A woman tells fairy tales to her children, and a man tells them to his wife 5 Canadian and American Tariffs [This is the second of isvoaiticltBOu the Tariff Question written Jor TbeSuu by D.J. Sullivan.] The claim that tbe Canadisn tar ff should be raised to tbe level of that of tbe United States is based primarily on the economic,fallacy that a tax on imports necessarily restricts importations, and tbt.reby protect t e markets. In the second plnce, tbis claim ia baaed od the delusion tbat it is in the interests of tbis country to threaten the prosperity of its basic industries in order to foster those of a contrary character; because we hnve adopted this policy. Canada's prosperity depends largely od its basic indus ries,and it is essentially ao exporting country, and to impose a high tariff whicb bears heavily od those industries would be suicidal. A high tariff as ao economic or moral pitociple can not be defended, for it is eitber a form of legalized extortion or a farce. A tax oo imports i* cilled a tariff, duty, etc., and the effect of this tax ie determined by the character of the articles upon whicb it is placed This tux wheo levied upon articles imported for re-sale establishes a price level, which is at least equal to their declared value (competitive price) witb the tax added, The price level tbus established for imported articles, determines tbe prices of home products ot like quality, in oases wherein competition io prices may be eliminated, and wben p.o. ductioo for export purposes is oot an essential factor; such as those of the secondary iodustriee—finished products. With tbe unfinished products of the forests, fisheries, metals liferous mine*, and to a great extent, farms, a tax od such imports would oot increase tbe price of tbe home products, for in maoy oases selling prioes are regulated by the export prices, aod wheo competition oao Dot be eliminated, supply and dsmand govern prices. \ tax od imports (tariff) does not of itself restrict importations nor protect tbe markets, ae i* preached, fir a protective tariff is a myth. It is simply a price increasing factor, aod if effective mav ha collected froq* tbe users of tbe class of articles upon wbicb it is placed, and when it can not b* thus collected,it ie a farce,and usually a political sop. Protection of tbe home market is affected, wheo the prices of the bome products are maintained at a lower level than those of the imported artiscles, It is this economic principle tbal restrictsimportations, aod not a tax on imports (tariff), for it may be made effective wbetb. er-imports are taxed or not. When tbe prices of the horae products are kept at the eame level as those of similar imported articles the taxing of imports (tariff) is simply a bonus iog system, wbereio tbe rigbt to collect this tax is exercised by pri vate persons; and tbe import duty which in sua'* cas-s is invariably 78 54 14—Mo-day 74 44 15—Tuesday 77 43 16—Wednesday .... 76 46 17—Thursday 75 46 18—Frida.y 67 42 19—Saturday 66 52 •20—Sundav 70 51 21—Monday 77 52 22—Tnesday 76 51 23—Wednesday .... 88 60 24—Thursday 95 54 Inches Rainfall 1.27 Life is so sbmt, men are justified in devoting much of it to seeking wbat there is beyond. Silence is indeed golded to those who are paid to keep quiet. The grave old mountains that surround tho beautiful llttlo Ptarmigan valley near Luko Louise will hoar and soo things tbls summer that will remind tliem of tho good old days when Indian hunters and warriors made the hills echo with their shouts when they danced ahout their great camptlros; for this lovely spot has been chosen by tho Order of Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies to be the place Whore they will hold their annual Pow-Wow on August 1, following the official trail rides. Many parties have camped in ptarmigan valley, but never such a one as there will be this summer when trail riders gather from all over tho world to attend their grent feast. Then tho deep silence of mountain and lake will be broken for ono day when the hoof-beats or several hundred ponies sound through the valley. From all Indications the Pow-Wow of 1926 will be bigger and merrier thon those of previous years. Al noon on August 1, two parties of troll riders will meet at the camp ln the valley, pitch their tents, and ■when night falls, light a great fire around which the official ceremony will be beld, and join ln singing trail riders songs. There will bo two official trail rides this summer, both a five-day ride and a three-day ride. Members going on the longer ride are meeting at Lake Louise, so famous for it- beauty and Its magnificent Canadian Pacific Chateau, on July 29, and fol- towlnii Iha trail up tba Bow Valley to Mosquito Creek, making a side Jrlp to Dow Pass, then up over Molar Pass, and up the little Pipestone to Bakor Lake, so by Ptarmigan Lake to Ptarmigan Valley. They plan to make 20 miles a day for tho first three, 16 miles on the fourth day, and 9 miles on the fifth. Those taking the three-day ride will start from tho Banff-Lake Louise road and follow