We cannot too strongly uro'e upon the good peopie of Bownîanvi'lle and vicinity the necessity of doing ail shop- ping sufflcientlv early to permit the clerks tÔ leave the shops at 0830 p. i. during' dune, July and Au'ut. It will be showing a great kinaneSss to al those einployed iu doors during these hot months to so manage business with the stores as not to detain the employees or an one else after the time stated. AIl tfÎe leading merchants have sîgned an agreement to close their places of business at 6.30 p. m. and aow ail de- pends on the good-will of the buying public. Prove to them that you wish thein ail to get the fuil advantage of the arrangement by shopping' early. HOW TO FACE FAILURE. That ail who comp)ete for this world's prîzes do not win is certain from the start. In maay lotteries there are more blanks tian prizes but la the battie of life it is fortunatel v otherwise. But what l5 to be done if we have faled ? Shall we become possimistic and con- clude that we shahl continue unfortun- ate--? Not s'o. Take a caref u[ inventory of our belongings and resolvc to try again and again if need be. The fan- mer cannot hike the manufacturer, lock his gates and say "This farm is closed until there is a pnopsect of profitable pro- duction." Nohne must flot stand idlv bvand see crops of weeds grow in luÏ- unions profusion, for sncb the soul wil produce if it is not used to a betten pur- pose. If he plow.not, non plant, neither eultivate. one need nof 0'uess whatfltie liarvest will ho. Then te taxes must be paid, familles fed and clothed. Whaf mnust the farmer do under unprofitabie aperations? If the selling' prico is re- duced below the cost of profitable pro duction. hcouast contrîve some means to reduce thie cosf and the expenses must be curtailed. AlneadY this may have been donc away down below the uncomfortable limit ; then examine the fixed expenses sncb as taxes, insurance,, etc., and sec if something cannùot be saved b y e-ad justment or ia some way. Never despair unden the most discour- aging circumstances. A flrm determin ation, a strong arm and will, a deligent hand and thoughtfnl head acting ia uni- son will aine trnes in ten ensure im- provement la one's circumstances. In dustry. economy, patience and wisdom 'where health and strength are enjoyed wih conqur the worst cases of faiture, THEY STILL LEAD).

A sound business principle is that the man wfb fIe saiary sbould lave no advantage over fthe mnan who pays the salary. Our outiav if business is f0 go on must be regulafed by our income, or revende. \Ve must place our expenses on a level wif h tihe pnice wc obtain. Thius requires a litte com4ideration and if mavy be ratlien more far-reacbing than af first iiîoemg-ht appears. Wen must thnougîs effort auîd org'anization. adjust f0 suitftfl i fes ail salaries of public officiais as w'eil ai fte salaries of cm- pîc.yces and servants, se thaf our taxes will come within tbe imit o'f actual ne- cessity. Why slould nîl salaries be kept up f0 thc 11gb watcr mark of pros- perous times whcn mendiants, frades- mca, farmers and others employing la bon anc compclied f0 submitfoftheplain- est fonm 0f existence f0 make ends ? Professional mca, sncb as preachers, teachers and doctors, as well as ondin- amy individunîls 'ivo arc earning their living by thec sweat of thcir brow,should wlliingly accept lower fees or remuner- ation la fimes like now prevail than la prosperons fimes.

Consie Hlamilton and Sophie James of Bowmanvilie, earlv in thc voyage, became companions and a fniendship was formied. that will un- doubtedly ripen as the years go by.

MýR.EDT'o,-l{ere are some thoughts which cropped up lu my mind as I read the article lu your paper on "Curfew Beils". Are nof the W. C. T. U. over- dolag' what they suppose is a good workF?

We tbey to enforce the laws now la existence, surely theY must cover the ground necessary to tiie welfare of the boys and girls.. In iwhat way is sending chldrea homne by 9 o'clock going to do them good if they have sômething to do which is more pleasant than looking ont for the ruIes of the W. C. T. U. ? Do chiîdren go f0 bed at 9 o'clock ? No, two out of onÏe hundned, then the other ninety-eiht if they have no lawn must Sit on the steps and wipe thieir eyes be- cause the W. C. T.

T.U. to look around themn thev'would see that not the boys under'14 years but boys fnom four to twentv-foun needed the looking after. ThenÏ, agala, how would the ladies like to hear this: " People la glass houses shouldn'f throw Stones.

But,, perhaps theirs anc ail goody-goody littie boys who neyer go ont after tea, and would not thinik of, staying out to a friend's af fer half past eight,,if if were a mileorfromn home. Dear Editor, It am only t boy, but I think that lots of boys arc more capable of taking care of thiemsclves than lots of women of our town. This may seemi presumptioii to the ladies, but if they had considered they wonid have seen that it would be impossible, yes, I say impossible tog et any satisfaction out of the "Curfew Bell" for-can you impose any fine-if so,who does it corne out of ?
