Holland and Canadian Waters to Make
Big Power Project.

Ing o"Sh AOJCSl.
The Stanstead Journal says: "The
owners of water powers on the Toni
fobia river should be awake to the
desirability of equalizing the flow of
water from Holland Pond by the con-
struction of permanent dams.
can option on all the land of the
Caswell & Davis Lumber company,
consisting of more than 1900 acres, is
held by w. K. Baldwin of Baldwin's
Mills, who at present owns large tracts
of adjoining timber lands, much Of it
draining into the different Holland
ponds. By damming two of these at
the outlet. the water would be forced
back into Canada and their present size
would be doubled. G. R. Caswell, many
years ago, would have damned the
outlets only for the fact that he had
sluice for running logs from the
main pond to his mill and in order to
do so. had to keep the water at practi.
cally the same level.
"Mr. Baldwin is a practical man
who is in his element when handling
large propositions. He has large in
vestments in power companies and
says he knows that by carrying out his
ideas. the Tomifobia can produce
twenty times the horsepower that is

in the year. as the retaining dams
would hold back more water than is
impounded by the dams of the Coati-
cook River Power company, at their
headquarters, the watershed of the
Tomifobia being much longer than that
of the Coaticook river. The proper
thing to do is to organize 'Tomifobia
River Power company, with provin-
cial charter.
"Mr. Baldwin is not a man who
thinks about what he thinks, until he
don't know what he thinks. He thinks
life is too short to daily over things
that are a certainty. He is willing to
do great deal to carry out bis project.
He thinks the Three Villages and the
vicinity between boundary line and the
Massawippi lake should form a live
board of trade, and when they are GER

get them.

number of kilometres at the most in
teresting turn 1t has ever known
For a long. long time the u. s. had Bill
Larned occupying a lonesome throne, and
when Larned abdicated and Mclaughlin
took his place 1t was generally agreed
that the Californian's reign would be even
more of a despotism than that estab-
lished by his famous predecessor.
At the end of that summer week a year
ago. when the Western meteor defeated
Norman Brookes and followed this victory
by crushing the mighty Wilding, there
was no one in close sight to be compared
with the brilliant Californian, who imme-
diately took his place as the greatest
tennis player in the world.

COURTESY ON TELEPHONE
No Reason Why II Should Be Forgot
ten Because One May Be
in a Hurry.

Il thought the telephone was most
informal instrument" objected one
girl to another who had spoken of tel
ephone etiquette.
Etiquette" said the other, lis sim.
ply courtesy, and naturally one can be
as courteous over the telephone as
anywhere else, but how many of US
are?"
Ii certainly is exasperating to be
given a wrong number; but 70 speak
in sharp, angry tone to the person
who answers the phone under such
circumstances is as unjust as Ii is inn
polite. Instead of rudely requesting
him TO ring off," you should say, Il
beg your pardon" as If you really
meant it.
Many women have an exasperating
way of asking, who is this?" when
someone answers their call whose
voice they do not recognize. Always
ask for the person you want to speak
to, and mention who wants her.
In talking to business people be
brief as possible. for their time is
valuable. Girls who have the tele-
phone habit should be made to realize
that it is most embarrassing for en-
ployees to be called to the phone dur
ing business hours unless the message
is very important, and that an EN-
ployer is not pleased. to say the least
when he sees his clerks wasting his
time talking social matters over the
telephone.
Don't impose upon your friends
good nature by telephoning from
house or office without offering to pay
for the call. Above all else, when you
phone 'cut IL short" II is difficult to
realize that pleasure can be had from
gossiping into hole in the wall, but it
is a temptation to many. Say what
you have to say and get through with
it, Don't keep the wire occupied with
aimless chatter when. perhaps, it is
urgently needed for an important mes
sage.

AS TO DIRT AND DISEASE
Words Have Been Considered Synony
nous, but Science Has Proved
the Contrary.

Fathers and mothers lucky enough
to have both boys and girls know how
clean the girls keep themselves and
how the boys disregard dirt. From
earliest childhood the little girls
hands and face are washed, and she
evades dress stains, combs her hair
and tries to look nice. But every
normal boy, up to the age OF fourteen,
revels in dirt and looks forward TO the
Saturday night bath with virtuous con
tempt or dread. But boys do not suf
fer infectious diseases as much as
girls. This was brought out in an in
yestigation made of $500 children of
all ages and sexes. We requested the
mothers themselves to report what
diseases their children had had. Girls
had had more infections than boys of
the same age. This goes to support
the modern view that dirt and disease
have no necessary relation. It is not
the dirt boys revel in that does harm.
1t is the germs in other people's
bodies that should be dreaded. The
girls encounter infection more than
the boys because they are more so
ciable, meet other children more. and
associate with them more intimately
than boys do."-Doctor Hill.