the trail past Johnstone Creek to Baker Creek and Baker Lake, and so to Ptarmigan Valley. This party Will travel more leisurely, making about 14 miles a day for the first two tind nine miles on the third day. After the Pow-Wow all the trail riders Svill return to Lake Louise by Corral Creek. The Order of the Trail Tiideri* Is jiUjt three summers old this year, and already has a member-hip of iibout f|00, more than 100 of 'whieh have enamel buttons showing that they have travelled more than 2.500 miles. The rest have button*, too, differ ent kinds, according to the distance they have travelled: a bronze button for 60 mllest, a silver ono for 100 miles, a gold ono for 500 miles, and a gold and enamel ono for 1,000 miles. Its alms aro chiefly to encourage horseback travel through tho Rockies, to promote the breeding of suitable saddle horses for high altitudes, to keep up old trails and build new, to protect the forests and encourage the love of outdoor life and tho study and conservation of wild life, to prepare and circulate maps of existing and proposed trails, and help maintain thc observance of close and open seasons for fish and game. The Order has recruited Its members from all classes, all ages and all parts of the world. Ixist year's Pow-Wow was attended by artists, writers. European nobility, Indian chiefs nud American millionaires. Leading the ride was a lady of seventy, while a lad ot twelve brought lip tho rear.

Brown Creek S*ln;26 Notes • Notions • Notables A number of citizens have lately expressed themselves ns being in favor of the city furnishing wuter to consumers practically free at periods of yaar when the corporation does not have to pay for power for pumping pur poses. But there are other citizens who do not agree with this view. There are taxpryers in the city who have been unable to secure the city water service. Their taxes assisted in installing the gravity system, aud to supply water now to cousumers below pumping cost would be a discrimiuation against these taxpayers. If the city makes a larger profit m,w on its water rates than heretofore, all the citizens should share in the benefiis of that profit by securing a lower property tax levy or by having tho money applied to reducing the indebtedness of the city. Days when great herds of buffalo halted trains crossing the western plains found an echo when a herd of 500 deer held up a train near Hot Sulphur Springs, Col. Heavy snow had driven the deer from the high ranges and they settled down on the tracks. The train crew was forced to stop the train and chase the animals off the roadbed. The canners say that they bave hardly be gun dipping out of old Father Neptune's abundance, and that as soon as the people indicate a desire for additional sea foods in ready-to-serve form they will begin packing bluefish, halibut, bonito, eels and other deep sea delicacies. As a matter of fact, such an unusual thing as whale is being canned now, and is proving an excellent meat substitute. It is interesting to note that the whale is really not a fish, but an ocean mammal. When Vienna was Vindobona the Danube was the northern frontier of the Roman em pire. Roman legions stood guard from Vien. na to Budapest. Large towns marked the camps of the legions. Traces of both are often seen now— aths, mosaic floors, stone sarcophagi, pieces of sculpture and amphitheaters Also coins and metal theater tickets are found Recently m the locality of Wallern, in Bur genland, in Austria, a workman while digging a ditch found a gray earthenware jug When he removed the cover he was astonished to find the jug half full of Roman silver coins. They date from the second century. The find goes to the Burgenland, provincial museum in Eisenstadt. Kerosene serves well to clean tbi sewing machine bearings when they are clngged and dirty. Ii is used by putting it into oil holes and running the machine for a few minutes. Then, since kerosene is really a cleanser but not a lubricant, great care must be used to get it all out by finishing with machine oil. A sailor with six dollars in his pocket fought two armed hold-up men rather thau give it up. One broke his nose wit a revolver butt. But the sailor retained his six dollars. Was his action a display of courage or foolhardness? Is six dollars worth the risk of your life? He lor.k that risk. The most interesting point i-j unknown. What did he do with the six dollars after be .vaved it at this risk? If we knew that we might answer the questions. All dislike to be cheated. We feel the loss when we are robbed. But many willing to risk their lives t save six dollars, or less by robbery,will turn right around and so waste it that they might better have been robbed of it. band of hoboes who preyed on men who worked in the harvest fields of the Middle West and the Northwest years ugo—a band whose members hailed their prospective victims with "Hi, Juck, what time is it?" when the workers with their pockets lined with gold came out of the harvest fields and headed for the cities. The salutation was followed by