THURSTON. - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Assoc. Editor AN INVKNTOR GONE Thomas Alva Edison, world fam- (,:; inventor, has died at the wonder- ful age of 84 years after a gradual breaking down through illness. Ed- ison's great inventive genius will be a monument to his ability for gen- eiations to come. Probably the best known of his hundreds of inventions is one used in the home and office by million.; of people, the incandes- cent lamp or electric light bulb. He i- credited with many other invent- ions and many of them were only im- provements on the ideas of others. Nevertheless he possesed a keen mind and this faculty has been a blersing to mankind and will cor.tinre to be so for many years to come. W. M. S. Meeting The regular meeting of the W.M. S. of St. John's United church was held last Thursday, when the sub- ject under discur.von wt\. \'World Peace", and vory splendid papers were given showing that the securing of peace, international co-operation end ft l-v.ill, is a task to u'lich every Christian should be committed. The appaling growth of armaments since the close of the great war, which was to end all wars, staggers one, am! 'ly it is the duty of everyone con- cerned with human welfare to show a better method than force for dealing with our neighbors. We must speak and work for co-operation, mutual in- terdependence, we each can teach our children aad young people attitude* ->f world friendship, the causes and awful results of war, and the incon- ~i-.iter.cy between war preparedness and the Peace Pact and every intelli- gent citizen should strive to use his influence to put seme check upon the use of the public resources for mili- tary purposes. Let us not feel that individually we can do nothing but strive to work i'p a great volume of ;>u!ilic opinion in -.support of achiev- ing disarmament. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." EDITORIAL NOTES. We don't want to go to jail! The price for feeding prisoneu in the Owen Sound iail during the past year was 17.13 cents per day. No doubt it would be a case of mush for break- fast, irjush and milk for dinner and niilk and mush for supper. MONEY-BAHING STINTS Here's a stunt for church organiza- tions seeking a new idea for money- raising. The Young ladies' Bible class of Petrolia United Church en- tertained their husbands to a ban- quet, which preceded a most interest- ing and amusing program. Following the program, the unpaU-hing of a suit of overalls, which had been pat- ched a.i a means of raising money, was undertaken. The overalls had been passed around and 182 patches had been sewed on, under each one of \vhkh a siim of money was plac- ed. One of the number was dressed up in the garment and the patches taken off by the member* of the rla. -. It was found $4f> had been 1:1: cd by this means. Review Her- ald. When To Apply Lime | A test of the soil should be made I to make sure that it requires lime. I If the soil proves to bo acid then the answer to the question when to ! -pply lime might be "when you have time." Lime is for the benefit of all rops in the rotation, but particular^ of benefit to legumes. The best time is possibly ju-st before sowing a grain crop that is seeded down with alfalfa or clovers. Limin? land plowed for fall wheat which is i to be seeded with clover in the spring is a convenient and satisfactory practice. Lime is not a fertilizer, but .-.imply neutralizes the acidity of the soil and should be thoroughly worked into the soil during the prep- aration of a seed ; bed to become cfi'ic- ient. It is poor business to farm land that is lacking in lime ami strongly acid in reaction. The pro- drctive power of the soil is reduced when it becomes acid. Correcting this condition with the use <,f ground limo-:4one increases the efficiency of he manures am) fertilizers applied! md therefore contributes to the cut- ting down of costs of crop product-] ion. Making Money In Retailing i X THIS town are many retailers who could and should have larger busin- esses. actions every week. 200 customers. This mav mean The ri^ht way to get on in business is to set sales mark f or the year $5,000, 310,000. 820,000, $50.000 whatever is reasonable and within one's financial ab- ility. Then the year's objective should be reduced to weekly and monthly amounts, in accordance with the seasonal character of one's business. Then the next thing to do is to calcu- late the number of sales transactions needed each week to produce the weekly sales objective. Thus, if one's average sales transaction is 50 cents, and if one's weekly sales objecive is $100; then, clear- lv, the retailer must have 200 sales trans- So the retailer's job is to get into his store 200 customers each week an aver- age of 34 a day. These customers to be secured at the rate of 200 a week require to be (1) in- vited publicly and regularly, by advertise- ments in this newspaper; (2) informed about the seller's merchandise, prices and service again by advertisements in this newspaper, and (3) so well served by the retailer that they will become "repeaters" The main thing is customer attrac- tion in required and pre-determined numbers, and this is achieved by inter- esting and warm-blooded advertisements in this newspaper. A Our advertising department stands ready to help retailers prepare customer- attracting advertisements. Shooting Matches A shooting match will bo held on Lot.
