WILURSON PASSES BEYOND Merrfber of I. O. O. F. Lodge, No. 52, and Rebekah Lodge No. 24 In the death of Charles Willarson, which occurred early Sunday morning, March 26, Princeton loses not only one of her most prominent and respected citizens, but one of whose sterling integrity and uprightness of Character will leave its lasting impress on the community. Few men have won more completely the affection and esteem of their fellow-citizens. Many a man took to him his small personal or business troubles and found a ready friend; the work that he did for others m this way, making out papers and writing letters and so on—all gratis—was almost equal to his own business. He took an interest, too, in every kind of work that was for the public welfare. He was almost ajlways on the Hospital Board, often or. the School Board, member of the Board of Trade, took an active part in politics as head of the local Liberal organization, and also an active part in the fraternal and benevolent order to which he belonged. The numbers present at the funeral, which wa3 held rrom St. Paul's Presbyterian Church at 2 p. m., Tuesday, March 28, attested to the high esteem in which Mr. Willarson was held. The church Avas filled and overflowing and the streets in the vicinity lined with people. The casket was buried beneath the numerous wreaths of flowers from his many friends. The service at the church was conducted by Rev. R. Herbison, the pall bearers being Messrs. P. Russell, P. Y. Smith, T. S. Hughes, C. O. Day, W. Forsyth, P. Rowlands. At the grave the Oddfellows' Lodge No. 52, of which Mr. Willarson had been a member since its institution, conducted the ceremony, thgfemembers turning oufe^fr1 full foroe for the occasion. Mr. Willarson's death came suddenly. While he had suffered a severe i'lness some months before, from which he had not wholly recovered, the end came as a terrible shock, not only to his wife and household but to all the community. He was in his sixty-second year. He was born m Denmark, Mary 24, 1860, receiving a college education there. His father was a sea-captain; Charles sailed with him for a. number of years and lad himself captain's papers. He came to California in 1883 and there met Mr. Pete Johnson a year laior. Since that time the two have been inseparable friends, and also partners in their business interests. They remained . in California ti'l 1890, prospected in Washington until 1896. In that year they came to Rossland where they staked several claims, coming on to Princeton in 1900. Here they spent several years prospecting, the most successful strike being a.t what is now Copper Mountain. Mr. Willarson was in the employ of the A. E. Howse Co. several years up to 1909 when he and Mr. Johnson started in business for themselves. In the Britton block they worked up a flourishing business, moving into the present fine store, in the front of the Oddfellows' hall a little over a rear ago. |||1 Mr. Willarson was married in June, 1911, to Miss Branch Tree, of Casselton, N. D. About eight years ago they built the beautiful residence which has been their home. CLAIMS HIS TEETH WERE SHUNTED OUT Vancouver.—A week's adjournment today by Chief Justice Hunter of the plaintiff's application for interrogatories disclosed an interesting action proceeding in the Supreme Court against the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Kettle Valley Railway company. Unstated damages for personal injuries are claimed against Jiese corporations by J. A. Long, farmer of "Jura, B. C. The accident took place about a year ago when Mr. Long was returning home from the coast, and when passengers transferred at Spen- ces Bridge from C. P. R. to Kettle Valley trains. The plaintiff boarded a car of the latter line and during shunting operations he was thrown with considerable violence against the side of the car so that a number of his teeth were knocked out. He has been ill ever since, he alleges. wmmm Mrs. Huff was a we«k-end visitor at Coalmont last Sunday. Mr. i. W. Wirth was up from Keremeos for a few days this week. Mr. J. H. Smith, of Vancouver, representing Bradstreet's, was in town yesterday, checking up the various ousiness houses in Prineeton. Mr. W. H. Tassell, piano tuner, of /ancouver, has been in Princeton „his week in the interests of his profession. Miss Trehearne returned to town ju Wednesday's G. N. R. train after i. month's visit with friends in Hed- ay. She will resume her residence j,c the Trehearne ranch. