CIAWFORD out BORROWING MONEy, Be Sure Deferred Charge; Can Be Met Before incurring Them. One reason why corporations have not been looked upon with friendly eyes is the feet that they have adopt- ed financing methods of which we don't approve ,-,r+:i:,•.• a• 1al.f. You and I have been taught to be- lieve that we'd better do without et thing unless we have the money to pay for it. To us that seems to be safe an sane thriat doctrine. But when corporations became nu., morons they adopted another plan. They decided not towait until they could pay for what they wanted if they could borrow money with which to make the purchase. They began to load upon themselves "deferred charges." Certain charges of this kind, of course, 'are jtistlfed; when it can be proved without the shadow of a doubt that what will be earned by borrowed money is more than the cost of the loan, borrowing is justified. But not otherwise, So Intelligent thrift practice in the home and the family can be measured by the same 'test. If you're going into debt to buy a home you should be able to demonstrate mathematically by bor- rowing money to buy a home you will in the end save more In rent than the cost of the land and house. repairs' and taxes and insurance. You have no business to place any "deferred charge" upon your individ- ual resources or those of your family that those who come after you will not cheerfully pay because they recognize that it is n just charge. The test ought to be: "If I should die tomorrow would my heirs prefer to go on meeting these ('barges rather than allow them to 6e defaulted?" it is when the answer of either the individual or a new board of corporation directors is in the nega- tive that we see the unwisdom of much borrowing in anticipation of ben- efits or earnings. If you're honest, "deferred charges" have to be met, and if 'you 'have • lad much experience you will know that it Isn't often that the future develops as well as you think it will.—John M. Os- 1<is0n in Chicago News. PRISONERS OF WAR. Code of Honor by Which Their Treat- ment Is Governed. In ancient times prisoners of war were killed unless, ,of course, the bel- ligerents found it more profitable to exchange or liberate them for ransom. But today nations are bound to one an- other by a code of honor which forbids Inhuman treatment of prisoners. Prisoners are subjected to no puh- ishment in any form. Neither must they be placed in a 'convict prison, a1 - though they may be detained in a fortress, camp or town. A. reasonable supply of nourishment must be provid- ed them by their captors, and they are regarded as being in the power of the government of the captor and not un- der the control of those who actually capture them. All personal belongings remain in the custody of the prisoner, but arms, horses and military papers can be con- fiscated, these constituting booty. Governments can put their prisoners of war to work, but only such work as accords with the prisoner's rank and capacity; also the work must not be, excessive or relate to military matters, and in all cases must the labor'be paid for. A prisoner always lives in hope ot. being exchanged for a prisoner of his own government. The exchange is ef- fected in accordance with agreements, in which time, place and method of ex- change are fully detailed. This is gen-' erally that of strict equivalents, man for man, rank for rank, disability for disability. . An officer can obtain a greater free- dom of movement or certain privileges while being a prisoner of war if he makes out a parole, a written or verbal promise. An officer giving his parole pledges his honor to refrain from a par- ticular course of conduct, and if he makes a breach of this guarantee he is liable to the extreme penalty.—Pear- son's Weekly. Battleships Now and Then. • A battleship today is not the.same as a battleship In Nelson's day. The old wooden three decker could only be de- stroyed by long and desperate close quarter fighting. It would stand hours . of battering. It would take hundreds of shot and still be capable of fighting. But today one unlucky shot, one blow from a torpedo, and the great fighting machine is a heap of scrap iron.—Lon- don Graphic. Weeping Willows. The weeping willow, so called (see eutific name S. babylonica), is n na- tive of China, from which country it has been taken over most of the dye lized earth. It varies in height and dimensions according to climate and soil and invariably maintains its • drooping habit, the chief cause of its attractiveness. --New York American. Not Always Suppressed.

There are four families In this apartment whose children take music lessons." — Balli:. more Ameriean. The Duke Struck It "The duke was about bankrupt when he married Miss Mlllyuns." "Then you don't think it was a leve match?" "No; it Was a safety match from the duke's point of view." — New 'fork Globe.

