Engineers pre- dicted the Mississippi, already at flood stage, would reach all-time highs as floods from the Ohio surge into it within a day or two. _ «Federal troops entered Louisville, Ky. last night to enforce 'military discipline in a flood-stricken city where food rioting has rted. At the time the first detachment of regulars arrived at wman Field the death toll was rising sharply. Thirteen per- sons were known to have died since Friday in Louisville of disease and exposure. Four babies were said to be in a critical condition. The Ohio river stood stationary temporarily at 56.9 feet there, bringing hope that perhaps the flood crest had arrived. The Federal troops were brought in at the request of Louisville Mayor __ANeville Miller, who was anxious to reinforce weary police and The regular army was not taking over the city, and only martial law prevailing in Kentucky was that which was proclaimed by Governor A. B. Chandler. A total of 600 regular army troops are due in Louisville, most of them from Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.

The danger of making education too easily attainable, is fore- geen by President H. J. Cody in the proposed Youth 'Act to be pre- sented at an early date, probably next week, in the House -of Commons. "The Act appears to be a sort of requisition for com- plete maintenance. The best students in the past have been those who have done something to help themselves. There is al- ready too much spoon-feeding in our education', Dr. Cody com- 'mented, The act proposed that funds should be providéd for meedy students in secondary schools and universities, to cover fees, tuition and books, together with living expenses "as.may be "Plarger scholarships, I see a grave danger in making opportunities] __ too easy and too many. Many of our-students in this-university'" ! { he said, referring to the University of Toronto, "and-in Canadian ' universities generally, I would say, have to earn something by wholly for their expenses. It seems to me that if anything is los$ as a result in scholarships, it is gained in moral strength, self-reliance and the preparation for life." Bye 3 : '+. Revision of Alberta's industrial code legislation was forecast -by Premier: Aberhart, who announced a,general code covering service trades would be introduced at the February session of the Legislature. Meanwhile 'the price schedules of existing service codes will be dropped, because the Government does not believe the time opportune to increase prices. = Premier Aberhart issued the - following statement: "The provisions of the Trade and Industry Act relating to codes were intended to enable businesses and trades "to govern themselves. Groups and associations were to be formed, with whose executives the Government would deal, and enforce- ment of such rules as might be made would he the responsibility of the industry, the Government being called only to deal with habitual violators after other means had béen exhausted. "At "Fhe request of several industries, codes have recently been enacted which, in addition to regulating unethical practices, embodies 'minimum price schedules. It has been found, in many instances, that instead of the members of the industry affected explaining the necessity for the scale of prices established, the Government has been blamed for raising prices, and this at a time when the purchasing power of Alberta citizens is at a low ebb. "From the trial period it is evident that the time is not opportune for the #itablishment of price schedules, and these portions of the codes in queestion will be rescinded. The purchasing power of those engaged as primary producers will need to be increased to a fair and equitable level before consideration can be given to price- fixing in other lines," " LN BJ nt 2 8till weak from an attack of influenza, Germany's ex-Kaiser ilhelm, on the threshold of his 78th birthday, has abandoned his daily walk in the ancient parks around Doorn manor and his early morning workout at the wood pile.

Port's first goal was scored when Jack Beare passed to Jack Cooney in front of the Cannington net and he slapped it in. ; The second goal was scored when Bill Heayn passed to Bert DeShane in front of the goal, the puck striking his skate and deflected into the net. Lorne Beare in goal, was clearihg the puck with both hands, let it slip out forward which caused referee P. Reesor to place a penalty shot. But Beare succeeded in blocking the speed- ing missle. > Second Period Port Perry scored a third goal when A.

