BASE metal is no £t
setting for the got•
den voice of a great
singer. So -in the new
Edison Phonograph, the
Reproducing Point is a
Diamond.
This gem is a per-

PHONOGRAPH
(THE INSTRUMENT WITH THE DIAMOND POINT)
the liquid, melting, thrilling tones of the glorious grand opera voices
come to you in aU their ravishing richness and clarity. To hear
Martinelli and Bonoi-Luorezia Bori and Anna Case-Polese and
Caronna-is a treat indeed ; and they are heard at their best with
the new Edison Phonograph.
The new Edison Phonograph has the diamond reproducing point, unbreakable
and long playing records, superior motors send construction, concealed horns, and the
Cabinets arc trade in true Period styles, in perfect harmony with the finest furniture.
Remember, you have a standing invitation to call and let us play for you any
Record, or any number of Records, that you care to hear.
Whether you have an EDISON-or intend to get one -come it; and see the
new instruments and hear the new records.

eibly the approach of winter and the
need of such garments ae Canadian
factories are asked, to turn out may
resale in better prices being obtained,
It le not likely, however, that orders
will be rejected that will yield a mar-
gin of profit, however, small. With
the improved domestic demands for
the produce of our factories and the
special orders from the British Gov.
it can be safely assumed that for the.
next two or three montbs our indus-
tried centers will not he dull,
In the rural districts to a le remains
steady. There is not whet might be
called a boom nor is there likely to be
one. Travelers find, however, that
country merchants are doing a good
normal business. In the Nest re-
tailers say that the business they date
doing is possibly not as large as 4.0 tl
but customers are paying for what
they get A smaller business when

large business when: payments ale

Farmers Holding Grain.
The very light receipts of grain by
the railway companies indicate that
the farmers are hoiding all the .wheat
they can. There is a general expec-
t anion that prices will advance, I
the farmers can afford to bo d grain it
can be safely assumed that they have
money. Trade will not be restricted
on that account.
Finances and Bueineee
No better evidence of the t•xiet•eece
of buying power in the rural com-
munities can be produced then that
is so many districts municipal securi-
ties hitherto marketed at the le.rg
fiaaneial centers have been dit:posed of
in the localities where the bonde or
securities were issued. Some Ontario
towns have issued debentures that
have been over -subscribed. The Co-
terie Government loan bearing 5 per
cent. has been ve y yell received. Ap-
plications,for it ate coming in from all
over the Dominion. This cannot he'
regarded as other than a go el hign
At least it indicates that there is
money in the country.
Where the Shoe Pinches
Business men, no doubt. noted with
some satisfaction that Minister White
has obtained money wherewithal to
finance Canada's war expenditure.
The money for that will be furnished
by thaImperial Government until the
war ende. Moreover, the geode we
supply for war purposes, If our muni-
cipalities continued to expend money
in the way they have been doing, and
in some casae are doing, they will )and
themselves in difficulty. Ta -,y c taunt
get money to proceed with capital
t,xpenditure on the scale of former
years. Loan companies have ce.tse i
to lend and that puts a stop to build
ing operations. Brick plant?, hard-
ware hotisee, and similar iustitur,ioue,
will find their business decline steadi-
ly nore will it be possible to indicate
what they may expect until after the
winter months have passed and the
duration of the war, or the ultimate
effects of it, can be gauged.
For the w Ind.r, therefore, the bu,i-
nese outlook is not, under the circum-
stances, gloomy. Unemployment is
net so accentuated es to seriously re-
duce the demand for farm help.
The Best Augury.
An excellent augury in respect of
business following the winter is tho
very extensive preparation being male
for a larger crop acreage. From all
sources reliable reports indicate that
the country as a whole has rea'izad
how important it is that prbduclion
should be increased. With better
farming, a larger acreage and normal
crop weather during 1915 there is a
likelihood of Canada recovering from
the effects of the war vary rapidly. -

LENGTH OF SCHOOL HOURS
New Rule Adopted in Montreal Does
Away With Home Work
'What should be the "hours of labor"
of the school pupil? A lively discus-
sion of this question started among 1
Montreal teachers and parents Dy a
new rule inaugurated by the Catholic
School Board. Formerly the pupils
bf the Catholic Schools of Montreal
attended classes from y a.m. to noon
and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and were
given a certain amount of work to
prepare at home for the following
day. The new schedule brings the
pupils to their desks at 8.30 a.m. and
keeps them at work until 5 p.m. with
an hour for luncheon and two brief
intervals for relaxation. These hours
are for th • pupils of the third and
higher grades. The idea is that the
pupils shall have no home work, but 1
shall devote the extra hour in the
afternoon to preparation of the next
day's lessons. This sounds like a ,
good arrangement, in theory, but in 1
practice it is found to have several
faults. The teachers declare that in
the higher grades one hour is not
sufficient for the pupils to prepare
their work for the next day's lessons,
and, of course, under the new arrange•
ment the pupils are not compelled to
do any work at home. Therefore one t
hour's preparation is all they get.
The parents complain that the new I
egulation increases the difficulty of a
ooking after their children. Under
he old-time schedule when the child- 0
en were dismissed from school they
were generally allowed the remain- i
er of the afternoon for recreation.
After supper they settled down to 1
repare their lessons. Now there are
no lessons to be done after supper, 1
nd parents say that it is much har- t
er- to keep the youngsters off the
treets at night.
STORM SIGNALS
Canada's system for storm warnings
is quite simple but interesting. These
signals are hoisted at specific places
called drums and are as follows:
1. For daylight signal a bucket,
shaped like a liquid funnel, right side
up hoisted on a pole; and for night
signal a red light indicates a gale at
first from an easterly direction.
2. Same as No. 1 reversed, narrow
side i p for daylight; for night signal
a while light over the red indicates
a gale at first from a westerly direc-
tion.
3. Same as No. 1 but with a round
shaped drum over the funnel for day-
light and a red light for night indi-
cates a heavy gale at first from an
easterly direction.
4. With funnel over drum for day-
ight and a white light over red one
at night indicates a heavy gale from
at first a westerly direction.
INDUSTRIOUS SETTLERS
Doukhobors, Though Sometimes
Troublesome, Have Done Well
The Doukhobors, in their compara-
ively few years of residence in
Canada, have prospered amazingly.
n the Kootenay valley, near Nelson,
nd in the Kittle valley, near Grand
Forks, the society owns 14,000 acres
f the richest fruit land in the world.
One of the largest brick -making plants
n Canada is that tfounded by the
Doukhobors at Yorkton. Since their
mmigratfon from Manitoba to British
Columbia they have increased their
andholdings, and, notwithstanding
heir primitive way of living, they
make very successful farmers.

