After the re- eent crisis in the Stinnes fortune. comes that of the Stumm family._ _ The Stinnes enterprises expanded on an extravagant scale during the war, but their growth was a sound as could be expected in abnormal warlike conditions of production and demand. The expansion con- tinued af’ter the armistice at a no less startling pace. however. and even a financial genius like the late Hugo Stinnes succumbed to the pre- valent temptation to build on the quicksands of virtually worthless paper currency. The Stumm grouo likewise, heav- ily interested in coal, iron and ship- ping. played fast and loose with the depreciated money. The cash ob- tained from French capitalists for its properties in the Saar as con- verted into mountainous heaps of paper marks. and new industrial ventures were financed in other parts of Germany. i1â€" fibét'ch“ of Eapital stock as wages Thgy rot-"115031 (:()r_1t_er_nptuqusly. __.A_ -.." The rapid return of a sane cur- rency struck the Stumms. as it struck the heirs of Stinnes. a he- wildering blow. Both were over- burdened with cheaply acquired holdings which they found it im- possible to keep up following the intrmluction of a scarcerâ€"because a healthier mark. Recently, with no solid cash on hand wherewith to pay 011' the workers in one of the fac- tories. young Stinnes offered them 'l‘he calamity which confronts top: heavy. artificially inflated industries in Germany is being hastened by an evermore general return of normal domestic and foreign market condi- tions.

At the time of the high tide of in- tlation, short-sighted German man- ufacturers were gathering in paper marks by the cartloads. They rubbed their hands in glee; some. even en- couraged the inflation process. They are now learning their lesson, and other European countries should proflt by Germany’s eXperiences. In the long run. unsound money doesn‘t pay.â€"â€"(l‘he Detroit Free Press. TWO SIDES T0 EVERY QUESTION There are two sides to every ques- tion. This is just as true in adver- tising as in argument. In adver- tising there is the side of the ad- vertiser and the side of the pub- lic. From the vimvpoint of the ad- vertiser in the newspaper. adver- tising is a means of increasing his volume of business. Commercial development has made Ladyertising V \ .Vr-C-‘vâ€" as necessary to retail business as customers. The other side of the question is that of the public. To the public. newspaper advertising means the bringing of the store show cases to the office and the living room It is a service extend- ed to the public by the advertiser, because it aids the customer in as- certaining where that which is wanted can be purchased at the most advantageous price. Newspa- per advertising has abolished shop- searching. To save time for the shopper lengthens his day. So al- though there are two sides to news- paper advertising, there is no dis- agreement between the two.

Dr. Brown was out on a hunting trip near Ca 0 Chin with Mr. Mac. Smith. White Mr. Smtih went into the home of Mr. Charles Hayes on some business, the doctor took a walk into the woods to do a little hunting. When Mr. Smith came back to the car, the doctor came out of the woods and fell on the road beside the car. He had been accidently shot in the right lung and died in a very few minutes. Mr. Smith immediately ran back to the Hayes house to get help and phone for a doctor, but before either had arrived, Dr. Brown had died. Dr. Hough. the coroner, and Dr. Forge, from Wiarton, were called, and went up at once, and found that death was due to accident. and there was no occasion for an inquest: Dr. Brown, who had been, practis- ing in Lion's Head for about two years. leaves to survive him, his wife and‘one daughter, 14 yearsnof say. age, to whom the general sympathy of the-whole community is extend- ed.

In his report for 1924. recently published by the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, Mr. R. J. Hutchinson. Chief Officer of the Fibre Division of the Experi- mental Farms, says that the year was the most encouraging for Cana- dian flax growers since 1920. The growing and retting conditions in Western Ontario. where practically all the Canadian fibre flax is at pres- ent produced, were very favorable, with the result that an exception- ally high yield of fibre and semi were obtained. Some commercial areas produced as high as 339 pounds of fibre and 16 bushels of mill-run seed per acre. Not only were the yields of fibre and seed higher than usual. but the demand for them showed 7 improvement. One__ grower in Western Ontario was offered 30 cents per pound for one lot of fibre. Most of the seed was sold to the lin~ seed oil mills at prices ranging from $240 to $2.65 per bushel. Mr. Hut- chinson continuing, says that the seed was suitable for seeding pur- poses, and as there is evidence of a good demand, there were pros- pects of between $3 and $4 per bu- shel being realized for the remain- der in the hands of the growers of approximately 6,0“) bushels.

