It does more than persu- ade the public what to buy, .where buy it, what to pay for it• Advertising builds big- ger business, increases turn- over and makes possible the manufacture and distribution of merchandise at less cost. Advertising educates; it edu- cates both the public and the merchant; it not only cultivates trade, but it cultivates a better splirlt in trade. That is the way to feel aliout your adyertd.sing; it not only helps you to a better bu,sinesr, but it helps you to N better business men, for it's a very good thing for 3)14' Man to state his convictions in print ,o.e.r his own signature.

Who are Canada's men today? Those at glorious Lens. Men of action, men of deeds, • Our brave heroes at Lens; Not in Ottawa, not in the West, Shrivelled up party pawns; But bomb and bayonet, rifle and axe, Out on the line at Lens. 'Not for self or party's greed, There on the line at Lens; Not for faction, but for deed, There on the line at Lens; Doing their duty, giving their lives, To free the world from the Tueton gyves, There on the line at Lens. The evilest thing we ever have had, Is our senseless party strife. Parting our people in peurile hates, With foul corruption rife; But more so now, When in the bal- ance, Hangs the whole world's life; So gather together, men with men, Not mere Grit and Tory; But like our steadfast host at Lens, One, for the nation's glory. When the line goes over the parape.t, There is no parrot at Lens; Grit and Tory are blashemous words, Garments that nobody dons; Faction and self are not on the card, They are only men at Lens; Men to baffle and win and die, Knowing only the Tueton foe, And the deed to do, and the road 17)).r 1,;) IL' edge at Lens We are God's trustees for those brave W1 111(1, 11 111,attle for WS at Lens; And are we tru.i to lair scared trust, As they are true at Lens: Are We playing the real man's game, Or is it dirty political game, Changing our birthright into a shame, Beiraing those men at Lens:' Then, awake. Canadians! show you. strife, 1,, Like our defenders at Lens! Line on the std.: t.e' righteousness now, Like they are doing et Lens; For God is calling from faction and To a vaster vista, a larger life, A nobler dream, heroic and free; Cast off your shackles from sea to sea And Stand With the men at Lens.
