Circulation over 1000, Price in Canada |2.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.50. In paid in advance $2.00. V. S. A. $2.50 per year, when W. H. THURSTON, P. J. THURSTON, - - Editor Assoc Editoi THE EXCHANGE QIESTH)N It is high tin>e that Canada waken- ed up to the legalized piracy that in going on with rcRanl to the exchange of iiur money when submitted foi the imyment of debts in the United State.«. When public utilitie.s in Can- ada have been promoted it has been the habit in the pa.st to rush to the United States market for fund.'*, and our wonderful hydro system has been the big sinner in this repaid, with tlu' result that today we are payinp hi'ndreds of thousands of dollurii in •â- xchange in addition to interest, and fci- which not one cent of value has been received by the users of elee tricity. If this country cannot go ahead with its public utilities it should postpone development until r^ market could be found that woulil appreciate the stability and value ol thi> Canadian dollar. Notwithstand- ing the fact that Canadian investments nre as far removed from speculative issues as it is possible to bo, and the stability of our banking institutionr: the financiers by juggling demand a premium upon what the country and its banking institutions have to offer The on.y way to combat these unfaii conditions is to withold our offerings until such time as the purchasers are willing to accept payment in eithei Canadian or New York funds. Such an arrangement should enter into every sale of Canadian guaranteed bonds. The present condition of a?- fairs has been instrumental in re- taining many hundred thousands of dollars by Canadians who find it un- remunerative to do bi'siness with United Stat.°s firm.';. It is certainly a matter of chagrin to think that a nation whi.h has suffered the ex- tinction of over two hundred banks (luring the past yeai end the hard- .•^hips intailed thereby in the case of thousands of depositors, can charge a iiremium on our Dominion protect- ed money. As a set off against this condition of affairs in our neighbor- ing republic not one hank failure has l;ecn reported in Canada for many yeais. To illustrate how this nefarious ex- change affects us locally wc simply remark that in the case of hydro our sma.l installation is charged up Sl'J.- ()0 for the past month by the Hydi\. Commission as oxchar.gc alone, above and beyond the "at cost" allotment for service. Considering all these tacts the Hydro or any other public commis.sion which goes to the United States for funds should be placed in the limbo of back numbers and treat- ed with the si'orn it deserves by Can- adian investors. We have never yet heard a sat- isfactory cxplanati(m of why the American banks should treat Canadian funds as they do. Yes, we have heard many an explanation, but they all fall short of reason as figured out by the ordinary mind. But then perhaps ours is not eVen ordinary. EDITORIAL NOTES Oh, yes! It is said that Japan and China are not at war! That is probably (luite correctâ€" it is only Japan that is at war, and in her cas: it does not even take two to make n fiuarrel. • • ♦ The groundhogs appear to be tuf- fering from some sort of bad dr-'inis. From different sources far apart wc leai-n of the unrest of ih aiiiiKiil, who .should be resting instead of wandering around the coun ly. Hut perhaps it is sleep walking, and that they are dreaming of a "depression • • • According to news reports a rep- resentative of the Dominion govern- ment found out in New York that the recent Russian trade scheme was not a genuine offer. Should thv- not have been found right in govern- ment circles in Ottawa instead of New York? We all remember Prem- ier Bennett's stand at the Economic Conference in Ottawa last summer, when he urged Britain to curtail trading with the Soviets. A lot oi people seem to h«ve been misled by Homeb(Mly in this matter, and a »i. of confusion has resulted. • • • iWhat is the political worlil comin;: to? Jim Hunter, the broa tcnstc! for the Mall-Empire, has gi/tn Mlns Macphail a clean bill of health, mota phorically speaking. In other words he has at I'ast discovered