The merchant Itioee business lags in the summer has imself to thank. To slacken the se]lin pace in the hot sea- son—to lessen adhlertising activity—in- dicates a resignatilon which has no place in modern business. If we think we cannot keep our �rusiness booming in summer time, We surely will not. What a jolt it mutt have been to .the fur trade, when t e first mid -summer fur advertisement was run in a daily paper! Now roan fur stores are fol- lowing the exampl of that progressive fur man who dareto believe that fur sales need not go dawn as the mercury goes up. Energy, inked with Adver- tising, has turned e month of Jaun- ary into the bigges selling season,,,for white goods. Ad ertisements of a high stimulati po er, combined with a disregard of "sea . ons," have opened up automobile selling two months ear- lier than wa once thought possible. Advertising has tarted Christmas shopping early in 1 etober instead of the middle of Deee ber. Advertising rises superior to easons and thermo- meters.

A great deal of ork has been ac- complished in the ru al mail delivery service throughout Western Ontario and several counties n the North which fall under the jurisdi tion of the Lon- don district. The plan of applic tion for the rural boxes entails a gr at deal of work. The section of the township is first canvassed by official who glean infor- mation as to the number of farmers who would benefit by the service, the condition of the roads and other facili- ties which might aid in the distribution of the mail. At one time most of this information was obtained through correspondence but it was found that' personal canvass of districts was more satisfactory to the department. Acordingly a staff of three men was giv n by the Govern- ment to Dr. C. T. Campbell, rural mail superintendent and these men travel about proposed sectiens to gather in the necessary informittion. A circular letter is then sent to every farmer in the sectioki canvassed and when replies to 50 ler cent. of these are received a report of the need of establishing a mail system is sent to the Government. If permission is given and the route i authorized ten- ders are called for a d notice is given the applicants to sen in their mail ser- vice fees. The boxes with the appli- cant's name stamp d upon them are then sent and when sufficient boxes are erected the courier with the mail is sent to the district o deliver the mail. Ancient Order of united Workmen. The older members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen (those who joined previous to 1905) will have their monthly dues largely increased after October next. The new table, as pub- lished in The Canadian Workman for July, shows that under this new rate on each $1,000 of insurance the month- ly assessment will be as follows: 50 years of age $2 71 per month 55 years of age $3.30 per month 60 years of age , $4.28 per month 65 years of age $5.60 per month This table of age not to apply on present age of members, but their age as on May 1, 1905 then the later and higher rates came r to effect on those who joined after tha time. For instance a me ber who is 72 to- day will have to pay $5.60 per month per $1,000. But any /of these members are allowed certain', options. First, they can obtain in cosh half of what they paid in assessmt#nt and surrender their certificates. econd, they can surrender their certificate and receive a paid up certificate fpr half the amount of the original certificate. Third, they can surrender one-haltf the amount of the certificate, rece ve one-fourth in cash of what they have paid in and con- tinue paying the regular assessments on the other half.
