A new invention is expected to do away with the necessity for telephone operators, by doing their work anto- matically. If these machines will only give an improved service then they will be very welcome. Andrew Carnegie wished to die a pauper but he missed his desire by "several times $60,000,000."

Finding out where the rest of the amount went to would be an interesting subject for investi gation by a cost of living committee.

The Kingston Whig last week com- pleted the installation of a new Hoe rotary press to facilitate the handling of their growing dafly edition, which previously had to be printed in two 3 sections and "stuffed," a slow and laborious process, With' the new machine having a capaicty of 20,000 complete copies an hour, the werk of printing is a small matter compared #0 the old system, and the forms van % | be held open for late news each day. 0 |The Whig celebrated the advent of the new press by printing a "Igger Kingston" edition of forty-eight pages. The Whig is one of the most progressive of the smaller city dailies, and is latest enterprise places'it on equality with the metropolitan pa- pers. It does not seem so long ago that the Whig was printed on a sin- glé-cylinder press such as used by the Reporter, and we are glad to note the progrges made, and that the enter- prise manifested has #s reward in increased prosperity. --Gananoque Reporter. FOUR MONTHS E RETURNS. The Department 6f Customs has issued a quarterly report covering the months of Apri yMay, June and July. During this perfod the total value of our trade was $685,787, 357. Dautiable imports amounted to $185,451,503 and non-dutiable $98, 445,610, making a total of $283,897,- 013. The total exports amounted to $357,883,897 and of this amount agriculture produced $223,001,4385, while our manufactured articles amounted to $134,882,462, iron and steel leading, showing a value of $26,- 087,396. Before the close of the year agricultural exports will probably reach a value of $800,000,000, but there will hardly be a corresponding increase in manufactured articles, dr foreign industries will continue to ye- organize. This demonstrates con- clusively the great need for the highs ést possible production from the soil While the demand for Canadian farm produce exists .as it will during the next few years; and it is during this period that we may reasonably. hop to make substantial reductions in our national debt. The crying need of the hour everywhere is '"'produe- tion" and we have but to seize the op- portunity. THE AUTOMOBILE THIEF, While burglary of houses and stores, witich used to-be vommon, is now becoming an old-fashioned oc- cupation, owing to well-lighted streets, and various devices of pro- tection, a more daring type of crim- inal has sprung into prominence. Burglary was done in the hours of darkness and generally in the dead of night when there 'were few people about, but automobile thieving is largely dope in broad daylight before our very éyes. The auto thief steps into the car of a citizen on the street or ina garage and boldly drives off. He canmot cover his tracks like the his pocket or in a basket like a burg- lar can secret his stolen wares o money, and he must pass over fre |quented roads with the stolen auto always in view. North and south, i authorities under whose jurisdiction they Mve. The big objection to the present scteme is the objection which holds good In Kingston, that too many municipalities have failed to avail themselves of the loans being offered at five per cent. interest by the government. The council of King- ston having rejected the by-law necessary, the people of Kingston are thereby debarred from participation in the government plan. The Veterans' Advisory Committee, which forms part of the Repatriation Board ,in order to meet the situation which occurs in towns and cities placed in a position similar to that which exists here. in Kingston, sug- gests that the money should be loan- ed directly to any returned soldier who desires to eréct his own home, through the Soldier Settlement Board, just as loans are being made to ex-soldiers who want to go on the farm. Under such a scheme, veterans in Kingston who are desirous of se- curing assletance to build homes could make their application direct to the government. As it Is now, they are helpless in so far as government aid is concerned. The city council ignored the housing situation, failed to recognize the opportunity given it by the Ontario Housing Act, and thus Kingston is utterly cut off from all participation in the scheme. The suggestion: made by the representa- tives of the veter .s seems to be a reasonable one, and one that should meet with general apparoval. As the plan urged by them is proving satisfactory in land settlement, there is no reason why # should not be applied with equal success to the housing problem.

PUBLIC OPINION Hear, Hear! {Brantford Expositor) It is to be presumed most of the civic and other addresses presented to royalty and other distinguished personages ultimately find their way to'the junk shop. Why, then, should their number be multiplied? Chiefly Later. : (Toronto Star) Sooner or' late the idea that the high cost of living if something about which nothing can be done, owing to the sacred law of supply and demand, is one which will have to be aban- doned here in Canada. 1 "History Repeats. (New York Tribune) Following the civil war the peakof high prices was not reached for two years. It looks as if history might repeat itself. Each of the industries, according to the voice of its experts, finds it Impossible to lower prices, Yet prices have a way of topping, de- spite the demonstrations of the ex- pert. And as to this also history may repeat itself. Avoid Harsh Pills! Doctors Condemn Them Most pills unfortunately are harsh and drastic; they cause inflammation and great discomfort. Rather like nature is the way a pill should act, mildly but effectively. Science has established nothing more satisfactory as a family pill than the old reliable pills of Dr. Hamilton's, which for forty years have had a premier place in America. Dr. Hamilton's Pills are very mild and can be effectively used by the aged, by children, and indeed by ten and women of all ages. No stomach or bowel medicine is more reliable. No remedy for indigestion, headache or biliousness 1s so effec- tive, so mild, so certain to guickly cure as a 26¢ box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
