You remember the bedtime story
of the turtle that was pursued by a
bear or something or other and
father, telling the story, said the
turtle escaped py climbing a tree?
“.But,” objected Willie, “turtles
can’t climb trees,”
“Yes,” admitted father, “but this
turtle had to climb a tree.”

Prankish Problem No. 57: A train

its former rate, arriving 3 hours

happened when the train was 50

rived one and one-half hours late.
What was the distance the train
travelled and at what rate?

PERFECTING YOUR ERRORS
If you believe that practice makes
perfect, in one sense you are right.
Practice does make perfect, but do
not fail to observe that it perfects
your errors just as rapidly and in
tensively as it does your successes.
That is why some men who practice
golf year after year get worse in
stead of better. After reaching a
certain degree of proficiency, most
people never improve in any skill.
They practice their errors until they
become perfect in them.

A MATTER OF HABBIT
A Soviet peasant girl, after many
hardships, finally reached Leningrad
to take an examination for a gov
ernment post on which she had set
her heart. She took the examina
tion and felt confident of the ans
wers to all the question but one;
“What is the inscription on the Sar-
mian Wall?”
After considerable gnawing at her
pencil, she hesitatingly put down:
“Religion is the opiate of the mass.”
Doubt assailed her as to the cor
rectness of her answer. Her anxiety
was so great that she trudged seven
miles to the Sarmian wall. There
blazoned in clear lettering, was the
inscription, “Religion is the opiate of
the masses.”
Th girl breathed a sigh of relief,
got down on her knees, crossed her
self, and folding her hands in pray
er, uttered: “Thank God!”

15 PER CENT.
Statistics show that in a cycle of
seven years, eighty-five out of every
hundred gr.ocers that enter business
in America close their doors.
Only fifteen survive. WHY?
Because they fail to please their1
customers.
.In most every other commercial
or industrial business — yes, and
professional as well — the percent
age of failures is on about the
same ratio.
It isn’t lack of capital — for men
with very little capital have made
astonishing progress. It isn’t the
fault of competition, for the busi
ness that pleases rises above Com
petition. It isn’t ad'vertfeinfg nor

Every day the demand is growing stronger- that the Dominion

TWO CHARACTERISTICS
Sir Joseph F'lavelle whose death was an outstanding event in
the business world was, as a business man, characterized by two out
standing features. Said he to the writer, “I would not undertake
an enterprise unless I saw my way to making money by so doing.”
In this regard he did his own thinking. His second characteristic
was his dropping an enterprise before it became a money loser. In
undertaking and letting go in business deals he did no guessing.
He never trifled with his own judgment. He got at the facts and
was guided by them. He knew his last and stuck to it.

That fine Spring day that we enjoyed so much, the Exeter
groundhog called on the farmer who had furnished him with alfal
fa for the winter, squared up for his supply of ensilage at the local
canning'factory, paid his winter’s bill in full for lettuce and cabbage
and carrots at the grocer’s, snapped the nose of an inquisitive puppy,
ascertained where tlfe clover had wintered best and then select
ed a nice, quiet store doorway where the sun’s rays fell warm and
uninterrupted the. live long day. Not a footstep disturbed him those
fine, shining hours. You see the store owner does not advertise.********
THE RIGHT PRINCIPLE
We congratulate our big brother, George.. MeCullagh, of the
Globe and Mail, because he is not thinking of starting a new political
party. New parties and third parties have an unfortunate history
in this country. The much-maligned two-party system is the way
responsible government works out. That is, one of the parties is
selected by and enjoys the confidence of the majority of the voters
of the Province or of the Dominion. The other party’s duty is
constructive criticism of that party and all its works. It never was
intended that any man elected to parliament should think that he
was elected for privileges rather than for service. Unfortunately too
many forget the night of the election that they have solicited and
undertaken of their own account certain very definite responsibil
ities and become self-seekers to the point of utterly neglecting their
sworn obligations. That is, the party system does not work well
because it is. not well worked. An aroused and an informed public
opinion is becoming intolerant of this way of carrying on and is
demanding of its representatives that they work well as fine a sys
tem of government as ever blessed mankind. What 'Canada' demands
of her parliament is a body of worth while legislation.
********
WHY NOT GET IN ON IT?
Exeter has the best opportunity to be. desired to get in on the
third largest industry in Canada, the travel industry. No matter
from which point of the compass the town is approached, the visitor
passes through unusually attractive farm country. Agriculturally
speaking, Exeter is in the centre of about the best show .place in the
Province. Almost inevitably the motorist slows down in admira
tion of the farming region. Why should not, his attention at this
a tourist enters a house of business, it is the opportunity of the deal
point be directed to the offerings of our merchants, of our restaur:
ants and of the other good things in which this town abounds? Onr.p
er to merchandise his wares in such a way that the visitor leaves
the store a good deal more than pleased that he made the call.
In this connection we suggest that study groups, real study
groups, be formed to meet this situation so laden with every kind
of prosperity for the town. An individual may do something along
this line, but co-operation will bring the larger results. Will the
■council, will the churches, will the lodges give a lead in a matter so
important? Rome was not built in a day, but we know that organ
ized, persistent effort in this matter will bring results. We know
that tens of thousands of dollars pass through this town every sum
mer that might as .well remain here and that would remain here
were the travelers aware' of the goods this town has to offer. Why
should not this town engage in a real publicity campaign in this re
spect? Our merchants know how to do this thing and can do it
well. Why should not our town be an active and rewarded partici
pant in the third largest industry in 'Canada?

