The one and only question that arises is, "Will this money be accept- able to those from 'whom I wish to purchase goods and pay my bills?" There is not one scientific reason for employing gold as a basis for currency at the present time. The credit of a nation is the real basis of a safe sound currency. This eredit comprises on and labour and raw material and natural wealth ; its mines, its soil, and even the skill and genius of its people, and es- pecially their.moral qualities, The credit of Great Britain does not rest upon the con- tents of its banks' vaults. It is based on its wealth production and the services of its people. Can anything be more ludicrous than the spectacle of a nation reducing its mines, fields and farms, for the purpose of restoring its credit! Editorial Notes Will Oshawa go over the top tonight?

Great Britain is showing all the Domin- ions the way to real Empire preference. Wheat prices are now showing more or- derly increases, and they are likely to con- tinue. The Dominion government should have little difficulty in placing its $150,000,000 national loan.

Mc INTYRE HOOD The town of Japusigsing tells 'a story, 8 story sufficiently dram- atic to give inspiratfon to anyone who knows its past history and sees it to-day. Twelve years ago it was an {isolated settlement away off in the wilds, with noth- ing but thick woods of Spruce right up to the raflway right'of- way, and with a group of valiant war veterans, living in a bunk- house to the south of the tracks, striving to clear enou, of the trees off the land to enable them to grow sufficient crops to feed a few horses and cattle. Theirs wag a bitter task, and failure | I stared them in the face, time and again, sb much so, that when the Drury government sent & commis sion north to Investigate, it looks as if the whole settlement would be abandoned. But a number of these courageous men stuck to their guns, and to-day, they are reaping the benefits of their plo- neer struggles. An Amazing Community To-day, the town of Kapuska- sing is the most amazing com- munity in Northern Ontarfo. We got off the train there and asked the taxi-driver to take us to a hotel, We expected to be landed at the door a ramshackle frame building, with a lean-to- veranda outside, such as we had seen in other outpost towns in the north, Judge our amazement when we were landed at the door of a magnificent large brick ed!- fice, containing one hundred rooms, and with furnishings and accommodation inside luxurfous enough to compare with those of the Royal York. That was the first great surprise, and it stuck with us all the time we were In the town, Following on that first sur- prise came others. Alongside the sumptuous hotel was another large brick building,--the Com« mupity Club, and behind it a magnificent brick hospital, In front was a beautiful park, which banked the Kapuskasing River, and alongside, running the whole length of the town, a splendid driveway skirting the river bank. Across the river one could see a modern skating rink of large dimensions, built, incidentally, by the W. J. Trick Company of Osh- awa at a cost of some $60,000, Trim-Looking Town The town itself is laid out In a circular plan, with frame cot- tages making up most of it. The original settlers, after they hu passed the first stage of bunk house living, laid out their tow around a playground which the! established in the centre. Th stores and houses were built in » elrcle around this playground and from this circle it has spread outwards, with all its streets con verging on the one central point It is a trim-looking town, of some ants, with excellent stores, even in Oshawa, The Secret of It All three words, "ower and paper." Kapuskasing is the homa of the Spruce Falls Power and tures huge quantities of sulphide, and employs 750 men in the mill and an additional 1000 men out in the bush cutting lumber to feed its rolls; Out at Smoky Falls, sixty miles to the north, the com- pany has a power development with a capacity of 85,000 horse- power, with which it supplies the mill, and also provides the town with its electric power for domes- tie and commercial purposes. We do not propose to go intb details on the operations of the mill it- self, but to one who was viewing the maunfacture bf newsprint for the first time, the whole was fas- cinating, and showed that the age of what seemed like miracles was not yét past, even though they were miracles of science and mechanics.' Rising in the midst of what was intended to be an agricultur- al community, this glant paper mill has made the town what it is to-day. The company owns and 'operates the hotel, which was built to provide comfortable and home-like quarters for its execu- tives and office staff in that north ern wilderness of a few years «go, It was good business, company figured to have quarters of ti type for its officers, so that they would be happy and con , and go that it would not be troubled by frequent staff changes, which might have occurred had there been no other accommodation than that offered by the ploneer cottages, = The same, pol. ey Jnduced the ny to build the magnificent m- munity Club building, at a cost of $300,000, 'to erect the splen- did , to build a skating to, provide an known 'the staff h er. bo Ne oc Tu hive of ty. the talking-picture theatre fe Dressler's film, "Reducing," was being shown to an audience gf same $00 psapie.

In still another room a French-Canadian Young People's Club was having a dance, while in other rooms there were meet- ings of the Mill Hockey League, and the Ladies' Bowling League. The board of directors of the Club was meeting in another room, while the reading room, the billiard room and the bowl- ing alleys were all fully occupied id scores of people, young and old. Here was a real community centre, with all these activities going on under one roof at the same time, and with no clash be- tween any of them. Would that we had something of a similar type in the city of Oshawa to pro- vide for the many local activities that are being starved for lack of proper quarters. The Early Days Some of the old original set- tlers still remain, We had a long conversation with one of them, Tom Poolton, who came to Ka- puskasing to carve out a home- stead in the wilds. Vividly he told of these early days, when twenty-two men occupied first a log cabin, and later, a bunk house which was known as House No. 1, This house was south of the railway tracks, right where the paper mill woodpile stands to-day. All the lumber for build- ing purposes had to be carried on the shoulders of these pionéer settlers for a considerable dis- tance, over a railway bridge to the scene of operations. It was discouraging work clearing away the spruce forest, and breaking the land, but Mr. Poolton stuck with it, and to-day he is reaping the reward. Fruits of Perseverance To-day he has 100 acres of cleared land under cultivation, and another 100 acres which, he says, he is leaving for his boys to clear, so that they will under- stand something of what he had to do in the pioneer days. To-day, he has a beautiful farm home and a splendid herd of registered pure-bred Holstein cattle, raised from Oxford County champion- «hip foundation stock. He supplies the town of Kapuskasing with the milk, and his trim dairy truck can be seen making ite rounds of the town. Here is a striking ex- ample of the rewards of persever- ance, dogged courage and hard work, Board of Directors I a E. R. WOOD President G. A. MORROW Vice-President @nd Managing Director Hgrserr C.
