It was Disraeli who coiled the phrase: "Every man has his price)" He meant that it was possible to buy any man if you would be willing to pay enough for it, when tne nasser tauuted hang Al- bery or wie Beguns with having lost hls whole, the sing rephed: "1 sull ning Leopold, his BUCCESSOr, doULLIvss was galned wealth Dy wis reaches, out he has lost the £o0u opinion or all honorable men ana 13 nuown as a doubie-crosser, 'Lhere 1s a line ot cleavage running Iviin my soul. _ through every bargain, tue commodity on ne one side, and ns exchangeable value on the other, Lhe master or men cried: "What shail it profit u man it he gain the whole world anu lose his own soul.

Ur wnat thing ot ¢qual value do you possess ? © dnt One of our acquaintances, a young emigrant once sant: "When 1 came to ts country | haa nutlink, but now 1 nave a car." When the rich father divided his living between his two sons the "younger of them was decent enough to go to the far counury before he be- gan-to waste his substance in riotous living, fast horses, fast firends, male and temale, until ail his money was spent: then there arose the mighty famine. One thing set off in opposi- tion to the other. The half of the father's estate on the one side and the mighty famine on the other. The famine had been caused by himself. Had he guarded his money there would have been no famine. 'Ihe loss of the "one was the cause © other. The late Rev. C.-H." Spurgeon in one of his books shows a picture of a man gathering up his wealth labor- iously with a spoon, whilst his son flings away his fortune with a shovel. There is much pleasure in gathering of wealth, but once it is acquired the pleasure is passed, and it is not long before it passes into other hands. As a rule that which come through legacy ,or in any other way than by hard labour, is often most difficult to retain. From shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in about three generations is the usual period. He is a wise man who is able to save his hard earned cash, but unleas he has taught his children how to care for it the weulth so gained is a dan- gerous weapon in inexperienced hands unless it can be turned into useful channels. We once knew of a man who by dint slavish savings and wise manipulation acquired millions, When he died he divided his substance be- tween his children, except for a cer- tain amount that he turned into a trust fund, so that if any of his descendants got into financial difficulties they had the privilege of drawing on the inter- est of the trust fund, and had it not been for that trust fund some of his own descendants would be the re- * cipients of charity. It is a wise parent who has saved and has been able to instil into the minds of his offspring the art of the wise disposition of wealth so acquir- ed. There is a big difference between the miserly accumulation of funds and _ the placing of it into such channels as will produce the best results. If a parent tegches his offspring the wise use of wealth, the family acquisition, the rule from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves may be postponed indefinitely. But it requires the wisdom of a Solon to watch with cagle eye that which has been so arduously gathered. The late Andrew Carnegie made the state- ment often that he who dies rich dies disgraced, yet the value of his wealth consisted of untold wealth. So long as a man controls his fin- ances he is safe, but the moment that wealth controls him he is lost. Wealth is a good servant, but a bad master. It was Wesley who said: "Make all you can, save all you can and give all you can and even though you may be worth next to nothing when the end comes you will have done all that is required of you in the distribution of your estate." A man's life does not consist in the abundance of your possessions. Not what you have constitutes your wealth but what you can do without. Some take their savings and go in for a good time and all they have to show for it is a headache. Such a purchase is a poor one. You cannot have your money and spend it too, but you should be able to show (the worth of that money, otherwise you have not received value, you have made a bad bargain. I'rue our capaciues are not all equal, One mun doubles his five talents and one nis two but the third with only ose Jiu not bother to tratlic with his so he simply buried his in the earth and re- turned it to his Maker without even swing interest, in these days of war we see mil- ions oi dollars daily going up in smoke, as if that were not bad enough for there is no profit in that, but in the wake of every shell is destruction and waste and the labor "of genera- tions and priceless works of art are beg ruthlessly destroyed. There is no profit in such a transaction, Sup- pose a person living in Britain at the present time had acquired a fair com- petence when this war broke out and had lovked forward to the spending the sunset of declining days in peace and quietness, and came home today only to find his home, not the castle he left in the morning, but a heap of ruins, After all his life of self-sacri fice and savings he would be led as Solomon to exclaim: 'Vanity of Vanities, all is vanity", and who can tell but what is happening in Britain in our day may not fall to our lot in this fair Dominion, a AL Training Camps Should be Dry (Oshawa Daily Times) Tweny-nine training camps are be- ing set up across Canada for the training of men called up under the new system which has been made pos- sible by reasoil of the complete re- gistration recently carried out. The tirst call will be for unmarried men in the age bracket from 21 to 24 inclu- sive, The Canadian Temperance Federa- tion has appealed to Ottawa auth- orities to rule that these training camps shall be "dry". The Federation, through its secretary, Dr. A. J. Irvin, has pointed out that the purpose of the camps is to train a civilian, not a professional army, and that the youth of those who will be trained for some time to come, is an added rea- son for adopting a dry instead of a wet policy. With this appeal The Times 4s in hearty agreement. There is no rea- sonable excuse or necessity for thrust- ing the sale of intoxicating beverages of any sort under the noses of young 'men who by the thousands have not previously tasted liqugor. The wet canteen in such circumstances cannot by any stretch of imagination make 'better soldiers of these young men. A large industry working on war orders would not tolerate such an idea for a moment. Why should the military authorities hestitate to declare them- selves as favouring the dry policy for these camps. There would be no great difliculty in enforcing such a policy. We venture to suggest that ninety per cent. of the trainees would wel- come the ruling, and would co-operate heartily with it. - This proposal should not be con- sidered as in any sense narrow or bigoted. It is simply based -on sound common sense and fairness to the men who are required to take the training.

