JUDGED BY
OUR STANDARDS
Already there have been many �.
columns written and printed about
Right Hon. Ramsay MacDonald,
whi died when starting an about tbe
first vacation he bad ever known
when he was not weighed with res-
ponsibility of office. The man's
accemplisilrnents were indeed greet,
hat -we have always regarded as
most unusual the fact that Ramsay
MacDonald ever .made his way to
the point wbere 11e 'headed three
British governments, If ever
there was an object lesson of what
a persou trona Bumble origin can
do ^1n democratic Britain: Mac-
Donald furnished that lesson,
Today if we were considering his
ease as a lad we would probably
refer to hint as underprivileged;
we might have been moved 1n see
that be had some better nothing
and more food because he sprang
f"om whet we call pav"_aty, 'Pile
house where he was born would
probably have been condemned by
our standards, .for ft was but a two -
room shack in the Scottish fishing
village of Lossiemouth, and probab-
ly our school laws might have step-
ped in .to protest when 11e quit
school at age of 12 and went to work
In the fields, When he was work-
ing in the fields it Is also likely our
wage laws 'would have dealt with
his earnings because they were so
small. Even on his third jolt he
' would not have measured up to
requirements because es a laborer
In a warehouse he earned but 12
shillings per week, and in our cur-
rency that would be but 93.
When he was 29 he had learned j
much and the public library had
been his university. He ran for
parliament in Southampton, but he '
received only 897 votes. He was 1
bitterly opposed to the South Afri-
can war and said so, after which be

Certs
OUR NURSES NOW
BARRED FROM THE STATES
Canadian nurses with an objec-
tive of working at tiled' protes'iion
in the 'United Saha will be disap.
pointed because of the special
regulation issued by the immigra-
tion department of that country to
prevent Canadian nurses from
crossing the border to accept work.
The new regulation has been put
into force because of complaints
from nurses) organizations In the
United States protesting that the in -
ere - ., Csneeten nurses was Un-
fair to the home talent.
In recent years, there has been
considerable demand for Canadian
nurses in the United States, Ap-
parently American hospitals found
•that Canadian nurses were capably
trained and were more efficient in
their work than the -average U. S.
nurse. The appeal to the Canadian
girls, was that they received higher
pay In the United States. The Can.
adian regulation pay for private pa-
tients Is said to be 94 a day while
the rate for similar work In the
United States is $7.
The matter of objection to Can-
adian nurses being given preference
in the States bas been under consid-
eration for a year and it is c'.lfficult
to see how the immigration depart-
ment could avoid a ban, especially
if there are sufficient nurses In the
United States to do the work, There
Is some uncertainty on this point,
it being held that a number of hos-
pitals final it difficult to get the
kind of nursing help they require"
It is the case that American hospl•
tut au(llor.'•ties have been wr'tini!
to C".nada to get graduate nurses.
Once, however, that nursing associ-
ations began complaining that Can.
adieu nurse wore getting the prof
erence, it was obvious that the gov-
ernment would have to art,
The situation is ttn'fm'utnate for
theee Canadian nurses who had op-
pollunity to obtain wink in the
1'uite:1 Sister, For a nunlbe- of
yes:• nursing work in Canada-. was
1101ftcd lu earn:' of depression and
there was an excess of graduates.
Candelas are batter nein fel' a
number of the smeller Tin,e:t rle
abandoned their tri,Sei114 .a rrr.,ls
Irrd .:11" nuauher of graduates was
1 ' tally reduced.
The ban is just one of these af-
fairs in the economic situation that
has came to puss and nothing caw
be done about It. The Canadian
nurses will have to be content with
the apportuirltles for careers w.11ch
their native land otfere.
Ort=A MAN AND��
HIS MONEY
Alitilur W. Outten, native of
Guelph and admittedly the leading
operator for years In the Chicago
Exchange, died s0100 time ago, It
was, known he had made millions
and probably loot some of them as
well, but at the time of his death
an aceeutltleg of ale affairs showed
$150,470 in cash, Total claims
against the estate, including federal
and state taxes, amounted to 92,300,-
000.
There has been a search carried
on industriously ever since the
death of Arthur Cuttsll to find out
what became of the wealth he wee
aup4osee to possess•. There have
been all sorts of rumors that he
bad concealed it in Europe and 111
Canada. There have been agents
from United Sthtes in Ontario and
their right of search was never
fully recognized, We learn the
seardh bas not been comple!.ed if
dile man left wealth in a concealed
state thel. some person must know
about it.
Perhaps it Is too much to suggest
that Arthur Outten lost his millions
as he had made them, But things
just as' strange as that have hap-
petecl, and are still happening.
Ready For Winter
(By A.R.it,)
¶ My Uncle Jed was in today, be
had a Wee time to stay, may even
spend the night; he's not too busy
on the farm, and things are tidy in
the barn, but winter's now in sght.
¶ It's always been the same with
Jed, lie Ikea to buy. Its stug ahead,
for he's afraid of chills; so when the
winter coenes along, Jed likes to
know his stock is' strong, in oint-
ment and in pills,
¶ He bas a list he writes in ink,
and marks down pills both black
and pink, and others green and
brown; then Jed goes shopping at
the Store, knows just what he is
hunting for, and checks each p111
box down,
11 Of salve and liniment and stuff,
my uncle never has enough, he
knows them all Iby name; and
when he gets stocked up agate, he's
ready for the winter then, he's al -
Ways been 'the same.
¶ Before Jed puts his victuals':
down, he 'takes a pill that's round
and brown, and sinks it in some
bread; and when he's done the
chores at night, before he turns to
douse the light, he takes a pill
that's red.
¶ I think Jed had sly lands of
, pills, and saves and ointment for
his is, perhaps the number's ten;
be likes to have his stock well filled,
before 1110 winter air gets eheled--

