A newspaper can pursue uts1 happy course giving praise toloa organizations and individuals, en- couraging the living. speaking well of the dead, giving many columns of f ree publicity 10 thîs and that cause, and boostiflg the community and ils inierests generally, but leti one inadvertent mistake occur, and1 the paper hears of it, i some cases before the ink on the printed page is dry. It was ever thus. A news-1 paper must ever be ready to use freely the medium of publicity for good and weal of its readers and community, llkewise must it have always handy th1e cloke o! charty- the supreme virtue. A newspaper, in the eyes of many, was'întended to give service only-free or otherwise -not to make mistakes that he who runs may read. To pursue this course the Statesman and most newspapers strive bard, but o! 1- times the element o! human weak- ness enters in and misîakes are made. Despite this f act, however, the newspaper continues to be a powerful instrument for good and we believe, without boasting, that most people i Bowmanville and dis- trict wil admit tbis. THE THOUGHTS 0F GREAT MEN In a gloomy moment the great parliainentarian, William Pitt, ex- pressed his thoughts in these words: "There is scarcely anything around us but run and despair." Wilber- force must have created some doubt and misgivings in the minds of f al- teri.ng bridegrooms, for lie said he 'dared not marry, the future was so dark and unsettled." In 1819 Lord Grey 'believed everything was tend- ing t0 a convulsion," and on the eve 0f his death th1e Duke of Wellington off ered Up thanks thal he would be spared f rom seeing 'the consumma- tion of rmin thal is gathering around us." "In industry, commerce and agriculture Ihere is no hope." said Disraeli in 1849; and tle wie o! William IV dlieered lier feeble though well-intentioned partner with th1e remark that her one desire was "to play t11e part o! Marie An- loinnette with bravery in t11e revolu- tion that was coming on England." As laie as 1868, just af ter the union adopted so far, but companies nave been asked in niany cases to remove offending boards. The Deparîment's action has the very commendabie object of retain- ing the natural beauty of the high- ways. In this regard Ontario can take a lesson f rom neigliborîng States where signboards advertising every imaginable commodiîy fromn razor blades 1,0 oatmneal, litter the highways in every direction. The United States is easily the world's leading advertiser, boIh of itself and 0f its products, but the average in- teligent American undoubtedly rues the day when permission was grant- ed to destroy ail landscape beauty along its highways. To a certain extent Canada f ol- lowed suit, but the movement is be- ing checked just in lime. Hand in hand with this war on bllboards sliould go natural beautification by plantîng trees, shrubs and grass. Elgin County set a worthy example in tree-plantmng along No. 3 High- way. Welland County is sponsoring a rose-lined highway. With frequent gores, where sharp turns have been eliminated, steep banks. where th1e road has been cut through, and wiih many treeless sîretches, there la plenty of room for some landscape work on Ontario highways. AID FOR THE UNEMPLOYED A timely warning is sounded by th1e Financial Post against carrying civic programs of unemployment relief work 100 far. The Federal and Provincial Governments liaving furnished enormous sums of money for this object. it is natural that municipalities seize the chance to carry out undertakings that would otherwise wait for some years. While this work may provide very necessary aid for the unemployed. it is a policy that will add tremen- dously 10 the country's presetin debîedness, Ihat will restrict creit and cause an increase in taxatÂon. The Govemnments, in considering the plans submitted by municipalities, should beware of too much elastic- ity. Ater ahl, only a part of the monies reach the actual laborers, and after ahl, we have always had the unemployed with us, though not in such large numbers. Extrava- gance in respect to unemployment relief can only mean added burdens for the average citizen.

A. Mea- dows of Port Hope being re-elected piesident; W. F. Rickard. Newcastle, vice president; and Lawrence C. Ma- son, Bownianville, secretary-treasur- er. The following were appointed vice presidents for the various inunl- icipalitieS: Bowmnan%,ille-J. J. Gray andi Mrs. H. W. Burke; Port Hope- L. H. Giddy and Mrs. H. Mitchell; Newcastle-NMaJor H.

