Possibly this column gets a little too preachy some timfi but sometimes we manage to hit the spot and someone tells US about it. It feels good to be told when things are a tittle bettt than usual. Much joy is missed in this life because people forget to pass out a little praise. They are pretty sure to pass out the knocks. That is firstly in the sermonette. For secondly, here is something clipped which is pretty much to the point : Learn to smil"' generou.-l in all of your bisiness transactions. Don't take yourself or others too criouly. Don't get mixed up with the crazy idea that the late of the universe rests upon your shoulders Many believe that if liarriman had taken time to indulge more often in laughter, he probably would be alive today, lie killed himse'! by overwork, unrelieved by frequent doses of relaxation and laughter. James J. Hill was much wiser and wittier and reached a ripe old age. J. Ogden Armour, once said- -"1 would give a million dc liars to have Charlie Schwab's smile." Theodore N. Vail took great pride in his company's slogan-"The voice with the smile wills." And any number of executives have been helped over some mighty rough places by that sensible little desk motto- "Smile, darn you, smile." John Wanamaker said in a speech a few years ago--"One can throw a stone or a word that may leave a thistle in a life, or he may give out a smile or a handshake that will be the beginning of a flower garden in the life it ioes to." Think it over. Beware of the business ruts'that beckon you on every hand and to. which you can gain admission unexpectedly without a pass or a ticket. Shun theso dangerous places as you would the ravages of a atlone, by being a persistent searcher for more knowledge, and a living Interrogation point. Work always with an open heart and an oerj m.Inil Chart your course so you will travel every day towards better and bigger things. Then you will be prepared to look wilh scqrn Upon anything that smacks of indecency, of lying, of injustice, of unfairness. So 1 make a plea for bigger and better things, I can safely tell you they will not be accomplished without bigger men "men with empires in their purposes and new ideas in their brains." We mutt quit thinking little thoughts and start , our minds working overtime o;i the things that are big and wholesome and constructive. We have got to recognize that education is the solvent of all of bur Ills and not only seek to expand its influence, but also make use of every opportunity to apply it to ourselves as individuals. LDAUNINti ENCI.ISH When living in a country it is best to speak the language of that country and to speak it as fluently as possible. The person who does not do so is immediately sot down as a foreigner. .ln Canada there ar two official languages, English and French, but th a,ll the provinces except Quebec, English is the official language and it must be learned if the citisen is to make the most of his ciyzejisbip- To t peak broken Unglish is a great handicap as is also disability to read English. In Prince Rupert there are people from many nations. We have a large Scandinavian population, some Greeks, Belgians, French, Dutch, Italians, Syrians, Armenian, Itusslanx, German, Japanese and Chinese, and this does not exhaust the list. All have to do business in English and not to be able to do it caukes hardship to the foreign resident and annoyance to the Canadian. Efforts an nnd? to teach English to some of these, but it is a matter for the new arrival to take up. Sometimes a man will be able to speak English but his wife speuks the home language. That means means tbat that the the husband husband never never really really learns learns . English well because he sneaks the6tHoK at HpirK jo learn a speak it a'ghfld deal of the time, preferably f 1 We BUgge.it, then, to newcomers who lang language it is necessary to all the time. do J not speak English or who speak It only indifferently, that they speak it in their homes and teach their children to do the same. A great many do this al ready but others do not. . SICKNESS AN I) MENTALITY fttlmonton newspanelv just to haiVfl Hay lhat whooping cougllnri OJher children's sicknesses fell away to almost nothing during the holidays. Of course they did. Children have not time (o Kg Jlck a,t Christmas. Adults have not time to be sick when they irtfveiy V$y If they like their work. Sickness may be a physical 3 saWULf ii It i in most cases caused by a mental condition.

Dally News: As we are about to receive a visit and an address' from one of our Peace River neighbors on the subject of the proposed new province. I wish to briefly run over the ground and advance some of the features that appear to me to be strong points in favor of Canada's pre posed tenth province. First; is tt)e orcpotal sound or has such a tMatf (teen deaa baSorev- H so. for what reason? It is my understanding that the states of Dakota and Carolina were divided into north and south states. I would imagine from the same experience we are witnessing. A large area of land where one portion through advance set tlement gains control and uses the rest for the purpose of exploitation. Quite naturally self Interest appeala to most people the world over. British Columbia contains two hundred and eighty thousand square miles of territory extending from latitude- 49 to W, and Its vested voting strength Is mostly all south of latitude 58. Little wonder that north of that line finds I Thr question now arises, will Province No. 10 Keed up settlement and develop, ment of our latent resources, thus bringing to a realisation the dreamt of 1807 to 1?3? In my humble judgment I would aty Province No. 10 would have the same effect In promoting develop-nent of Its domain as the prairie farmers have shown in expsnston and de velopment alnce they took control of the business end of the nwketing of their produce. That alone will show that robbery is a poor thing for the robbed to condone and that people ar not as apt to steal from themselves a others are from them. Then again let us consider merit or demerit in the administration of affairs In B.C. ou Ito present baatv When tb Q.T. P. was under construction and the then thought great terminal of Prince Rupert was the household word of all In the gait as well as the West, the politicians and railway protuotsrs got busy. The Canadian Northertwmust be extended .to Vancouver. The P.O.E. mutt be built from Vancouver eastward, the province iz endorse the bonds. Afaa there any new territory to apeak Of qnsuett by the Canadian Northern? The C.P.R. runs dawn one bank of the Thompson River, the C.N.H. the other.
