It may look easy; the theory of corporate operation may look at- '| tractive and alluring, but it has been only in rare instances that it has been worked out successfully. The farm that is siccessful owes that success to the family idea 2s a foun- dation. There must be close co-oper- ation on. the part of all of the mem- bors of the group.

Farming is safe as long as this family initiative is shown. -- PORTRAITS ON MEMORIAL COINS. -- President Coolidge, of the United States, is to have his portrait on the special memorial half dollar to be 4% d as part of the observance of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Not only will this be the first in- st#nce of the use of a president's likeness on a coin of the United States government during his term of office but also authorities at the mint say, it will be the first time in American history that a living presi- dent'will have been so honored. Legislation authorizing the half- dollar and a $2.50 gold plece also commemorative of the Declaration of Independence, specified that not more than 1,000,000 of the former should be minted and not more than 250,000 of the latter. The half-dol- 'I lars will be struck and issued only in accordance with the demand for them. The Lincoln penny is an instance of the use of a former president's portrait on a coin. A Grant memor- ial half-dollar was issued in 1922, the 100th anniversary of. General Grant's birth. -- START YOURSELF. Most of us, make the mistake of waiting for someone to tell us to do something, instead of going ahead and doing it. With few exceptions, we can do for ourselves everything that anyone else can do for us, is the conviction 'of Mr, William Feather In a recent article. Begin now to do what you think you can Don't wait for someone to hold your hand. Step out. If you are blessed with any intelligence at all, tent as he field. Just a little talent, combined with genuine industry and persistence, will carry almost any person to a fair degree of success. The chiet difference between those who get somewhere and those who get no- where is that the former have the courage to make an early start. a short time you are as ¢ you'll be amazed to Souls in' DO COLLEGES BREED RADICALS? Does college education breed radi- cals? This is a charge of business men in United States cities. An edu- cated man, observes a defender of colleg@s, is one who by study, obser- vation or otherwise, has broadened his horizon, lifted himself above petty prejudices and gained some- thing of an understanding of IiT& and its values. If he is to be con- sidered educated . at all, he must know something of all aspects of the civilization in which he lives; he must appreciate its merits and re- alize its faults, so that the merits may be perpetuated and the faults corrected, That being the case, why, in the name of common sense, is it not a function of a college or university "to investigate the social and &co- nomic evils of its state and set the student upon the problem of curing such evils?" There is one certain way to rid the country of radicals. It happens that there is only one, but it is sure. Eliminate all injustice, all soul-de- stroying toil and all of the suffering that is not grounded in the very bases of life--and you will have no more radicals. For the existence of the radical there is something be sure, with the No corpor- EDITORIAL NOTES. A man who 1 marries for PAST, earns it.

An American paper avers: "It makes no difference how many Cana- dians vote against prohibition; the ginger ale people will still make 'Canada Dry'." » Magnified by the superstethoscope one's heartbeats are said to sound like "a fat lady in slippers." We could say something, but we refrain because we see wheeziness and a slipper! z Many a girl will thank the Prince of Wales for putting an emphasis on the prophesy of the old conplet: In the storms of life, when you neéd an umbrella, May you have to uphold it, a hand- some young fellow. Seven nations owe to Britain war debts aggregating $10,098,000,000. Britain owes the United States a war debt of $4,800,000,000. It looks like a balance on the right side; but Britain intends to pay the whole of her debt, while she knows that only a small proportion of the debts ow- ing her will be paid. * The Financial Post, Toronto, is shouting for another election to cir- cumvent thé "radical views' of po- litical factions. It says Canadian business demands it. What are the "radical views"? Are they in the speech from thes Throne? This is the only expression of policy given since the general election of October last. It certainly is mild in statement and its proposals in the main, are but those that should have been attended to years ago. Their support certainly has ex- cited no wrath on the part of. the electorate, rather it is a source of much satisfaction. Another election is not yet due nor desired. News, py Views. Very Little.

La Presse draws attention to the necessity of vigorous action by Cana- petition of Australia in the British market. "premier Bruce, -of Australia, states that his Governmext has come to an understanding with the manu- facturers of the country whereby $250,000 a year is to be spent in a campaign of publicity with the" ob- ject of making known the Australien goods that are avaflable to the Brit- ish market. Obviously the Com- mon wezlth which is a strong com- petitor. of Canada, is not going to neglect anything that will enhance its chances of success and capture as large a number as possible of British customers. Will Canada follow this example? It is to be hoped so. If we af: to keep our end up, it is indispensable that we should advertise Canadian goods. after having taken the necessapy measures to be sure that these goods leave nothing to be desired alike 'as 'to 'their quality and the manner in which they are packed. An aggres- sive policy is needed, and if it I is pot pursued we risk losing the advant- ages that have been obtained in re- cent years. "The Province of Quebec, thanks to the reorganization of its office in London, is in a good position to re- act to the advertising campaign that the Government and the manufaa- turers of Australia have undertaien. Our products have already made and | maintain the position and push the advantage still further English con- sumers have been able to reciate, for example, the excellenfe of Que- bec cheese, and we must endeavor unceasingly to even increase thi quality of that article by edoriing improved methods and porfecting ac- tual installations. 'Then' we must exercise great care in engag'vZ only agents who are thoroughly qualified, and capable of representing us worthily and pushing the sale of our products. This is an essential point if we are to figure with credit on the British market. Not to attach suf- ficient importance to this fact is to be condemned in advance to a cer- tain set-back." BEER IN VANCOUVER. vancouver Province (Southern Paper). If Mayor Louis D. Taylor had never done anything else but wear a red necktie and defend the the city of Vancouver against attacks .upon her 'morality, launched by irrespon- sible persons in the eastern press, he would have amply justified his mag- {stracy. It is announced that the Toronto Star has quoted Rev, J. Rich- mond Craig as saying that he would rather have bars than' beer 'parlors, girls going into them with men to drink strong beer. If Rev. J. Richmond Craig has been able to discover strong beer in any of the Vancouver beer parlors he is a luckier man and a more persist- ent seeker than I am..

It keeps the people contented, it gets them in the proper mood for argument upon political adventures, and leads them to right and proper conclusions upon those arguments. The only great slur upon the city of Vancouver in this respect is that it is impossible under the agreement between the brewers that has been achieved by the Government to pro- vide good beer for the consumption of the people. in denying Mr. Craig's statement that a friend of his had seen as many as 18 tipsy women on one street car, the mayor may be a little out of his reckoning. It is conceivable that there may on one night have been 18 tipsy women in Vancouver and that they may by some extraordinary coincidence have been on one street car. But it is certain that they did not get tipsy in any known Vancou- ver beer parlor. APEX Canned Fruits Canned Vegetables In tins and glass.
