Mr. Norman Floody, of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce staff, is now enjoying
Ida holidays,
WANTED—To exchange on fartn, 50
acres preferred, a good comfortable dwell-
ing in Blyth, For particulars apply at
The Standard.
Friends will regret to know that Mrs. J
C. Hetfron had the misfortune to severely
burn her left hens. We trust that its re-
covery may be rapid.
Nearly $40,000 worth of property in
Middlesex county, mostly lots in the sub-
urbs of London, will be auctioned off ear-
ly in 1030 to pay arrears of taxes.
Mr. Fergus Kelly left on Saturday tor
Toronto where he will ,pend a few days
with friends before returning to his duties
a teacher in Donnegara Public School.
There is food for thought in the fact
that out of the fifteen times Canada has
won the wheat championship at the Inter-
national Exhibition, it has been won 12
times by Englishmen who came to the
Dominion without previous farming ex-
perience.
Last year the Woman's Christian Tem-
perance Unions of Ontario paid the salar-
ies of six Traveller's Aid workers in the
stations of the larger cities of the prov-
ince at a cost of $0000, by the collection
of coupons from Surprise Soap wrappers
and Gillett products, the latter company
allowing 4cts each from their baking pow-
der, lye, etc. rhe local Union hate ap-
pointed Mra. Fawcett and Mrs, Slater as
Coupon Secretaries and these ladieewould
be pleased to receive coupons from any
one, to help in financing these ladies in
doing such a splendid work in our city
stations.

The wonder to us is that the strictly
cash system has not become a general
thing with all business men long ago. Ml
merchants and business men are allowed
from 5 to 3d days to meet drafts on all
purchases. Farmers, generally speaking.
demand and get cash for their goods. on
delivery and in many cases on their farm.
Mechanics and laborers are usually paid
by the week. Therefore, why in all fair-
ness, man to man, should merchants and
business men be expected to allow credit.
without interest; and be obliged to resort
to force in many cases, to get their own.
and in doing so, shoot the profits on that
and many more sales. The big depart-
ment and chain stores get cosh. without
question; that is their method of doing
business. Frequently one hears of the
competition of the big store or big firm in
opposition to any of the small concerns
and at the same time the little fellows are
carrying thousands of dollars on their
books; with an overdraught, or paying 7
per cent. interest to carry on. Why be
the goat? Until the small business men
get together and set a hard and fast rule,
of cash and carry, they wit$ be in trouble,
and the situation will continue to be even
mare serious.
The Department of the Interior alarm-
ed by reports from agents in the Arctic
and sub'Aretie, isetudingwaysand means
of circumventing the threatened extinct.
inn of the Esquimo in Canada. Six thous.
and Esquimo residents in Canada lige
alorg the northern coast line of the Do-
minion of Canada, and according to in-
formation reaching the capital, the north-
word march of civilization imperils their
existence. The problem is difficult of sol-
ution for many ailments, considered triv-
ial among white people, prove fatal to the
Arctic natives. He turns, says a state.
silent issued by the Department, the ad-
vantage of trade with the white people in-
to an agency for his own destruction.
Despite his kindly disposition and good-
heartedness he is a great killer. With his
newly acquired ritie he shoots all the game
he can find and uitimatefy wilt transform:a
aturahy bountiful country into a land of
hunger. The Esquimo is a practical. a
chlourful asset to the Dominion. Stretch-
ed along the northern coast line he is in-
creasingly important as the guide and
agent of the white man in an area where
many a man cannot long exist on its own
resources. But civilization, it is said,
dots one of three things to the Esquimo;
it absorbs him, kills him, or drives him
farther into the North. There is
some confidence, however, that through
education he may be taught to overcome
the natural trait of wastetullness and to
combat those illnesses to which he is so
susceptible. If that can be achieved he
has a chance to survive. Unlike the In -
dean he has to battle to wage against the
fondness for liquor. He does not like it,
so that to that extent, the Government's
battle in his behalf is simplified.
