0THER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Why Pall Shows Are Dying In its last issue, the tlhesley En- terprise asks the question why their fall fair was not more gener- ously patronized, and, after sum- ming the matter up. concludes with the statement: "To our way or thinking. it is the lack of interest among a considerable number of people in the town and surrounding district whether the show lives or dies." '4- ‘: -.- With‘the exception of this. year. when the Hanover show ran into bad weather, the gate receipts have been most encouraging to the of- ficers and directors of the Hanover. Bentinck and Brant Agricultural society. 01‘ course, we have a num- her of people in our midst who have only a lukewarm interest in our Show. if they have any at all. But the directors have gone ahead, done their best. spent money on improve- ments and on attractions and the crowd has responded. We do not believe that the real intention of the fall show, \‘iz., to foster an‘ inâ€" terest in home products by means of competition is increasing year by year. In fact, it would appear that that element of the case is getting more unsatisfactory year after year. But if towns throw up their hands and drOp one community en- terprize after another. and take their outings in the city, as well as spend their money there. we might as well shut up shop and move to the bright lights en masse.â€"-Hanover Post. How’s Your Credit Business [11011 were discussing credits. In the discussion names came 11p anti how far creditshould entitled to credit. They pay their bills in. a reasonable time. Then comes a small hang-over. This keeps growing and eventually the customer transfers his patronage. It was found that a number of mer- chants had the same list of hang- overs. What is the solution? One man stated that all knew the solu- tion. Have a distinct understamling when a man opens an account that full settlements shall he made at stated times. If this is not done then the account should be closed. This is sound logic. it would make the purchaser more. careful. As it is a new customer appeals to the average business man. He or she isl taken on and later comes the hang- over. in comparing these hang- overs it was found that. the earn- ing power was big enough to meet: all legitimate expenses. but appar-3 ently there had been extravagances. Business men owe it to themselves to See that their acconuts are paid. The rash business does not have any of these accounts. It. is cash and carry or the goods remain on the slit-hes. Credit is the one thing that ruins business. It has been proven by statistics that on the Ameriean continent. today the pub- lic i‘l’WiiiS granted amount to 33.800.000.000. It. is also claimed that at least hall' of this will he a total loss. 01' course this includes the luvlue l'urnislmrs who sell on the instalment plan and who have pow- er to take back goods when payâ€" ments are not. met. This leaves the {owl providers out in the cold. Their _'.."m_.HiS are emistinied. How- ewr eredit helps extravagance. The wise family layg out the budget and lives within the income. It‘s true they can't keep up with the Jones’ but they certainly have less worry than the. credit. hounded man.

Schools Fairs give. promise of sup- ‘ plying a very desirable feature in the life of rural children. but. some ; Fairs are being ruined by dishon~ esty and cheating on the part of Some of the participants. The Whitby School Fair was cancelled print-ipally bE’CIItlSt‘. some of the children no longer grew their own exhihits. \\'e are informed that after winning a tirst prize in yeget-t ables. one of the children told howl they trail secured part of the prize roots from their own garden and part from a neighbor. Despite the fact that the school fair regulations emphatirally statei‘l that all exhib- it; must have been grown by the pupils from school seeii. there arel those unscrupulous enough to ‘steal' the rnyeteil ticket in the above- nientiuneti manner. In the case that has come to our notice. the parents aitieai and assisted the child: ren in their nefarious act. The srtmnl fair presents a line ODDOPUID- tiy for teaching the young to parti- cipate in good. honest competition, yet how unfortunate that. some par- ents seize the Opportunity to impart their own dishonesty to the child- ren. and doing them incalculable harm.

A glance through the newspapers almost any day this summer and fall supplies convincing evidence; that barn tires are all too frequent.‘ The report of the Ontario Fire Mar- shall for August showed total loss from this one cause. of over one third of a million dollars. Some of this great waste is non-preventable. no doubt. Accidents will happen on the best regulated farms. But a great deal is caused by carelessness. and it. cannot all be charged up to the hired man. either. It is surâ€" prising. for instance. how few peo- ple take the ordinary percaution, not so ordinary and not. so common, after all. of placing two or three- pails of water around the barn at Fires From Carelessness Frequent Dishonesty at School Fairs RESTORE” T0 (£000 HEALTH Mother of Eleveii Children Praises Lydia E.
