Salesmen do not recognize political boundaries, unless they are forced to do so by a prohibitive tariff. The American tarâ€" iff is prohibitive, except as to certain raw materials, which Canada would be wiser to keep, or ship out in a finished state.

Ask your real estate broker what would happen to real estate values on Manufacturers of cloth in Canada, until a short time ago, were rapidly approaching a point where they could compete in quality and finish with the finest English mills. A large and flourishing industry was being built up but, unfortunately for it and for the country, tariff changes intervened and it is now well on the way to comâ€" plete disaster. The only remedy for the present situation is a measure of protection that will enable Canadian manufacturâ€" ers to meet foreign competition. Canâ€" ada imports over $27,000,000 worth of woollen goods annually which might just as easily be manufactured in this country, providing work for a large number of unemployed, retaining the money in Canada and creating funds for expansion.®~> She must safeguard her industries if there is to be any industrial growth. Normally 22,000 hands are employed in Canadian woollen factories; at the present time between five and six thousand are idle or on part time. The normal percentage of machinery in opâ€" eration is usually considered to be beâ€" tween 75 and 80. In Canada last year it was 50 and now is believed to be about 45. Out of 300 cloth and knitâ€" goods mills in Canada, between 45 and 50 are closed and others are closing from month to month,. Woollen mills were among the first of tre industries established in Canaâ€" ‘da and there are still in existence some with a creditable record extending over almost a century. But their number is rapidly becoming less and it is alâ€" most pathetic to witness the decline of the industry, especially when it is the direct result of the policy adopted by the government of our own country.

The people are the town, thereâ€" fore, they have to pay the bills and the way to keep down expense and give the town council an opportunity of economic _ administration is by prompt payment of the town taxes on dates called for.

Hon. Hugh Guthrie‘s father the late Donald Guthrie, represented South Wellington from 1876 to 1882. Born in Guelph, Hugh was in due course graduated from Osgoode Hall and started in as a young barrister in the Royal City. Twentyâ€"six years ago, in QOctober, 1889, South Wellington Libâ€" erals nominated him for the House of Commons, and in this, his first political venture, he was successful at the elecâ€" tions of 1900. He has been in every federal contest since, without defeat. His constituents have stood loyally by him as a staunch Liberal, enthusiastic Unionist and aggressive Conservative That he will be reâ€"elected there is no doubt.. The country needs men of the courage and ability of Hon, Hugh Guthrie. Absurd! "Do. you suppose," began the clerk in the provisions departmentâ€" «S‘pose ‘ what"" unceremoniously asked his associate. "That the jelly fish get their jelly from the ocean currents?" London Free Press: In the foreâ€" front of the election campaign, first at one part of the Ontario battle line and then another, towers the distinguished figure of Hugh Guthrie, of South Welâ€" lington, former minister of militia and defence. An engaging speaker, alâ€" ways sound in the facts and figures he presents, he is a tower of strength to Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen in this conâ€" test, as in the House of Commons, and has been the subject of some abuse from Premier King recently, which, in its way, is a recognition of the fact that the exâ€"minister‘s criticisms strike home. Lending aid here and. there about Western Ontario. in the 1921 campaign, and a speaker by request from time to time during the life of the late parliament. Mr. Guthrie has won a high place in the esteem of the citizens of many constituencies. That fact was indicated _ strinkingly the other day when two South Huron men at the party convention in Hensall, took occasion to resent in vigorous terms what they considered a slur thrown upon _ the South Wellington member by Premier King in his Exâ€" ter speech. The outcome was that the convention passed a resolution conâ€" demning the prime minister‘s action, _ Aesop‘s name first appears in literâ€" ature of about 570 B.C.

TIHINGS TO REMEMBER HON. HUGH GUTHRIE "Nobody could help buying those lovely things," said Marion, as she darted excitedly from one table to anâ€" other as they were prepared for proâ€" spective customers. Dorrie and the younger girls had made candy, chopped nuts and popped corn until their arms ached, for they had been given charge of the candy booth, and eyed their handiwork with pride as they surveyed the gaily stripâ€" ed poles supporting the awning overâ€" head, and the quantity of sweets arâ€" rayed so temptingly. With two or three sets of borrowed kitchen scales, On Wednesday, morning the final preparations were made, and the tables laden with the goods . prepared" for sale. Davie and Ronald Lewis charterâ€" ed Bob and the light wagon and brought in the contributions of fruit and vegetables for what was termed the ranchers‘ stall, â€" where these and similar foodstuffs were displayed, and which soon assumed mountainous proâ€" portions.