Eventually he Walked all the way from Hull to Liverpool eating turnips and comm way and asking for a drink of milk at farmhouses. Even then his funds were so low that he had to pawn spare clothes to provide him1 with sufficient to eat and his night’s lodging. His fixed idea was to et aboard and see something of to root mi I tore dim ' .2 On reaching Liverpool he managed to get a be aboard a ship named theg Knig ht of St. John and this took him to Rotterdam, where he missed the return voyage to Liverpool and found himself stranded in the Dutch world. port without visible means of sub- sistence. He shipped on a barque, the Lake Simcoe, which was traded to South America, and later. on his return to England, tried to join the Royal Navy. Failing in this for lack of parents’ consent. young Boyes worked his passage out to Durban, in Natal, where he arrived just af- ter the Jameson Raid. From that point onwards, his career was full of excitement and adventure. He made his way up Africa, and tem- porary employment of one kind and another kept him from starvation until he had a term of service in the Malabele War. For 28.. 3d., John Boyce secured passage to Mombasa in a dhow owned by an Arab, and from there he organized a transport caravan on the Uganda Railway route until he found himself in a. lion-infested country, which had up to then been unexplored by white people. To mak.e_matterso worse. it Despite. the advice and stringent opposition of the white people at Mombasa. Boyes decided to pene~ trate the notorious Wa-Kikuyu country. This part of Africa is near the famous Mount Kenya. which is about 18.000 feet above sea level and has perpetual snow on its summit He was told by the British military authorities that the country of Ki- kuyu was hostile. that the tribe was about the most murderous of all in Africa, and that in one case. a party of Britishers had been at- tacked within thirty miles of the Government station at Fort Smith and nearly every man killed. W‘ith typical disregard of consequences, Boyes went through a circuitous route of the wild and forbidden land and. by unexampled bluff and nerve, made straight for the resi- dence of the chief of the tribe. an old native named Karuri. With the aid of the magic powers of iodot'orm. an alarm clock. a bottle of fruit salts (which made the na- tives think he could drink boiling water“. the tribe soon began to re- gard him as a witch doctor. and fell down and worshipped him as a r"r"- . was teemlhg with ferocious black fplk, he bulk of whom were war- like canmbals. Within a short time. by virtue of organizing the natives against other hostile tribes. and the. use of the rifle and revolver. Boyes became the white king of this extraordinary tribe of savages which numbered half a million. His boots were a source of great attraction to the sav- ages. who had never seen a white man or boots or clothes heform They thought his boots were part of his feet.

During this stirring period of his career, John Boyes had a unique experience in elephant hunting. The restrictions which now exist as to the number of elephants shot did not then apply. He also shot lions and had many narrow escapes from death. On one occasion he was stalking a zebra, when suddenly he found himself two yards away from a lion poised ready to spring. The animal was furious. as it was also on the track of the zebra. So much surprised was the hunter that he could not find a cartridge. and though he summoned Up enough nerve to fumble in his pocket for one, the lion. apparently perceiving that something unusual had come its way. quietly darted away before he had discoyered the cartridge, At Hull, when interviewed. Mr. Boyes had on his drawing room floor the head of a magnificent. lion with twelve feet of skin attaehed to it which he had shot in the 'ungle. He has shot hundreds of elep ans. some of which had tusks of ivory weigh- ing 150 pounds apiece. Mr. Boyes, who has brought his wife and two children with him. came to England on the Kenilworth Castle. When he left Kenya, he said. the na'tve chiefs had chauffeurs to drive their cars. but. when he first went out there. only about ten white men inhabited the Colony. Each Af- rican native had many wives. he re- lated; in fact, the African women prefer their men to have a number as they are slaves and it divides the work up and thus gives them an easier time. A native chief never dreams of taking his wife out. in his car. TWO MORE WEEKLIBS This was the last week of publi- cation of the Gorrie Vidette and the Wroxeter News.
