The Loudest About Business
Are Those Who Don’t Advertise
I
v *Mr. Merchant—did’ you ever thihk to yourself, ’’Why should
people buy at my store?” > .
Do you offer any inducement to bring customers in?
Do you tell people of the service you render, quality
of goods you sell and the conveniences of shopping at
your store?
If you do not make an effort to attract customers,
why cry the blues? _ \

The Influence of a Newspaper
It is unlikely that the vast in-
1 fluence of the newspaper on the life
> of the community in which it is pub
lished is realized by any great
number of its readers. They look
to it for the news of the community;
. they consult it for dates and hours
-of meetings of all kinds—-church,
business, fraternal organizations,
college lectures, schq.pl entertain
ments, agricultural 'developments,
and all gatherings. 1 «
They depend upon it to keep them
Informed of special bargains in the
mercantile establishments. They
also expect it to give them enter
tainment and take their minds off
the sordid news of the wars.
-Subscribers may criticize some of
the features?,, of their., newspapers
when they forget that it is printed
for the entire public, and not for
this group or that, and that its pur-
I pose is to give ail elements in the
community a feeling that it is their
newspaper and interested in all of
them, oi' they laud its broad
principles and the services it ren
ders their town.. But they ’seldom
- take time in a busy world to real
ize fully the enormous influence the
newspaper exerts in the lives and
opinions of its readers who make
up the greater part Of the popula
tion of the region In which it is
published.
The newspaper touches all phases
■of the life of the people in and out
•of the home. By its frank .publica
tion of local news, of all kinds, not
whitewashing Unpleasant facts but
-stating them clearly that readers
may familiarize themselves with
them and use the’ weight of their
individual and collective influence
in voicing disapproval and effect-
untold,
part in
fl
giving them much publicity in its'
columns. It works hard for welfare
enterprise and through its news
columns and its editorial page is of
vast assistance in- persuading citi
zens to lend their support to these
important community efforts.
The newspaper seeks to come-,
near its readers and the place it
•holds in their .estimation is evi-.
denced by the rush to ge.t ‘the
paper’ first when the paper ‘comes
off the press. Father oi* mother or
children hasten to find that which
interests them most, whether it be
Local or provincial or national po
litical happenings, society notes, in
formation on lio.me-making and
housekeeping, agricultural news, or
whatever.,, One paper is ’scarcely
enough for"'a family ‘of' eager read-
'ers. ’
And all the while the. newspaper is
quietly exerting its influence on the
community, boosting what it Ijnows
will.be for the benefit, present and
future; condemning what is bound
to work for its decadence. . The
good newspaper honestly . tries- to
use what it knows must be its power’
in the community for the •'contin
ual improvement of that commun
ity in all departments of its normal
life.
No thoughtful person can deny,
the power of the press noi' the pare
it plays in making local/history,
and no one can wisely make
of that power.

An English inspector whose duty it is to look carefully into the

replaced.^’ That is a highly significant statement. Then men and

THAT INSTRUCTIONAL CLASS
That instructional class in plowing held on the farm of Mr.
Roland Williams, though not largely attended, was of rare interest.
The, day was deceivingly fine, as there was lots of sunshine, but
a cold wind that got right through to the wrong side of our few
garments. Everybody present was there to learn, to teach, to share
his experience and to .help forward the foundation work o,f good
farming. Rarely have we seen a more interested group of men. Over
and over again we heard men say, “Well, I’ve learned a whole lot
today.” An editor did not know that there is as much to plowing
as these practical men pointed .out. A plow is the product of a
. highly developed handicraft, while a good plowman is a workman
that ranks high with the best of artists in any occupation under the
sun.* *******

WHAT WE SAW
There’s no such thing as getting the news by sitting in one’s
office. The editor must get out where things are being done, or
■ what is quite pitiful, he must go where things are being neglected if
he is to get his weekly grist. As we drove over a road we had not
traversed for a few years, we noted the making of a culvert that
used to prove insufficient for the spring and fall high water, into
a 'bridge that was three times as wide as the culvert. Along the
same highway we noted the preparations for widening the road, for
better traffic by winter and summer. The farmers, you see, must
have access to_the markets twelve months in the year. We missed
our way to our destination and inquired at a farm house. ' In a few
words we were set right. “What lovely apples those are,” we com

and the fine old lady’s eyes took on a wistfulness and a 'hopefulness
that augurs well for the future of Canada. “Why don’t you hire
some of your neighbors?” we continued. “They’re situated just as
,we are,” and we thought we heard a sigh laden with loneliness.
’ Next we came upon a farmer busy with his potato digging. All
hands and the cook were at the job. 'Over there under a fine tree

nounced the farmer. “Go .for the cows,” and Rover gave up his
serious work for the ordinary task of bringing up the cows.
Next, we called upon a poultryman who was feeding the fowl.
Evei'y feeding trough was wiped, out before an ounce of feed was
placed therein. No feeding from the litter of the poultry house or
from the trodden ground for these fine birds. The water troughs
were not only emptied of all stale water, but they were scoured
and wiped, before water was ^placed in them. “We fight disease
•by keeping everything as clean as possible,” said the poultryman.
But the glimmering landscape was fading on the Sight and there
was nothing fox* it but to return to.the office, thinking many things
about the farmers’ enterprise and toil and achievements.
