PICNIC TIMII.
The picnic season is at hand. Its
no !use starting the peenic season
'until the mosquitoes, ante, bees,
flies and -.spiders have, loosened up
in goodly numbers for the summer
season- There's always the enthus-
iastie man on the spot who comes
early with the ladies. He's a migh-
ty useful•article, too, for who else
would squeeze the ' lemons, carry
the water and crack the jokes, for
the early arrivals to convulse over.
And then the supper—what can be
more delic'aous than the good old
salmon sandwiches and 'steep h'.nd
of cake, and a bottle of sour pic-
kles fished out with a hat pin. The
fact that the aforeside flies, spiders
etc., are promenading on the grub
simply gives it that smack 'so nec-
essary to round out the picnic idea
Yeseand dont forget the little chap
who has 'the camera, and - who
groups;' the party, the ladies w1Qh
the men's hats on, and other reel
boisterous cut up trieks, All tthnt
remains is for some nifty gent with
a ,pair of white.: duck pants .:to sit
on ,the strawberry short cake. Af-
ter that comes the grand rusli for
the car or bus, whilelthennembera
of ;the Ananias club, stand around
and say "We've had a charming

picnic T.hey are such jolly affairs,

Letting the
Light in
Shops and businesses that are illuminated
' by advertising have vitality and efficiency
not possessed by shops and businesses
that drape their service and activity with
a pall of silence,
Everybody. knows that it is in all ways
good to let much light into dwellings,
factories, shops ' and stables—into all
places where life is and where health and
efficiency are desired,
We commend to the merchants of this
community the advantages and good re-
sults of persistent advertising in our col-
umns, for the public always goes where
light is—the public shuns dark places.
Light means welcome and confidence.
A WORD TO MEReHi'IIN1 S
Advertising will go far towards retaining
the loyalty of of old customers and win-
ning you new once. Fifty-two advertise-
ments in our co'umns will prove an ex-
cellent salesman—one whose yearly cost
to you'will be less than what you are now
paying to some salesman behind your
counter.
