WR COCCRE Canada is like a moody, prosperous individual, hanging around the house with money in his pocket, wanting lots of things, needing lots of things, but harboring an obsession that he won‘t spend his money till prices come down to where they were six years ago. Prices didn‘t go up in a day.. They can‘t come down in a day. Prices went up gradually from 1914 to 919. Prices went up a step at a time. They can‘t come down by the bannister. They must come down the same way they went up. § . The reason we were able to finance the war so Well was beâ€" cause business was goodâ€"people bought and sold. The only way we can PAY for the war is by buying and sellingâ€"trading. And, moreover, prices are downâ€"for many commodities they are already down to lower level than they should beâ€"things are selling for less than they cost to make, This is an impossible situation. _ If you won‘t buy the things the other fellow makes, HE can‘t buy the things you make. That is reasonable, is it not? And if he doesn‘t buy the things you makeâ€"the shutters will soon be up on your place of business. Those who are insistently determined to wait until things "crash" before they buy are not doing humanity a service. For nobody can sell things long at a loss. & The prices of overcoats, shoes, furniture, tires, and so forth, are based on the cost of raw materials, labor, freight, etce., and profit to those who make, handle and sell them. YÂ¥our livelihood and prosperity are bound tup in the livelifiood and prosperity of other menâ€"you can‘t deny that point. Where is nothing fundamentally wrong with the countryâ€"we have bountiful crops, ample money, capable heads and hands. But we can‘t survive a "buying strike" nevertheless. Business is a gigantic organization, kept alive and active by trade coursing through its veins.. When trade stops cireulatingâ€"business dies. Your particular trade can t flourish in splendid isolation. The articles you make can‘t sell to men "out of a job." ’ â€"paGBE EIGHT True thrift is alway's“ifise, but a stubbornm refusal on the part of the Canadian public to buy the things they need NOW is simply slowing down the wheels of commerce that fed and clothe and house is ATâ€"L. 3 If you are on a buying strilkeâ€""forget it." Go out and buy toâ€" day the things you need, for the prices are down. If you are waiting for them to come down further toâ€"morrow or. next day or next month, you may not then be in a position to buy. § Do you realize what‘s happening? Canadians strike."

January meeting of the Women‘s Institute promises to be one of exâ€" ceptional interest. It will be held at the home of Mrs. W. 0. Duncan. ‘The married ladies to entertain the young and the roll call to be answered by recipes for marmalade. of the departmental. centre to be found in the country village, where the obliging shopkeeper always seeks to satisfy the needs and even the wants of everyone. The usual sons of rest were to be found around the stove. Here horse trades were put through, the local paper discussed and the. current topics of the day talked about. Old ladies came to shop and incidentally _ remained to gossip and tell of. their husbands rheimat‘z. where coal oil, and horse cintment khad even failed to make a cure. To complete the scene a splenâ€" did youns man, the surveyor of a suburban railway, comes into the community and wins the heart of the village belle; a jealous rival tries by wunfair means to defame his characâ€" ter, but the arrival of the new minâ€" ister, who happens to be, a great friend, straightens out the tangle and all ends well, with the diamond and the promise of a speedy wedding day. The parts were all well taken, and it must be added in conclusion that the superintendent, Mr. A. Barker, made a very capable school master. The singing of the â€" National Anthem brought the evening to a close. Thistletown hall â€" was crowded to We urmost capacity with the friends who had gathered to show their interâ€" est and sympathy in the work of the Methodist Sunday School. The first part of the program was turned over to the little folks, who certainly capâ€" tured "all hearts. The setting was unique, a huge jackâ€"inâ€"theâ€"box, which worked with true automatic precision, going under cover when told and popping up at most opportune times, was indeed laughable, the young acâ€" tor being able to keep a serene face while all dround him were convulsed with laughter. Next came the negro boys and the little pickanianny, who sang the old plantation songs with true plaintive melody. Then the litâ€" tle rag dolls, who certainly won the hearts of all doll lovers. This was followed by little sailor boys and dainâ€" ty maidens, who came tripping out in their pretty costumes, to be followâ€" ed by Teddy bears, who with their antics and tumbling performances again called forth hearty applause, and at the conclusion those who had wondered just what a Doll‘s Symposiâ€" um meant, voted it a very pleasing feature. The senior pastor, Mr. Petch, gave a short talk but _hearty adâ€" dress of welcome at the opening of the program and during intermission between part 1 and 2 Mr. Smart, the junior pastor, kept everyone interestâ€" ed with his witty remarks. In part 2 "Al Martin‘s Country Store" was ertainly a work of art on the part of Sfle young people, who portrayed life in a country village, with its trageâ€" dies, love scenes and other litNe jnâ€" cidents to be found in everyday life. To begin with, the store was typical Real Irish Linen at Wholesale Prices THISTLETOWN TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON Evangelistic services. have been conducted in the Malton Methodist Church this week with splendid sucâ€" cess.

