With the cost of living in • Britain not markedly below that in Canada :it is not to be wondered 'at that there isp rotest among the miners ` at the Proposed new wage scale which • is fixed at about eleven dollars per week for full time and with lost time in many cases will not average more 'than eight or nine dollars per full =week of six days. Unskilled laborers 'will not draw more than $6.84 per -week. It is not a living wage but how to work out a solution in the fa- ,ce of the keen European competition .is the .diffirulty. -0- COMMENCERS Along with June roses and June weddings conies the annual crop of good advice to graduates. "Success" -is the topic. The world receives its _yearly accession of school -trained :youngsters with somewhat the same :sense of hopes and fears and respon- ,sibilitiesthat it feels for the babies, Tlie boys and girls out of school are born again to new and enlarged phas- es of life experience, and the world is anxious about them. What should seem simpler then `than that the world should - delegate its successful ones to give the •form - ria of success to the new -comers? Pass the word along to the novices; you have succeeded; tell them how you did it. The result; is disappoint- ing or would be if it were talpn seri- ously, -. The ol'dheads can't tell the beginn- ens the how. They themselves know very well how little of their achieve- ment came about by their own efforts how much was due to an admixture of chance, of favorable circumstances and boosting of •others., There is no specific direction making straight the road to success. The elders never can perauade the boya and girls at commencement that they are to tread paths marked with footprints: The optimistic, eager,' adventurousspirits, who for a whole year have been ac custorned to the dignity of being call ed "seniors", are bent on nothing less than the conquests of new worlds. Commencement means to commence, not to finish. It is well. The wisest who have li- ved have not made the world what it oughtto be, The job has, not been very well done, Take a chance on the "commencers." There is much that needs commencing. We need better cities and better farms, better govern- ment and better citizens, better busi- ness' and better recreation, better in dustries. and better arts -in the whole category of what has`been accomplish- ed there is nothing that could not be better. Turn the graduates loose without toomuch hampering advice. After all, each must create his world for himself. JUNE Thep oets have done well by June. The subject "supplies inspiration .en - ()ugh fbr any rhymester to do his best. If June is :ordinarily well behaved it deserves all that the great and little poets have sung about it, Occasion- ally the month shows a rebellious spir- it, but so rarely is this true that the exceptions may be taken to prove the poet's rule of blssedess and praise for June.. Nature'. perfects herself in the sixth month of the. year. Perhaps some persons will hold that nature's perfec- tion comes at the harvest season whi- ch falls well *forward into the " hazy days. `There is, however, a harvest of -flowers as wellasof fruits and grains, and the abundance of blossoms conies in June along' with brides, girl graclu- tes and other things pleasant to look. upon: "A young .man's fancy lightly turns/ to: thoughts of love" -until the flor- ist's bill comes in. ;.<`x..`,44.'r' 4, 1 eaMe'INIdtra4lieb&AU. r.'4.

