—If the ruination of any boy is desir-
ed let him roam the streets at will.
There is nothing that will ruin a boy as
unwatched liberty. It is during these

garisrq, which later on will grow to
something worse, and the Idea of having
so little respect for himself or those
around bion. Alae, the above is only
too 'r o, but the average parent is
much more to blame than the boy.
'1'oo much carelessness on the part of
the parent is indulged in by allowing
the boys to roam about of an evening
when they should be e.t home or employ-
ed at some occupation.

missed in athletic cicclea, especially on
the baseball field, where his catching
ability and right throwing wing were
prime factors in helping Blyth hell
tossers win many a hard fought game.
—The Actor: authorities are dealing
vigorously with the cigarette evil, The
council have peeved a bylaw imposing
a license fee of $75 for the sale of cigar-
ettes, The Acton Free Press editorially
observes: "Right thinking citizens
generally will appreciate and commend
the action of the council on Monday
evening in passing the cigarette bylaw.
With a $75 license fee the cigarette
abomination will no doubt be largely
curtailed in Acton, Milton passed a
similar bylaw last June and reports
indicate very satisfactory results."
—The Galt Reformer Bays that a
merchant in that town has suggested
that during the summer months the
stores close one afternoon each week.
The idea seems a good one from the
standpoint of both merchants and clerks.
An afternoon in a week would not
seriously affect the revenues of the
various stores and it would give the
clerks an opportunity to get out of the
stuffy stores during the hot weather.
The day suggested is Thursday and the
tnonths July and August. In Guelph,
in Woodstock and In Brantford, the
summer half holiday is a great boon.
—We wish our advertisers to read
the fallowing carefully:—Change your
edvertisetnent frequently, No matter,
hew good a trade -catcher an advertise-
ment maybe when first ieeued, to let it
stand too long wearies the reader. -.do
routes to the conclusion that you never
cllenge it, and finally he never even
glances at it. No good newspaper man
will feel put out by frequent requests
for changes. Its the mat) who changes
his advertisement that gets the results,
and the than who gets the results from
his business announcements is the pub-
lisher'e best friend. Itis business is
built by helping to build yours and he
knows it. It is not the high price you
pny for advertising but the results you
get from it. that determines its value,
More than half the battle lies with you,
Advertise specialties, sessonahle lines
and change your announcements fre-
quetttly. Make your pertormancee as
good es your 9nnottneemehte and you
will have no dititcucty iu.extending your
.busiueas.
