JOHN TAYLOR, Exeter / A Fonw Xmcxpti Laxly micl Ixer Husband Highly jjtoilOJX‘4 One of tliut group of men who have made claring. thorough and sac­ rificial ventures in Christian educa­ tion in China has come to a position of great honor and responsibility in the home church. The appointment of Rev. Charles Rupert Carscallen, hl,A., D.D., as principal and Govern­ or of the Ontaio Ladies’ College, at Whitby, Ont., brings gratification to many who have followed the sjonary careers of Dr. and Mrs. scallen in West China, now on furlough in Educated in the birthplace, Dresden, Chatham Collegiate Dr. Carscallen took ors in philosophy from Victoria College, University of Toronto, in 1901. While at college' he volunteered for the Foreign Mis­ sion Field, and, after finishing Ills course in theology and preaching fox1 a time in Alberta, he went out to Clxengtu in 1914; first as Principal of the Secondary School and later as Dean of the Faculty of Theology of West China Union University. , At the time when civil disturb­ ances required the evacuation of the ^missionaries, he was Vice-President of the University. Mrs. Carscallen, who was former­ ly Miss H. M. Culbert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Culbert, of Lu_ can, Ontario, like her husband, is a gifted public speaker. For some years she acted as Librarian of the West China University. Dr. Carscallen succeeds the late Rev. Frank L. Farewell, B.A., whose administration brought the College .through the trying war period up to the present prosperous times of bal­ anced budget and full enrolment.

Another pleasing feat­ ure was a Japanese motion song, presented by nine girls from Wing­ ham Mission Band, wearing kimons and carrying' parasols, fans chry­ santhemums and Bibles: and show­ ing that in return for those things which Japan has given us, we should give her the Bible. The meeting closed with a few words of inspiration and encourage­ ment by the President, and prayer by Mrs. Weir, of Blyth. The next Presbyterial will be held in James Street United'church, Exeter.

HOW TO FAIL We have seen so many rules for success that perhaps a few sure-fire rules for failure may be interesting. 1. Talk about yourself. Sprinkle the capital I liberally through a long unbroken talk. Your customers who want to talk about themselves and their business will like that. 2. Knock youi’ town. Youi’ cus­ tomers who are trying to drag every bit of businss they can into the com­ munity (and spending money with you to do it) will love you for it. 3. Always be on the lookout to pu^ something ovei’ on youi’ customers or’ your creditors in the hope of a re­ ward. You’ll get it. 4. If you make a mistake, look around to find someone to pin it on Remember, there’s nothing like an infallible man—if he can get away witlx it. 5. Don’t be afraid to show your individuality. The method by which WARNING The Corn Borer Act All corn stubble must be ploughed' under and kept under. If it is dragged up it must be picked off and burned. All otlxei' corn remnants must be either burned or ploughed under. Roll or break your stublie before ploughing. Do not use a toothed cultivator after ploughing. Clean up your barnyard. All clean-up work must be done before May 20th. Do not make prosecutions neces­ sary.1 OSWALD GINN Inspector 4"26-3te your customer has been and is get­ ting, business is likely to be wrong. You npxst cultivate the habit of ex­ perimenting—with his money. . 6. If one of youi’ employees offers you an idea, throw it out and tell him it won’t work. This pomotes good fellowship, and you can sneak around later and use it if it’s any good; *7. Fool yourself that you never get enough for.the job, and then even up the score by holding out on thj£ customer. He’s sure- to come back and get some more of the same treat­ ment. S. Go around with a. chip on your sjiouldei’, and let yout customers know you have temperament. This helps so much when discussing prac­ tical details of a job, and when time is money. 9. Bawl out youi’ employees early and often.' It keeps them on edge to think kindly of you all the time. 10. Hound your customei* for your money. They may'hAve been doing business with you /or/a quarter of a century, but you can’t jeopardize youi’ business by even a day’s grace on a bill for $10.00. 11. Take your orders so low that you must cut quality to break even. Your suctomer nlay overlook your failure to deliver what he bought, and then again he may-not. We can think of a lot more, hut these will help you along -the road.—- How. Fol* Sale By The Ross-Taylor Co., Ltd. - Exeter, Orit* A. Sjpenter & Son * - *>■. - Hensalli Ont»