Mr, Munro was a form er resident of Bethel, near Seagrave, having moved to Vancouver some twenty-five years ago. He is sur- vived by Mrs. Munro, and two sisters, Mrs. John Mark, Seagrave, and Mrs, Jas. Wallace, of Stavely, Alberta. Interment was made at Vancouver, Canadian Business Increases (Financial Post) Why Canada Looms Large What are some of the reasons why Canada is increasingly the arsenal of the empire? ' : These factors, among others, are apparent to all: I. Canada is relatively safe from the immediate hazards or attack, 'the chief industrial centre of the mpire is Great Britain, But Britain 1s exposed to the everpresent danger of aerial bombardment and even of attempted invasion. An areial blitz- Krieg interrupts the production of es- sential tools of warfare not only. be- cause supplies of materials can be set afire 'by bombs, or because power plants can be destroyed or factories and machinery damaged. Air raids interrupt war work by sending work- men to their shelters, Recently the interruptions have been serious in Britain, But even at the beginning of the war, lone German scouting planes appearing over fac- tory towns in England used to bring about cessation of work that was equivalent to the loss of, say,.a bomb- er or two, or a long-range gun. From the begining, therefore, it has been patent that production of mili- tary equipment for Britain's forces had to be decentralized. The obvious country to turn to first was Canada, 2. Canada is the most highly devel- oped industrial country in the Empire, outside of Britain itself, Our factories produce $3.7 'billions annually of products, almost infinite in variety. We have power and raw materials to supply the factories. Our workers are skilled. In the Great War Canada demonstrated its ability to produde the sinews of war. 3. Canada is the nearest to Britain ot the overseas Dominion. 'This means a lot in speed and cer- tainty of delivery, in economical use of the available ships, whether cargo ships or destroyers to convoy them. In the first year of the war 2,300 ships carried troops, food and muni- tions from Canada to the British Isles. Not a man, not a gun and not a single case of munitions was lost, 4. Canada is not only comparative- ly near to the British Isle, it is also beside the United States. Canada is able to draw upon the in- dustrial skill and resources of the United States for blueprints, machine tools, technical advice, materials, ete. Canadian industry is already well in- tegrated with that of the world's greatest industrial nation. This means a great deal in terms of industrial war strength for the Empire. 5. Finally, Britain's crisis is linked with Canada's need of mobilizing in- dustrially for her own defense. i: The-Battle of France brought Can- of military independence. We 'were suddenly_put very much on our own. We had to build planes, shells, guns and armaments of war for our own security. k Wherever it was possible to combine our own and Britain's need it became wise and ical to bine in building war plants and placing or- ders. That is why the huge $600 millions blueprint of plant expansion and extension now being put into ef- fect by Canada is essentially a joint affair. At times it -is difficult if not impossible to know where British re- quirements stop and Canadian orders begin. Metals for the Asking. » Shortly after war broke out Britain assured herself of adequate base metal supplies by making a year-long agreement with Canadian producers. Under these contracts Britain obtained over a billion pounds of metals--zine, lead and copper--at a saving of some $30 millions below the then prevailing prices. Important contracts were also signed for huge supplies of nichel an auminum, 3 The significant fact about these con- tracts was this: not only did Canada have adequate natural resources to fill these orders, she had sufficient plant capacity to meet the vast and terrible appetite of Mars, Little or not addi- tional plant investment was required. One exception to this was altm- inum. But here, Britain had already contracted with Canada's big alum- inum, property to .expand its plant long before war clouds broke, As a result there came into production last week a new. $40 millions plant in northern Quebec which will greatly increase the supply of the precious metal. Further expansion has now been planned. . 4 Power a Vital Asset. Electrie power is a great and vital ada face to face with the grim facts|.

It was Canada's great power re- sources that determined the initial location in Canada of a plant to manu- facture aluminum. The same reason governs the decision announced re- cently by Hon. C. D. Howe to build a huge $15 millions plant to manufac- ture metallic magnesium, In 1914 turbine installation of clec- tric power were less than two million horsepower. Today that figure is close to 8.5 million. Thus Canada has at her command a vast, immediate sup- ply of cheap accessible power with which to turn war's wheels and to pro- vide for additional expansion such as has been required within the past few months.
