The regular meeting of the Tillson burg and Dereham Agricultural Society was held at the Roval Hotel, last Wednesday evening, with a splen did and very enthusiastic attendance. The president. H. F. Johnston, occe- pied the chair, and several communi cations were received and designated to their proper committees. Roy A. Darrow, chairman of the attractions committee, reported that this com mittee had held several meeting* in the Cst month, and submitted the follow- r report which was adopted in full :— “The signing of a contract with the Boyd and Sullivan shows, to supply the midway at a price equal to that received from the Wallace Bro*., last year, with five rides and several shows definitely designdated on the conract, and a cash deposit of $200.00 to be paid by July 10. 1928." The signing of a contract with Wirth and Hamid of New York Gty, to supply the follow- free act* in front of the grand stand: The Paulus Co.

The com mittee recommended the engaging of the First Battalion Duffcnn Rifles Band, of Brantford, consisting of 25 pieces and leader, also the engaging of the Variety Entertainers of Lon don, consisting of six artists, approval to reference* as an addition to the evening program.” The president complimented the com mittee on the election of so many talent ed artists. The local fair enjoys a very exclusive feature in the fact that they have the choice of the very best acts contracted by the Canadian National Exhibition, because of the local dates being a week ahead of their dates. Those who visited Toronto last year will well remember the dauntless Paulus, who, sus-ended from a ninety foot slender swinging pole, performs the most hazardous serie* ot stunt* known to mankind, concluding with a 200 wire slide hanging by the teeth.

A large assortment of beat quality When the doors of the opera house were opened at 7:15 Thursday erening last there was a waiting crowd outside. Persons who had been present at any of the past fashion shows put on by the Northway-Rush Co., knew the impor tance of being on hand early, and there was a steady stream of people from the time the doors were opened until the scats were fairly well filled. Those who arrived about 7:45 found the house filled to capacity, and it was interesting to note how many were willing to stand all through the performance to the last number.The sta^ was specially set for the occasion, none of the usual sta^e scen ery being used, but instead rich tap estry, gold on blue, flanked the rides, while the rear curtain was of gold-on black. The regular drop-curtain was dispensed with, and a draw curtain of rich brown divided the stage so that the front portion could be used while changes were being made at the rear. On either side behind the footlights were rases qf carnations under the shadow of handsome floor lamp*. On either side of the centre rear en trance were lovely baskets of apple blossoms, lending a very spring-like effect to the occasion. Mis* Helen Treslain presided at the piano in her usual efficient manner, and during the two intermissions several delightful number* were rendered by the Imperial Hawaiian orchestra, an organization of young ladies, two of whom, pt least, were member* of the Northway-Rush Co. staff. The opening numbers displayed sport garments in wool georgette, kasha, jer sey, kashmir, and fine knitted fabrics. One of the new features shown in sport togs was the colorful batic scarf in harmony with the use of flat color. One of the sport models which received much applause was a fine black jersey in two-piece style, with triangular scarf of printed crepe in Oriental colorings, and narrow band trimming to match on pleated skirt and bottom of blouse. After these opening numbers the cur tain was drawn, and little Betty Mc- Niven sang in her own sweet way a pretty Scotch song. Then followed in rapid succession street dresses, ensembles, tailored and dress coat* in tweeds, charmeen, broad cloth, and kasha cloth, also the two- piece tailored suit in twill cord, tweed and kasha. Displayed with each gar ment was a fitting accessory, such as beige, platinum, silver, white, red or brown fox scarfs, silk crepe scarfs in (Continued on page 9) The home of Mr. and Mr*. H. S. Eyre, North Broadway, was the scene of-a most delightful gathering on Fri day afternoon last, when the ladies of No. 4 Division of St. Paul* Ladies’ Aid gave a St. Patrick's tea. The house was filled to capacity, and a very jolly time was spent by the guests. The rooms were tastefully decorated in green and white, as were also the tables. Upon entering the door each guest had a paper bag placed on her right hand which was to remain there until worn off by shaking hands all around. That started the fun going, and the utmost harmny and good feel ing prevailed throughout the after noon. Games and contests of an Irish character were indulged in, the pro gram concluding with an Irish tea, served in cafeteria style. The menu was somewhat unique, consisting of the folowing:—Paddy’s pride, sliced, (ham;) uncomfortable predicament, (pickles;) nervous prostration, (jelly;) Paddy's peaches in disguise, (potato salad;) staff of life and a mischievous young goat, (bread and butter;) sweetness in a rise, (tarts;) old maid* consolation, (tea;) Adam's champagne, (water;) chip off the old block, (tooth picks.)

Price, is one that will commend itself to the public generally. All person* who sell securi ties, whether acting as officials or sales men. are included in the Act. subject to certain specific exemption*. The clauses defining fraud and fraudulent action are most comprehensive, includ ing “generally any course of conduct or business which is calculated or put for ward with intent to deceive the public or the purchaser* of any security as to the nature of any transaction or as to the value of such security.” In speak ing of the bill. Mr. Price said: “The aim ha* been not to single out any class of stock, mining or otherwise, but to put all stock on one basis, and prac tically control this matter by registra tion of broker and salesman, and by exacting necessary bonds from time to lime. If the fraudulent foreign sales man i» here he must give some security to thi» country that our citizens are not going to be defrauded. I may say the bill has the approval of all the indus trial. banking and brokerage organiz ations of the country. Naturally it would not have the approval of the man who sells crooked securities, but 1 think you will find 90 per cent, of the people will welcome an Act of this kind.” Every broker must file a bond of $500. This is done to give the Attor ney-General's Department an oppor tunity of controlling the assets of the defunct broker who has defrauded the public, otherwise the assets may be fritted away. The registrar may refuse registration within a ten-day period after application if directed by the Attorney-General to do so.

