Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, aan FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 A MAN'S INTENTIONS == Whatever a man's problem and handicaps there is a word that describes the one thing he can do and must do, The word is "For- ward," The man who lets nothing stop his steady advance need fear no future obstac- les, His motor is his will and no form can long chain and impoverish that, Success comes sometimes when least expected, It is missed sometimes because of lack of faith in its existence, But he who advances, whose watchword is "forward," is never surprised at prosperity, He welcomes it when it comes for he has long expected it and is prepared to meet its responsibilities, " Success is wholly a matter of mental atti- tude toward success, The half-hearted idea that it may work out never made a success of anything, Success comes from the de- termination at the beginning to be successful and then by being it, It isn't swelled-headed- ness to believe oneself bigger than anything which may stand in the way of success but to believe that is necessary to success, Suc- gess is determined by determination and keeping a-going, "Goethe in his "Life and Character" said "Strictly speaking, everything depends upon a man's intentions." HAPPY DAYS "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive," said Stevenson, Life is .a pursuit, not an occupation, It is something to do, not something to learn, When happiness be- comes an accomplished fact, it ceases to ex- ist. So long as it is a chase, it lives, Doctors agree that there is nothing more ruinous to health than to retire from active work at too early an age, The same law holds good in the business of happiness. To believe that at last the goal is reached, is to miss it altogether, Like the blue bird in Maeteriinck's story, happiness turns black as soon as'it 1s caged. Think of the days of greatest happiness in your life, Were they not the days when you were working and striving for a goal? When you and your partner were facing the world with a modest salary and a grin? . When you had a little apartment, and fur- nished it one room at a time? When you paid off the mortgage on your home, or got the big raise, or launched out into business for yourself? Those were the happy days! Happy not because you had finished some- thing, but because you had started some- thing. And you never have been as contented since, unless you continued the wise process of pursuing happiness, always setting out hopefully for some new objective as soon as you arrived anywhere. THE DAILY MIRACLE Time is the most valuable of all human possessions, It outranks love, for love is not permanent. It abides after friends are gone and wealth has vanished. Time is priceless because it is changeless. Of all other things one must say: This, too, shall pass away. Time is the only thing that never ceases to jous thing in life is the 24 allotted to mankind each changeless possession. And has the wealthier one th is the wealthiest of all. possession of mankind.

Almost everybody has at least one cold a year with consequent discomfiture and loss of work, The economic loss from colds is enormous for it is estimated that more than half of all the time lost through silkness by employes is due to bad colds. Greater impatience with the progress of science has not been shown than that of which the cold-sufferer gives vent between blows and sneezes. The victim of the cold germ cannot understand why science has failed to exterminate this pestilence or to give man an effective weapon against it. A survey by the public health service at Washington has disclosed that colds are ap- parently contagious, that they are most pre- valent in all parts of the country during the same periods of the year and that they are most epidemic in October and January and the least prevalent in June, If this government bureau aids medical science in discovering an infallible preven- tive or cure for colds it will be at least one bureau that will have justified its existence and the expenditure of public funds in its maintenance, EDITORIAL NOTES Don't criticize dresses. Why kick over al- most nothing? Ten year more of life for careful living, The trick"s the price, One business that still operates on a pay- ing basis is the surgeon's. + A man will take a chance on his sins find- ing him out, but he is a little more watch- ful of the neighbors, A lot of men got the knack of putting up an aerial long before they found out how to string a clothesline. This is about the season of the year when we begin to admit that we haven't made good our promise to ourselves (or was it a threat?) to have more money at this season than we had last year. Bit of Verse WEAVING Yes, I'm a weaver, and each day The threads of life I spin, And be the colors what they may, I still must weave them in. With morning light there comes the thought, As I my task begin, My Lord to me new threads has brought And bids me "weave them in." Sometimes He gives me threads of gold To brighten up the day; Then sombre tints, so bleak and cold, That change the gold to gray. And so my shuttle swiftly flies, With threads both gold and gray; And on I toil till daylight dies And fades in night away. 0, when my day of toil is o'er, And I shall cease to spin, He'll open wide my Father's door, And bid me rest within. When safe at home in Heavenly light, How clearly I shall see That every thread--the dark the bright Each one had need to be. THE HOUSE WHERE LOVE ABIDES I turned an ancient poet's book And upon a page: "Stone walls do not a prison make Nor iron bars a cage." Yes, that is true, and something more, .-- You'll ind where'er you roam, > _ +Can never make a home. ~--Henry Van Dyke.

