OMI; men': are stain collectors someplay golf, ye :others go off P , g �, across the world in search of big game. Some hunt hidden treasures whether of an arehaealogical nature or the raw material as found in the Canadian mine. To some mien these things are merely ho'bbiea, to others a living. Some businesses and some occupations call fora breaking down of the east -iron partitions which we are apt to, erect between what the world is pleased to. call "a living" and a `hobby."" When we have` worked for some tune at earning a "living" we are apt to be suddenly aware that something of strength, something of alert- ness, some `virtue" has gone out of us. And in order to get bank, 'we set about recreating that Iost strength. By nature man is not a "special - /1st." Yet we all know, to our cost, the tendency of modern business -life is to make him so. The pressure of "business" of which weboast, the system,' the competition, of which we think so highly, as to be always in pursuit of it, is in reality a Juggernaut, a fierce feudal overlord of the worst type, since we are in bondage to it without knowing. it. We actually, take our chains lovingly to our hearts. Sometimes the awakening , comes in the form of a rude- shock. . A physician's dictum. But as often as not inuite another form. That subtle and yet tangible shock received when some younger, fresher mind, some "rnere''chit of a fellow" beats us at our own game. That is the awakening that hurts. Because we know that at the club, other men are saying "Fell down on the job." Whereas the truth is, "Stuck to his job, not wisely but toe well," would be so much nearer the truth. When civilization first began its pressure. When business first began to be so intense we felt we "could not leave it," the number of "break -downs" was terrific. But just about that time we began to see that to go down and out Was not playing the game, but surrendering, surrendering not altogether to pressure from without but to weakness within—a failure to stand-up against. "fearful odds"—unexpected lunges. And so we began to cast about for a means of strength—that iron. strength of nerve—which wouldstand up squarely under ordinary fire and rise like a well -trimmed ship to meet the waves of unexpected storms. This thing has been thought out and acted upon as a positive con- dition of modern life and business we may say within the past twenty years, and more firmly yet within the last ten years. •Men now go away and leave their Business at least once each year. And the wiser take a vacation not only'in summer but in winter as well. The more intense the business, the heavier the fire, the greater need for re-inforcing that strength which is burned out. The ;greater need for the gathering up of new ideas. So, when you see a business -man., a banker or railroad president, or a company official, or any other desk -ribbon jockey casting the fly on the French River, or exhibiting the skin of a Nipigon trout sketched on a board, pleased as any school boy who has eagried his bat out at cricket, or kicked a goal for the school team, you know him not so much for a great• sport as for a good business pian. The very fact that he belongs to those who get back to Nature wins your confidence.. You know him for a man who has the business situation of the day in hand_ One who is abreast—ahead even—of that tide which surges in the affairs pf men. ' "A live wire," competing youth, calls him.

M. S Henderson !Thursday, April ar4tla., e924 THB NEWSPAPERS (From the Renfrew Mercury) .The Sault Ste, Marie Star, in an article on newspaper mortality, points out that x3 daily newspapers have ceased publication since 'zgrg, It might have added that dearly,• 50 daily newspapers have gone out, of 'business in Canada since 5914, and 'that the mortality among weeklies has been even greater. It concludes: The cud is not yet, Only two ci- ties he Ontario with less than 50,000 population have two daily papers, Kingston and Belleville, and newspa- perdom looks for "developments. What is the reason of the high mor- tality? Tian exceedingly/high cost of operating. In the newspaper game the first cost is High, but the upkeep is what gets 'em, Probably no small city daily, in Ontario is .operating un- der $3300 expenses. a day, and few un- der [Moo a day. Froin that tip. Good judges look for an increase in oper- ating costs that will squeeze all dail- ies out of business, in cities of less than. 40,00o in five years, unless for- tunately, situated and exceptionally well managed. This mounting cost has become so . menacing . 'that the chain newspaper is almost bound to be the fashion sheetly, It seems the only solution insight for a Problem that looks insoluble any other way. It is the pace that kills. Mounting costs are what every newspaper is faced with to -day, and those that survive can only do so by securing increased revenue from some source. 'While advertising rates are. in many cases double those charged in pre-war days they have often fail- ed to keep pace with costs, and the result has been .:failure. The sudden ceasing of old established newspapers. has in some cases been tragic. What are some of the reasons? In 1913 newsprint could bc purchased for 1e and 2' cents per pound. To -day it is five and six. The best news ink was then 3. cents a polled. To -day it ranges from 15 to 20 cents. Weekly newspapers used to enjoy a postal rate of 1-4 of a cent a pound. To -day. they: pay 1;i cents a pound to send their papers outside the limited' free zone. The largest item,' however, in any weekly newspaper office is the wage bill. Printing is a craft where' only experienced, skilled labor is of any use, and despite the theories of those who believe all wages should be reduced, the wages of the craftsman' 'wr.•ll always be r;egeleted by two things., ltas skill and the law of supply and deineed. What is happening in the daily field: is also happening in the weekly,: field. Eight weeklies; went out of business • in 19.23 and the mortality in 192e will be equally.•as great, if trot:- greater., The country editor of to -day is just as delirious of being in the good - fellow class as the pian who ten or fifteen years ago was able to sell ad- verti$ing space for ro and i5 cents -an inch, and put this and that in the pa, per for nothing, to oblige some friend or acquaintance. But times have changed and the newspaper proprie- tor of to -day who fails to adjust his charges to meet what the Sault Star characterizes as "this mounting cost that has become so menacing," will' sooner or, later be in the hands of the sheriff. n Mons.
