impressed with certain qualities that set this man apart from the average clerk the president of one of the largest and most progres sive drug houses heard rumors of the man and investigated the facts on which they rested he needed a new man in the business and sent for the country clerk ive been keeping my eye on you for over a year he said the opportunity that in the city might have beeir long delayed or that j might never have come was at hand the country clerk accepted the offer and stepped into the organization he made good and to-day- he is not only jamemberof theflrm but i ge manager

replied between sobs i want to see the remains with a new sense of importance the dusky widow drew herself erect and i answered proudly im de remains the young man who goes from the country to the city and wins success there is always a picturesque figure his career is the ideal of the restive ambi tious boy who lives on a farm from which his father wrings a reluctant live lihood the boy looks forward to the time when he also shall go forth to conquei he wants a larger sphere of activity he craves opportunity opportunity like the pot of gold lies at the end of a rainbow the country boy believes that stel rails will leact him to it in a small country drug store there was a clerk who knew that he was big enough in vision and ability to deal with problems greater than those that formed his dally xoutuie he saw the great city brimming with opportunities if he had been alone he would surely pave ven tured forth but at first he could not leave his father and mother and later in life a wife and baby chained him to a place where he was at least sure of a 4ivelihoodr but he did not become bi a what seemed a lack ofj- opportunity instead he harnessed his energy and his ability to the tasks that the days provided the lesmpjiwhntray6lled for the opportunity there is a village in ontario in which lives a young man who worked his way through college he wanted to be a surgeon but when half way through his course he was halted by the death of his father he returned to the village to take care of his mother the physically and mentally vigorous in the community had set their faces toward the city to them the village seemed to offer nothing in the way of opportunity- but- the -boy- who had gone back to take care of his mother discov ered what they had overlooked the village was getting to be a popu lar tourist camp people were also building cottages onrthffteach and were jn nwrt nf m we went to the proprietor of the old general store whose interest in the advent of this new ele ment was as yet passive his stock was so lacking in the things that the newcomers wished to buy that they were ordering their supplies direct from the city j the proprietor of the general stoe was doubtful but the boy persisted and the store underwent a change summer visitors made purchases that rapidly in creased the proprietor soon found him self taking large orders far articles of the very nature of which he knew noth ing being lost in the mazes of his own business he turned to the boy and of fered him a partnership the old general store has become one of the bestrrequlpped in rural ontario and besides owning its stock and fix tures and building it carries on an un usually large summer trade the junior member has a house that would open the eyes of his friends who wandered afield in search of opportunity he also has a camp in the woods where he goes for relaxation such a retreat as would fill with homesick longing the heart of the country boy who is tied to the city

document of great human interest has just come to light in the prohibition dispute in the united states it is the result of r a question naire sent out by the salvation army to all corps officers and institutions in its southern area the questionnaire sought to learn the percentage of local relief handled by the army which was due to liquor the percentage of transient relief work necessary during last winter because of liquor and the number of poor children known to be affected in any way by liquor the enquiry con fessedly is limited to the poorer classes and has special significance as to the wage earner andtheunemployed the results of the investigation are givenin the war cry of june 4 1932 from the institutional reports come some surprising statements staff cap tain myrtle marshall of the evangeline booth home richmond va says xf the460glrlsadmittedtothishome in nine years none have come through the use of liquor adj christine sund- strom of the s a home and hospital in birmingham ala reports we have not had a girl come to this home because t jjtiv- iiib fvl pht yni that t have been stationed here ji in the report of five southern womens homes and hospitals not one problem of liquor is mentioned the old story of womans downfall was close ly linked with booze but apparently hi 1932 liquor plays no part in it in the distribution of local relief 70 cities report no liquor causation 36 report ten per cent and less and only 6 cities give liquor as a large factor in poverty in the transient relief report 55 cities report no trouble from liquor 50 report ten per cent or less and only 7 give liquor as a large factor in making the relief of transients necessary in 64 southern cities children within the armys purview are not affected by liquor and in 39 cities which report any trouble with liquor a total of only 432 children are affected only a short time ago states the report the poor and their children were outrageously exploited by the brewers and distillers their debts were mny their poverty appalling their intelligence low their materia prospects small iut to day thafcgis not true their savings are substantial their health better their schooling far in advance of the liquor days and their prospects for a useful and happy career are brighter from another area the supposedly liquorcursed chicago comes another re markable testimony- colonel george davis of the salvation army reports out of more than 1000000 eases we have dealt with in the last sixteen months there were only seventyfive bad cases of drink end of moderate cases only soot from october 11 1930 to february 3 4932 we helped 1102545 unemployed men of this number we found 0992 per cent drink free the number of women coming to our doors with a tale of being ruined by drink is less than 1 per cent of the entire number whereas in former days it was a considerable proportion in our family welfare relief work in these days we seldom find need arising from strong parents whereas in the old days it was drink on the part of one or other of the ninety out of 100 cases in fact poverty from drink has almost disappeared colonel davis as cited by the washing ton post also states before- prohibi tion the salvation army would gather drunks by the truckload and busload from the saloons and park benches t- day one would have to search high and low in every american city to find at one time 100 men and women of the type the salvation army used to gather by the thousands under the rule of john barleycorn the salvation army is a credible witness it is close to the facts every where in the great cities the supposedly wet centres its testimony as to im provement of the condition of the poor under prohibition cannot be gainsaid the condition of the poor is a matter of

agro- stologist department of agriculture ottawa points out that this is a case in which the merit system always works perfectly before a hay or pasture crop can ever become widely used he states it must be able to produce a satisfactory yield of hay or pasture and plenty of good seed it must have good feeding quality and be able to resist disease and compete with weeds it must also be winterhardy drought resistant in some areas and able to mature seed in our comparatively short growing season not only do crops differ in these respects but some varieties of the same crop are much

this question today it has been answered so convincingly in the affirmative that we hear it asked only in a rhetorical sense nowadays if a businessman makes the statement that his advertising doesnt pay one concludes thattherejs somethingjwrong with his advertising with his goods or with his selection of advertising medium m odern living has been transformed by advertising advertising l coupled with mechanical invention has raised the standards of living enormously in our day automatic machines that enable one man to do the work of ten rapidly increase the worlas wealth of goods that is so long as the machine is kept busy to keep the machine going there must be a demand in case o many articles that we now use daily the public has for its products had to be educated through advertising to the belief that they need these goods e g safety razors fountain pens vacuum cleaners toilet articles etc without advertising it would take generations to find a world market for articles that by means of judicious publicity have been brbughtmnto wide demand in a year but by cr a d g adver keepsupthe productive increase in wealth i e goods advertisingpays both the producer and the consumer by increasing the demand for a certain article it increases the volume of production and thereby lowers the cost for instance crir manufacturers through adver tising have made countless millions production has been increased so amaz ingly through advertising that they are able to sell cars at prices never before considered possible if cars had to be produced in a small factory the public would have to pay a higher price for them than they do now advertising has reduced the price in the local sphere the question the small town merchant asks himself today is not shall i advertise that question has long since been answered in the affirmative the question he asks is rather how can i make my adver tising most effective he realizes that with the keen competition he is up against in the department store which has built up its enormous business through advertising and with the local competition of other live merchants who too are putting their best foot forward to meet city competition he must if he is to hold his end up and be successful gjive studious attention to his ad vertising in the local press it is an essential and highly important feature o his business f7
