CANADA'S new
DEVELOPMEN
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

1t is evident that the Government of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development is I'M
dertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portacce. There will be available the
labor Cor work that has been silent
since 1914. and the rehabilitation Of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy Of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
VIII be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead of Canada sinking into a state
of lethargy, there will be a continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money. effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities Of
the great Canadian West possess Him
liable acres CT the best of soil, capable
of producing millions of bushels OF
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than ever for these lands. the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement OF
1t will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara. on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up. and it IS equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will 60 forward with a
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas commission for
the purpose of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned a large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes TO get it.-Advertisement.

Taking the Joy Out of Holidays

robbed of its adorable death-dealing

children can observe that will de-
crease the number of accidents. but
the motortst must never feel that the
responsibility rests at all with the
child"
l. Look in both directions before
stepping off the sidewalk The left Is
most important because all traffic
should be coming from that direction
2. Never walk behind street-car
without looking carefully for automo-
biles or other street-cars coming from
the other direction. 1t is much bet
ter to walk a little farther to the
corner before crossing.
3. When possible always go to the
corner where the traffic policeman is
on duty. He is your friend.
4. When more than one child Is
crossing the street, hold hands tightly.
don't run and don't separate. The
driver can miss you II you become
confused. providing you stay to-
gether. but II you separate, one OF
you is almost sure to be struck.
8. If car is standing at the corner
or moving slowly some distance away,
look the driver in the eye to make
what he is going to do. Don't look az
the front Of the car. Look at the
driver.
6. When streets are slippery. don't
take q chance In crossing just because
a car is moving slowly. A quick stop
is impossible for the car, and your
action may cause the car to skid ana
become unmanageable, thus endan-
dering many lives including your own.
Z. Don't read letters or books when
crossing the street. Don't talk to your
friend but keep your mind on the tact
that you are crossing a street where
there Is danger and you must ba
alert.
s. In playing ball or tennis, if the
ball goes into the street, don't run
after it without stopping first at the
curb to make sure that there are no
cars approaching.
3. Cross the street at street corn
ers. In many cities there Is a fine for
anyone crossing between corners.
This is called Jay walking
10. Don't play in the streets and
don't roller-skate in the streets.
II. If the road is the only place to
walk to school. walk on the left side
facing the traffic. If you walk on the
right side. you will be in the path of
cars approaching from behind.
IL. Don't hop on behind trucks
or cars. The greatest danger is in
getting off without being able to see
in all directions.

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

They do, not because 1t is a fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use makeshift, but is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only Many of our friends
say they get the best results from
simple homemade canthroX mix
ture. You can use this at a cost of
about 3 cents a shampoo by getting
some canthrox from your druggist
and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup
OF hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead of just the top OF the
head as with most preparations
Dandruff. excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that 1t will look much heavier
than 1t is Its luster and softness
will also delight you.--Adv.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT
IN LABOR CONDITIONS

Reports from both the city employ
ment bureau and the Federal employ
ment service for the past week show
a marked Improvement in labor con-
ditions in both the city and state.
There is an increasing demand for
help of practically all kinds, and
nearly all applicants for work are
being given places.
With very few exceptions, 1t Is an
hounced that returning soldiers are
beeing taken care of by local business
men. They are either given their
old jobs back, or in case they do not
want the same work. something is
found for them in other lines.
Government officials from the u. S.
Department of Labor at Washington.
who are looking after returned SOL
diers especially stopped here on a
tour OF inspection last week After
carefully looking over the situation,
their comment was that The local
agency was making n fine record In
getting Uncle Sans boys positions.
l.. j. Conway, manager of the
Richmond employment bureau, said
yesterday that although his office did
not make a specially of looking after
the soldiers, he had found positions
for practically all who had applied to
MN ne QiI NOT KNOW OF any
present who were out of work.
Referring to the general situation
here, Mr. Conway declared that it was
better than at any time since he took
charge of the office in January.
Il look for labor conditions to i'm
prove steadily right along" he said"
and there viii certainly be no prob
lem of unemployment in this city as
some pessimistS have predicted"
Mr.. Conway reported that on Mon
day his office filled more positions
than was done during tho whole of
the preceding week. There is still
slight surplus of unskilled white male
help, but in other lines. especially
labor the demand Is large.
There is 4 heavy demand at the T.
S employment service for farm labor.
Arrangements have been made for
the farmers to come in on Mondays
and Tuesdays to interview the men
whom they wish to employ. 1t is be-

lieved that by this arrangement, more
satisfaction will be given to both
parties. Returning soldiers are urged
to go back to the farms, where they
will get good pay and the high cost
of living will be solved.
There is little activity at present
in the metal trades. although it is ex-
pected that there will soon be OPEN
ings In this line. Common laborers
are needed here and on railroad con-
struction work. Domestic help Is also
wanted.
Although there is some surplus IN
clerical workers. male stenographers
are reported to be in demand.
