If we give a merchant our custom, we have a
right to expect him to advertise—to tell us
weekly in the columns of “The Sentinel” what
he has for us. Advertising is shop news, design
ed to inform us, save our time, and bring to our
attention desirable merchandise.
Every retailer who is alive to the interests of his
customers has a me ssage—often many messages
—for his customers concerning new goods, special
offerings, and things that we ought to know
about. Customers and non-customers will be at
tentive and responsive to these messages, if they
are delivered every week in the for mof adver
tisements lin “The Sentinel”. The way to get more
business is to ask for it.
A NOTE TO MERCHANTS
Would YOU buy much or regularly from firms
that never solicit your trade? Do you not say—
“The firm that wants my business must come af
ter it?”
Yet some of you say, in effect, to your customers
—“We’re here. If you want our goods, come and
get them, but don’t expect us to go after you.”
It’s a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways.

(Toronto Saturday Night)
The United Farmer members of the
Alberta Legislature are in wrong.
The trouble is all over the salary they
voted themselves for services render
ed during the recent five days’ special
wheat board session. For this time
away from the farm they at first vot
ed themselves $200 each; but finding
that the Saskatchewan members got
away with $250, and not wishing
be “pikers,” it was unanimously
greed that their indemnity should
the same. It might not have been
bad if they had made the wheat board
stick, and thus produced some tang
ible results. But when it collapsed,
the voters back on the homesteads
began to think and figure out care
fully what their hired men had done
to warrant such a salary fcr one
week’s work. It was also discovered
that one member who did not even at
tend the session, got his check just
the same. This was too much.
An aroused rural resentment cul
minated in local pew-wows, where
indignant resolutions were passed. It
was decreed that the member who was
not there, and did no work, should re
turn the whole indemnity check to
the provincial treasurer. It was also
agreed that the others should return
the larger portion overpaid to them
selves. The member for Victoria, for
instance, had this ultimatum sent
him: “Return $150 of the $250 indem
nity, or take the consequences.” He
is one of the several who placed
dated resignations in the hands

face a similar predicament, now that
the ire of the farmers is thoroughly
aroused.

but the farmer members there had no
compunction about taking all that was
offered or could be voted. All of
which shows that the farmer in poli
tics is no different from other ordin
ary mortals, when his own financial
reward is under consideration. This
was also manifested clearly in the
Manitoba legislature during the last
session, when an increase in sessional
indemnity was greeted with equal
equanimity amiong the farmer group.
But they were most anxious almost
in the same breath to reduce the sal
aries of civil servants, school teachers,
and so on, in order to keep down the
taxes, and economize—inconsistent,
it is true,’but characteristically sel

begging on the street, and while he
was not in a - position to deny the
charge an investigation of his afairs
showed that he lived in luxury with
his family at a hotel, maintained an
automobile and a chauffeur and had
money to spend in diamonds. His
fortune was made in begging, and
even when it was increased as the re
sult of investments in carnival con
cessions he did not cease begging.
Probably like other successful busi

But the majority of them travel
about to different parts of the city
and to different cities. They pro
bably have some sort of pulpit ex
change arrangement whereby one
will prey on victims of a brother
beggar while the brother fastens to
the victims the other has tempor
arily abandoned. The beggars are
by no means all frauds, but the
great majority of them, even when
maimed, are capable of being trained
to do more useful work than they
are engaged in.
Most of our readers, we -suppose,
will remember the Sherlock Holmes
story concerning the fraud who lived
comfortably in the country on the
proceeds of pennies dropped in his
hat by Londoners who supposed him
to be mutilated, whereas he was per
fectly sound and healthy. Plenty of
counterparts in real life of this char
acter are to be found. Time and
time again investigation has showed
that vagrants pretending to be pen
niless were in possession of plenty
of means. One of them incautiously
begged for a dime to save his life
from a New York detective. The
dime was given, and the detective
followed the man to see him accost
others. Then’he arrested him. When
searched he was found to have $1,517
concealed in his clothes. In July
another New York street beggar was
picked up with $2,000 in his pos
sesion. An Albany beggar, giving
his name as James Tolson had $15,-
000 in bills and Liberty bonds when
examined at police headquarters.
A skirted beggar asked for pennies
for her starving babies, but made the
mistake of asking a detective, who re
torted, “I can see whiskers under
your rouge.” At t he police station
the beggar turned out to be a man
who^said that he was begging to get
a nest egg for his wedding, which
was to occur next da'y.

LIMIT THE SPEED
The Orillia Packet)(From
There is a growing conviction that
more effective means must be found
for curbing the speed of motor cars.
“If the Packet wants to advocate
something in the public interest,” said
Reeve Jeremy, of Orilia Township,
on Monday, “print an article calling
on the Dominion Government to for
bid the sale or importation of cars
that travel more than 25 or 30 miles
an hour.” The Reeve was surprised
to learn that The Packet had already
made that suggestion more than once
but found itself in the role of a voice
crying in the wilderness. Later the
same day, an Orillia garage man
made the same proposal, adding the
infomration that the present ca^s,
and those coming into the country,
could be “sealed” so that they could
not exceed a certain speed. It cer
tainly appears that our legislators
are winking at the breaking of their
own laws, when they restrict the
speed of motor cars to 25 miles an
h^ur and then allow chrs on the road
that can run two or three. times that
fast. As long as cars-are built to run
from 4.0 to 70 miles an hour, some
nconle will drive that rate, risking
their own lives and j those of other
people, and tearing up the roads.
Thirty miles an hour is as fast as
reasonable people want to go on
public highways and it is not fair
that the public should be called to
keep un expensive roads for speed
fiends. By all means l^t the speed
of motor cars be limited to the point
set by the law, if it is practicable to
do so.
