Mrs. Mills was thrifty!
She would dearly like to talk to her
mother back home, as her friend told
her she was doing every week, but think
of the expense—
She was astonished when she learned that
a call for the distant number during the
clay would cost only 60 cents, and after
7 p.m. only half a dollar.
She actually made her call after 8.30 and
it cost her only 35 cents — the night
rate!
Now the weekly 3 -minute talk with her
mother is a regular thing. And what a
joy it is both to Mrs. Mills and her
mother. Both declare it is almost as good
as a visit !
Many people are like Mrs. Mills — they
think long distance expensive!
Just run over the rates quoted in the
opening pages of your telephone book —
especially those for "Anyone" (stadon-to-
station) calls during the evening and

The Dalmation coast is rocky, ris-
ing at some points to heights of five
thousand feet, with only a few small
plains interspersed between the
mountain ranges, which form a solid
wall between the narrow coastal strip
and its hinterland, Rosnia and Herze-
govina. It was these ranges which
saved Dalmatia from occupation by
the Turks in the times of the Vene-
tian republic.
Once these mountains were cover-
ed with green forests, but reckless
exploitation an.d the voracity of herds
of sheep and goats have stripped them
of their vegetation, transforming
them into barren slopes. In day sum-
mers winds carried away the parched
soil and much of what was lett was
wattled down into the ravines and
the sea by torrential winter and
spring rains.
The poor remnants of arable land
bring forth scanty food for fishermen
find small farmers, who have their
homes on the steep declivities. One
sees few cattle and almost no horses,
for it is difficult to grow the fodder
they need. Sheep, goats and donkeys
are the usual household animals, and
they manage to subsist on the scanty
stalks of grass that sprout b'etween
the rooks.
But their hunger is never quite
satisfied, and as they are let at large
most of the day to find their food
where they can the farmers must pile
up walls of loose stones around their
little patches of fields and meadows
to keep the beasts from grazing off
the plants. Nests ot such primitive
walls cover the hillside, looking from
a distance like huge honeycombs.
• Where the slopes are too steep for
this method of tilling, terraces have
been built and one often sees women
carrying sotYup to the terraces in big
baskets. On these terraces grow the
olive tree and the sweet Dalmatian
grape, which is pressed into the dark
red and deep 'orange wines which one
can buy in Dalmatia for almost
nothing.
At the foot of the barren hills,
along the seashore, are narrow belts
of rich vegetation, showing ''hat the

Too Many Accidents
With the advent of haying time
farmers should pay particular atten-
tion to the avoidance of accidents
which have occurred all too frequent-
ly in past seasons. The life of more
than one child has been taken by the
sickle -bar because the driver of the
team was not watching the field a-
head of him. Workmen by the score
have been injured by not taking the
proper care when working around the
maChinery, and the accidents caused
by carelessness with pitchforks must
reach an appalling total. Every far-
mer should be first impressed with
dangers himself and then warn his
men to exercise the utmost care.

If Ontario livestock breeders are The

that they have plenty of good animals
to sell. In order to keep outside buy-

which the cattle are kept should be
attractive. One breeder who has had
remarkable success in selling live-
stock, recently observed that next to
the condition and quality of the ani-

liness around the barns were the most
impatant factors in predisposing a
man to buy. They indicate the far-
mer's pride in his business' and give
the impression of prosperity. When

Speeding Up
•;1:4
our Turnover
HEN your merchandise turnover is
sluggish and our revenue falls off it's
• time to look your business squarely in
the eye.
Looking, you're likely to find two particu-
larly disturbing factors. One is that some of
your customers are shopping outside of Wing -
ham. The other is that these same customers,
and ,some others also, are buying from mail or-
der houses.
Disturbing as these conditions are, adver-
tising; is a \ray of getting around them. Adver-
tisinK,that is, where it can do you the most
good, advertising where your customers are
certain to see it—advertising in your local
home newspaper.
Your own advertising- is essential. There's
no doubt of that. But if your merchandise
turnover is to speed up and stay that way, the
advertising support of the manufacturers
whose commodities you handle is hist as nec-
essary.
And you can go a tong Nvay in enlisting the
support of these manufacturers quite easily..
'When the salesmen of the manufacturers
whose goods you stock call on you, impress
them with this thought!

ness you must keep Wingham's foll«7oming to