He had suffered con- siderably for the past few weeks with his heart and nerves and was very wishful to "go home" and be at rest. Deceased was born in Beckwith town- ship, Lanark Co., on October 16th, 1826. As a young roan he taught school for several years and later clerked for a Lumber Co. on the Ottawa river. In 1852 Mr. MacNaughton carne West to Huron, where he settled on a farm in the 9th con.. 'Grey' township, where he lived for a number of years, afterward moving to Brussels where he lived up to his demise, following various occupa- tions but always busy. Of late .years he Looked after the garden and worked even as late as last Spring. The sub- ject of this notice was a great reader and had a wonderful memory, retaining it almost to the last. In 1855 Mr, Mac - Naughton married Margaret Tenneson, who pre -deceased him in March 1888. The family consists of Donald F., of Oakland, California; Dr. H. J., of Pen Yan, N. Y.; Mrs. Parker Foster, Kin- cardine; Mrs, Ira Parker and Miss Mary, of; Brussels. MORRIS The Morris Township Voters' List for 1915 was first posted up Wednesday of this week.

Taylor, 9th line, who enlisted to do duty in a mounted Brigade from Edmonton, has arrived safely across the seas. We hope while he aids in fighting the Em- pire's battles that he will suffer no harm. Mr. Taylor spent several years in the West since leaving Morris town- ship. W. B. Findlater. the newly elected member for Gilbert Plains, was • a for- mer resident of Howick township, his father, Alex. Findlater, being now a resident of Belmore. He is a nephew of Wm.

The appeals from Annie McMillan and Samuel Creighton against benefit assessment and of John Stewart against location and for a bridge were left over to next meeting. By-law on the McCall Drain Extension was finally adopted. Report on the Robb Drain was read and provisionally adopted. By-law was passed to empower Reeve and Treasurer to borrow money to carry on the business of the Township till the taxes are collected. Clerk was instructed to make appli- cation to the Railway Commission at Ottawa to have an order made to pro- vide a culvert where the Turvey Drain crosses the G. T. R. lands.

Editor Times.—Every newspaper in this city—every writer of headlines—is in the conspiracy to make "Prussian'" at least part of the extension of "Ger- man." It is always assumed that a Prussian, as such. is a German, like the Saxons, Wurtiembergers and the Rheine latnders; the fact is that a Prus- sian as such is not a German. Trio ethnological basis of Prussia is Lettish, like the ethnological basis of Lithuania. The Lettish stock, the uriginal stock of the Prussian people, is for most people a dark and difficult matter. One thing the ethnologists have agree ri to predicate about it: It is not Araan., This much may he' of at least tem other indigenous races of Europe: the Hungarian Magyars and the Basques or Northern Spain. For cunvenre"nc,-. to disguse the limitations of their 'ar, knowledge, the philologists and ethn •le, - gists of fifty years ago used to group under the denomination "'Turanian" ell the races which could not he elu-st'd n either Aryan or Semitic; so the Mag- yars, the Basques, the Lithuanians, and the Prussians, like the Japanese and Iioren ts, may be placid in this negative , ..egory, but in so far as they are Prussian they are not German, and not Aryan. Whatever t°re may think of German conduct in and efficient preparation for. the present war, the most wonderful feat of -the Hohenzolierns and their supportets in the last three or four centuries has been the persistent and eventually triumphant annexation of Aryan Germany by Turanian Prussia. First, the Hoh. nzollern (was it Albrecht of Mai z?) seized the possessions, and the pretensions, of the Church in heathen Prussia, converting them to his own family and personal uses - Then, assi.,ted by come of partly Turan- ian origin, such as one with the distinct- , ly '1 urauian name of Bismarck, the later flolienzollerns annexed the Aryan 1angnal a and name of Germany so that now the Prussians for the most part use the German tongue quiet as if it were their own (just as the old Norman used the Roman tongue, only that the ' Nurse at least were Aryans), and in , this twentieth century all the Germans fa !,'neral danced to the tune called by W 1t • ho nail -Aryan, non-Christian Prus- sia, v, i:iie many of them no doubt look in{n.n Prussian as a being superlatively (z.•rnaar. And yet it is little more than I fee's; -Firs ago that a German, whose suriimae happened to he "Preuss," j terin:tll;: changed it to "Vischer" so'as t., ay.,id the reproach of being advertis- ed as a benighted bebtlien and a boor.— rm.
