Business was brisk; they were | selling two glasses of lemonade for a | nickel, but their prosperity of course | invited competition. One afternoon when they opened up for business | they gazed across the street and down went their hearts to their bare feet, because slapping them right in their faces was a big pasteboard on which was rudely scrawled "3 big gasses of lemonade for 5 cents." They looked at each other in dis- may; they could see their trade leav- | ing them and their business on the | rocks. One JPually said to his chum, | "Let's go down and talk with the | grocer who sells us our lemons; | maybe he will take bagk the two we have on hand and then we can | close up shop." |" The grocer said, "You boys go | right back to your store and instead | of cutting your price, keep up your| | | quality and you'll find that people | would rather have two glasses of | | 800d lemonade for five cents, than | three glasses of slop at the same | | price."

London Daily Chronicle: A gen- eration ago, when vrganization, both among employers and among trade unionists, began to develop towards its present scaie, it was hoped thar the larger the opposed aggregations were, the fewer the disputes would gain on balancg. This hope has de- finitely not beep realized.

Vancouver Province: When problems of the Motherland studied in conjunction with problems of the Dominions, the solution seems obvious. What is needed is a redistribution of popu- lation. This is admitted. The ques- tion is how to achieve the desired end. Some means of stimulating the flow of immigration is necessary. Just at the time when it should be at its height, it is dwindling. Lord Burnham thinks Canada too fasti- dious. She insists on picking and choosing, and restricts the flow to the Dominion to persons of the type be useful on the farms. But Canada has a horror of bread- lines. Perhaps a more enterprising and courageous policy would bre=g more results. my LOOKING AROUND In a city church on Sunday morn- ing, a clergyman preached about an "open door." Some of the congre- gation thought that a very timely illustration would have been a com- parison with the chained and pad- locked door of a Pittsburgh church, but the minister did not take ad- vantage of the chance. The people downtown need not think that all the bell-ringjng i§ done in their section. The folks in Wil- liamsville say that they have a church bell up there that refuses to allow , them to sleep after eight o'clock on the Sabbath morning. It rings them from their beds and causes even some of the good people to use profane words.