Since 1912, when the Board of Railway Com missioners organized the fire inspec tion department, protection along the railroads has been operating as a tri angular co-operative organization, in cluding Railway Commission, the Do minion and Provincial Forest Protec tion Services, and the railways of the country, to reduce forest fire losses along the railway lines. Today there arc 126 field inspectors throughout the Dominion acting as local officers of the Board. In 7,203 miles of line through forest sections 871 special fire patrolmen are engaged. On another 6,214 miles of line through forested territory regular section forces and other employees are organized to take care of fires starting on the right of way. Annually about one million dollars is being spent by the railways to safe guard Canada's forests along the 97 per cent, of the steam railway mileage in Canada under the Board's jurisdiction. What has this co-operative organiz ation accomplished? Instead of railways holding a leading place as cause of forest conflagrations, the records of the four years from 1923 to 1926 inclusive show that only 16 per cent, of the fires and but 5 per cent, of the area burned is attributable to rail way origin. Let us compare these results with two States to the South of us. We find that Pennsylvania railways are respon sible tor.30 to 35 per cent, of the num ber of fires and area burned. Again in the State of New York, 14 per cent, ol the fires and 20 per cent, of the area is attributable to railways. In other words, 30 and 20 per cent, as against 5 per cent, of our Canadian Railways. Railways today are not included in the major causes of forest devastation. The crown goes instead to the travel ling public and the settler. Education, and education only, will accomplish here what has been done with Canada's railways. Fur Counterfeiting Box M STBA^FOHDVILLE. ONT. LD. Whit* Aucnowm Uero-ed ft* Co—ty of Ncrfcft. ‘ 11 if 57 varieties of fur*, with high sounding name*, manufactured from the hides of rabbits and hare*. Rabbits, hares, muskrat*, foxes and skunks are the chief sources of these furs which change their names when they enter the dying vat*. Muskrats, fox and skunk are sometimes sold un der their own name, but bunny never. An end will be put to this commercial counterfeiting and misrepresentation if furriers live up to their agreement with the United States Federal Trade Commission. They have adopted a truthful system of naming and marking skins and promise to abide by it. However, this questionable trade practice of selling cheap' rabbit skins for costly furs from the nonh will not be abolished simply by stamping the true identity of the pelt on it* leather tide. When pelts reach the ultimate consumer the leather is effectively con cealed by lining. Not even prosecu tion* by the Trade Commission win wipe out such dishonest practices. By its very nature the fur business places upon the merchant the responsi bility of buying from trustworthy job bers and manufacturers, and imposes upon the prospective buyer of a fur coal the responsibility of dealing with a reliable merchant.

A test was made on a nine- room home in Toronto, heated by elec tricity from October 1st to May ISth, using no other source of heat. The winter was somewhat colder than the average. In this case more than 52,700 kilowatt hours were used. At the low est net domestic rate in Ontario, ninc- tenths cents a kilowatt hour, it cost $47X30 to heat the house. It would have cost $192 to heat it with anthra cite coal at $16 a ton. Mr. Barnes also found that nearly 2000,000 horsepower would be required to replace the 900,000 tons of anthracite used to heat To ronto's homes in addition to the power used for other purposes. At the cheap est power rate in Ontario. 54 cent a kilowatt hour it would still cost one and one-half time* a* much to heat by electricity a* by ant’ racite. Barnes found.

Merrit ton, Ontario, March 192& Milk and Tuberculosis Health Service of the Canadian Medi cal Assosiation The value of milk is not the first year of life. As grows, he needs to enlarge but milk continues to be important article in this diet during the years of growth. Every child should have one pint of milk * , provide the necessary growing sub stance* foe the body. Young children have very little re sistance to tuberculosis. In their earliest year* - they arc easily over come by this disease. There are two type* of the tuberculosis germ, two members of the same family as it were which cause tuberculosis in children— the human and the bovine type. By far the greater number of cases are caused by the human type. The borine type is responsible for about 25% of all tuberculosis occuring amongst chil dren. In children, tuberculosis often attacks the bones and joints, and so is responsible for much crippling. The bovine type of the tuberculosis germ comes from cows suffering from tuberculosis, and reaches th the child through milk. A* a large percentage of milch cow* have tubcrcuiosi*, it follows that a large percentage of milk is infected with the bovine type of tuberculosis germs. From this it to evident that, unless the necessary pre cautions are taken, milk is a real fac tor in the spread of tuberculosis to young children. It is part of any campaign against tuberculosis or towards the improve ment of child health to see that the milk supply is safe and pure. A safe, pure milk supply, free from all danger of carrying tuberculosis or any other disease to human beings, particuarly children, comes from healthy cows, is produced and shipped in a cleanly way, is nasteurized to kill any disease germ* is kept cold and covered until used.

J. CARRUTHERS, Tillsonburg. Ont.. Solicitor for the Executors. Scene. By the W.yude To and From California Placentia, Cat March 7, So many of my friends have re quested me to write something about •ny top to California. The Golden State, that I'm sure it wouldn't be wise for use to return to Canada without •iorag so. I win give you all just some of the interesting places I have visited by by the way. On our trip we were blessed with sunshine all the way, so when we reached Colorado Springs we were ready to. receive one of the first one of the first wonders of the west. Here's the region of Pike's Peak, one of the highest peaks of the first Rockies. The Garden of the God’s is Pikes Peak Region's most wonderful Ireaks of nature, with its red and white sandstone colums rising in the air, as high as two hundred feet, in which can be seen forms of rock such! as. The Bear and the Seal. The Lion, three rock formations representing the Three Graces or Faith Hope and Charity, Cathedral Spires, Siamese Twins, (also called Punch and Judy) Balanced Rock and the Kissing Camels. These formations are very plain but the most distinct of all was the Queen of the Gods standing in the central part of the garden seem ingly keeping her eye on all the cur ious creatures under her care especi ally the Kissing Camels. The King oc God of the garden another rock form ation was worshipped by the Indians who formerly lived in this valley. It would be interesting to know that Helen Hunt Jackson, writer of ’Romona' gave the name to these rocks and by request she is buried in the North Cheyenne Canyon which she loved so well. Two miles west of the garden lies Manitou or Healing Water, it is a very pretty town lying peace ably in the mountain valley. It has fourteen wonderful mineral springs, all open and free to the public. Be yond Manitou is Williams Canyon possibly the most picturesque canyon of this region. In this is located the Cave of the Winds, the only known cave in which one must go up rather than go downward. We enter thecave just KMX) feet above the floor of the canyon and reach the entrance by a serpentine road up the side of the mountain. The rocks of this region consist of limestone, easily dissolved and solidified., thus in the cave are found beautiful tinted walls of crys tallized forms and carbonate stalac tites and stalagmites.

In this way John presented the Divine Nature and work of Jesus. John is also respons ible for giving to os the most striking picture of the humanity of Jesus. After telling us that Jesus had accom plished all things foe man's spiritual needs, he records that cry of human need in Jesus himself, expressed in those signifeant words," I thirst." Thus we have a Saviour who know, . our spiritual requirements, and from His own experience, our physical wants as well in connection with this cry of ihyskal anguish. I have asked you to ead Math. 25:31-46. In that passage Jesus identified himself with human- ty*s physical needs before He came to he cross. During the immediate events acceding His crucifixion, Jesus knew vhat it was to be hungry, and thirsty. d naked, and sick, and in prison, and no man ministered unto him. It does mercy and pardon.

