The answers were to be directed to the Mist and since that time, by actual count, there has been 22 answers from various parts of the county for thut girl. But before any ansivei s could reach us by mail the you n if lady had secured a position in St, Helens. in fact the very next day after the paper was published. We make this public notice that the young lany is not now seeking a position and that through a few words printed in the paper she did not remain idle Hut a few hours. Two weeks ago a "farm for rent" was advertised in the Mist and the owner came into the office within a few days and paid for his notice saying that his farm had been rented within a week and that he had received many enquiries since. Two months ago an estray notice was published for a young bull run ning at large and the owner found his animal before the sec ond notice was printed. Many other instances are known to us whereby a few printed wordi in the home paper has proved of great benefit, all o which goes to prove that it pays to advertise where advertising will reach the people.

While the funeral sermon preach ed by Itev. Dark was thoroughly ap preciated by the congregation as this beloved minister's sermons always are. What Is Your Income? Since the removal of the post office in St. Helens from the Cray building down on the Strand to the Masonic Huilding on Colum bia Street, there seems to be i a desire on the part of numerous business firms to follow the post office. In a city where there is no delivery and every patron of the office is required to visit the post office from one to four and five times each day, business buildings in the locality of the post office are sure to be in de mand. So far we have heard of no property changing hands on Columbia Street as result of the removal of the post office, but it is only to be expected that some changes will be made within a shori. time. This subject has been thorough ly di.icusjed on the streeetsof St. Helens during the past week and it is generally conceded that the business of the city will follow oos not decide to move here, it ! the post office, at least until such time as free delivery of mails is I more than probable that a aim f dry dock will be built here ajway. It is needed to round at the full success of the St. jefens ship building plant and is irv to come. This one thing it perhaps not add a great deal i the population of the city, but I will give employment to a umber of men and will bring eople to the town. It will matin t to considerable in the latter of increasing the growth f our little city. Then there is strong possibil- y pf the establishment ftchine shop and inauguarated. However this may be, there is no reason for the valuation of down town to de crease nor the demand for busi ness buildings dovn there,- for there is enough business in St. Helens to occupy two small streets anyway Only a few days left in which to file your income tax statement.