that she is not of a masculine type, but on the contrary is intensely feminine, with a brilliant intellect, eloquent, and that providing the new C.C.F. movement becomes a factor in politics she i> apt to become its leader in the House We kave been wondering what pe-. ally will be meted out to Jim by thi .Mjatil managcn'.fnl for that carxl d outburst? We hope he will not be cai.ed in off the air. We like to hear his cheery "Good Wednesday luoining everybody." • • • A large Toronto department store submits in their advertisement the following sensible advice to all buy- er. -i: "Before buying, examine goods, .iini'iaie values and bi'v wherever you get most for your money. Reaa- ing the ads. does help, but in addition you should handle the merchandise." This advice, coming from the source it does, is worth pausing to consider by the local purchaser. If the ad- vice was complied with tand it oughi to be) what would become of the mail order houses? The people should cease from their endeavor to main- tain mail-order houses at the ex.- pense of retail merchants and com- mon sense. • « • A Toronto firm in a New Voa, advertisement announces that other towns and cities have dealt with tbeni during the past eleven months to the tune of over six million dollars. Ot this sum the town of Durham supplied SI 58,000. Thus there has been a steady flow of money Toronto-wards to the great detriment of the towTis which supplied this trade. This $158,- 000 if kept in circulation at Durham would have gone a long way towards easing the condition of affairs then during the past eleven months. Olhei towns and cities likewise. It is as- tounding how many people there &rj in this world who cannot see even as far as the end of their nose. • • • While the League of Nations is coming in for some hard knocks these days for its apparent impotence, Ja- pan has instituted a League of its own, known as The "Manshu mondia Kaiketsu Domei" â€" the League for the solution of the Manchurian probi'em. This League a^so may have very little to do with settling the problem. The almond-eyed junkers of Japan are proceeding to settle the question themselves by destroying ! Chinese cities and killing off the defenceless citizens. The Manshu-mondia Kaiketsu Domei should disband. Dundalk Election Tangle Interesting There will be no municipal election on Monday next in the village of Uurdulk as the result of the granting of an injunction liy His Honor Judge G. W. .Moiley, Local Judge of the Su- preme Court, on Thursday, Messrs. M. W. Ridley, a candidate for the Reeveship, and S. J. Simmons," a canditate for the council, were the jilainliffs in the actjon brought be- fore Judge Morley in Owen Sound un Thursday, iand the defendants named were the Corporation of the vil.age of Dundalk and G. H. Mar shall, the village clerk. The ac;tion arises from an erroi in connection with the (lualification procedure. Messrs. Ridley and .Simmons fii'ed their qualification pap- ers previous to the o'clock on limit for presenting them. They were not accompanied by a italement from the Treasurer to the efi'ecl that these men had i)aid their taxes, and the lesult was that R. J. Russell was de- clared elected Reeve by acclamation and Messrs. A. D. McAllister, Thos Oliver, Frank Macintyrc and A. C McDonnell elected at Councillors by icclamation. It developed later that in the case of a village election candidates do not have to present cer- tificates to the effect that their taxes have been paid, and when this was ascertained Messrs. Ridley and Sim- mons decided to take action and took the matter before His Honor Judge .Moiley in Owen Sound. They were represented by Mr. J. F. P. Birnie. The injunction slates that no elec- tion can be held on January 2 in the village of DundaiTc and the or ficials are restrained ifrofm taking any action toward holding anothei election before January Tjth or until such time as proper procedure may be decided upon. The injunction is a temporary one and is returnable at Osgoode Hall in Toronto on January 5th.â€" Sun-Times Impressions Of Southern States See the big hockey game tonight StMary's Anglican Church MAXWELL Rector, Rev.

