Offensive Advertising. "Turn that wrapping pgaper the other side out," said a lady in a dry goods store as the clerk was putting up her purchase in a printed wrapping paper. "I don't want to be a walking advertisement of your store.. I read the,.papers as all in telligent people ought to -do and I think in them is the place £o advertise your business. .Intte .d of asking. your chstom ers to carry your sign around with each purchase of goods, go tell the people through the papers what you have to sell and how you sell it." The above item is making the rounds of. the newspapers, se pertinent,gid proper is it in fapt and senrtiment. , No woman carrying a package but has felt the same. way-and resented in spirit at least the use to which she has been put as a "walk ing advertisement." Merchants are hardly to be blamed for using a distinctive shade of wrapping paper, but it should be sub dued in color and style. The very color of the paper used by some stores is an of-' fense to the customers, and very bad ad vertising for that reasoi.---St. Francisville True-Democrat.

Items of Interest front Field and Factory--Beautiful Weather for Spring Plowing-Seed Cane in. Fair Shape. From the standpoint of the sugar plant ers the weather conditions of the past week have been well-nigh ideal, the meteorological calendar having consisted of balmy, spring-like temperatures and clear, sunny skies, with just enough cool ness in the atmosphere during the early morning and late evening hours to Bid a tinge of realism to the season and put life and energy into .man and beast. Spring plowing is being briskly.prosecuted under these exceptionally favorable conditions, and few and far between are the fields.in this neighborhood which do not show the attention they have received at the hahds of the plowing and ditch-cleaning 'gangs. Spring plant cane is being placed in"tihe ground as fast as the furrows are, oljened up, and if the beautiful weather wwieh'has prevailed foi. the past fortnight will.hold out for a week or two longer this arduous work will be brought to an early and most successful conclusion. Reports of'spotted seed are'received from. various loalities, but the general tenorof the advices :are to the effect that the seed is in fair condi tion and will cbmpare favorably with that put down in former seasons, being, far superior to last year's unusually poorsup ply. iyp s S.
