troubles 'too big to be laughed away,

we would look for it,
Art 'exchange says :—"When business
is poor with the 'big city stores they

No person needs to grow old ment-
ally. There are fresh currents ,of
thought, new ideas ;a;nd accomplish-
ments, enough at any bine to keep the
ambitious individual mentally alert and
fulj of hope. The person that cuts
himself off from these influences does
himself an injustice, and indirectly
helps to retard the progress of society.
- A Winnipeg despatch gives the in-
formation that the United Farriers of
Manitoba have decreased in member-
shsp from 16,000 in 1922 to 5,881 in
1923, a lass of more than 10,000. Out
of 464 local organizations which were
in existence; at the close of 1922, tally
265- had sent in dues for 1923, leaving
199 which were not heard from, These
facts were presented at the meeting
at Winnipeg last week.
In, every municipality in Ontario 1ocal
assessors are commencing their duties
It as too ,often the fact•
that many
engaged in this importantimportantwork do no
realize the duty they owe to the
people for whom they are acting
Sometimes an assessor takes the ro1l
of the previous year and does most of
the asaessamg at home. For this rea-
son many inequalities occur. The as-
sessment roll is the basis .of the voters'
list and -unless the a ls,sessor'visits'every
house he is unable to.secure the names
of all those who are entitled to vote.
When election occurs there are large
rs o
nurrtoe f per f e
ctly qualified voters
whose names have to be added by the
registrar at much cast in time and lab-
or to those who are intenested. Inn
all probability the lists prepared' this
year will be used in the next Domin-
ion election. It is therefore the duty
of every assessor to 'exercise ,special'
care in his work. It is also ,important;
that individuals, men and wornen, :
should sere that their names are plac-
ed upon the assessment raft when the
assessor calls, and if he fails to make
the visit which the lalw •requ es, to no=
notify the reeve or other members of
the council of the neglect, Fortunate-

Sore throats are dangerous things; lo

of the family immediately and gargle
or spray the t hroat with an antisceptic.
If you have nothing better in the house
than baking soda, use it; one teaspoon-
ful in a cup of hot water. Sore throat
applies to some of the merchants in nn its simplest form means an uneasy

WAR -TIME PRESIDENT DEAD.
Over the tradf o news was receivc?d la
e,xeter shortly :after his death on Sun-
day morning at 11.15, oe the passing
at •his home in, Washington, D.C., e f
the war -tin -re p:esvdenit, Woodrow Wil-
son, aged 67 years, after a prolonged
illness, due to nervous breakdown. In
the early stages of the. world war, the
Labe president det
was condemned
ors all
sides for what was considered his
tardiness in throwing the United States
into, the fight'.oln the side of 'thee Al-
lies, but when he. did decirle the re-
oubl.tc formed :a great army end the
people of the country were behind him
That the, United States wascomposed
of people from mean places,; represent
ing +every mations, woes perhaps the
main' reason why the president was not
quick to decide to enter the conflict
It took much time and horrible, trad-
edy to make his people eee that there
was only once c'ourse to pursue,, The
lamentable feature of the case is that
he was not continued, Sas: presideelt af•
ter peace was declared so that his
country could have taken an • active
part wit, 'thee, League of 'Nations, which
was his oven proposal Had such beim
the case world conditions might have
been much better then 'they here do -day;
The, bitterness' of his - disappointment
that he was not ptermitted, to carry
on at that time, must shave been a great
worry' to hem. His, funeral wase of the
simplest nature, in view of his lack of
