But slight as is the mental effort requir- ed in multiplying any number by five, it may be lessened still more by discarding the multiplier entire- ly and substituting a divisor instead, This may sound paradoxical, but by experimenting youn will find that dividing by two will bring the same results as multiplying by fve, pro- viding you add a cipher to the quot- ient if the dividend be an even num- her, or five if it be odd. For in- stance, if you multiply 2,734 by 6 the product is 13,670. What is still easier, divide 2,734 by 2, which is done almost instantaneously. Then tack on your 0, and you have 13,670.

Steel Company Is Now Favored by More Stable Conditions in Merchandising Ready to Enjoy the Work---Ba Day of the F: Full Fruits of the Past Two Years' Constructive Power of the Public Returning to Better Shape-- Dinner Pail Returning, It will he of considerable interest to the shareholders of the L. R, Steel Company, Inc, and all others who have followed the remarkable pro- gress of this great chain store system in the process of its upbullding throughout the Dominion of Canada and the United States to learn that the outlook in a general husiness way (is most promising and that the return of conditions to normal is now ahout as close as it may be ex pected to be for some years to come. The winnings of the wage earners are steadily climbing back to some- thing like the ratio to the cost of living of pre-war times, which ds a position of affairs which cannot he over-estimated in its importance from the point of view of the store- keeper, ,and L, R. Steel is one of the greatest of that class in the country. Settled conditions in the industrial, agricultural and financial world are the ones most to he desired hy mer- chants in view of the fact that steady profits in any business rather than spectacular figures which cannot he maintained for any length of time are better for business and the publie, Better Days Arrive Hardly a day passes but what scores of old industrial furnaces are relighted and the day of the full din- ner pail is close at hand. What this means to the storekeep- er only those in business begin to realize. The spending power of the public - will steadily increase from now on. People who depended for at least part of their income on dividends are going to have more money to spend as time goes on and corporations restore the securities to the dividend paying column. Money distributions of all kinds are improving and while the tenden- cy of wages is to a lower level there is little doubt that there will be a closer ratio of wages to the old cost of living than might seem at first sight probable. It is a psychological fact that people buy more wisely and are thriftier in times of non-spectac- ular earnings than when they are earning at an extraordinary rate when it is a case of "Easy get, Easy BO." The return of better conditions and their relation to the welfare of the masses must have nn important bear- ing on the fortunes of a concern like the L, R. Steel Company. It depends upon the good will and buying ability of the masses, not the classes, If they are prosperous and happy the Steel interests will prosper, Ready in Right Time The company is now rounding out its great chain store scheme at a most propitious moment to secure the best results from the industrial and financial uplift now spreading over the whole country. The ad- vantages it enjoys in handling large quantities and at lower rates than the old line store keeper, which it is enabled to pass along to its cus- tomers, means much at a time like this when the public is keener than ever about getting full value for their money and are inclined to he a little more discriminating. It thus seems inevitable that the L. R. Bteel Company will now hegin to realize to the full extent the work of the past two years which has heen 80 largely devoted to the constructive eide of the company's business. This must inevitably result in a favorable effect on the profit and loss showing of the current year's business which after all is the outcome most desired by the executive as well as by the small army of shareholders who are now watching the progress of the company with keener interest than at any stage of its short history. On Sound Basis Like all other enterprises of the kind which have the proper kind of management the inventories of goods bought during the period when prices were of necessity in a very unsettled state have been written down to correspond with the current prices 80 that it started the current year's business with a better knowledge of how it étood than at any time since the inception of the enterprise. Thus the current year should he an epoch marker in the matter of earnings. It will also be of considerable interest to shareholders to learn that the in- ternational accounting firm of Mar- wick, Mitchell & Co., auditors for the company have recently finished a complete audit from the commence- ment of operations to Dec. 31, 1921, covering the parent company.and eight subsidiaries, and expect now to furnish quarterly audits. bundred.

A mile or so from the mainland is a mighty mass of red sandstone, three hundred feet high rand fifteen hundred feet long, rising out of the sea like a stranded ocean liner stripped of masts and funnels. It gets it name from a huge tunnel, fifty feet high, made by the waves. On the roof of the rock are thousands of sea birds, gulls, cormorants and gannets, whose shrill cries fill the air, Facing Perce Rock is Mt, Ste, Anne, surmounted by a cross as a guide to the mariner, while steep cliff walls protect the two heaches of the little fishing hamlet with their clusters of fisherman's cottages, art- ists haunt the place and many a can- vas is the result, The visitor will find much to hold his interest, among the French- speaking fishing folk of the place-- much that is picturesque and quaint with a hackground of striking scen- ery and mountain paths for the climber, with its tang and tonic, the miles of tide-washed sand heaches and the old fashioned farms bordering the highway.
