I LET’S HAVE COPY EARLY The week have minds said: ‘ ou press secretaries of local organi­ zations the necessity of getting in their reports of meetings promptly aftei’ the meetings have been held. The work of setting up the - -weekly paper is a six day job -and as soon as one issue is off the press, work have to be written and put in type as they occur iri order to avoid a jam up at the last. Frequently we will have a report of an entertain­ ment ox* public gathering in type when along comes another report, written at great pains by somebody signing himself press secretary. The second report unfortunately has to be thrown out and he or she is some­ times very disappointed. Nothing is to be gained by holding the re­ port of a Thursday affair until the following Tuesday before mailing it in and likely in the meantime the editox* lias had to get a report from other sources. Write your report promptly and everybody will be best served.” “Wlxat is the latest time you will accept copy?” is a question some­ times asked us. The reply is, get copy in the very earliest possible moment, There are always late hap­ penings which have to be attended to.

It will add vastly to one's sum of hap­ piness if one can just do that'—look for an discover even one beautiful thing each day. It should not be hard to do. It might be hard if one- were limited to seeing just onu beautiful thing, the chances are we shall see hundreds , if we have eyes- to see them. It might be a blue- sky, flecked with white clouds; a. lovely sunset, a green and lovely tree; a vine growing ovex* a wall, a mother cuddling her babe, someone,, old or young, doing a gracious and kindly act. The fact is, beauty is so common/all about us that one would be half blind only to observe one beautiful thing during the day. But, anyway, it will do us no harm to watch for them and register the- sight upon our consciousness, f-or, aftex' all, it is just this sort of thing which makes the difference between, happiness and discontent. Then, again, if we are looking for beauty we are much more likely to develop, beautiful characters. on on his Masonic Grand Lodge was held at London last week. Mr. W. D.

The Staffa baseball nine met feat on Thursday evening last ■when they met the Exeter team on 'the latter’s diamond, the score being 4-1. The game did not produce the best baseball, partly due to the fact that the playing field was wet and slippery causing several slips and overthrows. Part of the game, which went eight innings, was played in the rain. ’ H. Heywood pitched for the winners and dished up a good assortment although inclined to be a trifle wild at times. Shier was on the mound for Staffa and although hit freely at times, managed to keep them pretty well scattered. G.

The higher range of prices pre­ vailing since the war has stimulated competition and has forced retail trade to remodel its system of op­ eration and to make every possible improvement and economy in its methods. The stores are saving a margin fox’ the public as a result of improved distribution methods. Merchants today are putting more brains in their work. They get bet­ ter , expert advice, they understand markets better, they train theix* em­ ployees to render better service. The best way to make the people* of Exeter realize the fine quality of’ the service they get from theii’ stores is by consistent advertising of those stores. As they read the newspaper .advertising people learn about special chances to buy goods which they would nevei’ have known about otherwise. \ They learn that stores ai‘e carry­ ing lines that they ’knew nothing about, They get information warn­ ing them of conditions that tend to­ ward higher prices, and showing them how they can save money by pronipt purchasing. They learn that their\ home merchants have been scouring the country, to obtain tlie best merchandise obtainable. They discover that theix* home stores are working mightily to provide the ne­ cessities and conveniences of life at the .lowest possible price, consis- ent with substantial merit. The advertised store is the appre­ ciated one. ................. .............
