It seems that a method of flour manufac ture has been found out whereby Canadian wheat may be better iitilized. Hence these two new mills. In this may be seen one way by which Canada is going to resplve her present financial cri sis. As men think and study and apply the discoveries and meth ods of science, the way but will appear. • • * * k-««* NOT WANTED ■ , \ Too many youngsters'roam our streets after dark. This is particularly the case on Saturday nights. „JLet ii be known that no good but 'harm and only harm comes of this practice. School lessons are neglected. Expensive tastes are cultivated. Moral corruption is invited. Laziness is bred and impudence is taught. These youngsters are in the road, of people who' want to do busi ness. Why should not all parents unite in the effort to suppress a practice that points the wiay to the prison cell? When dark comes On the youngsters who' has a home should go to it. HELPING THEM OUT When the Great War was getting well under way, there was a desperate hunger for war books. War books were provided, by .the inky millions. For the most part these .booik's were character ized by a large number of facts that were not so. Yet these books sold. Then followed the, craze for dealing in stocks. Stocks were provided .for this purpose and folk fell for them like an ox under the sledge. Along with this infatuation came the craze for com municating with the unseen world. 'Conan Doyle fell into line and his great reputatioji leads tens of thousands to hang to the skirts „.of his garments. Now comes the revelation of Doyle’s great be- fooler, Nino Pecararo, “People wanted to be fooled!.” Pecararo chuckles as he tells of his way of tricking even his astutest ob servers. And still there are folk who- try to find out the facts of existence ‘by mussing among tea leaves or by looking into a bit of gla<ss of curious shape or by showing the palm of their hand to an unwashed crone. A fooLand his money are easily parted, . /.( A. J. CLATWORTHI Phone It GRANTON.
