"‘ \GE TWO People are ready to go to any place of buisness where the spirit of enterprise and hustle seems to prevail. A con- cern that makes it a regular practice to advertise, even if it does not take any great amount of space, WlII have a con- stant stream of inquirers entering its doors, who will more than make up for old customers who go elsewhere. The Collingwood Enterprise makes the following apt statement :â€"“To send a man to prison for two months for inntoxication is a crime against humanity. Everyone who has given the question any thought knows that the man givâ€" \n to drink will be a repeater. no matter what the penalty, flhough his lapses may be months apart; but he is made a -riminal for what at best is a misdemeanor, and his family leprived of support. To supply a man with liquor, and then jail him for drinking it is hardly fair or reasonable.” 3" .By an active campaign of advertising, a firm can keep making new business friends, to make up for those who drift elsewhere. It does not take elaborate persuasion to win such new customers in these times. The Barrie Advance claims that if .Town Councillors were paid, the ratepayers would take more interest in Whom they selected. But {vould they? One can never tell what ihe public will do. " People are not much inclined, as they were often form- erly, just to trade at one place or a few places right along year after year. They are quick to get the idea, if some firm seems to be hustling a little harder than its competitors to please the people, and no feeling of habit or sentiment of loyalty is apt to hold them, if they think they can do better by going elsewhere for something they want. The “Robb” budget presented in Parliament last week reflects the great prosperity and material progress of Canâ€" ada. A substantail surplus and a reduction of the national debt as well as a reduction in taxation are all very gratifying to Canadian citizens. Robb budgets have always been pop- ular and they will continue to be popular with the people if they continue the policy of cutting down the debt and trim- ming the taxes. Also people are changeable in their habits; and unless a very energetic effort is made to hold old customers by ad- vertising, a lot of them will go elsewhere, attracted by the various inducements that are offered them. ' We suggest that the time has arrived when the govern- ment should seriously consider the question of compulsory automobile insurance for public liability, and that driving licenses should be issued only to people who have proved their fitness to drive. The progressive business firm finds that it needs to be constantly making new friends and creating a new circle of customers. If it just depends on satisfying those who have previously bought its goods, it is likely to see its trade dim~ inished. Population changes more rapidly now than form- erly, and if a firm has a certain list of customers this year, it can expect, as the result of all the changes that naturally occur, that a considerable proportion of those customers will not be on the list in a year or two. The reduction in the sales tax concerns the pocketbook of every consumer. It’s an ill Wind that blows nobody good. The cold weather in Great Britain and Europe has stimulated the de- mand for British coal, and some of the miners an Wig given work. Whatever may be done in the observance of Lent, ’or any other religious season‘, festival or service, is never lost time or effort. With the ’qu epidemic now more or less, but a disagree- able memory, it is comforting to know that it was of a much milder form than its predecessortthe fatalities being much less. Those who sufferedâ€"and they were manyâ€"were convinced their attacks were quite severe enough, but the percentage of deaths was far less than during the previous visitation. There is one notable feature about the ’fluâ€"it is no re- specter of persons. It falls alike upon the just and the un- just, rich or poor, busy or idle, old or young, without regard to sex, size or color. The vegetable and raw food devotee gets it as surely as does the lover of meats and starches. It was a coastâ€"toâ€"coast visitation, in fact other countries suff~ ered the same as Canada. Brampton has a bold council. It proposes to publish the names of all its citizens in arrears for taxes. That might be a useful method of helping the tax collector to clean up his r011. Any movement along this direction is encouraging. Mankind never runs into danger by following a straightfor- ward faith in Christian living. Churches are the guide posts, the beacon lights which point the way. Without them the world would be plunged into indecision and darkness and we would slip back into the cruelty and gloom of the Dark Ages. Perhaps when it makes another appearance the germ responsible for its misery will have been discovered. While it is true the Lenten season is not now observed with the rigor that formerly characterized it, it is also true that a wider observance of that season is observed. Nearly all churches, no matter of what denomination or faith, now pay special attention to Lent leading as it does up to Holy week and the arrival of Easter. It is also understood that many who are not attached to any church are especially mindful of the season, and, give it respectful recognition. Churches all over the world are now participating in their most active and intensive season of the year. Their summons to their members is to pause, as they have been taught through centuries is their duty and obligation.

Is the Blacksmith trade becoming extinct? It appears to be as there are none learning the trade and but few who know it remaining. The blacksmith of the good old days are few and far between. Last week Wm. Chase travelled all the way from Schomberg to Sandford to have some repair work done.‘ When the job was completed and upon request he was given his bill he voluntarily offered the Blacksmith another dollar because he considered his skill worâ€" thy of compensation. You may be sure such a display of “fair play” limbered up the arm of that aged :blacksmith. If this practise of givâ€" iing proper compensation for skilled :work was more appreciated, it might \ act as an incentive for others to learn ithe trade. l A number of farmers in the district Ihave developed a new source of rev- enue.

Whiteher Officer in Charge Sunday Services Holiness Meeting . . . . . . . . . . 11 A bad case of hog cholera has been located in the township of Markham on the farm of Richard Carruthers, four miles south of Stouffville, on the ‘tenth concession. When the governâ€" ment inspector visited his pens over 80 animals were ordered shot. Ten more had died only recently. Those who understand the disease are at a ‘loss to know how it started here, and some scout the idea that it is due to the nature of feed the hogs are gettâ€" ing. Mr. Carruthers is feeding the leftâ€"over dough and stale bread from a Toronto bakery, has done so for five years, and never lost a hog before. Others point out that this is much cleaner feed than “le1," such as some hogs are raised on. Salvation Meeting atorical contests which are to be held at Vaughan Road collegiate on March ‘5th.
