Up In Canada, we noticed one
time, they put humps in the high
way wherever there Is q tendency
to let 'er out. After hitting these
almost invisible bumps q time or
two the motorist begins to lose his
yen for speed. They are not bad II
taken at a reasonable rate of speed,
but at forty or above they are bumps
mot humps. It might be possible
to adopt some such scheme here.
Possibly q system Of signals might
be worked out-one hump to mean
q crossroad, two q railroad crossing,
three bad curve, four q congested
area and five right close together
might indicate the corporate limits
Of q town. It's a cinch that these
bumps are effective and its an equal
cinch that ordinary roadsigns or
traffic regulations are not effective
In most cases. It might be worth
q try. We notice that motorists
along Washington street slow down
because Of the almost continuous
series Of humps and bumps along
its length.

DR.. Stones idea about enlarging
the park is a good one, we think.
That lake idea is fine one. It
could be done with almost no cost
and would be a decided asset to
our park system. It would just be
matter of scooping out depress-
irriion of suitable size and fill it
with irrigation water. Planting the
banks about it would be the biggest
job, and that wouldn't amount to
much. If we want it, it's just a
matter Of going about it. Let's do it!

A TOTAL LOSS

A man who owns a seasonal bust
ness but who spends about one
hundred thousand dollars a year
in advertising says that he has
learned one thing from experiences
that has cost him money, as so
much experience does. He says he
has learned that advertising money
spent for anything else but space
in the local newspaper is almost
dead loss. He says he tried other
methods which were sold to him by
smooth talking statesmen, but none
Of them produced results. The diff
ference between newspaper adver-
Using and other advertising, says
this man who has learned from ex-
perience, is that the newspaper Is
read carefully by nearly everyone
who takes it, while other forms Of
advertising are thrown away with
out reading. The fact that more
money is spent each year for news
paper advertising than for all other
forms Of advertising combined in
dicates that If you want to get the
most from your advertising money
then the newspaper is the medium
to spend 1t with.
