a native of Tipperary, Ireland.
The friends of Mrs. J. Cuninghame
will be pleased to know that she is
recovering from her recent serious
illness.
Important iahange--.We have be-
lieved for a long time that the cash
system in business is by all odds the
best way of running business, and
by degrees merchants are falling in
line by adopting it. Several of our
business men who have adopted it,
state that under no circumstances
would they go pack to the old credit
system as the cash system is better
for buyer and seller. The latest re -
emits to the system are Gilroy and
Wiseman who will begin the system
on Sept. 2nd.

unwilling to work.
Farm labor is not easy, nor does
it pay high wages. But it is honest
work and is available,., .Tovell the
most unskilled can learn it. Our
pioneer history •is evidence of that
fact, and even if the:able unemploy-
ed single men do not choose to make'
of it their life work, it will provide
a living and a ,good living until other
work is available.
Premier Hepburn is' light. No
work, no relief. We believe too, that
there is little, if any truth, in the
statements that are being broadcast
from the larger centres: that unem-
ployed singlemen are justified in
their refusal to accept farm work be
eause farmers are taking advantage
of the unemployed situation, and ex-
ploiting such labor.
If a 'man is willing, no matter how
unexperienced he may be, be will
have little trouble with the: farmer.
The wages, in comparison with other
labor, may be small, but it should not
be forgotten that the returns the far-
mer receives for unskilled labor
are, in .many eases, even •smaller,
while good board and good lodging
are thrown in.--iSeatforth Expositor.
THE TINKERR
Dictionaries define a tinker as a
mender of household utensils, one
who goes from door to door with
tools and appliances for mending.
One authority adds that tinkers have
usually been regarded as the lowest
order of craftsmen.
Almost all men tinker with some-
thing these days, and some find their
greatest recreation in tinkering.
There are men who buy old watches,
automobiles, motor cycles, etc. for
the joy of taking them apart in short
tinkering. An interest in automo-
biles and gasoline launches is al-
most a career in itself—and a sot 'of
culture.
Should anyone insinuate that tin-
kering is a waste of time there would
be an army of handy men ready to
rise in defence of the tinker,
Had it not been for the tinker,
most inventions would still be ideas
awaiting some tinkering genius to
put it into practical use. A great
deal of industrial progress can be
credited to the ability of brilliant
men, who, not content with things
as they were tinkered with first one
combination and then another until
they had something new; something
that had a profound influence on the
lives of others.
'Blessed is the wife of a tinkert
Things get done in and about her
home without the costly aid of car-
penters, painters, plumbers and el-
ectricians.

PERSONALS IN PAPERS
Sometimes weekly newspapers are
criticized for publishing the columns
of personals that appear each week,
saying they are silly and that they
are not read, These personals are
traditional with the country newspa-
per and few publishers have had the
nerve to throw them out, even if they
wanted to, Other editors have re-
marked to The Banner about the per-
sonals appearing in these columns,
asking how it was done, as they
would like to have a large number of
these items. The personal column is
read and read thoroughly by many,
It is a noteworthy fact that one of
the most interesting developments in
modern journalism are the columns
conducted WI brilliant metropolitan
newspaper men, full of personal in-
terest, even very personal mention.

=SNAPSPOT CUIL
Prove Your Angling Ability
TODAY'S Snapshot Guild is direct-
ed to all wives, husbands, daugh-
ters and sons who follow the great
. outdoor sport of fishing. What has
fishing to do with amateur photog-
raphy? Just this. The Chicago Izaak
Walton League, according to news
dispatches, has included in its cur-
riculum, in the fishing school con-
ducted in Wisconsin, a "course of
truthfulness." War has been de-
clared against the angler who per-
sists in telling about the "big one
that got away." The law of the Izaak
Walton League of Chicago regarding
this phase of the art of fishing is
very brief and to the point. Here it
Is. "Get your fish, take his picture or
keep quiet."
No one in -particular is being ac-
cused of telling little white lies
about the "whopper" that got away
but Chicago's Izaak Walton League
law should be recognized through-
out the world. The old adage about
the cake might be revised to—"You
can have your fish and eat it too"
for although the fish may end its
days in frying pan or broiler, a
picture of it will live forever.
There is one thing to remember
in taking snapshots on fishing trips.
Just as you use different kinds of
bait for catching various species of
fish so you must vary your methods
of taking snapshots under different
lighting conditions.
Suppose, for instance, that you are
deep sea fishing or out in the middle
of a lake under the glare of a mid-
July sun. One of your party gets that
long -hoped-for jerk on his line. If
you have one of the average folding
cameras it should be ready for ac-
tion with the diaphragm opening set
at 1.11 and the shutter speed set at
1/100 of a second. This setting of the,
diaphragm and shutter will servo.

pulls the fish out of the water and
into the boat.
If you have a box type camera use
the second stop opening. In snap-
ping the picture with this type of'
camera you will get the best results
if you wait until the fish is safely in
the boat and then snap the picture
after the catch and when your sub -
Jest is not in motion.
Let me caution you, however,
against a common error, Don't for-

under such conditions requires a dif-
ferent technic. Unless you have a
camera with an /.0.3 lens or faster
you had better forget about fast ac-
tion pictures and confine your ef-
forts to taking your subjects when
not in rapid motion.
If you have a box type camera you
should open it to a large stop and
