There are two classes of men who go through life cursing fate and the thrifty. One class is lazy and dishonest. They never work except under stress and never do an honest day's work if they can avoid it, and are consequently never wanted if an honest man can be had. When not forced to work they swing their feet, grumble at the prosperous and tell how the government ought to own all the property and provide them with a living. Thc other class are the opposite of these in many respects, and yet reach the same terminal, although by a different route. This class represents a large element or number of real working men. Men who toil hard and squander their earnings as they go whether they be much or little. Men who work hard all day for what they can drink at night, so that they never have a square dollar of their own, and they, too, gradually come to look on thc sober, industrious and economical man, as an enemy, and on his possessions as if they had lost them and found them in his hands. And these two classes take to talking socialism or anarchy, and that that the government ought to own all the property and do all the business. If. Photographer Penrith Avenue Photos taken to order.

Most of the members from the various associations of the North arrived on Tuesday morning and held a Northern Central Conservative meeting. The members from the southern associations, including Cumberland, West Cumberland, Bevan and Punt- ledge, arrived in the evening in t'me to partake of the sumptuous banquet at the Willows hotel, which was beautifully decorated and illuminated for the occasion. Among the mottos displayed to -mvmrnmmmtmm an advantage were: Borden and k McBride, One Em- ' , ;'» pire, One Flag, One , i King, Welcome to 'our Representa- S|| tives, dements and Manson, Justice toAll, A White Canada.

H. E. Young, Provincial Secretary and Minister of Education, gave a rousing address on the British Empire during the course of his remarks. Some were present whose eyes were moistened with joy, while others were standing upon their seats with hat in hand shouting. Dr. Young who was at his best, dealt at some length with the European situation from the point of commencement down to the latest message received that evening, which said that Britain had declared war against Germany, in which he said Britain would come out greater and grander than ever. It was no time for party politics. At the close of his address the band played "God Save the King" an d "Rule Brian nia." Mr. IT. S. Clements M.

Mr, J. H. McMillan gave a violin solo in such a style, that put all previous efforts in the shade. Mr. M. Manson M. P. P. was the next speaker of the evening, and went into various questions effecting the welfare of the district, including education, roads, logging etc. and explained the affairs of the district in a very satisfactory manner. At the close of his speech the audience rising sang for "He, s a jolly good fellow." The next two or three hours were given to dancing with clear sky and beautiful moonlight, which made the surroundingsvery enjoyable. On Wednesday morning an 10 o'clock the northern and southern Conservative Associations met in joint session, when several important matters effecting the district came up for consideration Messrs. Clements and Manson addressed this meeting also on the question before the meeting which was the means of a mutual understanding between the North and the South. It was unanimously decided to hold the next annual picnic at Cumberlana in the early part of August, 1915, or at a date to be set by the the Executives of the North and South Central Conservative Associations.

Switch Gear at No. 7 Mine Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir),Limited. Here is represented the switchboard which controls and indicates the amount of electrical power used in the various parts of the mine. This switchboard is located in the part of the power house at No. 7 mine known as the substation. There are two separate switchboards in this substation; one khown as the high tension; and one known as the low tension. The substation also contains step down transformers, lightning arrester etc. the use of which may be explained as follows. Power is received into the substation from the hydro-electric power house at 13,200 volts 3 phase 25 cycles, and is passed through the high tension switchboard to the step-down transformer. The high tension switchboard is built of concrete and the switches are mounted in concrete cells. This construction is necessary on account of the high voltage used. The step-down transformer is of 1000 kilowatts capacity and reduces the voltage from 13,200 to 2,200. At this voltage the power is conducted to the switchboard shown in these picture by means of which the power is distributed to the various parts of the mine. The s\njtehboard consists of eight slate panels, 2 inches thick, mounted on angle iron framework, and'upon the panels are mounted the various measuring instruments shown. At the back are mounted the oil switches, connecting wires, bus bars for feeding the power to the different panels, and other apparatus for use in connection with the measuring instruments. Instruments are provided showing tbe amount of power being used at all times and meters are also provided which record the quantity of power in kilowatt hours used per day. The handles for operating the oil switches may be seen at the lower part of each panel, and these are provided with automatic trips which open the oil switch in the event of the amount of power taken exceeding a safe limit, The lines seen above the switchboard are the conductors from the outside transmission lines to the high tension switches and the step-down transformer. The lightning arrester, previously mentioned, is provided to protect the step-down transformer and other apparatus from being damaged by lightning and other electrical disturbances which may be caused in the transmission system. A second step-down transformer is also provided which reduces part of the power from 2200 volt to 440 volts. This tranformer is supplied from one of the low tension switchboard panels, there is thus available for use in the mine two different voltages, 2200 and 440, These are necessary for different classes of work. The entire substation equipment was furnished by the Canadian Westing house Co. Hamilton and is of the latest and most approved type. flianoforic luttion Mr.RICHARD KIRKHAM>(Jr [.ate Pianist of Criterion Theatre, Dudley, and Coseley Picture House, Wolverhampton, England, is prepared lu lulsi- Pupils fur tlu* pll Apply: Residence, DBRWBNT Avi-. or P.O.

Owing to a combination of circumstances, some of which are beyond our control, and some of which are universal. Our main industry, the mining and production of coal, is almost paralized and our usually large payroll has shrunk in proportion. . May we venture to suggest at this point, in our mutual experience, that the main slogan should be:•■■" PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY." At least do not send money away to the big departmental stores in other cities until you have paid us a visit and compared values. Then consider that we do not ask you to send cash with order unless your name is new to us. Consider also that your home merchant helps to circulate money in your own town; whereas ever dollar sent away in gone from the district for good. Do not overbuy, but let us have your requirements.
