The street car con­ ductor got off to investigate and collect evidence for his official report. ♦ 4 NEW FEEDS ♦ At this time when the prices of mill stuffs are abnormal we have cast about us in an effort to secure if possible some substi- tutes for the regular feeds you have always used, which we can sell to you at a lesser price. We have been successful in securing three articles on which you can affect a saving, and which we will be glad to show you and have you try. They are our “ White U. S. Chop", “Oat and Harley Shorts” and “ Soya Bean Meal” which is a substitute for linseed meal. * + 4 4 “ What’s the matter with you?” the conductor asked the driver— “ Don’t you know you can’t run under a street car with your top up.” ♦ + + ♦ 4 * + 4 ♦ 4 ♦ ♦ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ♦ 4 4 4 4 Living comfortably within our means is at all times advisable but at this time there seems no occasion for the people to become needlessly alarmed and the wis­ est thing for them to do is to go on living in the normal way to which they have been accustom­ ed and to begin unusual econo­ mizing retrenchment when they find it really necessary to do so. Otherwise there will be great danger of slowing: down industry generally and closing down of mills and other producing factors, which would bring about a de­ moralization of business, and this is just the opposite of what is desired at the present time.