Beneath the graceful birches the boys set up the booths, much gratified with the girls‘ outspoken admiration of their handiwork, for they had wovâ€" en rustic screens that stretched the full length of the tables made of birch poles fastened to solid supports, hidâ€" ing from view the boxes and wrapâ€" pings piled beneath. Banked here and there were masses of the tall ferns that grew along the roadsides everyâ€" where and which remained green for a long time. Care was taken to preâ€" serve the beauty of the velvety‘ lawn which was the doctor‘s pride, the table legs being placed solidly in heavy blocks of wood which were concealed with moss and Creepers. Flags and bunting were draped above, with numerous Red Cross banners manuâ€" factured by the girls themselves. Finally it was decided to hold the sale on a Wednesday, a weekly half holiday being held on that day in the town, the shops being closed for the day at noon. This would give everyâ€" one a chance to be present and, as Dorrie remarked, to buy something, every dollar they could make being needed for Red Cross supplies. All who had remained at home had worked steadily. The parents of the boys were gratified to find that their sons were beginning to take an inâ€" terest in the preparations. Jack Nichol had what Dr. Keene pronounced to be "a level head" on his young shoulders. One after another of the young men of the neighborhood were drawn into his plans for making the scene of the sale a bower of beauty. Under his directions they spent their evenings in cutting pliable branches and weaving them into picturesque fronts for the booths to be erected later on. . They crowded upon Dr. Keene‘s grounds, measured and remeasured, . consulted him in his leisure moments, and folâ€" lowed his maturer advicey the wearied physician finding relaxation in their companionship. _ He, together with other adult residents of the neighborâ€" hood, saw the Cheero Club with its very modest beginning, was welding them together and laying the founâ€" dation for a community fellowship hitherto unknown in which every citiâ€" zen bad a part, for everyone was talkâ€" ing of the club and it‘s activities. Actâ€" ing on Celia‘s suggestion, the boys made a personal canvass of the ranchâ€" ers and secured a long list of garden and orchard products which they were willing to contribute. . Dorrie took Bob the pony, and, <accompanied by Stacy, Lois and Minna, visited the women of the various farms and seâ€" cured from them promises of contribâ€" utions of home cooking. Mrs. Keene and Mrs. Bowen. held long telephone conversations with their friends over the coming event, the enâ€" tire planning ~being shared in by maturer judgment and experience. Alâ€" though the members of the club were to have the active management older bheads offered counsel and advice. The Lewis girls, Betty Bird, Grace, Marion and Kathie all returned home the following week and the final prepâ€" arations gave them all some very busy days. On the day before the date of the sale Dr. Keene‘s lawn was the scene of excited labour. The weather was brilliant, Monday‘s shower had washed the dust from the flowers and trees which: looked their loveliest for the cecasion. Minna and Lois constantly telephon-( ed their enquiries as to matters conâ€" nected with the club, and were imâ€" patient for the meetings to be resumed. Stacy visited Jessie whenever she found time to steal _ away from her many duties, for ~this slight, frailâ€" looking little creature worked hard on the halfâ€"ruined ranch her father was transforming into a comfortable home for his family. She, too, longed for the club activities to. recommence as she was hungering for companionship and pleasure. The girls‘ interest in the sale was rapidly reviving. They realized the wisdom of their elders in delaying unâ€" til they were in a position to give of their best, the time of preparation being productive of more sincere efâ€" fort on the part of each one, and they again looked forward to the eventful day. | The little girl‘s sturdy good sense saved her from making herself ridieuâ€" lous and the warmâ€"hearted little girl endeared herself to Celia in many ways, now that they were thrown much together in the absence of her sisters. Each gained by the companionship of the other and cemented an affection that bade fair to be lasting. "ARBEEESEZEEE & (Continued from last week) GOLDEN ACRES CHAPTER XVIII By Florence M. Kelly Mr. and Mrs. William T. Harris announce the engagement of their elâ€" dest daughter Ruth Caroline to G. Walwyn of ‘Toront....