"No," he said, "we don't set I prices. We study prices and try to keep abreast of them. We buy as cheaply as we can, but we have to ; pay competitive prices, for we are not the only buyers in the market; l and we sell for what we can get, still ;meeting the competition of others."

C. HOPPER REPRESENTATIVE Canada Life Assurance COMPANY WINGHAM PHONE 462 are the prices at which sales are made. If we had It in our power to set arbitrary prices, either in buying or selling, we would be tempted to set them in our own interests. The farm- ers would be tempted the same way- if they could set their prices. But such prices are never in the interests of the country as a whole, and in the long run they don't benefit anybody. It is better that no one should have that power, and as long as there is healthy competition in the market, no one can have it. k ight4twe ITCH Of Toss And Feet Cmit Ahost -Drive You Crazy When feet burn, sting, if-eh—and shoes feel as if they were cutting right Into the flesh--slop at the nearest drug store and ask for a small original bottle of Moene's Enierala Oil. it's a wonderful formula—this com- bination of Fl:,sential Oils with Cam- phor, Chlorthymol and oilier antlsep- ties—so good that thousands of bottles are sol d an nually for relief from the almost 'unbearable itching of Athlete's Foot, Get a bottle today and prove it for yourself.

So far as Wingham is concerned, the cost of hydro power furnished here will place it altogether out of the question, The Commission has made estimates of the cost to *e ese municipalities that passed by-laws favouring it, and while at Goderich a.rate of $26.50 per horsepower is quoted, the rate for VVinghe,m would be $55.82, which would be practically prohibitive, Fortunately, Wingham is so situated that it enjoys a unique Position, that many towns would be delighted to hold. Wingham has two fine water powers, and can develop its own power much cheaper than the hydro-electric Can furnish it, Engin- eer Acers of the Commission admits that Wingham holds the vantage point so far as power development is con- cerned, and ,advises the placing of a dynamo at the upper power. In this connection, we may inform the public that day-time electric power, devel- oped by Wingham water powers and furnished by its own electric plant, was turned on at noon on Monday, April 22nd. In addition to the power already contracted for, the Western Foundry Co. ask for 35 horsepower, and we understand that when the Water contract with the mill ends, Howson and Brocklebank will require a large supply, The Renfrew Journal reports that Mr. Alex May of Smith Falls found a large solid gold ring in a bag of pota- toes Which he purchased last week. The Advance heard of a Wingham chap that lost one of his rubbers While tramping dried apples in a bar- ren. Now there is hope that the lost rubber will be found. 0 - 0 - 0 TWENTY-FIVE •,t.YEARS AGO Rev. Dr, Perrie of Wingham, was elected Moderator of the Presbyterian Synod of Hamilton and London, which opened Monday night in Knox Church, Hamilton. He was nominated by five Presbyteries, and has served in the ministry for 37 years, Rev. Dr. H. Barnett of Ridgetown, who with- drew last year after being nominated, was again nominated, but did not re- ceive as many votes as Mr. Perrie. Mr, and Mrs. Crawford have re- cently returned from spending the winter in St. Petersburg, Florida, where they have a nice little winter home. Mr. Crawford has become fam- ous as a bowler in the South, and for the past couple of winters, has mar- ched away with some of the coveted prizes. In the St. Petersburg National Bowling Tournament last February, he won the following: He skipped the rink which won,the Jack Taylor Trophy, winning four gold watches, suitably engraved. He won first in the doubles, the prizes for this were travelling watches. He also won first in the second event of singles, and for this received a pig skin club bag. In the jitney, he was also very successful, and won several other nice little prizes. Mr. Crawford's wins were always popular with the majority of bowlers, for in St. Petersburg, as in Wingham, he is always smiling, and never heard eftime.0.041=41.0.......m4.0....0010.0.0.041••.~11111111.t.

Mr. Orvis was similarly struck in the neck with a piece of metal, which passed along underneath the skin for about four inches, and imbedded itself in the muscles of his neck, The metal was removed by Drs. Redmond and Stewart. 0 - 0 - 0 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Mr. George H. Langan of Stratford, Superintendent of Employment Ser- vice of Canada, for the counties of Huron. Perth and Bruce, was in town oh Friday and at his instigation a local committee was formed to fester the Home Improvement Plan in Wingham and vicinity. The commit- tee will likely have more members added at a later date. The present committee is as follows: Chairman, Coun. H. T. Thomson; Secretary, W. A. Galbraith; Committee Members, Mayor J. W. Hanna, L, R. Blackwood, J. R. M. Spittal, Richard H. Lloyd, W. VanWyck, W. W. Armstrong. The Home Improvement Loan Plan now being made by the Chartered Banks, in co-operation with the Dom- inion Government, to enable home- owners, both rural and urban, to im- prove and modernize their homes, has been further extended to the farmer, for the purpose of improving all farm buildings and fences. The fourth and fifth meeting of the Leadership Training course was held in the United Church on Friday and Monday' night respectively, On Friday night the Bluevale Y. P. S. had charge of the worship period with their president, George Johnston leading. On Monday night the Blyth Y.P.U. led in the worship period. Miss Margaret Hiron, their president, was in charge. On Sunday a couple of boys went for a swim at the C.P.A. bridge, or should we say "dip." April 18th is pretty early for a plunge into the Maitland and we think the boys thought so also as they got out of the chilly water as quickly as possible. This is about the earliest that any swimming in the Maitland has been recorded. The water is cold, no doubt about that. If you do not believe us, ask Ken Somers. He found that the best way to cross a creek is in one jump, not two. Work is expected to start on pav- ing Highway No. 4 into , Wingham about May 1st. The division of em- ployment will be 50% relief, 25% un- employed and 25% contractor's men. WHO SETS PRICES ANYWAY? When a farmer takes his produce , to market, whether it be grain or livestock or whatever you will, he always asks the buyers what priceS they will pay; and when he is making his purchases he always asks the merchant "How much?" Thus in both his selling and his buying he allows the other fellow to set the price. Far- mers are the only people who do this. All other classes put their own prices on what they have to sell. Why shouldn't the farmers db the same?" The above expression of opinion, , stated as a self-evident fact, has been the theme of so many speeches and writings that it seemed worthy of examination. I read it to the manager of a gen- eral store and asked for his com- ments. He replied: "Probably the farmers prefer it that way. Farmers are shrewd traders and don't like commit- ting themselves to any price till they know what the other fellow is think- ing." He continued: "So far as the mar- keting of their products is concerned, the farmers are the luckiest people on the earth. They have an open mar- ket to keep them informed of the real I value of their products. These values are published in the newspapers and broadcast over the radio every day; and no farmer need be ignorant of the true value of whatever he has to sell. "With us, it is different. We put the price tags on the goods we sell; but it is no easy job deciding what those prices should be. We have 110 market quotations to keep us informed of the value of the things we handle. We have to feel our way cautiously and keep our prices in line with what our competitors are charging. That is what I am doing with these newspap- ers on my desk studying the adver- tisements of our competitors, for we know we can't expect to get more than they do. "We have to keep our stock moving, and if any goods are not selling we have to adjust our prices to what the people will pay, We handle some goods, the prices of which are set by the manufacturers; but we know that unless those prices are competitive the goods don't sell. You should have a talk with some of those manufac- turers," REMINISCING SUPER-SOFTNESS is a "must" in everything that touches baby's tender skin.