THE SIX -0' CLOCK MAN
She Fprmer's Hired Man Should
Think of Employer's Interest
Did you ever Loud, that the man
- wino sits on the fence for ten minutes
waiting for the hands of his watch to
get around to seven o'clock before he
starts the day's work on the farm,
and the man who would unhitch his
horses at the far end of the field
when the bell or whistle announced
the hour of six p.m., are usually the
poorest men in the field between the
hours of seven and twelve and one
and six? Nlo man who is taking the
interest he should in his farmer em-
ployer's work is so particular to a
few minutes morning or evening. Do
not thing for one moment we are
advocating long days. Not at all. As
a general practice they are a detri-
ment to progress. No one can blame
men for not wanting to work from
daylight until dark. Just be reason-
able. Quit at six as a general rule,
but do not object to an hour or two
later if conditions demand it, -Far-
mers' Advocate.

Ode the cow o: the alio ». This, like
nil other live stock and agr.oultural
comparloon:;, uepends more on the
candler than on the stock,
All IWuin of farts animals will GUC-
ceed slid become profitable when
properly handled. This we see on all
sides; it heel boon proven. The ques-
tlon, nowadays is, will the owner or
handler of live stock make a success
out of the business of handiing ptock?
The business itself is a success, but
the handler often t oes not know any-
thing about the business of handling
stock, and therefore fails in obtaining
the best results or even moderate
results.
Tho sheep is a profitable animal on
the farm and has made a very profit-
able animal on the range when sys-
tematically handled, The cow is a
profitable animal on the farm when
used as a dairy feature, and the far-
mer who has an aptitude for dairy
management and .airy work will make
a success with the cow in this line
of industry.
The relative cost of keeping the
cow and the sheep Cannot be figured
accurately, owing to the variation in
the size and feeding capacity of these
animals. The experiences of those
who have thought they observed
tests closely are widely different in
their estimates, ranging all the way
from five to ten sheep, as an equiva-
lent to a cow in matter of feed con-
sumed and expense of keeping. All
sheep and all cows are not on an
equal basis in consumption of feed,
It is fair, however, to presume that
on an average of six sheep can be
kept on the feed required for a 1.,000 -
pound cow.
The keeping of a few sheep on the
farm where there are pastures fenced
to hold them is a bare proportion of
any farmer. Even the dairy ,farmer
may find it profitable to keep a few
sheep, ,as they are good weed de-
stroyers, and in wool and mutton will
return a goal rroflt for feed con-
sumed. They are not injurious to cow
pastures, as many believe, especially
where but few are kept. The keeping
of cattle and sheep on the same pas-
tures at the same time is not recom-
mended; yet all over the eastern
sheep -raising districts the cow pas-
tures were usually the "run of a few
sheep of extra quality, those being
given a little extra care for show or
breeding purposes. The keeping of
a few sheep is the best way to solve
the question 'of profit, also of the
matter of whether you would like to
engage in sheep -raising as a business.

THE ESKIMO'S CRUISER
Whole Family and All Possessions
;tiled In Big Oomlak
es The oomiak may bed. as
the "family boat" of the Eskimo:-
Is
skimo:'-Is used by the men in whale and wal-
rus hunting and by the whole family
during their annual summer tripe„
which they make to gather the winter
store of fish and berries. Then it
presents a spectacle not soon for-
gotten. Crowded to the gunwales
with a mixed assortment of men, wo-
men, children and dogs together with
piles of provisions and hides and all
the impediments of camping, it moves
slowly along. A sail, of white and
colored drilling, sewin alternate
strips, or even of patched skins, as -
sista the laboring vessels through the
water. Some of the occupants paddle
when they .feel like it, others scan
the shore or watch the water rippling
from the stern. If progress is too
slow even for the Eskimo the dogs
are put ashore, a stout line of walrus
hide Is attached to the bow, and they
tow the boat along. Such parties are
away all summer, or, rather, during
the three months' interval which is
not winter -a brief, beautiful season
cf unending delight.
Fish Worth Catching
What was said to be the largest
sturgeon ever caught in the district
was taken in a pound net at Old Wo-
man Harbor, six miles front Little
Current, Ont., by John Lapointe. From
tip of tail to end of node it measured
7 feet 8 inches. Its circumference
behind the fins or flappers was 3 feet
8 inches; its weight 274 pounds. The
value of the fish, which was shipped
to the New York market was slightly
over $200, it containing 51 pounds of
caviare, worth $3.25 a pound.
Preserving Oysters
According to a French scientist
oysters can be kept for two weeks
in filtered water without injury or
loss of weight.