After visiting North and South CheyenneCanjon we returned to the hotel voicing the sentiment of many that it would bankrupt the English language to describe nature's product here. Our next stop-over was Salt Lake City. Many were the tourists who listcucd in rapture, to the wonderful one-hour pipe-organ recital in the Mormon tabernacle. Words cannot describe the magnificence of the tabernacle itself. Brigham Young, founder of the Mormon church, surely has given to the world a city worth visiting by any tourists. The Sall desert seems a delusion for, to the passer-by, it appears to be a vast lake nestled in the mountahis and reflecting them in its vast depths. The hang ing Bridge of the Royal Gorge was surely wonderful to behold and makes one realize how man has overcome some of nature’s obstructions. Later we enter Feather River Can yon, so named by the evergreen trees that fringe its brim for 116 miles on both sides of the canyon. The railroad here has only thirty-six tunnels. The flowers and holly mingled with the evergreens and the beautiful river below us made us king to remain and share its freshness forever.

While in San Francijco wc took one of the sight-seeing trips of this region, to Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods. It was so delightful to take the ferry and cross the Golden Gate viewing the blue waters of the Pacific as they broke over the bar at the entrance of the harbour. At Mill Valley we boarded the ’crookedest railroad in the world, swinging back and forth on the Mountain side or winding around on the edge of deep canyons to the summit of Mt. Tamal pais where you get one of the grandest views of the country around and you can see the snow-ca-red Mt. Shasta, three hundred miles away. The down ward trip was amde in an open gravity car to Muir Woods. This grove comprises 426 acres of virgin forest of gigantic Redwood trees averaging 340 feet in height. Another trip was to Indio and Palm Spring*. After traveling through canyons, valleys and over the desert wild we reached Indio situated on the Col- orada Desert about 125 miles southeast of Placentia. Here the people engage in growing the date palm, cotton and small vegetables. The dates are simply delicious. Seemingly they lose some of their flavor on their journey north ward for none ever tasted so at home. Please don't tell this, we enjoyed eating one onion out of an eighty acre field of onions. I wonder if they missed the four onions? There were also many acres of spinach grown in this dis trict. Evidently they believed in supplying food for the nervous system of man's anatomy. Geot care is also taken to conserve al! water brought into the district by irrigation. On our way to Paum Springs wc motored through the prettiest part of the Desert. During February and March the desert blooms forth and gives to man one of the prettiest sights imaginable. The flower* of the desert are both perennial and annual The former include shrub, the Yucco, the numerous cacti, and the Smoke tree sometimes called the Ethereal tree. The annuals disperse here and there aod line the roadside in their loveliness. The evening primrose, living in pure sand, spreads to the light its great creamy white flowers, a fitting emblem of perfectness and purity. The abro- nias, or wild verbenas, with their trail ing hemsphere of pinkish bloom smile at you and challenge you to pick them or leave them to gladden another’s hesart. Here and there are bushes of massy jed. These might be the Desert Orange-scarlet Tulip or the Bcloperone. Both are beautiful The Bolcperone, later in the year, loses in leaves and in appcarnce is a mass of inflammable brush. The sunshine flower in appearance like the daisy, is a brilliant yellow . In many places a : purple blanket seems to be spread as ' ar as eye can reach. This is the desert i J Lupin.Having crossed the desert we reach- | cd Palm Spring* nettled at the eastern base of San Jacinto mountain. Here , is the famous mud spring of the world, j A fine sand seems to be mingled with i the water but as it spread* out over the l>ool, the sand sink* to the bottom and a clear, refreshing. mineral water I is left on the top. You can cither i bathe in the clear water or enjoy the mud bath at the mouth of the spring Six mile* from Palm Spring* is Palin Canyon, vexx wonderful and more suggestive of the Orient than United State*. There are palm* everywhere varying in size from *ix to one hun dred feet in height. For nearly two, miles these tropic groves frill the bed . of the gorge. One strinking feature of ' this region is the freshness of the at mosphere and we can hardly blame the people with millions to burn for build-! ing lovely homes in Palm Springs, a magnificent oasis of Colorado De*ert. Another day was spent attending the Orange Fair at San Bernardino and lunching at Arrow Head Springs. . Arrow Head Springs get* it* name ( from the natural structure of the : mountain there. There is an arid spot ; on the side of the mountain in the i shape of an arrow head. This can be seen very clearly foe many miles. Here are the famous hot springs.

To Cook a Husband A good many husbands are entirely spoiled by mismanagement, in cook ing. and so are not tender and good. Some women keep them constantly in hot water, other freeze them, others put them in a stew, others' roast them, others keep them constantly in a pickle. It- cannot be supposed that mans husbands will be good and tender managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. Be sure and select him your self. as tastes differ. Do not go to the market for them, as those brought to the door arc always best. It is far better to have none than not to learn to cook him properly. It does not make so much difference what you cook him in as how you cook him.

