WIY. TOWNS= DQ NOT GROW (F'ore'st Free Peas) Why do SO many of the small lawns not grow nor Ake any mat- erial progress is a question frequent- ly requent ly asked, but very seldom answered in: a satisfactory way, In most eas- es the simple and correct answer would be that the citizens of the town and the neighborhood do not patronize,their home town,' but send their money away to build up the cities, The .kteaford Mirror, i'<n disens- sing this `vital question says: "If Meaford shopped at home, the local stores would be ate busy that they would have to ettiplol' extra sale help and more employment would be given. They would have stteh , a turnover 'that the percentage requir- 61,1: 111 de, �{h 'ed .to pay interest would be so: small on ehch dollarworth` l acs � s so d asto permit' of much "closer" selling with added advantage to the . purchaser. That all seems _ fairly logical." The . Winchester Press- states that $soo worth 6f hail -order catalogues were sent to that• •village one day last week, and points out that,. that amount. would not be, spent in adver- tising the1C unless it paid to do .so. The sending out, of these catalogues shows that the 'merchants inthe big cities are :•-not satisfied „if they could get all the trade, of their own com- munities. At a Weekly Press Association meetingin Torontsome tirn o e wee b it was suggested that the 'country printers should retaliate by going in.- to nto • Toronto for • orders for , certain lines of printing, which are. done at lower prices in the small towns than in the city. Two of the country printers at once Went out „to • canvas city firms, The first • firm did: 'not need anything. The second firm needed letter heads a,iid envelopes and was quoted less tlbaj city .priees, but when the , manager learned that the work was going out of Toronto ,he said: "No Sir, I'm spending my money where. it will help to build up my own town,and help to pay , our • city tax." The ‚canvass ended . right there: Safety in Slang Once there was a Weisenheirner who, when it came to knowing it all, was a -sort of a human edition of the Encyclopedia. Britannica. No . one could tel/ him anything because he was the original 'T'ree of Knowledge. He knew the Safety First catechism, to hear hint tell if., from Infection to the Grace, and no, accident could possibly, befall him,. because he was the Cuckoo that put. "safe" in "Safety." When if came to danger this Gazeek figueed he had. Three Bails and Two strikes on it all the e ti 1 ad it in the ninth` hole as it m, x ,� o were, consequently he could not get lacerated or torn by any piece of.ina- chinery ever invented, even though it be as dangerous as an Old Maid at a Husking Bee, The Safety Inspee- for /yarned the .
