Small schools are not being encouraged by liberal grants. Every encouragement is given for the installation of good school equipment, libraries, ete. Schools with a low assessment, and a large school attendance are getting generous grants, and this has meant a great help in the case of small urban municipalities. In previous years urban municipalities received very small grants-- in the ratio of about 53c. per pupil, as compared with $13.00 per pupil in rural schools. This disparity is being remedied.

The result was a happy Peel, Welland, Northumberland, Grey, Lambton, and the Thunder Bay District. When those addresses are printed they will be well worth readirg, and could readily hecome the basis of an intensely interesting book on the Province of Ontario. We regretted to note that Ontario County was not represent- ed in this contest, but perhaps this matter can be remedied another year. One pleasing feature was the fact that so many boys took part this year--five out of seven. An Amazingly Beautiful |. Floral Display Once in a while a rare pleasure is unexpectedly enjoyed. One of these opcasions was last Saturday, when the editor was permitted to see the unrivalled display of Schizanthus at the greenhouses of Mr. R. 8. McLaughlin, Oshawa. 8 Naturally the reader will ask-- "What is Schizanthus ?" It is a flower of Peruvian origin, a profuse bloom- ing species of orchid. When the plant was brought from Peru seven years ago it was an insignificant bloom about the size of a small five cent Careful selection of seed, and erous cultivation have brought ais flower to a state of perfection If you were permitted to see the 'display of this flower to-day, you would be amazed at its prolific bloom- ing, and the glorious range of its colorings. From the palest of tints, some almost white, to the deep crim- son and purple tones, the massed plants show banks of beauty that would delight the flower lover, and | will leave him. speechless. There are no words that will truly describe the! This display rivals in beauty the famous chysanthemum showing which Mr. McLatghlin annually makes at the Royal Winter Fair. It is a flower of far different quality but the ro- mance of its development is an out- standing contribution to floriculture. lr A eons Sunoco Gasoline 23c.

Strand Theatre, . Uxbridge THURSDAY AND FRIDAY "The Big House" 'Featuring Wallace Beery and Chester Morris . [ Advertisi ertising The foremost authorities on retail store advertising maintain that from 2 to 3 per. cent. of the gross sales should be invested in advertising dur- ing the year. According to statistics prepared by the Bureau of Business Research the following percentages of gross sales are usual and correct for advertising expenditures for the various types of retail stores: Department stores, 1.9 to 3.1 per cent; grocery stores, 0.4 per cent; haberdashery, 3.3 per cent; women's- wear shops, 3.1 per cent; furniture 6.3 per cent; drug stores, 0.8 per cent; cleaning and dyeing, 3.3 per cent; electrical shops, 2.7 per cent; hard- ware, 0.9 per cent; jewelry, 3.1 per cent; restaurants, 3.1 per cent; mil- linery. 2.2 per cent; music stores, 3.3 per cent; shoe stores 2.9 per cent. The population in every commun- ity changes at a rate far more rapid than most people realize. In some cases it is 25 per cent. in three years, For that reason if for no other contin- uous advertising "and presentation of a firm's name and business are as vital as window displays and stock upkeep. Every customer won, added to the customers already patronizing a busi- ners, fills the place of another cus- who is moving away otherwise lost to the business. The retailer who adopts an adver- tising-budget plan and consistently follows it has a definite and tangible proposition. You never hear it charg- ed that some of the biggest stores and businesses price their goods higher just because of their advertising. Motor makers spend many millions in advertising to make it possible to make more cars and sell them cheaper. However, the budget will permit of fluctuation and may be changed from month to month, depending on weath- er and other conditions, but over the course of the year it may be followed as a correct and safe guide. It is unfair to advertising to expect it to do all the winning and keeping of trade. The most that advertising can do is to get customers into the store. From that point it is up to the man- agement and sales force to make it profitable. A good stock, well selected and displayed, with clerks well in- formed on the goods and values offer- ed--these, together with smiles and assurances of honest satisfaction, must accompany advertising to make it pay. Advertising is worse than wasted which brings customers into a place to be neglected: The clerk whe shows no interest in the lady wishing to buv a medium-price hat or coat may be offending the very customer who next year will be in a position to spend five times the amount for that purpose. tomer or is People who 'pay for newspapers to read are not doing so to help any- body but themselves. They enjoy the newspaper as a family and community necessity, and whatever is presented in the newspaper interestingly and attractively is sure to have their at- tention as a nice window display is to have fheir admiration. The newspaper is the window display carried right into the homes of the people--hun- dreds of times multiplied in its effec tiveness, accessible to all, and comfort- ably viewed with interest -- to convince and profit all cohcerned. I MRS. W. P. BROWN On Monday, April 6th, 1931, Maxey Cooper O'Beirne, wife of Rev. W. P. Brown, died at her home in Port Perry. Mrs. Brown was born in Cavenville, Ont., on the 18th day of December, 1851, and was the daughter of Mr. P. H. and Henrietta O'Beirne. She was educated in Lindsay, special- izing in classics. In 1879 she was married to Rev. W. P. Brown, then au Methodist Minister at Dalrymple-- (now Sebright). They continued in the ministry until 1912, when Mr, Brown retired and moved to Port Perry. Since coming here they have been helpful members in the United Church. : Mrs. Brown was a kindly woman, greatly and sympathetically interest- ed in all that went on about her. She was ever ready to do a kindness and made it her business to be of particu- lar service to young people, and in missionary work her contribution to Mr. Brown's work on his various circuits was much appreciated. The sympathy of the community is extended to Rev. Mr. Brown in his bereavement. / CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION 3 p.m. Sunday School 7 p.m. Evening Service.
