_SATURDAY, DEC. 3, 1021, \ THE DAILY BRITISH. WHIG. é Mr. Campbell has in his hands the threads of many important matters, such as the improved harbor and other subjects, which it would be most unwise to remove from his careful handling. --From the Standard, of Feb. 27th, 1920 Mr. J. M. Campbell made an excellent Chairman (at the Citizens' Banquet), and he 'was fittingly the chairman, as he has thrown so much energy, time and careful thought into the service of the city. . ¥ --From the Standard, of March 10th, 1920 -- yf % ess -------- If you believe what the Standard says about Mr. Campbell, ~~ you'll vote for him, won't you? Uncle Gus A young man with a swagger in % his walk and an obvious desire to ' seem very sophisticated and wick- ed, stood at the cigar case to select a package of cigarettes. While Un- cle Gus waited, the young man talk- ed, and each sentence began and ended with an oath, When the young man had gone his way, Uncle Gus resumed his seat 'on the counter and gnawed off a generous, help- ing of natural leaf. "Cussin'," sald he, "is a funny thing. It don't help matters none, an' when folks cusses like that young fellow done, just to show off, it ruts one in a' right smart o' misery; but lots o' times it seems like a body has just got to say somethin' or bust. I reckon it's "mostly a habit, though, "Old John Billings was a pow'ful wicked man afore he was converted, an' cussed a heap; and when he jined the church he told 'em he wasn't goin' to make no promises he could- n't keep. He sald he knowed he was saved by the blood o' the Lamb, but he had got used to cussin' an' they'd have to take him in with' the under- standin' that he was to cuss when he mashed his thumb or scmethin', They done it, too. John didn't mean no harm by it; he had just cussed 80 long it come kind o' natural to 'im. "I don't believe in cussin' unless you're handlin' mules, A mule ain't got sense enough to learn nice talk, but he understands cussin' from the time he's big enough to stand up. I had a mule oncet that always got tired about an hour by sun and plump. give out. Seemed like he couldn't go another foot. But when I lit in an' cussed fo' him, just mild an' steady, he perked up like a show hoss does when the band plays. Seemed like it done him a sight o' good. "I seen in the paper the other day where women was gittin' the cussin' habit. That's mighty bad business. I'd just as soon see one chawin' to- bacco as to hear one cuss. | "I knowed a good woman oncet, , though, that cussed to make her hus- band stop doin' it, They hadn't been married more'n a week or so when she found out he cussed. She didn't say nothin' fo' a spell, an' then one day when the' was company in the house her husband come to the kitchen do' an' says: 'Nancy, where in hell is that there saw o' mine.' [ reckon maybe she felt right bad, it bein' befq' company like that; but 'Dammed if I know, Ho:zey.' broke him, too. "If cussin' does any good, I wouldn't blame folks fo' doin' ft; but when somethin' bad happens an' it seems like cussin' is necessary, the' ain't no cuss words in common use that /seems to do the situation Justice." | Americanism There are many breeds of cattle, dogs and chickens, and very fgw of them are the result of natural selé:- tion. They are made breeds--the re- sult of many crosses and scientific study. Many years were required to produce a bulldog that would hold -- a hen that would lay 300 eggs iv a year--a steer that would dress 1,200 pounds. The American is a made breed. He is a mixture of Teuton, Saxon, Celt, Latin, and only Heaven knows what else, and he isn't a distinct type in size or coloring; yet he is distiact from all other peoples by reason of the manly heart that is.in him. Here is a man who, being worsted in a fight, follows his enemy after dark and places a knife in his back. Is he American ? Ybu know he is not. Here is another who, being em- bittered by failure, fashions a bomb and times it to blow up a public building when he is safely gone. Is he American ? No more than a vipdr is an eagle. | Here is a foreman who bullies his | men and cringes in servile fashion when the boss appears. American ? He doesn't know the first principle of Americanism. The American isn't a bully; he champions the under dog as natur- ally as a duck swims. And he isn't a pouter or a skulker, If he doesn't like his boss, he doesn't sneak into an alley to express his opinion. He looks the boss in the eye, resigns, and suggests that he go where Dante saw the wolf, It isn't his nature to take cover. He gfihts in the open takes pun- ishment without whining, grins when Fate lands a blow on his ear, and leads promptly for the chin when you call him a liar.

People have been "emancipated'whatever that means, The contracting parties withdrew from the world in the old days and set up a little world of their own; they shared one another's pleasures and sorrows, and were sufficient .nto themselves; and there wasn't much chance for an eternal triangle unless they took in a boarder. But matrimony 'no longer inter- feres with established methods of having a good time. Long before the plate has worn from the solid silver gravy ladies received from dis- tant relatives, the groom has fallen into the habit of going out after nightfall to have a hot time with his old flames, and the bride has re- sumed the practice of serving after- noon tea to her gentlemen friends while clothed in negligee and a wist- ful atmosphere, and permitting them to hold her hand while she tells the sad story of her married life, Once a married woman lets anoth- er man hold her hand, it doesn't take her long to discover that her husband doesn't understand her. And once a man begins to tell his troubles to another woman, it doesn't take him long to discover that his wife is too shallow to appreciate him. ~ The theory is that people get di- vorces to escape a union that has become unbearable. More frequently they get divorces because they have picked out other mates; and they wouldn't accept divorce if the law re- fused them a permit to experiment the second time. . ) ------ Aunt Het "When Pa buys a hog, he always wants to know how well-bred it is; but when a young feller comes courtin' one o' the gals, Pa wants to know how well-heeled he 1s." Deacon Hardtop Deacon Hardtop has at last per- suaded the church to buy a piano for the Sunday school. The instrument came from the city and cost $650, including the Deacon's commission.

Will this class deny itself the necessities and luxuries you have to sell? 62,062 immigrants entered Canada during the first six months of 1921 Those from the United States alone brought $8,755,203 in cash and effects. The other fifty per cent., mainly British- bom, have corresponding needs and the money to satisfy them. Therefore, is it not plain, buginess sense to use DAILY NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING to secure sectional or national demand? The daily news-. paper moves the goods five to ten times more quickly and more economically: than any other medium because it is the daily buying counsel of all classes. of people. +" Isuued by the Canadian Daily Newapapers Association.
