The Post Office officials' are some-
times blamed far the loss of -mail. In-
vestigatien has shown that often, mail
matter is lost by box holders .natlock-
uig their boxes, or employing too
young boys and girls1 to carry mail to
or from the post office.
The way one people advertise has
a tendency to make one think that
they are ill( business; fora month, then,
they are out for two or three months;
thenin again for a short spell, after
which they holiday for afew months.
And they keep this up through the
whole course ,of their business car-
eer -=and usually that career is cut
short, simply for the, wan of business,
Other menta keep ,everlas!tingly at it
and it counts every time.

The Danek;ihon Parliament opens on

A man can be. a self-starter and not
get where he is going unless he, is a
self -snapper.
You can always learn something. A
clock passes the time by keeping its
hams busy.
Some men delight in paying their
lodge dues and their newspaper sub-
acription the day they, are. due, and
other men like to delay a long time,
causing the ane who receives them a
lot of work and worry and trouble,
Why? Is it just carelessness? If so
why not correct it?
Have you anything to propose that
;would help to make Exeter a bigger
and better place? The Council, is do-
ing their best, the Board of Education
makes every effort possible, the Hor-
ticultural Society and the. Agricultur-
al. Society are working! to that send.
Is there anything mots cars do or sug-
gest to help along the, good 'work?
Yes, Mr, Merchant, the holidays are
past, but that do,essft mean that the
public is going to stop buying. The
business .man, who, satisfied with a
bumper holiday trade, halts, in his ad-
vertising efforts now, only invites an
after -holiday business slump, which
aggressiveness, including creation of
the proper atmosphere by advertising
will do much to forestall.
The Ontario Government .intends 'to
introduce legislation at th(,s. session,
the; object of which. is to .make land
titles absolute after thirty ty.ears; It
is proposed to pass a declaratory act
ronferring titles to propesttes that
have been held continuqqusly for that
length of time, Thiol will mean a great
saving of labor in searching titles,mak-
ing it unnecessary for lawyers to go
neyond that time. 1 i
W. A. Crockett, M. L. A, (labor),
says that he believes that at the con=

would be introduced asking for an
amendment 'to the.0., T. A. that would
permit the, sale of beer and wine:tin
licensed places. He „understood that
a g: cernrn•ent speaker would. introduce
the bill, but could not say whether
the member would be of the labor
