50th Anniversary.— Penetangore
Lodge No. 1'72, I.O,O.F., Kincardine,
will celebrate the 50th anniversary
of its institution on Wednesday even-
ing, Sept. 9th. The Grand Master,
Bro. A. E. Ross, and other prominent
Oddfellows will be present,
Numbering the Highways.- Resi-
dent engineers are now receiving
metal numbers to be placed on poles
along the Provincial Highways These
numbers will also be placed on poles
throughout cities, towns and villages,
and motorists should then have no
trouble in finding their way in and
out of urban municipalities.
A Busy Season Now.—Just now,
ragweed and golden rod are having
their fling at sensitive noses, with the
result that many hay fever victims
are flying to Northern resorts as hav-
ens of refuge. It is interesting to
note that the clinic for hay fever and
asthma is now the largest at the New
York Hospital and keeps four doctors
and half a dozen nurses busy two
afternoons a week. Last year more
than 1,500 patients applied for treat-
ment.
Advertising Did It.—Wrigley, the
chewing gum man, has explained how
he built up a business of millions of
packages a day. He has done it by
sticking to his one line and advertis-
ing it. He spends over a million dol-
lars a year in buying newspaper space
to tell the world about 5 cent chew
ing gum. He has educated people to
chew gum and to chew Wrigley's. He
did not stop shouting as soon as he
attracted attention. He says you must
keep it un or the buyers will forget
you. Whether yours is a 5 cent or a
$50,000 business, keep telling about
it.
Died in Idaho.—The following from
the Daily Statesman of Boise, Idaho,
will be read with regret by many
readers of The Post. Mr. Coates was
a son of Mrs. Coates, of town:
"George Coates, 51, deputy game
warden for Blaine county, and form-
er State senator and representative,
dropped dead at his home early Fri-
day morning shortly after he arose,
Heart disease was the cause of death.
His wife was with him when the end
came. Mr. Coates served as Repres-
entative from Blaine county in 1909,
and in 1911 he was elected State sen-
ator. He was active in Blaine coun-
ty politics, and at one time was chair-
man of the Republic central commit-
tee. Mr. Coates was born in Ontario,
Canada. and came to Idaho as a young
man. He engaged in the grain busi-
ness, and later in cattle and sheep
raising. He served 16 years as a
member of the Bellevue School Board
Besides hie widow he is survived by
five children as follows: Jack, 18;
Kenneth, 15; Robert, 12; Enid, 10;
Timothy, 4. The funeral will be held
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
home in Bellevue."
inspector M. H. Moore Ordered to
Move to Stratford: (Listowel Banner)
—Word was recently received by Li-
cense Inspector M. H. Moore from
the Department at Toronto, orrlerine-'
him to move to Stratford. Last Fall
when an office was opened for Mr.
Moore in Stratford he was asked to
move to that city at that time, but ap
extension of time was granted. Mr.
and Mrs. Moore and family expect
to move to Stratford about Sent, 7.at.
Mr. Moore has been a resident of Lis-
towel for the past twelye years, mov-
ing here from Brussels where he had
lived about twenty years. On coming
to Listowel he practised as a yeterm-
ary surgeon 'until January, 1923,
when he was given the annointment
of License Inspector. He has been a
good citizen and hie friends here
will regret his and Mrs. Moore's de-
parture to reside in Stratford. Miss-
es Norah and Greta and Elston Moore
will be greatly missed in the younger
set at Listowel. All three have been
students of the Listowel High school
and took an active part in the sport
of the school. Elston Moore has been
a valued member of the W.F.A. team
and the Hough Cup team.

