The most. conclusive argument as to wheth-
er -or -not-it-pays-to-advertise is- simpl3 that
business :men : do 'advertise.. Everybody' knows
that •the average, business • man is a . shrewd -
-sort of an individua--L;' ancr obviously if he didn't
think it paid, him , to advertise his wares or
• services; then he certainly •woul-dn't advertise.
But 'he does' advertise, therefore the'only, con
elusion that can be drawn is, that itspaysto

A district farmer was cheerfully accepting
the wet • and backward weather, 'with "it might
be worse" optimism; (This was ten days ago.)
He told the story of'the "pastor who always
• ' comforted his flock with the consolation that
:their lob might be worse, and really over= •
• • worked the phrase. A member of his congre-
- -gation..was.,recounting a very -•realistic :and. ter-
rible dream he had, in : which he went to
'Haedes. The pastor agreed it was a very' bad
dream, but added. "it might'. be. worse". 1`How
could it be any worse?"queried the layman.
"If itIhadn'ts•been a dream," replied the parson.

The passing of Bill 76 provid'
ing forrthe_spending,:of.one'_b.ilboz-
dollars for: mutual aid to.bur al
'lies. has occupied ,most of the first
week following the Easter recess.'
The only opposition to the' Bill
came from the ten members from
Quebec. who forced two divisions
on . Monday. Canada's wartime
Minister of Finance . answered
concisely arid effectively the crit-
icisms which had been ' made. to
the effect 'that the mutual aid
provided by this . Bill' is colonial
tribute. '
"Is it colonial tribute to send
aid; • to Russia, which' has . been
bearing such a heavy part of the
burden. of this war?
. "Is . it colonial tribute ,. to senrl
help to' China,. which has carried
on such an heroic Struggle for
the past *six years"? asked Mr.
Tlsle,y of his former colleague.;
"This ' country is 'Simply doing

ryin:. on_.of-the-.war,: which .is. as..
much our,' war as it is the' war

are associated," continued Mr.
Ilsley. 1
Mr. Cardio 'had Claimed' that
w� . in Canada are being' taxed'
more Feaviiy than the 'People in'
any of the other United. Nations,
but this statement could of be
supported by facts. Mr. Ilsley ex
plained that the.real test. is the
condition in - which thepeople are
left after' the payment of taxes
and, the lending of,moneyto the
Governmeot. On this count' it was
obtrious that..Canadians .have not:

Mr. Ilsley invariably gets ' a
good hearing' in the House, as he
demonstratesthat constant ap
plication to ills duties enables lion'"-
to ;.discuss effectively problems of
wartime finance: -In' 1868 :the total '
disbursements for.the'entire year
were justover fourteen million
dollars, an amount 1esss""than Mr. -
Ilsley must find for a single day.
