Unfavorable crop conditions early in the year were responsible for the rather serious decrease in the pack.

Short packs, however, involve higher cost of production, and as transactions later on will be to some extent between dealers, there is a likelihood of an advance in prices. ' . Outlook for Industry There has been quite an active trade during the year due to the fact that both retailers and wholesalers had been bttying very sparingly and the arrival of the new pack found them with empty warehouses. The demand for can- ned products is quite active and appears to be considerably better than in 1922. Canners are now preparing form large pack in 1924 and are pro- posing to operate practically all their factories to capacity.

This will have a ‘very im- portant bearing on increased consumption. Undoubtedly, if the preferential arrangements with Great Britain should go into effect it will also tend to increase export business materially. Ex- port trade has been more or less restricted since the war owing to the un- satisfactory conditions in Europe and it is not likely that there will be" very much improvement until the European situation is straightened out. In other countries such as the West Indies, Bermuda, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc., the demand is limited but the trade is better than in 1922. h . merchant curred i mercuauu. _ _.-' . They really advertise. They advertise in the most up-co-uc'": mom...“ taking plenty of space, using attractive display and price-quoting freely in order to show precisely what inducements they have to offer customers. The latest issue of The Independent, Grimsby, and any one of many leading weeklies, carries local advertising of the best kind. . When it is said that a [merchant’s advertising method is up-to-date, it‘ means that he benefits from the experience of all advertisers everywhere, the; slowly acquired knowledge which experts now possess and advertisers in the" manner that has been found to produce the best results. It may be remarked, too, that no advertising can be credited with bringing the best results un- less it benefits the buyer as much as it gratifies the seller. Somd of the town weeklies which now carry display advertising which vies with that in the metropolitan dailies used to find, thirty or forty years ago, that local merchants, scarcely believed in advertising at all. They felt, however, that they had to take space in order to "help" the local paper. Many a good man who started a small town weekly in Ontario has gone to his reward in a better world than this without ever having succeeded in convinc- ing his town merchants that he was giving them -value for what he received. They made him feel that in signing an advertising contract they were sub- sidizing him, and, that their voluntary action in doing so ranked with the virtue they displayed when they subscribed to foreign missions or sent a turkey to a poor family at Christmas. - " .

It is a new spirit in man, an attitude and disposition toward the ultimate realities of life-God, man and the world. Its first manife.station is in a new faith, a new hope, a new love. These are begotten in the heart of man by God in Christ-a Christ-like God. The resultantlife is primarily for the world, for the kingdom of God upon earth; and then for another world, for the kingdom of God in Heaven. It means the conquest of the world by its spiritual transfromation. It means a new will that strives after holiness andperfection, born of assurance that we are children of God. It creates a new form of human intercourse, a social community united in brotherly love. It results in a new relation to earthly goods, the mastery of all things and their subordination to the ideals of righteousness and love. Men are to see the universe of matter, and the nations of history through the eyes of Jesus, all co-operating for the attainment of the one far off devine event. In the strength of this vision they will spend themselves in works of faith, and in labor of love, with the patience of hope". 6:0).1 When you pick up one of the live weeklies published in one of the live ttcl -f4Nreario, you cannot fail to notice the great change that has oc- v".'., 1 recent years in .zhe character of/thc adsart'-gtiittigiitqtliggggitttit North Grimsby Township, for 1924, by acclamation.

DAMAGE T O RUSS BLOCK BY FIRE Fire which started from an over- heated stovepipe practically gutted a large sized portion of the upstairs of the Russ Block, on Main street, on Saturday morning. The fire started In the ceiling in the kitchen of the downstairs part of the building, Occupied by Samuel Leven and was noticed first by Mrs. F. E. Russ, when the smoke came up the stove pipe into the upstairs kitchen. An alarm was promptly turned in,l and when the truck arrived the chemi- l cal hose was carried to the very heart' of the fire but when the one chemical tank was opened the chemical solu- tion flew in all directions,' as the coupl'ng that connected the tank pipe and the hose pipe was so loose that the solution never reached the hose at all. Attempts were made to tighten up the coupling bit without ava'l and the big water hose was un- loaded from the truck. This hose was hauled out in any old kind of a man-‘ ner and by the time a stream of water; was available the (ire had gained great headway and" was rapidly eat- ing its way into the central part of the buiWng. Two streams of water were finally in use but by the time the fire was under control a great portion of the buiWng had been gutted. The water damage will also be heavy. The building and contents of Mr.' Russ were fully covered with imyur- ance, but Mr. Leven had no insurance l on his Contents. PAID UP LIST W. H. VanDuzer, Grimsby Murray Bush, Caistor Centre Dec. I.

Municipal elections are over £01: an- NEW POSTAGE- STAMP IS HERE Carmine in Color, Similar to Old Two-cent Variety Unheralded, a new three-centi stamp has appeared within the last) few days at the local post office, car-E mine in color, similar to the old two! cent stamps, to replace" the brown: three-cent stamp which has been in) use since 1918. This color is in ac‘-% cordance with that used in practic- ally all Postal Union countries. l The three cent stamp first appear-, ed of recent years when the two-l, cent King George stamps over- charged for war tax were superseded in 1917 by the special three cent brown stamp issued to commemorate the fiftieth birthday of the Dominion since Confederation, which bore a picture of the Fathers of Confedera- tion about the conference board. Postage stamps were first issued} in Canada in 1851, the early issues! being in pence currency. In 1859 the change was made to the' decimal, system. In 1864 the three cent stampi was a dull red ranging to a ..1ig11ti brown ,and in 1868-72 from a dull redi to vermillion in color, The one cent‘ stamp was issued in orange and in yellow, and the two cent value in" green and blue green. A gum“ a-” Wm c-r----' The next change occurred in 1897 when the girl-head of Queen Victoria, the former design, was superseded lor) the familiar jubilee stamps bearing two heads, one showing the greatl Queen on her coronation day, and onel in her widow's weeds. The colorsI were orange for the one-cent value,‘ green for the two-cent value, and car- mine, for the first time, for the three cent value. Later in 1897 another change was! made, the stamps being issued in similar size to those used at present, with the head of the Queen as she ap- peared at that date, and with maple leaves in all four corners ,the value appearing in words in a scroll at the bottom of the oval picture. The col-. ors ot the one and three-cent values were unchanged, but the two cent value appeared in purple. In 1898 value numerals were substituted in the lower corners. Penny postage was celebrated in 1889 by the issue of map stamps depicting the all-red route ot the British Empire, and in the same year the three-cent carmine stamps of the two previous issues were also placed on sale with the new value "two cents" printed in black across their face. Prom that t'me until the issue of! the War Tax stamps during the war period no three-cent stamps were in use tor postal service.