Fines—Whiteside.— An interesting
wedding took place at the United
Church parsonage, Hensall, on Satur-
day last, when Miss Harriet Ruth
(Hattie) Whiteside, second da.2ghter
of High Constable Whiteside and Mrs.
Whiteside, of Goderich, became the
bride of Edmond Fines, of the Clinton
Collegiate staff. The ceremony was
performed by the United church min-
ister, Rev. A. Sinclair. Afterwards
the young couple left on a honeymoon
trip through the Thousand Islands
on their return from which they will
take up residence in Clinton. A few
evenings prior to her wedding the
bride, who until recently was a resi-
dent of Hensall, was the guest of hon-
or at a gathering of a number of the
young ladies of that village, A pro-
gram of music, games, etc., was car-
ried out and the bride-to-be was
"showered" with a large number of
articles which will be useful in her
new home.
Interesting Announement.— Word
comes from Montreal that that great
family and farm paper, The Family
Herald and Weekly Star has been en-
abled to reduce its subscription rate
to One Dollar a year. This certainly
will be interesting news in every Can-
adian home where the Family Herald
is known and to many who will avail
themselves of the offer. At Two Dol-
lars a year The Family Herald and
Weekly Star was generally admitted
to be good value, in fact a big value,
but when reduced to One Dollar a
year it will certainly be the marvel of
the newspaper world. Canada is
proud of that great weekly, and has
every reason to be so, as it has no
superior and few equals in the world
to -day. The Publishers announce that
notwithstanding the change in price
every feature will not only be inam-
tained•but improvements will follow.
The Publishers are fortunate in being
in a financial position to do this, and
the Canadian homes will have the ad-
vantage. When the new rate is made
known it certainly will bring a rush of
subscribers to the Family Herald. One
Dollar is a small amount for such a
great paper.
A BAD BLUNDER
One of the worst blunders ever
made by a blundering compositor has
just been told us by a friend of ours
who is a shining light in journalism.
This enthusiastic writer had been
smitten by a fair damsel he met at a
dancing party, and in writing up the
charmer's costume in his account of
the affair, he concluded the little par-
agraph by saying: "Her.dainty feet
were incased in shoes that might have
been taken for fairy boots." Imagine
his dismay when he found that the
compositor had made his tribute read:
"Her dirty feet were incased in shoes
that snight have been taken for ferry
boats."

Sums Ep Present
Political Situation
The Ottawa Citizen, formerly Cona
servative and now independent, suns
up the present political situation in
an illuminative editorial appearing
Aug, 25th. Comment is made on Mr,
Mackenzie King's statement to the
Canadian public on August 24th, and
also to recent public utterances of the
leader of the Opposition, Rt. Hon.
Arthur Meighen. The editorial which
speaks for itself is as follows:
Mr. King's Statement
The crux of Mr. King's t to thstate-
ment Canadian ublic re-
garding the propriety of calling
an election at this juncture, a
statement which has been in-
spired mainly through Mr. Mei-
ghen's platform utterances, is
contained in the passage which
says:—
"Mr. Meighen forgets that the
only alternative in the way of
governmental policy he has to
offer is the program of 1921,
on which he was so roundly de-
feated, not having carried a
single seat in six provinces out
of the nine, and that it was this
identical program he put for-
ward anew in the form of a
manifesto when parliament as-
sembled at the last session, and
which, when presented in the
House of Commons on June
2nd, as an amendment to go in-
to supply, was voted down on
a division of 147 to 32."
Mr. Meighen's speeches dur-
ing the last week or two have
been the same speeches he
made four years ago in all es-
sentials, with the addition of
some grievances discovered dur
ing the months he has been in
opposition.
Meighen's One Cry
He is promising Canada to
give new life to industry in
order to stimulate the de-
velopment of natural resources
to increase traffic on the rail-
ways, to reduce taxation, in
brief to bring prosperity all
around, by—'an immediate re-
vision of the Canadian tariff
on a definitely and consistently
protective basis." After near-
ly sixty years of protection,
Mr. Meighen's solution of nat-
ional ills is—more protection.
Mr. Meighen continues to
call for an election. At St.
Catharines on Saturday, he a-
gain challenged the Prime Min-
ister to dissolve Parliament and
once more accused Mr. King
of placing party-exnedlency be-
fore national business needs.
There is at least as much jus-
tification for accusing Mr. Mei-
ghen of precisely the swine
thing.
Conservatives Nothing to Offer
The belief, indeed, that a
general election would help
business is founded on nothing
more substantial than a hone.
Small reason exists, as a mat-
ter of fact, for thinking that an
election would stimulate busi-
ness, or, at any rate, give it a
lasting boost. Even were the
Conservatives returned to pow-
er, they have nothing to offer
that has not been tried before
and found inadequate. Mr.
Meighen talks of the great
"need of economy," but over-
looks the opportunity to point
out precisely where he would
apply economy to national ex-
penditures.
As to the prospect of Con-
servative success, there is little
indication that they could sec-
uure a clear majority. While
New Brunswick and Nova Sco-
tia may spell success to Mr.
.Meighen's party, they may also
mean nothing of the kind. At
least they mean no more than
the success of the Liberals in
Saskatchewan means to Mr,
King. From present indication
the next election is going to be
like the last one so far as the
West is concerned. The West
Ms the choice of continuing
with Mr. King's policies or try-
ing Mr. Meighen's. And as
most people know, the West
views increased protection as
more likely to lead to deeper
economic discontent than other-
wise..
To the people as a whole, the
choice is much the same. lousi-
ness is a natter of purchasing
power and no argument of sub-
terfuge can change the fact.
What have the Conservatives
to suggest that will inrreasa
that newer among the citizens
of Canada? Extremely little,
and so the business cry loses
its force. Anelection will clear
the air politically end would
disperse the current uncertain-
ty, and on that basil would be
a good thing, but so far as ec-
onomis conditions go, it is the
same contest that was held in
1921,"
BUSINESS SECRET REVEALED
One of the secrets of success in
business, remarked Sir Thomas Lip-
ton recently, is to fill a cusotmers ore
der exactly as given; for you may be
sure that he knows better than you
do precisely what his requirements
are. A tradesman may err, even with
the hest intentions.
For instance, continued Sir Thomas
there was the ease of the newlyen-
gaged young man who informed the
lady of his choice, aged 24, that h:
was sending her a rose for every year
of her age.
To ihe florist he gave the order to
send the lady two dozen of the finest
red roses he could procure.
"He is a good custoreeten remarked
the florist to his assistant, who was.

