S. McKinnon, Leading Figure in Industrial Life, Declares That Business is Being Lost to Domin- ion Because of Canada's Attitude Toward Conferring of 'Titles— Canada Stands High in British Opinion (Saturday's Toronto Globe) ; Basing his opinion upon observe - tions made during the past two years • while acting as Direitor of Exhibits for Canada at the British Empire o Exhibition, J. S. 'McKinnon, former President of the Canadian Manufac- turers' Association and a leading - figure in the industrial life of Can.:. :Ida, declared last night that Canada was seriously handicapped in Great Britain through the lack of titled Canadians in the British Isles. Mr. McKinnon returned to Toren - to yesterday. During an interview at his home he dealt with the matter of Canadian titles and what they meant in financial and industrial cir- cles in Great Britain. He said he realized he was touching upon a sub- ject or a controversial character but hi? believed it was one which should be of interest to Canarians. British Puhlia Mystified. "Canada is under a handicap in Great Britain through a lack of titl- ed Canadians," he said. "This may seem strange, but it is nevertheless a fact. The British public is unable to understand why the - Sovereign cannot confer a title upon a Can- adian, and feels that consciously or unionssiously Canada's attitude to- ward titles is dictated by its proxim- ity to the United States, The British public is at a loss to understand why Canada, steeped in British tradition, the keystone of the Empire and a most progressive country, rejects titles. "To the Canadian this may not be a matter of concern," he continued. "Many functions in the British Isles are attended- by many people with titles, and while they may be social or semi -social affairs, business is transacted at them. If it So happene that Robert Macdonald of Canada, and •Sir Robert Macdonald of Aus- tralia, aro these it is the titled visi-; tos from Australia who receives the place of honor."

British opinion thad at any time in its history. Mr, McKinnon said it was the popular thing in the British Isles to talk of Empire ,goods, ti Purchase them, and to use therm The groundwork bad been laid, and the channels of commerce opened, he stated, and it now remained for busi- ness men to take the opportunitice provided them. As a word of advice to thos doing business with the Bri- tish people he advised them to grade and brand their goods and to have a continuous supply. Mr. McKinnon believed that Can- adian industry should . establish a permanent exhibition of .Cimadian products in London. He declared that the benefits coming from it would be well worth the effort J. S. McKinnon, Director of Can- adian Exhibits at Wembley, who claims Dominion is handicapped in Britain on account of lack of titled citizens. Mr. McKinnon is an old Blyth boy. Wembley Exhibition to Canada, Mr.' McKinnon stated that Canada had reaped remarkable advantage..from its exhibits. One hundred and thir- ty five cases of British Columbia salmon which glutted the market in Canada in 1923, were sold through the medium of the exhibition, the pack of 1924 and 1925 was disPosed of and the British Columbia canners would have difficulty in meeting the demand for 1926, he stated. "Douglas fir will be used by the British navy for the decks of de vessels. Rubber shoes which once came from the United States will he purchased by Britain from Canada. In fact one Canadian firm has estab- lished a business in London," loc, said. "There has been created a fine field for Canadian furniture, Cana& hill .cereals, bacon, butter and cheese and canned goods. Since the exhi- bition was opened over 100 Caned - Ian firms are represented, or have their representatives in Great Bri- tain." Canada Well Thought Of. • .

The First Division Court at Os - geode Hall has handed down a de- cision which will have considerable effect on the advertising and sale of inerchandise throughout Ontario. The case which came up for their Lordships' consideration WEIS Rol.g, A'S. Roderick. It was brought out that certain merchants of Picton had formeda club, giving each dollar eustomer a membership ticket, Lat- er a raffle was held, the ticket -hold- ers drawing for a small sedan and other lesser prizes. The manager of the scheme was convicted under 'the Lottery Law, and the First Division- al Court dismissed his appeal. A eimilar appeal from Chatham came under the same rating. As this method of advertising goods has been quite popular with merchants in Ontario, the ruling will have a wide application. It now appears that where a number of persons own an article in common they may raf- fle it among themselves, but it is il- legal to sell tickets to any outside party. Huron Blood Will Tell. . - In connection with the appoint- ment of Mr. Dunning., as Minister of Railways in the King Cabinet, and •the naming of his successor. as Pre- mier of Saskatchewan, the County of Huron stands a chance of being highly honored. Naming those who are in the running, a newspaper says: "Hon. S. J. Latta, Minister of Education, is senior in point of pub- lic service, having been selected to the provincial house in 1908. He had taught school in Ontario for twenty-three years, and was princi- pal of a London school in 190a, when he first went West. Hon, C. 141. Hamilton is seconcl. choice, though he did not enter the House until 1919. He is at present Millie - ter of Agriculture and a close per- sonal friend of Dunning's. He was born at Whitechurch, Ontario. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, who is also spoken of to succeed Dunning, is a native of Farquhar, Ontario, and succedded Mr. Latta as Minister of 1-Hghwayee" Mr. Latta was born near IJills Green, Farquhar, Mr. Gardiner wae born near Exeter, while White- church, where Mr. 'Hamilton was born, ie on the boundary of Huron and Bruce.