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade for April will be held tonight (Friday) instead of Monday night, in the office of the secretary. Mr, E. W. Jefferson, of Winnipeg, paid a surprise visit to his old friend, Principal Cornish of the public school, on Wednesday. He went on to the coast on Thursday's train. Telegraph Inspector C. K. Brown f .he K. V. R., Penticton, paid an official visit to Princeton on Wednesday, returning home the following morning. Messrs. Simpson and Fleming, of Penticton, came in on Wednesday, and aro busily engaged plastering the newly built Presbyterian manse. Mr. and Mrs. Weatherly, of Kelowna, :ame' in on Thursday afternoon to ■ee their son, who was injured at irookmere the day previous and brought to the local hospital. Mr. and Mrs. A. E.-Oelrich, of One Mile, have the sincere sympathy of a arge circle of friends in the loss of iheir infant daughter, who died on Wednesday, March 22. Burial took place in the local cemetery on Friday aTreTnoonriaat^ Miss Beale, of the Government Telegraph office, was a passenger on Wednesday afternoon to the coast for a brief vi3it. On her return from the coast she will go to Hedley, where she will re-enter, the employ of the .led'oy Gold Mining company, having resigned her position here. Mr. P. B. Freeland delivered another of his popular lectures on Min- _ng and Prospecting in the school house last Saturday evening. There was a fair turnout of those interested. He went down to Keremeos on Monday and delivered a similar discourse there, returning to town Wednesday. J. WEATHERLY INJURED What might have resulted in a ser- |qs accident occurred on Wednesday morning at Brookmere, where a young man named J. Weatherly, employed as an engine watchman by the K. V. R., had the ligaments of his !eft urm badly torn and sustained severe bru.ses on his body. It appears that .e was running alongside a moving engine in an attempt to board it, when his overalls caught on a grease cup, dragging him for a short distance. Fortunately his limbs were not drawn under the wheels. First aid was at once administered and he was rushed to the Princeton hospital on a "special." Everything possible is being done for his injuries, and latest reports were that he was getting along nicely. His parents at Kelowna were immediate* y notified of the accident and they arrived here yesterday afternoon. GAME ASSOCIATION FORMED A well attended meeting of those interested in the organization of a Fish and Game Protective association for the district surrounding Princeton, was held Monday night, March 27, in H. B. Meausette's shop. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, E. Waterman; vice-president, H. B. Meausette, secretary^treasurer, A. Sorenson. Ii lieu of appointing an executive it was decided that each member should consider himself a member of such committee. The secretary was instructed to at once get in touch with Fishery Inspector G. N. Gartrell, of Summer'and, to see what could be done to get more of the streams and lakes stocked with fish. Anyone interested in this cause are cordially invited to join the association; the membership fee is only one dollar. BRITISH COLUMBIA FAIRS' ASSOCIATION On the 24th February the first annual meeting of the B. C. Fairs' Association was held at Chilliwack. Whist the number of delegates present was not as large as had been hoped there were representatives present from all circuits except the northern one. The secretary, Mr. W. J. Bonavia, presented his report for the year's activities, to gether with the financial statement. It appeared that as the resu't of a campaign for membership in 1921,. that forty associations out of a possib'e 61 had joined the association as members. After the conclusion of the routine business, election of officers for the current-year took place as follows: W. Waldon, Duncan, B. C, president; A. K. Goldsmith, Aldergrove, vice-president; H. S. Rolston, Vancouver, George Sang- ster, Victoria, D. McKenzie, New Westminster, directors; W. J. Bonavia, Victoria, secretary-treasurer. Not many resolutions were passed, the most important one being in connection With a request of the government for the restoration of grants in aid of prize lists to the 50-50 basis which had prevailed before the year 1921. Several committees were appointed to deal with the question of dates of fa'1 fairs for the five circuits, and 'he following dates were given out for the press, the remainder to be published later after confirmation by cor- correspondence: Circuit 1 Courtenay Sept. 5-6 Hilliers " 14 Lasqueti Island " 16 Victoria " 18-23- Parksvire " 20 Alberni " 21 Ladysmith %/' 28-29 Circuit 2 Vancouver Aug. 19-26 Agassiz Sept. 6 Langley (Milner) " 6 Maple Ridge " G-7 Chilliwack " 6-8 North; Vancouver^ ...... 1-2 Burquitlam | §g.

