As for the people there, it re- quires a visit to appreciate them. The intelligent citizens from the States almost invariably find them `our kind of people, with perhaps a little more courtesy than is customary among us. The visitor who has been abroad among alien races appreciates especially the advantage of nd- ing, so near at hand, in such a ne national setting, our own language and civilization and in point of. views.- Absurdly easy g. either to do business or have a good time. Such differences as there are only enhance the in- terest and add piquancy to tra- vel and intercourse. Here are two countries which ought to know each other better. `They will profit mutually by closer` personal association. , In cold~ dollars and cents the tour- ist trade is invaluable. to Canada, `but from the standpoint of building up better relations between the" two countries its value cannot _be estim- ated. - ' wnswv However, there is another aspect of the tourist trade which is eyen more vital and more important. This is theifact that thousands of Amer- icans from the interior states to whom Canada is a foreign nation and who imagine it is still largely a trackless forest peopled by bears, uausannso moose, Indians and gay Voyageurs,` are having their eyes opened. The constant streams. of Americans to` Canada will do more than any treat_- ies or acts of Congress or Parliament to make for good-will between the [two countries. I I ' ' (London Free Press) . One is impressed this year with the enormous number of American automobiles to be seen in the streets ---and the highways of Ontari_o.tH'alf the cars on the road seem to be from the United States.

The editorvof,-the Elmira Signet, in speaking of the progressive spirit of-the town of St. Marys, dwells on the comprehensive advertising policy of its merchants, to which he attrib- 5 utes the success which they have over lmany other towns in holding their {home town business from the `cat- lalogue trade of the big department . houses. ~ I . 1 fro or-'1-`si-:1" CATALOGUE I-iouses . (Renfrew Mercury) _ There is one way, we believe, byl M which business in Renfrey could be` very. much improved, "and that is by consistent, co-operative advertising on the part of our merchants in their; `local paper. Whenever such a sug-I gestion is put forward by a paper, ,it is very apt to be lightly dismissed with some remark about the editor trying to drum uphis own business; For that reason he hesitates some- .what to advance it, butgit is true, V nevertheless. not have put it forward at this time, !however, had the suggestion not been made to the editor by a young man prominently connected with the sell- ing end of one `of Renfrew s .ind_us- tries. Discussing the business situa- tion the other night ` with a small ;group, he declared that he Qavelled `around the country quite a bit and thought Renfrew was holding its own during this trying period as well as most towns, but, said he, `.`I believe the merchants of_Renfrew-would do far more business if they did more ladvertising. Ifa large number of merchants would each offer a head- liner in the Mercuryevery Friday for Saturday's business," he said, they `would, be surprised at the volume of trade` they could-bring to this town." Continuing, he explained the, amount of advertising industries had to `do today to market, their products, and he claimed the same thing was true of every other line. If a merchant l wants to offset the highly specialized catalogue houses today, he conclud- ed, he has got to tell the people I what he's got and invite them to come to his ' store 9! and share some real values. We are hearing a lot" these days about the progress and prosper- ity of Pembroke. The large volume of local display advertising carried in the papers each week by the mer- chants without a doubt contributes very largely to` the business prosper-- lity. At the present time Renfrew stores carry less advertising than the stores oftany. town in the Valley.

This; versatile. and` clever young French-1 Canadian was evidently born to pub- licity, and pol-itical activity, and al-' though he. has been less in the pub- lic eye in recent years, the part he took for several years -in Canadian public life warrants his inclusion in ` ouriCanadian Who s Who. Born in a Montreal in 1868, the son of an author and painter, Mr. Bourassa had the `advantages of an educated -par- entage, His early education was re- ` ceived through private tuition. Early in his career he entered" journalism, not only as editor and proprietor but as a contributor to many French and English periodicals and reviews. In ' addition, he was the author of num- - * erous pamphlets; indeed, he almost qualied himself at this time as a 3 true pamphletter after the manner of j old France. His subjects dealt with - nationaland imperial topics; in fact, Q he became the leader for a time of the so-called . nationalistic school, and, in that capacity, stirred up a lively `degree of discussion that some- 4 C times became "acrimonious, especially : in the \heat of an election campaign.
