glot of insurance. We have .insured a good number of “people who have been unfortunate in getting into :trouble. But in no instance have we found that the 2 companies we represent ever attempt to evade their “'responsibility, or practised any unnecessary delay in making a settlement. Like everything else, there are a good many “substitutes” sold as automobile insurance. Some motorists buy insurance because they want protec- tion; others take the insurance that costs the least money. Drivers of cars would do well to remember that good automobile insurance is not cheap; neither is cheap automobile insurance good. Like other things, you get what you pay for, and as insurance of this kind is badly needed when you are in trouble it pays to get the best. You can’t get the _best in automobile insurance on the how-much-can- .

Public D‘liability means liability to the public, and by no fistretch of the imagination can cattle be construed 1a mto mean “public”.

The truck was insured i .sgainst public liability and surprise is expressed . .because the insurance company backed down on ' the owners and they had to pay the owner of the 0 cattle for the damage done.

We refer to the summertime prac- 3; tice of parking cars all night on the street outside 2; hotels while he owners are taking their night’s rest. 3“ There are some people who are not criminally :3 inclined but who cannot resist the temptation of pick- 3 ing up things that do not belong to them especially 3“ when these aricles are left around unguarded for n . - knnra a} a stretch. There was a time not very m think of Qaving his car out in the weather over- night but that time has gone. In motoring through the country at night and from our observance of what goes on in Durham, the present day commer- cial .traveller who looks up a garage for his car at night is a curiosity. Every night during the motor- ing season they pull up to the hotel, register for the night, and go to bed in blissful ignorance that they may be placing temptation in the way of some one weak enough to take advantage of the opportunity and commit theft. Under his public liability policy, he certainly would have been ahead from a monetary standpoint, but this argument has nothing to do with the in- "V "cc--vâ€"â€" '~_ In the interest of law and order, and to remove temptation from those who cannot resist it, we think matured.

ASSISTING THE THIEVES BRAVERY uni in tobacco and cinrcttc pncks. They don’t mean much, but with n lot of smoking nnd consider- able patience, one stand: to win a twenty-five cent perhaps a combination of both. Either a man is im- pervious to nerves and really cannot be scared or else he is so badly scared that he doesn’t know enough to be scared. Personally the editor of The Chronicle isn’t brave. He scares wily but doesn't let it go so far that he would not do what he was told .if gazing into the business end of a shooting iron. Should one of these bold, bad highwaymen suddenly appear in our sanctum, pull a gun and demand the contents of the till, he could have it and welcome. No few paltry thousands of dollars will be the means of transferring our benign presence from our happy little home in Durham to that one on high of which we sing so lustily on Sunday, hoping to get there, and then send in a hurry call for the doctor when we feel a suspicious pain under the belt, and our chances of making the long trip seem probable.

The Minnie May, a rum schooner, surrenders at North Sydney, N.S., when fired upon by twO govern- ment cruisers.

One of the scripture lessons at church last Sunday contained that verse where it is predicted that the fearful, the unbelieving, the abominable, and murder- ers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and ALL LIARS,” shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” Well, it is going to be, to use a ~p0pular phrase, “some lake” to accommodate that gang without crowding. Those of our Little Canadians who listened in over the radio a few nights ago and heard the speech of Jan Christian Smuts at the Chauteau Laurier, Ottawa, must have Shrivelled even a little more than usual. Smuts, a former Boer general and enemy of Britain less than thirty years ago, now appealing for a Greater Britain in unity and inter-Empire re- lationships, puts to shame -a lot of our native-born Britons who preach sedition, Communism and vio- lence ! NOTES ON ELECTION By Rusticus Whitmore certainly gave Stonqouse‘ a clo'se shave. Mofiat will have to go after an appointive office. He is not built for running.

Keep up a united propaganda against war, have more hospitality among the citizens of the country, form an idea of how to better our communty welfare. Put our should- ers together and put it over. If it is a failure put it out again and not try so many pots in the one fire. As to pen- sions for the soldiers some say why do we ‘need charityâ€"big strong, able men like myself asking charity. Some tell me that a little work would drive away the blues and save the country the cost of paying me a thousand or so a year. Well I only wish to God I was half the man today I was before I went to France. I sure could make some of our working class look cheap iwhen they talk about work and I know that work is a sight easier than idle- ing around trying to keep your left foot out of the box when_ the right foot is in up to the hip. Then as to cost, if the government would give us our own money, because we have never received our share of the salvage funds nor our share of the canteen profits which was the soldiers’ not the country’s money. Some ask how did canteen funds ac- cumulate .They accumulated by means of their rations, then selling us food and coffee over the canteen. As to the salvage fund, when we were on the battlefield and a pal got killed instead of burying him, uniform and all, bay- onet, rifle and ammunition, we scrap- ped the lot and wrapped him in a blan- ket, chalked a dollar of! his pay for the price of the blanket and covered him up__in the ‘mud. AC- _ _-_..-__ -AA-nm-O Now by this means the army accumu- lated a large sum called salvage funds which was to be redistributed back among the soldiers. This has never been done. Now what about charity? Give us What belongs tp us, give us half what they promised us and you will find the soldier pretty well sat- isfied. If the government pays us the money they owe us, we have no need to be refused flour or provisions which our family want at home, because we lhave no money to pay for same: â€"â€""vv If Ifie seidieE's get. the money , it is most likely 100 per cent spent at home which is in my estimation, the prOper place to spend it. -â€"A SOLDIER.