His observation of the animals in their natural haunts showed that they ate with evident relish the Fly Agaric, a muihroom deadly poisonous to man. It was noted, though, that they ate only the stalks of the plants, leaving the umbrella, or cap, untouched. This raises the question as to whether the factor of safety lies in the immunity of the animal or in the fact that the poisonous subsance is concentrated in the rejected parts. If the latter be true, it reveals an interesting feature of the instinctive discrimination of these animals.— Scientific American. OBITUARY I. O. O. F„ NO. 52 On Sunday, March 26th, the membership of our Lodge and Order was called upon to mourn the death of one of our most highjly respected and recognized leaders. ' Our hearts were saddened when it became known that Past Grand Brother Charles Willarson had parsed away at his home. The grim-reaper, £|peath" has laid his heavy hand on our most distinguished member. Brother Willarson was a senior Past Grand, and owing to his long service in our Lodge pie was probably the best known member of the local branches p|| our fraternity, and was loved ||>y all With whom he came iu contact. He has attended the ^meetings of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia as representative on several occasions, and through long years of connection with the Order, he had come to be known as an "Ideal Wt_ Oddfel.Wship." Whie his ijs£mains have been covered with the soil of the city he Ipved so well, and for which he Jfistd devoted so much of his life and energy, his splendid influence and example will con- ptnue to live through the generations . that are to come, brother Willarson attended ®odge for the last time one month ago and at that time no I|B.usual decine in his physical Ipndition was apparent, and l&ose who attended lodge with siim the last time will recall [Me, beautiful and touching words he spoke in defence of the laws and principles of our beloved Order. It was little thought that when he arose p^oth. his station of ^^teortHng*3 secretary to make that short address that it would be his valedictory, which it, indeed proved to be.. No man in our lodge or community was held in higher esteem than was Brother Willarson, nor was the judgment of any upon important matters more sound. His advice was frequently sought and was always practical and correct. He will be greatly missed by everyone. His funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, March 28 from St. Paul's Presbyterian church. After the service the remains were borne to the Oddfellows' plot in the local cemetery, where at the gravside the Oddfellows' service was read by Brother John How^rth, Noble Grand, and Brother Charles Bromfield, P. G. Chaplain. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by sorrowing friends. The members of the-^ local Oddfellows and Rebekah Lodges do this day and forever cherish the sacred memory of our most beloved Brother and Friend.

HENRY FORD WANTS TO SCRAP OOR GOLD Henry Ford wants our money readjusted on a basis of productive energy, instead of gold as. at present. He announced at Washington, while negotiating with Secretary of War Weeks for the purchase of Muscle Shoals, Ala., as shown here, that the fight for a readjustment of American f. money was to be his battle this year. Ford insists that he will give the American farmer the cheapest fertilizer they have ever bad if the Muscle Shoals project goes through. I 60ALM0NT NEWS ) (From our own correspondent.)

GRUESOME FIND BY SECTION MAN Remains of Jack Way, Who Disappeared Last Year, Discovered MRS. LOV1NA TREE After a long and trying illness Mrs. Lovina Tree died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Wilarson, Monday, March 27. Mrs. Tree had taken .11 with rheumatism about the middle of November last. During a partial recovery she fell and fractured the hip bone. Owing to her advanced age this did not knit together, causing her a great deal of suffering, eventually resulting in her death. The funeral service was held in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Rev. R. Herbison officiating, after which the body was taken to Casselton, North Dakota, to be interred in the family plot thero. The pall bearers were: Messrs. A. Bell, P. Y. Smith, T. S. Hughes* J. Gellatly, Hugh Hunter, P. Russell. Mrs. Tree had made many friends, especially among church-going folk during her residence in Princeton. She was a genuine christian of the old school, with a firm faith in God and in Jesus Christ as the way of salvation, and also a great love for the Bible as the book of books. She read the New. Testament through during her illness. Her serene religious temper had carried her through many trying experiences in the earlier days of her life and sustained her through the weary weeks of suffering and pain, which she bore with quiet patience and fortitude. Mrs. Tree (Lovina Caister) was born in Oxford County, Ont., near Woodstock 74 years ago, where she was married and nearly all her children were born. She came of a religious family. One sister was married to a brother of Dr. Geo. L. Mac- kay, the famous missionary to Formosa, and is still living at Tavistock, Ont.; another, Mrs. Lucy Fryfogle, lives at Shakespeare, Ont., and another, Mrs. Lucy Hill, at Erie, Ont. Mrs. Tree faioved with her husband and family forty-two years ago to Casselton, North Dakota. Five of her family