THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916. . THE MARKED BILL. Qnite frequently in the past this paper has brought to the attention of its readers how much: it means to this or any town for its people to do all, or as much as possible, of its deal- “ing at home. Redcliff should be in a com- partively flourishing condition at the present time. Two of our industries are. working night and day and two. others, al- thoug not running at full capac- ity, are in operation. There is not an idle man in town, and all things being considered, we have a very substantial monthly pay roll. * Of course we know that a very unfortunate ‘staté of af- fairs exists in that a large per- centage of the laborers em- ployed are foreigners; men who have not their’ wives and chil- dren here with them, and, as a result, send the bulk of their ' money out of town to their fam- ilies. Under present conditions this cannot very well be avoided if the wheels of industry are to be kept in motion. There is no one else to do. the work. Most of our own men are wearing the khaki. But what about = our own people who are here and who should be interested ‘in ‘building’ up the town in which they dre making ‘their living? Are they doing their share to help build up the town by deal- ing at home or are they helping to build up some other town or city by sending their money away? We fear the number of money orders and express or- ders sent out of here daily an- swers the question. There is nothing to it. We cannot expect conditions to im- prove so long as we do not prop- erly use the means which tend to that improvement. We might write columns in support of the principal of dealing at home but -the following story. covers the ground very nicely. . A man had a five-dollar bill which he marked. On Saturday night he took it to the local mer- chant and spent it. The follow- ing Wednesday he got the same bill back again for some work he had done, Thursday he spent it again in the same store and Saturday he got it back again. On Monday he sent it to a mail order house and he has never seen that bill since. That was seyen years ago. hat five-dollar bill instead of doing its little bit to build up its home town is now performing a similar mission in some far away field. ki rrr CHILD’S PLAY. The action of the Medicine Hat hotel men in signing a com- pact to close their hotels be- cause they could not get con-| cessions from the city, looks’ to us from this distance like a piece of child’s play. We do not think for a moment that a hotel which is losing money every, day should be kept open simply to accommodate the travelling pub- lic, but because one or two or three are losing money is no rea- son why they should all close down and leave the city in such a miserable condition. There is no doubt that even under prohibition two or three hotels in a place the size of Medi- cine Hat could be made to pay and the ones in a position to give it a fair trial should have stayed ' in the-game, ‘ Although they are putting the travelling public to considerable ‘THE REDCLIFF REVIEW incon viéeilanos and giving . ithe | town a black eye,. the hotelmen will find that conditions will soon right themselves and they will never be missed. As soon as there is a demand for any line of business the ager is not long in coming the rescue. Already the situation is partial- ly solved, for, now , travelling men are coming to Redeliff to spend the night and are motor- ing into the Hat for business. SE ee A GOOD SELECTION. Although . nomination day passed off very quietly last Mon- day good selections were made to fill the vacancies on both ‘the council and the school board. For the council Mr. Howard’s experience as an accountant should prove quite an assistance in helping keep the town’s af- fairs in good shape, as he is _ al- ready conversant with them and with the twon’s standing in all branches. Mr. McLean is also interésted in the town to a considerable extent and is one of its biggest ratepayers, Because of this it will be to his interests as well as in the interests of the town at large to see that its af- fairs are conducted as economic- ally as possible. Besides his ability and experience well fits him for the position. Z The selection of Dr. Brown for the school board is also a very satisfactory one. As well as being interested in educa- ‘tional matters his professional training should be an assistance to the board in looking after the health and comforts of our chil- dren, .-Most important of all the newly elected members are men of good judgment whom we are satisfied will work harmoniously together for the general welfare jof the town. \ LOOKS TO.THE SCHOOL. The Conservation Bulletin, a paper issued by the Conserva- tion Commission of Canada, has an article in its -last-issue deal- ing with the very apparent lack of acurate bookkeeping on the average farm. The article points out that no account is kept of the expenses in connec- tion with the different articles produced or the revenue derived from the different sources. Be- couse of this few farmers do not know in what lines they are making money or in what. they are This, it claims, is very un- business-like and in some cases may result in wasted energy. The paper looks to the ¢hil- dren and our schools as a means of remedying this state of af- fairs. It suggests correlating school subjects with practical life on the farm. long this line the article says: : “In rural and village schools, particularly, the interest of chil- dren in their school work should |be aroused and held by its inti- mate contact with agriculture. A few suggestions are offered herewith for impressing upon the pupils the utility value of the subjects taught- In connection with the teach- ling of arithmetic the following topics might be used As.a basis for problems and general in- struction: Neat methods of compiling ‘farm records, e.g-, milk and egg |production, receipts and ex- penses, time sheets, ete,, these records will form the basis for numerous problems. “Cost .of production, rent, labor, wear and tear of machin- ery, marketing of farm pro- ducts, computation of profits; mensuration of fields, wood- piles,“ lumber, ice-houses, etc. ; invoices, cheques, receipts and commercial forms; taxation; mortgages, : The teaching of reading and the study of literature offer ex- ceptional opportunities for arousing the interest of the pupil.

The new order includes mainly six-inch and nine-point-inch- inch shells, So far Canada has delivered a little more than ~ $200,000,000 worth of shells, At the present time deliveries are averaging nearly $10,000,000 worth a day, By the end of the year the output will be at least $35,000,000 worth a month. About $300,000,000 worth of orders are now in process of being filled by some 4,000 Canadian firms. The new fuse making plant established near Montreal is now in satisfactory operation and Canada can now produce for Great Britain more than a score of thousand of shells every day, all ready for the ar- tillery at the front to fire, ‘Greek Settlers Bring. $50,000 to Canada The latest group of settlers for Al- berta to arrive from the United States is a party of 20 Greeks from Mason City, Iowa, who have just gone west on the Canadian Northern, They are going to settle at Marlborough, Alta,, where they alreay have frignds.