a blow on the head, after-whtch the harvester was relieved of his gold. Railroad detectiAes, engaged to rid the wheat belt of these bandits, named tlu'm hijackers to distinguish them from the gangs whicli made a busihess of rub bii g freight cars, train robbers, and ordinary hoboes. The word hijack is to be found in Standard nictionary, defined as (U. S slang): To rob by irickery or violence, especially to rob a bootlegger of his illegal wares. Many surpriaing facts are encountered by the person wbo beeomes iuterested in animal life. One of the hardest things to believe is that the sponge you use daily was o ice an animal aud not a vegetable growth of the ocean. Sponges live their own 1 ves and eat their own food as other animals, says Lester Enbanks in Our Dumb Animals. The separa- ate existence of a sponge begigs with the bieaking away from the parent of a tiny par tide. The latter, after being whirled about fur a time by the tides and current, eventually attaches itself to a piece of rock, and from that. home it seeks its own livelihood. The food of infant sponges consists of yelk cells, which contain a form of nourishment, Later, as ihe sponge grows, it requires something moro solid, and this is brought by the current's, which sweep into a bag, half mouth, half stomach, minute particles of the new food. PREFERS TO BE DICTATOR Marshal I'iisudskl, who led the successful revolt in Poland and refused the Presidency because, under the constitution, it would confer very limited power upon him, is now virtually dictator of the country, but lives in constant dread of assassination.

The operating plants in these industries in 1925 nepreeent an Invested capital of 169 million dollara. Above Is photograph of tree designated by the British Government a* "Tree ot Knowles! ge." An apple from the Garden of Eden arrived in Montreal this week aboard the Canadian Pacific steamship Melita. With it came the story of history repeated after six thousand yeare and a reprieve for sundiw passengers who had been threatened with irons, trial in the admiralty courte and what not. Tbe apple came to Montreal with Robert J. Casey who was a passenger aboard the "Melita." Mr. Casey is a well-known member of the staff of the Chicago News and among the books of his authorship are "The Land of Haunted Castles" and "The Lost Kingdom of Bur- Saudy." He was on the way home from a trip through vria to Damascus and Bagdad taken for the purpose of gathering material for another book. Mr. Casey said that the apple was one of a pair brought from Quernahthetraditional site ofthe Garden of Paradise at the junction of the Tigris and Eupbrt*.'.** rivers in Mesopotamia. It was placed in a stateroom with Babylonian bricks and other relics from the -mole of the human race and did not figure in the log of the "Melita" until the ship had been four days out of Cherbourg. Then it disappeared. The owner complained to Commander Clew*. "I regret this unfortunate incident," said the Captain, "But of course you must have read the notice on the card riven you as you came aboard: The company will not Be responsible for apples and other valuable» u-Ucss they are deposited with tho purser. As it stands at present this looks like a matter for the appellate court. But of course we shall see what can be done about it." Three women named Eve and a man named William Adamson from British Columbia were found on the passenger Yist and they fell under suspicion immediately. Attempts to cct*blish alibis were as fruitless as they had been l-eiore Noah built the ark. Adamson admitted that he was the tenant of a cabin on the-same deck as that occupied by the apple and he was summoned for an interview with the captain. He was a technical prisoner when the "Melita" reached Belle Isle and might have been landed In Bhackles at Quebec had it not been for an un expected denouement. A room steward, penitent but brave appeared before the officers substituting for angels with flaming swords. "If it's an apple you're looking for I think I can find it for you," he volunteered. "It looked like just an ordinary apple and what with the way the women passengers are always wanting things there was no way of telling about it — you know how it is. I had brought a dish of fruit into tnat cabin the morning all the fuss started and when I was taking out the dishes some time afterward it was only natural-like that I Bhould have made a mistake. I picked up that apple " "And so it's lost, gasped the investigators. "That's where you're wrong," declared the steward triumphantly, "It's found. As soon as I heard of the howl I traced that apple. I followed its trail back to the pantry and thence to the cold storage room. And this morning I discovered it. One of the chefs had been in just before me. But I was determined. I went right out after him And I found the apple It's in here.:..." And with a magnificent air he lifted a napkin from a large pan of apple sauce. Another apple, later found concealed in a locked trunk, will be presented to the Field Museum of Chicago. The tree from