"BUYING AT HOME. There is a peculiar trait in many People which. 40 the dea that they Can spend makes them incli ¢ iden that th their money to better advantage by shopping away from home than by doing their buying in their e city or town, and by buying imported rather than Canadian produced articles, The Chatham News, in an editorial on this subject, has some interesting ideas to put forward as to why this trait shonld eyist. The News has the following to say: "Buying home products is largely an atti- tude of mind. It is psychological in a wide and important sense. In all countries there is something about a 'home. product' which has an inferior sound in the ears of many of the home piirchagers--often in spite of the fact that ft" may be éven - better, and cheaper than the foreign goods which sup-- plant it on the home market. It is a pecu- liar frame of mind---and one difficult to un- derstand--which makes this true. It is one of the peculiar twists of human nature that cause people to 'work against their own town to suit an unfortunate fallacy." There is no doubt that in the great majority of cases people can do better in their home shops than' " they can away from home. This is becoming re alized more and more. It js dificult to define the impulse which makes people want to go outside with their money, when they earn that money at home. But loyalty is discarded with every purchase made somewhere else. At home, there is personal service and a more reasonable chance of return of goods or an exchange if they are not satisfactory. Nor does cheapness alone recommend itself. In times of war of great national stréss there would be an outburst of patriotism creditable to this country. The same during normal times would ensure far greatér pros- perity and more employment, GONE INTO THE UNKNOWN Young, inexperienced, and with an untried and an- tested machine, two Swiss aviators who left Lisbon . on Monday last in an effort to fly to the United States have disappeared. While there is still a faint hope for their safety, it is almost certain that they have gone the way of so pany other gallant aviators whose courage exceéded their good judgment, and have perished somewhere in mid-Atlantic. This venture was, if anything, more foolhardy than most of those which have ended in failure and trag- edy. Mere youths 'of 21 and 22, with little experi- ence of long-distance flying, they sought, with all their youth and inexperience, to succeed where no other man has yet been successful. Only once has an aeroplane which left any part of the coast of Britain 'or Europe 'made a svoceessful landing on this side of the Atlantic, and that was when the German aeroplane, the Bremen, landed safely gn Greenley Island. But it, too, fell far short of reaching its des- tination, and it was only by the merest chance that its crew reached a place of safety. : Every time an aeroplane, with its gallant crew, starts on 'this long westward flight and fails to reach anywhere, the question is asked as to why these adventures are permitted, It is apparently not so easy, however, to curb the adventurous spirits ot sthose who believe in themselves and in the machines , they are piloting, and one must expect that such sacrifices and tragedies will contiflue so Jong as there are men whose courage and daring are greater than their 'common-sense, THEY SHOULD STAY AWAY Ta. ara The Communists of Toronto have notified Chief Draper that they intend to hold another rally in Queen's Park on Tuesday evening of next week, This notice has beep sent. in. compliance with the law, which says that bodies intending to hold meetings in the parks must notify the authorities. The meeting, of course, will not be held. There may be an attempt to hold one, but, judging from past performances, Chief Draper's men will sce to it that the Communists are not allowed to say a word. Just what will happen, however, before the crowd is dispersed, remains to be seen, and there is every possibility that there will be trouble between the ° police and the Communists such as inspired some of the sensational reports in some Toronto newspapers a week ago. : The people of Toronto scem to be somewhat aroused by the efforts of the Reds to make headway in that city, and many of them will probably seck to crowd into Queen's Park in the' hope of "seeing some fun." They may not be sympathetic to the Communists, but they haye read of the battles of the past few weeks, and are just curious enough to want fo see one, By attending the park in the hope of seeing a clash between the police and the Communists, these people will be seriously hindering the police efforts to curb the Red activities in such a way as to make charges of brutality impossible. Those who are an. xious to see Communism crushed in Toronto, and to help the police, with what is a difficult task, will stay away from Queen's Park.. If the citizens who are not sympathetic to the Communist: cause would stay away, then it would be a comparatively easy matter to deal with the handful of agitators. It is only when they are surrounded by a crowd of thou- sands of sensation-seekers that there is a possibility of real trouble. : EDITORIAL NOTES -------------------- It the farmer could utilize the tons of advice he receives as fertilizer, what a farm there would be, The situation at the Hague suggests that someone might make an international goodwill tour to that city. : Nis: ERA Y The Soviet government is repudiating any debt it owes to China, But in doing so it is only following ifs own precedents. 3 : 3 trie.

