In going over • some of ' our ex-
changes last week, one of them had
as its leading editorial the question
of buying' at home rather than in an-
other town. It is a good argument,
one of the most sensible ones that
any community can pay attention to,
but it doesn't seem to work. .
We all know the argument about
the home -town business man helping,
you to pap your taxes and that you
should help him: because he helps
you. We believe every word of it,.
and, we believe, so does everybody
else. The trouble is it doesn't work
out in pr,aetice.
We don't think we'are wrong when,
we say there are many people in
every comnnunity who buy out of
town. We believe we are right when
we say the business men are as
guilty as anybody else, People buy
where they think they can buy the
cheapest, and with n o thought o f
taxes, the extra bridges, or the fact
that money spent out of town seldom
comes back. All of them, however,
think the populace should buy at
home, espeeally if they themselves
have something to sell.
The buy at home idea is the proper.
one, but we seldomsay anything
about it. A local merchant once com-
plained to us that a house-to-house
canvasser was selling the local buy-
ers an article which he sold just as
cheaply. He told us something should
be done about it. At the same time
we made him admit that a letter
head on his desk had 'been printed
by an out-of-town concern, a store -
to -store canvasser. His excuse was
that he didn't know we did that kind
of work. Our reply was that if he
would advertise some of his products
and the price, perhaps he wouldn't
have to worry about the out -side
canvasser.
There are many merchants who
never advertise, never tell anybody
what they have to sell, and who us-
ually have shelves full of old, out=
dated shelf -worn goods.
There are other merchants whe

NEWS SOURCES CONTROLLED
RUMOUR LEADS STAMPEDE
One of the most dangerous weap-
ons in the German strategy attack,
writes Britannicus, the well lmowo
British war and political commen-
tator, is rumour. Developments in
recent weeks moreover have greatly
enhanced the effectiveness of this
weapon in German hands. The
swarms of refugees which the Ger-
mans drive before them in their ad-
vance, interspersed with German
agents, provide an excellent medium
for carrying alarmist rumours. More
important still is the occupation by
Germany of groat sources of Euro-
pean news such as Amsterdam and
Copenhagen; the virtual cutting off
of others, such •as Stockholm; and
the control of wireless stations and
of the trans -continental cable and
telephone services which Germany's
agressions have brought her. This
has not only resulted in the drying
up of sources of reliable neutral and
in particular American news, but it
has enabled Germany to apply with
renewed vigour her well-known tech-
nique of spreading hes and rumours
under neutral guise. Thus the Oslo
radio quotes Belgrade when recount-
ing' fantastic tales that revolution is
breaking out in France; Budapest
quotes Copenhagen for a fairy story
that French are seeing for a separ-
ate peace; Rome quotes Stockholm
as authority for a fable that British
troops are abandoning France and se
forth. All these • allegedly neutral
reports in fact emanate from Ger-
mansources and are without excep-
tion false.

MONKTON FACTORY ON
WAY T,O COMPLETION
The machinery for Stacey Bros.'
plant in Monkton is arriving daily
and, a visit to the site reminds one
of visiting in Toronto where build-
ing goes on on a large scale as there
is a large number of workmen em-
ployed there at the present time and
the present plant is still in operation.
On Tuesday a large 125 horsepower
boiler arrived via C.P.R., weighing
twenty tons and a firm from Ham-
ilton has the contract for putting
the same in place. A smoke stack 85
feet in length has arrived and will
be put in place as soon as the boil-
er is set. Other machinery is ex-
pected daily. When completed it will
be rated as one ,of the most up -io-
date plants in Ontario. - Mitchell
Advocate.
In a New York City court a Mag-
istrate had just committed a taxi
driver to jail for 30 days for leaving
the scene of an accident -he had run
over and killed a pedestian. A woman
approached the magistrate and
pleaded for the prisoner, her husband
"Don't send hirer to jail," she said,
"My two children. and I are depend-
ent on his earnings:
As she finished another woman
stood up, this time in the spectators'
seats, and identified herself as the
widow of the man who was killed.
"She's only going to lose her husband
for 30 days," this woman observed
bitterly, "but I have lost ,mine for
the rest of my life." The sentence
stood at 30 days.
This was a dramatic demonstration
of something we are apt to forget -
that so much may be involved in a
moment of, thoughtlessness, or per-
sonal actsof lawlessness of any' kind
-all the train of consequences which
follow not only for the culprits
themselves, but for many innocent
people, who are in no way to blame
for acts which may distress and
handicap their whole lives.

HELIUM IN ALBERTA
Officials of the Alberta mines de
partment say efforts will be made to
analyze gas, reported as non -inflam-
mable, discovered at the bottom of a
well in the Steveville structure, 100
miles east of Calgary.
Officials of the company owning
the well, the Standard Oil of British
Columbia, said they believed the gas
is either nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
Other oilmen, however, speculated on
the possibility it may be helium.
There now is no helium gas well in
the British Empire.
Helium, non -inflammable and nen-
explosive,
onexplosive, is used in dirigibles. The
world's greatest supply has been
found in the Texas gas area of the
United States.
Company officials said the inflow
of the gas was about 1,000,000 cubic
feet a day, but the presence of hel-
ium has "by no means been proven."

Prices continue to rise sharply
in Italy. From one end of the
peninsula to the other corres-
pondents complain of the failure
of crops, in part because of
the intense cold of last winter; in
part because of drought. In the north
especially, many farmers state that
they will plant only enough grain for
next year's seed since grain is now
so dear. A correspondent declares
that fodder is scarce and cattle dis-
eased. "The crops are ruined", he
writes, "burned dry. We have not
been able to make bread for eight
days now as we couldn't find flour."
Among Italian peasants, bread is
an essential part of every meal.
Scarcity is reported to be greater
than in the war of 1914-18. Soap is
rationed at one cake a week. Cement
is so dear in some districts that
building is stopped.
In other districts, all building
materials have been requisitioned for
`fortifications.
