How’s Business Advertising.-, backed up by the rig-ht spirit, the right goods and the right service, can rescue a sinking business and will make a prosperous bus­ iness more masterful in its own community. When John Wanamaker, the Prince of Merchants, began business, he resolved to force matters. He was not content to WAIT to be found out—he DETERMINED TO BE found out. In short, he advertised. He threw on his business, small as it was, the light of publicity, and the public of Phil­ adelphia entered the shop on which the light shone. In this community the public is entering those shops on which the light of advertising is falling.

The Fall Fair.—About 3,000 people were in the park here to enjoy the an­ nual Fall Fair on Wednesday of last week. People came from long dis­ tances, and they were rewarded by one of the best exhibitions in the his­ tory of the Society, though that is saying a good deal. Deserving of special mention were the exhibits of fruit, ladies’ fancy work, roots and other vegetables. In the opinion of many capable judges, the exhibits of farm stock never be­ fore was equaled in the history of the fair. Speeding in the ring was the feat­ ure attraction, the four hundred dol­ lars offered in prizes having attracted a fine list of competitors. The Luck­ now Pipe Band enlivened the. day with music. The Bob Wilson Company which gave a concert in the evening- drew a jammed house, more than a hundred being turned away. The entertain­ ment was first-class—Bob Wilson, Comedian; Edna Reid, soprano; Helen Codd, Classic Dancer, and Grace Bon- nick, accompanist, making up a splen­ did troup. ------o-o-o------ You can’t expect foreigners to un­ derstand a language that says a man is down and out when he is hard up and all in .

THE standard Remedy There are several different features in the November issue of Rod and Gun in Canada, which combine to make it a particularly attractive num­ ber. The well-known writer, Harry M. Moore, is at his best in “Sar’ Ann,” an interest-gripping tale, and there are other stories that are of a high quality. The article, “Logs,” descrip­ tive of the logging and lumbering in­ dustry and of scenes and incidents in the lives of the brawny men who lab­ or in it, is one of outstanding quality, How the Government Co-operates With Local Associations. Individual Farmers, the Township Council and the Government Pool Subscriptions — Managed by a Local Board — Ten Associations Already Doing Business. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) There is one distinctive difference between the system of long-term Ipans and the system of short-term loans recently inaugurated in this Province. Those who have followed the preceding articles will have ob- seryed that long-term loans are made direct by the Agricultural Develop­ ment Board, 5 Queen’s Park, To­ ronto. In contrast to this, no short­ term loans are made by the Board, but are made solely through local associations organized for this purpose. Short Time Credits Described. The reason for this difference in method of operation lies in the differ­ ence in the nature of the security and the nature of the loan. In the matter of long-term loans, the secur­ ity is a first mortgage on land, and the personality of the borrower, while important, is secondary. In the short-term loans, the security is a note or lien on chattels, and the personality of the borrower, and his reputation - in the community, is one of the big determining factors. Then, too, the loan is usually a small one With $2,000 as the maximum, the average loan will no doubt be a good deal under $1,000. It would, there fore, be physically impossible for any central office to grant and supervise loans in all the different sections of the Province for small amounts. No other system of granting short-term loans on personal or chattel security by a central office for a whole Pro­ vince is in existence. Such loans may, however, be granted with reasonable safety by local committees familiar with all the circumstances. Not So Difficult. Accordingly, a plan of organiz­ ation of local farm loan associations has been devised, and this is not so difficult as might at first appear A membership of thirty is required, and each member must take om share of stock, value $100, and make a payment of 10 per cent., or $10. This stock represents capital, and is hold in reserve. There Is little like­ lihood of any farther payment evei being required on capital account After the necessary membership is signed up, the township council and die Government are each asked tc appoint two directors, and subscribe lor one-half the amount of stock 3 ibscriped by local members; this tc be added to the reserve. When these directors have been appointed, the association elects a president, vice president and one director. These officers, with the two Government directors and the two township di rectors, constitute a board of seven v\ hich, thereafter, looks after th< business ol the association. A sec­ retary-treasurer is appointed, and he .s the only paid officer permitted When the association is thus formed it continues from year to year with the usual annual election of officers, and applications for loans can then be made from time to time to the secretary-treasurer, who will