'The circulation of THE BRITISH WHIG is authenticated by the ABO ladies who say they would rather be "Mary Magdalem, who enjoyed al! the sins of the world," and yet was the last. This must be considered a frivolous answer, but it yet shows the frequent preference of women for the difficult Process of eating their cake and having it, too. Such matters, one must remember, are all bound up and involved with the pe- culiar feminine perogative of chang- ing one's mind. 3 -- 3 UPS AND DOWNS OF DEFLATION. One feature of price deflations which laymen are inclined ito over- | look is that the prices of different articles do not go down at the same rate. To illustrate the point, it may be said that the 1913 dollar, which | @t the beginning of 1920 may have been worth, on the average, about fifty cents, is now worth, on the av- '|erage, about seventy-five cents; but if particular commodities are taken into aecount it may be worth only fifty cents in buying coal or brick, a little less than one hundred cents in buying leather, coke or steel bil- ets, something like a dollar seventy-five cents in buying tin, and | six or seven dollars in buying rub- | ber, Obviously the manufacturer forgiven and came into sainthood at | and | have paid it for a tent, or for a states 11y hall; some landlord took it, cent | by cent, and left your bundle small. | and left. you feeling sore, for yon | were needing every yen to buy things {at the store; and every month hé | {came again, and took away some | more.

' A Romeén newspaper has lathly Published the avowed preference of th eo Bes - many of its women readers in re- &pect to what woman they would like to be, among all others. According to the report, a majority say they would rather be Eve, the first wo- bg Wan, because she had mo nival to "| ter situation than he who has to buy most other commodities. Builders, or rather those who buy from build- spent for brick and lumber. Averages ane easy to arrive at, and it is a simple matter to show that the aver- age man can buy more with his dol- lar than he could a Year ago. The trouble ds that there %¥s no average man. At least, there is no average business man, -- a A MARE'S NEST. | the 10th inst. representation of the government in- come tax department and of the Can- article in question exceeds anything but the utterances of the most intem- lowest methods to poison the minds of gullible people. Under the title "Vested interests escapes income tax," the Sun stated Company was escaping income tax on a new stock dividend of twenty per cent. distributed to shareholders, quoting the folowing circular letter to shareholders announcing the aec- tion of the company: "We beg to advise you in accord- ance with intimations already given, that it has been decided to capitalize a portion of the surplus of the com- pany, and to issué fully paid common stock in respect thereof to the com- mon shareholders by way of a stock in dividend of twenty per cent...... You will be pleased to know, that under the circumstances of this dis- tribution, the company has obtained a ruling from the dominion income tax department that the same is not to be deemed a taxable dividend in the hands of the shareholders and need not be included in their tax re- turns for the year 1920." The Sun accuses the company of having "pull" with the government and asks "Is it because they (the directors) represent Big Interests that their- stock bonuses are made free from income tax?" Sir Henry Drayton showed the ut- ter falsity of the imputations which anyone with an attom of common sense can see are absolutely without foundation. The Canaefan General Electric Company needed capital and instead of calling upon the share- holders for it, it passed the dividend that would have been distributed and rtilized the surplus for capital, in the same way that the U.F.0. Co- operative stores,al] over Ontario did this year at their annual meetings when expectant shareholders were doomed to disappointment when urg- ed to consent to their dividends being kept in use as capital, Did anybody accuse the shareholders of the co- operative stores of trying to cheat the income tax department? No, be- cause their profits had been convert- ed into capital and would not be taxable as income until actually paid over to them, The Canadian-General Electric Company while utilizing the surplus in exactly the same way gave its shareholders the equivalent of thelr share in .a stock certificate. It might be worth something, and it might not, but thete would be no taxable "income" until the interest on it was paid. This is a glaring example of the unscrupulous methods to which de- cent farmers are exposed, and which are calculated to excite and foster class hatred for political purposes. perate fanaticism which stoops to the | that the Canadian Genera] Electric | ens, are badly off, partly because the | dollars is still below par when it is Sir Henry Drayton, in a published | letter to the Farmer's Sun, punctur- | ed the bubble of Jurid hue presented | to the readers of that paper©in a | front page editorial in its issue of | For deliberate mis- | : | Do They adian General Electric Company, the | MISS CECIL LEITCH The world's greatest golfer, leaves on Saturday on her visit to Canada and the United States.

A. Stewart or W. C. Johnston. Brockville, Aug. 29.-- The Execu- tive of the United Farmers of Leeds holding of a convention to contest the riding of Leeds and Brockville unti] 'some decision is given as to whether a by-election here will pre- cede a general election. Although W, C. Johnston, Lynd- hurst has announced that he will be a candidate at the Conservative con- vention, it is generally understood that the nomination will go to H. A. Stewart, K.C., Brockville, who has been secretary of the riding associa- tion and prominent in the councils of the party for many years. He is a former law partner of the late Hon. John F. Wood, minister of customs and inland revenue in the Conserva- tive cabinet prior to 1896. rr Roy Cardiff Arrested. Brockville, Aug. 29.--The Soldiers' Aid Commission was responsible for the arrest in a tent near Kemptville of Roy Cardiff, who was charged with having children in an immoral place. The children are daughters of Alexander Johnston, a local re- turned soldier now in a hospital suf- fering from shell shock. The mother and children left here last spring in company of Cardiff and since then the commission had endeavored to locate the children, The latter have now been placed in an Ottawa institu- tion and Cardiff allowed to gO. -------- In the Fruit Belt. (Hamilton Herald) Corn at 15 cents a cob, tomatoes at 20 cents a dish, fruit, canned at 20 cents a dish; onions 20 cents a dish--it sounds more like prices they are charging in famfhe<striken Rus- sia than in a city in a land of plenty, and the centre of a famous garden and fruit belt. It is certainly any- thing but a good advertisement for the "garden of Canada." One con- troller suggested a ten pér cent. re- duction. It is hoped the police com- missioners will not be satisfied with that, i Cheap At Any Price.
