B. C,\nEDWARD W. BICKLE\nSATURDAY, ArRII. 26, 1924.\nGETTIN' MAD\nDavid Harum, that keen, kindly,\ngenerous neighbor and firm friend in\nEdward Xoyes Westcott's famous\npiece of fiction you will remember,\nhud for a motto in a \"hoss\" trade:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"DO unto the other fellow the way\nIn- d like to do unto you\u00E2\u0080\u0094an' do It\nfust.\"\nBut one dny he mot his match. David bought u \"hoss\" of a stranger who\nguaranteed lhe \"boss to stand without\nhltcliln'\". The next day David Durum tried out his new horBe and thc\ncritter stopped ill the middle of the\nroad, and, as David said, \"kind a'\nhumped UP a little, and stood like hed\ntook root.\" In other words ,tho\nhorse was balky. It would \"stand\nwithout liitchin'.\"\nAnd here you get more of David's\nphilosophy: \"There was times when\nIf he'd fall down dead. 1 wouldn't hev\nftggered on puttin' a band on my hat.\nbut it. odn't pay lo get mad with it\nhoss\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"\nPositively! It never pays to get\nmad with a boss or a flivver or with\na human being. Getting angry with\nanyone or anything will never get\nyou out of a bad deal, but It will gel\nyou In where you cun not get out\nwithout a cost that yon cannot afford\nto pay.\nTimes have changed In this \"gel-\nting mad\" business as Ihey have\nchanged In mnny others. The old\ntype of red-faced, cursing neighbor\nwho raised Cain, got mad and blew\nup at thc least provocation is rapidly\ndisappearing. Men are learning to\ncontrol their tempers as n matter of\neconomy. A mad fit produces high\nblood pressure .upsets the digestive\nsystem und really is as bad as a spell\nof sickness. Folks with horse sense\nare learning that it doesn't pay to get\nmad any more than it pays to get\ndrunk.\nFrom handling \"hossos\" to handling humans Is not n far cry. You\nnotice David Harum said, \"it don't\nnever pay to get mad with a boss.\"\nYdu can get mad at a horse, but not\n\"with'' a boss, nnd then expect favorable results.\n.Most of us get mad with others.\nWhen two get mad at the same time\nyou know what happens.\nIt is a good thing when you feel\nthat you must get mad at somebody\nlo go off by yourself. Insist on being alone when you feel the mad spell\ncoming on. It will save your reputation for being explosive and dangerous, for many of us are handicapped\nby tempers.\nA little temper is not a bad thing\nin itself. There is such a thing as\nrighteous wrath. But when your temper and the other fellow's become\ntwins and go off together then there\nis apt to be fireworks. You keep\ncool while the other fellow gets hot\nand you will come out ahead every\ntime.\nROD AND GUN IN CANADA\nThe first part of nn actual timber\nsurveying trip in Northern Ontario ia\n; given In the May Issue of Rod and\nCun in Canada by T.

It ls a perfect\nmachine; the result of years of lest ln the plants of the manufacturers lu Switzerland and France :: This marvellous little\npocket lamp, embodying simplicity, reliability and compactness,\nweighs only 12 ounces. It ls patented In all countries.\nThe dynamo, with permanent magnet, based on new methods.\ngives dense magnetic fields of perfect concentration, which surrounds the Induction without loss of magnetic dispersion, and\npermits the maximum exploitation of the energy.\nConstruction of these lamps Is very carefully carried out by\nskilled Swiss clock end scientific Instrument makers :: Electro\nAutomate Lamps are tight and dust-proof. They can be used\nin all climates, Including equatorial regions. They will everywhere render the utmost service, giving a clear white light, without fear of the bulb burning out or the generator booming\nwarm.\nAll Electro Automate Lamps are guaranteed for six months, conditionally that they are not tampered with. With reasonable\ncare they will last for years. Any part can be renewed at slight\ncost. Lamps are provided with a pocket for extra bulbs.\nThis lamp Is especially useful to travellers, tourists, marine and\nmining engineers, automoblllsts, dairymen, in fact everybody.\nThey are indispensable on life-boats and rafts, where a light ls\nneeded tbat will not be extinguished by wind or wave :: Every\nmine should be provided with one or more of these lamps at lis\nportal or entrance, for the convenience ot the employee or official\nwhose work takes him iu and out of the mine at irregular Intervals. It ls the cheapest and best' light on the market fur this\npurpose :: Marine engineers welcome Electro Automate ln their\nengine room. It saves them from the annoyance and loss of\ntime occasioned by the unreliability of battery lamps when they\nwish to locale trouble or find something in n hurry :: Pilots aro\nfavorable to these little lamps because they are always standing\nby ready and able to do their part ln any and all kinds of\nweather. They are hardy little fellows and will Btand any\namount of knocking about, even to the bulbs, which are superior\nto any others on the market:: Mushers over the northern trulls\ntake those lamps In preference to others, because they give a\nnever ending light and add lees than a pound ot weight to their\noutfits. The winds oan't blow them out and the Bnow or wet can\nnot short elrcuit them.\nDIRECTIONS\nThe working of this self-generating lamp Is very simple. Pull tho\nlever completely and sharply with the Angers and let go, allowing\nit to open fully In order to take another full stroke. Strokes\nshould be even and sharp tor best results. This lamp is lhe\nonly one of Its weight that will give a perfect light.