arrange to have them considered by the di­ rectors. In practice, it will probably be found desirable to have meetings at stated periods for the consideration of the loans. In this way, loans may be passed without any inconvenience either to the borrower or to the directors. Associations Already Formed. Although this plan has Deen be­ fore the farmers of the Province for only a few montn, ten associations have been formed, and are doing business, while two others have been formed, but have not yet passed on loans? Loans granted range from $125 to $1,800, in individual cases and are for all manner of purpose! in connection with farm work. They are repayable at the end of the yeai with interest at 6 l/2 per cent., but, o. course, may be renewed for anothei year if the directors feel that suci renewal is justified. Each applicant submits to the as sociation a detailed statement of hi. assets and liabilities, and also signs, a promissory note. The application is then endorsed by the presiden; and secretary of the association anc sent in to the Board for approva and for issuing of cheque to coves the total amount loaned to an asso ciation. While, therefore, the sub ject is approached from the stand point of helping the man on the lane in carrying out his farming opera tions, it will be seen that due regarc is paid to the question of security and if reasonable discretion is exer­ cised there is no reason why any ot tae money so loaned should go astray Well Distributed. ( The number of associations nov. doing business is regarded as a very satisfactory start. With the nev. system it was not expected that such associations would spring up in a night all over the Province, noi was it regarded as desirable that such should occur. The associations now in existence are well scattered over the province. The Board of Directors selected includes some of the very best farmers in the country. Their interest in the matter and their public-spirited efforts to assisi their neighbors in the matter of fin ance gives the associations organized a good standing in their respective communities. The future of this plan is now ir. the hands of the farmers themselves. It was placed on the Statute Book as an alternative system of merit in itself, and of value as an alternative where other agencies were found in: adequate or unsatisfactory, The Kidneys The office man and the outdoor worker suffer alike from derange­ ments of the kidneys. Backaches and headaches are among the symptoms. In some cas?s Bright’s disease soon de­ velops, others suffer from high blood pressure until hardening of the arteries sets in. In order to forestall painful and fatal diseases prompt action should be taken at the first sign of trouble. Mr. A, D. MacKinnon, Kirk­ wood, Inverness county, N.S., writes: “I can highly recommend Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills to all suffering from weak kidneys, 1 suffered from kidney disease for a long time. I may also say that for three years I was nearly always troubled with headaches, and no treat­ ment seemed to do more than afford temporary relief. I was finally told of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and after using a few boxes was completely relieved. I have also used Dr. Chase’s Ointment with the best results, and never fail to recommend these wonderful remedies.” Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills, one pill a dose, 25c a box, all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto. THINGS WE FORGET When you get up in the morning and pull on your worsted socks does it ever occur- to you that the word worsted indicates thdt this material vas first made at the town Worstead? You then put on your suit of cheviots >r tweeds, and slip a cambric hand­ kerchief in your pocket, thereby call- 'ng to mind that this delicate fabric was first woven at the French town of Cambria. You come down to breakfast and enjoy a cup of Mocha, and when you get ready to go out afterwards you don your Ulster or Chesterfield if it is a cold day, or in summer put your Panama on your head. An amazing number of the articles which we use every day of our lives are named after the towns from which they originally came, though in many cases their manufacture is today car­ ried on in places totally different. Huddersfield, for instance, has re­ placed Worstead as the centre of the worsted industry, while Panama hats are imported chiefly' from Ecuador, in South America, and Mocha coffee (so-called) is grown principally in Java. Better Cambric is made today n Belfast that ever Cambria pro­ duced. Among other articles of attire which we call by the names of the towns which they originally came from are the Inverness cape and the Leghorn hat. The cape is still more of a favorite in Scotland” than else­ where; Leghorn hats, with their wide brims, are to this day made from Leghorn straw, though the manufac­ ture goes on in several other places. Balbriggan, which has given its name to a certain type of cotton hos­ iery, is a small watqring-place some twenty-two miles northeast from Dub­ lin. Melton is another fabric which reminds us of a town, now perhaps better known as a hunting centre than for its manufactures. It is nearly a century since any pottery has been made at Delft.

