FECos reports received by the de -
pertinent of agriculture, there is every
indication that We field crops of Ont-
ario or 1009 will be away ahead of last
year, notwithstanding the fact that
the acreage under cultivation, with
the exception of hay and clover.is less.
For instance, 079,042 acres of fall
wheat were sown for 1908, 66a275 for
1900. There is also a difference of
7,000 acres in spring wheat. Barley
shoWs a decrease of 39,000 acres and
oats one of 70,000. The average num-
ber of the bushels to the acre as com-
pared with former Years is estimated
at 24.1 for fall wheat, and increase of
3,4 over 1908. Spring wheat and rye
also show slight increases, while there
is- a decrease i,n the case of barley, oats
and hay.

T Would delight the heartspf city people it the stories told in some 'lad

Prices we people in the smaller places are supposed to get, and at the
dame time get style and quality. The mail order houses would not need
to spend money on catalogued or Advertising. They could,sell the goods
right at home.. • .
. •
Did it ever occur to you that with style and quality , lacking, it would not be wise
' for these firms to show the catalogued goods in the city? Them customers -would have
an opportunity to examine before purchasing, Is it not possible that some' of the low-
priced goods have been offered to city buyers—that they have been weighed in the bal.
once and found wanting ;but that a cleverly -worded description and possibly an entic-
ing picture may be expected to get rid of these otherwise unsaleable goods to out-of-
town buyers ? • . • •
We do not mean to Insinuate that it is hnpossible to get good merehandise from
mail order houses. That would not be true. But we do say that the better grades will
cost you 3ust as much and sometimes more than the same quality would cost you right •
here in .0.inton. . •
•
. Suppose for the sake of argument, that notwithstanding city expenses taxest rents,
etc., the mail order houses could sell as cheaply as your local merchant ? 'Even in that
!case would it not be better to buy here,where you can see the goods,know exactly what
you are getting, and pay after instead of before you see them ? If you take an article
, to your bone after purchasing it from a merchant in Clinton, and finding that it is not '
the ekamshacle, or shape or size you desired, it is very easy to return and exchange it
for something suitable. if it comes by mail you would probably. prefer to put up with
some imperTection rather than go•to the trouble of repacking and expressing, and then
•
waiting for days until it goes through the distnal round of redtapism in the mail order
• house, through dolma departments, perhaps necessitating considerable correspondence,
in addition to the certainty of additional mail and express charges. ,
• .
• • • •
Have you ever considered how many .times you have used your local merchant as
an accommodation? How often he has extended credit to you or hashelped you to•ob• •
tain perfect satisfaction? He helps to make your property valuable, to support the ba-
zaars and MiSSidhEl. and generally contributes, to social events.. Are these things not
worth anything? Is it not true that unless there is a very decided advantage in dealing
away from home, it is your duty to 'spend your money in Clinton r"
. •
•
We certainly believe that we have shown not only that there is no advantage In
dealing away from home, but that there are many disadvantages. We therefore ask
• you to be fair to the town as to Yourselt. 0O -operate with the other good people of
Clinton in making this a better place to live and do .business in., 3e ioyal to Clinton.
