NfacBWEN ADVERTISING AND SELLING ' A few days ago The Advance received a pheofsheet of a number of well-designed advertisements from the service depart- ment of a large manufacturing concern. The. prnofs.'show careful preparation and excellent judgment and were accompanied • bythe following letter; The h summer is the time --above all others- C tivlien our dealers should keep businese coming their •way by increased newspaper, advertising. • In view of this we have .prepared a ttumher of special "summer cuts" per enclosed proof, stereos of which are being provided free of charge to dealers. We are today forwarding similar proofs to_ pus dealers and hope we may have the •pleasure of seeing, them reproduced in your••colemns before long. Yours,for mutual business increase. The above letter comes froili one of the largest general advertisers in America, a concern which uses large space in the daily, weekly and monthly press, and it is a recognition of two facts. The first of these is that the summer need not be a slack season -will not be if the local dealer advertises efficiently, The other is that all the general advertising done by this firm is not completely successful un- less it is backed by local newspaper advertising. It is a recognition of this latter fact, that leads to the enormous output of what are called "dealer helps" by every large "manufacturing concern. These firms employ advertising experts to write and design advertising that will sell the goods. In many cases, as in the above - quoted letter, stereotypes of these adver- tisements are supplied absolutely free of charge to the local dealers and returns to the manufacturer are proportionate to the use.of them made by their local agents, In cases where local dealers fail to take advantage of the opportunities thus 'Offered, the manufacturer quite often t urns the advertising over to an agency which places the advertisements in the local papers. There could hardly be a more eloquent testimony to the value of the local paper as an advertising and selling agency than is thus offered by the most successful business concerns in the world.

Spraying, therefore, in order to be effective, must be timely and thorough; The spray mixture must bo on the plants before the spores reach them and the surface of the leaves and stems must bo covered so completely that there la not the smallest space on which a spore can germinate. Efficient spraying of potatoes de- pends: 1; Upon the use of the proper fungicide, Bordeaux mixture has so far proved to be the only satisfactory spray mixture for potato diseases, 2, Upon timely and repeated spraying.

A series 'of meetings which, to the women of rural Ontario, have always proved worth while, and increasing- ly so the last year or two, is the Women's Institute meetings. These are important because they are ao far-reaching in their nature. - They afford -the town and country woman, no matter what her denomination may be, a channel through which she can bo of all-round service to hu- manity. Since the war began Red Cross and other patriotic work has, of course, received first , consideration. The alleviation of suffering seems peculiarly woman's Work. The need is greater to -day than ever. The great demand by the Allies for certain foods such a beef, pork, wheat and sugar has, caused file housewife to change her methods of pre-war days. She must now learn to substitute and to eliminate var- ious forms of waste. Perishable 'foods must be more widely used, not only in summereshut also in winter. These must bo conserved through proper storage, canning or drying. Such subjects as these may be dis- cussed at the meetings. An expert demonstrator may be secured from the Department to give information or a practical demonstration to assist the housewife. The members may club. together and do their canning at one eentre with one fire if they so choose, and in addition to the work accomplished may have a so- ciable time together. The children in the rural districts must not be forgotten. They must be prepared for the great responsi- bilities which are too soon to fail upon them, Their education xuust not be neglected, They must not be handicapped by physical imperfec- tions. Subjects of importance to the child must be discussed and means adopted to improve conditions, The Medical Inspection of rural s( eeoie and the clinics held through the 14 u men's Institute are doing much to improve Conditions.

Many of these opportunities may be scour- ed through the luetitute. Surely with subjects of such vital importance as the above-mentioned, all meetings should be worth while, We would call the attention of all to the importance of tho sumntei meeting, held throughout June, when the delegate from the Department is in attendance.

