When
We Say


Acadia Cream Sugar Corn is
the best Canned Corn on the
market, we mean that you
can't buy better at any price.
You can pay as much money
as you please, but the quality
and purity, so much to be de-
sired, will be lacking.
GIt is packed by people who
have made the business a
study. One variety Of corn
only is selected -and that is the
best grown. It goes into the
can the same day it is pulled
and when the can is sealed the
natural qualities Of the corn are
sealed in it.
G The tin cans are made right
at the factory and no solder or
acid of any kind is used on the
inside Of the can.
GYou'll not find strands Of the
corn silk in Acadia Cream
Sugar Corn. That's one Of
the many evidences Of a per-
feet system Of canning.
GBecause we have a superior
article in this Acadia brand we
propose to keep advertising it
and pushing it until every
family in town is familiar
with it.

Sport in America.

Before the Civil War we Ameri

There was considerable fishing, very
little angling. Thee was some fox.
hunting in the South, some SHOOTING
in the North. Tennis and golf were
unknown to US: croquet was decor
ously played. Driving and riding
were restricted to the few who coulc
afford the time and expense: one OF
two cricket elevens struggled for ex.
istence. There were no bicycles, ne
motors, Of course, only an absurd
velocipede or two. Extreme youth
flew kites" played marbles and
whipped tops. Among their elders,
however, there was mincing, arti-
fetal attitude toward all outdoor
sport which found its. fullest express
sion in quadrille, at croquet, or q
sentimental sailing expedition under
the calmest of skies.
However, even then we had yachts

good horses and were breeding better
ones, and we by inheritance were a
nation of men who handled a rife

sheer WEAKNESS of sadness and
trouble the germ of the old play
