The ' War
It is amazing how little we really
'UMow about the war and how uncom-
fortable that little is beginning to
make us.feeL
We know that the passenger Iiner
,Athena, and the British battleship
Courageous, have been sunk by Ger-
man submarines.
We know that there is a British
ilxperitionary force in France, and
we know that a Russian ' army has
invaded Poland_
Beyond that the censors have not
told us much. And perhaps, it is just
as well. Even that little has left
mach rooin for conjecture.
What will it mean to us if Russia
goes in and America stays out? And
what will Italy do, and the other
Balkan States, and Japan?
WQone of these things are very
comforting, And they all point to a
long, long war. But in spite of these
things, we have not heard a note of
discouragement, nor a note of fear.
On the other hand, we have never
heard of greater determination be-
ing shown by the people of Great
Britain and France, nor greater de-
termination expressed by the people
of Canada, to succeed in this war
;which has been forced upon them_
The will to win is everywhere, and
revery day it seems to tighten and
strengthen and show itself more.
It seems as if all the people in Bri-
tain, in France, and in Canada, in-
stinctively knew that if Hitler, and
what he represents, is to be stopped,
it is now or never, and they intend
to stop him, if not this year, next
year or the years after,however
long that may be.
Above all, it seems to be such a
quiet war. No bands, no hysterics,.
no boasts, no looking upon it as a
great adventure.
No illusions. -Just a dirty, -bloody
and disagreeable job that has been
set before us to do—and we are 'go-
ing to do it, and more than that, we
are going to do it very thoroughly
this time.
And after all that is the real and
the right spirit to entertain about it.
•
Be Careful
We are pretty free spoken in Can-
ada, and rather proud of that fact
too.
We don't ,whisper our opinions of
war, or makers of war, or leaders or
governments either. We say it from
the house tops.
But in war time anything may
happen, and something did happen
to a man in Toronto the other day
for talking both too long and too
loud. -
And what happened this man,
Watson, by name, was that he was ,
held on a ten thousand dollars bail,
because he "unlawfully did make
statements intended or likely to pre-
judice recruiting of His Majesty's
forces contrary to the defence of
Canada regulations_"
What happened to Mr. Watson, we
have not heard, but if he is found
guilty, we have an idea it will be
plenty. And it should be too.
We know that recruiting will not
be as fast in this war as it was in the
last one. Not because the youth of
Canada is less loyal than it was
twenty-five years, ago, but because
most people have a real knowledge
to -day of what war means, and their
knowledge is available to those who
have not.
Neither have we, at the present
time, conscription in Canada, so that
enlistment is a purely voluntary de-
cision which every one has the right
to make for himself.
But no man in Canada, whether
he is of military' age, or is head of a
y, or company, or corporation,
las the right to use his influence or
anOiority or to make statements that
liken to prejudice the recruiting

