But the world‘s stock of monetary gold has increased in that period three and a half per cent. and in practically all of it we have had a comparatively stable price level. That does not seem to point to a scarcity of Commenting on the contention that the United States has too large a perâ€" centage of the world's supply of mone- tary gold, Dr. Kemmerer observed that the United States does a' surprisingly large percentage of the world’s busi- ness. He estimated that the United States produced and consumed some- thing like 40 to 50 per cent. of the world's total amount. “That would en- title us in the ordinary situation to a substantial percentage of the world's gold," he added. Ansonville Man Freed on Charge of “Flint-Flam” “Furthermore. there is certainly no need of the world‘s gold production in- creasing as rapidly as the physical volume of business in order to maintain a stable price level because we are con- tinually effecting important economies in the use of gold. We are developing our banking system; we are extending our checking system; we are develop- ing new central banks; we are using the gold exchange standards: we are having a great rapidity of turnover of deposits; we economize in the use of gold. ' “As we use banks more and more. as other countries resort to the use of checks more and more and as our peo- ple become closer together and we operate more accurately, the same amount of deposits turn over much more rapidly. It seems to me that in this increased efficiency in the use of gold that we are having all over the world. through the development of checks, wiser co-operation of central banks. etc., we have prospects of economies that for a long time to come are likely to protect us against any threatened scarcity of gold.” Financial Expert Thinks There is 1 Evidence World Is Suffering from Lack of Gold. United States Needs Large Share. intern. versus A despatch last week from Hailey- bury saysze“Aocused of the theft of 1,000 dollars from a fellow Russian, John Banach. .whom he was alleged to have fleeced by “flim flam" methods, Paul Martin, of Ansonville, got the benefit of the doubt when he appeared before Judge Hartman here on Tues- day to learn his fate. Judgment in the proceedings had been deferred from the previous day, when the evidence had been heard. “In discharging Martin, His Honour said it had been a dimcult matter for him to decide. He had no doubt that complainant had drawn $1,000 from the bank at the instigation of the ac- cused, he said, but on Banach's own story the last time he had seen the money was when it was placed on a table and a package handed back to. his own keeping. Martin, it was alleged. had been entrusted with the money by Banach after defendant had said he could double the amount by a. certain process. “According to the evidence given be- fore His Honour here on Monday, Paul Martin. a Russian barber from Anson- ville. went to Kirkland Lake on July 14 last to look over the ground there, with a view to setting up in business. In a house on Fourth street he met John Banach, a compatriot. to whom he is said to have represented himself as having lots of money and to have told Banach he could double his (Banach‘s) money for him. “The alleged victim observed the in- terval requested. and when he Opened the bundle. found nothing more sub- stantlal than pieces of paper, with no trace of the bills.

The bride wore a black coat with brown fur trimming. black hat and accessories and carried a lovely bouquet of deep pink carna- tions. She was attended by Mrs. R. D. Hopkins (aged 72) while R. D. Hopkins (aged 75) supported the groom. After the ceremony a wedding dinner was served abthe home of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Hopkins to immediate relatives and friends. A dance was held in the hall in the evening for the younger folks. The elderly couple have for many years been residents of Porquis Junction and have the best wishes of the whole com- munity for a happy married life. On Wednesday afternoon a miscellaneous shower was held at the home of Rev. J. E. and Mrs. Woodall. The afternoon was spent at cards and other entertaine ents after which a dainty lunch was served.

He had put up at the Stevens House. opposite the station. while waiting for the southbound train. About 10.30 in the morning he had told one of the housemaids that he was leaving that day for Toronto, and so when she found his door locked five hours afterwards she called the matter to the attention of the hotel manage- ment, thinking that the man might have been taken ill. The manager of the hotel went to investigate. and on looking through a small side window in the room he noticed the body of the man stretched oat on the bed. The police and doctors were summoned, and it was found that Dickenson's throat had been so badly cut by the safety razor blade that his death had resulted. In the absence from town- of Magistrate E. R. Tucker, Coroner F. G. Evans, of South Porcupine, was called to the scene. After reviewing the case and learning all that could be known of the circumstances. the coroner, decided that a jury inquest was not necessary. The late Wilfred Dicken$on was about 35 years of age, and was a native of Stratford, Ont. The body was ship- ped to Stratford on Friday. Thursday last in his room at the Stev- ens' House, Cochrane. Dickenson‘s throat had been cut with a safety razo: blade and the doctors figured. that he had been dead at least two hours when the body was found. So far as could be learned there was no adequate rea- son known for him to take his life. ex- cept a sudden impulse induced per- haps by temporary ill-health. No'one had noticed anything wrong: with the man previous to his death. The police are ouoted as saying that he had about $300.00 with him at the time of his death, and there was no reason for thinking that he had any financial troubles.

Any person who has spent the years in the bush that the writer has, and who has’seen moose in their full energy, would take such a statement only as a joke. Even the biggest black bear ever trapped or shot in Ontario, with all its strength and quickness, to do any damage to a moose would have to be on his hind legs. In that position. compared with even a one-year-old cow moose. it would be like a seven or eight year old boy boxing against Jack Dempsey. Bull moose are liable to become wrey to ferocious bears on account of weak- ness from hilarious antics and laughs after reading the Metagama articles of bears killing moose in 20 minutes. I: all the residents of the northern bush, who actually know moose and bear habits, could read this Metagama arti- cle, its author, who until lately has been looked upon as a champion of the north country, would be laughed out of it. upon along the line that while the con- troversy should be left to men who actually know whereof they speak, still it may not be out of place to suggest that the letter of the writer may noc be as good a Joke as he considers it to be. The majority of people in this North Land have not been howling with laughter over what Mr. Bates wrote about the bears. The fact is that there is a division of opinion among those in position to know. Some are certain that the bear actually is a menace to the moose. Others are not so sure. When F. M. Wallingford brought the question up before the fish and game committee sent out by the Legislature. he went no further than to mention cases that came nuder his personal notice of bears killing moose calves. He talked only of what he knew himself. Mr. Bates goes further, of course, but the majority of experi- enced men do not treat his ideas as a joke, because they are not so cocksure about things that have not come un- der their own notice. There is a gen- eral Opinion that while the bear isI not quarrelsome nor given to wanton attacks he is about the toughest cusâ€"i tomer among the animals in the bush: of the North. Hungry or cornered he is about as bad medicine as anything in the bush. Even those who question the idea of his killing moose. argue that the reason the bear doesn‘t do so isl because he does not travel fast enough ‘ to catch the moose. F'ew animals. they say. will stop to face an enraged bear. The Ridout gentleman may have his own personal laugh but it is question- able if many more will join in the laughter. The above letter may be commented I l I Undoubtedly in the spring of the year, when the calves are only a few days or weeks old, and the mother leaves them to lie hidden while she forages for food, a bear would have easy pickings. But at the first bleat of pain. if the mother was within hearing distance. Mr. Bear would have such a. fighting fury on him that his hunger would soon be forgotten in flight, and more or less likely with several ribs stove in from the all pow- erful front feet of the moose.