of seven survive her: Mrs. Stanfield, of Superior, Mrs. Mackenzie, of Copper Mountain, Rufus Tree, of Towner, North Dakota, Caister Tree, of Wheatland, N. D., and Mrs. Chas. Willarson. The eastbound K. V. R. trains have been running somewhat behind schedule time of late, owing to the melting snows in the Coquihalla. Numerous slides have occurred, causing delays of several hours. On Wednesday morning, Robt. Schulli, K. V. R. section foreman, found a human skull in the ditch alongside the railway track about three miles west of town. Accordingly, Mr. Schulli reported the discovery to the provincial constable. On Thursday morning a search party comprising Constable Fryer, G. G. LyalL Robt. Schulli ana Oscar Carlson, visited the locality and were rewarded by finding the decomposed body a considerable distance up a rocky draw, and from which the head had been severed by the action of the elements and rolled down close to the track. Through the finding of a memorandum book, a cane and a pair of spectacles, the remains have been identified as that of J. R. Way, who disappeared from town about a year ago, and had not been heard of since. It was learned that he has a brother in Los Angeles, who has been communicated with as* regards disposition of the remains. Coroner McCaffrey held an inquiry today and a burial certificate has been issued. DISCOURAGE USE OF SMALL CARDS OR ENVELOPES It is desired that at the coming Easter Season the public should be urged to discontinue, as far as possible, the use of small cards and envelopes and with this in view suitable news items should be placed in the local press and the attention of the public brought to this matter in every other possible way. The following objections to the use of small cards and envelopes should be pointed out: ^SS iv As a result of the small size of the cardSTjdr envelopes the Post Office cancellation mark frequently falls on the address, partially obliterating it with the possiblity that the "article may be misdelivered or at least delayed. 2. There is difficulty in the post office sortation and handling of small cards and envelopes and this unavoidably causes delay. 3. There is also difficulty in putting small cards or envelopes through stamp cancelling macmnes at larger offices, and this too causes delay. 4. The smafll size of the cards or envelopes makes them apt to fall out of bundles in which they are tied, and there is the possiblity of loss as a result of this. Responsibility for loss, misdelivery or delay as outlined above, arising from the use of small cards or envelopes, rests entirely with the Sender. TEN DEMANDMENTS BY THE BOSS Rule 1—Don't lie; it wastes my time and yours. I'm sure to catch you in the end, and that's the wrong end. Rule 2—Watch your work, not the clock. A long day's work makefe a long day short and a short day's work makes my face long. Rule 3—Give me more than I expect and I'll pay you more than you expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profit. , Rule 4—You owe so much to yourself that you can't afford'to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or keep out of my shop. Rule 5—Dishonesty is never an accident. Good men, like good women, can see temptation when they meet it. Rule 6—Mind your own business, and in time you'll have a business of your own to mind. " Rule 7—Don't do anything which hurts your self-respect. The employee who is willing to steal for me Is capable of stealing irom me. Rule 8—It's none of my business what you do at night; but ■ if dissipation affects what you do next day, and you do half as much as I demand, you'll last /half as long as you expect. Rule 9—Don't tell me what I'd like to hear but what I ought to hear. I don't want a valet to my vanity, hut I need one for my money. Rule 10—Don't kick if I kick; if you're worth while correcting you're worth while keeping. Tomorrow Is "April Fool's Day," so look out for the other fellow! 2 THE PRINCETON STAR, PRINCETON, B. C.

S. Public Heath Service. Many of them are backward solely because of such ordinary and easily remediable defects as adenoids, near-sightedness, or bad teeth. A case in point was recently reported by the official representative of the Public Health Service in the eighth sanitary district of Vermont, in which the Service is co-operating in a rural health work project. Medical inspection of one of the graded schools in October, 1919, showed that it had been thought necessary to instruct in a special room sixteen pupils who had seemed to be unable to keep up with their respective classes. Physical examination showed that each of the sixteen had some serious hampering physical defect (chiefly enlarged tonsils, adenoids or defective hearing or eyesight), which, rather than any men tal handicap, was the probable cause of their inability. Through the cc~opeTation of the school directors, the facts were brought to the attention of the parents or guardians of the children and all were set right before the end of the year. On re-examination of the pupils . the next December (1920) it appeared that all of the sixteen previously backward children had caught up with their proper grades and were keeping up in them with their classmates. A year later, in December, 1921, some of these sixteen children were among the mental and physical leaders in their grades. THE HIGHWAY ACT We have been requested to draw attention .to the Highway