As he reached the end of the building and looked down Mein Street the sight sent a thrill that made Itis horse bound high. Four abreast carbines, spit- ting in all directions, a troop of khakis clad cavalry was charging straight at the center of Von BIeck's defences. The ban- dits were fleeing in a wild rout as Hogan's Ian also kept up the fire, and then, rear" izing that even flightmeant the possibility of death, they lifted their hands in sur- render. "Casey! Hogan! Conic to the jail!" yell, ed Gwyn, and seeing that they under- stood, he dashed back to the fire. Swings ing by his hands from the window ledge he dropped to the cellar floor and made hisway to the spot where Hogan's dog was standing guard over the unconscious Nan. Tying his handkeechief about her face as a shield against the smoke he lift- ed her tenderly and staggered back to the window. He waited and a moment later Casey,s honest, rugged features showed in the opening, "Hold my legs, Hogan," said Casey, turning his lrege, and then lel himself down headforemost Mils arms were free Nan was lifted quickly upward to the window by the rough but careful hands, and others drew her safely through. Next cane the dog, whose tail wagged ecstatt- calty when he caught a whiff of the fresh air outside. Gwyn himself went up last, and Casey had to strain mightily to lift him from the floor. When finally he stood' outside supported by Hogan's arm it was all he could do to retain his consciousness. Nan lialready opened had a ca y op led her eyes tinder friendly ministrations from the cavalry officer. A great cheer went up from the posse and troopers as Nan was lifted to her feet and walked over td stand by her husband. His arm about her shoulders, Gwyn turn- ed to the crowd and passed his hands oar Ins eyes as if trying to realize what had happened. "You have saved our lives. boys," lie said huskily, "but more than that, you have saved the cause of democracy." "Perhaps you didn't see what else we saved," grinned the officer. '"Leftovers, as it were!" and as the troopers parted ranks Gwyn saw there Von Bleck and his band, prisoners, "About twenty years apiece is all you'll get -if you're in luck," said Hogan com- fortably, and at Von Bleck's expression the whole company' raised a shout of laughter, TheLimited rolledrapidly lY along t he shining rails toward -the East. Lounging comfortably in the soft plush seats of the Pullman, John Gwyn and the young wife he had acquired in the wilds of the Sierras gazed out the window at the scenery as it glided past. To Gwyn it w8s a relief and a-relexation after the long siege of strife. He was returning home, and the sense of victory and success which thrilled his soul was plainly written upon his countenance. To Nan, seated beside him, it was an ad- venture. The landscape, as it slipped by, seemed to her to be ever different. She could see the trees grow smaller, the plains stretch out before her eyes, the touch of civilization became inore prominent, the towns grew to cities. It was all new, all strange, all inspiring to her. The wihcle thing seemed lilts) a happy experience which must soon pass and be forgotten, Her frame, her mind, her feelings, her manner, all seemed to transform within her. She felt now that she was a woman, the wife of a strong, dominating . man, whose personality and strength made him a peer of his kind. She muet mould her- self to fit him, so that she might move in harmony in his company, in the•cireles in which he event. No longer was she the wild, carefree daughter of the mountains. Gwyn turned to her and spoke and his words bore association to her thoughts. "It will be verydifferent, now dear," he said, "The discord of strife is over and we are leaving the scene of it far behind. Of course, we shall have struggles where we are going, but lhcy will be of another kind. No one ever undertakes a mighty project without encountering opposition and trouble. The marl who builds the biggest bridge must carry the heaviest timber. But in elle city men fight with their brains and not their hands. I think you'll be happy, there." te, t•'i smiled. "By the way," he said, "now that (:verything is over and we are safely together out of reach of harm, I wish you'd tell me what happened to you when you were trapped in the mine, and just how you happened to fall into the hands of Von Bleck." "It seems so weird and unbelievable now," she replied "that it sounds tidiest. sous. I d even Laugh, I think except that I know how Serious it was and how fright- ened 1 was at the time, "1 must have been overcome by the smoke, because, the tir:t thing 1lemeni- ber after I was staggering through th tunnel, is that I opened edmYe esand saw a lir nt standing n g ov r e me.

