A story comes to hand of a man who
Was attacked by a heu, was viciously
pecked, blood poisoning ensued and the
man died. We have beau wondering
how so many other henpecked men
have been running ,he gauntlet for
years and appear to be lasting out well.
Possibly the virus has lost its power on
the system, particularly if the attack is
continued along the old fashioned route
and the cuticle has thickened or though•
ened until perhaps it may be imp:tvivus
to the assaults. An example proving
this contention :—When a man (.o call-
ed) was interrogated as to why he allow•
ed his better half (?) to abuse him by
tongue and rolling pin, stated "It
pleases she and dont hurt I." After all
are we men worthy of the great pre-
ponderance of the home -makers who
rarely "trim" us and perhaps forgive
our failures and shortcomings 70 times

there's one "nagger," whose husband
should receive a bonus. there are g9

In
dt-
v'dusI plans forthe re -opening of school
for the Fall term. A good start is worth
mach. To get into the initial swing of
work is of no small value as compared to
being a "trailer" from the commence-
ment. The opening mouths of the term
are foundation builders and if faithfully
utilized may mean much in a piss if not
honors assured at the exams Go at
it with the determination to win and let
the passing months give evidence of
such progress as will make it next to im
possible to fail. A teacher, worthy of
their high calling, is ever ready to help
untie kno".ty problems but a student who
accomplishes the result by their own
resources is growing strong in resource-
fulness and in individuality that will
prove a fortress to theta in .many a
battle in life. "Dig in" is a short but
comprehensive motto.
Ir appears to THE Pos•r that month
after month is being allowed to slip past
by the Hydro Electric people iu the
matter of taking up the introduction of
Hydro to Brussels. We have been talk -
tug of it for a year or more but as far as
practical work nothing has been com-
pleted. Our neighboring towus and
villages, who do not require the light
or power any more than we, are receiv-
ing
eceivIng attention and are promised the in-
stallation in the course of a few months.
Our Council bas been receiving nom
munieations relative to something going
to be sent in the way of facts, 6guies
and general iuformatioc but here is tate
middle of August an d nothing to baud.
Whose to blame ? Why the delay ?
Our present lighting system is an ex'
pensive and unsatisfactory one in its
operation and was supposed to be only
tempofory expecting Hydro to replace
it. The long evenings are coming on,
cost of fuel is climbing up and Brussels
citizens have a good right to expect the
arrival of the modern and much talked
of utility. Wherever the blame rests let
us get down to business and push for
Hydro and do it now.
No decided action has been taken in
Brussels in reference to directing the
parking of ears. Objection is taken to a
line-up for a whole evening in front of
business places preventing convenience
and comfort of customers arriving or
departing. How would this plan work
out e --Let the vacant plot adjoining the
Town Hall he scanned by the Street
Committee of the Council and a plan
marked out for the most convenient
utilization of the ground for the purpose.
Constable could direct the chauffeurs
for the first weak, after date was decid-
ed upon, as to the line tip then folk
would be able to comply of their own
knowledge. Thomas and King streets
could be utilized, as come already do,
for the same purposeand by these
methods Tnrnberry street, in tine bust-
nese part could be kept from congestion

Production Costs
The production costs in Canadian
factories are generally reputedufed
to be
higher titan those in the United States
although there are notable exceptions.
In an Ontario factory making certain
small brass goods the cost is estimated
at from 30 to res onlence as to this
p
matter in November 1919, with over a
hundred United States firms. In many
cases a decision was made to erect such
works, and construction was commenc-
ed.
,..., e- a enter rise
The ,.h '.t of these s
P
varies from small assembling plants to
large factories employing several thous
ands hands. This action has been taken
for the following reasons among others:
(a) To handle the Canadian market
at close range..
(b) To grow as a 'Canadian industry
with the expanding market and in-
creasing purchasing power.
(c) To enjoy as a Canadian indus-
try the benefits of any special trade ar-
rangements made for the units of the
British Empire.
(d) To handle the export orders,
received by the parent company in
the United States for shipment to the
United Kingdom and other points in
the Empire,
In addition several United States
concerns with small works in Ontario,
have been seeking sites for the estab-
lishment of larger factories.
United Kingdom Factories In Ontario
The enquiries of United Kingdom
manufacturers as to the establishment
of branch works in Ontario were more
numerous in 1919 than ever before.
Works were established for the pro-
duction of elastic hosiery and abdomin
al belts, felts for paper -making mach-
ines and silk labels.
Alterations and additions were com-
menced on large branch works of a
Welsh tinplate mill, which acquired one
of the national manufacturing works at
Toronto of the Imperial Munitions
Board.
Represeentatives of many United
Kingdom manufacturers visited Ontar-
io to investigate conditions for local
factories. While several branch works
of United Kingdom firms may be erect
ed in 1920, the number of such plants
will probably never equal that of United
States firms with branches here.
Trade Within The Empire.
There is a strong desire in Ontario
and Canada generally to trade with the
United Kingdom and other parts of the
British Empire whenever Canadian in-
dustries cannot supply local wants.
This was given practical shape in the re
quests to this office of Canadian man-
ufactured articles. United Kingdom
firms have also made enquires here
with a view to transferring their buy -'1
ing from foreign countries to Canada,
An English firm which greeted branch
works in Ontario, instructed their con-
tractors to buy materials and equip-
ment as far as possible in Canada, and
in any event not outside the British
Empire. The enlargement of such a poi
icy throughout the Empire will undoabt
edly prove a vital factor in building up
inter -imperial trade.
As the work of the British Trade
Commissioners in Canada proceeds, it
is seen that the tendency to strengthen
the relations within the British Empire
is becoming more pronounced. iaquir-