It has, indeed, vulnerable points but it has sheet armor too. Under it the town drunkard has be­ come extinct. A few years ago he was a conspicuous figure in every com­ munity. If he was married, his child­ ren were bootless and his wife a washerwoman. If he was single, he was rentfree, sleeping in odd corners. Innocent of vocation, he did 'odd jobs for odd pennies, but in general his means of existence was a mystery. He was the one man who had the se­ cret of getting to the very bottom >of the scale and it seemed inevitable that he should stay there. But he is there no more. Today he works; he worked yesterday and he will work tomorrow. He wears decent clothes and he has money in his pock­ et, He respects himself, and other people respect him, too. The town drunkard has passed. ------o-o-o------ Mrs. Thomas Splan of near Kin- garf were on a trip to Vancouver, B. C. when Mrs. Splan was taken ill with appendicitis.

ABOUT ENSILAGE CORN Choose Best Varieties For Live Stock Fodder. Should Ripen at Least a Few Ears— The Grain Is Nourishing—Frozen Corn Preferred to Immature— , Harvesting Root Crops. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The highest grade of corn silage is made from those varieties of corn that produce a large proportion of grain in the total weight of crop. Large growing southern, varieties of dent corn that give an immense green weight of fodder per acre will as a rule produce a very poor silage under Ontario conditions. Many dairymen prefer flint varieties and the smaller stalk varieties of early maturing dents for silage purposes. From such a rich sweet silage can be made. The weight per acre may not be nearly as great as with the late maturing large growing dents, but when the silages are compared on the digestible dry matter basis the smaller growing earlier maturing | dents and flints have the advantage. Use Corn Ripening Some Ears. The experience of the past has shown that only such varieties as will ripen at least a few ears should be used. In early years of silo ex­ perience in Ontario the practice was ter grow big corn. Little attention was paid to the ^grain yield; much poor silage resulted from the twelve to four teen-foot stalks that went in­ to the silo without the very neces­ sary two pound well glazed ear. Hard experience has demonstrated that there is more milk, beef or butterfat in a cubic foot of silage made from corn that would husk but one hun­ dred bushels per acre, than from a corn crop that consists of big juicy stalks only. The Best Varieties. Golden Glow, Essex Dent, Wiscon-- sin 7, Baily, North Western Dent, Compton’s Early, Longfellow, Sal­ azer’s North Dakota and King Philip are varieties well suited to Ontario conditions. These varieties will ripen In the southwestern counties of On­ tario, and they will generally reach the roasting ear state over the greater Dart of the dairy section of ine province. The greatest quantity, of digestible dry matter is to be ob-[ tained from a corn crop when it has reached the condition to cut for husk-i ing, ripe enough to complete matur-j ity in the shock. Another advantage in growing the earlier maturing va-[ rieties is that such can be ensiled' early in September and the land pre-, pared for ^utuain wheat, an import­ ant factor now that the European! Corn Borer has become a menace to corn growing. «*• j Frozen Corn Preferred to Immature., I The freezing of corn after it has' reached the denting or early glaze stage does not materially injure in so far as silage making goes. It is always advisable to run the risk of frost, rather than ensile the corn in an immature state.—L. Stevenson, Seo. Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto. Harvesting Root Crops. Roots crop should be taken up be­ fore the weather becomes too wet and disagreeable in the fall if in any quantity. It is slow work at any time, and becomes much more so under cold damp conditions. Lift the roots with a digging fork and twist off the tops, putting them in piles and covering with the tops. If a large area is to be lifted, and one is expert with a sharp hoe, he can very quickly remove the tops, but they will not keep quite as well. The roots should be ploughed out, throw­ ing them as much as possible on the top. Bins with slatted sides and bot-^ join should be used for. storage where possible, as this gives the roots a chance to sweat. If the storage room, temperature is above 40 deg. F., cover [them with sand. Carrots should not be deeper than two feet in a bin, others may fie four feet. Where cellar, storage is not available use pits. These should be three feet wide, two or three feet high and of any length., Run the pits north and south where possible and have them on well-drain­ ed ground. Put a layer of straw on the ground and cover first with straw six inches deep, then six inches of earth, and as the frost gets harder cover with fresh strawy manure. Have ventilators every 15 or 20 feet, as all roots sweat in storage. These may be filled with straw during cold periods. i All roots should be as free from dirt as possible when put in storage. It is often advisable to leave a few days in small piles so that at the second lifting any adhering will be moved.—A. H. MacLennan, O. A.
