Certainly it would ! far better for the health mid happiness of the (ierman in tcrned in thin cotiutn to ! engaged In oul ol door labor than to be confined within pris ii wjiIIs.

While Ontario lias been disetissinu the ni'iil for, ami the advisability of obtaining, a eauuing faetori It appears that Kruitland has iii.iii'ili il ti. acquire just that rerj thiiiL. roiirse thr Kiiburb on the idalm dde lias an iidvantttgi in lieing two mill i nearer the hulk ill tin fruit mul Hinall timet garden region, but bad Ontario a year or more ago artaeu to it iMiasibilitics thet would have been im uecd lor the Prultlaud venture. Tin- Argiut doea not know, whether, with tin' Pruitland camierti established that (here is room for another ueh inatitutioii iuj the valley. There will be no doubt when tin" land ti thr weal ami smith of Ontario, ami Dead Plat Is as Intensely cultivated ;i is thai regl n tin Idaho bench about Pruil liiml. After seeing Friiitland quietly proceed in i tii it an iiidiist n which the buoiness men of Ontario liave loug talked about qiiiriuu. this i 1 1 nhoidd be arouaed to exert tself. What is true of a canning factory may be time of souu1 of the other things ;i limit which Outariaiis have dreanuH) ami talked during the ast feu years. It slmiild hImi i niiliaii tin rart that tin niily way to hnl ; "U w.mi in to get it white elephant on the hands of the uufortuii ,iii owner. It Is also time that usually the owner ol business property is a man of wealth and one who is presumed t" haVe faith In his com muuity or be would not have invested in Its ic.'il nutate ami hough! or erected business blocks. What would li' more natural then than tn believe thai such a man would be a leader in every movement I'm the upbuilding of tin industries on which his home town is depending upon for existence. Would not self interest dictuti such a com By promoting Industries which would add tu thr population ami thus Increase tin unmix r of K'fsolis with whom the hut chants could il" busini m his reward would come with i iiIi.'iihtiI raluntioiu and greatei ili'in.'iinl for property.

There is another phase of the same ques tion. While the welfare of a community la close tn the heart it' every mercantile man ami the established reputation of his tirui is a liu business asset, vet when the WOml cornea to worot he etui move his goods, be can aaerifiec profita and clean-up his stink ami seek other Hclda, while the lllilll With busincaa property on his handa is bound to loose If the town falls behind In the i ea- sioii. Ontario's Commercial eluh in taking a in w lease on life indicates thai there is im desire oil the pari of Its membera to let the community slip back a suigle step, t hi true that i number of the members in the club are among those who have property inter eats and recognise their duty to themselves ami the community in furthering Ita object. However It must also ! admitted that this feeling la not as muuiimoua ai it should be. Why this is the ease the ArgUa does not pro fess to know, yt't it i I fait. Now is the time to change that condition and all unite for .i bigger and hitter Ontario by ohowiug the kind of faith in the community which will bring industries lure to employ labor furnish euotomera for the inerchanta and tenants for the empty store buildings, llll IHv.