TIMI1 TO COMR1NE
The absentee landlord used to be I
one of the curses that made for bad
feeling and hatred in Ireland amongst
the tenant farmers in the old days,
The Land, Act of '81 and succeeding
legislation emancipated them however
from a thralldom intolerable and un-
believable to farmers in this' country.
But in Ontario we have a variant
of absenteeism which hat lasted loo
enough, and people are getting tired
of members of the House of Ottawa
who only attend when it suits them.
The revolt is begining in Toronto, and
without mentioning any names, the
time has come when Liberal candida-
tes should at lease Kaye a look in.
Unfortunate splits in the local par-
ty have done the Liberal cause injury,
but fortunately not irreparable harm.
The time has arrived when those who
have the interests of the cause at
heart, should forget their differences
and combine to show a united front

UNSURPASSED AMUSEMENT
:PROGRAMME AT THE
WESTERN FAIR.
The Amusement Programme at the
Western Fair, Sept. 12th to 19th, will
provide wholesome entertainment of
a calibre never previously attained,
The free attractions in front of the
Grand Stand have been selected with
great care and no expense spared in
providing a programme of outstatld-
ing quality, concluding with a Fire-
works Display which represents tlie
supreme achievement in Pyrotechnic
art.
Johnny J. Jones famous shows will
occupy the Midway, and for whole-
some entertainment and amusement
the Jones Shows are in a class by
themselves. Mr. Jones is recognized
as America's greatest showman and
is noted for providing shows and
amusement devices which are above
reproach.
All patrons of the Exhibition may
rest assured that the amusements on
the Midway are the finest that can be
secured an this continent, Special
rides and amusement devices are pro-
vided for the children.

