PUBLIC OPINION

In his speech before the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World at
the British Empire Exhibition, Mr.
E. w. Beatty, President of the Can
adian Pacific Railway, told of the eX-
penditure of $67,000,000 by his COM
pany since 1881 in the Colonization
of the Dominion by advertising. Mr..
Beatty said in part-"Therein lies
the strength of Canada's position
Canada has had the confidence to ad-
Vertise, and to keep on advertising
because she knows she has some
thing worth while to offer" The ex-
penditure referred to was probably
not all appropriated to newspaper
space, but since the days of Benjam-
in Franklin the newspaper has been
a moulder Of public opinion. Through
it's editorials and news of the hap
penings of the day we are able to
grasp the meaning of current events
and even see enough of the future
to enable us to prepare to meet situ-
ations that do not yet exist.
Then, the advertising columns of
the newspaper are a source Of edu-
cation to those living in rural dis
tricts. People in out of the way
places are just as familiar with hap
penings of the times as those living
in the great centers of population.
The wife and mother-the stabiliZer
of the home, upon whom the burden |
and responsibility for the proper |
training and feeding of the family |
falls, depends largely on newspaper |
advertising in forming opinions and |
making decisions. Familiarity with |
advertising has given her a sensi-
tiveness to anything that rings false.
Therefore, advertising copy of gen.
uine article must be free from eXag

known and universally used builder
of health, ScOtt's Emulsion, has been
advertised in newspapers for fifty
years. It has been recommended to
the public as a tonic-fOod for every
member of the family and the credit
for the phenomenal growth in sales
from year to year is given to truth
full advertising in the newspaper and
the ability of the reading public to
intelligently select the tonic best
suited to their need. Scott e Bovine,
makers of Scott's Emulsion and XII
moids for Indigestion, state that this
growth is surely tangible evidence {

standing each Other-a positive So
cial religion must continue to exalt

words stand for world of joy tC
every spOTtsman-and soon, it will
be open season on almost all game
furred or feathered.
The old hunting instinct may lie
dormant the rest of the year. But
there is something in these autumn
days that forces it wide-awake. AS
Kipling puts it, spOrtsmen hear "the
red gods call"
Whether for wild fowl or the
winged or four-fOoted dwellers in
the woods or fields, 'everybody's go

The fortunate fellows are planning
long hunting trips-and the less for

but few red-bloOded. twO-fisted men
who are not managing somehow to
squeeze at least several days shoot

SpOrtSmen Give Many Reasons for
Hunting
Ask men why they go hunting!
They'll give you many reasons.
Some-prosperous business or pro-
fessional men, probably-will tell
you that there's no better prepara-
ton for the winters work than some
time spent in the open with their
good Remington in hand, matching
their quickness and wits against
those of the game they're hunting.
They'll say there's no pep-prOducer

Others will declare that now the |
country and the woods are at the |
height of their beauty. Many of the |
trees are beginning to put on their |
gorgeous russet, scarlet and gold
coats of autumn foliage. The lands
cape on every side presents a panor-
anna in which they delight.
Still others prize most highly
beside the never-tO-befOrgOtten
thrill of hunting-a pleasure of a
more material kind; appetizing dish
es that are fit for king; roast duck,
rabbit or squirrel pOt-pie-yum-

There are most as many reasons
given for going hunting as there are