GRIM WAITING AND WORKING
No, the time of anxiety is not over in Europe. Indeed, those
who know are a little-more anxious than at any period for five years
past. Who knows what tiger spring that strange character, Hitler,
may make at any time? Who knows when the insane fancy may
take him to send His airplanes over London and Edinburgh and
Halifax and Montreal and Toronto. Meanwhile there is nothing for
Britain to do other than to be ready for any vagaj-y that may enter
his peculiar mind. We know that Germany is becoming poorer
and poorer every day. Instead of her recent acquisitions of terri
tory adding to her immediate power they are adding to the heavy
economic burdens She already finds oppressive. It takes money to
develop mines and similar resources, and money and credit Germany
find very short these days. Italy is in much the same unhappy pass
as Germany. There is an old saying that when rogues fall out
honest men get their due. The truth of this maxim is exemplified
in the mutual suspicions developing between Germany and Italy,
For some reason Of which he is not quite aware, Mussolini finds that
the Spanish war has got him nothing. Along with all this goes the
discovery on the part of both German and Italians that their leaders
are not doing very much for them. Both Mussolini and Hitler are
showing themselves to be made of very ordinary elay that does not
support the great figures they would have their .people and the
world to believe them to be,
All of Which means the peace of the world, provided the de
mocracies prepare themselves for any eventuality. So far Britain
has given her main thought and energy to peace and to business.
War for her would be a dreadful contingency, ahd for that conting
ency she is preparing herself with unrelenting Vigor.

LETTER BOX
The following letter was received
from Mr. Gerald Hurdon of Phoeniz,
Arizona by Bill Davis of the Tiines-
Advocate staff.
2210 Van Buren St.
Good Old Bill,
Phoenix, Ariz.
Those newsy little home town
papers,sure seem to hit the right
spot and you’ll never know just how
much they’re appreciated — like a
whiff of the scent of pine trees to a
sun-^aked wanderer of the desert —
some day I hope to be able to repay
your kindness.
You’d probably rather hear of
things and places here iu this be
wildering land, so I’ll lay off the
personal adulations and try to give
you a rather fruity little story of a
celebrated character of pioneer days
whom I had the good fortune to in
terview a few days ago — and here’s
my story, believe it or not —
A few miles outside of the city of
Phoenix in the shadow of Camel-
Mountain stands the nursing home
of Miss Evalyn May, and, there In
his little white-walled room lies the
small frail figure Of an 88 year old
man whose life’s history sounds like
a thrilling adventure story of the
rip-roaring, pioneer days — Ills long
white hair rippling to his shoulders
—- the familiar goatee and mustache
adorn a face lined with character—
the character of an early plainsman
and as he turns to his diminutive ra*
did to tuiie in the serial for which
he fairly lives —- his story —- the
story pf his early life now running
as “The Plainsman”! —- for he is
“Small Bill Cody” now a pauper but
once known from coast to coast as a
scout, sure-shot, trader, show-man,
rustler, scapegoat and world renown
ed figure of the early west — a man
who knew practically all the central
figures of the pioneer days of the
6.0’s •— Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hi
ckok, Pawnee Bill, The Younger
Boys, Billy the Kid, Mark Twain,
Geronimo, and literally hundreds of
others who made history in the days
when a six shooter was man’s best
friend and the ability to draw first,
was the prime requisite to a long
life — but today he is almost alone
and it was through a mutual friend
Princess Red Feather of the Yava-
pais, that we finally induced him to
relate a few of his varied experi
ences — his story, as near as I can
remember now, was as follows:
“They’re just about all gone now:
Some buried in boot-ill cemeteries
some laying out there in the bad
lands, their bones picked clean by
the coyotes — some here, some there ‘Mountain and the trinkets we scrap-

they treated me good and that’s why

(Buffalo Bill Gody) never forgave
me for that — he was a good scout
— everybody liked him — but he
was a suckei’ for publicity — I was

with bad company — saw 5 of m'y

I was known as the ‘knuckle-buster’

have known the time— all from the
hip and just “fanning it” (flipping
the hammer with the palm of your
hand) — old Geronimo taught me
that — he was a slippery old cuss —
they never could keep, him put —
why I knew the time when we two
would step into a town with a wad
of money in our pockets big enough
to choke a horse and lose it all on
the turn of a bird-cage (gambling
device) — easy come, easy go —
there was a way to get more. Yes

the wagon train that was taking
the lumber to build the scaffold to
hang him when Billy shot his way
out of prison and calmly came out
the front door and sat down and
waited for the other jailer to ,go out
and catch his horse for him to ride
out of .town on — cool as a cucum
ber he was and faster on the draw
than greased ligh tilin’. Yep, I knew
Annie Oakley — she travelled with
us in the show you know, but there’s
a gal out there in California who
could shoot far better when she was
14 years old than Annie ever did •—