owners and visitors to the Exhibition
arc assured excellent races under
ideal conditions.
BANKS AMALGAMATED
The amalgamation of two large
Canadian banks took place on Sept-
ember 1, when the Union Bank join-
ed with the Royal Bank of Canada.
The Union Bank of Canada was es-
tablished in 1865, and has been re-
garded as particularly a Western
bank, Its head office was in Winni-
peg, and the majority of its branches
served the farming sections of the
Prairie Provinces, The Royal Bank
of Canada was incorporated in 1869
as the "Merchants Bank"of Halifax,"
the name being changed to the pres-
ent title in 1901, and the head office
transferred from Halifax to Montreal
in 1907.
Thepurchase of the Union Banat
by thoyal brings the lank a total
of over 800 branches in the Dominion
and more than 100 abroad, while the
total assets will be well over the 700
million mark,

result that many hay fever victims
are flying to Northern resorts as hav-
ens of refuge. It is interesting to
note that the clinic for hay fever and
asthma is now the largest at the New
York Hospital and keeps four doctors
and half a dozen nurses busy two
afternoons a week. Last year more
than 1,500 patients applied for treat-
ment.
Advertising Did It.—Wrigley, the
chewing gum man, has explained how
he built up a business of millions of
packages a day. He has done it by
sticking to his one line and advertis-
ing it. He spends over a million dol-
lars a year in buying newspaper space
to tell the world about 5 cent chew
ing gum. He has educated people to
chew gum and to chew Wrigley's. He
did not stop shouting as soon as he
attracted attention. He says you must
keep it un or the buyers will forget
you. Whether yours is a 5 cent or a
$50,000 business, keep telling about
it.
Died in Idaho.—The following from
the Daily Statesman of Boise, Idaho,
will be read with regret by many
readers of The Post. Mr. Coates was
a son of Mrs. Coates, of town:
"George Coates, 51, deputy game
warden for Blaine county, and form-
er State senator and representative,
dropped dead at his home early Fri-
day morning shortly after he arose,
Heart disease was the cause of death.
His wife was with him when the end
came. Mr. Coates served as Repres-
entative from Blaine county in 1909,
and in 1911 he was elected State sen-
ator. He was active in Blaine coun-
ty politics, and at one time was chair-
man of the Republic central commit-
tee. Mr. Coates was born in Ontario,
Canada. and came to Idaho as a young
man. He engaged in the grain busi-
ness, and later in cattle and sheep
raising. He served 16 years as a
member of the Bellevue School Board
Besides hie widow he is survived by
five children as follows: Jack, 18;
Kenneth, 15; Robert, 12; Enid, 10;
Timothy, 4. The funeral will be held
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
home in Bellevue."
inspector M. H. Moore Ordered to
Move to Stratford: (Listowel Banner)
—Word was recently received by Li-
cense Inspector M. H. Moore from
the Department at Toronto, orrlerine-'
him to move to Stratford. Last Fall
when an office was opened for Mr.
Moore in Stratford he was asked to
move to that city at that time, but ap
extension of time was granted. Mr.
and Mrs. Moore and family expect
to move to Stratford about Sent, 7.at.
Mr. Moore has been a resident of Lis-
towel for the past twelye years, mov-
ing here from Brussels where he had
lived about twenty years. On coming
to Listowel he practised as a yeterm-
ary surgeon 'until January, 1923,
when he was given the annointment
of License Inspector. He has been a
good citizen and hie friends here
will regret his and Mrs. Moore's de-
parture to reside in Stratford. Miss-
es Norah and Greta and Elston Moore
will be greatly missed in the younger
set at Listowel. All three have been
students of the Listowel High school
and took an active part in the sport
of the school. Elston Moore has been
a valued member of the W.F.A. team
and the Hough Cup team.