Courtice. it was decided that in future a membership fee of $1.00 per annum be charged for the Durham County Liberal Association so that the treasurer would have mnoney on hand to pay for necassary things that cropped up from time to time like advertising meetings and paaing speakers' expenses. It was also de- cidecl that after the London Con- vention a meeting would be called of all Liberals in the County to hear the reports of the delegates and that a prominent Liberal, probably Mit- chell Hepburn, be brought to Dur- ham to speak on the Liberal Policy. The meeting will probably take the f orm of a banquet at which the Lib- eral leader will be the guest of hon- or. A resolution expressing utmost confidence in the three Liberal lead- ers, Mitchell Hepburn, Hon. W. L. M. King, and Hon, W. E. N. Sinclair, was heartily endorsed by the gather- mng. in addition to the address by Dr. McQuibban, which was one of trie most brilliant political addresses neard in Orono for some time, and ,vnicn was typical of an election camtpaign, was an addrebs by the Hon. Nelson Parliament, former speaker of the Ontario Legisiature, who made a stirring cail to Liberals to take a keener interest in the pol- itical life in the country and to prepare now for the nexi election in which he saw the defeat of the Tory machine and the establishment of a reliable Liberal Qovernmnent and a return to prosperity. W. J. Bragg, M.P.P. for Durham, also spoke briefly. Mr. Bragg stat- ed that the convention ini London was not held for the purpose of forming policies but for the ejection of oflicers and for the discussion of the political platformn formed by the party last f al.

Making In In Bowmanville are many retail- ers who could and should have larger businesses. The right way to get on in busi- ness is to set sales mark for the year- $5,000, $ 10,000, $20,000, $50,000- whatever is reasonable and within one's financial ability. Then the year's objective should be reduced to weekly and monthly amounts, in accordance with the seas- onal character of one's business. Then the next thing to do is to calculate the numnber of sales transac- tions needed each week to produce the weekly sales objective. Thus, if one's average sales transaction is 50 cents, and if one's weekly sales objective is $100; then, clearly, the retailer must oney Retailing have 200 sales transactions every week. This may mean 200 customers. So the retailer's job is to get into his store 200 customers each week-an average of 34 a day. These customers to be secured at the rate of 200 a week require to be (1) invited, publicly and regularly, by advertisements in this newspaper; (2) informed about the seller's merchan- dise, prices and service-again by ad- vertisements in this newspaper, and (3) so weIl served by the retailer that they wilI become "repeaters." The main thing is customer attrac- tion in required and pre-determined numbers, and this* is achieved by in- teresting and warm-blooded advertise- ment in this newspaper.

True, tbey wlll make more root growth if plant.ed earliet but f airly salis! aclory results have been obtained where bulbs were put in th1e ground aflter the f irst hard f reeze. Of course, one cannot plant outside when t11e ground is frozen hard, but usually there is a period o! Indian Summer Iwhen th1e f rost goes out of t11e Iground and th1e soil becomes mellow. Use tulips, dafi odils or any o!f1the little spring bulbs like th1e crocus. Generally speaking, they sliould be planled 10 a depth o! three or f our limes their diameter with deeper planting in sandy soul than in heavy dlay. This will mean about four inches in dlay for tulips and six in- ches in lighl soil. The hgli-grow- ing, lae Iulips such as the D arwn and Breeders should be put down at a greaier deplh Ilian the early blooming types so ihat the root growh wlll be sufficient 10 support the taller stemis. Best resulîs are obîained by planting in clumps. with aI leasl six. and, better stili, ten or more o! one variety in a clump. one can set île bulbs five to ten indhes apart. Dafiodils, 10 make a show outside, must also be planted i groups. The 11111e spring bulbs, on th1e other hand, may be scattered lhroughout 111e lawn or along the edge o! borders where tliey will bloom and be oui 0f the way before the grass needs cuiting. Tulips and Hyacinths look besi planied in 1the perennial or other borders. or along th1e edge or even under slirubbery and irees. Most 0f ithe bloom will be over before 1the leaves on the shrubbery come out. which will serve as a screen for t11e dylng foliage of the bulbs in early summer. Tulips corne in iliree main groups, early singles and doubles. which corne out in April and May, thie Darwins, large and laier. and thie Breeders. big, deep-coloured witli beaulifully bIen- Iding shades, which are also late.
