The reason people pass one door To patronize another store Is not because the busier place Has better silks or gloves or lace, Or cheaper prices: it largely lies In pleasant words and smiling eyes, The true trade magnet, we believe, Is just the treatment folks receive. "Have you eyer been married?” asked the judge. "Ye-es,” stammered the prisoner. "To whom.” "A woman.” "Of course it was a woman,” snap­ ped the judge," Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a man?” "Yes, sir,” said the prisoner brightly, "my sister did.” Doctor (to wealthy patient); "Yes you’re all run down, I suggest that you lay off golf for a while, return to business and get a good rest at your office." Aren’t you the boy who was here a week ago looking for a position?” "Yes, sir.” "I thought so. Didn’t I tell you then that I wanted an old­ er boy?” "Yes sir, that’s why I am here now."

A SCANDALOUS WASTE “It is a shameful waste, for one thing,” a hospital nurse remarked the other day when reckless driving by autoists was under discussion. "See how we nurses will work for days and weeks to save the life of one little baby.” Yes, it costs a fine pile of money to launch the little chap. It costs a whole lot to clothe and feed and shelter him til! he goes to school. From five to about fourteen he is little more than a bill of expense to his parents and to the community. Nor is it a snap, nowadays, to get him started in business. Suppose he gets married and has a home and two or three kiddies about him! Don’t you think that his home costs money. Well, let him be started in business and have a little family. What is society’s next stop? Why, it allows travel conditions to be such that a child or a youth or a man or a woman reared at such a cost of money and labor and thought may be killed by a drink-crazed or addle­ headed autoist who in no way can make good even the economic loss his killing insures. The pity of it is that nobody, least of all the au­ thorities, seems to care. Isn’t that a pretty good reason for forbidding anyone to own or run a car who can­ not recoup the economic loss he in­ flicts? —St. Thomas Time * Journal "I’D IMPROVE JT.” Two farmers the other day were passing a farm in a well-known lo­ cality. Said one, "I remember when Bill and his young wife moved onto that farm. It was then well-stock­ ed and supplied with every imple­ ment one could wish for. But look at it now! Soon after Bill got hold of it, it began to slip.” “Well what would you have done with it?” “I’d have improved it. That’s the only way we farmers can do and keep going. If we don’t improve we’re heading for the bow-wows.” So there you are! Just the other day the writer was talking with a business man who survived the test of time in an Ox-, ford village for nearly fifty years. "How did you do it? You say that you’re the only one in the run-( ning who began with forty years ago?” "I kept stepping up. When I saw a new idea showing its head, I made a friend of it and caused it to help me along. I’ve gave my op­ position all the close deals and the poor pay and saw to it that I had stuff on hand that people wanted to buy. I watched both the selling end and the buying end.” So much for the farm and the village. Now what about the city? Said a merchant who has a little more than held his own; "Twenty- five years ago there were about twenty-five of us who were in this line all of us within ten minutes walk of each other; I’m the only one still at it.” "Why?” "Well, the others fellows thought that having a big turn over was the same thing as getting on. Accord­ ingly they fell for all sorts of fads and in nearly every case they were left with enough unsaleable stock on hand to wear down their profits to the vanishing or bare living point. You see what happened to them.” The law is inevitable. Unless there is improvement in any enter­ prise, the shadow of the poor house is falling upon it. It is as certain as death. Presbyterian jW. M. S, Holds Meeting Interesting Conference at Presbyterian Church, Hensail The> annual conference of the Hu­ ron Presbyterian W. M. S, was held Wednesday afternoon of last week, in Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hen­ sail, which was beautifully decorat­ ed with autumn leaves foi' the oc­ casion. There was a large attend­ ance, a good delegation from the various auxiliaries and mission bands being present. The president Mrs. J. C. Greig, resided. An executive meeting was held at 9:30, at which a nominating com­ mittee composed of Mrs. Graham, Exeter; Mrs. Arnold, Hensall and Mrs. McMurchy, of Clinton, was ap­ pointed. The devotional part of the morning session was in charge of the Bayfield Auxiliary, Mrs. J. F. Fraser presiding. Mrs, J. Ferguson read the scripture lesson from the 50 th Psalm. Mrs. Murdock Ross reading of the minutes by the re­ cording secretary, Miss Mabel Gra­ ham was followed by remarks from the supply secretary, Mrs. W. D, Fair, the literature secretary, Miss McEwen and the treasurer, Mrs. T. Swan Smith. Miss McEwen requested the mem­ bers to save good books and maga­ zines as there are many children in isolated places who would revel in the books people have discarded, books on travel, nature and birds, and magazines of recent date in good condition are particularly accept­ able. The president gave a short but ap­ propriate address, and an interest­ ing report of the provincial meeting held in Guelph was presented by Miss Taylor, of Blyth, a delegate from the Huron Presbyterial. Roll Call The auxiliaries responded to the roll call with a selection from the glad tidings. Mrs. J. C. Greig gave a delightfully grahic and inspiring account of her trip to Vancouver and the meeting of the general council of the W.M.S. held there. Greet­ ings from the presbytery were con­ veyed by the pastor of Carmel church Rev. Mr. McIlroy, after which Mrs. Wilson, of Aubu'rn, closed the meet­ ing with prayer, the delegates ad­ journing to the basement where luncheon was provided by the ladies of the congregation. The devotional exercises in the af­ ternoon were conducted by members of the Goderich Auxiliary. Mrs. Wal­ ter read the 10th Chapter of Ro­ mans, Mrs. Hocking engaging in prayer. Mrs. McLaren and Mrs. An­ drew Dougall, of Hensall, favored the audience with a duett, “Hark, Hark My Soul.” A special feature of the program was an able address by Mrs. Daniel Strachen, of Toronto, president of the general council, in Which she gave a most inspirational and heart­ reaching talk on her visit to the overseas mission fields of the Pres­ byterian Church in the Orient. At the close there was a session of brief prayer for missionaries, national missions, young people and mission bands, in which Mrs. Graham, of Exeter; Mrs. K. M. McLean, of Sea­ forth and Miss Nairn, of Goderich, took part. Echoes of the student volunteer convention in Detroit by Miss S. I. McLean, of Seaforth, proved an in­ teresting item on the program, as did also a chorus by the Hensall Mission Band. A resolution of sympathy with Mrs. Wilkie, widow of the late honored veteran missionary in India, .was prepared by the resolutions commit­ tee. The meeting closed with the doxo- logy and benediction.
