Just by Way Of Foreword THURSDAY, NOV. 15, 1928 ‘Lomond Territory | Full of Wheat Publicity is a necessity to the| With the rest rest of the oonntey | development of any community or enterprise. There are dif- ferent methods of achieving publicity which naturally in- clude the spreading of news by word of mouth, by letter or circular and various other ways | including bill boards, signs, etc., and the more modern radio distribution. None of these, however, have been able to achieve such satis- factory results as a newspaper. It’s regularity of publication permits every anticipated hap- pening of general interest to be announced a sufficient time be- fore its occurrence to allow everyone to participate in the event, of whatever character it may be, As a means of com- munication between business men and their customers it is the only utility that has con- sistently proven its value in either rural or urban centres, Other means of advertising are valuable in their places, but no means has been devised to re- place the newspaper in distri- buting news or business an- nouncemeuts. For a local paper to be a success it must have not only the support of business men but of every possible adult resident of the community. It is not the publication of an advertise- ment that counts, no matter how attractive its contents, but the extent of its distribution, among possible customers. To insure the advertisements re- coive pruper avvention the medi- um by which ther are carried must be attractive enough with news items to secure perusal of the paper by everyone, partic- ularly the heads of households. Given these attributes the newspaper will invariably prove profitable to both public and publisher. While there must be enough business support to make the newspaper financially possible, the co-operation of the com- munity in making it generally interesting by contributing to its news columns whenever pos- sible is just as essential if suc- cess is to be achieved. The operation of a local newspaper has never resulted in the pub lisher getting rich as a direct result vf bis newspaper work, in fact he is usually one of the poorest paid individuals in the community estimated upon the basis of the actual work he per- forms, and as arule he contri- butes more to the advantage of general interests than any other business concern, In con- sequence the suggestion of co- operation upon the part of the public can scarcely be taken as a request for charitable sup- port. There is not an outstand- ing community in the country that has not a local paper, and the better the paper the better the community. Lomond has had some un- satisfactory experiences with newspapers which may make things more or less difficult for The Press. It is to be hoped, however, that the difference between a _ paper published from an offica of several years standing and close enough to practically guarantee the pub- lisher’s responsibility will not be allowed to suffer from previ- ous failures. This paper will continue to ran until every dol- lar paid to it is earned or the unearned portion will be re- funded, and the only consider- ation that will make the latter statement applicable will bea lack of sufficient support to continue it successfully, If Lo- Lomond is experiencing the ef- fects of the grain ec kens The Home elevator has erected two annexes with a | capacity of 50,000 bushels, while} vid McLennan elevator has pro- vided extra room for 25,000 bushels. Up to date 240,000 bushels of wheat have been shipped, 250,000 are in store and the amount in the hands of the farmers is estimated at 750,000 bushels. When it is considered this grain is practically all high |= grade the splendid crop reaped can be realized. The slow de- liveries owing to lack of trans- portation facilities has prevent ed the full benefit of the Crop being realized but confidence on the part of the business men is growing rapidly and there is no doubt that improved business conditions will result in rapid growth in every direction in the next twelve months. Changes ii in System Outlined to Teachers. Hon. Perren Baker, Minister of Education, delivered the fen- | ture address at the Southern Alberta Teachers’ Association eonvention, which concluded at Lethbridge, Friday afternoon. Atter examining the weakness of the present torm of ednea- tional administration in the Province, the speaker outlined the scheme of reformewhich it s hoped shortly to embody in a hill toa ha nineedA heli. the Legislature. This will involve a complete reorganization of of the Province into 20 larger units or divisions, each divided into five wards. A superinten- dent and two helping teachers will be the organizing officials in each division and the whole scheme promises to lead a yreat improvement in educational connections. Dr, M. E. Lazer ton of Alberta University also addressed the convention, which has been the largest on record, LITTLE—FLORENCE A quiet wedding at the parsonage in Champion, Wed- was svlemnized nesday afternoon, November Mth, when Mr. Jay C.