It is difficult to get a mental rest â€" going to bed, even calling in a doctor does not guarantee it. While the body lies inactive the mind goes racing on. iWilh me a diverting "movie", an interesting book, a dance, a strange country or place is the best possible way of resting. Texas always seem- ed to promise change â€" new sights and sounds, and so recently I went to visit two cities, Dallas and Houston, in the largest state in the Union. The weather was a bit disappoint ing, with St. Louis, Mo., providing al most exactly the same "brand" as Toronto. The trainmen encouraged me by saying that there would be no sno-.v in Dallas, but there was, more than in many years. However, Hous- ton, two hundred and fifty miles further south, made a coat unnecess- ary and steam heat in the hotel a misery. The delightful southern people were quite disturbed over tht naughty pranks the weather played. They are weather-proud and days that are not balmy are unusual. The poinsettia made the gardens a gloi-y before "the freeze." .Sure enough, you all missed a sight," said one dear lady. But though I did miss the red Christmas flowers I saw narcissus blooming out of doors and a most effective table decoration in red and white, red candles in white holders at either side of a blood red glass bowl of white narcissus, all on a mirror. Speaking of the dinner table reminds me of the Texas yams and grapefri:ii which were very good â€" the southern cooking is all you hear "where every prospect pleases and only tea is vile." Houston, a city of three hundred thousand, has become the cotton port of the South, and one of the greatest cotton ports in the world. At the moment more baled cotton is on the docks there than at any time in the past. A cotton authority told me that never before in any port in the world was there as much cotton ready foi shipping. That being true one is not surprised to read such editorial opinion in the Houston Press, as this: "American agriculture, in particular, is desper- ately in need of wider markets abroad. Our cotton and wheat farmers are in a serious plight, largely becau3e oi their inability to sell their surplus abroad. A debt settement that will enable them to sell a larger part of their production overseas will be an aid in restoring |)ro.sperity in .Amer- ica If foreigners are to buy in this country." The tornado and tidal wavt in 1900 caused a flight from Gal- veston, which, until then, had been the port of the South. Real estate values fell. No action was taken by the city to re-establish confidence, resulted in trade turning from Gal- veston to the more enterprising city of Houston, which, although forty miles from the Gulf of Mexico, had a "bayou" or dry river bed, up which the Gulf waters backed. This was deepened into a ship channel and a turning basin made. To-day -the ocean liners come right to the city ot Houston, giving it a cosmopolitan air Both the Houston and Dallas Forum audiences were deeply inter- ested in the question of Canadian- American tilude figuiTjs and ware surprised to learn that Canadian im- ports from US. A. had dropped from nearly 900 million dollars in 1929 to not (luite 300 millions in the year end- ing October 19.12, while exports to U. S.A. dropped in the sar.^e period from 53G millions to 178. The value of the export of Canadian farm products raw and processed, to U.S.A., between 1921 and 1932 ending with June, fell from 159 Vj million dollars to 8*i inil- lion dollars. Between these two date? came the Emergency Tarilf, the Tordney-McCumber Tariff and tht llawley-Smoot Tariff, and our very high tariff relations. The Forum's purpose is to present speakers who will open the way for in'udligent discussion of movements in the fields of science, politics, litera- ture and art, says the Houston Post.! The most interesting personality I met was Elmer Scott of Dallas, now not young, who was a social leader, a wealthy, fashionable man-about- town, giving dinners and parties which set the standard in his set, ac cording to the statement of youngoi people. Fifteen years ago Mr. Scott decided such a life was not satisfying, retired from business, kept only a very little of his wealth and began quietly to gather around him people who were interested in thoughtful discussion of literature, music, art and drama. His spirit has not dom- inated but pervaded the whole com- munity. He has encouraged the young men and women to express themselves. It was false, he stated, to wait to see wh.it New York fn'd about n play, a book, a social movement, an opera, before a per.'^on in Dallas could sny what he thought or even l:now what he thought, aid so this decentralization policy of the cultural life was carried on. A big old house and barn were bought by the Civic Federation, an organization which is the result of the bringing together of the Forum, the Little Theatre, the Art School, The Letters Club, etc. In this old bare house Elmer Scott lives with a colored man servant, who is cook, butler, house- keeper and chauffeur, all in one. The barn is a studio for art and music lovers. The main house has tht library and offices, presided over by efficient young women, who love theii work and are eager to help in build- ing a new social order, which will insure an abundant life for all. With Mrs. Sara L. Hughes, the only woman member of the Texas Legisla- ti're, a body of 150 members, I