Mrs. Booth Says likeness Cause Of Living Cost

 fBy Mrs. Bramwell Booth.l
 fMrs Bramwsll Booth, wife of
 General Bramwell Booth, the
 head of the Salvation Army, takes
 a keen interest in the economic
 troubles which beset the working
 classes of Great Britain today. In
 the following article she points
 out how they themselves in
 large measure can remedy the
 present run of high prices.)
 There are many false and mistaken ideas in evidence at the present time.
 We see on every hand the sad spec tacle--I might almost say. for those who really care about the welfare of humanity, the heart-breaking spectacle
 of living than they could possibly do by their own isolated effort
 What is work As a matter it's es- sential and simplest meaning is the effort necessary to overcome a resist ance.
 The happiest thought about work to me is that work is the natural outcome of life. The more vigorous and joyous the effort to live and to overcome all that is in opposition to life
 Is not life in every department born of effort, and does not life prosper only through effort?
 Every one of the powers which en- rich and beautify life depends equally upon effort. The healthy child strives to walk and so learns to walk, and, later, adds to it's powers by the effort of learning to swim, to ride, to cycle, to skate.
 In all these achievements the re ward of the effort lies in the success of the effort. The reward is in itself.
 The true reward of mental effort is never found in any commercial value --in the book produced, or the inven- tion applied, or the problem solved; il is found in the actual result of the work itself.
 For it is not this the plan upon which God has made us. His children in His own image, capable of creative work and capable of joy in contempla' ting tht which we have brought forth
 Thank God, no enemy of mankind has power to deprive us of this possi- hility, pleasure in good work well done.
 Could we but learn that all the soT- row, suffering and destruction on the earth are but the result of refusal to work refusal, that is, to put up re- sistance to that which seeks to op- pose life.
 What a clever lie mans enemy, the Devil, manufactured when he first sowed the seed of the idea that limita- tion of output could possibly be bene- ficial to mankind generally, the idea which has so largely brought into be- ing the vicious circle of soaring prices. from which we are all suffering-the idea of making as little effort as pos sible. which brings misery not only upon ourselves but reaches out to every other with whom we come in contact.
 Thank God there are many work men with us today into whose lives the joy of effort rightly directed has come in it's fulnass.
 l The idea of Heaven on earth as well as Heaven in the world to come is that of nobly striving to do the will of the Great Father of love, and oi working in harmony with His benefi ! cent arrangements for His human family.

gARLIesr COLONY IN AMERIcA

Nova Scotia may lay claim to being the earliest colonized land in North America, with the exception of St. Augustine, Fla, where the Spanish esi tablishment was made as easly as 1865. Port Royal. now the little town of An napolis, was founded in 1904, three years before the English settled at Jamestown. The brave French pio- neers found 1t necessary to suspend their colony for three years. but the SC ttiement was re-established in 1610 by a group of Acadians.
 The Acadians were in almost con- start conflict with the English. The colony fell into the hands of the Eng fish twice, and was each time returned 10 the French before the English final ly captured it in ITO. The Acadians remained steadfast in their hopes that French rule would some day return, but their hope was destined never to be realized. They. however. persisted in maintaining their identity even against the English insistencs that they abandon their allegiance to their mother country.
 The descendants of the Acadians, numbering 300.O0O are to be found in

GERMAN JEwELRY TRADE HIT

The jewelry trade, says an article in Industrie and Handels Zeitung of Der lin, is one of the first to suffer during any economic crisis. The business flourished during the imitation which swept over Germany in the winter of 1S19-20. Now, however, due to the stabilizing of exchange and general staguation of business, the jewelry trade is practically dead. The article further states that Germany, having been shut out from the world markets for some six years, has seen it's place nthe jewelry export trade taken by the manufacturers of Birmingham. Paris, Switzerland and the United States Spain and South America, once good markets for German jewelry, are lost for the present, and in Ger many itself of course, because of pres ent conditions, few people are buying jewelry.
 High prices which prevail here and the uncertainty of delivery have also discouraged foreign buyers. With a hope of improving their condition, a number of large German jewelry firms are beginning to send their salesmen to South America and Spain in an en- deavor to reopen old relations
 In Pfortheim the center of the Ger man jewelry industry, 35,000 out of 70,0O0 inhabitants are employed in the precious metal industry.
