In these days• when the prices -wf al-
most everything are advancing, the
.publisher ,has to. discern 'sharply be-
tween what items he should insert
free in his paper and what should be
paid for. People very often .forget
that the columns of a,: newspaper are
the publisher's stock in trade, and he
can, no more give away his product
than can a''grocer give a:Yq'a5 his
goods Or a farmer his grain and pro-
duce. We have to bear our share of
war tax and, give our share' to this,
that and the .other thing the same
as other people. in addition to this
it is costing every newspaper in the
country at .least fifty to sixty per
cent. more to produce their paper
now that: it did before the war, ow-
ing to the advance in paper, ink,
type and other materials.

PLENTY OF COAL. -The United
States Trade Commission tells ion-
sumers to buy small, and goes on to
say that prevailing retail prices for
anthracite coal are unwarranted,
n
d
the : supply for next season is luite
adequate" The commission warn, con-
sumers against buying larger quan-
tities of coal than usual this summer,
saying there are symptoms now of
such 'a buying panic as that which
enabled speculators last winter to
force prices above ,normal. No good
reason exists, says the report, why
IVlay prices .should not he subject to
the usual summer discount, but "if
the public is agaki so deceived as to
indulge in a scramble for coal,- the
favorable situation may be nullirfied;'
The commission ;is keeping in close
touch with the situation and prom-
ises to "expose any unscrupulous
whtylesale jobber, or retailer who
seeks 'to mislead the public, into a
.belief" that exobitant prices are just-
ifiable, or that there is any necessity
to join in: a frenzied bidding to se-
cure immediate delisvery for far fu-
ture needs." Prices for May at the
mines are c1uotted at $3.61. a net torsi

Bravo! Bravo! Canadians who fought
at Vimy Ridge;
You're like Horatio,' of old who held
the famous bridge • ;
Your names o'er all the world will be
On honor's roll ensarolled ;
You fought like heroes and we know
That what you've won you'll hold.
Chorus -
Bravo, Canadians there, three tines
three,
May God protect and guard
,wherever you may be;.
Oh, teats may wet full many an' eye,
and bow full many a head
For men, whose names are, numbered
now amongst the honored dead,
But still 'you comrades who, live on
Will wipe out many a score,
And show the world Canadians
Are ,British to the core:
Chorus
May the brave old bull dog spirit for;
ever more defend
The, Land of Maples and your, homes.