= .mt aa .w Walwyn, son of the Rev. I. B. Walâ€" wyn of Toronto. Marriage to take place early in November. Making a flying trip to the White Elephant corner to see how matters were progressing there Dorrie returnâ€" ed to Jessie with the astonishing reâ€" port that almost everything had been sold. Fortunately, no. two people share the same tastes, what one conâ€" sidered hideous another sincerely adâ€" mired and, the prices being low, the collection soon was no more? Many a laugh was produced, and story told in that secluded corner, where neighâ€" bors sometimes recognized another‘s bete noir, and the occasion of its beâ€" ing received. Reminiscences of other occasions when certain articles, then in style and in demand. now so hopeâ€" lessly antiquated, were purchased and exchanged and the visitors seemed to derive much entertainment from what Dorrie termed "the menagerie." (To be Continued) At three o‘clock the grounds were well filled with a pleased and goodâ€" natured throng, many of whom had abandoned work on the farm for the afternoon and had driven several miles to be present. It was an opâ€" portune time to visit each other, the ranchers being widely scattered, and they made the most of it. Little groups gathered here and there, making a tour of the tables and inspecting everything offered for sale. The adult workers took little or no credit for the enterprise but generously saw to it that the young people were warmâ€" ly commended for their labours. To Dorrie‘s supreme satisfaction all the children wanted buttered popcorn and candy and her table was rapidly depleted of its good things. She and her helpers counted and recounted their gains with every dollar added and their delight was unbounded, when, with the sale of the last box, they found their wares . had netted them more than thirty dollars. Pricing the various goods offered for sale proved to be an arduous task but even this had at last been satisâ€" factorily managed. _ Jessie superinâ€" tenede everything. She was very happy in being able to take so great a share in the event and her mirthful comments on the blunders of the wilâ€" ling, but often clumsy helpers provokâ€" ed their own goodâ€"natured laughter. Mrs. Keene was equally happy, seeing the pleasure Jessie derived from the unwonted scene. The improvement in the girl‘s health and spirits rejoiced the mother‘s heart and she, too, spent a happy summer in witnessing her inâ€" terest in the Cheero Club and its members. _ She watched Jessie with pride as she directed the helpers, for the lame girl developed â€"unexpected executive ability and a perfect genius for. organization which made the final arrangements move like clockwork. The president‘s gently uttered orders were promptly obeyed. Marion and Kathleen would have preferred the fancy work booth to the home cooking table and Celia offered to exchange with them but Jessie decided that, beâ€" ing older, Grace and Celia could handle the prettily stitched and emâ€" broidered novelties to better advanâ€" tage, the home cooking selling pracâ€" tically on sight. A little friction arose here and there but the good sense of the members of the club, and their earnest desire to make the sale a sucâ€" cess caused them to give in cheerfully to their leader‘s judgment and all set about cheerfully to work to dispose of: their goods. Mrs. Lewis‘s recollection of a simiâ€" lar project in her earlier days had led to the establishment of a "White Eleâ€" phant" _ sale. Through . the:. weekly newspaper every householder. within reach had been asked to donate some article of their home furnishings which was literally a white elephant on their hands. The conglomerate collection ‘of objects brought in on the previous day ‘aroused the mirth of the young people in charge; pictures that theix owners disliked, oldâ€"fashioned . vases and china ornaments; dishes and platâ€" ters, all of them in good condition, but hideous in their owners‘ eyes; even some antiquated pieces of furâ€" niture had been unloaded on the lawn, forming an exhibit that would, to say the least, create considerable interest. Konald had laboriously cut from a large sheet of . white cardboard. a roughly outlined elephant which was suspended from the bough of‘ a tree over the collection. He was so proud of his achievement that Lois and Jean, who were to miake the effort of disâ€" posing, of / the inartistic objects soâ€" cheerfully given for the good or the cause, allowed it to remain, although the latter declared it to be an unfeelâ€" ing reference to her ‘own plump proportions. ; tables filled with useful articles of clothing which the women. of Cliffâ€" view had worked hard to complete in their few leisure hours. In anticipaâ€" tion of the needsâ€" of mothers of small children they had made up small â€"garâ€" ments of good material and serviceâ€" able pattern and here Betty Bird and Minna resolved to do a roaring trade. Even a rummage sale on a small scale had been attempted, half worn clothâ€" ing being offered. Mrs. Bowen had insisted on Celia making a judicious selection from‘ the contents of the three trunks in the old barn and Mary and Ethel Lewis prepared to dispose of them all. The home cooking table was appeâ€" tisingly arranged. Fresh eggs and milk being plentiful the cakes were sure to be as good as they looked. § WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 114.
