KEEP AT }T!

If you toot your touter and then
throw away your horn, there’s not 4
soul in-the next few days who will
know that you were born. The man
who gathers pumpkins is the man wko
plows ail day, and the man who keeps
ahumping is the man who makes it pay
He who advertises with a short and
mulden jerk is the man who puts the
blame on the printer because it didn’t
work. The gent who gets the busi-
ness bas a long and steady pull, and
keeps the leeal paper for years quite
full. He plans bis advertising in a
thoughtful, honest way, and he keeps
right at it until he makes it pay, He
lng fuith in all the future, can with-
stand .2 sudden shock, and like the
Inan of scripture, has his business on

+ In. ‘keeping avith his. desire: to- give con,

structive leadership to this organizn-
tion find to be of service to it as well
ns to Canada as a whole, he wrote to
two score of the Dominion's leaders
in government, religion, efucation, f-
dustry, finance and business, In each
case he sought their opinions as to Can
ada’s greatest needs and the ‘manner
in which these needs should be met.
To each he put just one question:

“What can the editors of weekly news
papers do to make Crnada a better
piace in which to live and — work”
The replies of these distinguished gen-
‘tHemen have been studied.since by the

Herald will publish each week one of -
these letters. We believe that ouc
readers will see in these letters the tre
mendious value that. others have seen
in them. The Canadian Printer and
Publisher in Toronto, a trade journal,
describes these letters os “valuable
documents of euthorative observa-
tions.” Phat, in truth is what ther
are, for they are written by mer who |
ure lenders in their own = particular
sphere of activity, successful men who
haye risen to the top by the force of
their own ability and personality.

The‘subjects dealt with will include
the conduct of government, politics, re-
ligion, trade and commerce, socinl
problems, unemployment, probems of
the home, education, health, insurance
and other matters of national or indi-
vidual importance. ,

In presenting them to our readers,
we do.so with the thought in mind that
every Canadian shoud be vitally inter-
ested in the solution of the great pro-
blems that confront. us, and we feel
that individually we might be better
equipped te do our part to bring about
a solution ofter having perused ‘the
letters of these great leaders In the life
of our Dominion. The editer: Wwiil:-wel- .
