_ CliARLOTTFTOWN’S DOLLAR DAY
The decision of the newly formed branch of the Retail
Merchants Association to hold a Dollar Day ina\.\E\ll‘l1l95 9 new era in business enterprise which should be fully appre- ciated by our readers. lt means that the merchants are combined to celebrate a bargain anniversary for the spec- ial benefit of their country customers. These Dollar DBYB have proved very popular and highly successful in Ontario and elsewhere throughout the Dominion. Mr. H. R. Donly. editor of the Simcoe Reformer writes as follows of the event there:
“The weather turned out favorable, and the roads were
better than fair.
“Tile general opinion is that we had the biggest buying
crowd ever in Simcoe. Practically all of our advertisers are pleased with the results; many are delighted.
“You may possibly know that we have in Simcoe one
overshudowing store. that of the Fails Company. It is really a fine shop. Mr. Falls told me last night they had had con- siderably the biggest day in their history and l happen to know that they have had some pretty fat ones. At three o'clock they took a census of their building. it contained n stuff of 48 people and 711 customers. Guess that will hold some towns for a while.”
At Fredericton the Retail Merchants’ Association gave
strong support to the movement. March 10 was the date selected. in a letter to Printer and Publisher from the Daily Gleaner the following information is given:
“Every business in Fredericton benefited by Dollar Day.
lt was most satisfactory and cash turnover in the majority of cases was larger than any one day in the Christmas Shopping Season. Our merchants are all well pleased.”
Newcastle is another New Brunswick town that did not
overlook Dollar Day. On March 18 crowds of shoppers thronged the stores and merchants did s. record business.
“Wingham merchants had more customers than they
could wait on," is the way Wingham Advance refers to Dollar Day held at Wingham. Prizes were given for the best horse and team in town on Dollar Day, also for the largest family, the person driving longest distance, perlon making largest cash purchases, e¢c.
March 6 was Dollar Day in Cayuga. March 19 and 20
was Dollar Dny i11 the plural at (fsmpbellford. March 3 was the big day i11 Galt, whilst Parry Sound choose St. Patrick's Day. Wetaskiwin, Alberta, celebrated on February 27 and Barrie had "Twin Shopping Days" 011 February 26 and 27.
February 17 was the day selected for Dollar Day in
Norwood and although it happened to fall on the same day as Peterborough Dollar Day, owing to a postponement of he latter, the event was a tremendous success from every point of view. Their first experience with Dollar Day brought forth favorable expressions of opinion from the Norwood merchants. The farmers come in from miles around und took advantage ofthe special inducements offer- ed by the merchants.
A specisl inducement that appeals to farmers and their
families and which applies particularly to Dollar Day is what might be termed “the community spirit"-the desire to make use of the opportunity to meet one's friends from some other district and have a friendly chat about things of common interest.
After Wednesday the Guardian hopes to be able to re-
port that the farmers in their thousands took advantage o1` the Dollar Day offer and that the merchants had an abundant harvest as the result of their enterprise.
EFFICIENCY
The world is to-day witnessing a demonstration in
efficiency such as perhaps has never before been witnessed, one nation in arms against. practically, the world, and up to now able to hold it off. Leaving out of the question the treachery and the barbarity; the Judas kiss of friend- ship with which the nations of Europe were lulled into false security while Germany was preparing in secret to strike a deadly blow; leaving out all the accursed methods with which she followed up her treachery, Germany‘s efficiency in the task she has undertaken is u marvellous thing, and the value to her of that efficiency is now apparent. For eleven months she has defied all Europe and extorted, by» sheer force of efficiency, a nation’s ransom from her enemies. With her borders closed against all lmportatlons and exportstions, her commerce driven from the seas, confined within her own borders and the strips of territory snatched from her enemies, she has been able so far to feed and clothe herself, to keep up nn apparentlyi inexhaustlble supply of war necessities and to keep the enemy outside of her borders.
We have nothing to learn from Germany, and God
forbid that we should learn anything from her, except the value of that one quality, efficiency. This she has develop- ed to an amazing degree, to a degree that, had it been properly directed, would have made heir a happy. useful and Dl‘0BlJerous nation, a world power of which the world would have been proud, But she had sown the seeds of selfishness with her efllclency. and those seeds have pro. duced the harvest which is now being reaped, a harvest of blood-and tears and sorrow to the world and of shame and contempt and ultimate ruin to herself. Through all the ages to come the word German will be a reproach, and Germanism will stand for all that is low and contemptlble.
The fact that Germany has thus stained her soul does
not detract anything from the wonderful efficiency she has developed. nor does it in any way impair for us the value of the lesson she has given us in efficiency. One of the crying needs of our day is efficiency. We In these prog. perous Cpnadlan provinces, and more especially, perhaps, in our own province, have grown careless. We have. in a comparatively few years, grown prosperous, and in the wake of our prosperity have come carelessness, short cuts to wealth, hosts to get rich. Our young men no longer aerve an apprenticeship to any trade or nrt. From g¢||oo| they go direct to moneymaklng. The clerk enters the store an a salesman, not as a choreboy as did thvolplaina or
given place to the elllclecy of the machine. The daily wage, not efllclency. has become the goal and we measure succsu by the standard of the former.
These things must be changed lf we are to keep up
with modern progress. The world la moving on, a rapid' pace has been set, and only the eiilclent can keep up with the procession. A~brilllant spurt may carry us along for a
l
time. but endurance to the end comda. only of efficiency.
il ln the forward movement now in progress in our
schools, in our agricultural edueatlo_n,_ in our new com- mercial life the quality of efllciency should more and more be insisted upon and while we learnt from the Germans the value of efficiency we shall learn from them also the necessity of guarding that etllclency from the curse of sel- fishness and greed. _. -

