REPRESENTATIVES IN US. - Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 1930 HOW MONEY CIRCULATES x A» independant afternoon except There is probably no more interesting fea- ture of the Oshawa Prosperity Week than . that of the travelling dollar bill. It is just an ordinary dollar bill, but by having slips of paper attached to it, on which are re- corded its movements, it is possible to keep a record of the number of times it changes " hands from days to day. : On the first day, Saturday, the travelling dollar bill was spent in no less than twenty different stores in the .city between the hours of 9 am. and 5 p.m. This meant that * twenty different merchants sold goods for which the dollar was tendered in payment. . Each of the twenty made a profit on the transaction, part of this profit going to pay the wages of workers in the stores. What is more important still, each 'purchase meant that goods changed hands, were passed over ' the counter, or that services were paid for. This meant that those who produced the s also had a share in that travelling dol- lar, that it helped to pay for raw materials * and labor, all necessary before the finished article could be produced. "The circulation of money is what makes business. Judging from the travels of that single dollar bill, money changes hands rap- idly when the people are in a _mood for _ spending it, and this demonstration of how to 'circulate money should have a stimulat- ing effect on the buying of those who can afford to buy. Thus is the lesson of Pros- perity Week being taught, not for this week only, but as an object lesson to be remem- : bered for all time to come. HELPING THE UNEMPLOYED "Let the employed help the unemployed." This is the slogan which has been enunciat- ed by A. D, Hardie, general secretary of the Federation for Community Service campaign in Toronto. It is a sound principle, one which will have to be expressed in action in Oshawa before the coming winter is over. The idea behind the thought is a proper one. Those who are employed have not felt the gs of hunger and distress. Those who Jans been earning their wages and salaries regularly know nothing of the struggles of the many who have been without work, and who have been forced to appeal for charit- able assistance in order to keep their fam- flies fed and clothed. ; ' "Let the employed help, the unemployed," phould be ©shawa's slogan for the next few months. There are two ways above all oth- ers, in which this can be done. First, those who have not suffered from the depression ean well afford to help those who have by other which must be done at this time of the year, and it would be splendid if a sufficient num obs could be provided to give : a men a few dollars a week the wolf from the door. e employed can help the unem- 'contributing to whatever funds for the amelioration of condi- distress in the Sits ue long, appeal will probably be. ; to the péople who have been em- t the unemployed will look for the them from starving and the coming winter. The em- n help the unemployed if they only will to do it, and it would be.a sad 'reflection on the community spirit of Osh- awa if they failed to accept this pressing responsibility. i : ~ BRITAIN'S. ANSWER ' answer of Great Britain to the pro' Wi of Hon. R. B. Bennett for the 'exten- sion of Empire trade is tot very encouraging 4 £ i 8 2 - g i : 8 ° : Al : g " to their adoption. True, the representative "of the British Ministry expressed the prin- ciple of continuance of Empire preference, but gave no inkling of the mind of the gov- ernment regarding fhe Hefner scheme of raising. tariffs against ts from other countries by ten per cent. over the tariff against British goods. In fact, it is now conceded that the Bennett plan' has little "hope of general acceptance. It is admittedly "a plan which would help Canada, but which would be of little benefit to other countries within th . For instance, if Can- ada has a thirty per cent. tariff against goods which might be exported from Britain to this country, it would do little good to the British manufacturer to have a higher tariff of 83 per cent placed against similar goods from a foreign country. At least, that is how the British government the scheme, and one must agree that that view is sound. { . FT Britain is frank, too, in saying that Can- ada must be prepared to give something defi. nite in return for a British market for her wheat. The British representative was strong on that point, "If we are going to give Canada a larger place in our market," he said, "we. want some benefit in return. What about coal? Could we come to some arrangement with Canada for marketing British coal?" . ) That is a logical viewpoint. Trade bar- gains cannot be one-sided, and Canada can- not expect that the markets of the Empire: are to be opened to her products if she is not willing to open her markets to products of Britain and the other Dominions in return. That may not agree with the policy of Mr. .Bennett, but it is, nevertheless, an economic principle which cannot be overlooked if there is to be any agreement on Empire trade. The suggestions which are made by Great Britain, apart from the proposal that trade agreements be entered into between the component parts of the Empire, deal very largely with the manner of organizing the channels through which that trade shall be directed. They suggest an import board to regulate the flow of imports into. Britain so as to provide for a regular supply of ne- cessities, for the institution of plans for bulk purchase of commodities, and the es- tablishment of the quota system of pur- chases. These are all plans which might be very effective when applied to the prob- lem of distribution of Empire products, whether of the field or the factory, but they are, to a large degree, secondary to the adoption of the principles on which Empire trade is to be founded. There is-a great difference between the plan of Mr. Bennett and the suggestions put forward by the British spokesman. Mr. Bennett is for action, for a direct adoption of a principle of tariffs, with Empire prefer- ences, all round. Mr. Bennett's plan con- siders the interests of Canada in the first place, with preferences to the Empire sup- plied only after the industries of this coun- try have been adequately protected even against Empire products. The British method admits the value of Empire prefer- ences, but dodges the issue of Britain plac- ing a tariff on foreign products in order to encourage Empire trade. Rather does it suggest that by organizing exports and im- 'ports pvithin the Empire, and by reciprocal arrangements between the various parts of the Empire, that trade will be developed to the point desired. From this side of the Atlantic, Mr. Ben- nett's scheme seems the more satisfactory of the two, but itgds not yet apparent how he is going to get around the difficulty that he cannot secure markets within the Empire without making some sacrifices which will appeal to Great Britain, Austrglia, New Zea- land, South Africa, and the other nations concerned. As The Times stated before the conference opened, the only way in which results will be secured will be by way of compromise, when the nations of the Empire are ready and willing to give and take for the benefit of all. So far, that spirit has not manifested itself very clearly at the confer- ence, but it may come to the fore as the dele- gates delve more deeply into the subjects under consideration. THE CONFERENCE AND WHEAT The people of Canada will be glad'to note that the Imperial Economic Conference is giving a lading place in its deliberations to the problem of the marketing of wheat grown within the Empire. This is the prob- lem which most closely touches Canadian prosperity, and it is gratifying to note that a special committee," of which the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Canadian minister of trade and commerce is a member, has been appointed to examine the whole wheat situation. The Economic Conference is thus tack- ling something which is vital to prosperity in Canada. Mr. Stevens has been keenly in- 'terested in widening Canada's markets for wheat and wheat products, and the people of this country can have soge assurance that every effort possible will be made to find a satisfactory solution to the problem.

