Take the married farm hand, he gets a straight five pounds a week, with free house, milk and fireâ€" wood. The single farm hand gets two pounds, fifteen shillings a week. The road workers all over the country get five pounds a week. PlumBbers, masons, bricklayers, carpenters, and other mechâ€" anics, get three shillings an hour. The farmer is pretty well off. He is sure of a shilling and three pence to a shillâ€" ing and fciur pence a pound for all his butter fas.. The Labour Government is sure spending all kinds of money. They have cut out about 75 per cent of all level crossings so far. They have the Old Country style with a bridge overâ€" head. ‘They are also spending heavily in public building of all kinds. But when you take the other side, the situâ€" ation does not look so because things are gone up to a terrible price.

This was stressed by Sir Edward Beatty in an address recently to the Old Tugue Snowshoe Club, at The Seigniory Club, in Quebec. ‘"The opportunity for youth in Canada, to my mind," he said, "is to turn away from the older settlements and from the large cities and look to the northâ€"to the new country." Spirit of the Pioneers Needed in Canada Toâ€"day Constables McDougall and Trimble, of the local Provincial Police detachâ€" ment, were passing in their cmuiser when they were stopped by Detective sergeant Cairns who enlisted the aid of Constable McDougall to hunt for Russell‘s gun, which was found and identified by the man. "It was a highly commendable piece of work by Constable Richardsomn, and he has the congratulations of the enâ€" tire force," Chief Shane told The Norâ€" thern News yesterday morning. In speaking of Miss Servais‘ bravery, . Solomon said: ‘"Miss Servais really had nerve when she stood there and argued with Russell while he was pointing a gun at her. She was very calm and nver once became excited." Constable, Girl Commended Both Chief Constable Shane and Mr. Solomon, manager of the Kaplan store. were pleased with the calm efâ€" ficient way Miss Servais and Constable Richardson conducted themselves. Russell was found to have $57.75 in his pockets. the exact amount taken from the store register. The amount was determined after a checkâ€"up was made by the manager and cashier later in the evening. In a written stateâ€" ment Russell said that he robbed the store to pay for an operation which he needed. Constable Richardson was approxiâ€" mately at Lebel <Ave. when he heard shouts of "Stop him, step that man." Seeing Russell turn up Lebel Ave. the officer followed and caught sisht of him again on Kirkland St. When he was within hailing distance he orderâ€" ed him to stop but the thief kept on running. A shot fired in the air by the constable failed to halt Russell, who had in the meantime, gone in between 38 and 40 Kirkland St. to the porch of: a shack at the rear of the lot. Suspect Handcuffed Ordered by the officer to put up his hands, Russell complied and was placâ€" ed under arrest and handcuffed. He was searched for a gun and told Conâ€" stable Richardson he had thrown it away when he was running. A search in the locality was conducted later‘ by Detective Sergeant Cairns and Conâ€" stable McDougall, of the Provincial Police, and the revolver was found. When inspected the gun was found to be empty. Before leaving the store Russtll warned the customers and clerks that he was going to stand cutside for ten minutes in case anyone tried to follow him. He showed signs of nervousness as he nceared the front door and as soon as he reached the sidewalk started running west on Government Road. Constable Richardson and Miss Â¥vonâ€" ne Servais, cashicr at the store, today share honors for bravery as both were instrumental in the capture of the man. Miss Servais argued with him, while he threatened her with a .38 reâ€" volver, and hindered his progress in completing robbery. The officer was on his Government Road beat opâ€" posite the Doheriy Roadhouse Stock Exchange when he sighted the man, gave chase, and captured him when ho attempted to hide in a shack at the rear of 40 Kirkland St. Few People There Russell timed his holdâ€"up when there were few people in the store and was unnoticed until Sam Solomon, heard Miss Servais arguing with him. Then he herded the five customers and four clerks to the back of the store and went to the cash register in the office. Failing to get the drawer open he inâ€" structed Solomon to open it and then scooped up the bills. Still keeping his gun pointed, Russell started to backl out of the office and when the manag~â€". er asked him if he was going to take‘ the siuver, he went back and finished the job. i sient from North Bay, and formerly of Tracadie, N.B., will appear in palice court Thursday morning to answer a charge of armed robbery by the deâ€" partment.

Sir Edward does well to point to the north, There lies a vast territory to be developed; territory that must, and will, be made productive.