Inspector Hill of the Amusement To Department, hes announced that ie future all churches that inteed holding an entertainment must make an applieation to the Dept. at Tor- onto ten days prior to the date of Ilia intended entertainment. He gives as the reason that many cher- alias have been evading the law by paying artists and other talent who have helped on the program. This is a contravention of the law. News That's Not News. There is quite a deal of difference between news and advertising, but a newspaper has a hard time often in making some readers realize the difference. If a person has something Lo sell and wants the public to know about it, that is advertising. It is purely a business . transaction with the one object of making money. An ice cream supper notice is not news —It is advertising. Becauee the money goes for a worthy cause clues not make it any the less an adver- tisement. • -- McKillop Insurance Company. The annual meeting of the Mc- Killop Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pank was held in the Town Hall, Seaforth, on Friday, February 12111, with the President, James Connolly, of Goderich, in the chair, and With a fair representation of the policy- holders present.

The retiring directors, Messrs. James Connolly, Willitun Rion and Robert Faris, were all re- elected. Advertiser's Must Be Fair At All Times. The Stratford Beacon -Herald re- ports the address given at the Rot- ary Club Luncheon by a former Brusselite:—Rotarian D. M. Fergu- son was the speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Stratford Rotary Club today, the meeting -being in charge of Harry Griffith, and the ;im- mediate topic under consideration was "Truth in Advertising," A man who is not truthful in the advertis- ing lie does is not far removed from being insane," stated Mr. Airguson. "The nearest way to secure truth in advertising material is to always keep in your mind a picture of your best friend, and to remember that your advertising message is really an invitation to that best Mend to come to your place of business.

Every live stock owner, breeder, dealer or exporter is warned by the Dominion Department of Agriculture that on the appearance of contagious disease among his animals he is com- pelled by law to give immediate not- ice to the department and nearest veterinary inspector. A pamphlet has been prepared by the Depart- ment of Agriculture covering the at, in connection with this matter. Laws of this kind, according to Ot- tawa officials, are absolutely neces- stues in order to maintain the eepu- tation that Canada has gained as the healthiest of live stock countries. The Voth on Church Union. Statistical officers of the United Church of Canada have completed their compilations and analysis of the voting by the members of the former Presbyterian church on the question of uniting with the Meth- odist and Congregational churches. An official statement issued on the basis of these compilations, which include the most accurate returns available, according to the state- ment, indicates the percentage of the former, Presbyterian churrh membership which voted out of un- ion was 30.2, or a little less than one-third. The total number of congregations now in the United Church is 8,699, of which 3,728 were former Presbyterian self -s- taining or aid -receiving charges. The total number of Presbyterian con- gregations which voted out of union including eight which voted to re- main independent, was 784. Death .of Mrs. Robert Willis. The Huron Expositor last week had the following obituary of the mother of H. W. Willie, of Wing - ham, and a former resident of Brus- sels:—The passing from earth of Mrs. Robert Willis, at her home on Goderich Street early on Tuesday morning, February 23rd, did not come as a great surprise to her many friends, for it wos known that she 110(1 suffered a breakdown in health severe years ago, which placed her in the invalid class. The infirmity of these six closing, years was in marked contrast with the precedieg 75 years of her life, which were years of rare, 01 -round fitness and abounding activity. In the home and in her own family circle,, found a sphere of wifely and moth- erly affection, where. he qualities or Chrietian faith and devotion to duty were in willing and constant expres- sion. The energy, sympathy and public spirit with which Mrs. Willis was gifted, were bound to and did widen the circle of her inteeests, In the Seaforth Methodist church, of which she was a member, for over fifty years she was president of the Ladies' Aid for an extended period, and she filled for years the presid- ency of the W.

Joynt Joins Denial of Liquor Support Seeks Apology From Raney, But Re- ceives Little Satisfaction — Is Highly Indignant (Wednesday's Globe) John Joynt, Conservative member for North Huron, who was absent from Legislature on Monday when Government members toole Hon. W. E. Raney to task for "discourtesy" and "near libel" in asking the Gov- ernment if the campaign funds of certain candidates (Mr. Joynt in- cluded) had not been met in the last election leybbrewing and distilling in- terests, took up cudgels in his own behalf yesterday. Got No Outside Help. Mentioning that be had. seen Mr. Raney's questions in The Toronto Star of Feb. 26, Mr. Joynt, visibly perturbed, said: "I was amazed at the audacity of the honorable mem- ber for East Wellington. I. did not, and eould not, conceive what he hnd in his mind. But, in order not to detain the House, I shall bring this matter to a point. I ran in two olec- tione in North Huron ----in 1919 and 1923—and 1 paid my own expenses. I never received one farthing in moneys toward my expenses. "Let me say," Mr. Joynt went on, "that I know less about this alleged support than the honorable member from East Wellington. (Conserva- tive applause.) And I say right here, Mr, Speaker, that I Remand an apology from the honorable mem- ber. In fairness to me, and to this House, I demand it. There is noth- ing to the allegations you hare made—turning to Mr. Raney— "and I know nothing about it. And I say this, to. this House, in the same way as I'd say it on my oath, be- lieving it to have the eame effect." Raney's Reply. Hon, Mr. Raney -1 suppose I might say this much for the honor- able member for North Huron, whorn I have known for a number of years, and whom I highly respect: I accept his statement without resereete tion. Might I also add that, volun- tarily or involuntarily, I assume that: he received the same benefit as did all Conservative candidates through r: ' '''' matter supplied by the cen- tral Conservative fend. But Mr. Joynt was not to Inc plac- ated so easily. "I've put this thing in a clear light," Ito argued.
