tentlon 10 Not to He Neglected.
Many grocers consider II useless to
display stocks in windows for the pur-
pose Of attracting attention. The
same ones win carelessly stack up out
side heaps Of perishable goods, ana
fail to even use mosquito netting to
keep the flies of. One of the most
prosperous groceries In a large city
in the west made rapid progress from
a small stand to a big concern in a few
years. II was the neatness Of the
place and the display Of the goods. and
the promptness ia looking after orders
that bnllt up the business. This. at
least, Is what is claimed by the owner.
One Of the notable things about the
place is that there is nothing displayed
outside the store unless the same is In
a case. The show windows. one each
side Of the door. are as carefully fixed
up two or three times week as the
windows of a fashionable dry goods
store One display will be Of a certain
kind Of canned goods on which the
grocer is making a rum Cans will be
artistcally arranged in pyramids,
stars. triangles, with a view to har-
mony in the color arrangement Of the
labels. Later a display Of olives,
products. bacon. hams. sausages, lard,
catsups, condiments Of an kinds. will
be arranged. Everything is season
able. When the berries begin to ar
rive these are displayed In the win
dows, and sometimes the windows
made to hold whole stocks. While in
one window there may be a display Of
canned goods, in the other win be ar,

and complete assortments Of the goods
Of some well-known house Neathess
and cleanliness are the two principal
things to be observed in the grocery
window display. There should be am

IL is necessary that changes be made
frequently. And let the arrangement
Of the goods in the store correspond
well with the show made in the win
dows.

Ten FEET OF SNOW .#.
ON CANADIAN, ROAD
ONE Of THE WORST STORMS
THAT HAS PREVAILED.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 22.-One Of
the worst snowstorms that ever Q
CURED In the west is now at its height
and has completely demoralized the
Of both the Canadian Pacific
and the Great Northern railways. The
storm started night before last and has
continued with unaDatlng vlgor.
Ten inches OF snow has already fall
en-, accompanied by q terrible gale.
Snow has blown into the railway cuts
and in many cases is over ten feet
deep.
The Canadian Pacific ordered snow
,plows to the scene and they are hard
at work clearing the tracks, but little
progress can be made until the snow
ceases to fall. The expresses from
Vancouver and other western. points
are completely stalled and west bound
trains are held up. No trains from
the east have reached the city today
and it is uncertain when they will get
through.
The storm which broke over Alberta
province Tuesday night was unexpect-
ed by the railroad companies and
preparations were not made to receive
it.
The Canadian Northern train left
Edmonton at the usual time and pro
ceeded all right until near Islay, a
short distance east of Vermillion when
it ran into a snowdrift and stuck there
Efforts to go back failed and finally
another train was sent to pull It out
