Patronize Your Local Merchants And Thus Build Up Your Own Community Did you get in on the bargains of last week? There were several good bargainsâ€"cheaper than Toronto prices. Did you get any of them? Well, look over this week‘s list. There are a lot of articles that you want right now. Each one is just what it is represented as being. You can rely upon that. Take a careful look through the list, then act according to your best judgment, and you will save money. The question was asked at the Council meeting : Would the people of Weston buy the numbers for their houses if the town made the necessary plan of numbering? The fact that we need numbers on our houses and the convenience of such alone seems to answer the question. With the big change taking place, with the bigger change and influx of population to come, we must keep abreast of the times. The houses must be designated by numbers. Our streets are now all tabulated with good, disâ€" tinctive and clear signs. With a number on each h ouse a person could be directed to the place without loss of time. It would also make it easy to inform a person where you live. Main Street, Rosemount Avenue, John Street, are all vague addresses, but No. 10, Main Street, is a positive destination. Let us hear if you would be willing to. buy your own n umbers or not. During a conversation with a vice president of one of our ‘big railroads, he congratulated the Weston Horticultural Society on the work they are taking up through The Times & Guide. _ The working out of the articles which have appeared in this publication would be the best solution to our food production. If every newspaper in Canada w ould publish hints and suggestions in a simple, practical way, it would bring more results than all the advertising the Government could do. He said the different Governments realized that the world‘s food supply was lacking to a greater extent than the population were aware of, and that this should be expounded in our local papers to show the people just how necessary it is that they help to get this righted. They are the ones who will suffer the consequences if the labor problem is not solved. * @ With electricity at a low rate, its radiancy an d beauty of fixtures and display, one can light his window effectively. The cost for two 100 watt lamps burning from dark till ten o‘clock would only run 30c per week. Think of what that will bring you in return. : ‘The merchants of the town should grasp this opportunity and utilize this means of showing their goods to the best advantage.. It will also show the people that Weston merchants are very keen for business and are upâ€"toâ€"date. 7 \This state of affairs speaks volumes to the passer through or stranger to our town. It says our merchants are dead. Because they are closing the finest avenue for business up every night. I do not want to be misunderstood. It is not my idea that the merchant should keep open, my contention is that each one should have his store window nicely fitted, well lighted, with attracâ€" tive displays of goods. This will bring business to you. The people who pass the big windows get their first impression of your goods. If your windows are attractive, neat and changed often, you will create a good impression. If your lights are strong they will force people to look in. Just trylgt. y As you go to the Junction, Mount Dennis, Bloor Street, or any other town, you are at once struck with the brilliance of their streets and stores at night. Why is it? . Because every merchant has his window brilliantly lighted. The street 1i ghts are all carefully placed to give the best results. One expects to find darkness in the wholesale district at night. Even in the residential section one does not look for a brilliant light. But on the Main street one expects to see it a roadway full of lights. As you come into Weston at night one might well ask where is the town. . Did. it ever strike you that way? Just think. The telephone office. Inch‘s and the Hydro office windows are the only places lit up. The impression to a stranger isâ€" Well. this place is dead ! is justifiable. The work of the Board of Trade is moving along. We want the coâ€"operation of our town merâ€" chants, however, in this undertaking. The Board is not a select body for a few men. Oh no, it is the common meeting place for every man who is interested in Weston. The reasoning together elimâ€" inates narrow views and develops a wider vision. The man with a vision can see the greater distance and becomes an asset to the community. It is such men that become our leaders. _ The constant outpouring of ideas makes room for others. _The germ though from another often develops the great stream of something big. Just come out and you will see for yourself. _ You will receive a great development. Again, special articles carefully prepared are now running in our paper. _ They are written by Mr. Hollingsworth, a practical Horticulturist.. He deals with all the elementary problems of the small gardenâ€"its soil, its layout, its properties, and its care. All these items are necessary so as to lay a proper foundation. Read these articles and you will see why you have failed to make your garâ€" den pay its way. Come out on Friday. Help your country in some practical way by making a good garden. _ Mr. Ed. Stonchouse in conversation states a Doint that is worthy of deep thought, as follows:â€" That the government secure control of all available potato seed. This they sell to the farmer at cost price. When a man puts in an acre of potatoes i=t the government supply him free with seed enough for the second acre.. At the close of the season gertain returns could be made to the Department. This would ensure a good large crop. The seed raised in properly cultivated lands would yield more. Our supply would be increased and we would be utilizing our lands to the best advantage. Yet there is another side to this. While we have these large tracts of land cultivated and worked there still remains many small household gardens that are idle. These le idle for several reasons, but the chief one is that it does not pay to have a small garden. â€" In a majority of cases this is true. It does not pay to have inexperienced workmen potter with any line of production, mechanical or agricultural. The necessary fundamental points are required. The agricultural department are doâ€" ing their part and also our own local Horticultural branch are coâ€"operating in the education of beâ€" ginners. They are putting forth efforts to give those interested ideas, helps on fundamental points. For this purpose a public meeting will me addressed by a practical representative from the agriculâ€" tural department. This will be held in the town hall on Friday night in Weston, under the auspices of the Weston Horticultural Society. Come out and see how you can do your part to help produce enough foodstuff for our country. This question is being handled by the Department of Agriculture, Horticultural societies and other bodies. They all emphasize the one phase, that we have acres of vacant land and we need the supâ€" plies. The man who knows little of farming sees this land idle and at once assumes that it is a great waste. He also thinks that all that is necessary to do would be to plow it up, put seed in, and reap a harvest. This is perhaps a little far fetched, but yet explains many cases. . Considerable has been heard during the past few weeks about cultivation of vacant lands. The subject is one of the utmost importance and requires thorough, careful planning and practical expeâ€" rience. We . _Now the practical farmer states that these lots cannot be utilized to produce much on the first year. It requires working, fertilizing and the weeds, especially twitch grass, brought under control before a crop can be harvested. They say, Why cultivate more ground when the cultivated farms will not be worked? This is very important. y ) COMMENTS ON HORTICULTURAL ARTICLES FROM OUTSIDERS UTILIZE THE LAND AND SECURE THE HIGHEST PRODUCTION POSSIBLE Matters of Moment WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY SOMEONE IS DEAD OR IS IT SUNDAY NIGHT? sOMETHING UNDER WAY ALREADY WESTON, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1317 LET US HEAR FROM YOU READ THE ADDS.
