I want to tell you that values for him are not measured with a 36 inch yard stick,‘’but a yard stick that measures barely 115 inches. The selling price of the farmer’s goods have dropped 60 per cent, while the goods he buys have only dropped 28 per cent. J wish some of these right-thinking people would look into the matter and as for the illustrations -given by a man well up in _the.se matters, etc., Well we just can’t see his point at all. They might work out, if the barter "system were in vogue but in that case we are sure, that T.(.Jones would only pull Bill Smith’s leg once but in our present system the farmer has his leg pulled so often, that many have become dismember­ ed by this.time. I am quite convinced Mr. Editor that you will have to change your idea of “paying back in terms of gold of a definite weight and fine­ ness”-—when there is only sufficient gold in the entire world to pay the interest on the international debt for one year. -Canada’s debt which she is morally bound to pay in terms of gold amounts to approximately $7,- '500,000,000 and the entire world supply of gold amounts to only 11 or 12 billions of dollars by which we can readily .see the utter impos­ sibility of paying back in terms of gold. . '~ Do the business people of your town, think there is as much money in circulation as is needed? The banks have drawn in loans from cir­ culation in the last three years, to the extent of $600,000,000 and dur­ ing the last three years the gross revenue of agriculture has decreased by $925,000,000. The privilege of writing money into existence, in this time of national emergency should be in the hands of the government of Canada, instead of our privileged chartered banks, inflation or deflation may ideal, but we should have a led currency and credit to insure a steady price level. Mr. Editor, I believe you are miss­ ing the great challenge of the in advocating the sentiments, we bear the financial ills we than to fly to those we know ing about.” If that had been the prevailing spirit in times past, where would Progress be now? Where would medical science be, if it had always clung to old remedies, afraid of stepping out and trying the new Surely with all the want in our land all the unemployed, the hungry and undernourished children, the young men and women just waiting for a chance to make good, surel^ some new remedy would be justified. We the people of Canada, are holding those in authority over us, as moral­ ly responsible, to better conditions even some new thing if need be—• highly Neither be the control­ times “that have noth- Sincerely Mrs. Lloyd Taylor WINS SCHOLARSHIP A.

I have talked with leaders church in Ottawa and found hopeful tone than in all my There is a feeling that the turning. I have found no note of discouragement in the -Church,” Speaking of the responsibility of leadership, the speaker said: “Young people are watching us, We must be Christlike in life and in character/ as time passes on. I cannot recon-1 cile with the spirit of Christ, better' words, acrimonious discussions, such J as we all know existed in Board) meetings.” There are 7,000 congregations in] the United Church. Each congrega­ tion is a link in a great church which reaches out to all lands in the name of Christ. The church as a whole will not be strong unless it has the help of the local congregation, “I am hoping.” said Dr. Bryce, “that a richer and fuller life of the church will come out of all the depression. Six hundred congregations of the United Church last year did not re­ port having received one person by confession of faith.” The supreme task is to win the younger and older people, where the missionary spirit is strong in the church it is always easy to get money for the local church which was urged to send in contributions month by month as collected. Because of the system of organiza­ tion through a Central Finance com­ mittee composed of 22 men, it would be impossible for the same thing to, happen in the United church which had occurred in the Anglican church Truths for Business Women! SAVE—that you may not WANT when the business world no longer wants YOU. Many a woman gives the best years of her life to a business career. Then, one day, owing to the deiath of her employer or a change in management, she finds herself out of a position and discovers that, despite her experience and efficiency, SHE CAN­ NOT COMPETE WITH YOUTH, There’s one certain way to prevent the distress that follows the unhappy realization of this truth. That is to buy (out of your present salary) a Confederation Life Pension Bond, to pay you at least $50 a month, commencing at age 50, 55 or 60. Remember also that, if you become totally disabled, due to accident or disease, it can be so arranged that your premiums will be waived and you will receive a monthly cheque to replace, in part, your earned income.
