"My subject is "How to get the most out of Advertising" or "Looking thru the nickles at the dollars beyond- Advertising Advertising is as necessary to a hardware dealer as fertilizer is to a farmer- Advertising is merely getting better acquainted with the public and the newspaper without question is one of the greatest factors for the upbuilding of any progressive establishment. establishment.

Grand Lodge, Mr. W. C. Mikel, B.C.L, K.C., of Belleville, was elected Grandi Master. He is a member of one of the old pioneer families of Ontario that left the United States and all their belongings after the close of the American Revolur tion and came to Upper Canada, then little more than a wilderness, to help keep the grand old British flag waving on this continent. Grand Master Mikel, who has served _ as a Captain in the l$th Battalion, A.L.I. inherited inherited his military instinct not only from his paternal ancestors, but also from his maternal ancestors, as his maternal grandfather grandfather was a captain in the Royal Irish Dragoons. He is a graduate of Albert College and Trinity University, and is one of the prominent lawyers of Ontario. Thrice within the last seven years he has been elected head ot influential societies | in Ontario. In 1907 he was elected President President of the Ontario Municipal Association, Association, in IQ12 President of the Ontario Bar Association, and now Grand Master of the A.O.U.W., a rather striking tribute to the esteem in which he is held by those with whom he has been associated.

From a letter to the Editor and Mrs. James we have taken these extracts : When we left St. Louis, Mo., March i> it was snowing and when we reached St Augustine, Florida, it was good old summer summer time. This place is pretty and historical, historical, a favorite resort for northern tourists. The old Spanish places are left just as they were when it was owned by Spain. Present owners take care to preserve preserve original conditions for that makes the chief attractions. One business street for instance is only 6 ft. I inch wide--the principal thorofare when the Spaniards ruled here. Stores are still doing business in'it. Visited Porlcullis, Fort Marion, built 1565. Over the entrance is the original original Coat of Arms of Spain. This Fort is well preserved. Saw the market where they sold slaves. -Fort Myers was ; next visited. It too is a pretty place with a lovely climate. Large and productive grape fruit and orange groves flourish here and other tropical fruits and flowers. The fresh fruit picked and eaten from ihe trees possess a lusciousness not found in the unripe fruit shipped to the north. Here, too, are most flourishing truck gardens, gardens, artistically laid out making a picture to look upon. A well-to-do Southern lady invited us to dinner at her home one dav--everything grown on her own grounds. We had bacon and eggs, new potatoes, green beans, peas, onions, cucumbers, cucumbers, lettuce, celery, strawberries, grape fruit and oranges. Mr. Editor, you may imagine how we relished a feast like that, the vegetables and fruit are gathered in the middle of March. Beautiful homes and grounds, flower gardens and tropical plants are in evidence in this town of 4,000 population. Another great pleasure trip is a sail 18 miles up the river to the Gulf of Mexico, the scenery on either side being exceedingly beautiful. From Fort Myers to Tampa the journey gave us a variety of country--pinelands, swamps, orange groves, gardens, etc. The soil is very sandy, only occasional spots of rich soil--not an agricultural country like Ontario by any means. Much of it is wild and unbroken. Small villages _ are along the railway from where fruit is shipped to the cities. Phosphate mines are seen at some points. Fertilizers . are made at these. It is necessary to fertilize the land to get it to grow anything worth while. It sells at $35 a ton and the people told us they use a ton to an acre every year. The soil looks like the sand on Lake Ontario beeches. Tampa is a lovely city of beautiful homes with spacious lawns ih which are the various tropical trees, plants and flowers. This is a noted tourists resort and hotels are plentiful. Cubans are many. Here is a large tobacco . Factory where the fragrant Havana cigars are manufactured. The city is on Tampa Bay and a great many boat trips ran out from it. We greatly enjoyed a two-hours sail to St. Petersburg, a city of winter homes, population 12,000, pretty homes, good streets, splendid beaches for salt water bathing. From here, too, run numerous numerous boat trips to various islands, and Gulf of Mexico. We saw the island Mrs. Russel Sage bought for the birds and it is alive with an endless variety of feathered songsters and others with no song. Here we get the sweet juicy fish and we eat fish every day. One fine bathing beach is at Pass-a-Grille on an island in the Gulf, seven miles long and the lovely shells found here--you can pick them up all along the sandy beach. Here are numerous numerous hotels, pretty cottages, restaurants and amusements galore. It is two hours sail from St. Petersburg. We are going to Jacksonville from here. We travel by day mostly to see the country and magnificent magnificent scenery. Everything is so very different down here and the salt air is so bracing that you should bring Mrs. James down here for a winter sojourn for a rest and change. To-day, March 19, we took a 75 mile auto ride to Tarpon spinning along the Gulf, then thru orange and grape fruit groves, pine and palmato forest and vir- gin country. Tarpon Springs is the place where Tarpon fish are plentiful and got its name from this variety. Tarpon claims the greatest sponge industry in the country. Divers are at work day and night shifts. It is quite a business place with wealthy homes, large hotels and pretty gardens. To-morrow we go to Bayton Bay and Saturday up the Mantee River where the scenery is said to be superbly grand. 1 % 0 I % MR.W.C.MIKEL, B.C.L., K.C., Grand Master Workman of Ontario.

This soci "ty bears a cumbrous name--Hastings County Junior Farmers' Improvement Association--and Association--and is the first of its kind in Canada. It was ushered into operation by a public banquet at Stirling some 130 young farmers'sons farmers'sons and daughters in theirteens or early twenties being present and much youthful enthusiasm was in evidence, judg- ing from a three-column report in Daily Ontario of Belleville. Splendid addresses were given in response to a round of toasts by prominent educationists, representative representative agriculturists, breeders, etc., and the speeches make excellent reading. In speaking speaking to the toast "Our Country", Principal Geo. E. Kennedy, B.A., of Stirling high school s id: Our country was great because because we honored womanhood. Our greatness greatness was also due to our universal love of freedom. We were great because of our love of knowledge, and of our love of acquiring knowledge. The keynote of progress was the desire to do. We had great difficulties to face in Canada and evils to overcome. We should not shrink from difficult things; we often do not succeed succeed because we do not try. He hoped all those going out into active life would be animated by the ambition to make the world better. When the intelligent young farmers join hands for advancement m their noble calling there is likely to be sometnmg doing. doing.
