A NEW COMMANDANT. "Did you know. that there was a new First Commandment, and one that vitally affected every house- hold? No? ° Then you cannot too soon read it in the special article on Community Building, and lay it well to heart, Some things may be purchased from home and found to he of ex- cellent quality, Biit generally the goods to be found at home, and very close to your own doors, are the "equal of the imported articles, if they are not their supegior. There is great LH in the car- toon in to-day's Whig. A good housewife, who has been misled by some specious advertisement, has bought freely of an article, believing that she had been well served, and discerned the mistake when the head of the house, raising the coffee cup, enquired where she had been; trad- 'Ing. The wife takes affright, the mother-in-law is surprised, and the boy in dismay asks, "How much did you get of it, Ma?" . Never again will that household be deceived by flashy bulletins. The grocer at home will have henceforth a friend who will not break the First Commandment, r 1 STREET RAILWAY SERVICE. St. Thomas own its street railway. It has been aided as much as any public institution can he financially. It has been run in the interests of the people, and to meet their conven- dence, and the deficit this year will be $18,000. The per capita tax, "in order to keep 'the rate from going the scrap heap," will be $1.00 per ead. The question is, Can a rail- way in a small city be made to pay. It is doubtful, The Electric Journal discusses this ' question as a result' of an appel Which has been made to it, and by a correspondent who quotes the exper fences of a certain city of 35,000 po- puldtion.. This road had a ten-mj- Bute service with earnings of 15¢ per mile. When the headway was in- + creased to a point more nearly com- mensurate with. the needs of thé com- munity a perfect cyclone of opposi- tion arose. This caused the Jour- nal to remark tit earnings of - only 15¢ per mile Will involve a 108s for anyone except a miracle worker, #hd where such conditions. exist it would even seem advisable to publish -a detailed list of operating expenses as is done in machine shop account. lng. "This," says the Journal, "would atleast make some hard questions for peanut politicians te answer, for after all the general pub lic at heart is essentially fair-mind- ed." It is just as well that all the facts should be kept in view at a time ig the local railway is Passing ugh a somewhat painful exper- fence. Some citizens say, "Let the city buy and run the railway." They should study the situation in St. Tho- mas for the comfort it will bring to them.

But St. Thomas has had several ma- nagers and apparently no public offi |! cial has absolute control of an enter- prise of this kind. . 'The Couneéil and | the citizens will butt in and inter- fere with the best of managements. After all the success of a street ern Saskatchewan the homesteaders did mot reap enough to give them food. They had to pinch and se¢rape and borrow, even from the Govern- ment, in order to meet: their wants. This year their barns are full to over- | flowing or the granaries are unable to contain the products of the field. They will be able to bow'in thankful- ness to the Giver of every good and, perfect gift, for theirs is surely a happier lot. The intervening Sunday will give to church-goers an' opportunity to offer thanks without inconvenience, but they will not be acting upon the proclamation of the» Governor-Gen- eral unless on Monday they assem- ble themselves in the church courts and pour out their spirits in ardent prayefs. Will they do this? Or will the day be occupied, as usual, in the diversions that obscure the pur- pose of it and make its object a mockery? Though the occasion he one for thanksgiving in connection with the harvest, there is.no limit to the range of one's thoughts. Every Canadian will be moved to thank God for His guidance, His gracious influences through the vicissitudes of the war, | and for the promises of His aid and presence in the crises of the day. It will be a comfortable feeling that comes to him who realizes, in the language of Browning, that "God's in His heavens, and all's well with the world." : EDITORIAL NOTES. Will the Liberals let the half do- zen of seats that are vacant in the Federal House be filled without op- position? To do so would be to ap- prove of all of the acts of the Gov- ernment in these war times. That will be impossible. . * met.

One poor little white French poodle was quite car sick and moaned most of the time, This made the other dogs feel bad and they all tried to think of something that would help the lit: tle dog. . At last Eric said to a big New foundland dog, that was tied next to him: "If 1 could get out I think I could fix that poodle's box so it wouldn't move so much and that might make it easier for him to ride.' The big dog was tied, tight so he couldn't help but he was near Eric's box so he said: will try to Teosen the boards from the outside of your box and perhaps you "I tell you what: Fk ed the poodle's cage over to another » side of the car where it would be firm and would not sway when the train.went around the curves. The little dog was soon better and went fast asleep, and Eric began to look around to see what kind of a place he was in. Over in one corner was a crate with somé chickens in it, and they smelled so good Eric could not re- sist the temptation to try and get one for a meal, he put in a paw and out came a chicken. Then he tried again and got another one for his friend, the Newfoundland. Soon they were both having a nice meal. This was naiighty of course but Eric knew no better and the car men ne- ver knew even that Eric got out of his box or that any chickens were missing.
