boys in this province and in several
other Canadian provinces as a result
Of the war and 80 pressing has become
the situation that many big business
houses are substituting girls for the
whistling lads who 50 many years held
sway.
One reason for the shortage lies in
the fact that boys more than 16 years
old are eligible for army service and
a large part of them have enlisted.
Another cause is due to the school
laws which in this province and in
other districts compel the attendance
at school Of boys IA years old and
younger.
The problem has been solved here

MARKET OPINION.

New York-Confidence that the
submarine difficulty will be settled
without a break in diplomatic rela-
tions, was the chief reason for sharp
rally in stocks last week. There is
now reason for caution and reduced
commitment. Even Berlin is getting
skeptical and Washington uneasy
Besides there is reported growth for
trouble in the Van lyle reflections
what will occur in Mexico is an un-
known factor. Continued expansion
in business with increased dividends
furnished about the only. reason for
advancing stock last week. 1t is con-
ceded that financial interests are dis
posed to meet labor interests more
than half way, thus avoiding strikes.
but an unpleasant submarine surprise
Is altogether possible. II it comes it
would cause a shock Good news has
been fully discounted for the present
and we think wise to use rally for
stocks. U. F. Freely
think that wheat and oats and
corn are going to advance. c. E. Lewis.