at- tended the Little Theatre to see a play "Wherever You May Roam,' written by a Dallas man and played by Dallas people, and it was a very satisfactory play. I met a writer or two and had lunch with the artists. As we ate I was attracted to a very large picture on the bare wall facing me. It was an Ozark mountain scene futuristic enough to have clear divis- ions and richness of color, but still beautiful to the "lay" eye. The brilliant sunlight on the mountainside cheered and helped me. I said so, not knowing that the painter of the picture was sitting on my right Elmer Scott's face shone with pleas- ure that I should unwittingly encour- age a man who needed it rat::cr much. Anyone who thinks money stand- ards are the meaauring stick for greatness should meet Scott wearing his old hat and threadbare coat waltzing jarntily along, carrying quite obviously, a happy heart and spending all his time in active good- will toward his fellow man. My three days in Dallas were an endless delight, in spite of a pick- pocket gathering my $50. Often I have wondered how awful must be the sensation of not being sure one had enoutih money to pay for food and shelter, so after the $50 left I thought I would experiment and ^nd out a little about it. With two cheques of considerable size drawn oi. a Texas bank in my pocketbook 1 started back with what was left in cash. Sleeping accommodation, meals, porters, and taxis had to be paid for, or done without. The first day a playright from Dallas, whom I hao met, asked me to tea and dinner, that helped. I handled my own luggage The next day I ate one meal, break- fast, for 20 cents, griddle cakes, syrup and coffee, walked instead of taking a taxi, shoved breakfast on until mid-forenoon and found a lot of down and outs were doing the same thing; slept in an upper berth (was working too hp.rd to go without) read papers other people had finished with. I spent my last SI bill to send a wire from St. Louis to Byron Young of Brigilen, asking him to meet me in Windsor, in order to get me to aTi afternoon meeting there on time. It had to be a straight wire and ovei ten words, never did I choose words so carefully. Finally, I arrived in Detroit and took a taxi to the tunnel bus, which brought me onto Canadiati soil with just 54c, which I had care- fully kept for a real breakfast. How- ever Byron Young insisted on paying for the "sure enough" breakfast and I gave the 45c to the crippled child- ren's fund. But that was all just playing. What must it bo for thosi who grimly face want, and hopeless- ness day otter day. â€"AGNES MACPHAIL. Ceylon, Dec. 30, 1932.

He should not come direct to the table from ex- citing play. A diet period should precede and follow meals. We are more hungry on some days than others. It is not to be expectea that the child will eat the same amount of food each day. A develop- ing cold, or other illness, causes loss of appetite. It is better for the child that he does not eat more than he needs, or to eat if illness is coming on. The child is grealy influenced by the attitude of the grown ups. When he takes his meals with the family, he will very likely refuse any food which he sees his father or mothei refuse.- This is not due to heredity; it is imitation. Children desire attention; they en- joy being the centre of attraction. U they find they cannot attract attention by refusing to eat, they gain theii objective. Care should be taken at all times to avoid showing the child, by word, look or acion, that his fail- ure to eat is causing any concera. The child's eating habits should not be discussed or referred to in his presence. At a much more early age than most parents realize, children are aware of and pay atiention to tht conversation that is going on about them. It is the worrying mother who creates many feeding problems be- cause the child knows he can gain her attention by not eating and thus caus- ing his mother to worry. Those who are opposing the Soviet administration in Russia are taking desperate chances, and it means sure death if they are caught. In Russia they do not wait for a trial and a conviction, but the heads of the gov- ernment just take them out and hang them. Such a system of government must come to an end some day, and when that time comes things are going to happen in Russia. 'MADE 10 OIDEI FOR MNADUNS K HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA REFUSES TO EAT How many mothers, at one time oi another, have exclaimed: "He won't oal!" Any one of these mothers, it .she has an audience, will likely go on to explain what it is that her child v.ill not eat, and usually concludes her tirade by saying that she cannot understand her child's attitude and that she does not know what to do about it. The complaint is so general that wc may presume it is not unusual fot a child to refuse to eat. There arw several reasons and any one of these may be responsible for the child's action. It is worth while to consider these reasons, as that is the only way to learn how to meet the problem. All of us, adults as well as child- ren, prefer the foods of which we arc accustomed. If a child refuscii a new food, he should not be forcca to eat it. If this is done, it is al- most Ruic to create in the child an active dislike for that food. New foods should he given in small am- ount; .vast a taste to begin with. andlTSCANADASCHOKEinthe LOW-PRICE FIELD!
