THE STEADY ADVERTISER WILL 1
BEAT THE MAIL ORDER
An exchange says that one of the
most uncountable feature of advertis-
ing in the towns and smaller .places
is that the merchants in these places
make the mistake of wuithdrawing ;
their advertisements from the local
Pavers during ; the dull seaso,its and
particularly after the Christmas and
New Year's holidays just at the time
when all the Mail Orderhouses are
making thea' .most desperate efforts
to work off their surplus stock and
are flooding the mail with their offers i
of great "bargains", Just fancy what
people would think of the. local merch
ant rvho offers ,a customer goods less
than fifty per cent. off previous and
regular .orice. For example one Mail
Order house offers Coon coats selling
regular at from $110 to $120 for $150
and caller alluring offers are advertis-
ed. Ute cannot ;but wonder whether
the pri.e at which .these goods are
said to be worth, is not an extortunate
Price or if the Mail Order house is not
lying in order to make people think
they are 'getting something for no-
thing. No legitimate business can be
carried,,onwith genuine fifty per cent.
reductions ari 1 when one remembers
that one Departmental Store is said to
have made a profit of over a million
dollars last year, it strengthens the
suspicion that people are not getting
the "bargains" they are led to believe
and expect. It its a safe bet that a
mall who gets goods exceedingly low
priced must be getteag inferior goods.
One Departmental - Store.,gives its or-
ders, r1Make - us so many articles that
we can sell at so nrtrch," and of cour-
se the house must snake .inferior goods
or lose money, and none of us are in
business for our health.

33rd OFFICERS MEET.
Clinton Feb. 5.—At the annual meet
ing of the officers of the 33rd Regi-
ment here today, the question of strain
Mg either in June or August was dis-
cussed ,thoroughly, and the majority
were strongly.in favor of August.
It was pointed out that under pres-
ent
res
ent conditions, it is impossible to get
the young farmers in June. Recruit-
ing officers have had the hardest kind
of work for several years past ,n get-
ting even a small peirsentage' of 'eal-
ly goad men to turn out,
Many of:the officers were most em-
phatic hatic regarding conditions, and it was
shown that many had resigned ,rather
than undertake the task of recruiting
under conditions which have prevailed
The officers generally, favored God••
erich as a place to train In preference
to Lonldon on account of better
grounds.
The officers present were: Lieut:
Col. Wilson of Seaforth , who press d
elajors Combe, Rance, Shaw and Mc-
Taggart of Clinton,: Capts. Dunlop

T, B. Carling, Clerk,
It was the 17th anniversary of the
dedication of the church, and in spite
of the stormy weather all services
were well attended.. Rev. R C. Ber-
ger, Superintendent of Sunday Schools
acid Y. P. A. work, of Cleveland; Ohio
preached excellent sermons morning
and evening. He is a fluent speaker
and holds the attention of his con-
gregation throughout. He has the
happy gift. to move you to tears and
laughter in a moment. His discourses
twill'be long remembered by those
who were fortunate to hear him. Oen
Sunday afternoon he`gave an address
to the Sunday school on the work
pertaining` thereto, and dealt partic-
ularly with the Home Department and
the Cradle Refl. On Monday evening
he gave an address on, his trip to and
from Zurich, Switzerland, .where he
attended the World's Sunday School
convention. His ability to convey his
ideas en word .pictures was quite ap-
parent, and although his address was
lengthy, not one left weary, but could
have listened for a much lornger time.
Special rnention .must be made to the
choir of 50 voices, which' had been
trained °for• the occasion under the
leadership of Mr. Albert Morlock,
Their singing was of a high order,
We must not forget the solos of Miss
Oestreicher of, Dashwood and Miss
Kuhn of Cxediton, which were much
appreciated. The ladies and the
Male Octette sang several seleeti'ans
which were delightful to hear, Had
the weather been more favorable gains
anniversary would have been the best
ever,

Did anyone say it .was not cold the
past few days? Ask the rural mail
