TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1931 The Spirit of Empire The visit of Earl Jellicoe, Admiral of the Fleet, and the British Service Legion dele- gates to the Empire conference which clos- ed in Toronto on Saturday, has given to the people of Canada a new conception of Empire. It has been an inspiration to those who came in contact with these distinguish- 'ed gentlemen to listen to their expositions 'of the worth of the British Empire as a force for world betterment, and to sit at their feet and absorb some of their optim- ism for the future part which the Empire must play in the world. ¢ The people of Canada have, in any case, a high appreciation of the ideals which have bound together the component parts of the Empire, but to hear the men from India, South Africa, Australia, Ceylon, Sierra Leone, as well as from the motherland and 'the Irish Free State and other places, give their conception of the all-embracing power of the spirit of Empire gave one a new vi- gion of what it all means. One was given a practical demonstration' of the truth of the old saying that the sun never sets on the Union Jack. ~ One was impressed, too, with the inten- sity of their desire to promote greater trade within the Empire. It was apparent, as they discussed the resources and products of their own countries, that within the Em- "pire can be found products to meet every human requirement and need. The Empire as a whole, might 'well be a complete self- contained unit, able to supply to its com- ponent parts everything required to sustain human life and provide human comfort, without buying one dollar's worth of goods from foreign countries. That might, per- haps be a selfish ideal, yet it provides food for thought, since it could be possible, by intensive development of trade within the Empire, to promote the prosperity of all the countries contained in it. Love of motherland, love of Empire, was deeply rooted in the minds of these gallant gentlemen who came from the far corners of the earth to gather in Toronto last week. , They came because of their devotion to the cause of Empire and those who had served it. They came with a serious purpose, that of pressing forward towards a definite goal, _and that goal the development of the Em- mpire-28 a social and economic unit, compos- "ed of free British peoples, centring their houghts on the part which the Empire forme play in bringing the whole world out vof the slough of despond and sending it for- ward once again along paths of prosperity. The biennial conference of the British Em- pire Service League will go down in history as a notable gathering in the history of Canada, for it has brought together men who have served the Empire valiantly in time of war and who are now, in times of peace, striving to serve just as faithfully and- well. Oshawa Did Well The last two weeks have seen great events in the history of the Canadian Le- gion of the British Empire Service League, for in that time there have been held the provincial convention at Oshawa, the Do- minion convention at Niagara Falls, and the British Empire Service League conference at Toronto. The people of Oshawaycan find much satisfaction in the fact that of all these gatherings, that at Oshawa was out- standing as a model for organization, en- tertainment and success. This was the con- census of opinion of scores who attended all these functions, and the name of Osh- awa has been carried from one side of Can- _ ada to the other, and across the ocean to _ other~parts of the Empire as well, as the 5 ) where the most suceessful gathering every held in Legion history was staged. It is interesting to note that Earl Jelli- coe and the British Empire Service League delegates look to the day they spent in Osh- awa as the greatest day of their whole visit . to Canada, and to Oshawa as the city which produced the greatest enthusiasm, the most generous hospitality, and the most brilliant functions. This is a record worth having, and those who in any way contributed to ~ this end can take pleasure in the fact that ° they have given the city a tremendous amount of very valuable and favorable pub- licity which is to the city's credit. Oshawa did well, and this fact, known as it is across Canada, will help to make .the city better known as a desirable place in which to stage conventions and other gatherings which re- quire local organization on a large scale. _ A Story With a Moral There has come to the editor's desk a tiny booklet with just fourteen lines in if, but they tell a little story more than worth reading in these days when the depression ery is proclaimed from the housetops. The story reads: . "A naturalist divided an aquarium with a clear glass partition. He put a lusty bass in one section and minnows in the other. The bass would strike every time a minnow would approach the glass partition. After three days of fruitless lunging, which netted him only bruises, he ceased his efforts and