BRITAIN'S CASE by (Willmott Lewis, in The New York : World) : An examination of the scores of articles written in since the British Chancellor of the Excequer startled the delegates at The Hague conference on répars- tions shows that criticism has been aroused not so much by what he said as by the way he said it. It is a fair question, neverthe- less, whether the British case would have had more than perfunc- tory attention here or in Europe if he had presented it with less vigor. Mr. Snowden had no new story to tell, The fact that Great Britain already has paid a thous- and million dollars more than she has received should have been common property, some time ago, but for some reason or other if made no impression on the public or the editorial mind. Perhaps the idea that any other country than the United States should actually be "holding the bag" was difficult of absorption, However, the fat is than the operation known as light as well as heat, I should think it might be easier for the people of the United States than for the inhabitants of any other non-British country to understand why Philip Snowden could be described by an English paper as the most popular man in his native land just now. There is nothing the American more heartily enjoys than the aperation known as "telling them where they get off." mr Er -------- - Bits of Humor - | Thompson: "I was pinched yes- terday, for reckless driving, old man."

The more really worth while in- dustries a city has the more in- dustries, workers, investors and families will be attracted there, and it cannot be denied that the backbone of a city is its indus- tries and its working people. The stories of tlie growth of some cities are dramafic stories of busi- ness-like methods in city building; many of them are stories of success achieved in the face of discourage ments and almost jnsurmountable difficulties. What these cities have done others can do if they have the spirit and the courage to do so. The time has arrived when those cities who have been letting opportunities pass should wake up and display more energy in making their advantages known to the outside world. No industry or investor is sceking a location in an "clectric lighted grave yard." They want to locate in a city whose beacon light can be seen afar --a city that is alive, knows it and tells the world about it. Many of the most progressive and fastest growing cities are in that happy condition because they have raised publicity funds, realizing that they must advertise their advantages and opportunitics in the newspapers in order to attract industrics and in- vestors, : A city must use the same me- thods in securing new people and capital to aid in its development as the successful business must do to keep growing, It must have the godds and then adver- tise in the newspapers so all may know what they have and where it is. A city that is not good enough sto advertise its advantages is the city that investors and men secking a lo- cation for industries pass by on their way to the city that docs.

Hoover by Representa~ tive Will R. Wood of Indiana, pro- spective chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Wood has just returned from Panama, a trip which he made partly at the suggestion of tue President. He will soon send to the White House a report on the ob- servations he made in the Canal Zone and the conclusions he has reached, which he believes should be put in the form of bills for. the consideration of Congress, "1 shall recommend to the Presi- dent," said Mr. Wood, "that an- other dam be constructed for the Panama Canal and that steps be taken at once. Water in the canal runs low at certain periods, & con- dition that must be remedied. This can be done "by building a dam as I have indicated, and engineers believe that the work would cost no more than $12,000,000." Mr. Wood will advise the Presi- dent that in his judgment it will not be necessary to widen the ca- nal at this time. Later, be be- lieves, it might be well do some widening, but he is of the opinion that by building another dam the seeming necessity for widening the canal would be obviated. In his report to the President, which was briefly discussed at the conference, Mr. Wood will say that he does not believe that the com- struction of a second canal along the Nicdraguan route should be un- dertaken at present. 'The time will come when Wwe will make use of the Nicaraguan right-of-way which this government owns," said Mr. Wood, "but my in- vestigations convince me that the Panama Canal will answer our pur- poses for a good while. The goOV- ernment, however, must hold on to the Nicaraguan route, for in' time we will have to use it." The first item of expenditure in the Canal Zone, according to tue report to be submitted to the Presi- dent by Mr. Wood, should be for a new building program. New buildings must be provided, Mr. Wood said, for civil employees and for army and navy men on duty there, "I was surprised," said Mr. Wood, "to find that some .of our officers are living in buildings that were constructed by the French when France was in possession the canal strip." It is Mr. Wood's view that the $150,000,000 should be spread over several years but he said he imended to emphasize to the President the importance ot starting work at once on what is most urgent, "The Panama Canal is a sort of trading clearing house for the world," said Mr. Wood. '"'As a peo- ple 'we have opportunities down there which we have not appreciat- ed up to this time. I intend to suggest that we should work to- ward the construction of great warehouses in the Canal Zone, houses from which our products could be quickly distributed to the whole of South America. "After 1 looked the field over down there 1 was surprised that some of our enterprising men had not put up such warehouses. The South. American trade is° a very large prize to be striven for. Time counts for a great deal in reaching out for this trade. We should have in store in warehouses in the Ca- nal Zone everything South Amer- ica might want. By establishing these warehouses we would gain a great advantage over the European countriesgghat are in sharp com- petition th us for this South American trade." Mr. Wood visited Porto Rico as well as Panama, and said that he observed that a large percentage of America is being carried in Bri- tish ships. i DREAD MALADY STRIKES PETERORD Two Cases of Infantile Par- alysis Are Definitely Diagnosed ; Peterboro, Aug. 22--As result of the visit to Peterboro hi a Niagara Falls family. two definite- ly diagnosed cases of infantile par- alysis have developed here, and symptoms in two other cases are regarded as suspicious. a Mrs, W.

