THAT'S THE QUESTIONN It is announced that the Hon: W. D. Euler is desirious of stopping short circuiting along the Niagara and Windsor frontiers, without in- terfering with the `legitimate liquor export trade.' What can, be `legiti- mate' about a trade carried on in de- fiance of the laws of the neighboring country to which the exporting" is done? Besides by giving' its official sanction to snuggling operations, the Canadian Governmen is sowing the seeds of disrespect for law that will be sure to bring a sinister harvest in the future.—Orillie Packet -Times, The happy merchamrt Never- before in the 'history of the world has it been pos- sible for a merchant in good credit to do so much business with so . Iittle capital locked , up in stock. One important reason for the present prosperity is, that in- stead of having to buy a big stock at the beginning of each season, he is now able to buy small stocks and re plenisli them promptly by Long Distance. Keep your customers for miles --around coming to you for whatever they need. In- vent ways of inducing them tovisit your store, or to or- der from you by Long Dia- tance and -- they tell ' us —you will not be seriously bothered "by competition. Long Distance is making. happy merchants in some towns. Don't overlook its great possibilities. iriminsinimmaimunt?

Who Would have thought that Can- ada would ever be considered as a cotton growing country. Of course it was at one time just as unlikely that silk would be made from Canadian products, but now silk made from wood has become quite an industry A. eable from London, England, an- nounces that a discovery has been made which will enable Canada to he-, come a formidable rival of the States in the cotton markets, and predicts that ultimately Canada will dominate this continent in the' cotton trade. So much is taking place in these days that not so long ago would have been. considered absolutely impossible, that the announcement will probably not creat© any excitement, but if what is claimed is true, Cauada will have an immense new industry. One of the Directors, Ierr.' D. A. Walters, said on Tuesday:— "We are already negotiating with Canadians. This discovery will en- able Canada to beat the United States right out of the cotton trade. The Americans are showing a very in- triguing interest in our discovery. Germany is ,doing the seine but there is nothing doing. We are doing busi- ness only with Britain and the domin- ions." "But won't anybody be able to steal the seeds- and grow the plant themselves?" asked the press corres- pondent. "We are giving the seeds away ;,They don't need to steal thein, but they won't know how to treat heCatt.' m."on growing was introduced in- to' Egypt and has gadded a great deal to thesprosthose:perityon ai'e .. thlaendpe,ople, es-, pecially 'id1,1' this new process is what is claimed it will be as valuable a • crop_ whenever the seeds are grown as is the, tobacco crop, which at one time was thought to be a product of thesouth only, Mr. Walters gave the following addition- al information:—.- "The nformation:-"The Canadian mills would be able to grow the plant at their own doors. Proem the tune, of reaping to the Lime of handling to ,the mill, prepared tor inr sp rin g, would be only 24.. hours, This would allow for the process` of stripping the fibre and preparing it and delivering it to the mills. Cotton -growing requires cheap la- bour but this plant requires no cheap labour. 85 can he profitably sold at sixpence per pound, while American cotton costs, 'tenpence ` halfpenny in England' and Egyptian' cotton is still dearer_ Letters from the famous spinning and bleaching firms which had tested the fibres showed that they had found them better than cotton, n king more durable cloth and with a better sheen. The 'letters stated that if the, price' was right-and,the supplies were re- gular there was no doubt of the tex- tiloainduetry taking the new fibre be- cause it required no change in the existing machinery. A piece of cloth woven from the new fibre and exam- ined through a magnifying glass showed when placed reside the ordin- arypocket handkerchief that the new fibre looked lustrous like sills. The new fibre could be mixed with cotton, • silk, artificial silk or wool. The price of sixpence 'per pound for the new fibre is very remunerative and supplies of between three and four million pounds will be available next summer. The treatment of the plant is very inexpensive. In a spin- ning mill posting five million dollars the treatment plant would costonly five thousand dollars.-Orillia Pack- et -Times, ^II.ENSALL: There was a large at- tendance of the Masons of Zurich Lodge, No. 224 at Hensall on Mon- day evening; week, on which occasion the District Deputy Grand Master of South Huron, E. WI. White of St, Marys, paid the lodge its first Ofic- ial Visit, and witnessed the putting on of the first degree in Ntasonry by Worshipful Master (Dr.) A. 3. Mc - Kinnon of 'Zurich and his' officers, which elicited much praise from the D.D.G.M. At the conclusion of the evening's work, the lodge was closes and all repaired to the basement 'el Carmol Presbyterian ;ehurch, where a splendid fowl supper had been prd- pared by the ladies : of that church. After the Worshipful Master had ex- pressed, on behalf of himself and the brethren, the great appreciation felt for the splendid feast of good things, all returned to ' the lodge o'ootn, where find addresses were given by a number of the brethren, with the Worshipful, Master occupying the chair. A pleasant; couple of hours were spent in a social manner, all departhig, after the „singing of Auld LangSyne, Sy , to their respective homes ,feeling that they indeed had hada a most pleasant and .profitable eve- ning. A number of visiting breth-i ren from St, Marys and Exeter were present. TALKING BUSINESS One doesn't hear as much "about J. J. Morrison, secretary of the U.10.0. as<when that organization was mere active in politics than it -is now. However, Mt. Morrison is directing one of the biggest business institutions in this country, Any company that does twenty-five mil- lion dollars worth of business in a year is a big institution and that is what the U.li.O. is doing. Medford district farmers heard Mr. Morri- son Friday night. He is still preach- ing the docteine of the 'farmers] stieking together. He has dropped! the "class eonacious appeal," but that was the appeal in the political days, and Mfr. Morrison now is not talking politics. He is talking busi-i ness and he hasn't forgotten how, either.—'Meaferd Mirror, KEEPING AT IT'S THE "THING One who is an expert in advertisin me us nes ma e a per nen remark when he said, "If' merchant: could only learn to advertise steadily even though they have to cut dow ''the size of their space for some tim and if they would constantly kee 1- community, name before the people of thei 1 community, they would give the ma , order houses real competition."
