At a few minutes past eight it was announced from the stage that all was in readiness for the opening. As the music began the curtain rolled up ex­ posing a stage setting that demonstrat­ ed a charm of designing and richness of color effects that added much to the beauty of the evening's performance. The back stage curtain was a rich I lain brown, while the side wings were rown velour and tapestry. In the cen­ tre of the back curtain was placed a Grecian archway with side posts and top done in ivory with trailing fern and gold leaves and flower decoration. This archway formed the front of an ele­ vated stage entrance with rear ap­ proaches for the models, making it al­ lway* possible for a model to be in evi­dence in the archway while the previ­ ous model was walking on the stage, (which was reached from the entrance Elevated stage by several steps richly larpeted. i At the rise of the curtain.

In a place which has had good traditions, the people say they have never done things in a stingy or cheap manner, and they ob­ ject when anything appears to be be­ low their old record. When you get that feeling in a town, and we have very much of it in Kingsville, it oper­ ates against any condition that is be­ low par. People say it is inconsistent with their ideals and habits, and they will give their money and time to rem­ edy or improve such condition*.

ONT. of TBtoatarg W«mm** larftaU The farmers of Ontario have been looking with rather envious eyes upon the success of the wheat pools which have operated so successfully in the prairie province* for several years. This has led to steps which are now be­ ing taken to organise a grain pool for Ontario. Thousands of farmers in southwestern Ontario, after frank and free discussion of the co-operative pool system of masketing grain crops, have already accepted it. Interesting experi­ ments of the Manitoba Wheat Pool and it* surprising success, were re­ counted and detailed by Mr. Burnell, who talked at a public meeting as a farmer to farmers At first the mem­ ber* of the regular grain trade werq inclined to laugh at their effort* to or­ ganize. In a short time, however, they were taken seriously, for many thous­ ands of farmer* had signed < contract to deliver to the pool all their grain for five year*. It was pointed out that the present mend>er*hip is 1J8.OX). and that last season 2I3.DW.0W bushels of grain were handled by the pool* in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. Fifty-two per cent, of the wheat crop went through the pools. The result was that control of export grain has now passed out of the hands of three export companies that formerly con­ trolled it. He positively *laled that the operation of the pool* bad meant st least 25 cent* a bushel more for the far­ mer on hi* wheat than he would have received had there been no pool, and Iam one of 7 DominionLife reprmtaUve*who played a mc« part in helping Cawnn* protect themMlve* t»he extent cd One Hundrv Million, ot life inauraa* He’ll Get Along lotical J n<ur. out (h. and^owyou may b.

Swung low over the wheels, these cars are so nicely balanced that smooth, effortless riding is possible at any speed up to 50 miles and more per hour. Full balloon cord tires; horn button, spark and throttle control at the centre of the steering wheel; regulators for all side windows; door locks, sun visor, windshield wiper, cowl ventilation, rear view mirror and transmission lock; stop light on all models are items of equipment which indicate the quality of the appointments of these fine bodies. Scores of such points reflect the standardized quality which has been built into the Chrysler “50.' When you see this car you will realize immediately a distinct contrast in favor of the Chrysler “60” when compared with other low priced cars. This new Chrysler will carry you fleetly over even rough and rutted roads at 25, 30 or even more miles per hour. Such riding case is rare in a car of the size and price of the new Chrysler “50." Ease of handling has been built into the new Chrysler “60" to make it steer and brake with the char­ acteristic Chrysler swift ease and certainty. Women will enjoy driving this newest Chrysler. Chrysler durability and long life are built into the new Chrysler "50” in keeping with the high standards of performance required of all Chryslers by their owners. The Chrysler "50" motor the smoothest four-cylinder power plant you have ever driven. The special spring mounting at the front of the engine developed by Chrysler engineers and a special impulse neutralizer emphasize this smoothness. An almost straight line drive means greater power delivered to the rear wheels. Full pressure oil feed to all bearings. Tlie result of all these developments it a pickup of 5 to 25 miles in 8 seconds, a maximum speed oi better than 50 miles an hour; an economy 30 miles to the gallon, that is (ar thriftier than cars of sim­ ilar size and performance can give you. See this new Chrysler. Ride in it or drive it under any conditions. Subject it to the severest ot test* Then you will be convinced that here at last is the comfort and performance for which you have always wished at a price you can well afford to pay.

Scott To be fully occupied in any honest pursuit of life is just, noble and mighty, but the man or woman of eligible age is in x bad plight who has no Occupa­ tion. If they are poor, want is ever and anon gripping them; if they are rich, listlessness is a more severe toe- mentor than w.nt. Anyone unoccupied can never be happy; nor can anyone who is improperly occupied. ! We have battalions of idlers among .us: the severest of them are called gentlemen idlers; that is, those of to­day who pursue no useful occupation, and sponge their way, enjoying the luxuries of life by living off the hard earnings or off stealth from others. They are the cancers of the community -pseudo-patterns of bipeds and leeches on the body politic. Any man or woman with no business, nothing to do, is an absolute pest to society. They arc thieves, stealing that which is not theirs; beggars eat­ ing food they have not earned; drones wasting the fruits of others* labor; lecherous, kindless villains sucking the blood of others; evildoers, teachers of idleness and dishonest living; hypo­ crites, shining in stolen and false col­ ors ; vampires, eating out the life of the I community.

