Norry is host to one or more transients who remain for the night and then pass on for other parts. On Friday evening last the editor along with 'Constable Norry interviewed five transients who were comfortably located in the basement of the Town Hall and spent an in­ teresting hour listening to their tales and asking them questions. Some of these young men with practically all of their possessions on their back have seen a great deal of the coun­ try during the past few months and tell some funny stories of treatment along the road. One young fellow in his twenties since August 11th had travelled from Toronto to Van­ couver and from Vancouver back to Ottawa and Montreal and is nosv touring Western Ontario. We asked him if he did much walking and he stated “very little.” Long jumps were made usually by jumping the freight trains and riding the tend­ ers. Asked if there were many tra­ velling this way he stated that some­ times the tender was loaded. An­ other fellow stated that they some­ times rode on the smoke stack when a third popped the question “Did you ever see anyone riding the echo of the whistle?” “How about the grub,” we asked. “Good, bad and indifferent, but we never go hungry. The men protested vigorously against certain relier organizations who sell meal and bed tickets to eit-i izens in some of the larger centres and these in turn are handed to the transients. “Some one is making a good haul out of that sort of thing” said one of them, for in cases where a 25c. ticket had been provided tire meals served was worth less than 10c How about sleeping accommodation? “Well we usually get sleeping coramodation but often it is on cement floor with newspapers nishing the bedding. We can ways pick up old newspapers some of the drug stores”, said of the boys. “Some places they take everything away from us and loci? us up for the night while in some places like this we have a comfort­ able room with fire and mattresses oil which to lie.” Vermin however, is one of the enemies of the tran­ sient and some municipalities never think of fumigating their lodgings The five men mostly young fellows seemed like a happy-go-lucky bunch and were sitting around an impro­ vised table playing cards when we entered. In making their travels from place to place they usually tra­ vel alone as their chances of being picked up by motorists on the high­ ways are greater and they meet up at night at a pre-arranged destina­ tion. Some of them, had been at Seaforth the night before where some local boys had got into trouble with the police and a transient had come to the assistance of the police. One of the boys suggested that we write an article “Transient Comes tc Aid of Police in Quelling Disturb­ ance.” They know fairly well ahead of time about what kind of reception they will receive at the next place One fellow terming this “Bumology” or advanced information picked up from other transients. One of the old­ er men Was concerned about the boys who are parading the country for experience and a so-called good time He was afraid it would get in the blood and have a ruinous effect. For a man out of work and no home however there was only one thing to do and that was to .keep moving Most municipalities will care tor a man for twenty-four hours and he must then move bn. What chance I was there in getting a job under ' these conditions? One of the big- | gest difficulties on the road however I is being able to keep clean and look ■ respectable.

Layers Need a Real Home While there are many factors that enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have (greater influence on the poultry raiser’s success or failure than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no matter how well fed, will not return maximum profits unless well housed. The poultry house is the hen’s home and to be comfortable and give good production, the house should have proper ventilation, insulation and sanitation; it should have a proper location, plenty of light, be dry have ample floor space. and ac- the fur- al- at one He put in this advertisement to prove to a doubting friend that the public reads adver­ tisements. You can imagine the doubter’s consternation when he saw next morning a streetful of men, women and children, each with a cat. Whatever you yourself may do, in regard to the reading of advertise­ ments, know this: Everything print­ ed in a pewspaper gets read, and there are many who read every line —news matter and advertisements —those with lots of time and cur­ iosity. The company or firm with some­ thing to sell —something which thousands of persons can buy— wouldn’t be very wise if it publislh- . ed an inconspicuous advertisement. The right thing for it to do is to crash in on your attention, by pub­ lishing an advertisement which everybody is likely to see. Its job is to make you—a normal man or woman—see its advertise- . ment and to make it so interesting that you'H read it. Then the adver­ tisement must be persuasive. Also, it should incite you to take action. Of course, some advertisements— those of local retailers—may, quite properly, give prominence to prices. Their job may be to direct you, ra­ ther than to inform or"persuade you and to stir you. up to quick action. & The writing, designing and illus­ trating of advertisements intended to capture attention, intrigue in­ terest, convey information, be con­ vincing, breed desire for what is ad­ vertised, and incite the reader to purchase aiA highly specialized jobs If you want to know just how difficult is the job of writing an advertisement which would get 100 marks from a competent judge, try to write one—about a vacuum cleaner, a motor car, a writing ink, a child’s shoe, or anything else, limiting yourself to 300 words or less. kEJWSMI NEIGHBOR JOHN’S KIDS OUT foods dairy wereTen thousand lots of sent to approximately 10,000 farm­ ers of Ontario last year by the Ex­ perimental Union. iSome of the best strains of leading varieties have been ■distributed through this agency to the gain of the farmers. Central potato Grading Established at Toronto Ontario Apple Exports Show Appreciable Results “One of the bright spots in 'agricultural situation, is the increas­ ing volume of apple exports,” stat­ ed P.
