Study Your Investment.
Because something is offered you for little money does not
necessarily mean that it is a good investment. The value of
an investment should be carefully figured on the return it will
likely bring.
If your Investment is in Town or City Real Estate, there
will be no profit made it the Town or.city is not growing. If
the Town or City is not growing or at a standstill, property
decreases, you lose.
If the Town or City is growing and likely to grow and your
property is in the growing area it advanced at double the per-
centage of increase of population.
Winnipeg's Building Permits amounted to $20,000,000 in
1912 and to 118,650,000 in 1013. It kept right on 'growing
during the' bard times.
The prospects for 1914 are much brighter now than they
were at this time last year. Winnipeg is bound to grow, hard
times or easy times. Conditions demand a great City just
where Winnipeg ie situated.
Don't shut your eyes to the Investment Value of Hanover
Place as it is on the line of the best Developing Residential Dis-
trict now in Winnipeg, You may be offered lots elsewhere for
less money bat study closely whether they are likely to.increase
in value, and what is the reason for such expected increase.
Our prices are $225.00 a lot and up according to location.

The Men Who Are Governing
Canada.
Hon. W. T. Crothers, Minister
Of Labour.
The second Minister of Labour in the
history of Canada is Hon. T. W
Crothers, and he has occupied that
portfolio since the advent of the
Borden Government in 1911. If a
man's work is judged by its real prac.
tical results there can be no question
of the value of the services which Mr,
Crothere has rendered, not alone to
the cause of labour, but to the welfare
of the people of Canada generally by
the policy which he has pursued in
handling his department,
The Minister of Labour -is not a
novice in public life. From early man-
hood he has been in the front of the
political life of his old home district-
Weetern Ontario. A good fighter al-
ways, "Tour" Crathers, as he is fam-
iliarly known to his associates, was
never found wanting in the day when
pie, services were needed in any good
ceruse, and before he entered the
federal field he had made for himself a
record in Ontario for practical work
on behalf of the people. The man wilt
uvestigated the fatuous "school -book
ring," and broke it up, and then re-
fused to accept one cent for hie rer-
elope on behalf of the people is the
type of man that Ontario knew web
Sing before he became a national
figure at the Capital.
11 E IS A FIG.ITEi3.
The roan's manner is one that sug
Bests optimism and a healthy outlook,
Virility and earneet.nees are stamped
upon every movement of the Minister
of Labour, and it is an inspiring sight
to witness him, with his back to th•
wall, fighting his opponents from
every quarter. This eession the Liber
al forces seem to have combined in at
attempt to diecredit the labour de•
partment, assuming that since the em
of the regime of lion, W. L. Mac
kenzie Xing nothing good hes menet
ed from that region of legislative
action. But the attempts have sadly
failed, and notably the last attempt,
when the Opposition brought up the
question of the Vancouver Island
strikes, and sought to lay upon the
Minister's shoulders the blame for the
protracted nature of that labour strug-
gle. Out .of that encounter, which last-
ed over several days, the Minister not
wily emerged unscathed, but he coun-
t •red on hitt critics aced drove them in.
to confusion.Particularly did E. M.
Macdonald, Liberal member for Pictou
come out of that battle with wounde
that he will long remember.
WORK EXTENDEb.
One feature of the work of the Las
bur Department since Mr. Crothere
took hold of its operations is the great
ettenpton of ite work, This ie not to
be construed as indicating that there
bays been more labour troubles, be.
cause the very opposite is the ease in
that regard, The point to be noted is
that Mr. Crothere hat enlarged the
scope of his department, has added to
tt what might be ten:nett conetruetive
feature*, and Is today laying the
foundation of work to be done in the
future that will have far•reaehing re -
Juke for the people of We country.
The viewpoint of the Minister of
L•tbeur on his field of work may be
understood by the following quota-
tion from a letter which he wrote after
coming into office -"It may occur to
you that I am dealing with a matter
:hat does not directly concern n e.
That, however, I do not admit. It,
auy event, I am determined, so far r a
le me lies, sweeping wide all forms,
to secure for the wage workers of time
country a equare deal."
FEMALE LABOUR.
It is in line with this policy that
many of the important moves have
been made by the Department of
Labour during the last two years.
Realizing that the condition of female
workers throughout Canada had not
received the attention that it deserv.
ed, Mr. Crothers had female corres-
pondents appointed in four of the
principal cities of Canada, with a view
to securing first hand information
that could be used in improving con-
ditions of women workers, and of
those of both sexes young in years.
