Editorial

We were taking dinner with
an editor friend of ours who.
has been greatly interested in
our little editorial space.
"What are you going to write
about, now that the war is
over ?" he asked.
Human beings" we replied.
People are the most interesting
things in the world. The
world must have been a dull
place before they came, and
It viii be q dnlIer habitation
when the last one has de-
parted.
Running a big department
store has its chief interest
and incentive IN dealing with
men, women. and children.
1t is, Of course, gratifying to
see the dollars pouring into
our cash registers. But the
qualification comes, not from
the money, but from the fact
that we have made so sue
cessful a study of people that
We are filing their wants and
needs to THEIR liking.
People certainly are interest

ONTARIO PLANS TO
RAISE MORE HOGS

At provincial conference held at the
Parliament Buildings recently it was
decided to inauguratc Il vigorous cam
paign throughout Ontario to stimulate
increased production Of hogs. To this
end county conferences were arranged
Cor. followed by meetings in each town
chip and again in each school section,
The question Of feed was also dis
cussed, farmers declaring that the high
price and scarcity, as well as shortage
Of labor would make increased hog
raising difficult proposition, but that,
on the other hand, Il guaranteed price
for hogs. assurance Of cheaper feed
and regulation Of the profits of packers
would remove the risk and lend sta
biIity TO the industry If this could be
accomplished it is believed that farmers
generally will respond TO the call for
greater hog production. -- Christian

SCENT CAMOUFLAGE
in SNOW REMOVAL
Chief Hicks Gets Report That
Contractors Empty Carts on
Other Streets

\ report that city suow-remoNal con-
tractors are dumping the snow they col
lcct between the rails of the car tracks
on Walnut street, west Of Sixth street
and other parts Of the city was re-
ceived with interest by Chief Hicks, or
the Bureau Of street Cleaning, today.
He said that the contractors with carts
are supposed to dump the snow and
slush into manholes and that when they
collected the same they received a ticket
ana another when they dumped il into
tLc nearest manhole. They did not get
credit for load until they got this
second ticket. Therefore IL they are
really dumping it in the streets they
are doing so at their own risk and at
the loss of n loads pay each time.
He said that ii would be investigated
at once. lie also said that men working
a. street intersections with shovels are
instructed TO put the slush alongside the
cutters If there is no manhole near
enough, but that men with carts must
dump them into manholes to get theiI
pay.
