Actively engaged in the black-
smithing, although 79 years old, is
the record of F. B. 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 -

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

has many flower stands, and these he

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-

noes mid daring ie euch that it com-
mands admiration, hawever much one
may condemn the deed,
Of the ninny confidenco tricks
wleich are familiar to travellers in
the East, the two following incidents,
for which I_aui indebted to a friend
of mine, appear to me to be typical
of the ease aud daring with which
these artful dodgers ply their craft
In the streets of India's busiest cities.
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.

Canada Exports $24,2134,685; Im-
ports $0,772,500.
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

The purchasing public is daily baCOnling
greater readers of advertisernelts. 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.
Those who do not read advertisements are
losers. Make it .a part of your reading to go
over the advertisements of the merchants. By
so doing you will know where to/find the best
bargains. Also you will learn whether the goods
are as represented.
