ST. VALENTINE’S DAY!
What delightful memories it
brings to those who have
older grown, what thrills and
hopes to the younger!
There is none too young to
feel the throb of the gentle
passion; none so old but that
his memory goes back to the
day when he first slipped sly
ly beneath his youthful
sweetheart’s door a token of
his tender feelings for her.
“ ‘Tis better to have loved
and lost than never to have
loved at all,” wrote the poet,
and it is true, whether the loss
be that of the lover who has
seen his sweetheart throw her
self into the arms of a rival
swain, or who has stood by
her bier in the later years to
say a last farewell.. In either
case the mellowing influences
of love leave their tender
memories, and life is made up
of memories. Memories bright
en life’s dark corners, afford
solace to the wounded heart
and are the things dreams art
made of.

BACK TO NORMAL
Premier quotations, after
weeks of depression, are back
to normal, reports from south
ern markets disclose. This is as
it should be and the news is
gratifying. Although for a
time loath to believe that such
could be the case, we can no
longer doubt that the slump
was due almost if not entirely
to misrepresentative reports
published by an unscrupulous
brokerage concern in the south
regarding conditions at the
mine. That these discrediting
reports were based upon the
mere word of a discharged and
consequently disgruntled form
er member of the Premier
staff, whose every word be
trayed his enmity toward the
mine management, is not only
a sufficient commentary on
their reliability but also
stamps as utterly unscrupulous
and untrustworthy those who
gave them publicity. The stock
investing public could not be
expected to know this, and, as
a result, lent ready assistance
to the scheme to dispossess
them of their holdings.
During the extended period
of depression Premier stock
quotations reached the lowest
level attained since the inaug
uration of the company, de
spite the fact that the Premiei
is one of the largest dividend
paying mines in Canada and
its daily output of 800 tons is
the largest in the mine’s hist
ory.

IT WAS AN EYESORE ONCE.
The hitching post has taken
its place with those other de
parted symbols of an older civ
ilization, the hansom cab, the
cigar store wooden Indian, the
watering trough and the livery
'table. Those \j’ho have lived
o see towns grow from a vil
lage of the horse-age to cities
jf the motor-age and those
who have migrated from vil
lage to city will remember the
>ld hitching post with its iron
horsehead, or the hitching
■ail in front of the general
store in front of which Old
Dobbin and the mare-impati
cnt to start for home—had
stamped deep hollows in the
earth, which formed mudholes
a greater part of the year.
Yes, now that the hitching
post is passing into obsoles
cence and extinction there is
sentiment and romance attach
ed to it. How different was
nan’s reaction to it while it
iominated vilage curbs! As
long as there was a hitching
oost or rail in front of every
store and before the more pre
.entious houses they were com
monly considered eyesores and
traffic (pedestrian) obstruct
ing. Like so many other
things nobody associated ro
mance or tradition with the
hitching post until it was in
disuse.
THE INTERLOCKING
WORLD
Since the rapid development
of modern methods of com
munication and transportation
the world has shrunk so that,
with the people of the earth
continually growing larger one
nation, be it ever so small and
apparently insignificant, can
not turn over, nor squirm, nor
stretch, nor jounce out an el
bow without jostling the other
nations. Indeed, the interlock
ing relationships have become
such a mazy network that it is
not merely the adjacent nat
ions on all sides which are af
fected by movement or move
ments of any given nation. But
if one nation progresses, if it
retrogrades, if it trembles with
a convulsion, or expands with
an effort or a development of
any kind, all other nations,
nearby and remote-even to the
uttermost parts of the earth
are affected.
If one country were the sole
producer or source of one nec
essary commodity and some
disaster should reduce that
production to nothing or wipe
out that source when the dis
tributed supply in other lands
should become exhausted the
world would be affected in
business and in living condit
ions by the famine in that one
commodity.
And the same principle ap
plies to nearly all articles of
trade. Drought in areas In
Asia has its effect on Ameri
can business; a strike in Eng
land has its effect upon busi
ness in South America; legis
lation touching certain lines in
America will mean much to
Australia. The nations cannot
live unto themselves—even in
business. And through other
interests the same principle
holds with perhaps less tang
ible grip but with no less cert
ainty of the fact. This is a
world of people of one race
)f humanity—an ever-shrinking
world as measured by natural
or invisible ties that bind the

this is true of flappers, too.
Civilization is a complicated

She’d black hair, I aver,
But now she has become a

talking about it again.

“I’ve been sitting on a horn

“and I’m afraid I’ve hurt the

Sis: Yes, how did you guess

When I was up in the mount

He told me he had just found
a treasure hidden inside.
"What is it?" I asked,
“Quartz?" “Naw" he whisper
