The boys around here seem to prefer an automobile on a smart ••driver and rubber -tired buggy, A .tlieyele is au unsociable sort of a vehtole, anyway. • » We would respel►tfuily suggest that ,farmers throughout the country keep; their names plainly painted ou thein .rural mail boxes so that, they may oeasily be read by passers-by, `l'hId would be necessary in ease of the .appointment of new couriers at any time, but now that summer is here --and people are doing more driving than ,usual it is interesting for them to know just where, everybody lives. • • . i, The Steel Plant which was to have _located at Goderich will probably, :now, locate elsewhere. The reason .given is that landowners ran up the prices of their holdings to such a figure that it was found impossible 'to purchase. Keen disappointment isd ..Sett oder aover failure of in G lh the f e the project. The sale of The Star to kr. McCreath, who was the chief promoter of the scheme, is also orf and the paper is being continued un- der its old management A Frank McCullough put the blame of his downfall on the reading • of dime novels. A few weeks ago Sir John Willison, one of Canada's leading • citizens, told a Clinton audience of having walked fourteen miles into Clinton as a boy in order to spend a -dollar which, he had "acquired" and spending the whole on,dime novels. There may have been other eontri ' s:buting causes to McCullough's down- fall and Sir John Willison's. uplift, o of course, or the uoveis ntay, have been of a different character. s . • "Public control of utilities is a Cue thing in theory. In practise it .is a costly lad."--Orillio Packet. Doesn't it seem rather strange that a company or corporation can •carry on a business in such a way as to pile up a great fortune and as . soon as the municipality or govern- ment takes hold of it it begins to .run at a Loss ? There does not seem to be any good reason why, if a business is being conducted at a profit by private individuals„ the same business should not be con- ducted on a paying basisby the Gov- .ernment. The probability is that "Daylight: Saving" will not trouble use any more on this continent. The: bill was voted down in both • Congress and House of Representatives in the iJnited States last week and as the railways of Canada only adopted it because of its being in force there we shall probably hear nothing about it next season. We can console our- selves,*however, with the • reflection that the sun ivill rise and set the same time either with Or without. To hear some people talk one would suppose that a brand new hour of sunlight was actually added to the • flay by the pushing ou of the clocks, Anyone who wants to do so may get up an hour earlier in the minutia ; :they will find the sun on the job in fairly good time these June morn- 3ngs, * * "Our mill was not built for the glory of God or of anybody else, it was built for the benefit of the shareholders," was one ofthe re- marks made by W. E. Paton, head sof the, Paton Mfg. Co., of Sherhrook, Que., before the Cost of Living Com- mittee at Ottawa the other day when it was brought out that the Com- paity had made a profit during 1018 -19 of over seventy-two percent. It is this spirit of selfishness, of utter carelessness for the .rights of others, that ails the world today. There is one cure for the ills of the world•and "that is the application of the Golden Rule in every relation of life. In the 'meantime, if there is no way of pre- venting`a man or a company reap- ing such a profit a way should be de vised of preventing them using it en - tritely for their own personal aggr:an- dizement. * * 'The Goderich Signal put up such :a wail about the heat a couple of \weeks ago that we suggested that 'he adopt blouses and white ducks as this summer garb. We feared that, us a citizen of a town with aspera, tions, he might not consider this quite proper but evidently that is not his trouble tor last week he plaintively asices : "Where's a man to put his pencils if he is rigged out an a blouse ?" :Now, when we made that innocent Til:st suggestion we did not suppose ,bye. were getting ourselves in for the designing of Bro. Robertson's whole summer outfit, hut we are nothing it not obliging, so would suggest that de instruct the builder of his "blous- ros" to put a stout pocket on the Tight front of the garment,' on the lodge of which he can carry his foun- tain pen and in which he may depos- it as many pencils as he wishes. !Any other distraught editor •may( eopy.

It is patriotic to buy War Savings Stamps because Canada must have money for reconstruction. But it is also profitable to buy War Savings Stamps because you are in- vesting in Government Bonds yielding over 41/2%. You don't need to be a capitalist. You- can oucan start with 25 cents. Buy a Thrift Stamp for a quarter. When you have sixteen of them, exchange them for a War Savings Stamp, and you will have laid the foundation of a solid invest- ment with your odd savings. You can add to this investment as often as you save $4.00, and in 1924 the Government will pay $5.00 for every War Savings Stamp you buy now for $4.00 odd.