If you had beep living in 1836 and had addressed a letter to the post office at Avon, Illinois, it would have been delivered sometime or other ac cording to the more or less efficient mail service of that time, right to a spot that now is just in front of the garage on the farm of E. L. Hoyt, Master Farmer of Kane county, Illi nois. For years the log cabin which first served as a post office building for that region, was a part of the house in which three generation of Hoyts had lived until the big new house was built 14 year* ago. The old post office served as the dining room. I.ong be fore that, and after the place had passed from the hands of the elder Vanderbilt of New York, who got it from a fellow named Livingston who had gone west with the proceed* of a forged note—some §75.000 worth of money came from that forged note- one of . ----- factory adjoining the old log cabin. Later, when tthc father of E. L. Hoyt bought it, he added an extension to the cast, and converted the whole into a house in which hi* children grew up. E. L. Hoyt wa* 13 year* old when he came with his father and the rest of the family from Harristown, down in Macon county, between Decatur and Springfield. Fifty-seven years ago this boy was born. At a time when there was plenty of work to be done, and not much money with which to hire help, this boy learned to plow with a three mule team when he wa* eight years old. hardly enought to look over the plow handles. And by the time he came to Kane county, he made a regu lar hand on the farm, with the tion of a few month* in the when he would go with the rest big boys of the neighborhood, district school He Worked Hard Four hundred and 20 acres were in that farm, and plenty of dairy ■ cows to milk. "" ’ . ’ * and grew up into young staying right on at the home farm. Four years after the family came to --------„:™. :. . ” . ” ' In 1893, E. L. Hoyt wa* married to, Della Sharp of Elburn, and brought his bride home to live and together they kept the old home place. All their married lite has been spent on this farm, and a real home they have made of it. E. I- Hoyt ha* been a director con tinuously since he wa* 24 years of age. in the school where he gathered bit* of knowledge during the winter month* as one i.’ " „ record of continuous service. Children of the community have been born, (grown up, gone through this school, I married, and their children have gone Ito the same school during the time which this man ha* served as director I of the school. When the community I high school wa* established at Elburn. I he was one of the trustees of the : school. .All of hi s children have been through hi"h school, and one, Harvey the youngest, is now attending the teachers' college at DeKalb. The church at Elburn counts Mr. , and Mrs. Hoyt among its most active members and ardent supporters. The : first day I called at the Hoyt home. 1 ’ caught Mr. Hoyt all dressed up in his ! suspenders and stockingfeet—he was I in the process of dressing—getting ready to go with a committee to help plan and pick oyt interior decorations for the Congregational community church. Belter farming has called to him for leadership. For five years he ha* been on the board of directors of the Kane County Farm Bureau. And during that time, when it ha* been going through some ups and downs, he ha* stuck faithfully to his post, during one of the years serving as president of the farm bureau. Everyone who has been active in county farm bureau work know* that the director or presi dent who docs hi* job a* well a* hi* many friends in Kane county say Mr. Hoyt docs, ha* to put in many-days land nights of public spirited work and | travel many miles on his own gas. . Farm Bureau Director Although the customary time of or barn 100 feet sqaurc, a couple of bi«» silos, 16 feet high; and since cattle have been fattened every year. .About 350 head a year, on the average and that many cattle take a lot of feed. The farm produces all the silage and grain feed necessary, with the ex ception of corn which is bought shelled by the carload, and some bought from neighbors. Feeders arc bought on the St. Paul market and sold in Chicago. Conveni ence in feeding is the main idea in the building arrangements. A few years ago. a fine central feeding building was built. This is a crib with room for 3.000 bushels of car corn and 7,000 bushels of grain, equipped with ele vator, dump, feed grinder, and every thing for making the work of getting the feed ready for the cattle easier. Hogs, of course, arc raised and bought to follow the cattle. And the treat quantities of manure produced l»y hundreds of cattle on feed, tramp ing under foot all the straw raised on drained acres of the Hoyt farm, add* bushels to the yield* of corn, wheat . ' i these acre*. Limestone has been added to the soil so that clovers and alfalfa do well, and on some of the wheat land rock phosphate has been spread.

J. HOUSE sale, elec- machines, sight, is j Altnougn mt sen-ice for a director of the farm bu reau in Kane county was up for him this vear. the members insisted upon re-electing him to serve as director. The farm which his father bought in 1884 for $28 an acre, had 420 acres in it. While his father lived, E. L. and his brother Walter farmed it together. Another house was built for Walter and his family and the brothers work ed the place. Then, after the death of the father, additional land to the west was bought, and Walter moved to that while E. L. kept 320 acre* of the home farm. Two small buildings, and a part of the old dairy barn, now converted into a cattle feeding, barn and parts of the old house are all that are left of the original building which were on the place when it came into the pos session of the present owner. The new house is a fine, square frame house, set among fine oak trees, and facing the lane which leads through the 30 acre* of woods pasture to the main road to the north, and winds, and wind* past the front of the house, striking another well-graveled road to the west. The homestead is located practically to the centre of the big farm. Over this home, Mrs. Hoyt presides, and her qualifications as a home maker arc evident from the kitchen to the homey front room which take* the old width of the house.It is a beautiful home—and in it Mrs. Hoyt find* her labors lightened by every electrical convenience that modern science and manufacturers have devised for lightening the burden of housework on the farm. Howard Hoyt—all the Hoyt children have namese beginning in _H—Howard, Helen and Harvey—Howard, is a part ner with hi* father on the farm. With hi* wife and two children he live* in a fine comfortable home along the lane through the farm. And together this father and son do a masterly job of farming. Both of these men are builders—and love good building? and equipment. . Up until about ten year* ago, there was a big herd of dairy cow* on the farm, but Mr. Hoyt felt that the boy* would be more content to stay with him on the farm if the dairy was closed out and cattle feeding made the main business enterprise. So they sold off the old dairy herd, con verted the old dairy barn into a big cattle feeding plant 140 feet long and 75 feet wide, with all the feeding of silage, cottonseed, and hay done on the • inside—and plenty of mow room for much straw, too. I Then they built another cattle shed There were 5,570 accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board during the month of February. These included 82 death cases. The recent disaster at Timmins was in part re sponsible for the unusually large num ber of death cases, there having been 39 fatalities in the Hollinger fire. The total number of accidents reported was about SOO more than in the previous month of January. The benefits awarded in February totalled $552,931, which is somewhat lower than the fig ures for January, when $569,775.50 was awarded Medical aid in February to talled §93.867.95 which is a little higher than the §91,445.40 paid for medical aid in January. Commenting on these figures R. B. Morley. General Manager of the In dustrial Accident Prevention Associ ations, points out that a large number of minor accidents arc being reported. The figures compiled by the Work men's Compensation Board over the past several years indicate that there na» been a steady decrease in the per centage of mechanical accidents. In the last two years about 20 per cent, of the accidents reported have involved contact with machinery. It is a fact, while mechanical accidents arc being reduced in number, severity is fre quently in evidence. Recent Reports received by the Industrial .Accident Prevention Associations indicate a number of burns from hot metal or from electric wiring. Two fatalities have been reported since the first of the year by electrocution and a number of metal burns. Street and highway accidents continue in the reports made to the Compensation Board, and as many of these mean the death of the driver, the accident prevention associ ations arc encouraging other forms of activity that will make for a reduction of this form of accident. Two colored gentlemen who had just reduced the population in a farmer's hen rpost were making a get-away “Laws, Mose," gasped Sam, “why you s’posc them flic* follows us so close ?" “Keep gallopin’, said Mose. “Them ain't flies.

It will bc remembered that His Royal Highness asked the Bink to un dertake for him the distribution of Canadian-grown peony plants to His Excellency the Governor General, the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, the Lieutenant-Governors and Premiers of the Provinces; also to all cities, towns and incorporated villages throughout Canada. The distribution was made through the branches of the Bank with the co-operation and assistance of His Majesty's Mails, and the hundreds of letters received from mayors and other public officials showed how greatly the Royal gift was appreciated. These letters, con veying the thanks of the various com munities and expressing loyalty and devotion, were bound in a handsome portfolio and transmitted by the Bank of Montreal to Vice-Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey, Comtroller of the Prince of Wales's Household. The fol lowing letter from Sir Vincent Mere dith. Bart., to the Comptroller, dated from the Head Office, Bank of Mon treal.