ies were received from United Kingdom
firms for example with regard to the
possible purchase in Ontario, of inter
mediates for dye making ground mica
and sheet erica, In at least one of these
cases part of the business was diverted
from a foreign country to Canada, Cor-
respondence has been carried on with
United Kingdom firms desiring that the
products required by thein should be
made by Canadian firms and with 'Can
adian firms desiring that the goods pure
chased in the United Kingdom should
be made in United Kingdom works.
Canadian firms have also expressed a
wish to establish branch works 'in the
United Kingdom vhile British firms are
considering the establishment of branch
es in Ontario.'lnquiries have also been
received with regard to trade between
Canada and India, Australia, New Zea-
land, South Africa and the British West
Indies.
Assistance To Ontario Firms
The British Trade Commissioner at
Toronto has been of assistance to
Canadian sdien
importers and manufacturers
in various ways. Lists of United King
dos manufacturers importers and ex-
porters have been furnished locally, in
troductions to the Department in Lon-
don handed to business men proceeding
overseas inquires of Ontario concerns
for quotations Of United Kingdom trnls
forwarded and information as to the
establishment of Canadian branch
works in the United Kingdom. Ontario
firms have made use of the office as a
general source of information as to
British trade matters. A number of let-
ters received from His Majesty's con-
sular officers in various parts of the
world have been transmitted to local
firms making inquiries abroad. Acknow
ledging the receipt of such a letter a
Toronto firer wrote:—"The informat-
ion suppled is of considerable assist-
ance to us and it will avoid us incurring

Direct Trading
On account of war conditions more
direct trading has developed during the
past few years, Large Canadian imports
of tea for example have come to Vali-
couver from the tea plantations rather
than through London. Canadian buyers
have established direct relations with
aide and skin suppliers in Australia the
market previously being centred in Lon
don, While the United Kingdom, for
many reasons, will continue to be an
important centre for re-export trade,
the ,:Ranges which have occurred in the
position during the war will undoubted-
ly leave their mark.
Trade With India
An interesting desire was in evid-
ence on the part of local firms to es-
tablish trade relations with India. Not
a great deai appears to be known by
manufacturers and importers as to the
raw materials and other articles which
ere available in India for export, and
the information and reference books
sent to this office from time to time by
the . Commercial Intelligence Depart-
ment of the Government of India will
be of value in that connection. Inquir
ies were made locally during the year,
among other matters as to the importat
ion of castor oil from and the export
of dyes to India. As the. desire in Can-
ada is to endeavor to buy and sell more
goods in the British Empire, the trad-
ers of India should benefit materially
as commercial relations become strong
er.
Efforts are being made to bring be-
fore the public the fact that the Trade
Commissioner's offices are in a posit-
ion to put 'Canadian importers and man
ufacturers in touch with sources of sup
ply of Indian produce.
By Way Of United States
There is little doubt that consider-
able quantities of Indian produce enter
Canada by way of the United States.
The producers of India and Canadian
buyers should be able without great dif
ficulty to get into direct touch. Canad-
ian producers and manufacturers
should also be able to establish direct
business connections with buyers in In-
dia, One of the principal factors oppos-
ing a greater volume of trade between
the two countries is the lack of know
ledge on the part of business men in
each country of what the other has t
sell. This can be remedied to some es
tent by greater use of the offices of E
M. Trade Commissioners in India and
in Canada. One of the best methods of
establishing stronger trade relations is
by manufacturers and buyers of the two
countries exchanging visits,
