year tho head of a great business enter prise complained recently that there was not enough brain powder available for the important posts the colleges are more crowded than ever before but not every

you think more f ease than success you will never develop it to tho point of supplying the shortage of which commcrcinl leaders complain and filling tho vacancies waiting for young men and women of brains gjve yourself a square deal v this is a practical world after all agreat many peoplo complain that the world does not treat them fairly r thd trouble is that they do nqt treat themselves fairly- if a person goes around with a long face and a heavy heart wonderlijg what piecerof til luck wdl come next he is himself putting insuper able obstacles in the way of success smile all you can make a point of looking on the bright side keep up heart even when the outlook is disturbing give yourself a square deal in the way of hopeful ness if you are doing only what yqu are obliged to do putting halfhearted effort tnto your duty and looking with envtpus eyes on those you consider more fortunate you are not flaying tho gamp fairjy givo yourself a square deal by doing your work wholeheartedly it makes very little difference how fairly you ore treated by the outside world if you are unfair to- yourbwn powers and your own pos sibilities yqur success and happiness depend largely on giving yourself a square deal 1 our crops and prices there is seldom a flnancialpage which does not n some burst of enthusiasm point a anger at the good crops in ontario and other parts of the country and state that they are sufficient guarantee of abun dant money in tho land to sustain o good purchasing iipjtqgranwne qn jhepart of the farmer t now this compument may be all right and then again it may be all wropg in ono way it is complimentary to be told that the backbone of the purchasing power rests with the man dn the farm in another way some of i tho financial gucsscrs may be all wrong and no farmer who keeps a close check on his costs is going 1 0 jbo fooled by all the flapdoodle that the youthful fc p i financiers can pen from an impression of farming gathered from being whisked by a high powered car what are he facts crops good yes for the mpst part the price likely to be sustained at a fairlyhigh level cerralnly but remember thist the farmer and the manufacturer are in much the same position this year viz they are both turning out a highcost article the manufacturer is paying a big price for his material for his haulage for his skilled and unskilled labor in faet everything he teucheatja the production of his finished article is at a high level the farmer has taken on a verycon sidcrable obligation in order to produce the crop that now is reatjy for the barn he will have to realize well on it hj order to get out from under and otho end of the reason find that he has a real not an imaginary balance op the right side the farmer has paid a high price fortrirseed fertilizer for feed which in many cases has been purchased in tho open market for his machinery if he has had to buy any for labor and ror everything else that has entered n- to the production of his 1020 crop put tip g a high cost crop on the market needs a high price in return i otherwise the man whx is financing the deal is goind fo be worse off than when he was selling

d also that the war has laid heavy burdens upon farmers who receive these advanced prices as upon all other classes give v billon a preliminary welcome a visitor struck a pertinent note the other day when he said referring to ficton youve got a- good town why dont you let the peoplo who pass through it know wbat it is and what you do hero why not we are proud of acton of tts homes with their pretty ii owe re and lawns its well kept streets its industries and its people and yet as ono appreci ales when he thinks about it dozens of passing motorists might come into and leavo tho town in any direction and unless they were curious might never know the name of tho place certainly they would never know that we had one of tho most im portant leather industries in the empire nor again that tho town was anxious to attract new industries and can offer unusual advantages to these how to do it theres no doubt no more direct method than tho road sign for which hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent annually by advertisers ol all kinds in ontario georgetown has a couple of weather worn signs at her borders and while these aro not particularly inviting they are hotter than nothing but why not something worth while hero is an idea for the proposed now chamber of com merce lets plan for four really firstclass slgrjs to bo placed at tho corporation limits on each of tho four roads leading into acton we shouldnt bo sat tsfied with a plain board announcement welcome to acton suppose we plan for a real highclass metal sign such as are used on the bill boards possibly painted in colors to add to its attractiveness it would be a very easy matter to connect up such signs with the streot lighting system ond to have tho illumin ated with two 4r three hopded lights imagine tho thoughts of motorists coming into acton after dark and being greeted by such a sign immediately there is a favorable mental impression and ten chances to one a man will say to himself thcrcs an enter

we have splendid industries and splendid facilities koit more to toronto j3 not faster than 15 please to gudph 17 rl expensive yes thoy would cost nomothne as docs evehythlng worth while but here is another suggestion the free press is strongly ot tho opin ion fhat aside from any general value to the town such signs particularly if illuminated would have direct advertising value to our leading industries suppose provision were made for fair sized advertis ing plates below or besid th town sign we bo lrovtthair a dozen of our merchants as well as odr manufacturers who would bo loss directly benefitted would bo willing to contribute sufficiently to do fray the cost particularly if this were spread over a tern of years as would be anticipated there is no doubt that auch advertising matter would at least pay jtho cost of upkeep shall wo have them or not it is foe you to say lets be the first town in tho county perhaps iu tho province to do efficient advertising at her borders if it is done right the fame or tho town will bo widespread and the advertising value very material another suggestion comes when considering tho matter of signs for tho bordcri of the town when a business house a bonk dn industmal concern in the city starts a now building the first thing done oven befpro the excavation is commenced is to put a good sized sign informing the public that the jones manufacturing co is erecting a flvcatory factory on this site to provide for tho demand for the jones cameras this not only satisfies peoples cdriosity but is valuable from an advertising stand point out near iho corporajlonlimlts0nmain streot south on the wallace property is a consider able excavation over which will shortly be erected a rather notablo structure you and 1 in acton know what ilia peoplo from outside do not flow effec live it would be if a fairsizcd sign on the fence at the spat noted acton is erecting here tho standpipe and reservoir for our nw waterworks system an other
