Only Progressive Merchants Advertise More and more people are coming.to regulate their shopping by the store ads. More and more people are getting out of the habit of going to the nearest place, or to the baat place they have usually visited for certain purchases. More and more do people understand and believe that when r YOU HAVE A BARGAIN TO OFFER YOU WILL ADVERTISE IT ADEQUATELY--and that when you do not advertise it at all it is because you have not, at that time, anything to advertise. . ee More and more are people coming to decide things from reading the ads.---and depend upon the news and facts contained in the ads. for guidance in planning purchases. More and more are people coming to understand that only ENTERPRISING merchants advertise adequately and in- formingly---and---more and more---the people are coming to realize that only enterprising merchants deserve and should receive support ; that patronage otherv i wed is likely to encourage NON-PROGRESSIV merchants. More and more people are coming to discriminate against stores that do not advertise ENTERPRISINGLY, per- sistently, aggressively; for they realize that such stores are not up-to-date, and not the sort that will keep Red Deer in the van of live places, of awake communities. More the coming months than ever before will your ad- vertising be the test by which all else shall stand or fall-so plan it LIBERALLY, plan it on winuing lines. THE ADVOCATE can co-operate with you to the fullest in realizing the possibilities of advertising ouly if you take the completest advantage of itas a means of influencing the people in your store.

I Written by Dr. Adolphe Koster, official eye witness. , Extract from paper dated 30th March, 1917. DR. CLARK CANNOT BE SP Vegreville Observer The press report that Dr. Michacl Clark, M.P. for Red Deer, would not again be a candidate for the House of Commons, will be received with very real regret throughout the whole country and more especially in the west. Dr. Clark is one of the outstanding figures in Canadian pub- lic life. His ability is unquestioned, On- the economic problems affecting the state he isan authority and his presence in the House has undoubt- edly been beneficial in that his clear and convincing arguments against the pigtective system cannot help but have been effective in restraining the Government from carrying that system to any further excess. Dr. Clark, for reasons which do him credit, broke with the Liberat party on the matter of conscription The west is full of Liberals who be lieve much the same as Dr. Miclins Clark on that matter, but who are not at all prepared to follow hiv argurent that the Borden Govern ment should be sustained. But ka ing that aside, it seems to us tha the constituency of Red Deer shoul return Dr. Clark by acclamation, Troe, he is remarkably bull-headed according to his breed, but absolute ly sincere, honorable, straightfor ward. pnd that typeof man wh serves his country for his country good, We do not agree with him iv his support of the Borden Govern ment hut in a general way there is no man in Canada who adheref more closely to Liberal principles then does Dr. Clark The -.wesat Cano afford to he without. him in th House. THE HAIL STORM AT : HIGH RIVER High River Times The publicity given to Heh Haver and district as a result. of the hail storm is not of the desirable kind However, the immense loss of ratu indicates an excellence of crops un aucpassed in the province, and th district will to a great extent be enabled to stand this los? because o the fact that hail) storms have no becn frequent over the area covered, and never have been at any time anything like the storm of Tuesday. The fact is that the storm on Tuesday was terrific and the results immensely disastrous. The course of the storm was almost directly from west to cast; covering a stretch which averaged from three to miles in width and perhaps forty or more miles in length. of the storm everything in the shape of field and garden crop is absolute ly cleaned. Conservative estimates place the loss of grain at more than a million bushels, and the loss in value will reach o ore than two mil- lion dollars. Reports from the dis- tricts axt and west of the town are a confirmation of the correctness of the statement that the figures given are indeed not at all over the mark. Farm buildings and vutldings of every kind everywhere suffered to a more or less extent, broken windows ami damaged rovls being the chief cause of loss. The storm ltollowed a short period of hot weather, and broke over the town here at about 1.30, and lasted but a few minutes, but the violent downpour* of large hail, with wind, rain, lightning and thunder accom paniment, created a storm that was terribly grand, and it is doubtful if any as bad have ever before been known in the province. The detail of damage and loss ix dificult to procure, and perhaps wil never be accurately figured, but that the loss is great, very great indeed, ia a certainty. Information as to in- dividual Tosses is not yeh available. One feature which has developed in connection with the disaster is the remarkable spirit of the losers, who demonstrated a faith in the country which has been created by the suc- coas of years, and in this period adversity they are plarming for next year. The storm area, though of con- siderable size, is not the whole dir trict any means, and this sec- tion of A.berta will still reap a In the path in the world means IRIG The Gum of Gumption is liked above all others: : That its quality, lasting flavour and its sealed package ate the -kind-most ap- preciated. ; And that its benefits to. teeth, breath, . . appetite and digestion have been proven.
