Substantial increases in custom.-^, excise and income tax collections were shown for the month of July compared with the .same n-onth lu.st year, it was announced last week by Hon. R. C. Matthews, .Minister of National l{eveiiue. Total revenue for the respective months was ?21,G0I),263, and $21,190,548, showing ii net increase of $3,118,715. Cus- toms receipts totalled $.'j,i)00,;il4, in- crease $705,C2C; excise taxes $10,G34,- 700, increase $745,564; excise dulie;! $4,141,078, increase $GGi),068; income tax ?:J,8G2,668, increa.se $304,125; sundry collections totalled $70,504. During the first four months of the present fiscal year customs, excise and income tax revenue amounted to $117,908,072. This shows a net in- crease of $19,325,468, compared with the same months of 1933. Customs receipts increased by $7,596,099; ex- cise receipts by $10,823,496; income lax receipts by $927,393. Local and Personal New Bills To Be Smaller Those who have become stoop- shouldered from carrying around pocketsful of paper money will hail with fflee the Ottawa announcement that the new Bank of Canada notes â€"shortly to be issued in denomina- tions ranping from $1 to $50,000 oi thereabouts â€" will be much smallei than our present greenbacks. Small- er, in fact than the dwarfed currency of United States. There'll be con- fusion at first. The Bank of Can- ada money is designed to take the place of today's Dominion and chart- ered bank notes, but the business ot changringr over will occupy several years. Eventually, however, the new bills, shrunken in size but not in value will completely supplant the old. Then we can straighten up once more â€"Border Cities' Star. Business worth having is worth going after. Words dropped from the average vocabulary in 1916 and now likely to be revived include "Scuttle of suds," "s.chooner" and other old familiar titles. The "bar," however is now the "beverage room." $UB STORB â- Bsnoi F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

MAKE A WILL Among the varied educational cam- j)aigns, is one giving every man and every woman a reminder of the duty of making a will and of appointing competent and responsible executors. The importance of this should be plain, yet thousands die yearly with- out leaving wills. Under the circum- stances, their property is disposed ol according to laws which cannot un- dertake to deal with the families in accordance with individual require- ments. Frequently injustice results with much suffering entailed. Thi' emphasizes the duty of making a will. Men and v/or;en should realiz^ that only in thi.-i v.'ay can their es- tates be distriboted as they should wish. The chief trouble, however, is simp- ly neglect. Some, who realize their duty to have their wills drawn, keep putting off the discharge of it to "another time." But a fatal accident, or a sudden illness affecting theii minds and rendering them mentally incompetent to the end may occur and, obviously, make it impossible to re- pair the neglect. While the normal expectation of those in their prime is to live "to three score and ten" oi more, it is only common sense and common prudence to recognize the un- certainty of life. Although the drawing of a will nat- urally takes into consideration the certainty of the coming of death some time to the testator, it should constantly be kept uppermost that the whole purpose of the instrument is the service of life; the care of the "dear ones" of the decedent who re- main behind, or the cause of human- ity in general. The drawing of a will ought to be recognized as a thing not to be "put off." THE PROPER CARE OF YOUR AUTOMOBILE Care of the Finish ^^ ALL aatomobile finishes become dull and faded when they are exposed to the weather for a few months. The ultra-violet rays of the snn gradually disintegrate the film-forminjf ingredients in the finish, causing the loosening of tiny particles of pigment. Commonly called chalking or weathering, this resnlts in the roughening of the originally smooth and glossy finish. "These tiny particlies of pi^ent. together with an accnmulation of dnst and dirt gather on tie surface of the car, forming a thin hard coating which we call "traffic film." It is a mistake to believe, how- ever, that when this film has formed over the finish caosing it to appear dtdl and faded, that the only thing that will bring it back is re-finirfi- Lng. Of course, if the weathering has been permitted to progress, until it has penetrated throu^ to the un- dercoats, re-finishing is necessary, but just as long as there is a layer of the original finish on the cw,,it can be restored by pplvjlsinj. Most cars just need the removal of the traffic film, and the application of a correctly formulated poli^, to renew the Itatre of the finish.