which the fruit was picked has recently been designated as the "Tree of Knowledge" by the British Government substantiating' an Arab legend of long standing. The document authenticating the claims of Quernah as the site of Eden is a record of court martial, a copy of which was brought back with the apples. The case in point was that of Thomas Rogers, a sergeant in the British Flying corps stationed in Iraq since the armistice. Rogers, climbing the tree to have his picture taken, broke off one of the branche- and was arrested by the Arab police. ' The verdict finds him "guilty of having broken a limb from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden" and fixes his fine at "one month's pay," a lighter sentence than that visited upon his remote ancestor for a simila* offence. Remarkable expansion of the ] cream export industry of the province of Quebec is disclosed by fig- | ures of the Dominion Express Company furnished recently. In May three to four carloads, or about 614,- 400 pounds of cream were going every week, while in June an average of a carload a day, 153,600 pounds, was predicted. Tomatoes weighing over 22,600 pounds travelled across Canada by Dominion Express recently, constituting the largest load of hot-house tomatoes ever shipped out of British Columbia. Handled in a single express car, the shipment was the product of the Victoria Hot-House Association, which represents the majority of the tomato g*fo*wers on Vancouver Island. E. W.

Mo. 1 shows the tanks lo whioh 1st prooess. The text below explains lhe other photomphs foil?, M-tteie* arel IMe.lt Passengers on the Trans-Canada ana other Canadian trains have often admired the tableware with which the dining cars are equipped, but comparatively few of the travelling public appreciate the extent to which electroplating enters into every day use on a Railway. As a matter of faot, practically all metal hardware puts of passenger equipment interiors are plated, many of the engine parts, including the copper reflector of the head-light aro plated, and various platings are use*' on a thousand and one articles which enter daily into the life of a railroader. The traveller notices the silver plate perhaps more than any other, but many metals are used by the railroad companies. Cold, for instance, ls used by the Canadian Pacific for plating pepper caster tops and similar articles, copper is used on lighting and other metal car fixtures, zinc on refrigerator hardware, nickel on kitchen utensils, tin on trainmen's lanterns, mercury on telegraph elements and aluminum or lead on miscellaneous articles. At its Angus Shops, Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has quite an extensive plant where tho most of its electro-plating is carried on. The method used by this Company is a simple one but none the less effective. The articles to be plated are first chemically cleaned, after which they are usually hung from a metal bar into a long vat where they are Immersed ln a chemical solution which varies with the metal to be deposited. The electric current, which Is of low voltage, is connected, the positive pole to the metal plate or plates, and the negative to thc bar i tba articles to is plated are BusBemisU. As the electric cur rent flows from the plaiting metal to the suspended artlolea; the metal Is carried through the solution and deposited ln tho form of a thin coating over the entire surface of the required article. This process ls well Illustrated in Na 2, which shows two electrio headlight reflectors in the process of receiving silver plating. In this case the plate of silver Ib suspended in the centre of the reflector, which is filled Vith cyanide of potassium solution, and the electric current flows from the plate to the reflector which is, itself, the negative pole. Illustration No. 3 shows the next step ln tiie treatment of the headlight reflector, which, by the way, gives the highest concentration of light known. This Ib hand burnishing, the operator burnishing two reflectors in a working day. For articles which can he readily polished by a rotating buffing wheel, this ls accomplished ln the manner shown ln No. 4. Upon completion of the polishing operation, articles to be so treated are placed in a metal container and, by means of a small compressed air gun, sprayed with suitable lacquer. If it is desired to oxidise the plated article ip order to make lt harmonize with woodwork or other material, as is often tho case with copper platings, it is exposed to heat or vapor, or immersed ln some solution prior to the application Of the finishing coat of lacquer. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company was the first large corporation in Canada to instal Its own electro-plating plant, but during the last few years this method of protecting metal from'oxidation has developed into quite an. industry and ono wbioh employs a Urge number at CunmHan workmen. -* DO YOU WANT THE PEOPLE TO READ YOUR ADVERTISEMENT People take The' Sun becausej||| they believe it is worth the price we charge for it.

