More than ono case may be describ- ed in the letter, but every statement must be literally and absolutely true. Every letter must be signed by the full name and correct address of the person sending it. If it describes the case of some person other than the writer of the letter, it must also be signed by the person whose case is described, as a guarantee of the truth of the statements made. The writer of each letter must give the name of the paper in which he or she saw this announcement. Fine writing will not win the prize unless you have a good case to de- scribe.

Ingham industry, The best vegetable buttons were made out of the Curozo nut of South America. The shell -is substantial and is lighter and more pliable than ivory besides being much cheaper. It also lends itself to dyeing. Next came the pearl button. It is, of course, well-known that mother-tn- pearl forms the substance of most pearl buttons; but the category of mother-of-pearl may not be entirely familiar to the laity. The most beau- tiful pearl buttons are produced from Macassar pearl, which come from calcareous concretion of mollusks' shells found in the seas of the East Indies. These shells are "mothers of the priceless pearls beloved by the women of fashion." Their grain is the purest and they are the largest THE NECESSARY BUTTON ONCE AN ORNAMENT Not even the Isfitton is exempt from the fate or fortune that has followed nearly everything else that people buy in recent years. It has doubled in price according to a statement by Irving Crane, of the Associated Cloth- ing Manufacturers of New York. But probably it has not caused a corres- ponding advance in the price of a suit of clothes as the buttons are not use any more as ornaments, at least on men's apparel, and a couple of dozen of them are all anybody needs tor the purpose of keeping his clothes together. Time was when the but- tcns were more expensive than the cloth itself, when they were consider- ed as ornamental as precious stones and the presence of paste buttons to- day recalls the fact that once there were ;buttons of diamdfids. Before the Norman Conquest buttons were un- known in England where the rude forefathers probably kept their gar- ments together with strings or thongs and for some time after their intro- duction from the continent they were purely decorative. It was in the 17th century that the manufacture of but- tons became an industry which was later to become an important one in Birmingham, whence they went to all parts of the world.

The metal button industry on this side of the Atlantic was really born in Waterbury, Conn., about '1800. In 1869, the vegetable button was first made in the United States at Leeds, Mass., by A. W.

After the Fordney U.S. Tariff of 1922 went .into effect in the United States we sold them only $51,337,733 worth. By raising their tariffs the United States farmers have put about $100;0061000 per annum more into their pockets and the Canadian farmers have lost it. What is thele,sson to the Canadian farmer? On what termLis the Canadian farmer competing with the farmer of the United States? They are terms that not only forbid the sale of his products in the United States but compel him at the same time to witness United States farm products replacing his own in the home markets of Canada. Let us examine some of these terms. For Entrance PRODUCTS into Canada the Americans pay: Potatoes 35 cts. per 100 lbs. Eggs . 3 cts. per doz. Butter .......... . 4 cts. per lb. Cheese 3 cts. per lb. Cattle 25% Hay. $2.00 per ton Wheat Flour 50 cts. per barrel Wheat . . . 12 cts. per bushel Corn . Free Certain Fruits 4% For Entrance into the United States the Canadians pay: 50 cts. per 100 lbs. 8 cts. per doz. 8 cts. per lb. 5 cts. per lb. 40% $4.00 per ton $2.04 per barrel 42 cts. per bushel 15 cts. per bushel 3 s The United States raised their tariff, in order to protect the American Farmers, and the purchasing of foreign farm products was reduced. It was, therefore, to the American Farmer's benefit. And we prove it. In the next column we list a few Canadian products imported by the United States under the 1921 tariff and under the raised tariff of September 21st, 1922. These figures are quoted from the "Com- mercial Intelligence Journal" published by Ottawa Government (26th September, 1925, page 324). re 4 Canadian Farm Exports to the United States, 11 months ending • August 1921 and 11 months ending August 1925 1921 Articles U.S. Quantity .

Under this treaty Australian (and New Zealand) farm products will enter Canada at the following tariffs. PRODUCTS Eggs, per doz Cheese Butter................. Honey.

Meanwhile half a million Canadians h:ve moved to the United States because of the tariff reductions that h ve closed up or slowed down hundreds of factories. That is, half a million buyers of C3nadian farm products have been lost. The fare rra.;.rs aoa hit twice.

The metal button industry on this side of the Atlantic was really born in Waterbury, Conn., about '1800. In 1869, the vegetable button was first made in the United States at Leeds, Mass., by A. W. Critchlow, an Enne lishman. In 1862, Newark, N. J., tried to manufacture composition buttons to overcome the mechanical prob- lem, but was unsuccessful.

After the Fordney U.S. Tariff of 1922 went .into effect in the United States we sold them only $51,337,733 worth. By raising their tariffs the United States farmers have put about $100;0061000 per annum more into their pockets and the Canadian farmers have lost it. What is thele,sson to the Canadian farmer? On what termLis the Canadian farmer competing with the farmer of the United States? They are terms that not only forbid the sale of his products in the United States but compel him at the same time to witness United States farm products replacing his own in the home markets of Canada. Let us examine some of these terms. For Entrance PRODUCTS into Canada the Americans pay: Potatoes 35 cts. per 100 lbs. Eggs . 3 cts. per doz. Butter .......... . 4 cts. per lb. Cheese 3 cts. per lb. Cattle 25% Hay. $2.00 per ton Wheat Flour 50 cts. per barrel Wheat . . . 12 cts. per bushel Corn . Free Certain Fruits 4% For Entrance into the United States the Canadians pay: 50 cts. per 100 lbs. 8 cts. per doz. 8 cts. per lb. 5 cts. per lb. 40% $4.00 per ton $2.04 per barrel 42 cts. per bushel 15 cts. per bushel 3 s The United States raised their tariff, in order to protect the American Farmers, and the purchasing of foreign farm products was reduced. It was, therefore, to the American Farmer's benefit. And we prove it. In the next column we list a few Canadian products imported by the United States under the 1921 tariff and under the raised tariff of September 21st, 1922. These figures are quoted from the "Com- mercial Intelligence Journal" published by Ottawa Government (26th September, 1925, page 324). re 4 Canadian Farm Exports to the United States, 11 months ending • August 1921 and 11 months ending August 1925 1921 Articles U.S. Quantity .

Meanwhile half a million Canadians h:ve moved to the United States because of the tariff reductions that h ve closed up or slowed down hundreds of factories. That is, half a million buyers of C3nadian farm products have been lost. The fare rra.;.rs aoa hit twice. Note for Pro For. the Farminl .00tioet;*.t.estao neiti4441011.44 Ol&issft ;et::
