It was generally believed that Moore had been a dummy for Hearst in the, purchase of the Butterick magazines but it develops that Hearst had no hand or interest therein. Swope's new move is surprising in view of. his recent triumph in the Pulitzer organization over Arthur larock, 'who left the service of Will Hut to become "Assistant to the President" of the Pulitzer papers. This was a slap at Swope and divide ed the authority.

Scott, of Blue - vale, and he can shoe a horse or re- melt a buggy with all the vigor of a man many years younger. afr. Scott started to learn the blacksmith- ing business when 18 Years of age at .Harperhay, near Seaforth, with the late John Murray. After three years he went to the village of Ed- mongville, named f or Van Egmond, one of the earliest settlers in that part of the country. Lgter he turn - 3d his face toward Seaforth, moving from there to Blair and then to Blue - vale, 1870, where he has conducted Et blacksmithing business ever since. In 1875 he buiat the shop in which he has carried on his business over since, with the exception of one year which he spent at Schreiber, Ont., where he worked with the C.P.R. ac a drill maker. Here he ghthered much experience in iron working, there being no less than five black - entitle; within a distance of aeven miles, so great was the demand for their labor. Mr. Scott is a great lov- er of flowers and shrubs, and spends every moment of spare time in the summer in work on his garden. He ras malty flower stands, and these he has many flower stands, and these he from old discarded buggy tires. Since the advent of the automobile, Mr. Scott has had a good deal of steel work to ,clo in this connection. .He is strongly mechanically inclined, and despite his years is greatly in- terested in modern modes of trans- portation. Outside his shop stands a snowmobile, much of which he con- structed himself, and which is a splendid piece of workmanship. Mr. Scott is still hale and hearty, al- though &Mee to the fourecore and hilts fair to carry on his busi- ness for a good many years yet.

The 'incidents which I am about to recount took place in two of In- dia's premier cities which pride themselves on their :progressive municipal activities and vigilant police. Out of the swirling tide of vehicu- lar and pedestrian traffic which is characteristic of Indian streets, a fairly respectable -looking man dis- mounted from his cycle and wheel- ing it to a hulvie's (confectioner's) shop which bordered on the street, asked whether he could make him five hundred ludoos (balls of sweets) and if so, what it would cost. On being told tbat it would cost about ten rupees, he paid the money and asked the shopkeeper to proceed lin- mediately to make them as he was in a hurry to catch his train. Then walking across the street to a silversmith, he bought a few rings to the value of Rs. 250. Ile tan through his pockets in a vain search for money and then discovering, with feint surprise that he had none, he asked the silversmith to aecompauY him to the hulvie's shop as he had given him a currency note for Re. 600 to change for him. The silver- smith accompanied him, congratulat- Jug himself on his good fortune at having sold his rings at fancy prices. On approaching the shop our chev- alier dendustrie asked the shop- keeper in vernacular whether he had got "it," and on being told "ao" by the engrossed shopkeeper, who was busy making the sweets, he sauvely said, "Oh, all right, give this man 260 as soon as you've got it ready and keep the balance for me." Then mounting his cycle he soon disappeared in the surging tide of traffic. The silversmith, having wait- ed some time asked the shorneeper when he could have the money. "Money'?" asked the shopkeeper in astonishment. ''What money do you want?" "Why, Rs. 250. Didn't your elm - tomer tell you just to give me 250," replied the silversmith, expressing undisguised surprise at the obtuse- ness of the shopkeeper. "But he only ordered 500 ludoos and asked nie to .give you 250," re- plied the shopkeeper. "The scoundrel," broke eut the un- fortunate silversmith in a volley of abuse, as he ran to the nearest police station to report the inatter. In another caee, still greater in- genuity was displayed by our JerentY Diddler. A palaiskin was hired for a Begum and a -as taken to the door or a palatial house. The bearers were then told to turn their backs so as to enable the Begum to enter the palankin unperceived, While tbe bearers' backs were turned a heavy stone was rolled into the palankin and curtains let down, Then the bearers were told to take the palankin to the city, as the Be- gum Sahib wanted to make'some pur- chases. After wandering about from shop to shop aimlessly but ostensibly In search of a particular article which was not available in the shops, the trickster, accompanied by the palm - kin, came to a. jeweller's shop He informed the shopkeeper in lavisb undertones that the Begum Sahib, who possessed riches untold, was desirous of purchasing some very expensive rings and asked the shop- keeper to produce the most valuable rings he had In hIS shop for the Be - gum's choice. Then, taking the rings from the jeweller in his hand, lee parted the curtains of the palankin slightly and passed the rings inside, ostensibly to the Begum. After some whispered conversation with the Begum Sahib, he asked for urther varieties of rings which, like he previous instalment, disappeared ehind the curtains. Then,after some further conver- sation with the imaginary Begum Sahib, he asked whether there was only water available near by, as the Beg= was feeling thirsty. On being old that there was a tap round the orner, he put bie hand ineide the urtains and brought out an earth - 13 ware goblet in which reposed the Inas of the luckless jeweller and isappeared round the corner, never to reanimate Having waited in Vain for the re- turn of the trickster, the jeweller persuaded some of the women pass- ers-by to speak to the Begurn. No espouse being forthcoming to their nquiries, they opened the curtains autiously—to discover a huge stone epoeing in the palankin in place of he supposed Begum Sahib.

In the expansion of Canadian for- eign trade nothing has, been more striking than the development of commerce between the Dominion and Germany. In 1910, when this trade was regarded as well established, Canada exported to Germs.hy goods amounting to $2,066,768 and import- ed from Germany goods valued at $7,935,230. The war put an end to this busi- ness, but commercial relations were resumed immediately after peace came, and in 1920 Canadian exports to Germany reached $8,215,837, with imports amounting to 61,547,685. Since then there has been steady and rapid growth until in the last fiscal year Canada sold to Germany to the extent *of $24,234,685, and bouglat from tbat country to the amount of $6,772,590, Not only has the volume of trade grown enormously, but the favorable balancb has shifted from Germany's column in the ledger to Canada's column. Canada's exports consisted of agri- cultural and vegetable products val- ued at $18,000,000, animal products valued at $2,500,000, while nonfer- rous metals and non-metallic min- erals formed, a considerable item. Germany sent to the Dominion among other products Mires, textiles and chemicals. In cereals Germany takes constantly increasing quantities of wheat and fiour.—Now York Sun. tonna.

It is thought that theso imported Spanish Sheep were descendants of English sheep taken to Spain as part of the dowry of Katherine, daughter of John of Gaunt, who married a mem- ber of the Spanish royal family in 1390.

The reason for this is that they profit by so doing. They find the goods they want described in the right manner. It is news to the purchaser. That being the case, it behooves the wide- awake and straight -dealing merchant to study his advertising matter carefully; so that when the customer comes in to buy, he or she will find that the goods are as represented.
