At the left is a case Saturday. Promotion At a Texas Army camp, a long- eared, sad -eyed mule named Brad had done his work well and faithfully. Just before the outfit shipped for overseas, a long list of promotions for the enlisted personnel was placed on the bulletin board. Beneath it, the men tacked on a resolution: "Whereas the mule, Brad, has per- formed acts beyond the call of duty, and whereas he has gained the respect and admiration of this company, be it resolved that, henceforward, he shall be addressed by the more digni- fied name of Bradford, and that he is hereby promoted to the rank of horse."

Kalhfleisch And Son Lumber and Lumber Products, Building Supplies Mills and Yards at Goderich and Zurich - Head Office at Zurich PHONE 69 CANADIANS SMARTER THAN YANKS (The Printed Word) Reading of United States publica- tions does not suggest that that country is of a mind to permit other countries to ship it goods. The talk about freer international trade seems to mean that other countries are to admit U. S. goods, but that, in the main, other countries' goods, espec- ially manufactures, are not to be al- lowed into the U. S. A. general lowering of tariffs per- centagewise is not the answer, either. If, for instance, the U. 5, tariff on a commodity is 60 per cent. and ours is 30 per cent., a cut in the middle still leaves the U.S. inaccessible to our goods, while the 15 per cent. left for protection of Canadian products likely would be insufficient. Another factor in U.S. protection of their own market is the red tape. It often is a greater bar to freer trade than the customs duty itself. All in all, the prospect for Can- ada's getting , a real chance at the U.S. market is far from good. If Canada did get such a chance, many would guess this country would do well. Our manufacturers and other products are smarter than their con- freres in the U.S. They've had to be to survive in this country of difficult production and almost insuperable distribution problems. PAGE ELEVEN'' PATIENCE WINS A gentle old Quaker, driving along a road, encountered a young man driving from the opposite direction, There was not room enough for them to pass each other, unless one of them would back up his ear. "I think," called out the Quaker in a fatherly tone, "thou should make way for me, for I am older than thou art." Pll not budge an inch," the young man angrily replied. Then ne pulled out a newspaper and began to read as he sat still in his oar. The Quaker leaned back comfort- ably in his seat and let his eyeo wander contentedly over thepeaceful rural scene. "Friend," he called out at length, "when thou hast read that paper I should be glad if thou wouldat lend it me." The young man gave up the contest. 0 Temporary Apartments "You don't mean to say Yon are not raising any chickens or little pigs this year?" demanded the post- master. "Can't do it," replied the suburban farmer, "1 leased all my farm build- ings to city people." Cement.
