"American shipping interests," he
said, ".have practically taken over the

The set, he poynted out, forbids
ships of any other' country than the
Dominion to operate between' two

The government has been winking'
at infractions of this law, Captain

THE LIFE OF .A

An inkling of the great significance
of new'spaper advertising: has' been
discovered by the American Bankers
Magazine, a newspaper enthusiast,
which recently came out with the Fol-
lowing; : "No business' man in any
town should allow a newspaper pub-
lished in: his town to go`without ,his
name avid business being: mentioned
somewhere in its columns. This np-
Plies _to. all kinds of business and -pip
fessional men. This does not mean
you should have a' whole, half or even
a quarter page act, in each issue of the
paper, . but your name and business
should' be mentioned if you do not use
more than a -two-line space. A
stranger 'picking up a newspaper
should be able totellwhat business is
represented in a town by looking at a
paper...This is the best possible town
advertiser. The' man Who does not
advertise his. business does -tin injust-
ice to himself and the town. The man
who insists on sharing the business
which comes to 'town, but refuses to
advertise his own, is not a valuable
addition: to any town. ; The life .of a
town is dependent.upon the live, wide-
awake and liberal advertising business

TWO STORES IN LUCAN ARE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
-Fire which broke out -at 3:45 on
Sunday morning resulted inn: the total
destruction of two stores in Lucan,
and damage to two other places of
businesg,• The general store of Has-
kett Eros. and the fancy goods store
of Miss E. E: Atkins/1i, were, the
places leveled by the flames. Has-
lcett Bros. estimate their loss to be
between $15,000 and $20,000, part-
ly covered by insurance. The 'value
of the Atkinson shop was placed at
$3,000 of which $1,000 was insured.
At three o'clock Sunday afternoon,
twelve. hours after the fire began, a
side wall of the Plaskett. •building .
crashed through a •wall of a building
owned by J. M. Ross, doing much
damage -to that store. The premises
of the Standard Bank, located eight
feet north of Miss Atkinson's prop-
erty was damaged by flames, but not
destroled. Firemen from London
were called to the scene and pre-
vented the flames from spreading to
other buildings. Tho flames, driven
by a strong wind, threatened the en-
tire business section. It is believed
the fire had its origin in the Has-
kett store. Haskett Bros. have own-
ed. -the store only about one year
having .purchased it from J. 3. Hod
gins.

There is quite a bit of talk these
days and' people are writing letters to
the'newapapers about how to prevent
successful bank hold-ups. A Shel-
burne man says that should be an
easy thing to settle—all the banks
need to do is to make it as hard to
steal from them as it is t`fi borrow
front them.—Shelburne Ecomoment.
