the united states he explained that costs of manufacturing are almost equally divided between labor and raw materials and said that in both of these items the ford company of canada was favorably situated as the ameri can plants- -largp- scale- prodqctibn- ceasesto be an- advantage after reaching a certain point and we are past that in otar canadian plant we are turn ing out 600 cars a day and another point in favor of the canadian plant mr ford said was you have abetter class of workmen in canada than we have in the united states more intelligent more vigorous they are mostly anglosaxon asked why if the ford couid be made as cheaply in canada as in the united states we have had to pay much higher prices for irfmr ford said the old story because the tariff had made the higher price possible thats all canadas greatest resource irrespective of what object may have induced the special effort it is admitted by those who have seen it that the christian science monitors allcanada

which has passed the ontario legislature at its recent sssion has special interest to married people it amended the laws which required a man to support his wife so that it will force him to make such adequate provision for her as his circumstances may permit at the tine of his death it would prevent a man cutting off his wife in his will at the pres ent timer a memorandum upon the fisher bill ex- plaiiieclja man is bound by law jo jrpyidefornis wife afong as he lives he is under no legal obli gation to provide for his wife after his death if he dies without leaving a will she shares in his estate as provided by law if he makes a will except to real estate he can leave all his property to whom ever he wishes he maybe worth one million dollars injnds and yet dispose of his estate without leav ing his wife one cent the bill introduced provides that when a man dies leaving a will and does not make leasonabje provision for hts wife the court may on application make provision out of the es tate for his wife editorially the monitor says canada is justly proud of its immense resources of forest and fertile field of mine and water power but of their great est assets canadians are characteristically voiceless it is not something drawn from the earth it has sprung rather from an inherent consciousness in jjie people of the value of the things that are unseen the dominions

dam age to gardens flower beds lawns and so on in will ker ton ia bylaw has been introduced making- it compulsory for dog owners to tie up all the canines during may and june means are being worked out to thoroughly enforce the bylaw other towns have taken up the same idea there is no doubt as to the benefit of the scheme dog owners realize themselves that their pets do damage not only to their own gar dens but to other peoples as well there is no in justice in an act that 7forces pople to tie up clogs in the spring and summer of the year readers will admit also that here is an uncommonly large num ber of dogs running around the streets of our town kincardine council would do well to look into the matter there should be no kick if similar steps were taken here good gardens beautiful flower beds and lawns certainly lend charm and benefit to the town there are many strong reasonable points in favor of such a bylaw kincardine reporter j preparations aro already under way for the big

nearly a decade the debentures issued by the town for local utilities have been purchased by our citizens from their personal savings instead of having therri handled toy outside brokers and capitalists an investment is made by alt purchasers of debentures this investment na turally induces a keener interest in local utilities in which a personal flnajncial interest is held take our waterworks system for instance in which our own citizens hold from 125000 to 150000- is it any wonder that the holders of the debentures are even more interested in the success of the waterworks system than citizens generally they are natural w interested in the proper administration and main tenance of this valuable plant it is not tobe won dered at therefore thatt there is a constarjtly re eurring suggestion that the system be placed under tho supervision of a commission specially appointed to administer the operation of the plant the collec tion of water rates the inspection of services and their metres and all other details it is very mani fest that the system will never be satisfactorily sup- ervised and controlled until it is placed under a commission c b brown chief of

meas ure to the mercenary tendencies of the times we are beginning to think of success as being synonymous with the accumulation of wealth hence we have grown to think of thrift only in terms of wealth in its original application the word thrift means the condition of one who thrryes or prospers not only in the matter of accumulating wealth but in any thing that he attempts to do a person is thrifty in the matter of health when an intelligent interest is manifested in it and when one does not allow his health to be abused or injured by excessive in duigence and dissipation a person is thrifty in busi ness not only when he idoka to the economy ofjex- penditure but also when he caref umy l out and studies the best way of arriving at desirable results and a person is thrifty in the matter of finance not when he accumulates wealth at one time of his life and allows it to slip away from him at another but when he sees to it that during the earning priori of hivlifetime sufficient is laid by to takeeare of him during old age or in the event of being disabled a persdn is thrifty in the matter of citizenship when the franchise and all other rights are not used with reckless
