WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1U34 TIIK I-r.KSHKRTON ADVANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING FAIRS W. C. McBrido, piesident of the Pntt-villc Ajfiicultural Socioty, Kavc u siilcndid aildio.<.s at tho mectiiuf of tht Society held at Priceville recently at whUl) it was stated that tlie Soc- iety would meet all oi.liKUtiotis and have a balance on hand. F-'olIowinR is President McBndeV address: Ivadiv5i and Gentlemen:- I wish to extend to you all a hearty weUonio to the annual u.eetinK of our Ajfri- cultuial S(Kiety. We have been pass- ing through conditions as a people that havt beoii tryinp to say th. least, but, without such experience in life we would not attain the h-ifht of our possibilities. I wish at tliiV time to tliank the officer.s and niein- Inrs ol our society on thi.s earnest endeavor during th^ pa.st year in hclpinjc me make our Society a .suc- cess, both financially and in.'stiuctive. And I am of the opinion the future holds brijrhter thinKs in btore, that you as tillers of th- soil, soon .â- <ee the silver lining'. And a.- we go forward into 1^35 may oui l;opes be brighter and our spirits ((Uickened to met I our new o'jli^'a tions and tasks. There arc many thinps that I wish to bring to your 8ttenti4)n during the course of my ad- dress, which I hope you take as they are given, not as ridicule, but for the betterment and progress of our Soc- iety. ilomesCic industry, and us anu nia> lire art:;. With one season as pres 1 come to you full of confidence for the future of your Society; but to gain that success there will have to be some chancres. I personally ri-coniniend a tlHirough le-oiganization of our Society. Thit le-orgunization should lake place al ontu and you nhould see that your officers and directors accept this re- Kl>onsibility as their own. I can see no reason why there should not be double the amount of live stock .•â- hown. 1 have some suggestions tc make â€" to make our hall exhibit* mere interesting, these I will submit for your approval: 1st, our cntiy tickets should be changed to bear the name of the exhibitor, these could be opened after the judging i.« done.j People are proud of their work and| like their friends to know it is theirs; 2nd, I would suggest that uninter- ested persons do the clerking for the! judges. This would cause more cor<;ietition and go to prove that everything was abov;- the board. Re- memlier I am not saying this is done, but it might give- occasion for talk; 3rd, We should be very particular I'.lmit exhibits returninif to the hall year after year. In the most of cases tliis work should be done during the year; 4th, domestic science â€" the ex- hibitor should follow exactly what h in the prize list, if it calls for fi buns, that mCans 6 not 12, and if it calls for light cake it does not mean dark cake. Fruit or vegetables should be shown in whatever containers are ;:;;,"; Knocking Paid Mail Order Mervhandising under present con- ditions was discussed by Mr. Sulley of the National Cash Register Co., at the last meeting of the Uarrie Retail Merchants' .Association. There is .said thi' sneaker, at the outset, no substitute for hard work and brains in business to-day as at any time. By organization and co-operation merchants can do much to gain and hold trade. .The speaker told of a mail order house in New York that inquired into why in n town 150 miles away they did annual business of $80,000, while in another town only 40 miles awny of similar size, their annual business was only $12,000.^ It was found that in the latter town th( merchants were organized and co operated, while in the former there was no onranization and the merch- ants were knocking each other, whil. the mail order house got the business .â- \ town where the independent mer- chants iiave noor sales is not a disir- able place for the lawyer , the noctai or the preacher. Mr. Coidon McKinnon of Toronto v.as in town last wjek. Mrs. McCallum is seriously htr home in Flesherton. ill al After all the growtj-ups ara only boys and girls. Another search af- ter pirate's treasure is to bo made. .Whether they'll get the gold is an- other matter, but they'll have the fun anyway. But they should take a dozen kids along with them ju.jt to give them the real kick out of th* journey. Other youngsters will get the same kick by putting up a .shack in the woods and digging for treasure in a snot where their imagination- makes t!:em believe the treasure is buried. * Our Prize List should be revised -ailed for, not in anything you hap- from leaf to leaf, and should con- psn to have. I would suggest that tain more commercial classes design- all butter and baking should be cov- ed to improve the manner i^ which c:^'d with Celophane paper (this h our products are marketed.

We should always endeavor to keep the boys and j I personally wish to thank you, Mr. Whyte, for the help you have givjn me at no remuneration to yourself. 1 also wish to thank Mr. H. B. Mc- Lean, .Archie McAi-thur, Jas. Harri- son and Donald Reiky, who havt .-itood by me through my term of office.
