gente Charles Philippe_ poate
one of the intellectual and oratorical
elite of

of the French Legion of Honor, in a
flying visit to Toronto lost no time in
putting his case before the board of
trade. “I have come,” said he, “to

Canadian exhibition train to Great
Britain. Nothing, as we proved in
France, is better calculated to awak-
en curiosity, the most powerful of
human interests. The .man who
knows how to harness human interest
is master of the world.”” .

That train, or rather motor caravan,
would harness English curiosity | as the
hydro- -electric harnesses Niagata, and
would flash the magic word “Canada”
unforgetably on all England as on a
gigantic ‘billboard. a

“I am confident,” said he, “that in
Canadian goods to Great Britain by
100 million dollars.”

To make the Englishman visualize
Canada and its varied resources he
would put in, some central spot in Eng-
land an immense diorama of Canada,
400 feet long if necessary.

“ft would show,” said-he, “the Atlan-
tie and Pacific coasts, with the char~

each province, the commerce on the
St. Lawrence and great lakes, the gold;
fields of Ontario and Quebec, the wide
prairies full of golden waving grain,
the mountains, the forests, orehards
and fisherles of B.C. We could-even
put in the Arctic Ocean and show the
s0- called barren lands covered with
_ herds. of “reindeer or oyibos.

“Then I would have a rheostat to
flash on Golden lights to show the
location of eyery gold mine in Canada,

mine, and so on with our pulp mills
and great industrial areas. Words)
are soon forgotten, but pictures never
fade from the memory. Once an Eng-

lishman saw such “a map he could
never forget Canada for he would
really have seen it. Such a large
scale appeal to human curiosity would
he worth 1,000 emigration speeches.”

Helps To Increase Income

Farmers Are Realizing Value of Keep-
ing Accurate Accounts

The problem of increasing his I-
come is one which every man contin-
nally faces, but with the steady
trend of population toward urban
centres with consequent rise in
gross income to the individual, the
problem may now be said to affect the
farmer in a peculiar way. One of the
means by which the farmer may en-
large his earning power ,was recently
explained by J. §. Donald, farm man-
agement demonstrator at the Wiscon-
, Sir College of Agriculture. He-is of |
the opinion that the keeping of accur-
ate farm accounts will greatly aid the
farmer in enlarging his returns.

“A number of farmers are keeping
farm accounts,” he said, “and of
course, know thelr yalue. A much
larger nuniber are not keeping such
accounts: or an, _systematic record
of thelr farm business and so do
not appreciate the value of Breounene
records. :

“Every progressive farmer who ts
trying to improve his income will wel-
come any method which will show
him briefly and with little trouble his
actual net Income for his own time,
after deducting all expenses including
family labor. If he’feels that a farm
account will tell him too’ much bitter
truth, and would rather not know how’
much he Is losing, he may be making

a mistake. Many farmers have been
encouraged to find that they were!
making something. “when ~they

thought they were losing.”
