ROAD Woni .-Some of the path - masters in the townships are making good roads bad, by covering their good gravel road with what is little better than dried out mud and then .putting good gravel on top. of that, which is according to best principles making good roads bad. There are certain principles that must be observed ixi making roads,,and the first is drain- age. Hauling on gravel and dumping it into the mud, without drainage is simply burying money in a hole. And the putting on of.loose gravel in Jar just because the farmers have a lit spare time in that month, spoils ile roads for the whole suniiner as nearly every driver takes the side:of'the• road to avoid the gravel. • Miss Hattie Follick(is visiting friends in Brantford. . . .

The benefit derived from an adver- tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it. To reach the greatest number of readers • at the least possible expense, is az; question that should be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in Tor- onto or London, and distributed in this section, would be just as effective as if the bill had been printed in town. There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach the people in their homes, newspaper advertising is the only successful way. To get the best results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest atnouut o£ local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon whichpricesshould be fixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,()00 charges $100 per year, then one withacirculatlon ()f00() would be entitl- ed to $30. An advertiser should take these facts into careful consideration, when making contracts. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several papers when one covers. the ground. THE Tulips is read by more. people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen, Hay, the northern part of Biddulph. and McGillivray than all other county Paapers combined, and an advertise- ment placed in it gill be found the most effectual way in which to reach the people.