Act, Amendment, 1921, which prohibits the use of heavily ladened vehicles on roads which are at the time not in condition 'to withstand such traffic. This applies most particularly to truck owners to whom I wish respectfully to point, out that they are defeating their own ends by making roads impassable; no gravel roads no matter how well built, will carry heavy truck traffic during the spring thaw or after heavy rains. A penalty is provided for infraction of this Act, and authority has been conferrod upon the district roads engineer to take summary action. CHEMISTRY AND AGRICULTURE The Reading Habit (Experimental Farms Note) The hope of the future of Canadian agriculture lies, in a very large measure, in the fact that our farmers as a class are readers of articles, bulletins and reports dealing with matters pertaining to the science and practice of farming. Furthermore, we venture, to say they are for the most part readers with open minds, anxious to lean and, as far as circumstances permit, to put into practice that which appeals to them as sound teaching. These statements! may appear to some 'as decidedly optimistic but that they are not extravagant nor wide of the mark is the opinion of one who for more than thirty years has had an excePent opportunity of learning at first hand, the thought. and asph'- ations of the Canadian farmer. If sttatistics could be obtained, il would most probably be found that as regards the volume of its agricultural literature in active circulation, Canada considering her farming population, stands ahead of all countries And there would not be this large output if there were not a demand for it. If such be the case we may conclude that apart from economic considerations our prospects for progress, for more efficient and more profitable farming are goou. The purpose of these few paragraphs is to stimulate and encourage the reading habit and particularly the reading by the young men and women on the farm of matters pertaining to "the .chemistry of agriculture. The facts that chemistry reveal bear directly on-foundation problem.^ such as the maintenance and increase of soil fertility, the economic production •f larger yields of farm crops, the nutritive value of forage plants and feeding stuffs, the nature and use of manures and fertilizers, etc. There is scarcely a question in connection with soils, crops and stocks that chemistry does not throw some light upon. The more one reads the more one is impressed with the fact that chemistry offers most valuable information on practically every phase of farming and that this information may be made use of in a very direct way by the man on the land to his profit and advantage. Our plan therefore is for more reading, careful, thoughtful reading. Acquire the habit of devoting fifteen oiinutes a day to the bulletins and reports of our agricultural institutions and the more educational articles and papers in the agricultural press This material, in which this Dominlan abounds, can be readily understood by an intelligent person; it doe*-, not call for a scientific education to unravel its meaning, Much of it can be obtained for the asking. Its perusal will make farm work more interesting and, if put into practice, more lucrative. Acquire the habit and you v ill never regret it.—Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist. IN THE COUNTY COURT OF YALE j HOLDEN AT PRINCETON 60RHESP0NDfN6E Editor, Princeton Star, Princeton, B. C. Dear Sir: In your issue of the "Tulameen Notes" of March 10 the' Tujlameen correspondent becomes rather personal when discussing the citizens of this little town, especially when referring to the matrons as not having enough sense to come out of tue rain. Now, I am one of the matrons, and rosent this attack very much. Mr. Editor*, don't you think it would be more gentlemanly if this correspondent would confine his notes to the social happenings and not to try to advertise what we might call scandal around the country? As far as I know, the matrons here soem to have a lot more sense than some of the men, who have so little to do, that they find time to watch and criticize every move of the few women living here. Disrespect for the fair sex is certainly shown. Furthermore, when referring to an undesireable citizen, may I say there j,re a lot of people here that the community could well get along without, but as this is a free country, we have a right to live our own lives as we please without the interference of the few that are always ready to stir ip gossip. Please give us less digs about our personal affairs and try to be a little more courteous toward all. Kindly print same in your next issue if possible, and thank you very much. Yours very truly, Mrs. E. B. Tingley. Tulameen, B. C, March 23, 1922. Editor, Star, Dear sir: Will you^Jcindly publish ;he. following in the next issue of your paper: We are two of the matrons here at Tulameen and feel very indignant over the remarks of the Tulameen correspondent in your issue of March 10. We are glad to say that one of ihe undesirables left Tuapieen some time ago leaving his wife and family destitute, and the other expects to leave as soon as he can dispose of hi3 vfife's clothes and furniture. Incidentally may we mention that it snows her and hasn't rained for tsjeveral months. (Mrs.) E?izabetfi Turner. (Mrs.) Lida> McKenzie Campbell. Tulameen, B. C, March 23, 1922.

