Baker, Butcher and Saloon Keep=
er Pay Fines—Journalist
Knocks Prices.
A. despatch from London says:—
Curiously en9ugh, nobody in London
thinks he is a profiteer,' Always the
profiteer is the man on the next street,
away'off over yonder, like the desert
mirage. However, the daily trill of
the London Police Courts grind out
fairly good imitations.
A baker was fined $500 for expos-
ing for sale thirty-four loaves of
bread each two ounces less than the
regulation weight. A butcher was
fined 3100 for selling:imported mutton
at the home -killed price, and making
an overcharge of eight cents on four
lamb chops. A saloon I keeper was
fined $15 and 310 costs because his
barmaid charged thirty cents instead
of twenty-five cents' for two large
glasses of stout.
The recent slight fall in prices is
largely due ton clever journalist writ-
ing an article in his paper, which
other papers copied, saying prices
were down. The public int' forth
after reading, and all over the city
demanded reductions which the mer-
chants had to grant.

BRITISH WITHDRAW
FROM ARCHANGEL
Bolsheviks Raving Lost Corn
Country May be Forced
to Make Terms.
A despatch from London says:—
Unless the unforeseen_ should inter-
fere with Lord Rawlins n,s plans,
evacuation of the British forces from
Archangel should be cempieted by the
end of the month, Major-General Sir
Frederick Maurice says in the Daily
News. It `vii'll then remain to look
after the withdrawal from Murmansk,
which is much the simpler problem of
the two.
He adds that the "immediate abat%
dmiment of the Russian adventure is
simply net possible unless the Allied
powers agree to come to terms with
the Bolsheviks." It seems possible
since they have lost the corn country
of, Ukraine, that the Bolsheviks may
be reduced to extremities by cold and
hunger. Gen. Maurice says that, short
of some such development an which
there are no solid reasons for count-
ing, the,ie is no probability of obtain-
ing a settlement in Russia by present
methods within the next six months.
"That is where we stand to -day," he
says finally.
BRITISH AVIATOR+

feet. He made his trip in a 110 horse-
power airplane, and came from Lon,
don by way of Paris.

Where One Word Gana From.
A fascinating study is that which
searches for the origin of words. Much
of the history of the world is locked
up in the words we use every day, ut-
terly unconscious of their derivation.
When the Arabs carne into Europe
and learned from the nations they en-
countered the wisdom of all the ages
then past, they became deeply interest-
ed in the attempts that the old Greeks
had made to turn other metals into
gof.
d
That it bad been declared to be a
secret and mysterious process made it
all the more fascinating to them. And
so' they became alchemists, and called
themselves Hermetic philosophers, be-
cause tradition declared Hermes This-
megistrs about two thousand years
before Christ had discovered how to
convert the baser metals into gold.
To melt the mouth of a glass tube
so as to close it was called securing it
with "Hermes, his seal,'" We know
little or nothing of Hermes,or when
he lived, or whether he ever lived at
all; but it is curious that even"*o this
day when a bottle or jar is closed so
tbat it is airtight we call it hermitieal-
ly sealed, after this same Hermes.
TI#ANKSGIVING DAX, OCT. 13TH
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Hon. J. C. Doherty stated on Thursday
that in view of Thursday's action in
the House giving the bill for a fixed
holiday a six months' hoist, October
13 would be Thanksfiving Day,
Autumn Wonder,
"A haze on the far horizon.
An infinite, tender sky;
The rich, ripe tint of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod;
Some of us call it autumn,
And others call it God."

A. despatch from London says: ---
British business interests are prepar-
ire the groundwork for a great trade

i the status which British trade held
before the war. Although America

ing millions of dollars because of dis-
turbed eonditiona in the rB•it1ish in-
tuebed condition., in the British in -
that the .shrewd heads of business in
Great Britain are figuring on a time
of stability in the near future, when
the netwcrl; of trade communications
will serve well the purpose for which
it is being laid.
One example of this business fore -
eight is seen in the arrangement
which, it is reported, has been made
with the German Government, By this
agreement Germany is expected to
take 50 per cent. of British manufac-
tures along with quantities of raw
materials.
What big business is doing to per-
feet trade communication is further
shown in the scheme of the Federation
of British Industries to have trade
consuls at the world's chieftrade
centres who will keep Britain inform-
ed on market conditions.

A despatch from London says:--.
Canadian canned fruit representatives
operating here report that distributors
, are ready to take all they can offer.
d The British public is found to be
a_ willing to purchase a Dominion pro-
duct to which the diversity and excel-
lence are a revelation to most people,
d because they have never seen it be -
✓ fore, save in its alluring but unattain-
able form in windows of the Govern-,
Cooke ment offices,
A large distributor states that, as
50 per cent. of these goads are sold to
restaurants, careful grading of fruits
is essential, and the question has been
raised whether a system of Govern-
ment inspection would not prove ad-
vantageous as a guarantee of quality
and a safeguard to the reputation of
Dominion canned goods, which incl./
dentally are a valuable form of inter -
Imperial education, besides being an
excellent advertisement for the ex-
porting Province.
