Let 'er howl. The merchant who takes advant- age of daily newspaper advertising can inform everyone--every day-- that his store is alive with opportu- nities for the buyer. The honeymoon season will soon be here and the wise young man will remember that the amount of 'honey' nearly always depends on the amount of money. Nowadays an advertisement may be defined, says an English paper, as the picture of a pretty girl eating, | wearing, holding or driving some- thing that somebody wants to sell. The fire loss in Canada last year represented' about $3.42 per capita of the population, or about ten times the ratio that prevails in Europe. Ca- nadians are in great need of educa- tion along lines of fire prevention. With a debt of over $128,000,000 the Ontario government, instead of reducing expenditure, largely in- creases it and at the same time im- poses additional taxes. One wonders what has become of the economy that ithe farmers were going to practice. The death of jazz is proclaimed in England. That's something to be grateful for.

Thus. the international problem, how to stren- gthen world-peace in the future, can have no hope of solution until the map of Europe is re-drawn on sound lines of nationality, but with guaran- tees for other factors, too, such as religious and racial minorities, and until the peoples of world are ready to intervene actively in the fu- ture, every time that settlement is en- dangered. | "Certainly this requires that at | least in the two peoples of the Bri- i tish and the United States, every in- | telligent man should have some ap- preciation of the danger and the con- sequent duty it imposes on him. How is this possible without a far more educated public? "Can we take off the baser sort of politician, the dark methods of the caucus, the secret funds and the sale {of honors without weakening the | practicability antl the efficiency of | the two-party system? Is it not mani- |fest that a democracy that has to solve these problems must be an edu- cated democracy?" The editor of the Maple Leaf is strongly of the opinion that the point raised by Prof. Stewart and by the report quoted are of very great consequence, especially in countries like our own, and shows that steps {are being taken by some.

Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER to CONTENTMENT. When sets the good old shining | | sun, thus winding up another day, if | | 1 have left some chore undone, I do | | not feel serene and gay. Beneath my | figtree I reeline, and try to read some | helptul tract, but in this old bald | dome of mine there bobs up one dis- turbing fact. I did not fix the kitchen roof, which lets in nineteen kinds of rain; and so contentment keeps aloof, and all my thoughts are tinged with pain. I cannot read "The Cloven Hoof," or other novels, good or flat; 1 did not fix the leaking roof, and I { can only think of that. The almanac | has jest and spoof, o'er which I ought to roundly laugh; but I neglect- fed that old roof, and conscience is a | bitter gaff. When all my duties are performed according to the rules of | Hoyle, my heart with ecstacy is warmed, the rich reward of honest toil. With duty done one can, in truth, the evening hours in peace em- ploy, and I can read of Nick, the Sleuth, without a cloud upon my joy. There may be men who do not care what they have done or left undone, when from the festful easy chair they watch the' setting of the sun. But peace won't camp upon my brow if I recal}], at close of day, that I have failed to groom the cow, or give the old blue goose her hay. And I am glad I'm fashioned thus, though 1 may miss a lot of fun; I don't admire the careless cuss who recks no hoot for tasks undone. --WALT old br: my boy, you one do Mercy! rn Fed came put with a rush tih slush, The Co The sidewalk was covered w She slipped in the slop, She did a flip-flop-- Have mercy!