Its value does not lie ir the en- tranced throngs who come to hear an interesting subject threshed out, and who have come to root for friends who may take either side, nor in the plaudits received by the winners, but the true value lies in the enrichment of the debaters themselves, In the same manner as cheering crowds gather or: the campus as your university or school competes for su- prémacy in some athletic contest it is not which side wins that counts in the long run but in the players themselves who after a strenuous trainng emerge from the ordeal with strengthened bodies better equipped to meet the or- deal of everyday life. These contests are merely examina- tion periods which show the result of the training, As physical training develops the body so debating enriches the mind, not on the evening of the contest alone but, in the hours spent in earnest re- 'search work, to see things as others see them, to know the value of team work, to enrich one's vocabulary, to have an ardent desire to be or: the winning side, to have the capacity to be able to take it on the chin. un- flinchingly and for the training ore géts of playing cricket in everyday life, all these things are of immense value to one on the threshold of life, A confiident debater to a Iarge ex- tert loses his stage fright in his eagerness for the fray for if he knows his subject that self-conseiousness which holds so many back, who would be public speakers, cease in a large measure to exercise its dominion over you--which is a tremendous asset. It also trains one to think upon his feet ard rakes him quick witted which is an accomplishment not to be sneered at and equips one with a bet- ter ability for repartee if he is not so naturally gifted. ' Even if you lose, you win, for it teaches the debater to turn deféat into victory and shows up one's de- fects. and: erables him to turn his stumbling blocks into stepping stones of success and also gives one a well balanced intellect so much in demand in these strenuous days of fierce com- Ye fb BF ee ES R= PNAS EE pr = SCHOOL DAYS By ANNABELLE BAIRD The, meeting of the Literary Society | given last Friday by first form was an outstanding success. Miss Thomp- son deserves credit for the careful training she gave the first form girls to transform them into charming and graceful Belgian, Danish, Swedish, English and Canadian dancers. The girls entered for the first scene, a Belgian one in waists, bodices and preposterous: skirts in every colour of the rainbow and some it can't boast of. -The scene was a typical Danish one preceding the dance whe nthe girls and boys wind through the streets toward the square sirging some folk songs. The song chosen for this occasion was Mik Ket- ven, a Belgian marching song. Four girls presented a Swedish clap dance, and _all the girls entered to give a Danish "folk dance called "Ace of Diamonds". A familiar English country dance called "Black Nag" came next, and then a medley of ow own familiar square . dance tunes played by Jack Hope with his violin, David Pickard "with his harmonica and Ivan Rogers at the piano. They resembled hill-billies complete with straw-hats, overalls and rubber boots. Fred Densham acted as caller for the square dance.

AT William Ross 'Called by Death On January 21st, there passed away at his home 65 Glen 'Road, Toronto, William: Ross, a former well known business man of Port Perry. Mr. Ross came to Port Perry from Prince Albert, when his father Mr. Mr, Aaron Ross, moved his business from that place to Port Perry. After the death of the father Mr. Wm. Ross took over the grain and general store busines which was run under the name of A. Ross & Son. In 1911 Mr. and Mrs. Ross retired and moved to Toronto, where they became prominent workers in Eaton Memorial Church, and Mr. Ross be- came well known in business circles. William Ross was not only well known as a business man but took an active part in public and church life. He was superintendent of the Port Perry Methodist Church for many years as well as a member of - the church board. He served on the town council and was reeve for several terms. He was Liberal member of the House of Common from 1900 to 1904, during the Laurier regime. He was past president of the South On- tario Liberal Assaciation.. For many years he was president of the Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby. He married Clarissa Bingham of Bradford, who survives. Also sur- viving are one son, Walter, Escondido, California; threa daughters, Gertrude B. Ross, Supt. of Wellesley Hospital, Toronto; Mrs. H. C. Cowdray, of Regina} Mrs. A. T. Sparks, Alemeda, California; five brothers, Robert, Charles A. and Dr. John F., al of To- ronto; James A., of Oshawa; and Fred of Springfield.' SSP -- -- --- AN APPRECIATION OF MR. WILLIAM ROSS Mr. Editor: As an old associate in business for fifteen. years, I desire to pay tribute {tothe late William Ross, who died at his "home, 55 Glen Road, Toronto, on 'Thursday last; at the age of 81 years. I have mingléd {with business men in all walks of life, but have no know- ledge of any person I could hold in such high esteem as our late lamented friend. Being much younger, and in his companionship so long, at least some of his outstanding business traits of character could not help but linger, and for which I am greatly indebted. He often repeated such maxims as these to those who worked with him: "Prompt care of obligations one's greatest financial asset." "Your word should be as good as your bond." "If you are convinced you are right, do not be influenced by any party." 'Be strictly honest. Do not accept any- thing that is the property of someone else." Ct His pure, kind, tender heart, is well remembered by all citizens who knew him. He would not enjoy a Christmas dinner if he knew of any person in the village in want, and to ascertain relative information, I well remember his standing instruction to the late Mr. McKnight, to check things over, and hand him a list for attention, and his left hand never knew what his right hand did. He was a strong supporter of the Methodist church, and his long years: of labor as Sunday School Superin- tendent was a character builder. In the city of Toronto he was out- standing and especially in his labors in Timothy Eaton Memorial Church as evidenced by the magnificent floral tributes surounding his casket, the kind references made by his pastor, , Rev. Dr. D.. A, MacLennon, and the large: congregation in attendance at the funeral services held at 10 a.m. Saturday. : A large number of friends as- sembled at the family plot in Prince Albert where the last rites were con- , ducted by our pastor Rev.