Hundreds of cuses have demonstrated in a most striking manner that the weeding out of non-produc- tlvo milk cows and better caro for the producing members of the milk herd pay big dividends. This point was strongly stressed in an exhibit at tho International Dairy- Exposition held at Indianapolis last October. An actual instance was given which disclosed the following facta. A milk producer had a herd of six milk cows producing 27,000 pounds of milk annually. He joined a cow testing association. The flrst step taken was to woed out tho non-productive cows, that is, those cows yielding insufficient milk to net a profitable income over and above feed cost, t The weeding out process left only four cows in the milk herd. But these remaining cows wcro fed according to their individual requirements. No sanitary or beneficial feeding measure was neglected. During stabling months, they were given plenty of clean bedding; stables were kept clean; thc long hair on flanks and udders wore kept clipped. Thc cows were brushed or wiped with a damp cloth before each milking. Utonslls were sterilized. The stable was well ventilated and plenty of clean, pure water was given the cows. A year from the time the member joined tho association, his records showed an increase ln milk to more than 28,000 pounds from the four cows as compared to 27,000 pounds from six cows prior to this period. There was more than a corresponding increase ln butterfat. The cow testing association consists of about twenty-six farmers who co-operate and employ a trained tester to test their cows for economical production of milk and butterfat. The tester spends one day a month on each farm and obtains a complete record of each cow's milk and butterfat production, feed consumed, feed cost, growth, and Income, and income over feed. w The first cow testing association In tho United States was that organized at Newaygo County, Michigan, ln 1905. Since then, there has been a fairly constant growth until 1925 shows a tally of 732 cow testing as- soclatlons with excellent prospects of tho number doubling within the next three years. Norman E, Wilkinson, London, England, inventor of camouflage paintings which was used extensively during the late war, arrived in Canada on the Canadian Pacific liner "Montcalm" with his wife recently, for a tour of the Dominion. Sir Clifford Sifton, prominent To- rontonian, and Sir Stepford Prun- ton, M.I.M.E., famous mineral geologist, also arrived on the same vessel. Cel. C. H. D. Ryder, C.B., C.I.E., D.S.O., chairman of the Air Survey Cempany of London, England, interviewed Premier Mackenzie King and the prime ministers of the various provinces with regard to finding out the prospects of surveying practically the whole of the Dominion by air. He also wishes to know about the possibility of combined federal and provincial action for these surveys. ^ On his return from a recent tour of inspection of the Company's Western Lines, Grant Hall, Vice-President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, stated that exports to the Orient in the form of grain, flour, dressed meats and motor cars were steadily increasing in volume and that trade with Australia had been considerably stimulated by the trade arrangements with that Dominion. Mr. Hall added that conditions were good in the West. The mining industry in British Columbia showed up well, while lumber shipments were heavier than last year. All roads led to Windsor Station, Montreal, for three days prior to the opening of the tenth annual international Kiwanis convention, which opened on June 6. Not only was the C.P.R. station the gateway through which an army of Kiwanians passed into Montreal, but, every one of the delegates, their wives and friends, about 7,000 in all, congregated there as the station had been constituted registration headquarters of the convention. A force of 82 stenographers was specially engaged to handle the work. Tbe Sun Presses have twice the speed of aoy other presses io the Boundary.