We are glad of Thy promise to make us lie down in green pastures, and lead us beside the still waters. Grant us peace amidst the distracting tumult of life. Strengthen us for the efficient performance of our tasks, and for the cheerful bearing of our burdens. If it be our lot to be laid aside from active participation in life’s work, help us to be patient, and to say with our Lord Jesus Christ, not my will but Thine be done.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 17: "And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely." Closely associated with the need of proper food as an essential to growth, is the necessity for water. Water com­prises the greater part of the bulk of the body. As this water becomes elim­ inated, the body makes insistent de­ mands for its replacement, and thus men and women, instead of being out­ casts of. society with blighted hopes, blasted characters and devoid of good prospects. Here, let me give this maxim, which I pray all may hefd and be wise. It is this: “A life lull of constant occupation is the only safe and happy one” But not all, thank God, are like these; there are many more battalions who stove for themselves, to do something worthy I and worthy of themselves, by some honest occupation. They have taken the stimulant of energy, vital force, am­ bition. to kick for the goal of their goal, “Success."When these two objects, business and character, as the great end ot life, are squarely before youth, what then? They must obtain those objects. W ill good wishes or prayers alone bring them into their hands? No, by no meant. They must work as welt as wish; labor as well as pray. Their hands must be as stout as their hearts, and their arms as strong as their heads —purpose must always follow action. The choosing of an occupation is no small thing. Great mistakes arc made and often worthy pursuits are left. If we choose to represent the various parts of life, ’tis by holes made in a table top. of different shapes, namely: some round, some triangular, some square and some oblong; and persons acting these parts, by bits of wood of similar shapes, we shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong one into the triangular, while the square person has squeezed himself into the round hole."There was no need of spurs to the little Handel or the boy Bach to study music, when the one steals midnight in­ terviews with a smuggled clavichord in , a secret attic, and the other copies whole books, and studies by moonlight for the want of a candle. No use of a whip to the boy painter. West, when he began in a garret and plunders the family cat for bristles to make his brushes; and of the boy Lincoln, stu­ diously learning from his books tar into the night, by the flames of burning wood in the old fireplace of his log cabin home, to become the great Eman­ cipator. On the other hand, to spend years at college, or at the work bench, in the store or office, and then to find out that the calling is a wrong one. is disheartening to all but those of the toughest fibre.Let us be what nature intended us to be. and we wfll succeed; be anything else and we will be ten thousand tunes worse than nothing. Therefore, we ' never see a man s ability ins' ra or in todet adornments; but in the I strong, sinewy arms, which betoken hard, honest toil, or under a mechamcs vest, where the kindliest heart docs beat.

WINSKEL no* thirst arises as one of the most power­ ful erbvings of the physical life. The water supply of Palestine is very scanty, hence the frequent reference found in the Bible to water is a symbol of great blessing. Literally, water was the “Water of life." When Jesus called himself the water of life he meant that he was absolutely essential to the wel­ fare of the soul. As water quenched the craving of thirst, so he satisfied the thirst of the soul. A familiar figure upon the streets of the towns of Pales­ tine is the vendor of water. Sometimes a generous person will buy the entire stock of water, and instruct that it be handed out without charge. The ven­ dor then cries: "Ho, you thirsty ones, come and drink, for nothing, for noth­ ing." This is the figure of our text. Crsus offers-himself as the Water of ife, so necessary for spiritual growth and health, and invites all to partake without money and without price. “Jesus the water of life doth give, freely, freely, freely." At the present time the city of Montreal is in the throes of a typhoid epidemic. A con­ taminated water supply is suspected as the cause. This reminds us that there may be a water of death. Those who | try to satisfy the craving of the soul with the waters of the world are risk ing spiritual disease and death. HYMN “I heard the voice of Jesus say.

