It is truly a tabloid cyclopedia of the Dominion --Canada in a Nutshell--"or t as Andy would. say. Here within brief compass are all the salient features of the country for the current year, arranged under fifty chaptei heads ranging from Agriculture tc Yukon. This handy little volume-- "as full of meat as a cocoanut"--is i revelation as well of the progressiv< story of the Dominion in a single year, and should prove a source oi encouragement to all and a revelation as well of the favoralble trends of recent months. It "sells Canada" most effectually, and its wide circulations good national business. Copies at 35c each, or three for a dollar may be had from 588 Huron Street, Toronto, or from leading newsdealers. WE LIKE TO GET THE NEWS The main aim of the weekly newspaper is to give news of its own district. It may have other aims, such as to give the merchants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public opinion through its editorial columns; or to amuse or instruct; but first of all, it must give news. Some of this news is not easily obtained and no editor can cover it without assistance. Therefore, we ask our readers' assistance. Especially is this true when you have visitors. Many of the ladies think that personals are the whole paper. Your visitors usually are glad to have their names printed. So send them in. Sometimes people come in and give the impression that they are asking a favor when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have been spending a few days with them. No person need feel that way who has an item of real news.