Heaven seemed smiling on the bright face of the earth. There was plenty of dew upon the heather; it glittered on the long blades of grass, and shone upon the green leaves: and before long the fair young face was bathed injt. An artist meeting Hilda then would have sketched her and called his pic ture “The May Morning." She looked just as fair and bright; the violet eyes were clear and lustrous; the beauti ful face tinged with the loveliest color, and the golden hair waving over her graceful neck and shoulders. "I will walk home through woods," thought Hilda. The way was long and pleasant, and she lingered in the deep shades watch ing with loving eyes the wild flowers that grew around the tall trees; watching the bees, which could never decided whether cowslips, bluebells or primroses, were the most delicious and sweet; forgetting as the warm sunny hours rolled on, that Lady Hut ton would lie waiting for her. and that the time for breakfast had long passed. While looking at the flowers some prettv fantastic lines she had read came into her mind: My own bluebell, my pretty bluebell. 1 have come from the bower where the roses dwell: My wings you view bright hue.And, oh I never doubt true blue." "What woqjs I" Mid . _ laughingly, as she bent over the blue bells, “what words to put on a butter fly’s lips?" Then in her rich, musical voice, she began to sing them. The sweet voice rose high in the clear morning air, until one could have fan cied the trees, and flowers, and wind listened in hushed silence. Hilda thought she was quite alone, tinging, as she gathered the pretty bluebells; but down the broadwood path there came a young and handsome man. He stood (or a few minutes silently watching the beautiful golden haired girl, doubting whether the figure before him was real. Turning suddenly Hilda mw himjnd a rush of color dyed her fair face crimson. He advanced toward her, holding his hat in his hand bowing reverentially as though she were a princess. "I beg you to forgive me if 1 alarm ed you.” he said. “1 have lost my way in the wood', and can not find the l>ath to the high-road. Will you have the kindness to point it out to me?" “The one to the right.” replied Hilda, railing her eyes to the handsomest and noblest face she liad ever seen. Then he should have bowed and left her, and she should have walked away, never once looking behind; but the sun shone and the birds Mng. They were both young, she beautiful and fair as the morning; and instead of leaving her he spoke again."These are bouny woods." he said, "1 have not seen fairer in all Scotland. They belong the the Brynmar estate, I nippose?" Hilda bowed, cd her powers this handsome he come from? "You arc losing your bluebells," he Mid. gallantly. He stooped and gather ing them together again, offered them t<> her. "Those were pretty words I heard you singing," he continued; “they are quite new to me. May I ask whose they are?" Hilda forgot her shyness then, and told him that she had read them the day before. a:id could not forget them. Hit eyes were riveted on her beautiful face, his ears were charmed by the sound of her voice; he could have stood there, he thought, forever. Was ever picture so fair? In the soft light that fell through the green foliage, her fair face and golden hair shone brightly. He never forgot her as she stood then, with shy, drooping eyes, and the bluebells in her pretty white hands. He lingered until he knew he ought to go. "Will you give me one of those flowers?" he said, touching the blue bells; “just as a little memento of the most pleasant morning I ever spent, and the most beautiful picture I------ saw—only one; I beg you will refuse." Half-smiling, half-coyly, she out a single flower, and offered him His face flushed as he took it from her. Other words trembled upon his lips. He longed to tell her how beautiful, how fair and modest she was and tliat he could never forget her; he longed to ask her her name, where she dwelt, and why she was alone in the shades of Brynmar woods. But he did none of these things—he bowed of that the my heart'i young girl. She had not recovcr- of speech. Who war stranger?

Something new and beautiful came into her thoughts by day, and in her dreams by night. She did not know why the face she had seen in Brynmar woods haunted her; why the sound of that voice never left her ears; or why each word he had spoken lingered in her heart. In all her life she had seen nothing like this stranger. Few gentle men ever came to the Halt Lady Hutton's lawyer was one. a little man. who wore a black wig; Dr. Greyling was another, aod the good minister was a Burd. They were all old. and said but little to her. This handsome strangrt* had looked at her with a strange light in his dark eyes: He had stood before her, the wind lifting the masses of d|rk hair from his brow, and he had bowed lowly and reverenti ally, as though she were a queen and he her knight. Dr. Greyling and the minister never did that. Why was the morning so pleasant to him? What was the picture he thought so beauti ful? fn her dreams and fancies he look the principal part; and she could better understand now what had puzzled her before. If ever in years to come some one was to care for her, she hoped he would have the Mme face and Mme voice as the stranger. Hilda did not know that, on this May morning, while she sung over the bluebells, and laughqd at the butter fly, the first link was forged in a chain lhat was to bind her for life; for the bonny woods of Brynmar were fatal to her, as they had been to her beauti ful young mother, who years, years ago, had learned there her first and only lesson in Love.

The two gentlemen were quite alone in what appeared to be the smoking- room of Lord Bayneham's London house. It was a large and lofty apart ment well furnished with divans, easy chairs, lounges, and sofas, whereon the lords of creation could smoke at ease.Bertie Carlyon lounged upon a couch drawn near to the window. He was smoking industriously. Lord Bayne ham had tried a meerschaum that fail ed to please him. and he took up a cigar with no better result.

To shorten my story, I Deed only tel! you that one delicious morning I wandered into the very heart of the bonny woods of Brynmar I lost the path, and was getting bewildered, when ail at once the richest and most musical voice 1 ever heard rose, dear and bell-like, on the morning air.