Plan Splendid Hunting Season
f' ,c �> Vii•....
Prospects for big -game hunting
are unusually bright in Can-
ada
anada this fall. Reports covering the
thousands of square miles of
wilderness accessible by, Canadian
Pacific Railway show a plentltude
of game and excellent eond111one
for hunting, Outfitters and guides
adross the country Akio report
more reservations for bunting
Paries, both from Canada. and
the t'United States, than they have
had for years.
Wild sections of Canada lying
practically in the back yard of
civilization have a wide variety of
big game in addition to many
types of game birds and smaller
animals. 'Nova Scotia has moose,
door and black bear; Now Bruns-
wick, doer and black bear; Que-
bec, moose, oarlbou, doer and black
bear; Ontario, moose, deer and
black bear; Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan, moose, deer and earl -
boa; Alberta and British Colum-
bia, mountain sheep and goats,
caribou, moose, 0111 (wapiti), deer,
and grizzly, brown shad Matic
bear; and the Velton Territory
and Alask1, practically the same
as British Columbia.
An indication of the increased
interest in hunting this year has
been given by the number of ap-
pitcations coming to the general
tourist offices in Windsor StattOu,
Montreal, for copies of the two
hunting booklets, "Open Seasons
for 'Bunting" and "Fiehing Wa-
tens and Game haunts,"

PAYING FOR NEWSPAPER
(Walkrton Braid and Timesl
Not often that newspaper; talk
about their own business, but then,
is no good reason why they sbeuld
not do so. Right nave the"s are
some of our readers who obje(:t to
paying for their paper in advance
They argue this way: "Send as the
Paper for a year and then 41':4 w111
pay ter it," So on that pol,tt we
will .talk; just a Plain stntemeat of
the position of the new: pa;:er.
A newspaper is in pretty much
the sante position as the farmer
with his cream cheque, IIe gets It
regularly and does not have to
watt until the end of the year. It
is well that such is the case, becuua-1
the farmer- has to live all through
year and ire needs ready casts, A
newspaper is something like that
To illlratrate: The Herald -Tinges
purchases many tons of uelvSpriut
during the year, and each time a
carload comes' the people wile sell
the paper want their 1110ney, '1'he
paper mills have to pay their wages,
and it seems reasonable enough that
1110 newspapers should give pay -
meat as s0nn as called on, '1'11ose
employed in the herald -Times office
cannot possibly wait a year for
t11er money, and it is right that
they should have it each week. A11
the supplies we use aro paid for
when purchased. The people who
furnish 11s with light mad power and
Water seem to feel the same about
it, lit iutervels they present bills.
We mention these things so readers
will understand the position of the
newspaper and the way In which it.
Is ('0uatantly paying opt money. All
these deanteuls for looney every tiny
and revery week explain the reason
Why the newspaper netts that it be
paid for,