(2) That as a purchaser of British goods, every Canadian, is equal to 15 mericans. (3) That Canada (and Australia also) is a greater buyer of our manu factures and produce than any for- eign country whatsoever. (4) That in spite of this, Great Britain imports three times as much from the United States as from Can- ada, To put these facts in their proper focys remember that Canada, like every other Dominion, is still only on the threshhold of development, that the population and the value of her matket are destined to an immense expansion, and that everything we buy from her hastens and consoli- dates her growth and her prosperity. With such facts to reinforce the bond of sentiment,. how can this country continue to deal with the Dominions on the same basis as the foreigners? This is a question to which the So- cialists have no answer, It is a ques- tion to which the Liberals have no answer, It is a question to which the Conservatives know the right and Imperial answer, if only they have \he courage to utter it and act upon it, "CARRY ON!" (Buffalo Courier-Express) When the special pulled into the Victoria station in London from Dover, with the victims of the R-101 disaster, it was awaited by the Eng- lish people with the digmity of per- fect silence, the bravery of the dead. There was no outbreak of grief, no hysterical demonstration among the bereaved relatives of the departed; the entire crowd of people instinct with the decent restraint of common' understanding. Thus they presented the traditional picture of English fortitude under fire, There is a lesson for the world in this that should cause it to halt in its emotions over its various mun- dane concerns. There is no greater conceivable trial than this which has burst on the startled conscious- ness of so many English people. Yet they bear and forbear. In their fine patience there is carried to the mind of every thinking individual the in- spiration to equanimity, warm with brotherhood, that enables men and women everywhere to muster faith and glimpse an upward and a for- ward way.

The following resolution was adopted: ; "This meeting of the members of the Indian mercantile bodies of Kar- achi appeals strongly to the country in general and the mercantile com- munity in particular to take up the swadeshi movement with firm deter- mination and urges on them to yse all articles produced 'or manufactur- ed in India unless it is impossible to obtain certain necessary articles of this country. The economic' position of the country demands that every Indian must always insist on buying and using raw as well as. manufac- tured articles produced in India, even at a sacrifice, not only as a patrio- tic duty in the present economic po- litical crisis, but as a settled policy of national protection and well be- jog. This meeting appreciates the patriotic spirit shown by the local foreign piece-goods merchants in re. solving not to import foreign piece- goods for twelve months and urges them to show the same spirit in the future."

