medal of the Congress ''of the United.
States, the reverse side of wli'ich' bore
the inscription: "ile illuminated the
p'a'th of progress iby his invention's,"
On that occasion President Cool-

For more Shan 50 }beats Edison

vention was 'born of the Edison brain
on the average of about one every
two weeks, and his registration of
approximately 1;200 patents at Wash-
ington made him: the most prolific
inventor of his atime, and per'iraps, of
all time.

the number of 'his inventions, but also
because of the remarkably high per-
centage of his discoveries and evolu-
tions that became practical factors.
both commonplace and marvellous, in
the life of the world. The latter fact
probably was due to the economic and
'financial failure of his first patent.
When a young man working as a
telegraph operator at 'Boston, Mr,
Edison perfected an electrical• vote
recording machine which he endeav-
ored to have Massachusetts ofifetaie
adopt. It was rejector "because it
would work" and thus Would prevent
filibustering. Thus convinced that
he had wasted a lot of Bute and
money, the young inventor resolved ire of his early inventions was the

IWitla the outbreak of the World
War, the Edison works, anions many
American- industries, faced a serious
situation 'becauseof the. cessation of
imports of various chemicals for
which the United' States had depend-
ed upon Europe. The "Wizard of
11 anlo Park," as Edison had _conte to
be known, then plunged into the mys-
teries of synthetic chemistry and
evolved processes for the maittrfacture
of various products that were needed
in industry and which beca me es-
sential in the noanufactnre of muni-
tions after the 'United .States entered

Yet with all that he had contrib-
uted to the progress of life and for
the benelfit of mankind, itEr. Edison
was not content. He ttn•itcd in his
later years to a new field of en-
deavor,. devoting a great deal of his
time to iisve's'tigatioits and experi-

of rubber .from plant's, shrubs and
bushes in the United States in order
to meet a possible national emerg-
ency and to give the rubber trade a
new "miracle" to round out his car-
eer of invention,
Thomas Alva Edison was horn at
Milan, Ohio, February 11. 1847, ` the.
son of Samuel and NancyElliott Ed-
ison, 1iIis ancestors emigrated from
•Hoyland in 15730. His great grandfath-
er lived to be 104, his grandfather 102.
and his father was 94 when he died.
'Edison was night operator For the
Grand Trunk at Stratford 'Junction,
Ont., at ,one time. There, the story is
told, he conceived the idea far his
first contrivance, a device to ehwart
orders .for an all-night vigil promul-
gated by the circuit Manager.
The latter, fearing that young Edi-
son might fall asleep at his lonely
post, ordered him to tick off the sig-
nal "six" every half hour. That, to
Edison, seemed senseless, so he rig-
ged up a wheel with notches that
automatically ticked .off the required
signal.
Edison left Itis job at Stratford
Junction in haste without even the
formality of a resignation when he
permitted a• train, which he was di-
rected to stop, to pass by the station.
Taking time to reply to the order,
he found upon reaching the station
platform that rhe train had gone by.
A disastrous collision was avertes
only because the engineers of the two
trains travelling toward each other on
straightaway track were able to stop
them in time.
'In 1876 Edison established his first
laboratory at Menlo Park. The favor -

and station buildings and provided 351,000 days
work for men otherwise unemployed. Co-

Since the commencement of the
existing economic situation the
Canadian Pacific Railway has
spent a matter of eleven to twelve
million dollars in providing work
for unemployed Canadians. When
it was apparent in the late summer
of 1930, that certain areas of
southern Saskatchewan were to
suffer from almost complete crop
failure, the Company took upon
itself to E:,ssist the people in that
territory by beginning the cons-
truction of a branch line between
Vanguard
and May-
ronne. This
line would
not, in the
ordinary
course of
events, have
beenbuilt for
some time,
and certainly
not at a time
when there

Chnirsonn and President But the Com-
Caeeeien Parmelee. parry desired
to give employment to +oho farmers
and then' -teams in the drought
area. The total cost of the line is
estimated to be approximately
$1,000,000, and this work is still
proeeech.
TheDomngfn'ion Government sub-
sequently undertook considerable
work for the unemployment relief,
and. the Canadian Pacific was
called upon to cooperate. This
the Coos cany did to the limit of its
abilf-, e. 'ay anti ipating worlss
which ,:'yuld, normally, not have
'aeon started fel a number of year:;
These works included a number of
new branch lines he build of
new station at tiegina, some grade
revision in 'British Columbia, and
also the application on various
subdivisions of new rail and new
rock and gravel ballast. The total
cost of these works were estimated
at $11,514,000 and, according to
agreement with the Government,
are to be completed at the end of
the current year. It is true that
the Dominion agreed to pay in-
terest'for a limited period on this
capital cost, but after receipt of
this interest, the Canadian Pacific
will still have expended over
$10,600,000 from its own Treasury
in order to improve the situation
in the country generally. This ex-
penditure'has been made at a time
when the Company's revenues aro
suffering severely as a result of
business depression. Thio pro-
gramme of work, undertaken in
order to cooperate with the
Government, had given 351,000
days work to individuals otherwise
unemployed up to August 81st last,
and at September 14th it was es-
timated that approximately 100,-
000 more
00,-000-more working days would be
furnished before the works were
completed.
Although the Company has suc-
ceeded in making substantial re-
ductions in operating costs, it has
hesitated to pursue its policy of
economy to the limit out of regard
for the serious obligation which
rests upon all corporations to glee
as much employment as possible.
While protecting the interest of
shareholders as Sar as is consistent
with its duty to the country, the
Canadian Pacific hes been. ,con-
servative in its aptelication of

at that time he 'had lived' 115 years.
"That is," he explained, "working as

;Farmers anticipating the purchase
of clover and alfalfa seeds, would be
well advised to da so now. The situa-
tion is that there are many Ontario

FIREBUG IN'WEN'TWO'RTH CO.
Wentworth Connty 'seethed with
armed men last week after the tenth
barn had been 'burned, The police
were cnm'bing the highways and side
roads, anis litindred's of automobiles
were parked throughput the fire area.
The police believed that the criminal

Guarding property at night and
searching fields and bus'hland during
the 'day, ,!t was hoped to 'capture the
firebug or drive him from the, country.
Rather than risk losing their live
stock, the majority of farmers turned
cattle, horses and other stock out of
the stables and locked the doors.
In so aroused and dangerous a
frame of mind are the farmers of the
affected countryside that the police
were in constant' fear that an innocent
stranger might be attacked in Mis-
take for the pyromaniac. '\'o visitor
unknown to the residents of the dis-
trict unless in police uniform, would

on'as-atch agree.
1Free of any suspicion, James '\Ic-
Connell, hired man on the Johnston
Tew farm, ,the scene •of the Monday
night blaze, was allowed his freedom
on'\'edensday.'Taken from the crowd
of spectators who watched the Surer-
us blaze, the young man was question-
ed for more than two 'hours in the
back .kitchen of the Surerus home, attd
later was taken to !Hamilton, where
the examination was completed.
'Scarcely had the 'burning embers on
the Surerus fire ceased to reflect' their
glow across the sky north of Greene-

Rockton-Westover area warned the
countryside that the fire bug had

night were razed. Stock, crop and
implements were in the structure and
300 fowl perished. He estimated his
loss at $7;000, and only a small por-
tion of it was covered 'by insurance.'
