And var- ious other prominent firms are pre- paring plans for establishments at Guelph, Kitchener, Windsor and ot- her cities, While all this activity is going on it is strange that Kingston should not be able to secure a single new industry, Yet the whole thing can be traced to the lack of an industrial commissioner, and to the lack of any person responsible for such matters. Every one of the cities mentioned in the above list has either an indus- trial commissioner or a Chamber of Commerce with 'a live manager. To their work is due the influx of in- dustry. Thé same result would sure- ly follow the appointment of a simil- ar official in Kingston. It it at least worth a trial, .

The commission form of city gov- ernment--which is a big improve- ment on the upwielly . aldermanic body.as we know ft in Kingston--has in many cities been superceded by a still better form, that of city-man- ager government. In many an up- to-date city the people have advanc- ed in the science of civic government, and adopted the manager plan. The commission form of government rests upon a principle which experi- ence has shown to be not entirely satisfactory----the distribution of ac- countability among several officers. The city manager system is an adap- tation of the commission which fixes responsibility. It is an application to the municipality of the principle upon which corporate business in Canada operates. In prin: ciple and practice it is superior to the comniission system. Dayton, Ohio, one of the most progressive cities of northern United States, has given the system its most thorough and intelligent trial. Its manager- system has been a boon, largely be- cause Dayton selected the right man. The trial of the system there, it is sald, has shown the need of eontinu- ed vigilance and corrections--which 5 A West Dallas (Texas) widow says 'that the reason she broke her last 'engagement was because her fiancee "was a coal miner, who would be at "his work only thirty hours a week "and be in her way all the rest of the time.

Occasionally he passes on the facts to Kis readdrs, but for the most part he prefers not to blow his own horn. His reticence or modesty---oall it what you wiil- prompts him to put the soft pedal on his own accomplishments. Stil, once in a while, a great occasion de- mands great eforts, and if the news- Papers of Canada at such a time have risen above party and private intar- ests, why should he hide his light ander a bushel? When the last Vie. tory Loan was announced the entire Press of the dominion was appealed to. It was pointed out that its suc- cess depended, in a large measure, upon the support it received from the newspapers of the country. The press, we are proud to say, rose to the occasion, and gave every possible assistance to the campaign. <The Vic- tory Loan, just concluded, was a magnificent success, and will do a great deal to advertise Canada throughout the world. The pant played by the press 'is strikingly set forth in a letter of thanks written by F. D. L. Smith, chairman of the Ontario Press News 'and Reature Committee. Mr. Smith writes: 3 4 "When the Canadian government requires money the people do mot re- spond with a stone. | $854,000,000, or pore re than one lar for every dollar subseri ¢ system, | fective than that given in connection with any previous loan. For this wh have to thank the newspaper pro prietors and editors all over the pro- vince. Not once during the campaig: have they fallen ghort of the de- mands made upon them. They have responded to every fresh call from headquarters. "Our belief is that the work done by the press in supporting this and bread cast upon the waters. It will return to them in the shape of new advertising. The financial world has at least learned the value of newspaper publicity. In the future, as never before, brokers will resort to press publicity in the sale of gov- ernment, municipal and company se- curities." | PUBLIC OPINION The of Notions, (Guelph Herald) The League of Nations appears to be up against the American League of notions, ---------- They're Wise, ¢ (Brockville Recorder) Scientists are predicting earthquakes for next year. if Ahyone around Ottawa this? several Wonder Might Face Trouble.

This became a habit and one of the instincts of the animal which has been transmitted to the dogs of to- day who keep it up, It is an inherit- ed habit quite useless to the dogs of to-day. --From the Book.of Wonders, pub- lished and copyrighted by the Bur- eau of Industrial Education, Inc., Washington, D.