Ile must have, known that some• thing was wrong -I think I called for help. Anyway, the dog made one leap at Drant and caught hold of hien with his teeth.. They struggled until they reached the ledge at the edge of the upper gallery, and Drant went over with the dog. That was the last I saw of him. Gwyn listened to Nan's words a nodded impressively, He realized the point she had brought out was Von Bleck, at the head of his great ization-the eye of the Central powers was not an enemy to an individual a country, but he- yielded an in. that could felt u d be by the world, tern• ti n t a o al spy, whose intrigues throw in 1 o history into a frenzied state chaos, he was a elan to be dealt with the hands of no less important a than the Federal law. But now, ca and subdued, his domain would be tered, his abominable system wreck his network of spies, which spread the country like a web, would be w a leader.

He had proven him- self stronger, craftier and greater than Von Bleck. He had conquered where the wealth and influence of a nation had been exerted to cause his failure, But, as he sat ruminating and musing over the events of the past few months, it was not his conquest, his accomplishment or his importance that confronted him. Con- ceit was farthest from his thoughts. In- stead, it was his personal happiness that brightened these moments of his life, In evidence of this fact, he glanced continu- ally at Nan, who sat, clothed in the glory of her new life, looking out the window, `:It is wonderful," he told her, "to have found you hidden in the mountains, there waiting for me, and to be able to bring you back. Nan, dear I believe that it was a higher power than mere coin- cidence that took you to the home of old Don Carlos and that brought me to the same place in the accomplishment of my life -work. It seems a shame that we have (to leave it all behind us, with those who Iwere so brave and loyal during the struggle." "We're just going away for a time," she answered. "We aren't leaving it be- hind- we couldn't. The last thing Casey said to us at the station, after you bad told him' to take your place while you were away, was 'Be sure to come back soon.' And I told him that we would." "And we shall," agreed Gwyn, A hand touched Gwyn on the shoulder and startled him from his happy reverie. He turned quickly and found himself facing the conductor. "Is this Mr. John Gwyn:" The train- man was holding in his hand the yellow envelope of a telegram. "It is," Gwyn answered to the inquiry. "This was received at Denver sir. We have just pulled out from there." Gwyn took the telegram and the con- ductor nodded and departed. With nervous fingers tie tore the envelope open. IIe could not tell from the outside where it was from, and his imagination worked rapidly as he thought of its possible con- tents. Perhaps Casey was in trouble; it might be that Von Bleck--:- He unfolded the paper and read, while Nan scanted the lines from Iris side: Check for two million dollars was de- posited to your credit in Fifth Avenue National Batik this morning. Wires from Barstow have given details Newspapers are anxious for your arrival, but not as much so as we. Congratulations to you - And Mrs, Gwyn, BALTERMAN. "And now, little girl," said Gwyn as he listened to the sound of the grinding wheels bearing them to the East, which sounded like music to Itis ears, "the door is open, and we are about to pass through to a new lifer and a new happiness."

