In supplatnint; hundreds of different
oil products to Canadian consumers
from coast to coast, Imperial last
year took in a Tart e number of dollars.
What happened to it typical dollar''
Well, nearly 56 cents went to buy
raw materials—notably crude
oil—and for freight, a big item
in a big country.
More than 26 Bents went for ope_ .ing
and administrative costs, including
wages and salaries, and for
depreciation. Ten cents of each dollar
went to various governments in
taxes (this does not include the
provincial gasoline tax.)
Half of what was left—or about
4 cents—was put back into the
company's operations. The .other
half was divided among Imperial's
44,000 shareholders, whose
investment makes possible the
company's existence.

an old issue of "The King's Own"under date of November 7, .1914.

' sent to Rev. R. G. MacM.11an, of
Goderich, by Mrs. Ross, widow" of
the late Rev. Mr. Rags, and who
now live at W esiaiount, Quebec.
The article of 1914 read, as fol-
lows:
"Here come the 'Cubs:' Do you
hear. them? Come. they are worth
seeing." and the host and his guests
hurried from the dining -room to
the verandah.
It wasa perfect summer day in'
one of the loveliest sixes in -ell
•
Canada,—the town of, Crock. icir,
Ontario, beautiful for sttuati-)n nn
the shores of the noble Lake
Huron. The glorious sunshine, the
magnificent maples casting their
ample shade over the clean, hroaa
• streets, the bracing breeze from
the dancing lake. and the buoyant
spirit of everybody on this hot raid-
; August day made one feel how
good it was to be alive.
Down the street the "Cubs" were
coining. From every house by the
way interested folk flocked to the
doors to see them. As usual, like
all boys. they were heard before
they were seen. Everyone in Gode-
rich knew them, for s.nce the
month of May the "Cubs" have
been the liveliest organization

On this particular day they were

Like a flash the line paused, each

They were ipoleed worth sc.eing
and worth hearing, too. There
they were in their neat and com-

The--htist, who was a great lover
of boys, addressed a few words to
them, and told them a good story,
to which they gave rapt attention
and expressed appreciation with a
chorus of hearty laughter such as
only sixty boys could give.
At the command of the Cub -
master three cheers and a tiger
were given for the story and the
story -teller; quickly they formed
up again and on they went, whiatl
ing a patriotic air and giving their
Cub yell in refrain.

they could again hear from the

And the CUBS are we.
Such are the Cubs, or Young
Scouts. of Knox -Church, Goderich
--..she first Young Scout organiz-
ation in Canada. And it all came
about in this way. According to -
the rules of the Boy Scout Move-
ment every scout must be at least
twelve years of age. But in Gode
rich as everywhere there were
found a large number of boys from
eight to twelve years as keen and
gregarious as their big brothers,
and eager to do things, but no
organization existed for them.
Gen. Baden-Powell "had recently
announced his intention of organ-
izing a Young Scout Movement to
which he gave the name "Wolf
Cubs," and outlined his constitu-
tion. To the minister of Knox,
and a band of men interested in
these juniors, this seemed to meet
I the situation admirably. The boys
were called, the plan proposed, and
hi a short time the troop es as 'forth -
ed and uniformed.successThe success of the organization
jis assured. The bays are enthusi-
' astic about it. Others not belong -
el
ing to the congregation have asked
to enlist They are fortunate in
having an ideal Cub -master and a
few other interested to diredt
everything. During the summer
several outings every week have
been enjoyed. The interest of the
Cubs is keen and well sustained.
They are instructed in loyalty to
God and the king, and the doing
of a gond turn every day.. They
' have learned to tie the important
knots, and many have bename skill-
ful in the art of bandaging and
rendering first aid. The Cub -
master its a doctor.
Lessons are given to all in the
art of swimming, and before thesers e
summer clovery Cub ten years
of age is expected to know how to P
swim, and use a life -belt. There isTMbetter fun than to see these
sixty Cubs like so many young sea -
lions sporting in the swimming '
pnal of the Maitland River, or air
Lake Huron.
Arrangements have already been
made to have a room specially for
1 the Cubs in the church for the ,
winter months. A programme of
instruction and e n ai: emeni is heing "
prepared. Every Cub is eager to
