Signs Should be Provided to Inform Travellers of Local Advantages. Very soon now the tourist traffic for the 1925 season will commence. We should make things as interesting and attractive as possible for our visi- tors and also for the many travelling Canadians who are going to explore' our highways and byway8. How often when motoring into a cozily situs(ed town or hamlet, we look around the various buildings for some indication of the name of the place. It is probably a very interesting spot to tho passerby and ho might like to remembor•.it particularly. No signs are in evidence anywhere except those .advertising motor car tires and patent medicines, and the interest aroused is apt to die for want of stimulation. Thera are many ways in which we might welcome our tourist friends and snake them aware of our hospitality.

It w111 be noted that the Maritime Pro- vinoes as a group have been able to draw each of several different classes of physical resources into commercial play on a considerable scale. Agrt- culture looms up above the ether pri- mary industries, but forest industries, mining, and fishing have likewise as- sumed large proportions, The Mari. time area, as a whole, exhibits an un- usual degree of both natural and de- veloped diversity. The basic industries of Ontario and Quebec are, of course, on a larger scale, but perhaps the most interest- ing contrast tbey offer to lite Maritime industries lies In their relative indi- vidual stature, Iu this group agricul- ture overshadows the other primary industries more heavily than is the case In the Maritime area, neverthe- less Quebec and Ontario possess great strength in lumbering and mining, and, although fiahing 1s a minor factor, this group presents a new giant in its power -generating industry. Despite the greater predominance of agricult- ure, the Ontario -Quebec division is obviously one of exceptional variety in basic pursuits. The value of the in- dividual Industries is as fellows: Agriculture, 4535,979,000; Forestry, 4170,514,090; Fisheries, 44,947,000; Trapping, $8,226,000; Mining, 576,247,- 000; Electric power, 461,914,000.
