indication- ore not encouraging for the maintenance of hjh prices for wheat an organized attempt is being made by farmers organizations in tho west to hold back wheat for better prices this is

before the war it would therefore seem to be the wiser policy to sell wheat now the ontario temperance act more effective for a number of years the counties of huron and perth havo had tho canada temperance act other wise known as tho scott act in force this measure gave great relief from tho evils of tha drink traffic before tho enactment of the ontario temperance act but suspension of the

therefore more or less a matter of form the effect of suspension will bo to bring the counties within the operation of tho stricter pro visions of the ontario temperance act glaring profiteering in

who now hid themselves in tho hole every newspaper has an influence this fact is beyond any peradventuro when tho board or commerce made that iniquitous sugar order few weeks ago which was later countermanded by the government the ottawa correspondent of tho toronto telegram wired to his paper a remark said to havo been made by a cabinet minister toa group of sugar men wo would havo given you

friday sir aukland geddes british ambassador at washington whose address at tho opening of toronto exhibition a couple of months ago was such an inspiration to industry said that tho position bf canada is thejink which holds firm tho bonds of friendship between great britain and the united states canada has by force of circumstances the duty and privilege or being the interpreter of britain to the united states and r the united states to britain her great deeds and achievements have predestined her to bo the leader in securing cordiality between her partners and her neighbors in a glowing tribute to tho dominion he declared that canada could not fail in t this great task read the manner or men the cana- x f dians are he said ancfyou will never associate the idea of failure

with anyones dignity or tnodesty it is not necessarily boaaunj or self pushing in facla braftking advertisement defeats its purpose it repels and does not attract i there are several points that it might be well for all advertisers to keep in mind theflo are not expert items but are simply common sense applied to publicity 1 ah advertising should be clea1l it ought to state just what yxur business fg and where it is giving your precise address dont assume that every one knows whero the jones dry goods store is nor how to get tthere tell them you cannot make things too plain 2 advertising should be reckoned as a part of your 11usines it is as necessary as the sign over your door t is not an occasional nor nn out side matter it is essential jiow can the public do business with you unless they know about you 3 it should be regular and constant people trade with the arm whose name is familiar to them the newspaper ought to be your partner if you are in business permanently let your advertls ing be permanent u 4 the newspaper going dally into the hands of he people is the best medium for advertising its where the public naturally turn when they want to see where to buy whether bonds or beans advertising should be attractive the inost attractive thing you can put in is something that appeals to the selfinterest of the reader funny or startling matter that has nothing to do with your business is not good advertising no man can be funny every day by and by your antics become tire some if you can show a woman where she can save 10 cents or where she can buy stuffs that last longer and wear better it is much more to your advantage than to crack jokestor tohegirivour advertisement with a picture of a wild bolshevik and wind up with announcing your superior stocks what you- want is to tell folk that they can get the most for their money at your place that is the most attractive fact you can publish ck be brief dont try to crowd all the reading matter possible into the space you pay for so as to gel your tnoneyri worth use readable type and dont say too much 7 be human make your advertisements as live and warm as you can dont be too cold and precise a tell the truth when customers come to your store do a little more for them than you said you would in your announcement the prosperity of the liar is brief 9 it is the duty of all honest concerns to advertise that is the best way to crowd out the fakirs it enables newspapers to reject suspicious and questionable advertisements i 10 advertising is necessary to all forms of business which appeals to the public banks tele- phone companies gas and other public utility con cerns besides city provincial and national govern ments ought to keep regularly in touch with the people by