WESTMOUNT AATEâ€" PAYERS HOLD MEFTNS Mr. Tomlinson recommended that Mr. Marshall be supported as counâ€" cillor as he was a very able man, and very much interested in the welfare of the township. Vote of thanks to speakers, moved by Mr. Davies and seconded by Mr. Silam, was tendered. Mr. Grubbe, Sr., candidate for 2nd deputyâ€"reeve, addressed the meeting, taking for his subject the financial report of the Council for 1920, exâ€" plaining the diffex;ent items of exâ€" penditure. Mr. Cousins, Hydro Comâ€" mission for Weston, spoke very ably on behalf of Mr. Tier, candidate for 1st deputyâ€"reeve, who was unable to be present as he was fulfilling anothâ€" er engagement. He brought to the notice of the meeting the activities of Mr. Tier while he was serving on the Council, and the fact that his business continually _ takes him throughout the township gives him an excellent opportunity to see those things which need attention. An interesting meeting of the Westâ€" mount ratepayers was held in the Community Hall Dec. 30, i920. Mr. Price was in the chair. Mr. Mercer, candidate for first deputyâ€"reeve for Etobicoke, spoke about the work of the Council, and the many problems which they have had to handle, menâ€" tioning that in the year 1919, the last payment had been made on all debentures, leaving the township in a very good position, also advocating Mr. Grubbe, Jr.,. Hydro Commisâ€" sion, gave a brief outline in regard to the difficulties the Light & Power Commission hbad experienced owing to the shortage of power and stating that th completion of the Chippewa Canal would mean ample power available for future development. a higher standard of education for the children. MALTON A BIG SUCCESS EJ. FORTIER, Manager 126 feet x 87 feet, is divided into six "rooms, two play rooms and an audiâ€" torium, the play rooms and auditoriâ€" um being so constructed by the use of folding doors that they can be turned into one large room with a seating capacity of between six and seven hundred.â€" There are four rooms in use at the present time and next September it is the intention of the board to start a continuation class which will be a great benefit to the community. Cloak rooms and a lavaâ€" tory with hot and cold water in the basins is also another feature of this modern building, as well as a domesâ€" tic science room fitted up with taâ€" ‘bles, hot and cold water, two stoves, laundry tubs, cooking utensils and . cupboards for the keeping of supplies. The cost of the school is $74,000. Mr. J. A. L. Macpherson, chairman of the ‘school board, occupied the chair, and !gave the address of welcome to the large audience present. Addresses were then given by bDr. Waugh, Inâ€" spector A. L. Campbell and Inspector Jordan, all three outlining the value of true education, and also the uplift and impetus given to scholars by pleasant surroundings and a proper environment, such as a well equipped sehool â€" would â€" give.

Among others present were several of the old teaghers, Mr. Ferrier of the Mimico Industrial School, Dr. McNamara of West Toronto, and Mr. Edwin Ball. These men told many humorous and jnteresting incidents connected with their teaching days. J. M. Gardhouse, warden of York, was also on the platâ€" form, and gave a short address. Musiâ€" cal numbers by Miss Franks of Isâ€" lington, Mrs. Dodge of Lambton Mills, and others, provided pleasing enterâ€" tainment. One of the pleasing and most impressive features was the singing of ‘The Flag of Britain‘"‘ by some forty of the junior scholars, afâ€" ter the presentation of the flag which the Islington Women‘s Institute doâ€" nated to the school. ‘The president, Mrs. B. Johnston, read a very approâ€" priate address and the presentation of the flag was made by Mrs. Lambie and Mrs. Reed. Another flag was also presented to the school by Mrs. Verâ€" non Ide in memory of her brother, who fell in the Great War.
