Goderich.
The death of Mr. Joseph E. White-
ly occurred at his home on the Huron
Road on Monday, Dec. 31st. He was
confined to his hed less than a Week,
an attack of influenza developing into
pneumonia. He was a lifelong resid-
ent of Goderich Township, where he
was born sixty-five years ago. He
lived on the .old Whitely homestead
on the .7;th concession until 14 years
ago, when with his family he moved
to the residence on the Huron Road,
a short distance from the town. Mr.
Whitely had been treasurer of athe
Township for thirty-three years. He
leaves his wife, formerly' Miss Ed-
ward, two daughters, Miss Ethel,

son,
The Ashifield correspondent to The
Signal says: "The most recdnt addi-
tion to our population is a little son
that came to make the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C, Campbell happy. The
gift of a boy after four daughters has
made a proud as well as a happy
family group. When the four little
Campbell girls sang so cleverly and
sweetly at the 'Racket Christmas tree
last week the chairman remarked it
was no longer a case now of the
Campbells are coming. They had
come to splendid purpose. The
mother and child are doing well.

-The question to what -degree the
land could be better employed ie eon-

1,600,000 aeres could be used more

"Certain parts could no doubt be
put to better tuie, but nothing like
the area many people -say. There is a
good deal of loose talk generally
about the number of men who °Mild
be settled, In the outer Highlands
especially the settlement is practical-
ly, as complete as it can be."
One whose knowledge of the High-
lands is not easily rivalled said to
me;
"Where hbldings are forsaken It is
only, as a rule, because.they simply
will not maintain the family. Ofteh,.
the younget folk come south ais eta:
licemen, soldiars, or achool teachers,
and when 'their time of pension na-
tives they return. That la waa Y.ou

"Communal grazing of stooks of
sheep is common in the glens; 'fionie-
times shepherds are appointed by the
glen committee. This happens, I be-
lieve, in Dumas', where 60 or 80
&attire join, but at lambing time the
crofter takes his own ewes and keen
competition exists. When lambing is
over the whole glen watches each
man's sheep going off to the hills, and
cries go up: 'Dougal MacKay made a
fine job o' that,' or 'James Fraser
didna do that o'er weel," The result
Fe a very high percentage of lambs.
"These Highland communities have
developed and changed vastly in my
lifetime. Girls have shingled and
bobbed each other, and during the
past two years the kilt has had a
great vogue and revival among them,
due no doubt to the faehionable short
skirt.

When I was a boy rent payment,
sheep or cattle selling, and keeping

getting v,ery 'fou'—sometimes it last-

tirely vanished, Grandfather drank

does. Nearly every village has its

"Porridge is still the staple break-
fast taken with bowl of milk (no
sugar) and followed by a cup of very
strong tea with bread and butter and
an egg or bacon if times are good.
Oat cake is going out."
The settling of men on small hold-
ings continues and there is no lack
of demand from tenants when the
Government's purchases become
known. Since 1912 3,691 new hold-
ings and enlargements have been cre-
ated in the -erofting counties." The
enlargement of existing crofts is
more popular, I am told, than the
creation of new holdings.
The forestry commission are exper-
imenting with forestry workers'
holdings as distinct' from small hold-
ings, guaranteeing holders eix
months' work In the forests, leaving
them six months to devote to their
holdings, About 136 holdings have
been completed in two years and 60
others are in progress, some as small
as two acres (usually devoted to
poultry), others 10.to 15 acres or ar,
able and grazing. A few out -of -work
Lanarkshire miners are being ac-
cepted.
• The commission employs more than
1,100 men and 200 juveniles and wo-
men. During the past ten years 37,-
400 acres have been planted and Otis
year's program is 7,500 acres. Trees
are conifers, larch, Scots pine, firs,

Mr, A. W. Webster passed away on
Sunday afternoon, January 13th, at
the Wingham hospital where he had
been for two weeks. Mr. Webster
came to Wingham many years ago
and opened a tailor shop, where he
employed as many as twenty hands
at one time and had a large business
connection. But with changed busi-
ness methods and the progress nf
highly -specialized factory production
his business soon diminished. In the
early years Mr. Webster built what
was the "Castle" on Carling Terrace,
a very pretentious home at,that time
ancl where he lived with hs parents
and brother. Some years afterwards
it was purchased and converted into
the Wingham hospital. Sad to re-
late, fortune did itot smile any too
sweetly on the builder of this place,
and there seemed an irony of fate
that he should spend the last few
days of an active life ih the shelter
of a building which to him at one
time must have meant the future of
a thousand dreams. Rev. Dr. Perrie
conducted the funeral service.

