Call up your customers by long distance An occasional call will make it almost impossible for them to stop trading with you. Do you realize that one of the largest returns you can se- cure from the expenditure of a small sum is to be had by calling up old customers occasionally by Long Dis- tance? Friendliness begets friendli- ness: How can you or I keep away from a merchant who spends his money to show bis interest in our affairs? We can't. The newspaper editor countd on this trait in human nature. He mentions sub- scribers' names flaequently, because he knows they will look for them in his paper.

Hereand There 1 (173) More than 20,000 acres of Indian lands, which include some of the best agricultural areas in the Peace River district, are likely to be sold at auction in the near future. This action will in all probability follow a survey that is being made in the north country by W. Morrison, Inspector of Indian Agencies for the three western provinces, with headquarters at Regina. A new industry—badger farm- ing—may be started in Saskatche- wan by John Rothenberger, farmer, of Vanguard. Last spring Mr. Rothenberger caught a badger and four pups. He built a large pen, about 15 feet long and 4 feet wide. During summer he fed the badgers until they are now quite tame, and are said to be larger than any badger running wild. Their coats are in excellent condition and of- fers of $18 for each skin have been received. A new world record was set by the Canadian Pacific Railway re- cently when a train of grain more than a mile in length was operated between Stoughton and Arcola, in Saskatchewan. It was the longest and heaviest grain train in history, consisting of 135 loaded grain cars. each approximately 40 feet in length, a water car, a caboose and engine. The gross weight was 8,722 tons and the total contents of the cars were 202,000 • bushels of grain. - The enthusiasm of the citizens of Quebec is so infectious that it is an easy, matter to interest visi- tors in winter sports, stated J, G. Strathdee, winter sports manager of the Chateau Frontenac, in giving a forecast of this winter's pro- gramme. Skating, skiing and to- bogganing will be in full swing as usual; the dog derby will most cer- tainly take place; and the ice car- nivals and storming of the citadel will probably be featured again he said. Mr. Strathdee mentioned the splendid co-operation given the winter activities at the Chateau Frontenac by the Quebec Winter Sports Association. The number of disciples of Isaac Walton, Canadian and American, who have plied rod and reel in Can- adian waters during the past season Is greater than ever before, states A. O. Seymour, general tourist. agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way at Montreal in announcing the winners of the Ontario bunga- low camp fishing trophy competi- tions. Phillip Peterman of Lau- rium, Michigan, won the Nipigon River contest for speckled trout, Edmund Slechbart of Chicago won the French River "muskey" prize, and Theodore Kipp of Winnipeg caught the largest bass entered in the Devil's Gap camp competition. England will have enough Can. adian apples shortly to' keep the doctor away for the next year, if there is any truth in the proverb as 'ships sailing for the old country this autumn are carrying many boxes of souvenir apples shipped by Canadians to their friends over seas, This has been the custom for the past Pew years and ae ord ing to J. 13, Martin, manager of the foreign department of the Can- adian Pacific lxpress Company. It is becoming increasingly popular So great has been the demand Pot fresh Canadian apples each autunin for shipment 'o Europe that aro• tiers throughout the country now have standard size boxes for hipping and special low rates are s abundant success. +`ranted tor the f/�cipr`o0s ��lpany WROXETER Mr. Dan Kaake's house took fire Monday noon from an over heated Stove.

BE' LM ORE Anniversary services of the United church here on Sunday last were a splendid success, the weather being • ideal large crowds attended at both , services. Rev. Scobie of ilelgrave, occupied the pulpit at both services i and inspiring and eloquent addresses were given which will long be remem- bered by those present. The floral decoration of the church were very pleasing. The selections so capably rendered by the choir and also by the Gorrie friends at the evening service constituted a splendid contribution to the services. The financial response of the congregation was most gratify- ing, and hope the memory of the an- niversary occasion will be an inspira- tion to the church as it faces the fut- ures and meets its challenge.
