SCRAP AND BUILD That is the motto of the British navy, 'scrap and build. And it can- not do otherwise. For the navy to face the world with equipment . that will not .prove equal to any emergen- cy that -may. confront it is for it to invite defeat. As soon as any portion of the navy is below par, the only thing to do is to scrap it. In it's in- effectiveness it is but a war -inviting costly luxury to say the least. Hence the way of the unsentimental British- er is to send obsolete equipment to discard. Well, why shouldn't he? The outs fit has served its day, it cannot b'e deepnded upon to meet the new emer- gencies that are sure to present them- selves. But the Britisher does not stop at that point. He proceeds to build in view of the needs of the hour and, as far as can be anticipated, of the fu- ture. All of which reminds us of the Imran Duke. London was threatened by a mob and Wellington was asked to fortify the capital. During the sus - pence eager, nervous, fearful folk sent messengers with; haste and ter- ror looking through their eyes inquir- ing if the conqueror of Napoleon had attended to such and such a critical matter. Calmly'. came the reply "Done an hour ago!" And so the cris- is past without the loss of a single British life.' Britain had scrapped and built, as she has been doing the past five years. , —Exeter Times -Advocate. ers of Georgian Bay or by the balmy breezes of Lake Huron: Count your blessings. --,W iarton Echo. ek ok.1k THE DROUGHT It is difficult for us to visualize conditions in many of the Western States of the Union. Western On- tario is fortunate, as usual, in her freedom from drought, tornadoes, grass hoppers or any of the plagues which assail most other parts of the world. If reports from west of the Missis- sippi are correct, and we have no rea- son to doubt them, conditions exist more terrible than any which have been experienced in that fruitful land since it was first settled. Live stock is being slaughtered or sold at a loss to avoid its dying of thirst and hun- ger; farms are literally blowing away as lack of rain drys out the earth and high winds lick up the resulting dust in clouds; men see the work of a life- time ruined as their houses disappear beneath earth which banks up as snow banks in Ontario in the winter- time. Many authorities believe that much of the land is permanently ruined, gone out of production. This is not in normally dry country but in parts which have never experienced lack of water since the white men came. Some day we may begin to realise that nature and man are much more joying the finest positions in the lead- intimately .linked together than we ing Canadian and American cities in have ever suspected. Depressions, which we are prone to call "man- made" may be a part of a cycle of nature, governed by powers of which we now know nothing. fact a large number of them ,are en- gaged as teachers in other Business Colleges. As Clinton has proved to be such an excellent centre, Mr. Spot - ton has determined to pay especial attending to this school and as the citi zens of Huron County are ever loyal to their own county, he confidentially anticipates the full patronage of all who call Huron their home. ..Thanksgiving Day, Oct. 8th An order in council has been passed set- ting the date for Thanksgiving Day for this year, as Monday, October Sth.

FIVE COUNTIES COMBINED IN ONE DISTRICT 'Perth, Huron, Oxford, Elgin and Middlesex Become District No. 2 MAGISTRATE J. A. MAKINS WIL;, HANDLE ALL CASES IN PERTH AND HURON Under the reorganization of the magisterial system in Ontario, an- nounced by Attorney -General A. W. Roebuck; Magistrate J. A. Makins of Stratford will have charge of the northern area in what will be known as district No. 2, Including Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford, Perth and Huron Counties. By the new arrangements the fol- lowing magistrates in these two counties will be dismissed: J. C. Craig, Seaforth, W. R. Butcher, St. Marys, T. L. Hamilton, Listowel, C. Trim, Milverton, and C. A. Reid, Goderich. Magistrate Makins received word this morning that commencing imme- diately he is to preside at police court in Goderich in place of Magistrate Reid. At best it is evident that we are, in great measure, playthings of fate. The best brains, the greatest power which a great intelligent people can exert, can do nothing against the force which is destroying whole, sec- tions of what was believed to be the finest agricultural part ofthe earth. Wein Wiestern Ontario can at least be thankful that we live in a land free front this worst of calamities. -The Goderich Star. TAKE IT OUT IN TALKING About the freedom of speech Hon. G.