H. Macklin, president and general manager of the Manitoba Free Press, yesterday celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his entry in- to the newspaper business, for he joined the staff of The Toronto Globe in 1879, Never connected with any er business, he holds an almost ue position among the newspaper men of the contin- ent, his associates marked the occasion by the unveiling of an ofl portrait of himself yesterday after- noon. The function took place in pres- ence of a number of newspaper friends from all parts of Canada, for, quite apart from his work on the Free Press, Mr. Macklin has been to the fore for many years in the co-operative movements of Canadian newspaper publishers. Thus he is past president of the Canadian Daily Newspapers Asso- ciation, which represents the busi- ness side of pewspaper publication, while his connection with the Co- operative News Association goes back to its beginnings in Winnipeg in 1907, Mr. Macklin being among the founders of the Western Asso- ciated Press, its treasurer until 1913 and its president then until in 1917 it was merged in the Na- tional Association, The Canadian Press, when he became first vice- president. At the annual meeting of The Canadian Press in Vancou- ver in 1924, the office of honorary president was specially created to do honor to Mr. Macklin as a mark of the esteem and affection in which he is held by his fellow members from coast to coast. The portrait is by the well- known 'Toronto artist, C. Wyly Grier, and is the gift of the four Sifton brothers, Hon. W. Victor, Harry A., and Clifford, sons of the late Sir Clifford Sifton and chief proprietors of the Free Press. The presentation was made by John W. Sifton, secretary-treasurer of the Manitoba Free Press Company, who recalled how Mr. Macklin had started on the Toronto Globe ag a mere youth addressing envelopes and in 20 years rose fuom one POsi- tion to another until in 1899 je had become cashier and treasurer, Sir Clifford Sifton had recently be- come owner of the Manitoba Free Press and that year induced Mr. Macklin to go to Winnipeg as treas- urer and business manager where he later became in turn general manager and president of the comn- pany. His close 'association over the past 30 years with John W, Da. foe, editor in chief and vice-presi- dent in the development of this great newspaper property is matter of néwspaper history. Mr. Macklin took occasion in his reply to pay tribute to the late Sir Clifford Sifton, whom he first met in 1899 'when Mr. Sifton, as he then was, asked him to make a survey of the Manitoba Free Press property. "It was not like Sir Clifford," he said, "to parade his connection with or his financial in- terest in the Free Press. His name was never at the masthead of the newspaper, and apart from Mr. Da- foe or myself he never suggested the engagement or dismissal of an employe. Both to Dafoe and to me Sir Clifford has declared that next to his family he was prouder of the Free Press than anything in the world. He extended to the exe- cutives of the Free Press wide ais- cretionary power in the conduct of the paper, but he was always ready nevertheless to place his great mind at their disposal." 'Per. sonal interest," went on Mr. Mack- lin, "eut no ice with him, if such interest ran counter to the editor- ial policy, if-the policy was sound and right he was immovable in backing it up against all infly- ences, however powerful." Does War Really Pav (From the Montreal Star) 'Fifteen years ago yesterday, we went to war. We won the war. What did we get from our vie- tory? Great Britain got. a mumber of "mandates," none of which is yet very promising in the way of profit --some of which are a great and costly bother, notably Irak, Great Britain got an unemploy- ment problem, dangerous social un- rest, a back-breaking war debt. She lost her position as the world's money market and creditor na- tion. She lost much of her prestige as the commercial market and industrial leader of the world. She will be lucky if she collects enough money from her Allies and beaten enemies to pay what she owes the United States, France got a troublesome '""man- date" in Syria, & permanently de- preciated currency and a totally in- adequate reparation