CHAPTER VI The Baynehams, of Castle Bayne ham, were a noble and ancient family. The earldom dated as far back as__the reign of the “Merry Monarch.** bert Bayneham had been one favorites, and he delighted to him. He created him Earl of ham and Baron of Hulsmeer. Hulbert, the first earl, built__,... ham Castle, and the state apartment is still shown where the king slept when he visited his friend. From Hulbert the line of succession was unbroken—son succeeded father, and each , one added some new luster to the name. Hildebrand, the third earl, was one of England's grandest warriors. Stephen, his grandson, was an eminent statesman; his influence was great, and he used it well The father of the present earl was remark able for nothing Mve having married one of the most beautiful and imper ious women in England—Lady Blanche Delamere- She was descend ed from an illustration but some what decayed family. They had title, rank, position, and influenc.e but very ffttle money, and when Lord Bayne ham proposed to the daughter of the house, every one considered it an ex cellent match. No one ever asked what Lady Banche thought herself. She had beauty and dignity, and her union with Lord Bayneham gave her everything else; and for many years the beautiful and imperious Countess of Bayneham was one of the most courted and popular women of the She had a younger sister, who, un like the brilliant countess, married for love; she united her fate with that of an almost penniless captain, Gerald Earle. Fortune, however. <avored them, for before Gerald and his young wife began to feel the evils of poverty, a large fortune was bequeathed to him by a distant relative. Gerald Earle died abroad, and his delicate wife did not long survive him. She had left her only child, Barbara, to the care of the countess of Bayneham. Her trust was nobly fulfilled; Barbara Earle was treated in every way like one of Lady Bayneham's own children. Her large fortune accumulated, and when she reached her eighteenth year she found herself one of the wealthiest heiressses in England. The Countess of Bayneham had one fixed idea—it was thaVher son should marry Barbara Earle.' She was deeply attached to the young girl, over whose childhood and youth she had watched so well. Both children were brought up with the Mine idea, but nothing definite was ever Mid to them. Lady Bayneham. foolishly enough, would speak of the time when Barbara would be Claude's wife. Every day, in fifty different ways/it was brought be fore them. Claude took it as a matter of course. Barbara loved her cousin; she had no thought, no happiness, no wish away from him. When Claude went to college he never returned without a present for his intended little wife. One speech of his was moit characteristic. Talking one day at school in the midst of a group of boy., who where discussing their future, he Mid: “1 shall never have to trouble myself with love-making; 1 am going to marry my cousin Barbara, you know. He certainly never did trouble him self with love-making. He was always kind and gentle to Barbara, but the men of his race had ever been chival rous. He paid her every attention; never neglecting her double claim as cousin and fiancee. He sought to an ticipate her wishes, to consult her tastes, and obey her last word; but there the matter ended. If she were going away for six months, he did not miss her; his voice never trembled when he spoke to her. He new noth ing of the height of love, or depth of sorrow; he knew nothing mvc a quiet, calm affection that had grown with him from his childhood. He had yet to learn what it was to love. His father died, and Claude became the Earle of Bayneham, Perhaps no one began life under fairer auspices: he was young, handsome, clever, and highly accomplished. Nature and fortune had both been kind to him. He owned one of the proudest names and the finest estates in England The long and illustrious line of ancestors had each added a laurel to the crown of the Baynehams. Everything and everyone smiled upon him. He was one of the happiest men until that May morning came and brought him to the woods of Brynmar. When Claude had been two years Lord.of Bayneham Castle, his mother told him, in very plain words, she thought it time he should marry. •A man's position."

"1 fear I am very stupid.” he said. You paint them better than pretty compliment." said penitently; “but you are so sensible. Barbara, you know what I mean with out ray talking nonsense.

It i* now March," she continued. if wc arrange the wedding for next May. that will meet all our wishes.' Foe once Lady Bayneham was too hasty. Bayneham Castle would re quire alterations; many of the rooms were to be refurnished. There was much to be done, lawyers, milliners, and a host of other pcopc, were con sulted. Then it was agreed that the wedding should take place in the August of the year following. But for that • ostponement this story would never have been written. In May Lord Bayncham went to Scotland; and there, in the bonny green woods of Brvnmar. he met his fate. He returned home an altered man. His previous life seemed Io have been one tong,calm, unbroken drcam. He was awakened now. and the dream had ended. The realities of life had begun for him. He had learned on that bright May mo ning a lesson that Barbara Earle had never taught him—how to love. He «aw the preparations continued for his marriage, and made no comment. Whatever he might think or suffer, he was a gentleman, a tnan of honor, who would ‘corn to break a promise, and die rather than fail when honor badc him persevere. CHAPTER VII The world generally did not call Barbara Earle a beautiful girl The great charm of her face was the soul (hat shone there. Her eyes wen mag nificent. dark, dreamy, full of light and thought. She had sweet, sensitive lips, perfect in shape and color. People passed her by at first, considering her almost plain; at a second interview they would like her better. Then her face would grow upon them, until they would end by declaring that no other girl was half so beautiful as Barbara Earle. It was the beautiful, noble soul that gave the great charm to her eloquent, spiritual face. In re pose, it was calm ami serene; but lighter up. as noble thought and noble words could light it, it was magnifi cent. She gave one the impressson of be ing w hat is commonly called "all soul " Her tall, graceful figure combined ease and dignity.

Start richt away—to-day__ more kind and winning: no one more dignified and reserved than Barbara Earle. She was not proud or haughty; no mean word or mean action ever escaped her. She was a true, noble woman, crowned with richer gifts than the mere outer ones of color and prettincss—a woman to inspire a man with a love of noble deeds, to teach him the higher and holier lessons of life; and withal, she had that nameless charm, that well-bred refined, elegant manner, that makes every woman beautiful to whom it is given. Lovers in plenty sighed for Barbara Earle: she had no thought save for Lord Bayncham. 1t was characteristic of her that all who loved her were the better and more noble for it. No sullen resentment, no moody silence and bitter dislike ever followed her rejectment of an admirer; and she re jected many before her engagement to Lord Bayncham was made public. Tho»e who loved her best, and laid all they had to offer at her feet, left her presence, disappointed it is true, but bearing with them good and noble resolves. The chances arc that if Lord Bayncham had met Miss Earle in society he would have been dazzled and charmed. Having from his very childhood associate with her. all her noble and grand qualities seemed more habit to him. He was accustomed to her brilliant wit and quick repartee, io her generous and spirited defense of the weak and the absent, to her scorn of all things vulgar and mean, to her amiable temper and self-sacrificing disposition; all these were part and Eel of Barbara. They never struck ; he admired her. esteemed her, loved her, in a quiet, calm kind of way, and had “no objection" to making her his wife next spring.It was far different with Barbara; with all the strength of her noble and constant nature, she loved the hand some, clever young cousin whose wife she was to be.

