Christmas Is sill a few weeks away. but the wise ones will begin their Christmas shopping right away #0 avoid the rush later on. Those who cashed Victory Bond Interest coupons this week-end could | mot do better than invest the money in war savings stamps. They are a splendid Investment and on a par with Victory Bonds. , The debate on the report of the re-establishment commitiee takes place in the House of Commons next Monday. The result wilt be eagerly watched by veterans and their friends | all over the Dominion.

Now that we have a farmer pre- mier and a farmer government per- haps it would be in keeping with the @pirit of the times to have a farmer| leutenant-governor to succeed the present holder of the office. ---------- The election of a farmers' gov- emuient in Canada would probably ¥ 1] the | than they have. It seems rather un-| wise to let anyone class have the ad- vantage in this day.

There is a whole lot of truth' tin that to the man who has to pay | high prices for his coal supply. It seems rather strange that the | {country should have emough money {to finance the purchase of the Grand | Trunk Railway system and yet eah- inot afford to give further re-estab- { lishment to its soldiers. Perhaps the {| Minister of Finance can explain the consistency of his statements as to the country's ability or inability to | provide for the disabled and needy veterans and the widows and orph- ans. THE DESERTED VILLAGE. When the Prince of Wales wanted '4 real rest he travelled all the way from Montreal to Toronto to secure it. Which goes to show that Canada [has a deserted village all its own, where a man may not even buy a postage stamp on a Sunday. The prince has discovered, like many an- jotherwindividual, that Toronto is not {a bad place to sleep in. A FLYING VISIT. The king and queen of Belgium regret their Inability to visit Can- ada, says the Toronto Star. They a few Canadians flew over Belgium during the late unpleasantness. Canadian airmen did more for the {cause of Belgium---and of humanity | * |in general---than any other nation on | earth. Knowing that fact, we can! overlook the failure of the Belgian | 'royal couple to visit this dominion. { AUTO THIEVES, Canadians will be interested in learning that a bill has been intro- duced in the United States Congress providing a $5,000 fine and five| years' imprisonment for stealing an! automobile. This may seem severe, but it is much milder than the pen-! alty meted out on horse thieves. And something must certainly be done to |curb automobile thefts, Nearly every | |day the news despatches tell of cars stolen in broad daylight, and very few of the thieves are brought to jus- tice. The owners of cars should in-| sist that the government take steps to give them some measure of protec- tion. i i ! THE COAL SUPPLY, According to a statement issued by Sir George Foster we have been as- sured from Washington of an ade- quate supply of coal notwithstanding i the strike in the United States. This {is not the first time, remarks the | Montreal Herald, that we have re« ceived a friendly asssurance of this kind from our big neighbor, and, of course, wa appreciate it and stand ready to reciprocate. The president Hom. N. W, might have made a flying visit. Quite | In| fact, on the basis of population, the | of boyhood PUBLIC OPINION Government House Must Go. (Paraery' Sun, Toronto) The days of an official which none but a millionaire can oc- {| oupy, and which tends to the develop- | ment of snobbery and flunkevism ia a democratic community, are nam- {bered and the U.F.0. will do the {numbering. Patriotism In Schools. (Galt Reponter) What are our public schools dotng | to give pupils some idea of civics, of {our musi¢ipal government, for in- |stance? Are they taught how and | Why we are governed? At the schoo) {desk do they receive the Impression {that public property should not be | destroyed or dsfaced? Is patriotism | {In the school and on the school | playground wrapped up in flag wav- ing 4nd marching? 1s the heart of! the youth properly appealed to by! | spectacular things? And by the way, | | talking of flags, how many pupils! {off hand could draw the British Un- | lon Jack or briefly sketch its evoiu-| | tion from the cross of St. George, the | j cross of St. Andrew and the cross of | 8t. Patrick? 9 | Use The Telephone Quietly. ! (Toronto Sfar) | Talk gently into the telephone. Do | not talk' across it, nor about some-| | where in the general vicinity of it. Too many people use the telephone] |as if they had no confidence in its carrying power. i | A story, illustrating this, is told of | | the late Hon. James Duff and the late I Sir James Whitney, Mr. Duff used {to shout over the telephone, and one {quiet summer day he was on the Iphone, and his shouting ran along the corridors and disturbed Sir] {James in his office. "What on earth is all the racket about?" demanded the premier. "It is Mr. Duff, sir," replied the clerk. 'He is talking {to his wife in Simeoe county," "He is, eh?' remarked Sir James. "Well, | why doesn't he telephone her, in-| stead of yelling across the province | like that?" rors That Delectable Brown Sugar. (New York Sun) { How about the light brown sugar! days? Thrifty house] wives may have bought it because | it was cheaper than the, ultimately | refined white sugarbut §t was not always consumed, wa will say be- cause we know, for that reason. It! was spread in spoonfuls over buck- | wheat cakes, over deep saucers filled with whole grain hominy, over corn- | meal, over oatmeal over layers of! griddle cakes, full griddle size, with | plenty of butter to enrich the lusei- ous tower. And when boys came} home after a half day in the lake, | the pond, the old swimming hole, af- | ter an all day nutting excursion, best | of all then was a thick slice of fresh| --hot or red letter days--homebakesd bread well spread with butter and | then thickly topped with a feast of | brown sugar, to be repeated until | the partaker felt his buttons. Who! wanted lamb chops with creamed | potatoes, pork tenderloin with apple] sauce, after that perfect repast? } World's shipyards, except Germany | have on the ways 2,328 merchant ves- sels, aggregating 8,048,000 tons, and U.8. leads with 3,470 tons. Britain has 2,816,000 and Japan 299,000. Pittsburg steel men say many mills there could operate for weeks with coal stocks on hand. Other plants use natural gas.

