As @ contemporary states, the Belgians| t _were very glad to hear its music when and Canadian troops were res- _euing their country from the German MRordes.

Education to address them in regard to the adv es and disadvantages of consolidation, No effort is being made to force the people to adopt the system, but the scarcity of teachers, the unsatisfactory conditions of the present scheme and the need for a better and more comprehensive edu- cational program for the..boys and girls of the Country, are continuing to force the people to look for another and better method than the present unsatisfactory one-roomed school, TWENTY-DOLLAR COAL ; (Ford's Weekly.) When the farmers of the United States raised the cry of “Dollar Wheat,” it was recognized that a most important industry was endeav- oring to raise itself to a position of economic security which its service dieserved. ‘Dollar Wheat" was not regarded as an attempt to profiteer at the public expense; it was not re- garded as the expression of excessive greed. Indeed, it has been frequent- ly contended that if a bushel of wheat and a dollar of money could be made the standard, it would go far toward stabilizing some schedules which of late have appeared to be very elastic. Now, however, the people of the United States are confronted with a new price ideal, a new campaign to increase a certain cost to an hereto- fore unheard of figure, The coal bar- ons of the country. are shouting “Twenty-Dollar Coal” -with as much bry zeal as ever the pioneer shout- ed "Pike's Peak or Bust!” Twenty-Dollar Coal is ‘purely a trade ideal; it is just as unreasonable as would be a clothing trades slogan of “Hundred-Dollar Clothes. There is no doubt whatever that a deliberate attempt has been made in the Unjted States to push prices s0 high that the recession will not be great, and then, by interference with production, maintain prices at a high level long enough to make them cry- stallize into aa’ If coal can ‘be pushed to $20 or, in order to make $20 the permanent} price, if coal can be pushed to $25, and held there long enough to com- s me entire population to adjust their whole livin rr tamet 536 prog re if yeemure There is nothing to show that $20 is a no for fie keine nag whether they be There is nothing to eno that $26 goal is abything but a raid on the people's winter budget And this present moment would seem to be the worst possible time to try any experiments with the public patience. THE ENDS OF LIVING (London Advertiser) The remark is often made, to con- sole povarty or failure, that, after all, so-and-so with his riches or ‘‘suc- cess” is no happier than Lazarus. ‘The old-time religion used to add that so far as the future life was concern-| ed, Dives was in for something simply awful, and in view of this perhaps there was a foolish disposition to con- cede that for the present it was hap- pier to sit right in at the table of tur- key, champagne, strawberries, choco- lates, wit and beauty than-to snatch crumbs and fight the dogs for a bone on the floor. But nowadays people considering the present dispensation e are eager to declare that the small wage- earner, who barely makes ends meet each week is happier than the million- aire in his high-wheeled motor. Thé more you have the more you get, but also the more you want, and as Chau- cer says, “hoard hath hate and climb- ing tickelness."" Happy ‘indeed are the contented; and the poor aré more often so. Yet happiness is all the same a concolation prize, no less, but no more, 7 We think we want to be happy in life, but de we? nd even should we ~ Some philosophers, more realist than idealist, say that the aim of life is not to be “‘stepped to the eyes in happiness,"’ but at whatever cost to energize, to function in the various phases of living. Thus we live to live, Hfe for life’s sake. And living consists partly in acting, thinking,, feeling for_one’s self, partly in help- ing others equally with ourselves 60 to live. Living involves ‘pain, anxiety, rack- ing exertion as well as enjoyment. But the gefuine liver accepts the con- ditions and lives for al) he is worth. There are various ways of living. If it be happier te vegetaté or glide a- long “half-conscious of our dying lay,” there may nevertheless be more life in the development of will-to- power, or of artistry or philosophic strength, or of other people's wel- fare, despite all the pains involved. | Some may find themselves best in a ps even higtr er favored, in ‘general proficiency. but the” development — of ife, in The end of Mving is not happiness ‘ere — Living, need no goal of happiness. ends in theméelves. ~ ‘The Hfe is more life. 26 i Highest Price Bid - For Cheese on ad At Friday's meeting of the Dairy- men’s Exchange twelve factories| boarded 2090 whole cheese and 200 flats, as follows: Millbank 200 whole, 50 flats, Ford- wich 65, 260, Elma 330 Marion Beaver 125, Ethel 110, Done- gal 140, Silver Corners 200, Moles- worth -120,, Wallace 325, Maitland | 225, Elma and Mornington 150 flats.