Thee wino happen to read the African poems of Edmund Leanly May be intereeted in knowing conte. thing of the origin of these verses, .which tell so much of the Jungle life, In their origin they aro perhaps more interesting than any verse being pro- dueed at the present time, Early in 1915 beams, who hail been unable to do much in a literary way, went out to British East Africa as the employe of a busluese concern and there jollied the military forces then being organized. There was seem an expedition under way against the German Afriean regiments and Leahy saw some sharp tighting, Along the iunglo trails and on the heights Leamy saw much beauty and some humor in the African scenes between lights. When there was a chance in camp• slid during night watches lie would write his verses, sometimes with the snip of bullets going through the leaves overhead. It was one thing to write thorn ,and another thing to get thein out of Africa to New York, where they might have a market value, Tite poems were usually written legibly, in a small hand with lead pencil, on the sheets of his note book, Sometimes the military mail was carried by native runners to the near- est' ' 'a' t railway 1 ar nof1t which might be a good way off. Thence it was taken to the coast, probably to Mombasa, where Leamy's lead pencil scrips would wait for the very casual war tines steamship which might carry them to Marseilles or Brindisi on their long journey. Various, censor's had to read them or were supposed to and the •usual time of transporta- tion was about four months, Ablaut Walking Sticks, The United Kingdom elms long taken the lead in tee manufacture of walking sticks and a large propor- tion of theoutput I f nti t t was made of raw material grown in the British Isles, such as ash, chestnut, oak and simi- lar woods, The importation •of fin- ished sticks has always boon small,. but before the war a considerable amount of raw or partly finished ma- terial was imported, each as malacca canes, ebony, wangnees, roof bam- boo, nllgherri, etc. Ches•r; slicks and what is known as "Congo” wood were formerly imported from Ger- many and Austria, where they are grown. For a time after the out- break of war the stocks ou hand met the demand, but gradually the trade has become more, dependent upon home-grown goods, and consequently a greatly increased demand for do- mestic raw material has arisen, The military vogue has also had great ef- fect on the style of walking sticks, and there has been a large demand during the last two' or three years for sticks and canes for military use. As regards prices, 1t has been found that both labor and material have had a steady upward tendency since the war began. Some ranee and sticks which were largely used have increas- ed 100 per cent in cost, and certain of the better kinds are now practical- ly unobtainable. Generally speaking, it may be said that an approximate advance of 25per cent, in rice has n taken place on the lower grade good' and probably 30 to 40 per cent. on the higher qualities. Increasing difli culty is also being experienced in British manufacturers ill, obtaining sufficient supplies of metal fittings, materials for umbrella frames and textile materials for umbrella covers. Japanese Like Fat Men. In this country when a 'man of average height takes on girth until his weight runs up to 300 pounds of so, his friends have grave doubts about his condition and advise him to diet in order to bring back a slim elegance of figure. In Japan the con• trary is true. If a ratan can carry 300 pounds of flesh with any agility he is of the material from which he- roes are manufactured, and if he can work up to 400 or 475 pounds, and becomes a wrestler, he is in the run- ning for the championship. Wrestling is to the Japanese what boxing is to us, and more. The popu- lace goes crazy over it, and the mag- nates of the big game handle great sums in the way of gate receipts, The Tokio Wrestling Assoelation controls the flower of Japan's heavy- weights, and at rte heed is a 350• pound veteran, '.l', Dewanottmi, the holder of • the championship for eleven' years in successiou—a record feat: Wide World, Increasing Munitions Output.

'11U WEST' INDIES." Increased I'opulation Largely Duo to Immigration. The character of the population 01 the British `'trent Indies is rapidly changing through the addition to the long-established mixed races of num- bers of hath es of India and of the Eget Indies. In Trinidad and British Guiana the increase of population in recent years has been caused almost wholly by immigration from India. lrt Eritieh Guiana the census of 1911 t+hmwed 13e,517 of East Indian origin in a total of 236,041, Trinidad, with •t total population of 333,1152, had 108,003 of East Indian origin, and in other islands the proportion t>i that element is increasing to .a de- gree that is likely to place it in the majority at seine time in the future. Nearly all the East Indians come out under contract with the West Indian Governments as indentured laborers to worst on the sugar and each° plan- tations. Their contracts bind thein for flee years, fur they •.ire also re - (Mired to remain in the Conies for another five, during which they are free to take up land or to work for anyone whom they please to work for. As ft body they have 'gained ai reputation for industry and thrift.

There are numerous ways of reaching the German populations. The obvious one is by airplane dis- tribution of leaflets, but there are also other metheds, and various plans are ready for the dissemina- tion of the truth all over Germany. Striking developments in the work of counteracting the widespread Ger- man propaganda in America, Italy, Spain p and other countries are now in progress.

Ten of these caravans are ready to take the road. Their destinations cannot all be indicated, but some of them will take their stand on the viilage greens and city squares of the United Xingdotn, Others will travel over Europe, Asia and Africa, from Timbuctoo to Teheran, and everywhere they will give astonish- ing proof of the immensity of Great Britain's efforts in the war. tenure for Armless Hen. Mechanical arms, with which it is possible to thread a needle, sew on a button, use a typewriter, and light and fill a pipe, were exhibited in Loudon recently. The device is the invention of M.
