" GINGER UP

dlBoth in our times of prosperity and adversity their is-too often, n.

tendency to "let well enough

alone", the idea. being that when sldtrereity comes things will event- ually right themselves and when prosperity comes lt will continue.

Monotony, either in prosperity or

in adversity should be broken up before it becomes a dead level of

stagnation, for even prosperity nihy become stagnant and lifeless.

In the business of this province we know little of adversity. Business as usualhan ever been the rule and one year differs but. little from another year. We lffllve never spent sleepless nights wondering if our crops were going to be destroyed by a frost before morning; we have never seen our grain fields plowed up by a hail storm. Our crops when sown are assured and our average yield has been practically unchanged in the past several generations.

in our commercial life one year follows another with practically

the same average volume of busi- ness, with a slight variation pos- sibly in the amount of profit real- lied.

These l... healthy conditions. There is perhaps no crying need for change and yet change is some- times necessary to ensure even a continuance of prosperity. There is need to occasionally “ginger up".

'Thl.s, we imagine, is the origin of our "Dollar Days", our special “bargain days,“ our "exhibition displays" and the other devicm frequently lnade use of t0 attract special attention to the good things that are available every day of the year hut which the Tmonotonous sameness causes us sometimes to overlook.

Special occasions, exceptional displays, big discount sales are real attractions and serve to awak- en us from the lethargy of just buying the things we cannot do without and selling things that people will buy anyway.

-——-—¢o>-—-- POULTRY FARMING

To those who see the undeveloped possibilities of this province the fact

poultry raising as an exclusive oc- cupation seems out of harmony with our ordinary activities. carrying flocks oi one or two hun- of good laying strains admit that they are the most profit- able stock on the farm. a never failing market at good uric- es for both eggs then, a flock of one hundred hens is profitable why should not a flock oi a thousand or five thousand be pro- portionately profitable? znutrt-r for the consideration of our ambitious young men who are look» ing tr: far off fields farming.

It has been joeularly pointed out

e J- l. III-melt, manor and Publisher that Edgar Allan Poe's wall-known - ll- K- Oink, Aaaoelatr Editor

poim entitled ‘I'll, Bells‘ seema to be more or less descriptive of‘ '- certain government that has ob- tallied recent notoriety in this Pro- vince. Therein no doubt a simi- larity of memo. but some may quea- tion whether the gifted author of this musical jingle was so far glit- ed with the prophetic spirit that he could describe a government that only “me into being three

passed out of _iife. Yet who can tell? The poem may have been a

prophecy that has been followed by fulfilment.

The bella described, and whose melodies and messages are inter- preted in the poem are oi four dif- lerent kinds, sleigh bells. wedding bells, fire bells and funeral bells in the order named. Each has its own distinctive message. Here the read- er will at once recall the fact that the Bell Government orchestra had {our principal performers and also that it had tour well defined stages oi existence, each corresponding with one o! the four years of its

011M112 ilie. Thus the marks of identifica- to is that all should interest them-

lion accumulate.

First we have the merry music oi the sleigh boils. That was in i919. the first year and the most promis- ing year of the Bell concert. “Sliver bells! What a worldot‘ merrimcnt their melody foretelis! How they tinkie, tinkie, tinkle in the icy air of night, while the stars that over- sprinkle all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight; and so on. It era-s indeed a merry time. The Bell coterie had won an election and were on their way to divide the spoils, dancing in their joy, "to the tintinabulation that so musically swells from the ibells. bells, beils——from the jingllng and the tiukllng of the bells."

The next stage la that of "the merry wedding belle, golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!" the, poet sings. Thisis the 19340 stage. The elect had gathered from the four quar- ters of the Island to settle down and keep house together in verit- able connublsl lbiiss. There they liited up their voices in a chorus 0i mutual admiration. The poet has well described the rarpture of the moment: "Oh, from out the sounding cells, whatagushof euph- ony voluminously swells! How it swells! How it dwells on the fut- ure! How it tells of the rapture that lmpeis to the swinging and the ringing of the ‘bells, bells, ‘bells —to the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!"

But the bells change their tone quickly, for next we “hear the loud slarum bells-brazen bells! ~What a tale of terror now their turbul- ency tells! iln the startled ear of night how they scream out their aifriglltL... tHorw they clang, and clash and roar . . . . in tho jungl- ing . . . in the clamor and the clangor of the ibelis!" Surely the reader will here recognize the stage at which the great betrayal was unmasked, the doubled taxes laicl on, the indignation meetings that boiled and bubbled in the coun- try and the stormy caucuses that told of feuds and quarrels at head- quarters.

The last of the series of Mil mes- sages in the poem telii of “tolling belleAron belle! What a world of solemn thought their monody com- pels! In the silence of the night how we shiver with aifrlght at the melancholy menace of their tone! For every sound that floats from the rust within their throats is a groan.” 8o the last scene of all in this eventful history, the crushing defeat of the Bell Government on 26th July last, was thus foreshadow- ed and described. "ln the throbbing of the bells, lathe sobbing oi’ the bells. in the rolling oi the bells, in the toiling of the bells, in the moaning and the groaning of the bells!"

The perceptive reader or the poem will not have failed to notion other marks of identification in the life and death story of this gov- ernment of Bell's. For instance, that of the typical classes two had early become silent-the merry, sil- ver sleigh belis and the happy, gol- den wedding bellsflbefore the braz- en bells of alarm, and the tolling bells of defeat began to sound. Strange prescienco oi‘ the poet to foresee that the joy bells which

put where theIBell government was put a few weeks ago and that

after that business will be resumed as usual and incomes be worth taxing. Yea, we have no incomes
