It should be pointed out and strongly emphasized, hnowever, that these northern mining towns are well equipped with merchâ€" ants and other business men. Atâ€" tracted by stories of great mining deâ€" velopments, a large number of business men have tried recently to establish themselves, some successfully, in these communities. It took some time for a large proportion of them to be conâ€" vinced that the earlier establishec merchants, through their knowledge of Highlights on the New Bennett Govt. Budget Following is a summary of the prinâ€" cipal changes brought about by the new Bennet tariff proposals: Oone hundred and seventy items reâ€" pealed; 134 new items enacted. _ All effective now. Substantial increases announced in customs duties on iron and steel, texâ€" tiles, boots and shoes, farm implements and paper. General tariff on agricultural impleâ€" ments raised from 10 to 25 per cent., to curtail imports from United States and foster Canadian industry. Duties on textiles, clothing, carpets, rugs and the like substantially increasâ€" ed both against Great Britain and United States In one instance the general tariff is raised from 374 to 50 per cent. This is on item 567A, covâ€" ering clothing, wearing armparel and other articles of which the chief comâ€" ponent is artificial silk, Japan, Czeâ€" choslovakia and United States espeâ€" cially affected. Paper duties are jacked up, while drawback on paper used in magazines is struck out. Duty on hops is increased by 300 per cent., from 4, 6 and 7 cents per pound under the British preferential, interâ€" mediate and general tariffs, respectiveâ€" ly, to 12, 20. and 24 cents per pound. All dumping duty provisions are brought into conformity with the Ryckâ€" man act now before Parliament to stop dumping of goods in Canada at slaughtered prices. This is aimed parâ€" ticularly at American goods which are foisted upon the Canadian market at distress prices. Customs tariffs are aimed to prohibit importation of goods from any country not a contracting puarty to the Treaty of Versailles. This is to exclude Rusâ€" sian anthracite, shipments of which have been coming into Canada during the past year. Countervailing duties against United States: imposed by the Dunning Budget are repealed and special duties are imâ€" posed against the commodities and aniâ€" mals which are covered by the counâ€" tervailings. These include horses, livâ€" ing animals such as cattle, sheep and lambs, live hogs, fresh meats, preparâ€" ed or preserved meats; eggs, butter, peanut butter, hops, oats, oatmeal and rolled oats, rye, wheat flour and semoâ€" lina, cut flowers, plotatoes, soups. Duty is increased on gasoline, petroâ€" leum, etc., from British Empire counâ€" tries from 1% to 2 cents per gallon but it remains unchanged from other counâ€" tries. This is aimed at one British company which has no refinery in Caâ€" nada. Other companies have underâ€" taken" not to increase price to consumâ€" ers. Duties on common window glass subâ€" stantially increased. This affects $1,â€" 000,000 annual imports from Belgium. Provision is made for a duty on tracâ€" tors to foster Canadian industry. VARIED SERVICES AT ONE COBALT CHURCH RECENTLY ppe Services held in St. James‘ Anglican church at Cobalt on a recent Sunday were remarkable for the variety they showed. They were unique in that unitedly, they encompassed a number of phases of life. Sunday had been set aside as the annual harvest thanksgivâ€" ing, and appropriate music and adâ€" dresses had been provided for this 6câ€" casion, while the building had beenl beautifully decorated. In the afterâ€". noon of that day, a funeral was held from the church, Percy H. Findlay beâ€" ing buried from St. James, and on Monday afternoon, with the arrangeâ€" ments of flowers and fruits still in place, a wedding: was solemnized. The principals in this ceremony were Miss Ruth Collins, formerly a Sunday school teacher at the church, and Mr. Roy Bilborough, of Kirkland Lake. In beâ€" tween, on Sunday evening, the women of the Rebekah Assembly attended ‘church in their annual parade to divine service, and in the afternoon of the same day, the children of the congreâ€" gation had been present at a special service on their own behalf and relatâ€" ling to the harvest festival. The anâ€" them, "Ye shall dwell in the land," by !Sir Robert Stainer, was rendered by ‘the choir at the regular services, Miss \ Helen Coon and George Bullen taking the solo parts .and the choir boys ‘ rendered a special hymn, solos being ’rendered by Bert Kennard and Bobby !Johnsbon. local conditions and requirements, NaC first call uptn customers, and even now, with some semblance of sound comâ€" mercial conditions beginning to emerge at Timmins and Kirkland Lake, any business man thinking of locating in the north should think twice and inâ€" vestigate carefully before making a deâ€" finite step. And as for the new towns of Flin Flon and Sherridon, the difâ€" ficuity has been to keep more storekespâ€" ers from focking in than there are resâ€" idents."

NEW STATION AT TOMIKO TO REPLACE ONE BURNED The T. N. O. Railway Commission has decided to replace the station at Tomika, destroyed by fire on Sunday, Sept. 7 by a new and more commodâ€" ious structure, W. H. Maund, seâ€" cretaryâ€"treasurer announced last week The building will be of frame and will include living quarters for the agent, ticket, express, baggage, and freight and waiting room accommodation. Construction work will be under way as quickly as possible. Tomiko is a waterâ€" ing point for north and south bound trains and is also the shipping point for extensive lumbering operations. CANADIAN NATIONAL FIRST RAILWAY TO TAKE UP RADIO Production of radio sets and parts increased 65 per cent. in Canada during 1929 as compared with the previous years with a total value of $20,966,137. Canada also imported from the Unitâ€" ed States sets and parts to the value of $10,784,156. The popularity of radio in Canada increases yearly. The largest chain is operated by Canadian National Railways with 16 stations operating on a coastâ€"toâ€"coast hookâ€"up. The same company also operates receiving sets on all its principal trains and was the first railroad in the world to introduce radio reception as a feature of railroad traâ€" vel. A number of other railroads have since followed its example. KIRKLAND LAKE MAN FINDS HE TOOK CHICKENS BY ERROR A Kirkland Lake man made a bad mistake recently in attempting to seâ€" cure a case of beer to carry on a party. He told in police court when he was charged with the theft of the chickens that he had paid $8.00 to a certain man for some beer and later he picked up what he thought to be the beer, but later turned out to be a crate of chickens. While he was carrying off the box the owner come along and grabbed him, holding him until the police arrived. The accused in his deâ€" fence said that in the evening he and some friends had been drinking at his home when the supply was exhausted and he went over to the house of a man he knew and arranged for the purchase of a case of beer, the payment for same to be made the next day. He was caught carrying off what he said police found to be a crate of chickens. He was fined $20.00 and costs, the total amount running over $40.00. The magistrate told him that the story was one of the most original the court had heard in some timeâ€"which is going some.