With the receipt ol' authentic reports of the deaths and
permanently wounded at the front the Dominion Govern- `ment has taken up consideration of the scheme for the ud- mlnisiratlon of the pension fund. Boards of medical men are to be appointed in every military division of Canada. Already between 300 and 350 pensions have been granted, most of them being for the families of dead soldiers. It is already apparent that the .sum of $2,000,000 set aside for pensions this year will be quite insufficient for the pur- pose. lf more is needed before another session of Parlia- ment it may be obtained by Governor-General's warrant. The establishment of medical boards in the different divis- ions will materially assist in the work of paying pensions which is expected to reach large proportions. Reports will be sent from these medical boards to the pensions board in Ottawa which will then pass on each case. Where a man is temporarily incapacitated the practice so far has been to pay him his regular active service pay until he re- covers. When it is evident, however, that the injury will outlast the war the man is put on the pension list at once. The problem of caring for convaiescents is expected to prove one of the heaviest burdens of the war and action will shortly be taken to deal specially with it.

lMPROVED SUBMARINE
`
lludson Maxim has invented a new position indicator
for submarines, which he is convinced will prove much cheaper and far more effective than the indicators HOW lil use. This instrument, he says, will enable a. submarine to find her own position under water without the necessity of having to rise to the surface to make observations with the perlscope, a most dangerous proceeding. So true is the device that an officer may locate his vessel's whereabouts on a. map within a hundred feet or so. If this invention lives up to expectations, the submarine carrying it will be possessed of n great advantage over other vessels. Next the world may hear of an implement that will enable the undersea boat to discover another vessel’s exact where- abouts without rising, and perhaps of a seachllght cap- able of piercing the gloom beneath the surface. Then the submarine will be a far deadlier machine of destruction than at present. it is in its infancy, but keen brains and skilled hands are helping it to grow.

Montreal Journal of Commerce:-Since mining first
commenced in Alaska in 1880 that country has produced $286,000,000 worth of minerals, of which $224,000,000 has been in gold, $20,000,000 in copper, $2,200,000 in silver, and the balance in coal, tin, lead, petroleum, etc. Last year the total mineral output of Alaska was $19,248,000, as compared with $19,416,000 in 1913. Uncle Sam, who bought Alaska from Russia for 11 mere song, certainly got 11 bargain.

It is pleasing to note that Turkey is giving a few ob-
ject lessons in humanity, if not in christianity, to the Huns. The worship of Allah, and the adoration of his prophet, Mahomet, is, after all, for nearer akin to the worship of the Almighty than is that of the gods, Odin and Thor, whom Britons, too, paid adoration to in their far-off days of savagery.

Straws show which way the wind is blowing. British
prisoners are now being treated ln a much better manner in.Gsrmany. The American ambassadors report places this beyond all doubt. The fire-eating Count von Reventlow, who has been breathing defiance of everything and every~ body, and has especially distinguished himself by defending the sinking of the Lusitanla, has been bottled up by the German Government and the paper in which he wrote has been suspended. Germany, apparently, is beginning to real- ize that after all .sho is not going to rule the world, and, failing this, does not relish tho idea of being looked on as an outlaw nation. t

If the War is _costing $33,000,000, or $15,000,000 daily,
the sum is a stupendous one. but it is well within the an- nual income. The gross amount of income from which income tax was derived in the year 1911-12 was £1,070,122,- 343, or something over five and a, quarter billions of dol- lars. Thus the three million pounds sterling daily repre- sents the daily income of the wealthier classes, without 10110111118 the capital. If silver bullets count-and they will Count l“°l`€llBll\8ly as the weeks roll by,-Brltain's supply, if not exhaustless, is lncomparably great. But let the War cost what it will, the national assets in gold as well as in manhood will be freely given for the national salvation and in defence of human rights.