(The Labor Leader) The printing industry has been'very dull in Canada: during the past year. Every city in Canada has a lot of idle compositors, pressmen, machine oper ators, bindery workers and lithograp- hers. These workmen would appreci- ate jobs. There is a lot of printing done for Canadian concerns that is not produced in Canada, Advertising pamphlets, advertising show cars, illustrated and advertising. periodicals, price books, catalogues and price 'lists, ' calendars, almanacs,. patent -medicine circulars, fly sheets, pamphlets, etc., are ordered by ' Ca- nadian `firms from U. S. A. printing houses and used for advertising pur- poses in Canada. Nearly $2,00o,00o. worth was imported during the past year. Two million dollars would provide employn ent for hundreds of idle Ca- nadian printers, Canadian printers produce as fine work as is produced anywhere at prices below large U. S. concerns, as wages are less in Can- ada. But Canadian printing orders are not so largein volume as Ameri- cans obtain and, therefore, are more expensive to produce.. , It certainly seems very inconsistent for a manufacturer to label his pro- ducts "Made in Canada" and sell them with advertising natter labelled "Printed.: in the TJ. • S.,'A." 1112111IM111M11111111IIMI11111111111111 111®I1IMI1111111111111>>11111M111®111111I1I111111II511II11311IlIIISI11111 J r 111 0.,MORECHIBKEN ,THIEVE. When the FEDERAL BURGLAR ALARM is attached to your ft chicken -house your hens are safe --nobody can steal them. The Federal is a very simple spring -steel device that works like P. a trap when a chicken thief opens any door or window to which it is connected; the alarm makes a very loud report, scaring the thief and ai awakening your whole household, i TELEPHONES IN OPERATION The total telephones in operation in all Canada as of December 3rst., 1925, was 5,148,770, an increase of 64,- 806, or 15.9 per cent, during' the year. Canada's clevelopment has now reach- ed 13.1 teleplt'ones per handred of po- pulation. Of the Provinces, British 'Columbia still leads with 18.1 telephones per hundred inhabitants. • Ontario is next with 17.4; then follow Saskatche:watx with 13.2, Alberta 11.9, Manitoba 55.3, Quebec 9,7, Nova Scotia 7.6, New Brunswick 7,5, Prince Edward Island 4.8 and Yukon 4..8: Quebec had the greatest gain in 1925, viz; 9.6 per cent.;` Ontario next with 7.4 pen cent,; and then British Columbia 6.5 per cent., , Of the Canadian telephone,systems, the Bell Company is apparently grow: ing most rapidly, For 1925 the Com- pany's increase was '9.8 per cent. and the 'British Columbia Telephone Com- pany next with 6.9 per cent. Ten years ago (December 31st., 5955) Canada had 553,032, as compar- edw,ththe present figure of over' x,- 54877o, over Imo per •cent. ' increase within the decade, NOTED, CANADIANS Canada has reason to he proud' of het native born soil, ' the Hon. Ven Archdeacon 'Cody of Toronto, who has been invited to preach the Annual League of Nations Sermon -at Geneva, Switzerland this year. The Rev. Canon Cody is a son of ex -Postmaster, Cody of Einbro, Ont., having been born in.•Embro,, `Oxford, County, Ontario in the year of Coit--. federation. After a brilliant Scholas= tic' career at Toronto . University' and Wycliffe College, where he graduat- ed 'with High Honours in Classics, he was appointed Principal of Ridley College, St, Catharines, Ont. His wife is a daughter of the late lament- ed E. F. Clarke, M. P. for Center Toronto. For the past twenty five years he has been Rector of the larg- est, wealthiest Protestant Church in Canada, St. Pauls Cat iedral, Toronto. His salary being over $8,000 a year. He declined the offer of Arch Bishop of Mellnourne Australia, a few years ago which was a very' te.n}ptidg offer, because he stated "He was a Canad- ian anad ian first, last and always."

NEWS The •First Wing am :Troup of Scouts, participated in a very success- ful hike on Saturday last. Leaving Winghatn in two separate patrols, Beavers and Foxes at 9.301 a. m., they arrived at their objective at x 1.10.. The Beavers won the prize for best exhi- bition of scouting. The latsrels went to Foxes, for catering -however. Bluevale afforded every hospitality fora pleasant bivouac ,on the mean- dering banks of the 'Maitland. Scput Leader Withers of St. Thomas was a welcome guest for the day. We re- gret Lieut. Wright is being. moved from Wingharn. His visits at Scout meetings gave zest and encourage- ment. The Softball game played on the school ground, though strongly con- tested resulted, ina tie. We regretted the absence of Tender- foots Hopper and Fry. We expect a conspicuous display of efficiency badges with the next hike. The thanks of the Scouts goes out to Mr. A. H. Coombes who kindly 'do- nated butter and buttermilk. BIG TRUCK WENT THROUGH BRIDGE Ignoring all the' traffic laws and the Sunday observance regulations of the Province, a large group of Buffalo' men --all Jews -calve to grief it Paisley on Sunday afternoon while passing through here with a load of fresh fish from Southampton to c93uffalo. In takings the detour from ,Queen Street, which is closed at the,north end for the laying of the new roadway, the truck broke .,through Ross St. bridge. The authorities here being liable for. dam- ages under the circumstances, had the, load weighed out. The truck scales,, 4 112 tons and the load of 36 boxes of fish weighed around 5 tons. This far exceeds the traffic limit for On- tario Highways, so the owner of the outfit settled by paying the estimated cost of repairs to the bridge (23), and got off without prosecution for over- loading.' They also were out the ex- pense, of getting the truck out of the hole, but werdfortunate in that the ma- chine was not damaged and they were able to proceed with part of the car. go next morning, the balance being sent by express from the C.N,Rs' sta- tion, Besides the men handling ,the truck and load, an automobile load of, other, people accompanied the 'ship- ment. 'The truck had gone through to the north.on Sunday mornings Paisley Advocate.

One of those who are a menace to the lives of the little children ,who play around and have to use the cross streets between. the earner at the Monument and the school, where warning notices are displayed, rushed up John Street on Tuesday forenoon at the rate of forty or fifty miles ah hour, without even sounding a warn- ing or slackening speed at the cross streets, , To stop itt case of accident,; _would have been impossible. If this isrnot put a stop to at once, private parties will have to take a hand to see that it i5 stopped, Observer.
