So many people who have thought. that mere bigneee ie in itself a fact that would enable mail order houses to com- vvete successfully with local merchants, 'Weald de well to consider that there is ;another aide to blgnese, that in many ways it ie a handioap and adds materi- ally to the expense of handling even the smallest order that is received. To the persica who is really lntereeted iu get. tbeg at the facts of the case, we would say -compare the expense of the nail order howls item by item, per cent. by Iter cant., with those of the ,nerohant in Wingham, and you may be helped to realize what that other side of bigness mature, Take Into consideration the infinite amount of details necessary for handling even the smallest orders re- oeived by these large concerns. Trace the orders through the hands of mail. openers, cashiers, obeckons, packers, more checkers, billers, more checkers, shippers, teamsters, express and railroad companies, claim departments, more oheokers, and so on. Consider what happens in a Wingham store when a purchase is made and make your own comparisons. The local merchant aims to make a fair profit on hie goods. 1)o yon really think the mail order houses are in business for any other purpose than to make a profit? Of course, we realize that there is a difference in capital running up into the millions and that running into the thousands only, but do not forget that the millions are operating over the entire country from Halifax to Vancouver, and that thousands are concentrated right here in Wingham. Do not forget that bigness brings difficulties as well as advantages, and at a certain point the difficulties overshadow the advantages. •--•-Turuberry Council will meet in the 001E2.1.

And while considering bigness, do not forget this point: There are approxi- mately twenty thousand retail stores in Canada doing a business, of say, ten thousand dollare a year eaoh. That makes a total business of two hundred and fifty million dollars. All the mail order houses in the oonntry are not doing a tithe of that business. Do you think the manufacturer or wholesaler is going to sacrifice his interest in that two hundred and fifty million dollar business by selling cheaper to mail order houses than he does to the local mer- chant? Would it pay him to do so, even if he could? As a matter of fact he Cannot do so, because he gives the low- est possible pride to the regular trade. Do you think the looal store elephant is going to be swallowed by the mail order ilea? FARM PROFITS May be largely increased by knowing the exact condition of the farmer's market, and by learning of the best method in farm practice. This is precisely the sort of information the Farmers' Weekly Sun gives in every issue. It has no equal as a Farmer's Business Paper. r Good farmers rely on it. For price see our clubbing offer.

We would ask others who have received accounts to remit as soon as possible. Money is needed to run a newspaper.. -Miss Mina Currie, a High Sohool pupil and daughter of ex -Warden John T. Currie, was taken suddenly ill with aoute appendicitis last week. She was removed to the Hospital and operated on by Drs. Kennedy and Calder. She is progressing satisfactorily since the operation and the doctors now consider her out of danger. It is undoubtedly true that some mail order houses offer certain leaders at less than cost in order to attract orders for other goods at something more than regular prices. It would not pay to send for the cheap article alone, so you make up an order. If you bought the same line throughout from your local dealer, you would save money on the transaction. And so we say, BUY AT HOME. No mail order house has any interest in the little red school houses in your district. Not one of them ever helped you. in distress or let an account stand over till after harvest or pay day, What one of them has ever contributed a cent to our churohes, or helped make better roads in or around Wingham? Does the owner of mail order houses ever meet you in churoh or at lodge? Do they increase the value of a our pro - petty or your farm? Is there anything else besides dollars in this world? If so, make your dollare help those other things and spend your money in Wing - ham, MINOR LOCALS. CATTLE ESTRAY.

More promptitude in the every day things of life is a quality which is much needed in the present day. No matter where you turn, ybu will find the man who is always et little late. Fie gets up a few minutes late in the morning, arrives *. little late at the of - floe, anti on throughout the whole day ho is unable to catch up and is therefore always lagging behind. It is a little thing as things go and yet it oftentimes means a great deal, What is more aggravating to the man who is always on time than to have to wAit on sneh a straggler? Does it not seam strange, that in order to get a quorum at most of the meetings these days, the hour has to be set at 7.30 if the mooting is actual- ly to commence at 8 o'clock? It is a sad state of steaks and yet it is the MOO. The gveetion presents itself, is it wise to pander to this growing evil? Would it not be better to set the hour at eight o'clock and commence promptly on tine? is it not time to reverse the order of things?
