*John W Eedy, editor of The Si.

office of the publicity agent yesterday,
says the London Free Press. The
town of St Marys is contemplating an
extensive publicity campaign. The
amount necessary to pay for advertis.
ing to attract industries is to be pro-
vided partly by the corporation and
partly by the citizens. Clinton would
do well to follow in the footsteps of
St Marys and go to work.

Who Is Knocking Clinton?
Considerable amount of talk was go-

days as to the town oeibicials, in the
way they turned down an advance-

Committee was Mum did not want
it at all, W e have learned since,
it is the intention of 'the Councillors to
report to the County Couneil thatthey
buy from 10 to 15 acres near some
town or village and erect mall cott-
ages and there have all patients that• '

ease. To our mind if land - wits
bought near town, there wotild not be
half as nmeh alarni as in case persons

Presented.'With Rpmemherances
Two pleasant little functions took
place in Listowel on Monday of last
week in both of which G M Yates was
the central figure. Mr Yates takes
the position of Superintendent of the
Doherty Piano Co. at Clinton and

"THE PLUNGERS"
In every line of business conducted
in this wide awake country there pops
up every now and then a daring man
who performs seemingly impossible
achievements. Men like Frick and
Schwab in the manufacture of steel
Harriman in corralling various rail-
roads ; Leiter in wheat ; Morgan in
financing great corporations, All are
known as plungers ; this because
When either of them thinks an enter -
•prise worthy ot attention he puts all
his enerprapd a fabulous amotinta_
capital -into it at once, not waiting for
developments but pushing the venture
to success from the start, In the show
world Ernest Haag is known as the
most daring plunger, being sole owner
of the mighty 'Haag shows. When
this tar famed amusement purveyor
began to bid for public favor, he
launched amodest affair yet be putinto •
it every dollar he possessed, believeing
the public would patronize the show
Which was most worthy. Instead of ..
sending forth a poorly equipped show,
be organized the greatest tent boat
show ever afloat. His list of perform.
era was small, being a first-class all
round performer himself, he was,prin-
eipally, the whole show, but ever try-
ing to please the public and give them
their money's worth or more; the re -
result was, his first venture was an
oyerwhelming success. • After a few
seasons on boat he organized the over-
land show, which grew to be the bigg-
est and best overland ,shove of those .
clays-; then came the , raalroa,dsbow
and once more Plunger Raag startled
the world with his magnitude and dar-
• ing to the last'degree. Every year he
has been raising the standard of his
attractions, until today they are her-
alded es the best equipped, most cons-
plete and pleasing upon the' road.
Many instances of his lavish expendi-
tures are to be found in the display of
his rare and curious species of animal
life in his menageries. The countless
number of handsome horses and cute
little ponies, the priceless herds of
elenhants, drovep-ofecarnels, and hand-
some trains of double length sixty -foot
cars, his massive cages, dens, chariots
and tableaux cars, together with the
great array of high priced talent upon
his pay rolls. Rival managers have
declared that he will go broke.because
of the prodigious amounts interested,
but the mighty Haag, shows have
made a vast amount of money for Ern-
est Haag, who had the nerve to pro-
vide the public so rnamrnouth and in-
valuable an amusement enterprise.
