If you COULD (although, OP COURSE, you can't) stop every man you meet on the streets asd ask: "Do you want to buy a pair of shoes?" (Or any other kind of goods) You might find half a'dozen who would say "Yes." Perhaps not one of .these; however, would want to buy the article you want to sell. If your advertisement, however, were to be printed in these columns this week, it would "stop" EVERY MAN IN TOWN WHO WANTS TOBUY SHOES, OR CLOTHES, OR ANY OTHER ARTICLE���������and it wouldn't "stop" anyone who didn't want to buy- That's the beauty of the advertising way of finding a buyer. The ad. finds the buyer through the simple process of. being easily and readily found BY the buyer - And if, among the prospective buyers of .goods, there is one to whom your goods would be a bargain, and your ad. is a convincing one, you'll sell what you want to sell.

The average individual 'is perplexed because, the Canadian dollar does not buy .as much as it did years ago, nor does it buy now as much as'it did one year ago.. In 1899 the goods then purchasable by one dollar, today will cost $1.49. A year ago they cost $1.35. A record of prices kept officially enables The Financial Post to determine with accuracy the purchasing power of the dollar.. In July, 1914, the purchasing power had been reduced by 25.7 per cent, and in October 1915,'by 23.73 per cent, as compared with the prices in 18S9, so that at the dates mentioned the equivalent value of- one dollar in goods was 74 cents and 67 cents'respectively. For the same reason that the baker now gives less daily bread for a dollar, the investor wants more for lending a dollar. This is shown by the fact that the Dominion and provincial governments and other borrowers have had''to pay more for loans in "the last few years than they had around 1909. ' On the basis of the present purchasing pow er of the Canadian dollar, an investor who bought a 30-year bond in 1899, making a similar purchase today would expect something- like the following increase in the rate of interest: 4 per cent in 1SS9 should expect 5.95 per cent now. 5 per cent in 1899 should expect-7.44 per cent now. ' , :"6 per cent in 1899 should expect 8.93 per cent now The following table,illustrates some fluctuations in the investment value of the Canadian dollar between 1905, 1910, 1914,and October 1915, oil the basis of the average wholesale price of commodities, as ascertained by the department of labor: 4 per cent in 1905 equivalent to 5.20 per cent now. 5 per cent in 1905 equivalent to 6.50 per cent now. 6 per cent in 1905 equivalent to 7.80 per cent now. 6 per cent in 1905 equivalent to 7.80 per cent now. 4 per cent in 1910 equivalent to 4.78 per cent now. 5 per cent in 1910 equivalent to 5.98 per cent now. 6 per cent in 1910 equivalent to.7.17 per cent now. 4 per cent in 1914 equivalent to 4.42 per cent now. 5 per cent in 1914 equivalent to 5.53 per cent now. 6 per cent, in 1914 equivalent to 6.63 per cent now. This is another illustration that gold is not wealth in itself but simply a commodity like wheat or coal and derives its value chiefly because it is a good means of exchange of their commodities, fairly easy to handle, and hard to get, except by some such exchange. Cap ital is symbolized by gold, and demands its wages equally with labor���������an increase in time of stress, a decrease when times are slack.��������� The Financial Post. "London will gain a great orator and'British Columbia will lose one by the advent of ���������Dewdney Dick,' as Sir Richard McBride is called by his friends in British Columbia, He is coining to represent the province of which he lias been Premier for twelve years. He might,have' been Prime Minister of the Dominion, but he has always had an eye on Imperial politics, so perhaps the Mother of Parliaments will see him one day."���������Mirror. Macdonald, the Liberal candidate of,Vancouver may be elected to represent Vancouver in the provincial house���������defeating Tisdall in the bye-election. It is possible if the two- run. But it is'said that J.oe. Martin and L. D. Taylor want to again test the public feeling in the bye-election���������got so used to running that -they cannot resist the temptatin when oportunity affords itself. But should Macdonald be elected, he will have a great time boosting for his leader, Mr. Brewster; or will he< do as Brewster did usurp the leadership for himself? He would be foolish if he did not. Is that not how Brewster got it? He would be a real live linguist, and if talking was o,f any avail' he sure would talk the whole Liberal party into thinking he was the right man in the right place. Again comes up the subject of the Canadian enlisting. A Toronto man says he is ashamed to be a Canadian as they are not coming to the front to fight for their country as quickly as the English in Canada are. It is different in British Colubia, with a population of about equal British and Canadian,born, the recruiting looms up about equal for both. Things are never right in Toronto anyhow. They are always quibbling or boasting. Germans imagine they will induce neutrals to believe that all trade should continue in. spite of the existence of a state of war. The immediate effect of any such international arrangement as this would be to paralyze forever the power of the Maratime nations. Sea- pwer is exerted to embarass the enemy's trade and to compel economic difficulties which in time will shatter the morale of a people. If Great Britain were mad enough to give up in the Council Chamber what three generations of British sailors have fought to gain and keep the end of the Empire would be in sight. German opinions on "Freedom of the Seas" are no more dependable than German opinions on the origin of the war, or the Prussian ancestry of Shakespeare.���������Ex. It is time now for the fruit grower to be planning for the next summer disposal, of his fruit. What about thorough organization for the year? Will it be shipping in car load lots or the individual marketing of the fruit at the mercy of the middleman? THE MATSQUI COUNCIL (Continued from Page One) 1-4 of Sec. 25 Tp. 13 to C. Rum- mel.
