WHY BUY IN
OTTAWA?


The spirit of cooperation is
the spirit of this day. We all
help each other. cooperating
for the common good. This is
the time of great philanthropy,
the time to enlighten selfish
ness. Even in the most cold
blooded business deal some
thing is sure to leak out for the
benefit of all. We are all de-
pendent upon others, and every
.act has it's effect upon others.
The more help that we can give
ITO those who are in a position
to help us, the more we are in
directly helping ourselves. Our
merchants on La Sale St, for
instance, are plainly in a better
position to help us than a
tradesman on Michigan avenue.
To buy in Ottawa is to strength
en- our merchants and to
strengthen the city 1t is only
enlightened selfshness to help
our helpers.

Modern Crusoes.

Crusoes OF today are not so few as
many people suppose. Notwlthstand-
ing that in these times almost every
part Of the seven seas is trnversed by
ships, lonely castaways are being res
cued every year. Now an instance
comes from the Pacific. and now from
the South Atlantic. Yet there are
castaways who are discovered too late.
Recently a United States wind jam
mer" rounding Cape Horn had occa-
sion to send n bont ashore to look for
water on n Of the desolate Islands
OF the Pntagonlan coast. They found
more than water. In n roughly-mnde
little wigwam built in IA sheltered spot
neal the shore, they discovered the re
mains Of a seaman OF unknown n
tionality. BY the wreckage strewn
about, II was conJectured he was the
sole survivor Of some vessel that had
gone down in that nelghborhood.

his feet.
The drawing. which has become so
familiar to us on our coins, and more
recently on our pound notes, is founded
on the tradition that Ala, the daughter
of an ancient monarch, was once met
by IL dragon, which attacked her and
threatened TO devour her.
AT this fearful moment st. George
passed by, slew the dragon and rescued
the lady.
The legend has probably come to us
from the East, and belongs to The age
Of the Crusades, when st. George is
said to have beer honored with the
name victorious" The ancient Chris
tian emperors bore emblems of this
knight upon their standards, and at
tributed "A miraculous power to these
sacred banners.

So much for the warlike aspects.
Now for the other side. Two nations
that have been deadly enemies. and
two that many have feared might be
come such, are moving toward n
friendly adjustment of their differ
ences. The first case is that of
France and Germany. and though it
may be too much TO expect that they
soon will love each other. at least it
appears they are likely soon to resume
nmicable business relations. This is
the result of n conference ut Weis-
baden between NJ. Loucheur, French
minister of liberated regions. and DR..
Walter Rathenau, German minister of
reconstruction. Both these men are
exceedingly wealthy Industrial mag
mates and they debated for three days
over sn economic entente between
their countries. They finally reached
an agreement. for submission to their
respective governments, the main
points of which are that Germany UNI
d~ertakes, and France permits. the re-
building Of the destroyed areas in
France; and that France undertakes

ten with adequate supplies of iron
from the Briey basin now occupied by

Nearly nine-tenths of the iron de-
posits OF the old German empire are

expect, II they a get the ore from
there, that their now idle factories In

opened and that they Will soon he
