Raymond, member of parliament for the city of Brantford, has once again emphasized the fact that a new type of politician is coming into prominence in Canada. Mr. Ray- mond, elected as a Liberal to re- present a city which is essentially a manufacturing centre, and which de- | pends very largely on the manufac- ture of agriculjural implements, took occasion to turn agalnst his own leader and to suggest that the an- nounged policy of reducing tariffs on agricultural implements be aban- doned in the interests of the con- stituency he represents. While it is nothing new, perhaps, for a mem- | E P P {they ber to put up the strongest possible fight for the constituency which elected him to parliament, it is un- usual for a member of the govern- ment side of the house to make so complete an attack upon his leader, ahd to go so far as to suggest that the leader might be changed with advantage. Mr. Raymond's coursé is undoubt- edly a bold one, but it shows very clearly that there is a type of politic- ian in the present house of commons which was not found there up to a not very far distant period, mene. stuck to their thick and thin. Even if they did not agree with the view expressed in the party's policy, the kept silent about it, and were ob&dlent to the crack of the party whip. Of late years, how. ever, men have grown more inde- pendent in thelr political thoughts: They have felt themselves free to express their own convictions, even if that meant opposing the policy of the political party they support in the house, and on whose platform they were elected. Mr. Raymond, it he believed that the policy of his party was detrimental to the inter- ests of Brantford, undoubtedly did the right thing in expressing his con- victions as strongly as he did. In doing so he was showing that he was a man who thought for himself, who would not.allow himself to be led in the direction he did not want to go, and that he owed allegiance, first of all, to his constituents. That is the most important factor which .shines out in the protest of Mr. Raymond. Little importance can be attached to his remarks regarding dropping the pilot from the ship of state. He probably realizes, as the other Liberals do, that Premier King is just as anxious to safeguard the in- 'terests of Canadian industry as are the manufacturers, Mr. King and Mr. Fielding are not the type of men who would do anything to hinder the progress of any industry in Can- ada. Their actions all tend to show that they are keeping watch on conditions industrially in Canada, and this is clearly demonstrated by the great increase in Canadian com- merce, both in imports and exports, since the King government came into power. What will be done with the tariff is a nigtter for the future to decide, but the people of Canada may rest assured that the question has been thoroughly studied from all angles, and that any changes made will be made with a view to doing the greatest good to the greatest number of people within the domin- fon, ROMANCES OF ADVERTISING. There is an almost endless story of great achievement, actual produc. tion and superlative performamce back of that now prosaic slogan, "It pays to advertise." Slogans in busi- ness arg not always substantiated by subsequent events, just as guaran- tees do not always hold water, but the business has not been found in which' "advertising does not pay." What. capital is to industry, what rainfall is to farm soil, advertising is to business. Advertising is as neces gary to national distribution as the railroads. Speak of goodwill in business and you really mean reputation. Repu- tation in modern business is attend- ed only through the co-ordination of merit of product, scientific busimess methods and adequate advertising. In 1886 twenty-five gallons of a soft drink syrup called Coco-Cola Wag sold for $25. From this sale the first Coca-Cola advertisement was paid for.© The original company sold its goodwill for $30,000,000. Millions are spent with profit for adventising in the magazines and newspapers of this country anflually. Once it was the custom to advertise new products in a small way, in. creasing the advertising and broad. ening its scope as business results wartanted. To-day, where capital is avallable, there is no longer the cautious venturing into the water. Big business now strikes for the deep water first. "The first Wrigley"s gum advt.| cost $33---the company's entire capi tal. The Waterman Fountain Pen ompany star ess with a $62.62 publicity campaign, and the Hupp Motor Corporation with a $100.65 campaign. In 1890 the Bor- den Co. appropriated $513.75 tor ad- vertising. All of these internation- ally known corporations now spend millions annually for advertising in newspapers, magasines and in other forms, » Advertising built a large factory for the Royal Baking Powder Co., | call of sport will be strong.

