Of that collossal swindler Ivar Krueger it should be noted that he cultivated new 'territory, ignoring hick 'towns and the regular sucker list. . Lloyd George could have told J. II.

He negotiated with De Valera himself and in two hours they had come to the time of .Crom- well. 4-=1 Many attempts have been made during the past two and a half years by banking and ,ether financial houses to bolster the niarket, but with only momentary effect. The recent one by Morgan and Co. • and A others who joined to form a buying pool sent prices up for a day or two, but they slumped again. A, financial convulsion such as this is like an earthquake. While it is in progress it is futile for puny man to under- take stabilization. It will settle down of its own accord when it gets good and ready. cC:=Cp Politics is a strange game. Here we have Herbert I•roover who has had over three years penal servitude in the White House willing to accept, another heron.', We have heard Cana- dian cabinet ministers talk Of the worries and anxieties of official life and wish they were out of it, yet when the time comes they will de ev- erything they can to retain office. We have heard ex-eabinet ministers' exult in the carefree life of opposi- tion, glad to be rid of the exactions( of office, yet, 'When the time .conies, they will do all they can to -escape from this carefree state and to re- capture the harassments that attach to administrative place and power. The game consists in each party striving to gain or retain that which it does not want. What is it makes thein all that way. Well, there is the lust of bat, tle, the .desire for success, the pride of place, the lure of power, and, with leaders, the knowledge that failure carries with it penalties. That is one thing that political parties find it hard to forgive. In Hoover's case there is, of :course, an obliga- tion. The captain cannot desert the ship with . honor merely because the wind is blowing great guns and the seas are rolling mountains. Only the owners of the craft con relieve hint of that obligation by selecting another captain, but they seldom do that without giving a second chance if he is willing to accept it. it— It is clearly established that wol- ves, bears and other wild animals will not attack a man usless they are first attacked, Alas, the only wild animal that Alan need fear is man. ezezeice It is chard to work up any sym- pathy for the veterans who marchers to Washington to demand a two - billion dollar bonus. They hiked it, or rode the bumpers, and when in sufficient numbers commandeered freight cars. They had to be fed on their way by municipalities and pri- vate individuals already burdened by relief of their awn unemployed. Responsible officers of the Legion opposed the bonus and the pilgrim- age, but without avail. The conduct of the veterans will have one good effect—it will help keep the United States out of war, They can't stand it. Their veterans are too expensive. rriappe thugs I and the Countg 11slrict WINGHA]SI: A special meeting of the Winghain town council was held in the council chamber elle evening last week for the purpose of consider- ing the estimates of the different committees and striking' the tax rate.

WSNGIIA'M: The • members o Turnberry District L.O.L., held thei district service on Sunday afternoo M the town hall, Wingham, at whic was a Iarge gathering of mem bers •from the surrounding lodges besides the large number of friend who also attended the service.

Iii addition to these features, full attention has been given to the facil- ities for apart eif all kinds, which forms such an in -more -et part of the programme of a boys' camp. Lake Couchiching provides for swimming, diving and all rather terms of aquatic sport. There are three tennis - courts, surfaced with rock -chips, and adequate space' for softball and sim- ilar games. The feature of the camp is the quarter -mile cinder running track, where the boys who desire it, f I may receive instruction in all bran- t ' ches of track and field athletics. n None 'of these activities are compul- ch sory but it is expected that there will - be many of the campers wishing to , take full advantage of them. s The staff of the camp has been - carefully selected, so that the splen- - did facilities provided will be used to Bre the fullest extent. One of the lead- s Mg' boys' camp directors in Canada r - has been secured to supervise all i activities, and his staff of. camp p leaders are all experienced in this p type of work. In addition to these w PAGE 3 those boys wishing to invprove them- selves in this branch of sport. Swim•, minand] • g (loving instruction will also ,be in very capable hands.

' Speaking to the Lion's Chile . a:t Barrie, 311. W. A. Boys,. who is a C.N.R. Director,. .defended theiters o1 .$1,900,000 for "entertainment" in the accounts of the Canadian Na- tional Railways by explaining 'that it included the out-of-pocket expenees of tliousands'of employees who from day to day were away from home attending to the Company's business, Yet he anticipated that the item would drop to $1,200,000 for the current year. It; is easy to throw big figures out of perspective, and so create a false impression, and. there is no doubt that there was considerable mucic raking in con- nection with the Parliamentary ins quisition into the management of the Government railways,` much of it calculated to do more harm than good. Such "investigations" con- stantly repeated, would wreck any organization, and the men who are looking for political ammunition will have to be firmly repressed if public ownership ie to be successful, either at Ottawa or Toronto. On the other hand, with all due defer- ence to Mr. Boys, the com niittee's enquiries did show that extrava, gances and abuses had creptintothe management which required to be curbed, as his own intimation of the closer scanning of entertainment ex, penditures tacitly admits. We are still inclined to think that the best way to keep the expenditures of the National Railways within bounds would be to fix their capitalization at a reasonable sump the country as- uming the Iarge excess, and then equire the management to operate n such a manner as to make thein ay. Future bond issues should be ut out on the security of the rail- ays themselves, and not raised on wohld put an automatic curb on ex- travagance: As a corollary, the rail - 'ways would have, to be lest ire to charge freight mates which would melte their traffic pay. But this is surely more desirable' than having taxpayers the • make -up tCemk'inde47H deficits.

Beim ming with enthusiasm over., the newly opened fishing wat- ers'of Maligne Lake, the sportsman regaled the Minister with stories of three, fourand five poan.d speckled trout that rushed in sweeping arcs at the end of a taut line. 71:was not the fleet tune the Minister had heard of the fighting fish in the glacial lakes but it was• his. first talk with an angler who had comic -red the new fishing. Tales were told of strug- gles to the last long gasp in waters that were a perfect mirror for the perfect scenery that hemmed them in. "I'd certainly like to go up there," said Dr. Manion, and he meant ova ery word sof it. But the Minister's circumstances willed otherwise and he left for the east accompanied by Mrs. Manion and their son,, Robert after spending an enjoyable week: end in the park.

ANOTHER PULLMAN MYSTERY A perplexed porter was, explaining an unprecedented situation to the Pullman conductor, "But, captain, the stepladder's mis- sing; who took it? And why? And. how?'• "But, who would want to steal a Pullman ladder?" expostulated the conductor. "I don't know, but she's gone,' responded the porter. At this juncture a passenger oc- cupying an upper berth for the first time overheard the conversation parted the curtain and remarked genially: "Here, porter, you may use mine, I won't need it till morning!" —The Train Despatcher.

It is admitted that it is advantageous to you. and your customers for you to stock nationally- advertised products, but such products will sell faster if they are locally advertised, in this newspaper, in addition to being advertised in aeon -local publications. There is no good or sound reason why a na- tional advertiser should not do local advertising in this newspaper. You will be told, when you say to the representative of firms canvassing you to stock and push his firan's product, "011, we could never afford to do local advertising."