subsisted on the food drepped into the bowl. ...Then the naturalist _removed the glass partition. The minnows swam all around the bass, but he did not strike at a single one. He was thoroughly sold on the idea that busi- ness was bad. ' The moral of this story is: "Take another shot at the glass partition." A great American said the other day that what business must do was to "shed the psychology of fear." Fear, he went on to say, produced the most extraordinary op- tical illusions, caused men to see things and to imagine things which had no actual ¢x- istence. If in times like these most of us could get away from that fear, make up our minds that things aren't really as bad as they seem, and 'take another shot at the glass partition," the results might surprise us: Just sitting down and , deciding that business is bad is one of the things that helps to create bad business. Editorial Notes The Oshawa Red Cross Society is far be- hind in its finances for the Red Cross Cot- tage work this year. Many generous con- tributions are still needed to balance the ac- counts for this worthwhile work. Half a million Canadians are without work. To deal with this situation is a task which demands the concentration of the best brains of the country, irrespective of political affiliation, The Canadian Legion is to be congratu- lated on refusing to accept a gift of $57,- 000 because the money was derived from the operation of sweepstakes. Any organ- ization which can make a stand like that for law and order is worthy of the respect of the public. The manner in which Earl Jellicoe has carried out his official program, in spite of his daughter's serious illness, set a splen- did example to others in sacrifice and ser- vice. . Kiwanis Camp is now more than a mere camp for underprivileged boys. The use which has been made of it this summer stamps it as a splendid community asset. | Other Editor's Comments DELAYED CENSUS FIGURES (Brockville Recorder and Times) A second "preliminary announcement of popula- tion" has been issued by the Dominion Statistician listing the populations of various communities, throughout the Dominion, Ontario included. But it, like the opening announcement, fails to make any mention of Brockville, What is the reason for this? Did the local en- umerators do their work so badly that revision and correction of their returns has become a necessity before any estimate of the town's population can be made public? Or is it simply that other commun- itics are receiving prior 'atttention at the hands of the Census Bureau? Perhaps three score Ontario communities have now received returns from the census. Included among them are various centres along the upper St. Lawrence, But Brockville is absent from the list. The population figures are being eagerly awaited here. "Perhaps the Census Bureau will soon have them available.

The door of the cab was hardly closed before the engine started with a ter- rific jerk, and the cab began to race madly along, narrowly missing lamp posts, street cars, other autos, policemen, and etc. Becoming frightened, the wo- man remonstrated with the driver, The Woman--*"Please be careful. first time I ever rode in a taxi." _ The Driver (in reassuring tones)--"That's all right, ma'am.

Tuck, Opt, D, (Copyright, 1928) YOUR CHILD AND THE EYES Part 32 Myopia commonly called short sightedness is generally caused through the improper use of the eyes in earl life and during school life. An undue amount of close work and reading when the eye tissues are in their formative stages is the most common cause. The desire for and the habit or reading in these cases is very easi. ly indulged in and appreciated because unlike the conditions of far-sightedness, Myopia is very seldom accompanied by head- aches. A Myople condition, accompani_ ed by headaches, is generally found to have some other error combined with the Myopie condi- tion. Many cases of headaches, encountered in later life, have been developed and fixed by eye- strain at this period. More directly connected with the eyestrain of Myopia is a form of aching of the eyeball, generally found when the Myopia is devel- oping, Certain rms of muscles trouble are common to be com- bined with this trouble and a headache due to muscle trouble may exist, A history of these symptoms is of value in diagnosis, (To be continued) EX ED, WAITER Q - THAT products that sell the best are the ones that are advertised the best, The prime feautre behind well advertised products is quality quality that means dependability, which in turn. means satisfaction, Satisfaction with quality means success to those concerns who have built their business on qual. ity, well advertised. Wise buyers always profit by the | experience of those who have se- lected and used well advertised lines. The sale of well advertised lines has been growing steadily because of the high quality of the prod- } ucts themselves and the satisfac- tion they give. Advertising through