"Upon the answer to this question- elepends the industrial future of our country; and the welfare of millions of homes," writes the Marquess of Londonderry in •a little booklet, To- wards Industrial - Statesmanship. ')without thinking very deeply, most of us would answer unhesitatingly: 'To get money, of course!' "But that is quite wrong. No one works for money really., We all work Tor what money will buy—food, clothes and pleasure. Neitherh five -pound note nor a shilling would he of any earthly use if we could not obtain in .e:cchange for it ..those things which will satisfy our daily needs. • The Hurly-Burly of. Modern Industry "This fact is not sufficiently ap- preciated in the hn'1y-burly of modern industry, yet it 11 fundamental to the revival of industry. We- cannot live without work, and as it is the chief de- sire of most people- to attain a far thighet standard of living, it can come only through Harder and more intelli- gent work by all classes. I say all; • sa-a- deliberately, fol' successful in- dustry is a co-operative effort, and if one department slacks or is unintelli- gent, the whole of that industry suf- fers. "When people save money, it is generally for What they can get at some future date in exchange for their sayings. One often hears the young artisan say he is 'saving'up to get marrled: This means he is working harder to earn more money, which he hopes to spend in exchange for a home. "Another illusion which must be dis- pelled before we can lay a better and surer ' -foundation for industrial revival is that work is an affliction. It is nothing of the sort. Out food, clothes, Owl.

Young Wife—No, dear; not as long ars you live, Fable: Once there Was a rich Young bachelor who didn't think every feminine smile an effort to hook him. pleasure, home and all the social and domestic conveniences we enjoy to- day are the result of work. Without them our affliction would be great in deed. "Success in any industry is the re cult of hard work, and those who shared the work must have thought it anything but an affliction or they would have failed. "To think and to teach" that work is an affliction, is to 1111 the mind with economic poison. Along this path will not be found the money necessary to 'MY the things with which to carry on life, nor the health and happiness which accompany work as by-products. We shall find, however, a great num- ber of disgruntled people, extremists in thought and purpose, who believe itnd preach work to be an affliction, and cause industrial unrest, but who would very soon revolt 1f the farmer, the baker, the tailor, the railwayman, she doctor, the printer, refused to work. "Work, and all kinds of it, is the normal, healthy state of mankind. Real • happiness does not come without work, our own in combination with that of others•. We must work to live at all; and even if the element of money had no existence we should have to work just as hard, for work is essential' to life. Try and Find Out "The busiest person is the happiest person, while the man whose work is truly hard is the much -envied luxuri- ous idler, Who is always on the look - Out for 'something, to do.' "The whole matter is one of the cur- rent attitude towards work, which is neither an affliction per a mere means for procuring money. Work done in the spirit of its being an affliction must ahvays be our worst wont and cannot sell to advantage in the world's markets. That would mean Increased unemployment, low' wages, and pov- erty for the nation. "If the gold mines of the world Petered out we should still have to work in spite of the fact. We work. to serve others by what we produce, as they serve us.. The miller hews coal that the baker might bake into bread what the farmer : has grown, gold being merely a means of ex- change by which the miner, the baker and the farmer can buy each other's services.

Jasper Park "Haymaker" One of the interesting and curious little animals that inhabit Jasper Na- tional. Park in Alberta, is the pike. It is about the size of a G-uihea pig, with rounded ears, short legs and no visible tail. It can often be seen run- ning rabbit -like across the boulders. Another name for the pike is "the hay- maker" from his habit of storing away dried grasses and plants for his winter food. Sometimes under an overhang- ing rock there will be found his minia- ture haystack, a bundle containing per- haps a bushel of well cured vegetation, which includes apparently specimens of every plant in the neighborhood.

The Wheat Crisis London Daily Herald (Lab.): It has beet Tether lightly taken for granted that the main reason for the crisis in the wheat industry is that the world as a whole is now producing more wheat thanit needs. The Italian Pre- mier suggests that the explanation is that the improvement in the standard of living at the enol of the war has caused people who were mainly living on bread before to.turn to other and more expensive foods. We doubt this. The crisis did not come in those years, It has come at a time when the stand- ard of living is being depressed every- where.
