Will the day ever came whexi the State will forbld beeuty cari- tests-because ai their Lad cfect on those wlio enter them? The ~State forbids us ta do manyr things which have a liutiul effct on aur ndrals or which menace aur phy- sical safety or which tend ta im- pair aur health. For equaily good and perhaps similar reasons it could forbid beauty contesta. I suppose that the beginning of beauty contesta was the Beautiful Babies competition. Then Holly- wood underscored Beauty in grown-ups. Then seaside resorts put an beauty contesta. Then the ies spread like a prairie lire. The idea has widened. To-day grown-up men and under-20 men parade themselves before judges in a prize contest. Prizes are being ffered for beautiful children and beautiful misses. Parents of children and grown- ap daughters who cannot hope ta win a prize in a beauty contest sould be grateful ta heaven for tis mercy. Here I recall a story worth re- tlling. An aged lady of Paris, when a distmnguished stateaman was intraduced ta her, said ta hlm, Now, arn I not the ugliest woman in Paris?", replied, with ready wit and gailantry, "In ail the world, Madame." I arn not belittling beauty. I ke ta look at beautiful wornen yven as do other meni, but this is not the surie as sayixig that I want beautiful wamen ta match thcm- selves againat oan xother even s horses and fancy work and pic- tres and dress designis and mator cars are matched against one an- Dther i relation ta the test af beauty. When a yourig woman, or a girl in her mid-tecns, or a child, eri- trs a beauty cantest, the effect Dn her mind and on her habits isi disastrous. Who in his rlght mind wants ta rnarry a girl who enters beauty conitests? What Others Say~ ABOLISE FIXED ASSESSMENT (Almonte Gazette) It is runiored that at the next sessioni of the Ontario Legislature abill may be introduoed for the purpose af abolishing the Power of, municipalities ta grant fixed asSssments. Already -legisiation has been passcd prohibitig a mnxicipality frorn grantlnga sec- ond fixcd assessmerit terin to any industry. This is in the inleresta of the taxpayera at large-tbeé or- dîary businessmen and the Peo- ple cf a towri Who are retired and trying ta live on tixeir savings. [o the last mentioned class; taxes resent a problem which increases in gravity as the earning power of their savixigs draps year by year. RELEGATED TO W. P. B. <Orillia Packet & Times) Every newspaper office every day receives bu]ky letters with articles written on ail sorts oi subjects, which the sender is sure readers are staying up et night to rcad. They came from al sorts of organizations and corn- mercial campanies. A large pro- portion is pure advertising for the firmsa.who send it out, and they hope it will be put in the news columns withaut charge. Most of it cornes fromn some ai the largest and wcalthiest companles in Canada. Articles came fremn the Plumber's Association every week. Then there are articles cf propagenda for this, that and the other thing. Each week mare material is received than would fill a whole paper. If it wes used the newspapers would sean have no readers, as there would be no raamn for news, and ncws is what a subacriber looks for. The rafts and rafts of stuff sent out on war subjecta on good paper must cost the country a pile of money. Big envelopes came with type writtcn sheets by the dozen.

Geordie McMil- Ian, nated Canadien horsemen, died at his hame iPart Perry, in bis 84th ycar. Mr. McMilar was known irom. coast ta coest as an expert judge and lover of horses. He was in the business of buying these an- inials for slxty years. To ship saine carleads cf horses ta Mon- treal, Halifax or'Vencouver was an everydey matter i these .early days. Wondcrful animais they were, toc, and they brought big prices li lumber camps and fer day work. Even as late as 1920, shipments of 32 carloada were made frem Woodviile li Uic Spring o! that year. Because Mr. McMillan wes a gaad judge of harses, and be- cause hie loved them, he was a driver of rare skill, seldom, if ever, equalled among borsemen. It was a real pleasure ta sec, hini hendie the animais on the track .or i the showring. As everybody kriows, the trade heu suifered severely of late yeers; but while the volume cf sale la reduced there are still goad animais ta be had. Deceeued was knawn far and wide for goad judgment and fair deeling. He was highly 'esteemed amang horsemen throughout the country. Mr. McMilen wes barri et Hag-. eraville and spent hls bayhood and yaurig manhoad on the farin. But his intcrest was always with thc horses. On Nov. 20th, 1880, Georie Mc- Millan was married ta Agnes Watson, Unlonville. The cere- mony was performed by Dr. Carey cf the Anglican Church, Port Pcrry., Six clifidren wex'c barn cf this marriage -- Samuel, James, Isaac (wha died in 1934), George, af Toronto Telegraun, iarahi (Mrs. Earl Cook), Oshaw«; and Margar- et at haine.

No aC can pre- dict what the situation will be next fait, but we- are certain prices cannot be lower than they are now and the possibility is they rnight be considerably higher. You have nothing ta lase and everythig ta gain, byV ordering at this time. You'Ul save money: you'U have your coal in your bin and you'il be safe li an emergency. It la alsa a decided advantage ta order "blue coal," Lbe- cause this trademarked anthracite assures you cf gettlng what you asked for-the world's flnest anthracite. These days, with so many fuel problems, substitution or znlxlng may of necessity be more prevalent than before and this means inferior heat and more coat ta yau. But wlth '"blue coal," the blue colour that you cari see at a glance, guarantees the qualty-and guarantees delivery of the coal you ordered. Why not get i touch wlth us by phone to-day-anmd we are sure you wiil thank us next fail for the suggestion we are making ta you now, because we slncerely Le- lieve that what we say is true: you'11 be better oit li many ways by getting "blue ceai" and ordering It rlght now.