Fines—Whiteside.— An interesting
wedding took place at the United
Church parsonage, Hensall, on Satur-
day last, when Miss Harriet Ruth
(Hattie) Whiteside, second da.2ghter
of High Constable Whiteside and Mrs.
Whiteside, of Goderich, became the
bride of Edmond Fines, of the Clinton
Collegiate staff. The ceremony was
performed by the United church min-
ister, Rev. A. Sinclair. Afterwards
the young couple left on a honeymoon
trip through the Thousand Islands
on their return from which they will
take up residence in Clinton. A few
evenings prior to her wedding the
bride, who until recently was a resi-
dent of Hensall, was the guest of hon-
or at a gathering of a number of the
young ladies of that village, A pro-
gram of music, games, etc., was car-
ried out and the bride-to-be was
"showered" with a large number of
articles which will be useful in her
new home.
Interesting Announement.— Word
comes from Montreal that that great
family and farm paper, The Family
Herald and Weekly Star has been en-
abled to reduce its subscription rate
to One Dollar a year. This certainly
will be interesting news in every Can-
adian home where the Family Herald
is known and to many who will avail
themselves of the offer. At Two Dol-
lars a year The Family Herald and
Weekly Star was generally admitted
to be good value, in fact a big value,
but when reduced to One Dollar a
year it will certainly be the marvel of
the newspaper world. Canada is
proud of that great weekly, and has
every reason to be so, as it has no
superior and few equals in the world
to -day. The Publishers announce that
notwithstanding the change in price
every feature will not only be inam-
tained•but improvements will follow.
The Publishers are fortunate in being
in a financial position to do this, and
the Canadian homes will have the ad-
vantage. When the new rate is made
known it certainly will bring a rush of
subscribers to the Family Herald. One
Dollar is a small amount for such a
great paper.
A BAD BLUNDER
One of the worst blunders ever
made by a blundering compositor has
just been told us by a friend of ours
who is a shining light in journalism.
This enthusiastic writer had been
smitten by a fair damsel he met at a
dancing party, and in writing up the
charmer's costume in his account of
the affair, he concluded the little par-
agraph by saying: "Her.dainty feet
were incased in shoes that might have
been taken for fairy boots." Imagine
his dismay when he found that the
compositor had made his tribute read:
"Her dirty feet were incased in shoes
that snight have been taken for ferry
boats."

Sums Ep Present
Political Situation
The Ottawa Citizen, formerly Cona
servative and now independent, suns
up the present political situation in
an illuminative editorial appearing
Aug, 25th. Comment is made on Mr,
Mackenzie King's statement to the
Canadian public on August 24th, and
also to recent public utterances of the
leader of the Opposition, Rt. Hon.
Arthur Meighen. The editorial which
speaks for itself is as follows:
Mr. King's Statement
The crux of Mr. King's t to thstate-
ment Canadian ublic re-
garding the propriety of calling
an election at this juncture, a
statement which has been in-
spired mainly through Mr. Mei-
ghen's platform utterances, is
contained in the passage which
says:—
"Mr. Meighen forgets that the
only alternative in the way of
governmental policy he has to
offer is the program of 1921,
on which he was so roundly de-
feated, not having carried a
single seat in six provinces out
of the nine, and that it was this
identical program he put for-
ward anew in the form of a
manifesto when parliament as-
sembled at the last session, and
which, when presented in the
House of Commons on June
2nd, as an amendment to go in-
to supply, was voted down on
a division of 147 to 32."
Mr. Meighen's speeches dur-
ing the last week or two have
been the same speeches he
made four years ago in all es-
sentials, with the addition of
some grievances discovered dur
ing the months he has been in
opposition.
Meighen's One Cry
He is promising Canada to
give new life to industry in
order to stimulate the de-
velopment of natural resources
to increase traffic on the rail-
ways, to reduce taxation, in
brief to bring prosperity all
around, by—'an immediate re-
vision of the Canadian tariff
on a definitely and consistently
protective basis." After near-
ly sixty years of protection,
Mr. Meighen's solution of nat-
ional ills is—more protection.
Mr. Meighen continues to
call for an election. At St.
Catharines on Saturday, he a-
gain challenged the Prime Min-
ister to dissolve Parliament and
once more accused Mr. King
of placing party-exnedlency be-
fore national business needs.
There is at least as much jus-
tification for accusing Mr. Mei-
ghen of precisely the swine
thing.
Conservatives Nothing to Offer
The belief, indeed, that a
general election would help
business is founded on nothing
more substantial than a hone.
Small reason exists, as a mat-
ter of fact, for thinking that an
election would stimulate busi-
ness, or, at any rate, give it a
lasting boost. Even were the
Conservatives returned to pow-
er, they have nothing to offer
that has not been tried before
and found inadequate. Mr.
Meighen talks of the great
"need of economy," but over-
looks the opportunity to point
out precisely where he would
apply economy to national ex-
penditures.
As to the prospect of Con-
servative success, there is little
indication that they could sec-
uure a clear majority. While
New Brunswick and Nova Sco-
tia may spell success to Mr.
.Meighen's party, they may also
mean nothing of the kind. At
least they mean no more than
the success of the Liberals in
Saskatchewan means to Mr,
King. From present indication
the next election is going to be
like the last one so far as the
West is concerned. The West
Ms the choice of continuing
with Mr. King's policies or try-
ing Mr. Meighen's. And as
most people know, the West
views increased protection as
more likely to lead to deeper
economic discontent than other-
wise..
To the people as a whole, the
choice is much the same. lousi-
ness is a natter of purchasing
power and no argument of sub-
terfuge can change the fact.
What have the Conservatives
to suggest that will inrreasa
that newer among the citizens
of Canada? Extremely little,
and so the business cry loses
its force. Anelection will clear
the air politically end would
disperse the current uncertain-
ty, and on that basil would be
a good thing, but so far as ec-
onomis conditions go, it is the
same contest that was held in
1921,"
BUSINESS SECRET REVEALED
One of the secrets of success in
business, remarked Sir Thomas Lip-
ton recently, is to fill a cusotmers ore
der exactly as given; for you may be
sure that he knows better than you
do precisely what his requirements
are. A tradesman may err, even with
the hest intentions.
For instance, continued Sir Thomas
there was the ease of the newlyen-
gaged young man who informed the
lady of his choice, aged 24, that h:
was sending her a rose for every year
of her age.
To ihe florist he gave the order to
send the lady two dozen of the finest
red roses he could procure.
"He is a good custoreeten remarked
the florist to his assistant, who was.

