NUMBER 17
Eighty-four per cent of nil of
.1 . I '! 11.. Tlli
me uusinesa lanurea in mo unu
ed States in 1920 wero non-ad
vertisers. The other sixteen
per cent were poor, indifferent,
injudicious and intermittent ad
vertisers. It is also significant
that there has never been i
failure among firms, corpora
tions or individuals that went
about their advertising in tho
same methodical way in which
they handled every other detail
of their business. No matter
how small a business is or where
it is located, if there is any ren
son on earth why such a bust
ness should exist at nil, adver
tisingdone properly will make
it a bitruer and better business.
Spasmodic advertising will not
do it. Careless, inditferent,
slipshod advertising will not do
it. Hut advertising that is care
fully planned and worked out
before it is put before the pub
lie, and kept up persistently in
season and out of season, will
make business grow just tho
sumo a3 tho proper amount of
water and sunshine will make
vegetables grow. And every
year more und more business
people ure finding out thnt this
is true. Mt. View Leader.
Wo want to improve our lawns
this year, plnnt better gardens
and have lovelier musses of
f'owcrs mill vines than over bo
fore. Wo want this place to
please tho eje of whoever drives
or rides through it. Neighbors
are passing each other slips of
fine flowers, friends are ex
changing seeds und everybody
is planting. But before we color
our yards with blossoms lotus
clean up so our children can play
anywhere und keep clean and
so there will bo no can pile to
.offend the eye. There is no
place to dump cans on tho renin
aula without offending the law
and being liable to a $50 fin.
It doesn't help tho nppearanccn
to take cans from a lot, with
a house on it, to n lot without a
house. They are still an eye
Bore. So, unless wo are lucky
and can nay a garbago man,
let us fiattcnour cans with n
hammer nipl bury thum with our
nshes near fruit trees and berry
bushes to improve the crop, or
dig a place deep in tho potato
patch and burv them deep,
whether wo llatten them first or
not. Lot us pick up and burn
bits of paper blown around to
gether with last year's weeds
and rubbish. Beauty, yes clean
liness, first. Contributed.
If you start your work each day
with bright and cheery smilo
And sing n song along the way,
you'll find that lifo's worth
while;
But if you start your work each
day with ne'er a smile or song,
I know you'll find e'er day is o'er
that things will go all wrong.
Tho world e'er loves asmller.but
a frowners out of stylo.
So if u frown's upon your brow,
rcpiaco it with n smile:
Just wear a smilo and sing with
joy nlong your lifo's long way
Whafce'er bofalla don't lose your
smile I'm sure it ne'er wil
pay. Ex.

We sometimes hear people
say, "You can save your car
fare and more by going down
town to trade." That may be
true sometimes when you can
find a special sale, made to get
people there so they can sell
them something else that brings
a large profit. But sometimes
you can snvo more than oar faro
by remaining at home nnd
buying of the local merchants.
And then these merchants are
your neighbors, perhaps your
friends, and, other things being
enual. wouldn't you rather bur
of your friends and neighbors?
And very likely If these dealors
had some work that they wanted
to hire some ono to do, they
would hire you, if you could do
it, instead of going down town
to find some one to do it. Per
haps if you would think a little
you could find other reasons why
you should buy nt home. Sell
