ITEMS OF 1NTERES'T
The Commission of Conserva-
tion has issued a warning in con-
nection with the lack of` coal. It
says, "Unless all signs fail the coal
shortage next winter will he more
acute than this winter and every
ef'f'ort should be exerted to pro-
vide a supply of dry hardwood.
Annually in Canada 30,000
children under 5 years of age die
from preventable causes:—three
tunes as many as the soldiers de-
stroyed in the same time in the
war.
The Goveriunent is to take
over the packing houses March 1.
This is probably one of the things
Frank. Carvell, Minister of Public
Works, had. in mind when he said
that the people should be prepared
for some radical measure every
two weeks. But just ,taw the
thing most people lihink about is
coal.

THE NEWSPAPERS' PART
(London Advertiser, Monday, Feb.11iht)
•
•
Saturday and today nearly all 1anadia acforie
s, wholesale es-
ttibiislitiients and stores hive suspended business operations in ander
to save fuel told to show the tlnited States that Canada is -willing to
share the inconvenience suffered in the republic. How has this gen-
eral closing been arranged
In
the first place, the fuel controller issued an order, tint not one •
businessman in London saw that document, if the matter hatdi luded
there not a factory or store would have been closed to day or on
Saturday, The next step was taken by that greatest of all publicity
agents, the i'ress, Without payment, newspapers from one end of
the country to the other announced that the outer had been issued,
and kept their readers informed of every amendment and- change
made. In this way tlle•closing order was made effective, and every-
one was able to -know what must be done or left undone to keep
within the law,
The same process occurs with every law that is passed. Seldom
docs the Gov°erfuuent: pay for advertisements of its bilis and acts 1
where the general public will see thele. It relies on free publicity,.
granted by Canada's newspapers, not only by supporters of the
Government but by those which favor the policy of the Opposition.
All the free adveldising .on behalf of the Government is• shared 1
in by papers of all political creeds, but what happens when there is
some paid advertising of mail contracts or similiar -Government
work? leo all papers share in this? No, it is kept exclusively for
those which espouse the Government's polities. This is unfair to the
papers, but it is more unfair to the people. 'Throughout the Dom-
inion, possibly one-third of the reading populace reads only ,a Con-
servative paper, otic -third only a Liberal paper and the retraining
third reads papers of both sides. Those who do not subscribe to one
which carries the Government advertising never have a chance to
tender on contracts, because they do not know when they are ad-
vertised or what is wanted. The result is to cut down competition.,
and the country, in some cases, pays more than the work -is worth.
Witit a union government there ought to be no discrimination
against papers. Patronage, we are told, has been abolished, or is to
he abolished. It will require no special legislation to eliminate this
particular species.

ABLE M. P. P. APPOINTED TO
WINGHAM VACANCY
RETIRES FROM HOUSE
New Official Taught School for
Thirty -Four Years.
Wingham, Feb. t o --A. 1-1. Mus-
grove, M.P.P. for North Huron,
has been appointed postmaster for
this town. He announced his ac-
ceptance late yesterday afternoon
and will tender his resignation to
the House now in session at Tor-
onto in the course of a few days.
Wingham has been without a
postmaster for the past 9 months
following the death of C. N. Grif-
fin. It was only after a great deal
of persuasion that Mr. Musgrove
consented to take the :position
and give up an active life. in Par-
liamentary circles.
He was elected to the Legislat-
ure in 1908,was . re-elected in
1991 and again in 1914. During
the time he has been a member of
the House he has taken a promin-
ent part in all questions and was
one of the first men to come out
in favor of Union Government, to
which he gave valuable assistance:
As a debater his dbility has long
been rectlyrnized and he has been
held in great esteem by both sides
of the House, Since the outbreak
of the war he has given a great
deal of time to recruiting and pa-
triotic work, assisting by all
means possible those who have
been affected bythe war.
Previous to his election to the
1.,egislatute be taught school for
34 years, Por IR years `late was
principal al f the school here. Mur
p o
mg the remaining 16 years he
taught in different .centres of tete
;country, 1 -le was born at i'lcker�'•
•
ing, Ont., 60 years ago. When he
reached the age of four his father
John Musgrove, moved to a farm
in 'Turnberry. He began his 34
years of teaching at the age of 18.
Mr. Musgrove is the fourth post-
master of Wingham. C. N. Grif-
fin, his predecessor, held office for
only two years. Previous to the
appointment of Mr. Griffin, Peter
Fisher was postmaster for 50
years and before that C:. Foley was
in charge,

Advertising is an invest-
ment—not an expense—
and should be treated as
such, Because it has been
the. habit of some mer-
chants to look upon it as
expense, a wrong view has
been gained. Perhaps the
misconception arose from
the fact that in book-keep-
ing it has been the habit to
charge advertising to ex-
pense. Advertising pro-
duces new business — it
swells the yolulne of bus-
iness and profit–therefore
it is an investment. Only
the'man who looks upon
advertising ,as an expense,
who is afraid of it, .preju-
- diced against it, • loses
money in a.dver tiring. The
man who treats advertis-
ing ES an itivestnlent and
gives it the attention an
investment requires —
