Here’s our best wishes for healing and well being. “May the best they have ever known, be the worst they’ll ever see, and may the mouse ne’er turn fr.om their meal poke wi' a tear drap in it’s eel” **«*»* *« A SUGGESTION It will 'be a good day for civilization when all who serve the public who indulge in. war talk will be requested from1 'time to time to give the source of. their information. We have the idea, that a good deal of the war talk that we hear from high places is inspired if not well paid for. ******** A NATION BUILDER We have just heard of a couintry school teacher who lets the little tots under her charge leave school at 2.4'5 p.m. with strict injunctions to go straight home. 'She follows this up with inquiries as to when they reach home. This young lady is doing a fine bit of public service. No -child that is. allowed to dilly dally at any­ thing ever amounts to much. ******** And now, gentlemen of the new town- council, Exeter wants' results at your hands, not hot bluff. If you don’t show gray mat­ ter and action this town will fire you as enthusiastically as it elect­ ed you and disgrace you as deeply as it has highly honored you. This does not mean maybe. If you1 are suffering from swelled heads, may the Lord have mercy on your souls. It taikes a steady hand to carry <a full dish and .a lot of .common sense to wear with growing lustre, the crown of public approbation. ******** FORGETTING Nations and wise men have learned that there are <a great many things that are 'better forgotten. Some men and some nations never forget but stubbornly try to make worse matters already 'bad by a continual harking back to incidents 'that never ishou(ld have taken place and whose baleful influence should be eradicated as soon as possible. For these terrible events both panties are deeply sorry and yet neither party is quite willing to say “Let’s, be as we were!” To do so seems for one party to admit that it was in. the wrong, a confession that is made only by a great man or a great nation. For more than sixteen long and terrible years France and Ger­ many have been in this unfortunate position regarding The Great War. Because of this state of mind neither nation hais settled down/ to the great work to which they have been called by God and niuimanity. Instead of going forward to healing the hurt of hu­ manity these mighty nations have been busy with mutual- recrimin­ ations that have threatened the very existence of civilization'. Mad ambition and insane lust of conquest have been their ideals rather than the pursuit of those things that mean the freedom of the hu­ man spirit. ■However, just as these nations seemed to be taking the plunge into war regarding the ,Saar basin, the way that lay in the direction of madness, the better angels of their natures prevailed and the appalling strife seems bo have been averted. Why should not these nations, joining hands with Britain, not go forward to settle the disputes of the cockpit of Europe?) Why not take the further step and say to Japan and Russia, ‘No more of this aggression!’ -and so avert the other possibility the horrors of interracial and inter-color warfare? Should -our big brother, Jonathan take heart and forsake his idol of the Munro doctrine and join hands with Britain and France and Gerniny and Italy, a new era would have dawned and the dreams of the League of Nations come to be an inspiring reality. That way lies 'the new era. CROMARTY ■ pun chased a building from Mrs. S. • A. Miller and has moved it across to The annual meeting of the W.

Every Mining Camp of Importance FOR EXAMPLE—The Hollinger in Porcupine The Young-Davidson in Matachewan The Noranda in Rouyn Little Long Lac in the Long Lac Area The Siscoe in Dubuisson has originated by a discovery of such great importance that it attracts and holds exper­ ienced prospectors and mining men. % The Wright-Hargreaves in Kirkland Lake These finds all attracted prospectors and mining men to stake and develop these dis­ tricts, and have all met with outstanding success. AND NOW THE Makwa Champagne Gold Mines Limited (No Personal Liability) i In May of last year Wesley Clause made a gold find of oustanding importance on ground that is now owned by Makwa Champagne. When the importance of this find be­ came known hundreds of prospectors and mining men rushed to the Makwa Champagne district with the resu/lt that the district has been solidly staked. Many mining companies and syndicates have purchased ground in this area and are now actively engaged in devel­ oping their properties. Results to date have more than justified the faith these expert mine makers had in this district, and after careful inspection and examination, they expressed their faith in the find making a mine, by staking hundreds of claims surrounding this spectacular discovery.