TIMI1 TO COMR1NE
The absentee landlord used to be I
one of the curses that made for bad
feeling and hatred in Ireland amongst
the tenant farmers in the old days,
The Land, Act of '81 and succeeding
legislation emancipated them however
from a thralldom intolerable and un-
believable to farmers in this' country.
But in Ontario we have a variant
of absenteeism which hat lasted loo
enough, and people are getting tired
of members of the House of Ottawa
who only attend when it suits them.
The revolt is begining in Toronto, and
without mentioning any names, the
time has come when Liberal candida-
tes should at lease Kaye a look in.
Unfortunate splits in the local par-
ty have done the Liberal cause injury,
but fortunately not irreparable harm.
The time has arrived when those who
have the interests of the cause at
heart, should forget their differences
and combine to show a united front

BANKS AMALGAMATED
The amalgamation of two large
Canadian banks took place on Sept-
ember 1, when the Union Bank join-
ed with the Royal Bank of Canada.
The Union Bank of Canada was es-
tablished in 1865, and has been re-
garded as particularly a Western
bank, Its head office was in Winni-
peg, and the majority of its branches
served the farming sections of the
Prairie Provinces, The Royal Bank
of Canada was incorporated in 1869
as the "Merchants Bank"of Halifax,"
the name being changed to the pres-
ent title in 1901, and the head office
transferred from Halifax to Montreal
in 1907.
Thepurchase of the Union Banat
by thoyal brings the lank a total
of over 800 branches in the Dominion
and more than 100 abroad, while the
total assets will be well over the 700
million mark,

Canadian National Railway.' station in
Winnipeg—one of the finest stations in
Canada --at 8.45 a.m., the second day.
It follows the shortest route and carries
the finest equipment of any train running
from Toronto to Winnipeg. Connections
are made at Winnipeg for Calgary. Ed-
monton, Prince Rupert. Vancouver and
all points in Western Canada. Another
feature is a superior type of electric
lighted colonist car with a restaurant
lunch counter service for those who do
not wish to use the dining car or to
detrain at stations where lunch rooms
