THE YEAR 1920 The year 1920 will be leap year, consequently February will have 29 days. Spring will ,commence March 20. Summer, on June 21st, autumn, Sept, 23, and winter Dec. 21st. There will be four eclipses two of the sun and two of the moon. Two of them will be visible in Can- ada, one of the moon on May 2nd and partial eclipse of the sun on Noy. 10th. hence the smoked glass business won't boom much. New Years day and Christmas day will come on Thursday and Saturday respectively. Easter Sunday falls on Thursday. To•give people a good chance to get to church February, May, August and October will have five Sundays each. Weather pro- babilities enkindles hope for dealers in umbrellas, waterproofs and rub- bers. Many marriages are assured as the ladies do the proposing and get the man or a silk dress.

This is all the more ter- rible because most of them might have been saved had they been helped in time. Here is a case in point. Several years ago a man came to the Mus- koka Free Hospital for Consump- tives. He had been on Active Ser- vice in Africa, where hardship and exposure had broken down his health. Suspicious of his symptoms he sought our aid. A short time ago he wrote: "Through your Hospital a soldier of the South African War regained his health and a family a happy home." This is not an isolated case, for many others have been restored to health and anxious families. It takes much money to carry on the work. Your gift, for whatever amount, will be gratefully received. Contributions may be sent to Sir William Gage, 84 Spadina avenue, or George A. 'Reid, 223 College street, Toronto.

The proceeds of the anniver- sary and entertainment were $62.00. Christmas Sunday was observed in the church on Sunday when approp- riate sermons were preached by the pastor.

SI Mc J.'WILLIS POWELL, Exeter, Ontario, Canada i Grape Pruning For the Garden. The average neglected grapevine is generally such a tangled mess that it is very difficult to describe how to prune it. The owner should de- termine what sort of a trellis he means to fasten his vine on. If there are a number of vines in a row the general practice is to grow it on two wires, these to be drawn tight on posts about 16 feet apart, first wire three feet and second wire five feet from the ground. If only one or two vines are in a place it can be grown on a trellis made of two narrow strips of board nailed to posts. One thing never to be overlooked is all fruit is produced on last year's wood. Most neglected vines have too much old wood. Try to get one or two upright canes of two-year-old wood or older with four arms or younger canes equally distributed on the two wires. These arms shou not be over six feet long, giving f arms of this length. This is cient bearing wood for any vi pose the upright part is s and there are four arm these arms laterals will grow;on which duced.

The smile upon .a friendly face Holds nothing that Is commonplace It's fresh as sunlight and the dew, And through the years it's ever new, Though other joys grow cold and stale, The charms of friendship never fail. Men weary of the world they cry, And I can only wonder why, For every rising of the sun Brings splendid things to look upon, And every day we wake to.vlew The least of us is born anew. Who wearies of the friendly hand That's waved to hien across the land? Who, when he opens wide the door, Does not rejoice to hear once more His neighbor's salutation gay At the commencement of the day. Who is not glad that he can see Day after day the self -same tree? Who cannot turn his eyes on high And find new splendors in the skY. And who would stamp as common- place, The beauty of a loved one's face. In all men are, in all they do, There is a tetra that's ever new. Despite the care and pain of strife There's no monotony to life. Though nothing new exists we're told The truth is there is nothing old. By Edgar A. Guest. • PRESENT HIGH PRICES WILL LONG OBTAIN Toronto Sunday World There is no hope of the cost of living coming down very quickly. According to expert economists in the political economy department of the University of Toronto, the on- ly way in which this could be ac- complished would be thru hard times which entail untold suffering and would be quite undesirable from an economic standpoint. The best that can be expected is a gradual reduction thru a period of twenty- five years or so when prices may a- gain be down to something near pre- war status. The two causes of high prices are of course, too little pro duction and too much paper curren- cy. When production is gradually resumed and paper money is grad- ualIy retired, then prices will come back to normal. At present there is more money than goods in the coun- try, which naturally results in great- er competition for the goods and higher prices paid for them. In this regard Professor Macivor points out that war loans may give quite a decided boost to the cost of living. Of course owing to the extra- ordinary financial condition of the country due to war, the Victory Loan was absolutely impera:,: ve, the only alternative being excessive taxation which would have almost been an impossible burden. Nevertheless the Victory Loan, by increasing the a- mount of money in the country must have some effect on prices. The in- crease is effected in the following manner. A business concern buys bonds to the extent of $100,000,thus handing over that amount of ready money for use of the country. The business concern then deposits its bonds in some bank and uses its credit on them to the extent of $30,- 000. The credit on the bonds is as good as cash and thus $80,000.00 is created out of thin air. One of the very first steps to tiie reduction of costs would the having a good world ha This would mean a reduction in cost of primary commodities whi would bring considerable relief.H ever this could not be expected to tend over more than one y - would-be more or less of ary aid.
