These things passed next step. He proposes to apply this away with my milk tooth, but they linger in the minds of some states- men. The bag of gold may have passed out of the mind of Arthur Meighen; the salt on the bird's 'tail may no longer interest him, but he is fresh from a trip to the. Maritimes where he has been busying himself explaining his ,ideas on perpetual motion, Tipping Yourself Briefly' Mr. Meighen's ideas are these:—The protective tariff of which he is so able a defender, Is not doing the people of the end provinces of the Dominion, any good. According to this gentleman high protection works well in a round country, but it is no good in a long one.

Hut turn agailt to the Maritime Provinces of Canada. They jut out into the Atlantic like the British Isles from tike• coat of Europe. Nature intended these provinces to be great trading and manufacturing centres. As someone said of England: "God and the ocean And Some guiding, star In high cabal, Have made USwhat we are," The Maritimes, like England. have the natural resnurc•es. Unlike Eng- land, they have refused to take ad- vantage of the ocean. The 0re011 bring., the world to the doors of the Maritimes. It costs less to take grairft trent Canada to Europe than to mos,: it from London to Southampton when it gets these. It is :levees to the Sea—access to the world markets that will yet make, the Maritimes. The people of these provinces aro far from lacking in genius and abil- itymanshsp. With the., problem be- fore them of broadening their mar- kets and going out atter the trade of the world they are little likely to hang on to the boot strap policy of Mr. Meighen. Shrewd men will want to count the cost. They will be unwilling to accept Mt. Meighen's. vague intimations of a new -Heaven built up by taking money out of one pocket and putting it in another -- the cost is too heavy, the danger too great. idea to coal. He wants to bring the coal from Nova Scotia and Alberta to Ontario. We import approximate- ly 16,000,000 tons of coal per an- num, reduction of approximately 4,- 000,000 since 1921, due' to increased use of hydro -electric power. At the present time this coal -comes ',mainly from the U. S. with about 750,000 tons from Great Britain, It is true that we could use Canadian Boal if we are willing to pay the price -- there is no doubt of that. There are two ways of doing it—one is by put- ting a stiff duty on coal, the other by bonusing the railways to carry, the coal at a very low price, If the duty is put up Ontario will have to foot the bill. That would be the best way is good for the goose is not ',ores- of doing it, for it would give to this sarily highly advantageous for the great province an intimate knowledge gander. We have it on poetical auth- of the workings of a, high tariff. Mr, ority: Meighen's mind seelns to run along "That Jack Sprott could eat no fat the line of bonusing the railways to His sife could eat no lean" carry the coal at a very low rate. so though these twain were one, No figures of costs have been given, made so by priest or minister, their But if coal to supply the needs if the digestive systems failed to coalesce, hence the divergence of appetites. Even so, according to Mr. Meighen, Is it with the Maritimes. They are, in his opinion, not benefitted by high tariff, so he proposes to take away the "benefit" high tariff given tete Central Provinces not- by lowering the tariff, but by takig out of them the "benefits" received, .tend giving it back to the Maritimes in a bonus on freights. It Is To Laugh Made as a proposition by one in a less prominent position than Mr, Meighen, this idea would be laughed out of court, But Arthur Meighen Will argue it with all seriousness. His subtle algebraical and clialetical mind will be turned loose upon the scheme. He will argue it with all the fervor of the neophyte of a new, religion, At the same tune if call- ed upon to carry it out, he would deny the whole proposition as Clever - 1y as last sesison he denied the brick tariff which formed an integral part of his previous polttieal campaign, took Apeiti -.a gain from it—its production is eget- Let us analyze tine propulsion.

Mr. Duncan is well supplied with descendants to carry on thename, as of -a family of eleven there are nue living -7 sons and 2 daughters. There are 45 grandchildren, and 29 great-grandchildren, 74 descendants in all. His first wife died in 1909• The present Mrs. Duncan was form- erly' Mies Margaret McNeil of Grey Township. Mr. Duncan's many friends in their felicitous congratulations wished hint many happy returns of the clay, a wish which seems quite possible of fulfillment in this day when people are young at three -score and ten mile- stones, when a man's earthly pilgrim- age is supposed to end. Of the early settlers of the 12th concession of Mina Township there' remain only three—Mr. Duncan, who on Monday celebrated his ninety-second birth- day; Mrs, Vallence, a moat interest- ing and respected resident of Atwood who in six months' time will see her 92nd birthday, and Mrs. John Litl'c, now living in Torrence, B.C., who is in her 89th year, Defective The Buick Motor Co, recently conducted ail •uvesti- gatiot atnd diecovcrcd that 50'4., of tleir• 3000 elnpiny,•.•+ had , defective vision..

It is dealt with in the form of a "Bill," which re- ceives as careful and fair eonsider anon as any measure put before the British House of Commons'. The General Eleatic Company, which employs 20,000 men at its great Shenectady works, and many thousands more in other parte of the United States, b,lieves in prollt-shar- ing and thrift schemes, which are open to all grades of workers. General Motors Corporation, m'hleln manufactures various types of auto- mobiles, likewise maintains a share - buying and thrift plan for its 99,000 employes, who are concentrated to sixty-five plants throughout America, eogty-eight cte them in Detroit. This city is full of workmen's tonics, burin out of profits accruing from the share - in -the -company -scheme, which sup- plements the high wages paid for all classes of skilled and unskilled labor. British working hien have never looked kindly upon such schemes. Their point of view was expressed by Mr. A. Browning, of the North Brit- ish Locomotive Co., Glasgow, a mem- ber of the London Dally Mail's mis- sion to the United fates, the final gtnferene'e •bi4(''3)4)i MIA mission and the heads of imnortant industrial concerns in Nev York eeezeeesee Mr, Gerard Swope, president of the board of the General Eleetrfe 00„ waited whether, from the standpoint of the wage-earner, the share -buying system was desirable, Mr. Browning replied: - - The mentality of the British work - Or is such that if the employer comes along with such a scheme, the first question the worker asks Is: 'What is the employer going to get out of It?' " There is no such snspiciou in the minds of working men in the United States. British -born craftsmen who are prospering there admit that dis- trust of "the boss" has vanished since they took root on this aide of the Atlantic. Profit-sharing is merely an- other expression of the mutual trust and good wilt that exist between em- ployer and employe in American mills and factories, The firms that were pioneers in profit-sharing entered the new field with caution and some doubt of its success. The venture has amply re- paid -them, It has repaid the workers by breaking down the barriers be- tween Capital and Labor. You can see the proof in their comfortable, almost luxurious hones, equipped with hardwood floors, bathrooms and telephones, that have been paid for out of such schemes, and with the benevolent assistance of employers. British industry will turn the cor- ner when it learns the lessen taught by its rivals in the United States: that Capital and Labor roust work together instead of against each oth- er, and that any scheme whlelt gives a man direct and permanent interest in his firm, beyond a daily wage, is bound 10 react favorably on both.