Canada ranks with Great Britain as our best customer, Her imports from us | grew from $738,000,000 in 1926, ito $886,000,000 in 1927 or by nearly $100,000,000, That {8 within five milion of our exports to the United Kingdom. It ex- ceeds by forty million our com- bined exports during 1827 to France Italy, the Netherlands, Bel- glum, Denmark, Sweden, and Rus- sia in Europe. Big U.S, Investing Field Nearly one-quarter of our for- eign loans in 927, or $475,000,000 went to Canada, and three-quar- ters of that amount represents fin- ancing of the growing Canadian industries, It is conservatively reckoned that Canadian issues to be placed here during 1928 will total $360,000,000 more. Until a few years ago Cane ada was best known as an agricultural country. To. day the leading American in- vestors are realizing her une told wealth in water power . and minerals, During the past year there have been mergers of Canada's pulp and paper companies, the substi tution of chain stores for in. dividual shops, flour mill merzers, flour pools, vast hy- dro-electrio developments, and the erection hy the British Empire Steel Corporation of a colossus in steel as a counter. part, in Brit'sh territory, of the United States Steel Cor poration, With the influx of American capital, especially since 1925, Can ada has constructed the means of future production that should bring her prosperity for years to come, Scientific management, high wages, low unit costs, and rapid turnover of capital have lowered her price level and in- creased real. wages, More than 500,000 employes, about one- fourth of the people of Canada gainfully occupied, are now work: ing in factories, the products of which in 1927 amounted to four billion dollars. Big Water Power Developments The mineral output of Canada last year totaled $250,000,000. On- tario plens additions to the gix- teen producing gold mines that contributed thirty millions of new gold last year. Her hydroelectric development represents an invest- yment of mearly a billion dollars. In the Flin Flon area of Northern Manitoba, American interests plan an expenditure of thirty millions more for water power and the building of two large smelters, while the Government projects a branch line from the acmp to the Hudson Bay Railway. In the Rouyn district the Nor- anda smelter has just opened, and there a mew branch of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway will ald ex- ploratory work near the four new proved mines for copper, The Gatineau River development of the Canadian International Paper Company and Gatineau Power Company is completing {its first stage. Intensive development of power and wood resources along the Gatineau River rank this pro- gram among the largest in the world, under the control of the newly-organized Canadian Hydro- electric Corporation. Other Wealth Mounting Canada 1s likewise {increasing her agricultural wealth, Farm production amounting to $1,700,- 000,000 during 1927, was accom- panied by the second largest wheat crop. Montreal, handling about 400,000,000 bushels during the navigation season, claims first position among the grain ports of the world; her building and "sky- scraper' boom promises new work during this year valued above $600,000,000, The Dominion Bu- reau of Statistics classes Canada's tourist trade, $60,000,000 last fear, as a major industry, This is nartly produced by highway im- provements amounting to hun- dreds of millions, and the spread of modern hotels throughout Can- ada, All told, it 1s a growth that ri- vals that of the American Great West during the seventies, Alonr~ with it Canada has demanded, and received, assurance of her politi rm STABILITY, PROSPERITY cal equality with Britain, Her | economic prosperity, her stable !

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR (Hamilton Spectator) Over in Russia, children are now forbidden to play with dolls. Can't you just hear mother say- ing: "Come now, dears, it's time for bed. Pick up the bombs and pistols like good children!" BETTER LUCK THIS YEAR (Buffalo Courier Express) Capt. Goerge H. Wilkins, Aus- tralian airman and explorer, has again sailed for Alaska, whence he intends to set out early mext summer from Point Barrow on the Arctic coast, on another flight of exploration over the Arctic ocean. If persistency means anything, Capt. Wilkins seems bound to win fn his venture soomer or later. Im previous attempts to fly over the Arctic in search of land which he believes evists in the region of the far seems to have left hinr quite undaunted. Apparently he is as determined as ever to learn what the Arctic wastes hold. We wish him better luck this year. He de- serves it, SAFETY ON RAILROADS (From the Buffalo Courier Ex- Press) Another instance of the ~con- stant effort of railroad executives to make railroad transportation safer is found in the Chicago & Northwestern railroad's announce- prent that automatic train control will be installed by May 1 between Chicago and Omaha. Through safety campaigns among employees as well as by in- creasing use of automatic safety devices, the railroads steadily have been decreasing the risk of accidents. At the same time, they have become more efficient in the handling both of passenger and freight traffic. To do all this has cost and fs costing a great deal of money. The Chicago & North- western, it is reported, is spend- ing $3,000,000 for automatic train control on the Chicago-Oma- ba division. Of course, it is good business, if you wish to comsider it from that viewpoint alone, for the rail- roads to eliminate the risk of ac- cidents so far as humanly is pos- sible. Mention was made of the cost of such improvements be- cause it seems well to keep im mind what the railroads are do- ing in order that they may better serve the public and themselves. By so doing we may avoid the mis- take of placing too great burdens upon the railroads. There are 128,000 miles of railroad lines in the country amd im 1827, accord- farmers object but not those who expect to figure in the Ontario tobacco Brantford Expositor. v $500 in two years " $1000 in three " $5000 in five " " "" 6" " " $100 in one year by depositing $ 4.09 twice a month 10.02 twice a month 13,09 twice a month 37.68 twice a month -- Our substantial rate of interest, 4% on deposits, will add considerable impetus to the earning OSHAWA BRANCH OFFICE: 23 SIMCOE ST.