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS We read of people sizzling with heat these days. WO should be thank- ful that we live where the breezes of lake and bay keep us from extreme temperatures. We know nothing of prostration from heat but even, at that we grumble if it is a little too warm or too cold. One of our great- est blessings is our summer climate. We get it free because we live here, our summer tourists travel miles and spend their good money . for a few weeks or months by the cooling wat- Five Court Centres "I understand that I will preside at courts in Stratford, Listowel and St. Marys in Perth County and prob- ably in Goderich and Wingham in Hu- ron Counties," said Magistrate J. A. Makins in speaking to The Beacon - Herald this afternoon. He was hope- ful that the reorganization would be a good thing and pointed out that un- der the new system a magistrate will not have to listen to complaints be Middlesex and Oxford, exclusive of London, Magistrate Makins said he did not care to make any comment on the change other than to say he be- lieved it would work out quite satis- factorily. To Pay Salaries The provincial government will pay the salaries of the new magistrates appointed under the reorganization of the • magisterial system in Ontario, I. A. Humphries, K.C., deputy attorney general, said today. Later, however, the government may change this plan, he intimated, by apportioning some of the cost to the ,municipalities, . Under the reorganization, salaries ranged' from $2,500 to $'4,000 a year. 'Although J. F. McKinley of Ot- tawa has been retired from his mag- istracy, his status as c hairman of the Ontario parole board and judge of the juvenile court are unaffected, Mr,; Humphries said. The Lure of the Lakes usic, moonlight, glorious 1V1 lake breezes with six hun- dred miles of sailing on the Canadian Pacific's Great Lakes vessels S.S. Assinibola, Keewatin and Manitoba are at the disposal of passengers on the company's lines travelling from eastern to western Canadian points or as a pleasant diversion on the return- ing journey for the small added cost'of ten dollars for berth and meals each way. This delightful prospect fol- lows the announcement by the Canadian Pacific that four -piece orchestras will, for a period of nine weeks, dispense music on the Assinibola and Keewatin en route while the vessels pass through Georgian Bay, across the northern part of Lake Hu- ron, through the Sault Ste. Marie locks and thence to Fort William on Lake Superior, a pleasant, lazy and restful. journey of 39 hours from Port MoNicoll or Owen Sound. To all those whq are planning a trip to or from the west, this economical optional trip era-. bracing dancing, cozy cabins, plenty of deck space and luxuri ously-appointed dining saloons; with glimpses of ever-changing: scenery or bracing stretches of blue water, is one that cannot be overlooked. It is at the dis- posal of every vacationist and this season promises to be im- mensely popular not only witbi Canadians but with visitors to this country as 'well. eallUltesaaavalftemagallfteleavati THE 110 had a phrase for it "CAVEAT EMPTOR," meaning, "Let the buyer be- ware." This wasn't used as a bit of balm to ease the ancient conscience nor, yet, was it placarded in the booths and stalls of the market -place. It was a piece of every -day knowledge, born of dear -bought experience. A shopkeeper knew little about the source of his merchandise. This tunic he bought from a trader, who said it came from Byzantium. So he sold it as the latest Byzantian style. The trader toldhim the dye was pure Tyrian—it wouldn't fade. So he sold it as Tyrian dyed. But the buyer knew the respon- sibility was his own. If he guessed wrongly, or his judgment was poor, it was his hard luck. Today, fortunately, there are safer guides than the blanket -warning to "let your eyes be your mar- ket." These guides are the newspaper advertise- ments. In this newspaper, they are a catalogue of the best values in town -signed by responsible firms. If' the goods are not all that is claimed for them, their sponsors would need to "beware." For no business can thrive on a one-time sale, or on dis- satisfied customers. A signed advertisement is, in a way, like a pro- misory note. The advertiser has made a statement, and affixed his signature as a sign of good faith. So,/ read the advertisements before you start out on a buying -trip. Make this a daily habit, and see how much you save—in time, in temper, in mon- ey, in shoe -leather. The Clinton Nevis -Record $1.571 a year. Worth More DON'T FAIL TO HEAD TO DAY THE ADVERTISEMENTS IN