the printed page is rapidly increasing in pop- ularity everywhere because it has been thoroughly tested and found to be the only sure way of increas- ing business. Kverything possible should be done to encourage its further use. There is nothing more instructive and nothing more helpful te buy- er and seller than the continuous, truthful advertising of quality. WELL ADVERTISED QUALITY PRODUCTS COST NO MORE THAN THOSE OF UNKNOWN QUALITY. FOR THAT REASON THEY ARE THE BEST,.TO BUY OR SELL, . THE SELLING OF WELL AD- VERTISED PRODUCTS MEANS QUICKER, EASIER AND LARG- ER SALES. THE CONSUMER KNOWS THAT THE BUYING OF ADVERTISED PRODUCTS MEANS BUYING SATISFACTION AT A REASON. ABLE PRICE, Exhibitors of Movies Protest Against Stars' High Salaries New York.--Bluntly declaring that 'no talent or ability" is worth $20,000 a week, the salary paid to Constance Bennett, rep- resentatives of 14,000 motion picture exhibitors met yesterday at the Astor Hotel to launch their campaign to - "'deflate" Holly- wood. Such action is needed, they de- clared, "in order to save the motion picture industry." The industry, they said, is facing the greatest crisis in the 30 years of its existence. David Barrist, Philadelphia theatre owner and a leader in the movement, centered his attack on the 'star system" in force in Hollywood, In criticizing Warner Brothers for paying $30,000 weekly to Miss Bennett, he called attention to the fact that the com- pany is unable to pay dividends. The meeting was called to pro- test against a 10 per cent. price increase by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and was attended by representa- tives from eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Dela- ware. Barrist urged that sll theatre owners use their screens to carry the new message to the public-- that the public be informed that it is paying the bill for "the most colossal orgy of extravagance known to peacetime industry." Barrist also protested against the quality of pictures being pro- duced, against gangster pictures and over-emphasis of sex, and called upon stars to cease "blud- geoning'"' producers into paying larger salaries. LEGUME YIELDS MADE TO-PAY Agricultural Experiments Prove Fertilizers Are Valuable (By The Canadian Press) Edmonton, Alta, -- Proper rota- tion and use of commercial ferti- lizers may double the yields of swet clover, alsike, Canada peas and other legumes in Alberta, according to Dr. F. A Wyatt, professor of soils at the University of Alberta, He has experimenfed with different ferti- lizers for several seasons and pre- dicts that Alberta grey-sail belts can produce seeds of these legumes to the value of several times the cost of-the land. He said that the fertilizers used in his experiments cost about $2.25 an acre, producing practically double yields. His operations took place on a farm near Breton, Alta. far- mers being struck by the stands in his tests contrasted with plots near- by which showed only half the crop. Farmers of years of experi- ence had doubted the feasibility of growing legumes in the grey-soil belts. Big yields, he said, were obtained by the application of nitrogen, as much as 11.2 tons more of dry sweet clover hay per acre being cut. Even local lime or marl from beds within ten miles had produced very excel- lent results, he said. "By the appli- cation of fertilizers on these grey soils of the wooded areas of Al- berta, alsike clover, red clover, Can- ada field peas, sweet clover and al- falfa may be quite successfully grown," Dr. Wyatt declared. f | i itl K-3 New Customers Old Bank Esrasusten in 1817, 50 years before Confederation, the Bank of Montreal gave Canada its first permanent bank and laid the founda- tions of the Canadian banking system.

"That is less than the price of many radios or any piano, As to its vaule, noise costs humanity more than fires." Mr. Maxim made his announce- ment in the offices of the Camp- bell Casement Window Corpora- tion, in this city. The room in which he sat was equipped with his invention. No sound from the outerworld rgached Mr. Maxim or his listeners as he talked. The room in which they sat was cool and the air fresh, although the windows were closed.

The quantity was a record and the relatively high prices obtained were enhanced by the rate of ex- change for the transfer of money to Australia. More than 3,500,000 bushels of apples and pears were export- ed, practically all going to Great Pritain and the Continent. Despite the long journey across the world, the fruit carried well due to good selection, expert re- frigeration and the development by Australian orcharists of good carrying types of fruit. Endeavors are being made to cultivate the Canadian market, particularly for oranges. The cost of staging the Cana- dian National Exhibition annual- ly is $1,225,000. of the windows served to cut off the clamor from the outside, to ventilate the ronm and help to keep it clealf in Your NN J | - Boy be Forced 10 Stop School?
