Short Talks onT~ . Advertisifrd No. 37. Once in a while some business man, by advertising in programmes, souvenirs and various other schemes, determines that "advertising doesn't pay," and forthwith begins to preach this doctrine. Several thousand years ago, a gentleman named told a little story that has a dis ! Srwft tinct application right here : }i " A fox was once caught in a trap by his tail, and, in order to get away, was forced to WY* jj) leave it behind. Knowingthat without a tail lie would be a laughing-stock for all his fellows, J reso ' VCf l to try to induce them to part with theirs. So at the next assembly of foxes, he made a speech on the unprofitableness of tails in general, and the inconvenience of a fox's tail in particular, adding that he had never felt ifan so cas y as he shice he had given up his i. c own. When he sat down, a sly old fellow rose, Several thousand years ago .

The administration's reciprocity agreement with Canada was submit ted to congress, with a special mes sage from President Taft urging its prompt enactment into law. The agreement was presented con currently to the Dominion parliament in Ottawa and within a few days bills will be introduced in the legislative body of each government designed to make the terms of the agreement. The concurrent legislation obviates the ne cessity of any negotiations on the subject between the two governments. Generally speaking, the agreement opens the markets of the United States to Canada's leading agricul tural products, notably wheat and oth er grain and also to her dairy pro ducts, fish, eggs and poultry, sheep, cattle and other live animals. Her rough lumber also is admitted duty free to the United States, as is her print paper and wood pulp and sev eral other raw materials. In return for these concessions Can ada takes down the bars altogether on cottonseed oil and American fruits and some other products and grants reduced duties on agricultural imple ments and other manufactured ar ticles. On the basis of results expressed in dollars and cents, Canada seems to have a little better of the argument In the agreement, although President Taft points out in his message that j the benefits to be derived by the Unit 'ied States cannot be computed in this j way at the present. The total value [ of articles now dutiable which the ['United States proposes to make fiee j under the agreement is $39,811,000, or i 76.4 per cent of the total dutiable im portatlons of Canada into the United States in the fiscal year 1911. The total value of articles now dutiable whlcb Canada orouoses to make free Is, on the oilier hand, only $16,958,- 000, which is 10.5 per cent of all the duiia'.ile imports into Canada from the United Stint's in the same year. The total amount of duties to be remitted uv the Uniied States under the agree ment is $4,550,000, as compared with J2,5C>:,000 with Canada. Aeroplane Rises From Water. The aeroplane has added another conquest to its long list of achieve ments on San Diego bay, Cal., when an aeroplane driven by Glenn Cur tiss arose from the surface of the bay, flew two miles, returned to the start ing place and alighted on the water as lightly as a gull.