POWER OF'D.01,I,AR
IS EASILY SHOWN
It is a rather wonderful thing,
when you stop to think about it, what
one lone dollar will do, if it is kept at
work. This has beea illusttrated in a,
Striking' manner on several occasions
by means of a very simple experi-
ment, If you want to see just how
Important a arialar bill .plays in the
Jife.of a commtmity.hereis the Way to
ao it: just -attach a tag to the dollar
and turn it loose. with, .the request
that the person who.'receives the dol-
lar make a note on She tag as to haw.
he received la The result will be an
eye-opener. -
IHere is the way it.works:_Smith,
the lumber dealer, who first poasesses
the dollar, buys some drygoods from
Brown and pays for them with the
dollar. About that time Jones, the
plumber, who had done work for
Brown,, sends his, collector around '
and Brawn pays his bill .with this dol-
lar. Jones' owes Green, the printer, a
small advertising bill, so he sends
this dollar with possibly some others,
to Green to pay his bill. Green ti
just put the dollar in his cash d
when in comes Black, the milk ,
to .whoni Green owes e. dollar for intik
delivered at his house. Green takes
'the dollar out of his cash drawer' and
pays Black, For some time Black
has owecl White," the carpenter, for
work done on his dairy house, so he
now takes the dollar that Green has
paid him and pays up what he owes
White. White still owes for some
lumber that he bought front Smith,
the lumber dealer and squares up
his account with Smith. Smith now
has his dollar back. Brown has been
able to pay his plumbing hill. 'jones
has squared up with the printer, and
so on all around the- circle'.
;Now suppose that .Smith, instead of
buying his drygoods. from' Brown,
had purchased them from a mail or-
der house in a far distant city or had
motored to a neighboring, city and
used his dollar to pay- for them.
Baronet would not have had that dollar
to pay Jones, the plumber; Jones
could not have paid his printing bill;
the printer world' had to stand
off the milkman; White, the carpenter
would not have got the money for
the work he had clone for the milk-
man, and. Smith would not have got
the .money Which Waite awed him
for lumber.
This is all so simple- that it re-
quirea no Student or -economics , or
professor of mathematics to figure it
out. Anyone can see that when
Smith sends or takes that dollar to
the city, that dollar is gone se far as
Smith and' Jones and Green and the
rest- of the people in - Smith's town
are concerned. That dollar will never
come back to pay any bills in Smith's
town. And the thing that stands out
mnet etriking, but is most often over-
looked, is that Smith, the man who
first spends the dollar, is hurt just as
metal as when he semis that dollar
out of town as is the home dry-
efoode man from whom he might have
bought his clothes.
N'ow just multiply this, one dollar
by a hundred or a thousand • or ten
thousand. One dotter may not seem
to melte much difference in the aver-
age town, but a thousand dollars or
even a hundred dollars does make, a
difference. .just as one dollar will
pay a dozen or a hundred small bills,
a hundred or a thousand dollars will
par a dozen or a hundred big bills.
When Brown, the drygoocls • Mani
owes a thousancl.dollars and can't pay
it, he ie headed for the bankrup,t,:fro
con r ts. When Jones, the pta rn
ii
can't collect the money which is chi
him from P,rottro or maybe a dozeii
Browns, he is headed in the same dir-
ection as Brown. And so it. goes all
around the circle until it hits Smith,
oi cloeen Smalls who have sent or
taken their money out of town to edd
to t he rortunes of the city 0150,
Thus it will be seen that the man
who buys out of town is not 'hurting
the home merchant when he sends his,
money out of town, any more than 'he
is hurting himself, •
Every sensible man knows that his
livelihood (knell ds upon wh e the r bus-
inesS in his town is good or not. If
business Is not good, he cannot make
a good Iisisg for himself and his fa-
mily. no matter how• heed he maY