Aatottrop Safety Rasor Co, Lladted, Toronto thought him perfect, thought him superior to any other man—loved him as only such women can, with a grand, noble love; but there were times when she felt half'puzzled as to his feelings towards her. He was all kindness: but he said so little when he spoke of the future; it was in a quiet, matter- of-fact way. as of something that must be. Yet she knew that he cared for no .one else; and Barbara .Earle comforted herself by thinging that he was not of a demonstrative nature. When he returned from Scotland she found him changed in every re spect. He had lost that gay Bow of spirits that once never failed. He look ed like a great man whose aim and Curpose in life were ended. He was ind to her, but indifferent to every thing in the wide world. Nothing seemed to interest or amuse him. Even Lady Bayncham noticed and wondered at the change that had come over her son. One day Claude was unusually busy; his lawyer was at Bayncham, and many business affairs were on the tapis. The steward was waiting, and an important paper was mislaid. Lady Bayneham was in the drawing-room with visitors, so that Claude could not ask for help from her. In his perplex ity he sought for Miss Earle. “Barbara." he Mid. "like most people who undAtakc to do three things at once. I am making a terrible mess of it. will you help me? I have tost a paper—the plan for those new houses at Greystokc. Will you go to my study and look for it? The keys lie upon my writing-table." Barbara gladly hastened to comply with his wish. Lord Bayneham’s study was a room sacred from all intrusion. It was very rarely that anyone obtain ed admission there. It was a pretty little apartment, overlooking the park. Miss Earle searched for the tost plan in every available place; she went to a bureau where her cousin kept many private papers; there was no trace of it. One drawer smaller than the rest drew her attention; she opened it. and several papers fell out. One was the tost plan, another a picture that had been folded in paper. Barbara looked at it with surprise; she saw it was a sketch taken by her cousin; she recognized his style, and his initials were under neath it. It was a simple but beauti ful subject, and the artist had done full justice to it. A young girl stand ing beneath the shade of large, spread ing trees, the sunbeams falling on her golden hair. Her face, so wonderously lovely, was bent over some bluebells that she carried in her little white hands; anything so fresh, so fair, so delicately beautiful as that face, Bar bara had never seen. It was quite strange to Barbara; but who could it be? With a woman’s keen eyes she noted the details of the dress. The original of the picture was evi dently a lady; who could she be? and why had Claude locked up what was certainly one of his best produc tions. He was too busy just then for her to mention it. He thanked her gratefully for the trouble she had taken, but Barbara Earle was ill at ease.That evening, when dinner was over and Claude rejoined the ladies, Bar bara went to the table where he stood, looking over some beautiful engrav ings that had just arrived. "Claude." she Mid, gravely, "when I opened tbe small drawer of your bureau this morning, a picture fell out of it, one of yout— painting, 1 believe. Whose face is it? I never saw one half so beautiful before." She was watching him keenly, and saw a slight pallor on his face. "1 can not tell you whose face it is," he replied; "it is a picture 1 saw on my travels, and thought it so beautiful that 1 could not refrain from trying to re produce it." “You have succeeded well," Mid Miss Earle. He made some half indifferent reply and turned away. Barbara Earle’s eyes followed him with a ud. wistful look What had changed him so? Lord Bayneham went to his study. He took the picture from the drawer, and. folding it in many papers, locked "it safely away. He was kinder than usual to Barbara that evening .as though he would make amends for some involuntary wrong. The Countess of Bayncham ch; her mind once more. .'.................. upon dissuading her son from going to London for the season until after he was married; but she looked upon it in a different light now. His engagement to Barbara Earle was known publicly. Perhaps, after all, it would be better to make a brilliant appearance in London, and then at the end of the season have a brilliant marriage. She decided it was to be so. and early in May the young earl left Castle Bayneham for his town house, which was an almost palatial mansion in Grosvenor Square. The season opened brilliantly. Miss Earle, the niece of the Countess of Bayneham. was much admired. But what puzzled both ladies was that Claude took little or no interest in any of the gaycties that surrounded them. Lord Bayneham was fortunate in one thing—he met in London his oldest and dearest college friend, Bertie Carlyon, life second son of Sir Herbert Carlyon. of Durham Park, one of the kindliest and noblest of men, unfortunate, as he himself declared, in everything, love and finance above all other things; but so kind, so genial, so true, no one could help loving him. Bertie had his secret too; from the first moment he saw Barbara Earle he loved her. He seemed almost by in stinct- to understand the woman's grand, noble soul He never mentioned his love; of what avail could it have been, when the girl who had so uncon sciously won his heart was the affianced wife of his best friend. So Bertie Carlyon. as many another nun before him had done, shut up his love in the silence and secrecy of his own heart. He avoided seeing Barbara as much as possible; but he was a great favorite with the stately countess. She admired him, and encouraged his visits to the house. So it happened that not one day passed without bringing Bertie Carlyon to Grosvenor Square."I hear wonders of a young lady who is to be presented at the next drawing room," said Bertie Carlyon, onc»day, to the countess. "Who is it?" asked Lady Bayneham. “I can give your ladyship every infor mation," replied Mr. Carlyon. "We younger sons arc in a state of fervent rejoicing. She is to be presented by Lady Hutton, the daughter and heiress Ornamental Maplei No less than 4en varieties of the maple tree have been tested on the ornamental grounds of the Experi mental Farm at Ottawa. These in clude the Amur maple, the Manitoba maple, or Box Elder, the Black maple, the Striped maple, the Norway, the Schwedlcr. Red, Silver. Sugar, and Tartarian. This group alone provides a wide range of adaptibility for orna mental or shade tree use. In the re cency issued Bulletin No. 89 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, entitled "Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and Woody Climbers." these maples are carefully described asare seorse of other trees and shrubs that have vary ing qualifications for planting at Canadian homes. The Amur maple is described as resembling a shrub more than a tree as it reaches only about 25 feet in height. One of the charms of this variety is that the leaves, which are relatively small, always turn red in the autumn. The Box Elder or Manitoba maple, al though it is quite a favorite tree for the North-western provinces, is not as suitable for Eastern Canada as most of the other varieties. The Black maple has the peculiarity of haring downy, dull green leaves that turn a pleasing yellow shade in the autumn. The striped maple is interest ing because of the white stripes that appear on its green bark. It is Mid to be particularity adaptable when as sociated with other trees rather than as an individual specimen in the open. The Norway maple is credited with the divadvantage of being lowheaded with bad crotches, making it less de sirable than the sugar maple, for in stance, as an ornamental tree. The Schwedlcr. which in 35 years has reached a height of 44 feet and a spread of 40 feet, presents a particu larly striking appearance in the early part of the season when the leave* lake on a delightful mahogany or purplish shade. The Red n^aple, not unlike the sugar maple in many respects, is particularity well suited for low ground were the sugar maple may not succeed. The Silver maple i* a fast grower. In 37 years from the time it was set out. specimens at Ottawa have reached 66 feet in height with a spread of 56 feet. It is one of the hardiest of Canadian maples and is recom mended for the colder parts of Canada. L Her face, so wonderously The »««»’’ maple is regarded as the .............. best all-round ornamental tree hardy at Ottawa. The Tartarian maple has deeply cut leaves, is very hardy, and it* leaves lake on a high color on ripening. Thi* bulletin, written by Mr. W. T.

New Smaller Money 1* Issued in The U. S. Washington, D. G, March 2—The people of this country probably will receive their new and smaller paper currency about the end of this year. Assistant Secretary Mills informed a house sub-committec during hearings on the department's appropriations. The new currency will save the tax payers more than $1,000,0)0 a year when it is in complete circulation, he asserted in d escribing that the smaller notes will be more durable and con- ventient. Already the proposed paper money isc stimated to run into a sav ing of $787X100 for the next year s allot ment for currency printing, he de clared. Another advantage, he said, will be that the new money will be more difficult foe the counterfeiter to In the new currency the treasury notes will be issued first and then will follow in order the federal reserve and and the national bank notes. The treasury plans to have a three months reserve in one dollar bills, and a six months reserve in the large denomina tions before issuing the money. A travelling man tels of an incident he observed in one of the towns of Georgia. He was seated in the waiting room when a typical negro of the backwoods type appeared at the ticket window and asked the agent for a ticket to Macon. Straight or return?" asked the agent "Straight or return?" repeated SamBo. "Yes," continued the agent, “a straight ticket will take you to Macon only, and a return ticket will bring you back here." The negro understood at once. “Man," he shouted, "how come yo' think 1 wants a return ticket when I'* already hcah?” It is DOW admitted by the U. press that the other countries put the Pan in Pan-Amercian, and handed it to Unde Sam. -BUICK’1928 SOUTH OXFORD MOTOR SALES TILLSONBURG, ONTARIO Whan Battar Aasswihil*. sr.