Bartea M.D. SORE EYES Perhaps your eyes have been both- ering you and you are at a loss to understand the reason. The "whites" of the eyes become red and "bloodshot" and the lining of the lids much inflamed. There is a smarting, burning and itching sensation in the eyes. There is. a "heavy" feeling about the eyes and symptoms increase in severity if you try to do any reading. The first thought of course is to try and protect the eyes from the light and the dark glasses you see worn 'so frequently give ample evi- dence of how common this condi- tion really is As to the cause? Well if you work where there is much dust there is going to be a con- tinued irritation.' It is interesting to sce how every professional wrestler, immediately after his bout, before he takes his shower, puts two or three drops of a weak silver nitrate solu- tion into each eye. Experience has taught him that any carelessness on his part may mean "sore eyes' for weeks. A very frequent cause is overuse of the eyes, or where the eyes are in need of glasses because of short- sightedness, .astigmation, or other error of refraction. Sometimes it is due to a catarrhal condition of nose and throat, or to an irritant such as the pollen of plants which cause hay fever. However after your, eyes have been tested for refraction, and found to be normal, there is no strain from overuse, there is no hay fever, no infection from teeth or tonsils, you and your physician may be at a loss to understand why your sore eyes persist, What may be the cause? Some disturbance of stomach and intestine, some digestive disturbance? * This may be due to constipation. Many of these cases of sore eyes clear up, when common sense meth- ods of correcting constipation are used, Anything that will stimulate large or lower intestine to contract or squeeze upon the waste matter there and move it along and out of the body should bring results in these cases. So don't Pes the idea that these persistent sore eyes cannot be help- ed. i Simply go over allsthe possible causes and don't forg€t that the in- testine may be a factor in the causa- tion, Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) HERE ARE RULES FOR DIPLOMATS' DRESS Washington.--What the dressed American diplomat woéar at formal functions has been revealed by the U.S, State Depart- ment.

Mr. Lodge, who has served five employers on the same farm, is still hale and 'hearty, and on most evenings when the sun has set he may be seen plodding his'homeward way across the flelds. A welcome always awaits him at home from his daughter. Life has left him a little lonely since his wife died forty years ago. He is little more than five feet n height, but he walks with the erect figure of a guardsman, "Farming is not like it used to be," Lodge said. "I-gtarted work in the days when there were no ma- chines, Every spit of land was honestly turned over by the mus- cles of the laborer and the sweat of the horses. "Ploughing was ploughing in those days, and I'm not sure that the coming of motors has made things better. What pride can a man take in a piece of cold machi- nery? "Why, at ten I left school and went to the farm, and at fifteen I had charge of a pair of plough- horses. The first wage that I took was 25 cents a week, "My horses were always my first love, although when I was twenty I did take a young wife, and brought up two sons and two daughters, "My wife loved the horses too, and often when I set out with them all spick and span to go to a plough. ing march, she would lend me some of her best ribbons and finery to deck them up a bit.

The BANK for SAVINGS make improve- or land. Plan money; and the amount payable was to be decided once every four- teen years in relation to the cur- rent price of wheat, An official at the headquarters of Queen Anne's Bounty explained to me. that hundreds not thousands--of such tithes exist in various parth of the country. "One of the most 'curious is a lead tithe payable in certain parts of Derbyshire," he said. "This was the result of the popular belief that lead, unlike other minerals, was a fungus which grew and was therefore subject to taxation. In the North of Emgland there are many tithes of fish; and I doubt if these rather unusual forms of pay- ment will ever be abolished." The collection of tithes, which amount to over $10,000,000 a year, is for the most part in the hands of Queen Anne's Bounty, and a staff not unlike the Income Tax staff, is permanently employed on the work, Owing to the antiquity of the sys- tem mny anomalies exist; and there is a note of unconscious irony abou the section of the annual repori headed, "First Fruits in Arrear." Recently a case in Cumberland at- tracted, considerable attention, in which a landowner was sued for if | the non-payment of a tithe of four- pence. Of a similar nature is the cen: turies-old fee of a guinea, which is paid anmuajty by the parish of Soutk Mimms, of the borders of Middle sex and Hertfordshire, for the stabl ing of the Achdeacon of Hamp stead's horse, Doc CARY 0 UMBER TW L 74 ATHOL eee oem HAMILTON BY.PRODUCT COKE C.