This move has been well justified by
results, and has brought reforms al-
ready. Although the matter lies with-
in provincial juriediction, many fat.:
tortes have also been inspected and
material improvement suggested and
accomplished.
In many inetanees the Minister has
taken up with private interests what
he considered ill-treatment of workers,
and a remedy has, in almost every
ease, been cheerfully applied.
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.
A. tnattor of very great importance
that came to the Minister's attention
some time ago had to do with cone
plaints that certain employment
agencies were making exorbitant
charges for securing work, Mr. Croth-
ers at once had one of his officers
investigate this matter, with the result
that he found the complaints were well
founded, and that conditions were
very bad, one agent having secured
$10,000 from working men in a period
of three months.
With a view to preventing such
treatment of immigrants in particular.
Mr. Crothere prepared regulationre
under the Iwtnigration Act for the
protection ofiinmigrante, under which
TM employment agency May now deal
with immigrants without having first
taken out a license issued by the Im•
migration Department, Inspectors
were appointed to see that the regu•
lations were enforced, and already
convictions have been secured for non-
observance of the regulations. Be -
cognizing the benefits that come from
these protective regulations, the Gov.
ernment is now contemplating extend-
ing them to all agencies for the better
protection of all workers, who may be
eompelled to have dealings with these
labour agencies,
CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.
Last summer Mr. Crothers trade a
trip to England with theapecial object
of enquiring into the workings of the
Labour Bureau system in operation
there. Ile learned that when It was
first introduced it did hot meet with
much approval, but that later the syn
tem had become very popular. Al.
thoughoonditlone are materialiy'dif-
ferent in Canada Froth what they are
in England, Mr. Crothere Is no* icon.
ate
sidering whether it would not be well
to make a beginning in this line in.
Canada with the poesibility of mater.
i tl benefit to the people generally.
Another line of work towhich the
Minister of Labour has given his.
hearty support is the administration
of what is known as the Fair Wages
Resolution. This is a very important
part of the work of the department,
the number of fair wage echedules
prepared last year being much greater
than in any previous year. These
fair wage echedules are prepared in
accordance with the terms of the
resolution, and thesohedulee represert
the minirnutn rates of wages payab'e
to the several classes of labour em-
ployed on Dominion Government
wocke of construction throughout
Canada. At preeent the departure* t
has five officers engaged in such work,
three having beep added since I1ir.
Crothere took oharge, with the reeult
that much more effective work is now
being done along the lines mentioned.
Mr, Crotbers has under consideration
the appointment of another officer,
who will devote his whole time to
matters relating of the Maritime Pro-
vinces.
TWO YEARS' WORE,
Viewedees a whole, the work which
Mr. Crothers has carried out in the
last two years and a half has made his
department a most efficient instru-
ment for the betterment of living con-
ditions in Canada and for the up -
building of the workingman's con-
dition in Canada. This has been
marked in every feature of bis work.
The man behind it all, bighearted,
kindly and sympathetic to all that
makes for better living in Canada,
has a power that is being exerted in
every province of Canada.

Auto Accident Near Hanover.
The following from the Owen Sound
Times is an account of an auto acci-
dent which occurred near Hanover on
Wednesday evening :----"Mr. Gordon
N. Griffin was seriously injured In an
automobile accident at Hanover on
Wednesday evening, That he escaped
from being instantly killed is consider-
ed nothing short of a miracle, for he
was thrown about 20 feet, (striking his
head with full force on the road. His
jaw bone is broken in three places, and
he was brought to Owen Sound Hos-
dital were the fractures were success-
fully reduced. His face was badly
bruised and scratched and he aleo re-
ceived bodily injuries where he was
evidently struck by the car. When
first picked up it was thought the ac-
cident would prove fatal, but fortun-
ately the injuries were not as serious
as they appeared, and the doctors look
for a speedy recovery. It was evi-
dent that the accident occurred as a
result of a depression in the roadbed
about six inches deep by two feet long.
The car was} travelling at a good rate
of speed and when the front wheel*
struck this depression one of the
wheels gave way, and in an instant
the car had turned turtle, throwing
the men out with ferrible force. Mr.
Griffin is a eon of Mr. and Mrs, C. N.
Griffin of Wingham.