Some hunt hidden treasures\nwhether of an archaealogical nature or the raw material as found in\nthe Canadian mine. To some men these things are merely hobbies, to\nethers . . a living.\nSome businesses and some occupations call for a breaking down of\nthe cast-iron partitions which we are apt to erect between what the\nworld is pleased to call \"a living\" ind a \"hobby.\"\nWhen we have worked for some time at earning a \"living' we are\napt to be suddenly aware that something of strength, something of alertness, some 'virtue\" has gone out of us. And in order to get back, we\nset about recreating that lost strength. By nature man is not a \"specialist.\" Yet we al) know, to our cost, thc tendency of modern business-life\nis to make him so. The pressure of \"business of which we boast, the\nsystem, the competition, of which we think so highly, as to be always\nin pursuit of it, is in reality a Juggernaut, a fierce feudal overlord of\nthe worst type, since we are in bondage to it without knowing it. We\naerially take our chains lovingly to our hearts\nSometimes the awakening conn.-s in the form of a rude shock. A\nphysician's dictum. But as often us not in quite another form. That\nsubtle and yet tangible shock received when some younger, fresher mind,\nlome \"mere chit of a fellow\" beat? us at our own game. That is the\nawakening that hurts Because w<- know that at the club, other men\nare faying \"Fell down on the Job.\" Whereas the truth is, \"Stuck to his\nJob. not wisely but too well,\" would he so much nearer the truth.\nWhen civilliatlon first began its pressure When business first\nbegan to be so intense we (elt we \"could not leave it,\" the number of\n\"break-downs\" waa terrific. But Just about that time we began to see\nthat to go down and out was not playing the game, but surrendering,\nsurrendering not altogether to pressure from without but to weakness\nwithin\u00E2\u0080\u0094a failure to stand-up against \"fearful odds\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094unexpected lunges.\nAnd io we began to cast sdoui for a means of strength\u00E2\u0080\u0094that iron-\nstrength of nerve\u00E2\u0080\u0094which would stund up squarely under ordinary fire\nand rise like a well-trimmed ship to meet the waves of unexpected storms.\nThis thing has been thought out and acted upon as a positive condition of modern life and businest we may say within the past twenty\nyears, and more firmly yet within the last ten years.\nMen now go away and leave their business at least once each year.\nAnd the wiser take a vacation not only in summer but in winter as well.\nThe more intense the business, the header the fire, the greater need for\nre-mforcing that strength which Is burned out. The greater need for\nthe gathering up of new Ideas.\nSo, when you tee a business-nnm, a banker or railroad president or\na company official, or any other desk-ribbon Jockey casting the fly on1\nthe French River, or exhibiting the skin of a Nipigon trout sketched\non a board, pleased as any school boy who has carried his bat out at,\ncricket, or kicked a goal for the school team, you know him not so1\nmuch for a great sport as for a gn\u00E2\u0080\u009Ed business man.

But all these enter\nInto the cost of mining coal.\n\"Then there Ib a high percentage nf\nwastage ln washing operations,\" he\ncontinued. \"At Ladysmlth alone, in\n1923, more than 40,000 tons were lost\nIn this operation, which cleans the\nsmaller coal, washing away the shale\nand dirt. While this loss was not of\ncoal, lt was brought to the surface\nand paid for as such.\"\nMr. Graham declared that mining\noperations were conducted ns economically as possible In nil tho Vancouver\nIsland mines. Owing to the frequent\nfaults and geological formations tt\nwas often Impossible to mine by machinery. The Increased use of fuel oil\nin Vancouver Industries had been a\ngreat marketing loss to the mines of\n| the Island.\nNo Coal Combine\nAt Cumberland the mines only averaged about three day's work each\nweek. Other mines also were cither\nworking short time or were producing\nless coal than formerly, employing\nfewer men. Little If any development\nwork was being undertaken, he declared.\nIn concluding, Mr. Oraham declared\nthat there existed no coal combine to\nkeep up prices. Coal prices were high\nin the East. In Nova Scotia, where\nmining was tess expensive, he said,\ncoal was retailed for practically the\nsame price as ln Vancouver.\n\"The mine operators would be delighted if they were able to reduce the\ncost of coal to you here, for it would\nmean a greater use of coal, and consequently greater production, more employment for those already working,\nand additonal employment for others.\"\nhe said.\nBOUNDARY MONUMENT\nTO BE UNVEILED\nThe final boundary monument to\nmark the close of the survey of the\nHue between Alberta and British\nColumbia, will be unveiled this year\nat the summit of Robson Pass by the\nAlpine Club.