GEORGE CLARK TAILOR AND CLOTHIER long, narrow, pleated and triangular effects, gloves and hand-bags that al ways matched, and a chic hat com pleted the ensemble. .The display of spring hats was an interesting feature of the style show. Close fitting shapes predominated and each had a tinge of dignity that was distinctly youthful and smart. Among the season's newest were the small flower hats of violets, small gay flowers and pansies. Larger hats were shown with painted and applique ef fects on crown and brims. Among the youngest models were wee Dorothy Norman and Elsie Tres- tain, who, with Betty McNivcn and Dortten Teeter, displayed in a fitting way the kiddies* garments and millin- The dresses shown in most cases blended with the lining of the coat, sug gesting the style trend tn. the popular ensemble. It was noticeable that any individual customer could select a coat with dress to so blend in style and color as to make a complete ensemble. Judging from the number displayed, scarf coats will lead, with cape coats a close follower, but the ever popular tailored coat • had its usual prominent place. Many of these were kasha lined and trimmed.There was an extensive showing of printed crepe dresses in two pieces and bolero effect, depicting the popular bright colors in Indian, Chinese and American prints. Many of these, too, displayed the new triangular scarf with hat to match print. There was an elaborate display of special occasion frocks of taffeta, flat crepe and georgettes. These were daintily trimmed with self pleatings, tiers, drapes and cascades, and many of them displayed the uneven hem line. This display was followed by the closing numbers, each in Quick succes sion displaying dainty fabrics fashioned into fetching style creations, illustrat ing the mode for kiddies, junior miss, the young woman, and matron, which reached a climax in tha bridal scene as a closing number, with Miss Eva Cran dall acting as bride, who wore a hand some French taffeta frock in basoue effect with deep scolloped hem, and fin ished with large bow and drape at side, and was lavishly trimmed with silver embroidery. Her tulk veil was appli- qued and embroidered with silk, and caught at the back with pearl coronet and orange blossoms. Her bouquet was pink and white carnations. At the opening it was announced that every coat shown was a Northway- made garment, and about ninety per cent, of the dresses were from the Northway factory also. The models, all of whom were local girls, were as follows: Miss Pearl Haley. Miss Lillian Rogers, Miss Eva Crandall. Miss Lois Terk. Miss Violet Dennis. Miss Jean Langley, Miss Geor gia Coyle. Mrs. Chas. Jackson and Mrs. Hurshel Wilkinson. The kiddies were Miss Dorleen Teeter, who gave delight ful readings, and Miss Betty McNiven, little Miss Dorothy Norman, and Miss Elsie Trestain. who gave a pleasing little song. The management explained to The News that although the progam ran fully two and a half hours, there were a great many garments that had to be withdrawn, there not being time to demonstrate them.

Darrow were appointed a committee to meet the Women's Institute and I.O. D.E, in regard to special prizes donat ed by these respective societies. A unanimous resolution was passed that tag days were not favored on the exhibition grounds. The directors will continue their policy of the past few years, in spending a percentage of the receipts in improving grounds and buildings. Considerable' work has al ready been accomplished on levelling the grounds, and new fences will be built this summer- The chairman of each committee was requested to meet before next regular meeting and have all proposed changes in the prize lists ready for confirmation and discussion by the Board. A large increase in membership was recorded to_1927 and the directors are very desirous of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the society by a record membership and attendance.Another important step was taken in which the public win benefit to a large extent. A book of four tickets for a dollar good for either afternoon or evening addmittancc at the gate, will be issued and sold in advance, also membership tickets will be issued to a man and wife for the price of one dollar so as to iave some confusion experienced in the past in having only the one ticket for both. Roy A. Dar row was appointed to look after sale of advance tickets.The directors now happily realize that this fair is recognized as one of the best and most largely attended of any fair of its size in Western Ontario, and they would welcome suggestions from any source that would assist in making the fair an increasing success from year to year. A hearty vote of thtanks was passed in favor of R. B. Moulton for the use of the room. Since the meeting a letter has been received from Frank C Johnson, conductor of the Dufferin Rifles Band, acknowledging the gagement, and offering to boost sonburg fair to the limit.

The Man Who Keeps His Word The most important man today is the man who keeps his word.” These arc the words of a successful man whose work is well known. “Never in the history of the world has a man's word proved so effective as it does now," he continued. "There is nothing so harrassing as to have a man agree to do something for you and then 'fall down' on it. There is nothing so responsible for the troubles of every day ih the fellow who fails to deliver what he has agreed to do by word or deed. ''Whenever I hire men, the first thing I try to find out about them is whether they live up to their contract —that is to say. whether they really do what they say they will do. To me it is the biggest asset a man can have. “I would much prefer a beginner who keeps his word to me at any cost rather than one of brains who is care less about his promises. Many people are prone to prate about what they can do. and promise to do it. yet never do it. “If this human trait would be over come. everything would go smoother lot; everybody. 1 wish it could be im pressed on every person to perform his part of an agreement. The rest would be easy." There is wisdom in thi* man's words. The great fault that is found with workers to day is in ability of unwillingness to fulfil their part of a contract. They will squirm every way to make themselves blame less of bad results, but when it is all sifted down it i* because they have failed to do somclthing they have agreed to do.—Sophie Irene Loeb.

Magnesia Best for Your Indigestion Most people who suffer, either occa sionally or chronically from gas, sour ness and indigestion, have now discon tinued disagreeable diets, patent foods ‘'and the use of harmful drug*, stomach tonics, medicines and artificial diges tants. and instead, following the advice so often given in these columns, lake a teaspoonful or four tablets of Bisurat- cd Magnesia in a little water after meals with the result that their stomach no longer troubles them, they arc able to cat as they please and they enjoy much better health. Those who use Bisurated Magnesia never dread the approach of meal time because they know this wonderful anti-acid and food corrective, which can be obtained from any good drug store, will instantly neutralize the stomach acidity, sweeten the stomach, prevent food fermentation and make digestion easy. Try this plan yourself, but be certain to get Bisurated Magnesia especially prepared for stomach use.