for her devas- tated areas. She got a lowered standard of living. She got Alsace- Lorraine, which is already giving her a lot of trouble. She simply cannot pay what she owes, ard has only with great réluctance ac- cepted a considerably reduced ob- ligation. _Russia got revolution, fifteen years of agony, and is only now beginning--possibly--to stabilize her new position. This is the victoricus Triple En- tente. Germany got a shattered Em- pire, a towering debt which is measured noly by her capacity to bay, a destroyed currency, the ruin of most of her previous comfort- able families. She lost all her cost- ly colonies. She lost her merchant marine, Her work-people ure re- duced to economic slavery. East and West, she lost territory. Austria-Hungary - was liter@lly torn in pieces, and even the gur- viving fragments are still bleed- ing, prostrate and nelpless. These are the two Germanic Powers which went so proudly and confidently to war. We have taken no account of the millions dead, of a generation mowed down by machine-guns, of the muitlated, the gassed, the sick and the sorrowing. ; Who would have lost if Sir Ed- ward Grey had succeeded in ar- ranging a conference over the Aus- tro-Serbian quarrel? Serbia would have escaped something like exter- mination. Austria-Hungary would be still in existence, a proud Em- pire with a beautiful capital, The flowing wealth of Germany would have been greatly increased-- no years of hunger, no wrecked in- dustries, no lost territory, Russia would have been steadily progres- sing towards a free democracy. Great Britain and France would have had less territory but more sons, more comfort, a higher stand- ard of living, no war debts, no de- preciated francs, no lost markets or credits. Does war really pay anybody? LEAGUE IS FORMED T0 ABOLISH FRENCH Prominent Orange Officials Are Officers of New Organization Toronto, Aug. 22.--Cecil W. Armstrong and George McCombe, who have been the foremost critics of Premier Ferguson's bilingual school policy at meetings of the Orange County Lodge of Toronto, have been chosen as President and First Vice-President, respectively, of a new organization formed at the Royal York Hotel, to be known as the English: Language School Lieague of Ontario. It was Cecil W Armstrong who insisted that the bilingual question be discussed on the platform of the Twelfth of July celebration here at the Exhibition Grounds, and resulted in 'Premier Ferguson throwing down the gauntlet tothe Orange Order and other Conser- vatives, who openly oppose his bilingual policy, which i& now on trial for five years. The league President has been a stormy figure in Ward 2 Conserva- tive circles, having run 'as an in- dependent against the late Hon. Edmund Bristol and other party- endorsed candidates. During the past two years he has been back in the party fold, but may now be expected to withdraw again and enter Ontario politics as a third- party man, -opposed to Premier Ferguson's bilingual policy. The league has issued a politi- cal platform and gives 13 reasons why the organization was launch- ed. The platform of the league says the first object is to wipe bilingualism ~ out of the public and separate schools of Ontario. It is proposed to demand that the Provincial Legislature at its next session pass an act that will make English the only language to be used as a subject of study or med- ium of instruction or communica- tion in all grades of all the ele- mentary schools of this Province. The platform also says that where political candidates fail to declare themselves satisfactorily on the language question ' the league will nominate and support independent candidates, who Will carry out its platform. test of the spinal fluid of the two vigiting children confirmed his suspicions, with the result that the Armstrong children are mow in the Isolation Hospital, where it i hoped that a supply of serum re ceived here today from the Pro vincial Board of Health will pre |i vent paralysis, The two children of the local family who have been in contact with the visitors are showing signs of illness. : A boy is a 'hero worshipper and | a his dad is the hero as long as he marits if, Rt mi a TE AP MK LO Ie A THR MIS es StoBIE-FORLONG STOCKS BONDS ¢@ GRAIN .