any way put an impediment an the
speech of the ordinary Canadian,
but at the same time there are quite
a few Mr. Watson's circulating
about the country who if they are
not ratified with living conditions in
Canada, should either be booted out
of the country or impounded in it..
Not Setting A Good Example
We are hearing quite a bit these
days about profiteering. It is being
everywhere. said that in spite of the
fact that Canada has a known sur-
plus of wheat, of butter, of sugar, of
eggs, of clothing, of leather, and al-
most every commodity that makes
up the family budget, the prices of
all these things have risen and are
steadily rising day by day.
And to a certain extent that is
true. But we must remember that
the majority of commodity prices
have been at a low ebb for quite
some time, due largely to the fact
that there were no demanding mar-
kets.
Now that we are at war, there is
such a market, and naturally, prices
have risen and may still rise until,
such time as the Government has
had time and opportunity to make a
complete survey -"of the' `whole situa-
tion.
Inthe meantime we do not believe
profiteering will be able to raise its
head very, high in the land_ That
there was profiteering in the last
war, and shameful profiteering too,
is only too well known. -But there is
a difference in business to -day and
business twenty-five years ago.
Before the last war, what a merch-
ant or a company bought and sold
for was their own private business.
Ledgers and account books were
sacred things not to be pried into by
Governments any more than were a
man's religious beliefs or his con-
science.
To.day these) is no such privacy in
business. The details of business and
the examination of accounts is an ev-
eryday occurrence that is system-
atically conducted,by more than one
government department. It is quite
true that this may not result in com-
pletelysuppressing all profiteering,
but it will certainly have the effect of
making it very much harder to con-
ceal such profiteering.
One would think, then, that under
t h e circumstances, Governments
would feel a great responsibility re-
volving upon them to see that busi-,
ness--all business -was conducted,
as far as was humanly possible,
without the element of profiteering
entering into it
And by the same token, one would
assume that the rules which govern
private business, regarding pro-
fiteering, should also govern the bus-
iness conducted by Governments as
well.
Apparently, however, Govern-
ments do not all look upon it ill that
light. At the recent emergency ses-
sion of the Dominion Parliament
the excise duty on spirits was raised
three dollars a gallon. Phe morning
after that ruling came into effect,
the Ontario Government passed that
increase and a little more, on to the
purchasers of the goods of which the
Government has a monopoly sale.
With thousands of gallons of spir-
its on the shelves of Government
stores throughout the Province, and
thousands of gallons more in their
warehouses, the Government stands
to make a very tidy profit out of its
monopoly.
No thinking Canadian objects in
any way to an increase in the price
of spirits at this time, because no
commodity on sale, aside from their
use for medicinal purposes, can be
viewed more in the light of an abso-
lute hinny, without a single neces-
sity entering into it. And, although
we are not in any way discussing the
liquor question, we would like to
stress that fact because it is a fact.
It is the principle of the thing that
counts. If it is right for the Liquor
Board to take advantage of a Do-
minion war measure a year or more
before that measure affects it, in or-
der to increase its profits a million
or so, it is equally right for ,a farrier
to hoard his grain and livestock, and
a merchant and manufacturer his
goods, until they get a war price for
them..
If profiteering means holding the
public up and snaking them deliver, it
looks ery mulch as 'if the Govern-
ment od by far the best chance of

"UNCLE BEN"
For as long as I can remember
Uncle Ben has been trading horses.
Where he came from no one seems
to have the faintest idea, but the ma-
jority of folios just take him as a na-
tural part of life here in the district.
I never did know what this right name

Ben.
For the past number of weeks he's
been eyeing a little chestnut mare of
mine, when I happened to have the
team in the village. He would stroll
it to a quack doctor trying to make
out you are seriously sick.
"kande ate if she might break in
the wind," he declared grimly. "My
top price is a bundled and ten dol-
lars."
And so all morning it went on.
Twice he made me offers and when
I refused, he, walked half -way across
the barnyard and turned around to
raise his bid by a dollar. The really
tough bidding was from one hu'nd'red
and forty to one hundred and fifty. I
had come down from my price to one

He raised it to one hundred and

the deal were settled. Then We split
the difference and agreed upon one

immediately pulled that familiar

THE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE
Canada's part in the' invention of
the dial or automatic system of tele -
Throning was a -very real one and hada
its origin in Brantford, Ontario'. This
was proper, as Brantford, through
Alexander Bell, gave to the World
that marvellous invention by which
people, loaf distances+ apart, commu-
lea'te with one another over the wires.
The Callender Automatic Telephone -
System was invented by Ro$iaine:
Callender, of Brantford, and there is
on, record Graham Bell's interest in.
and approval of it in 1893. For years.
Callender had been, bringing his in-
vention towards perfection, and he
gave a demonstration of it in the'
Decker building, Union Square, New -
York, on r January 23, 1895. He made.
more improvements and gave a sec-
ond demonstration in June of the
same year.
Then the Lorimer Brothers of St_
George, near Brantford, improved the
Callender system and the improved:
system was demonstrated in 1897..
The company. was reorganized with:
the name Canadian Machine Tele-
phone Company, Toronto. The first:_
exchange in Canada using this sys-
tem was opened in Peterborough,,.
Ontario, in 1905. Other exchanged
were opened at Brantford, Burford,.
St. George and Lindsay in 1908. The -
Bell Teiepthone . Company acquired
the assets of the company in 1925.
Meanwhile developments had been_
taking place in the United States. A.
B. Strowger, of Kansas City, had in-
vented an automatic system some-
what similar to our present dial sys-
tem but it required many improve-
ments before it was commercially'
feasible for exchange of various siz-
es. The first public demonstration. of -
the system was made in 1892 at La-
Porte, India, and the first dial type
telephone in the United States wase
developed in 1895. The dial was cir-
cular and, had "holds" rather than
';holes." In, 1896 an installation was
mane in Amsterdam, N. Y., and int
1897 one in Augusta, Ga. In 1899 twee
systems were installed in Berlin,.
Germany and one in Ithaca, N. Y.
The first of that system in Canada
was at Woodstock, Ont., in 1903 and
the second at Sydney Mines, N. 5...