The Salt Beds of Canada. Salt is such a common article in| every home that one is liable to forget | its necessity also that in Canada are | some of the greatest salt beds in the | world. The Upper Siiurian beds are | | found in Ontario and New York State, | { the Devonian in Manitoba and other! | parts of the West while New Bruns-| wick and Cape Breton nave a third! supply. | Sait is found either in solution or rock. beds. A numoer of salt springs arise from the lower carbonif- erous rocks in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, but this is small and the Quantity of salt obtained from this It is used chiefly to make a finv rable brand. But in a belt ten to fifteen miles in width reaching from tne Niagara Riv- er. to Southampton, Ont., is a huge supply in beds. Numerous wells have been sunk through the covering layer of rock to a dep of from one to two thousand feet. At Goderich Salt is mined in the Goderich sec- in this way: The water that finds its way down the outside of the! pipes sunk forms an aimost saturated solution which is pumped to the sur-! face and evaporated in tlie same way | the maple. A saturated brine! contains 27.6 per cent. salt and fre- tion is obtained in the Canadian mines! or wells . The evaporation takes) place in pans ranging in length from | one hundred to two hundred feet in| length with a slow fire burning under- | neath. { ! The industry is one producing| much work and wealth for the Cana-| dian people--a certain source of em- ployment and income. Brockville Charity Plans. Brockville, Nov. 6.--At a meeting! of the Council, Mayor Lewis brough: | up the matter of veiter regulations and disposition of public charities. |! He favored the formation of what fs! known as an associated charities. The | council was practically a unit on the| question and # was finally decided | to hold a meeting of the town's people | for its consideration. NR rr AS NSA ICH! TCH! ITCH!

We are also told by the United Mine Workers of America that Cape Breton coal will not be available for the warships of the United States. It seems 40 us that the president of the Privy Counefl might be better employed at Sydney than at Wash- ington, returning the friendly 'as- surance from Washington that if re- quired we would supply United States warships with fuél. That would be something appreciated by the United States government, and. more than that, by the whole people of the United States. Their coal is available for Casada, or for the Re- nown carrying the Prince of Wales home. Our coal should be available for any friendly nation. The notion prevailing so long among 50 many of an unfriendly nation is now obsolete. The war has taught us many things, and the assurance given to Ottawa from Washington, and publicly ac- knowledged by the acting prime min- ister of Canada, is one of the illus trations. At the saine time there ia Ro good reason why Canada ehould be dependent upon the United States for fuel between the two seaboards, The development of our own natural resources would solve the problem. .