Son Drinks CIGARS CIGARETTES TOBACCOS (Contributed.) There are certain diseases which have attacked the human race at different periods working frightful havoc. In the old days the Black Efeath, as the plague was called, carried away nearly half the population jf Europe. In our own times the "flu" has- caused more deaths and left more physical wrecks than even the Great War. In the social life of men .h«re have been similar diseases, working an injury there, which para- lejls that of these diseases in the physical life. Gambling is the "flu" of che social life of today. .In every mining camp, in every town and city of this continent, the gambling luat. has spread-like an epidemic. Only !'he. other day the writer's attention was called to the ruin of a family by his pernicious habit. Back of the gambling epidemic there are certain causes. Men have always gambled. There is a certain disposition in human nature which is prone "to take a chance." But it is doubtful if gambling has ever been so prevalent or so ruinous as it is at present. To Understand the situation with any clear- ess one must consider, first, the counters with which and for which men play, the notes or coins of common currency—money. Money Money as it passes current today is not a,very ancient institution. The whole system of banking, of interna- ional exchange, of paper notes and stamped coin could have come into being only at an advanced stage of civilization. For ages men. did without money, got along by a system of barter. Even yet there are parts of he world where a piece of goods, a shawl or a cloak, is reckoned as worth so many cows or beeves.

Money packets weighing more than one ounce should be prepaid six cents, for the first ounce and five cents for each subsequent ounce or fraction of an ounce.

LYALL Manager The origin of money is quite traceable. First men bartered real 'art- idles. If Jones wanted to *uy a cow from Brown he gave him a donkey in exchange for it, and each made delivery of the goods. If ' Jones did some work on Brown's farm he paid him not so many dollars, but so many chickens or geese and Jones carried them home, over 'his shoulder. But >ne day Jones wanted a cow from 3rown and had a donkey to give for it, but Brown didn't want a donkey just then. He might later on if he found where he couldx p\ace it. So Jones gives him a .bit of hide or leather with a rude drawing of a donkey on it, which meant that he was willing to deliver the donkey when called upon. Brown wants a pig from Smith and offers him a donkey for it, but instead of giving him one out of his yard he gives the piece of leather with a picture of a donkey, whereon Smith goes to Jones and gets delivery of the real article. One day Jones is working for Brown and wants wheat for pay so he can make flour. Brown'b harvest isn't in yet, but he gives Jones a piece of leather with a drawing on it of a sack. Jones before harvest time earns many sacks, more than he wants, so he gives this piece of leather to Smith for a hoe, and when harvest time' comes it is Smith, not Jones, that ca'ls with it at Brown'3 place for payment. Once inaugurated, one can see how this system would rapidly extend Itself. It ia so much easier to carry a little piece of leather with a picture on it for twenty miles than it is to carry sacks of grain, or to drive a cow. Primitive peoples still exist, using just such a simple medium of exchange. Now, the vast and complicated development of the monetary system does not change the real point at issue. Money represents something, goods or labor. This coin I hold in my hand is the sweat of some man's brow, it is a day of some man's labor in the heat of a broiling sun, it is a portion of some man's life, of the ference is at the request of organized labor. could see, some man carried the molten metal from the glowing furnace, for this that yo uhold in -your hand. Someone created its value, somewhere, sometime, by labor, ef fort, struggle, suffering. It is life, body, blood you /hold in your hand. From the other side, your piece of money is goods, food enough to keep a child alive for a week, clothing to protect some child or woman or man from the cold of winter, housing to ■shelter someone from rain and frost and snow. It is life, the price of life, the power of life. Money stands for something terribly real. You can't make it with a printing machine. Russia may print millions of roubles but they are only worth the paper they are printed on. It is only by work, labor, that real value, real money is created. The big issues of paper money made by Austria and even of Germany prove the same. Jones might as well say to Brown, "I want a cow and a> pig and a sack of wheat; I don't feel like working for then, and haven't any donkeys to exchange for then, but I'll gjve you a hundred of these leather strips with donkey pictures, for them." Brown will hesitate to exchange his cow for pictures that represent nothing. If we carried this thought in our. minds hat money is labor, toil, suffering, the very heart's blood of men, it might make us pause before we use it or spend it carelessly. If we exercised our imagination and pictured to ourselves the kind of work that was done sometimes for it, and on the other, hand the work it could do in feeding, clothing, housing someone, should we spend it so frivolously on some light pleasure, or luxury, or amusement? All this gives also a more sinister aspect to whatever dishonesty, manipulation or roguery, takes money from another without giving real value in The ton largest cities in Canada are Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Quebec, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Halifax and London. i»VM^#WW^M^V»V^VM^^»VNi^^*^M^^» WALL Stock direct from factory; large range of samples to choose from.