• She Kept Her Word•.
• (By J. Boyd -Thomas)
Because Ivy kept her promise, I
have had one of the best vacations
that one could wish for. 'Who is Ivy
and what contribution did she make
to my sumrtmer holiday?
We were discussing places and
plans for a, vacation, this young lady
land) I. I had met her only once be-
fore. Explaining that I was at loose
ends regarding Ca place to go for my
vacation, she promised to make en-
quiries concerning a summer cottage
and bring to me, at my office, on a
certain day, full details for my con-
sideration. Almost a stranger to me,
I was much impressed When, true to
her word, she appeared on the day
and at the hour agreed on, with the
desired information. I am indebted
to her tor a grand holiday and for
the fact that I have, in consequence,
met soave of the finest ISeople it has
been my privilege to know. Largely
because Ivy kept her word.
This matter et keeping one's ap-
pointment has many wordy argu-
ment®, rind, I venture to say, more
friendships tbeve been sacrificed and
business, deals, lost in this regard
than orate has any conception of. The
flims lost waiting for someone to turn
up at this ,appointed hoar; the angry
'words that have resulted froth- brok-
en 'pledges to be on time. And the
lack of amt explanation or the refusal
to apologize after someone has been
badily inconvenienced 'thorough, a brok=
en eingegement, has ,so often aggra-
vated the situation to the breaking
point between friends and business
asstociates alike.
I was still a lad when my slather
had oecasiton to take me seriously'td'
task for my failure to keep as ap-
pointtmmii with him. After the had
pointed out the inconvenience, as
well as lack of cowmen courtesy, I
asked him what exactly Was his in-
terpretation of the words "Keep your
appointments," " to which lie replied,
vid1h a directness and mteaning which
:I'can never forget: "It means, being
on band five aminnutes. (before the ap-
pointed tlmie."
I am indebted to my fabher for the
sound advice be gave me on •,oS° many
seernuing trifles. I .am certahu now
that attention to his injunctions and
following Ibis admonitions have stood
nue in 'good stead through the years.
The health whicth-I enjoy is largely
the result of my observance of the
simple rules which the gave to me in
those formative years of youth. He
used to say: "Keep your feet dry;
keep your temper; and keep your rn,p-
pointments."
Whenever I notice the first indi-
cation of needy repairs to my shoes,
I hear again, "Keep your feet dry,"
or, "You cannot expect to enjoy good
health if you allow the damp to
strike at your feet." Sane, if simple,
advice, was it not?
Like most ordinary boys, I recall,
I had no little trouble with my tem-
per. It was, I think, mainly because
he was himself so splendid an ex-
am$ple of self-control, that his well-
meaning and most necessary advice
to "Keep your temper," was accept-
able from him when the game ad,
moriition from others served but to
aggravate 'me. I learned later how
foolish it is to lose one's temper in
any circunestances. The lessons was
effectively driven:_ tibmle on another
occasion when, following an uxuhapiry
disagreement with a superior, I read,
to my everlasting edification, these
words, "If ' you: are . in the right, you
can afford to keep your temper; if
you are in the wrong, you cannot af-
ford to lose it."
"Keep your appointments_" Down
through the years I have often heard
these words. Have I been lagging i
enthusiasm? they have spurred me
on. Have I been discouraged or
sometimes disgusted because of the
failure of someone to keep an ap-
pointnvemtt? At such times I have re-
inembered that he never failed me.
He was a Man of his word.
Aid because Ivy kept her word this
strew er, I ,have returned to' business
after a grand 'holiday and new I am
