Some busisieSre8s 1fIC1 soiree Sccupations call fora breaking down of
the Zast-iron partitions which we are apt to erect between what the'I
Vtlirld is pleased to call "a living" and a "hobby."
When we have worked for some time at earning a "living" we are,
apt to be suddenly aware that something of strength, something of alert-,
,nese, some virtue" has gone out of us. And in order to get back, we
set about recreating that lost strength, By nature man is not d "special-
ist." Yet we all know, to our cost, the tendency of modern business -life,
Isthink so highly, as to be always
is to make him so. The pressure of "business" of which we beast, theystem, the competition, of which we
ln pursuit of it, is in reality a Juggernaut, a fierce feudal overlord of
'the worst type, since we are in bondage to it without knowing it. We
actually take our chains lovingly to our hearts.
Sometimes the awakening comes in the form of a rude shock. A:
physician's dictum. But as often as not in quite another form. That
subtle and yet tangible shock received when some younger, fresher mind,
!some "mere c•hit of a fellow" beats us at our own genie. That is the,
awakening that hurts. Because we know that at the club, other men
aro saying "Fell down on the job." Whereas the truth is, "Stuck to his
job, not wisely but too well," would be so much nearer the truth.
When civilization first began itS pressure. When business first
began to be so intense we felt we "could not leave it," the number of
break -downs was terrific. But just' about that time we began to see
that to go down and out was not playing the game, ,liut surrendering.,
surrendering not altogether to pressure from without but to weakness
;within—a failure to stand-up against "fearful odds"—unexpected lunges.
And so we began to east about for a means of strength—that iron -
strength of nerve—which would stanci,up squarely under ordinary fire
and rise like a well -trimmed ship to meet the waves of unexpected storms.
This thing has been thought out and acted upon as a positive con-
dition of modern life and business we may say within the past twenty
years, and more firmly yet within the last ten years.
Men now go away and leave their business at least once each year.
And the wiser take a vacation not only in summer but in winter as well.
The more intense the business, the heavier the fire, the greater need for
re-inforcing that strength which is burned out. The greater need for
the gathering up of new ideas.
IS So, when you see a business -man, a banker or railroad president, or
o c,ompany official, or any other desk -ribbon jockey casting the fly on
the French River, or exhibiting the skin of a Nipigon trout sketched -
on a board, pleased as any school boy who has carried his bat out ab
cricket, or kicked a goal for the school team, you know him not se
much for a great sport as for a goad business man. The very fact that
he belongs to those who get back to Nature wins your confidence, You
know him for a man who has the business situation of the day in hand.

Will give you more miles for each
dollar of cost—prove it—test them
with any other tire.andh„
by the hearty hospitality shown
themat Torquay and at Exeter. 'They
have a fortnight's hard prograu1Me
of eight seeing and entertaining a-
head of them, and I'm wondering
whether there will be an. urgent call
for ambulances by the time they
reach Scotland.
These journalists control, weekly
newspapers strung out right across
the 1)ondnion of Canada, and it is
well that they, who have so much t'd
do with the formation bf public opin-
ion 'in the Dominion, shoUld carry a-
way with them pleasant recollections
of the Motherland. They are dear
people, whom it has been a real joy
to meet and show round, and one
hopes that they will take across the
Atlantic abiding memories of happy
days and lasting friendships.
In concluding a welcoming speech
to the visitors, the Mayor of Exeter
said he believed their visitors were
sorry to leave the West Country—
(applause). He hoped it would not
be very long before...they came back
again. Ile had much pleasure in.pre-
posing the health of " Our Guests,"
and in asking Mr. Creech, of "The
Advooate," Exeter, Ontario, Canada,
—a little town which hoped.senre
day, it might be 500 years, hence, to
be at least as important as this old
• City of Exeter—to reply—(ap-
plause).
• Mr. Creech said he was bUrn in the
small town of Exeter, Ontario, and
his father was born in the City of
Exeter, England, so it was with very
special pleasure that he rose to speak
on that occasion.
Mr. Creech added. that they had
been overwhelmed with kindness.
The visit had been profitable -to
• themselves and would also be to
their'readers, who would be told of
all the things they had seen. Many
•people in Exeter, Ontario, had come
from Exeter and the neighborhood,
and fror* Devon,--(dpplause). Mr.
Creech referred to ,the visit of his
friends and himself in Belguim,
where they saw the battlefields of
Flanders, where so many of their
sons gave their lives; to France and
to England, where they first were
welcomed in London. After visiting
the Midlands they came on to Tor-
quay. Their visit to Devon had been
most refiehing. They had realized
that the hospitality of D.evonians
could not be beaten.—(applause).
Exeter had a very close place to his
heart. , His father lived there for
many years, and therefore, to him it
was like home.—(hear hear): It was
the pioneer settlers from Devon, who
gave the name of Exeter to the town
in Ontario, where they hewed out for
themselves a home in what was then
a wildeinese,'t and which had now be -
collie the Garden. of Canada.—(ap-
plause). The making of Devonshire
cream there was, he could tell them,
not a lost art, and if Sir James and
Lady Owen came to Ontario they
would be welcomed in Exeter, and
would be treated to Devonshire
cream.— (applanse). 'Mr.- Creech
spoke in appreciative terms of the
spirit which animated the two Exe-
ters in exchanging school flags, and
said he had been asked by his Edu-
cation Authority to convey to the Ed-
Itee,tion„al A1110rity of Exeter. (Dev-
on) their greetings.—(applause).
Mr. J. MoSouthcott proposed ."The
South -Western Federation of the
Newspaper Society." and conveyed
to them the greetings of the Mayor,
Burgesses, and Council of Exeter,
Ontario. Pioneers from the shores
of Devon with great self-sacrifice and
indomitable courage, hadThuilt up in
Ontario, houses and communities of
which all Devonians might be justly
proud.—(hear, hear). and liaq: left
behind monuments to their naemory
that were true to the British 'tradi
tions. They had instilled into their
descendants that loyalty which had
ever been the characteristic of the
people. Canadians insisted that those
coming to Canada should conform to
Canadian ideals, which were really
British ideals.—(hear, hear)., "We
stretcli out our hands' to welcome
you," said Mr. Soutlicott, "and you
will. know that you will still be under
the old Union Jack."—(applause).
There had been differences between
Canada and the Mother Country, but
they never doubted the Motherland's
sincerity. Canadians were grateful;
for the breaking down of the barriers
against the importation of. Canadian
cattle, and they would be pleased if
the homeland could see its way to
give the Dominion some preference
in trade, which would be to the mu-
tual advantage of both countries.—
(applause).
The toast was heartily drunk and
the Chairman acknowledged the
compliment.

More divorces were granted by the
federal parliament to persons in the
Provinces of Ontario and Quebec dur-
ing the past session than ever be.,
fore. One hundred and thirty-one
divorce bilis became law during the
1924 session, which was an increase
of 14 over 1923. There has been a
marked increase in divorces granted
by parliament since 1918, when
there were only 12. In 1919 there
were 49; in 1920, there were 101.
In 1922 the figures dropped to 90,
but last year there were 117 and this
year 131.
