How They Did 1t.

If any of our readers are inclined to doubt
whether newspaper advertising can be made
to pay we would point to the success achie-
we'd by the manufacturers of the strong A
Horse Blankets
A few years ago many horse blanket
manufacturers reduced the quality of their
goods to such an extent that it was almost
impossible for a horse owner to tell when
he bought horse blanket whether it was
strong or not. Many of our readers have
doubtless, in the past, purchased such
blankets and found to their great disgust
that they would wear out in a few weeks.
The GA Horse Blanket manufacturers
believed that people did not want to be
fooled, and that owners of horses would
buy strong horse blankets if they knew
how to tell the difference between q strong
blanket and weak one. Many years ago
they decided to make their horse blankets
unusually strong and give them the name
ga Horse Blankets, so that when they adj
vertised these goods in the newspaper ow.
ners of horses would know what to ask for.
They sew the ga trade mark on the inside
of each blanket, and no blanket is genuine
without this trade mark. The A trade
mark is a guarantee that the horse blanket
is strong and will stand rough usage.
The manufacturers of ga Horse Blankets
have found honesty to be the best policy.
Their blankets are known over the entire
United States we'll as they are known to
our own readers, for they are advertised
everywhere. Newspaper advertising, and
the stand they have taken to make horse
blankets that will wear we'll, have made
The manufacturers of Horse Blankets
the largest makers of these goods in the
world. They own their own mills, have
the very latest labor saving machinery, and
make their blankets from the raw stock to
the finished state and at prices to suit every
hndY.

Prohibition a Duty,


Can fail to be a Prohibitionist if 1 obey
the requirement to love God with all my
heart, and soul, and mind, and my neigh
Dor as myself? God forbids the liquor
traffic. How can any man profess to love
God while conniving at the existence CT that
traffic? What God reprobates no real lover
of the Lord can sanction. L desire my chill
dren to be shielded from the lures of the
dram shop. Shall not vote to shield my
neighbours children? But those lures will
exist while the iramshop has an existence.
1 must, therefore, in the interest Of society,
for the sake of the love that I bear to my
neighbor, and as a part of the devotion
which | render to God, be Prohibitionist,
and work earnestly for the overthrow of the
traffic in intoxcants. In no other way can
do the duty which rests upon me with
the solemn weight of moral obligation.
No revenue bride may get my approval to
that which will inevitably ruin and damn
human souls. D. B. TURNEY.

Recently, when two hundred or more
drunkards were gathered in meeting by
the Breakfast Association, speaker asked
that all who had begun to drink after the
ago of twenty one would raise their hands.
Six responded. He theft asked that all who
had begun to drink before they were
twenty one, would raise their hands. A
sea of hands were raised. By saving the
boys from the saloon we can 60 far to save
the next generation.
1t is not the drunkards who sustain the
saloons. The real drunkard earns nothing,
and has nothing to spend. The saloon is
sustained by the moderate drinker. the man
who works one day that he may drink the
next, who works six days that between Sat
urday and Monday night he may pour his
earnings into the gorged till of the saloon.
1t is sustained by the young man just be-
ginning to drink, who is his new-found en-
joyment, is eager to treat all his friends,
and to be turn treated by them. 1t is
these that sustain the saloon.-Ndtional

-''Borrowing" says the great poet of
the human heart, "dulls the edge of
husbandry," and the following from an
exchange can be read with profit by
farmers: "To lend unto the needy and
give unto him that asketh is both charitable
and neighborly, and, when the practice is
properly conducted, great convenience all
around, but when it is all on one side it
becomes another thing entirely. A farmer
may be supplied with an outfit OF such tools
and implements as are necessary to carry
on his farm ard garden, but to keep them
in possession and in good order is not so
easy. One comes to borrow a hoe, rake or
shade, TOR use in his garden; another wants
to borrow a saddle to ride a few miles,
another a log chain, swingletree, mattock,
etc, until half the things on the place are
lent out, and when wanted for use must
either be sent for (much the III ost probabe)
or the owner do without until it suits the
borrower to return them. But the evil does
not stop here. Not untrequentlly the Dor
rowe9 articles comes home broken, and if
of iron or steel, always rusty or dull even
if, after having kept it so long, the Dor
rover does not actually claim it as his own
That neighbors can accumulate each other
and with mutual advantage, there is no
doubt, provided the practice is properly con =
ducted-there then being, as old Grimshaw
would say, reciprocity in the business but
with the advantage all ON one side it is a
Govt of rpci Drocity not SO agreeable on the
other. The farmer should first provide
him self with the necessary tools to carry
! on his farm, and if by accident he is COM
PEELED to borrow he should at least take
good care of and return anything that is
| lent him the moment he is done with it,
