wp EERO OER OES OST 0IE ER eaES END SEED : @ A Contrast in "Advertising THE PAST -- The summer of 1922 ushered in itself, with pleasing prospects. The lovely month of May, so re nowned by writers, and glorious- ly sung by poets, bade fair to equal the highest encomium ever spoken of it--balmy air, glorious skies, sunshiny days and trans- lucent nights, all contributed to the happiness of mankind, and the proprietor of this emporium, chortled with glee, and suffused with pleasure that his prepara- tions of merchandise of Silk and Cotton, would find ready sale. = But alas, alack, the weather of June was most unpropitious, and the days of July more frigid. Cold windy blasts, and Jupiter Pluvius, damped the summer ardour of the most ardent optimist, and the cloths of the Indies and the fibres of Araby did not sell. There remaineth yet therefore but a short spell of summer, and something must be done to wheedle filthy lucre from patrons pockets. ; Turckal a summer salell A vast assortment of merchandise at but two units of exchange, one or two shekels!!! : Come prepared, come unpre: pared and see what you shall see, after Friday the 11th. ee creme Te me THE PRESENT.-- 1922 was not a good summer year. It started alright, but June and July was colder than usual. This store has some summer stock left, it does not want to carry over. August looks like a hot month. Starting Friday the 11th, and lasting throughout the month goods will be separated into two heaps, one a dollar, one twoO dollars, probably something will interest you. Sale goods are always cash, and neither put aside, nor sold on approbation. The goods on sale will touch everything.

But who is to blame for this condition? We think it is the fault of former governments. Our road system is--well, about 2f years behind, and it is'indeed a very difficult problem for the present ofii- cers to catch up with present needs. But on the other hand, as we sce that under the present management there is more done in a few years than the rest did in a great many years, we believe there is hope that some day we will see a complete road system not only connecting Winnipeg and Fort William, but also branching out to every home in the country. Therefore let us brace ourselves up and not look too much to what is not done; but for our own sake let us have a look at the things that have been accomplished, And then have the courage to say-- Not too bad! (Hope it won't take toc long.) Our picnic will be held on Saturday September 9th, at the Entertainer': Hall. Right in connection with the School Fair we will have a fair for the farmers also. at four a baseball gam THE DRYDEN OBSERVER | Prize of $10.00 by C. O. Self.

Between Quibell and Osaquan work is going forward in various sections, to such an had over twenty separate pay-sheets. From the Vermillion-Quibell main road, Mr Hutchison is building three and one-half miles into the Finn set- tlement at lower falls in the Sanford township. = At the Beaver River bridge, constructed last winter, a road some three miles in length is being opened up. In this section, children | have been going four and a half miles to school and the new road gives them access to another school only two and 'one half miles distant, Between lots 10 and 11, another bridge built on Beaver River last win- ter in Aubrey township at concessions 5 and 6, another three mile stretch has been constructed. In Mutrie township, between lots 10 and 11, com- munication has been established with Gunne, while several other stretches have been opened in this vicinity from Ignace are being connected up with the work will be completed this fall in all probabilty should the weather con- ditions prove favourable. From Dyment, the old government road is being put in traffic condition, and several new yoads, as well as a num- ber of bridges, are under construction. From the old C.P.R. gravel pit in Zealand township, they are building various localities, Tn Rugley township, between lots 6 and 7, a road is being run north three miles, and between con. 5 and 6 in Tlaton township, a similar work is be- ing carried on. In Sanford township, clon 4, they are opening up north to let out a number of settlers badly in need of a highway. The writer has seen some of the roads under construe- tion and the work is certainly a credit to road inspector Hutchison and those associated with him.

The /Adult Class of 'the Dryden Union Church meets every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The sessions are always devotional, the studies are as accurate as possible, and the appli- cation is practical. It is a good way to start our day of rest. The lesson for August 27th is the first aleven verses of the Book of Nehemiah, In preparing this lesson, it would pay us well to read the whole book. In sum- ming it up, we must come to this con- clusion, that prayer is one of the most vital forces at our disposal.
