II mm GREEN TEA Patriotic Philan- thropy Gr^at Britain is probably the most heavily taxed nation in the world, as a result of the World War, and yet the sturdy citizens of the islands in the North Sea pay with but little grrumbling, with but little complaint It is regarded as a duty "to pay for the war." It thould be remembered that the richer the individual, the higher is his propcrt'on of the taxes to be paid. Not only, however, do the British pay those abnormally high taxes, but every once in a while the v^rlf* irnrn that Eon-.o patriotic indi {Ontario Forestry Policy Outlined Move to Do Away With Destructive Agencies Now Existing North Bay, Ont. â€" The foreitry policy of the Ontario Government was outlined by Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, to the Rotarlans here recently. Members of the Temlskaming and Northern On- tario Railway Commission, with whom the Minister toured the northern sec- tion, were present, as well as Hector , , , , , , - ^ Cherles, jCTrnallst, another member vldual hita forwarded to the Govern-! of the party. Mr. Finlayson made a^strong appeal ir.ert a large sum of money, or its equivalent, to assist in liquidating its corTTom debt, and thus lessen, even if only infinitesimally, the heavy bur- den of taxation carried on the shoul- dTS cf his fellow-countrymen. In this way a total of over £1,000,000 has been paid into the British Treasury. The latest gift of this nature is of a somewhat unique character, and was made as most of them have been, anonymously. The simount is the handsome sum of £100,000, and the condition on which it has been given is that the money nhall lie at com- pound intcrifrt for u number of year.s before being applied to the reduction of the national debt. As money at 6 T^cr cent. d( ub!es itself in about 14 years, it is ca.^y to perceive that in a comparatively short time the original £100,000 v.ill have grown into a most respectai)le sum. It may be recalled to the credit of the British Piimc Minister, Stanley I^aldwin, that he it v/as who started the ball rolling in giving these large sums of money toward the ameliora- tion of his country's condition. It will be remembered that Mr. Baldwin, when the country's need was most urgent, realized 20 per cent, of his entire fortune, which he valued at some £580,000, and with this amount ho purchased £150,000 of the n*w war loan. The gift was anonymous, and it was only lat^r that Mr. Wickham Ktevd made the matter public in the Review of Reviews. This patriotic example was followed with donations of other sum.s of money, extremely satisfactory to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the total amount thus received, as before stated, is consider- ably over £1,000,000.â€" Editorial Chris- tian Science Monitor.

" I88UE No. 3â€" '28 for support of the policy which the goTernment will introduce at the next session. The aim was to develop Nor- thern Ontario and at the same time conserve for posterity the most im- portant of its basic Industries, lum- bering, Mr. Finlayson said. He foresaw a possibility that the policy would be opposed by cltisens of southern Ontario, but he felt that they would sooner or later see the neces- sity for such drastic and revolution- ary change. "You In Northern Ontario can readi- ly see the benefit that will accrue with the successful operation of such a Bchenio and wo of the government appeal for your whole-hearted co- operation in the practical application of the policy," said the minister. It was pointed out that lumbering and kindred occupations formed the second most Important Industry of the province and operations in recent years on any largo scale were con- fined to northern districts. A survey of existing conditions showed that this Industry was fast waning owing to destructive agencies of various sorts which commenced an "eating In" program within the last half cen- tury. Reconstruct Industry. The policy to be Inaugurated by the Government at the next session will aim at correcting this "ruinous con- dition" and reconstructing Industry o na basis which is hoped will result in it being preserved for all time. It Is proposed to apply three reme- dies, reforestation throughout south- ern Ontario in sections where land will not permit of any other use; in central Ontario a program of rehabi- tatlon and replanting and conserva- tion of existing timber in northern Ontario by safe-guarding areas from destructive fires. It was shown that a total of 2,123,000 acres of virgin for- ests were destroyed by fire in 1923, but this loss has been cut to 60,000 acres last year. Expectations are that loss this year will not exceed 36,- 000 acres. The Minister stated that the depart- ment was at present engaged In im- jirovlng the highway between Severn and lluntsvllle with n view to start- tiiK on construction of one of the main lilKhways of the province. The l^-rguson highway will begin at Sovern and extend to Cochrane, a dis- tance of approximately 600 miles, Vhe entire route wll bo set out in mile posts. The Minister predicted that the Influx of tourists to Northern On- tario this year wotild bo double that of last year.

A trifle gloomy to my way of thinking," murmured Mr. Simon Trickey as he pushed open the small gate intended for pedes- trians and proceeded up the drive. Mr. Trickey had been a clerk in the stockbrOking office of Ooningsby and Gleniister, and, subsequently, after the senior partner's death, in the employ of Dudley Glenlster ahme. On the latter's succession bo the Glenlster tiUe and estates the business connec- tion of the firm had been sold to a new combination, with whom Mr. Trickey could have remained had he so doOTTed. He elected, however, to retire from city life anid live on his savings â€" a proposition which struck his intimates as strange. The cnmii-H of the wine bars and lunch counters had been surprised to find him, two years -after hia sever- ance from ostDnwiblc work, still "goin.? strong."

"There seemed to be," he per- sisted, "more than a chance that you might need my help." "What for?" demanded Glenlster roughly. The visitor glanced significantly at the closed door and open French win- dows through which they had entered. "Unless you ore prepared to talk on your fingers, sir, I should prefer to leave that to your imagination," he said. "Keyho'les and garden paths harbor listeners sometimes." "There is nothing more that you can do to help me and you have been well paid for what yorf have done al- ready," the baronet responded an- grily. "No evidence that you could window. Melville lifted his ej-ebrows towards the clerically attired visitor. "I really beg your pardon, sir," said the baronet "What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?"