These cockerels almost invariably finish up as “ponies.” In other words, although they look large early in the season, they be- come set in their growth, and do not make birds of normal size at maturity. Cockerels of that kind should not be retained as breeders, as their offepring will have a tendency to mature in the same manner, They will lay early, before they reach proper body growth, and consequently lay small eggs through- out life. To summarize, the breeding male should be the son of a high laying, large egg hen. He should be well grown, of good size for his breed, and above all should be vigorous. While vigor may be denoted in every part of the bird, in the broad back- deep body, the well set legs and general action, and in the nervous force, the paramount requirement in an egg breeding male, is indicated by the bright, prominent, piercing eye set in a clean cut face, This is the kind of male that will give results. Trains Operating Northern Extensions Train service has been in- augurated on the new fifteen- mile extension of the Central Canada railway from White- law to Fairview, formerly known as Waterhole, an order authorizing the commencement of the service having been sign- ed on Saturday last by Hon. V. W. Smith, Minister of Rail- ways, following an inspection made by engineers of the de- partment. Construction work is also being pushed rapidly to. ward completion on the twenty- tive mile extension of the E, D. and B. CU. to Hythe, and it is ex- pected that this line will be in operation within a short time. Salt Strike Made At Waterways Work Continues On Southern Highways Recent contracts for road building awarded by the Department of Public Works include that to H. G.

Work on the gravelling will begin at once anc a start will be made very shortly with the Crow’s Nest contract, the in tention being to continue the work through the winter. To Stimulate Advertising “An idea which may stimulate an tdvertiser to use space does not need o be a grand, world shaking idea,” tates a bulletin issued by the Pen- wylvania Publishers’ Association. ‘Here is a very simple idea which ap- vealed to three different advertisers ind started them on weekly schedules: A fur dealer advertised every Thurs- lay and in all of his advertising he re- erred to the day as ‘Fursday.” A hoe shop advertised every Tuesday ind referred to the day as “Shoes- lay.” An optician chose Wednesday for his insertions and referred to it as “Lensday.” Alberta Trade With United States Increased Trade with the United States for the Province of Alberta during th« quarter-year ending September 30 1928, reached $1,800,790, an increax of $110,290 over the corresponding Period of 1927, according to the quarterly report of U. 8S. Consul S. C. Reat of Calgary. The total declared exports from the Calgary district for this period in 1927 were valued at $496,745 and in the same months oi 1928 goods to the declared value o! $645,674 were exported. The principa increase was in the exports of cattle. During July, August and September. 1927, 3,480 head of cattle valued at $166,993 reached the American mar- kets while in the corresponding months of 1928 a total of 5,579 heac of cattle valued at $312,416: were ex- ported. The chief exports from the Calgary consular district were: cattle, num- ber 5,579, value $312,416; fodders and feeds, 3,875 tons, value $116,481; woo! in grease, 218,952 pounds, value $51,- 767; lumber, 901,149 fe2t, value $32,- 260. From the Edmanton consula: Au important discovery in- dicating the wealth of resources in the northern part of Alberta is announced in the striking of a deep bed of salt in the test well being drilled at Water- ways under the direction of the Provincial Department of Rail- ways. Salt was encountered at a depth of 670 feet and the drill which has now reached the depth of 883 feet is still passing through this formation. Fur- ther tests are plunned to deter- mine the probable extent of these valuable salt deposits. McDougall Bros.

Additions to the lumber SELECTING THE BREEDING MALE about | It may seem a little early in the season to talk of selecting next spring’s breeders, but this is of such importance that it must be borne in mind early in the season, if best reults are to be secured. Early in the growing season the poultryman should have marked “for the block” all those chickens that had shown the character for slow feathering or any constitutional feathering or any constitational weakness, There will thus be re- served for breeders, only cockerels from high laying dams that have laid large eggs. This latter is of great importance as there is unquestionably a tendency to diminution in the size of the egg,. where selection has been followed for high production, without due care to also select for size of eggs.. During the latter part of the sum- mer and early fall it will have been: noticed that there were some Alberta Wheat Yield Average Reduced On the basis of returns received by the Department of Agriculture from threshers in all sections of the prov- ince, it is estimated that the Alberta wheat crop for 1928 will average ap- proximately twenty bushels per acre.