Winter le:ves us, but it is not cers tain that March will be lamblike for the rest of its term. Nevertheless, the first- day spring brings a renewal of hope even to the most skeptical of weather prophets. The sun is getting higher and hotter, the days are growing longer and belated cold spells are of brief duration. There are many worse places, climatically speaking, than Kingston. The extremes of tem- perature here are not so great as are elsewhere. Our coldest days do not freeze, nor our hottest broil, as in some "parts." Take the year around, we have an extraordinary number of days in which life in the open air is pleasant. The smiles of temperamental nature. are sure to be more frequent for the next eight months than her frowns. This city is peculiarly blest in the beauty of the surrounding country and in the open spaces within its own limits. From henceforth the Every- body has the habit of grumbling at But now that spring When | is really here a word of appreciation party through | is in order, THE LEAGUE JUSTIFIED. Those who are strong believers in the League of Nations, and in its efficacy as a medium for the preven- tion of wars, found much to encour- age them in their views in the work accomplished at a session of council of the League held a few days ago 'at Geneva. That day's work had been recognized as the biggest in the history of the council, and it is looked upon by authorities as clear proof of the usefulness of the organization as a mechanism for international conciliation and arbi- tration, A review of the work done in that one day is staggering when it is, realized that many of the items con. cerned countries. which only a few days ago were bitter enemies. To 80 into full details of all of the items would make tedious reading, but a summary of them is of interest. The League settled the conflict over Memel, a Baltic port which has pre- sented a dangerous problem since the great war ended. It definitely launched a programme for the re- construction of Hungary by inducing the Little Entente of Balkan nations to sign an agreement governing this. It advanced the cause of European peace by inducing Poland and Ger- many to agree to arbitrate thelr differences in case they are unable to reach an agreement by direct ne- gotiations. This latter question is an important one, affecting the welfare of some 200,000 German residents in Poland. It satisfactorily disposed of the frontier conflict between Czecho- Slovakia and Rumania; it solved the conflict between Poland and Danzig, which is now under League control, and its mediation resulted in Hun- gary, Czecho-Slovakia, Rumania and Jugo-Slavia coming to agreements on many problems toward consolidating peace in southern Europe. The above outline of the work ac- complished shows in no uncertain manner that the League is becoming a potent factor in governing the af- fairs of the world, The full value of this work of a day can be gauged when it is realized that in days gone by any one of the questions would have been sufficient in itself to cause a disastrous war. Some of them are of.far greatér Impnrtance to the nations concerned than were: the causes of the great war to the nations which precipitated the con- flict. Yet, through the good offices of the League, in the space of a one- day session, they were settled to the satisfaction of all the parties in- volved. The work of the League is the greatest proof of its justification and of the need which existed in the world for such an international or- ganization, It must be remembered, too, that this work was done by only one sec- tion of the League. Besides the council, the body which dealt with the questions out¥ned above, there are several other branches, all doing equally important work. The labour bureau, the health department, the court of world justice, all offshoots of the League, are doing work which 'makes them powerful forces for the 800d of the world. The League of Nations is a fitting monument to the mefnory of that idealist who concef- ed the idea, the late Woodrow Wil- son, and the pity is that the country which produced the genius who in- spired it has remained aloof trom its activities, PRESS COMMENT Who Can Draw the Line?

In most cases where the average man is in business for himself, hia investments are really reserves for his business. They were probably accumulated during good times when the money was not needed in the business. He is likely to need that money when times are hard. When such times come he will want most of that money, not just a small part of it. Stocks fall swiftly and tney will probably be low at the time he will need his money. Gilt edge bonds, on the other hand, decline relatively little. The safety of his business de- mands that the average man invest in gilt edge bonds. I -------------- | WHY THE WEATHER? DR. CHARLES ¥. BROOKS Secretary. American Meteorological Society, Tells How. Spring Showers from Winter Snow. Throughout a large part of the Great Plains region of the United States and Canady; the winter is so cold and dry that only a little snow accumulates before March. The higher Temperatures of early spring, however, allow the air to become more moist; some of the winter snow evaporates, and a somewhat heavier and wetter snowfall takes its place. The spring snow cover, in turn, melts and evaporates, readily furnishing the moisture for spring showers. Much moisture is imported into the intérior from the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere, it is true, but usually the storms pass by too quickly and the wind changes too soon to per- mit a large infiow of 'warm, moist alr, It is largely the stored moisture, gonserved in the snow, that furnishes the valuable spring showers. In the semi-arid regions it is fortunate ¢hat most of the rainfall usually occurs inv April or May just when it is of most value for starting crops. ---------- That Body of - Pours By James W, Baten, MD, 1 Mind Doctors.

Therefore the mind specialist, as I sald above, patiently and kindly questions and questions the patient until he thinks Te has hit upon the cause that started the worrying and depression in the first place. Then if any medical attention is indicated it is given, but in the ma- jority of cases, this "leading out" as it is called gives the physician an inkling to the original cause of the trouble.

MO aoe at appear from Tuesday night's vote in the House of Com- mons that the Opposition has gained anything by bringing in an amend- ment to the address; it does appear, on the contrary, that the govern- ment and the Progressives have gained an advantage which, before the amendment was offered, they did not have, and which;.but for the amendment and the vote thereon, they could have secured. Before [this vote, the government did_not know, with any degree of precision, to what extent it might rely upon Progressive support, or whether, upon a low tariff issue, it could re- tain the support of all its own fol- lowers and bring Liberals and Pro- gressives definitely into line. It knows now, and it may thank the Opposition for the information. The vote, if it means anything, is a man- date, so far as the House of Com- mons is concerned, under which the government may go on with its pro- gramme of tariff reduction, with the comforting assurance of ample sup- port from its Liberal and Progres- sive followers. It has, at least] re- ceived encouragement, and the cause of tariff stability has been propor- tionately prejudiced. & . ---------- A valuable horse owned by the Patterson Constiuction OCo., Belle- ville, was electrocuted on Thursday BIBBY'S | New Gloves Advance Spring Styles Are Here SEE OUR $25.00 TOPCOATS English Gaberdine -- new shades.
