BRUSSELS - .— CANADA CANADIAN RED CROSS The Canadian Red Cross Society and the religious bodies of Cacaaa are making a united appeal for funds to be expended for relief for the suffering ;n China. Both Japan and China wets tendered medical and relief asoist'Ince by the Interna. Hanel Red Cross representing all national societies. Japan declined but China accepted with a gratitude that reflects her terrible need. This Is a hurried appeal, hence the re- quest that it be acted upon at ante —within a month at the most. Do- nations made payable to the 'Pled- Cross Chinese Relief Fund may be deposited at ary local bank or Red Cross b'rancb. The extent and severity of the suffering has seldom, 11 ever, found equal in the history of nations. The call is as earueet appeal to Canada's humauitarrsm, It should meet with a warm res- ponse. DO YOU BORROW YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PAPER? One day a stoke man sent cls son ever to the neighbor's t ouse to borrow the paper, and while the son was,on lois way he ran into a swarm of bees. In a few minutes his face looked like a simmer squash. Hearing the agonized cries of his son, the father ran to bis 'assistance, and In o doing ran Into a barbed wire fence cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruined au $6 pair of pants, The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence anti wandered off into the corn field where she ate so much green corn that she died the next morning. Hearing the prayer- ful words of the husband the farm- er's wife ran cul of the house, up- setttinga four -gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens, cud drown- ing the whole litter. The woman slipped on the cream and fell down on the porch stops, breaking her leg and a $24.60 set of false teeth she had bought from a mail order house, The baby, left alone, crawled through the cretin and just about ruined some rugs in the living room, Duping the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man an] took the family savings with her.

And, by present appear- ances, it is going to cost them a lot more before spring is with us again. There was a. time, and not so many years ago either, when snow was lust snow. Something to be taken as a matter of course. It it was a hard winter, with storms and a superabundance of snow, it WEIS not looked upon es our fault, if the roads got blocked, or it they stayed blocked. In those day, we simple dog our- selves its and waited for a January thaw or spring to loosen up trans• portation again, so that contact and business could be resumed once more, and the world go on as usual. We didn't like it, of course. Bust• ness didn't like it. But what coati either do about it? That was one attitude in other days, so we didn't do anything. But that is not our attitude to -day. Far from it, Snow or no snow; storms or no storms, our roads and 1'gh. ways must be laept open. And kept open mot only for cutters awl sleighs, but for eats and trucks too, And that is where the menet" conies in, It rest's money to keep the roads and highways open during a winter like the present one we are having. It ta.kcs reel money to keep up a !wanly -tour tont Jolly service with plows and men. Even with a twenty-four hour service, DO YOU KNO? Mr. Merchant You know thoroughly well that you have poyer in your store to influence the decision of your customers in regard to what they buy from you. Your customers rely on you to give them products which in use .or consumption, will give them complete satisfaction. If it is right to use big dailies and natonally.circulated magazines then, by the same token, it is right to use local Weekly Newspaper! I AM THE MASTER SALESMAN OF TIIiS COMMUNITY • AND MY NAME IS �.I7VERTI5E the weather bee been ahead of the plows .aimoat since before C'tulet- math, And the olid le net yet, Far from lt, A good six Melted of snow fell on the level over the week -end of Jan. 16th. And the winds blew. Roads and highways titch were open for' traffic aneater• day, were closed on Monday. And tits travelling public doesn't like it, Won't stand for it, in fast, And as the whole world is Pretty much on wheels these days, the travelling public spells ,public aplrr• fon, and pubic opinion wants the reads not only opened, but kept open and fa'ee'from snow, All of which means that county commits and the Provincial Highways De- partment will ]cavo to bow to public opinion and keep the roads open, To do that, of course, It means that these governing bodies will have to provide more and better plows, larger and better equipment and more men le do this work, And, because this equipment is not avail- able, Nhe tn'avelling public thinita some one has fallen down on the ' job. Has even sent deputations down to Toronto to tell the Govern• meat so, The general public, hawever seems to have lost track of the fact that as far as the county roads are concerned there never has been anything like a sufficient equip. went available to keep the roads open even in a moderate winter, Has never had even a fraction of the necessary snow -fence available, not to mention plows. The reason for that is, of course, the cost. County councils have a greater fear of raising the tax rate, than they have of the devil, The The theory ell economy 1s their re- ligion, and they practise It in some strange ways solnetimes, But `they will have to get over that as well as some other things, if they hope to maintain their place In the sun. Have to learn tha: public opinion does not distinguish between summer and winter roads, That roads are just roads, but very important things to them, and so must be avaibthle at any time of the year. To learn that hereafter, snots will be a very necessary item of expenditure, the same as g,-avel and crusher stone, when we get it In quantities ass we did this wilier, —Huron-Exp'rsi tor.