The Evangelical Methodiit* decided to build a church here. The people of thii community got together and stumped the piece of ground they were to build the church on. The contract wa* then taken by Mr. John Smith of Tillson­ burg, who wa* then a lumber dealer. The one* who did the work were Mr. j Wesley Forbes and Mr. Robert Ward.' The carpenters were Mr. James Mat-} thews and Mr. John Chapman. The first pastor of the church wa* Rev.! Kroft. Thi* church wa* later bought I over by the Baptist people. The school house at this time wa* what is now the Foresters' Hall. There 1 wa* m-ch difference between the price* paid thi* time than at the pre*ent, for instance in 1886 Ella Monk wa* the teacher, receiving a* her salary $315 00 a year. The trustee* wer* Geo. Arnott, David Kennedy. John P< U in ger, Sr. In 1887 Mr. Wm. Almost uut the wood on for the school, cutting it 24 inches long, at 7Sc a cord. In 1888 Hannah Baker of Easton wa* teacher. She received a salary of $270.00 a year. Trurtee* were John Armstrong, Sr., and Mr. S. B. Camcron. In 1889 Charlotte Waller wa* teacher, receiving $240.00 as salary. The people of the community de­ cided on building a new school. A piece of ground was then purchased from Mr. Cyrus Spiece at $100.00. In 1895 the new school was erected. The car­penter* were John Herron, James Beatty and John Armstrong. Jr. The mason work was done by Thomas Brady of Vienna. The total cost of building the school wa* $1360.07. The first teacher in the new *chool wa* Mr. Wm. Moore The old ichoolhouse wa* then our- chased by the Forester*, which from then on ha* been known as the For­ esters' hall.During all these year* this place ha* been without a name or postoffice. So the people of the community, some of whom arc Wm. Patterson, Chas. Geary, David Kennedy, Thoma* Gziton, Gil­ bert Stover. Joe Otis. John Armstrong. Sr.. Leonard Boughner, Wm. CoOper, Henry Winskel, Robert Kent, Mose Springer and Elijah Stevenson, got to- tether and discu»sed the matter. Dr. Sinclair of Tillsonburg then wrote out 1 petition for a portoffice, most of the men signing it. They agreed on Ro»e- liill for a name for the community. A* lhe Province of Ontario already had a place called Rosehill. they sent back lhe privilege to have the postoifice and lhe name Rotanna. The postotfiee was then started in the year 1896 under the name of Rosanna. Mr. Armstrong was the first to have it. He kept it for about three year*. Mr. John Ander­ ton then had it for about thirteen year*. The mail came to the postoffice twice each week, on Tuesday* and Saturday*. It was first carried from Courtland to the portoffice by Mr. J. W. Herron. It was then carried from Til!*onburg by Mr. Joe William*. In about the year 1912 the rural route rtarted. It then came out from the Tillionburg port office.The telephone wa* brought into Rosanna about the year 1912 Mr. (ohn Armstrong Jr., being the first to avc it inrtalled.Now. as you all know, we have many new inventions.

Ker, of Burwell Packet, Dec. 18th, 1902:—Six months ago the writer vis­ ited the Bayham Council for the first time. All were utter strangers to him, I though he went there to report bad as well as good deeds. He courteously treated and has been since. For years it has been our ness to attend council meetings, in town and townships, and tht quency has given us some competency to judge of the merits of a council, and we can truthfully assure the ratepay­ ers of Bayham that they have a coun­ cil far above the average. Let us tell how they looked to us on our first ac­ quaintance with them. In the centre of the group around the table sat a young man with an eye as keen as a hawk, and we immediately remarked to ourselves that must be the attorney-general, commonly known as the reeve. To his left sat a rather seri­ ous looking man who seemed to care­ fully scrutinize and ponder c that came up. The minister < and measures, we remarked. Beside the serious man sat tor whom we failed to prope: . But as we listened and watched we came to the conclusion he was Bay­ ham’s Tartc—or the minister of public works-for as each ratepayer ap­ proached the table they seemed to know Will and kind of veer around to get under his sheltering wmg. Next around the board sat one of the best- natured looking fellows you’d see in a day’s travel. To pul it slangy, he was “a great head” and as he seemed to know considerable about everything that came up we dubbed him minister without portfolio, that is very mdispen- sablc in every cabinet. And lastly, a fine looking old gentleman with snowy j hair and moustache drew our attention. All seemed glad to see him as he came in a little late and took his seat. Here was a conundrum, and we gave up try­ ing to guess. A little short fellow with a bald head, and who i name of Jim sat at the eral’s right hand, and even more being paid sat next . vou have t.<»— — — ~ ,though you know them belter^th. do. we leave you tv /u-gc. _ follows: David Stratton. ^uel^Erret.

The annual re-organization meeting of the Port Burwell Board of Trade was held on Tuesday evening, March 8, in the council chamber. A good turn­ out of enthusiastic citizens was present and a number of interesting topics were discussed, such as real estate, to­ bacco growing, improved train service, and a big jubilee celebration on July 1st. E. Piper and M. J. Ryan were chosen as captains for the canvassing teams who are out to exceed the 1926 membership of 100 if possible. Officers elected for 1927: Pres., A. Bodsworth; vice pres., T.

Ah! he had expected it! It did not take him by *urpri*e—at least, not much! not much! So he said to himself. And he leaned heavily uj»on the Niobe. and struggled to meet the blow with dig­ nity. He succeeded. While the major was still squinting through hi* eyeglass, and automatically criticizing the muscles and tendrons of Virginias right leg, the youth lifted up his head and said—he felt obliged to say something: “it has long been contemplated.

And Falconer, irank and impulsive in all thing*, joyfully expressed hi. surprise jand hi* pleasure. And now. with a mind relieved of care and inspired by hope the young artist went diligently to work. And the rolled on. more orders. I chiefly from the United States, poured in upon him. I And he might have been happy but I for the thought of Maud ; that was the He watched the papers in an almost agonizing dread to sec the announce­ ment of their marriage—the sentence of hi* own despair. But he found it not. But what he did find wa* the con­ tinued report of Daniel Hunter* pub­ lic career—hi* proceeding* in Congress, hi* resolutions, his speeches, alt reveal­ing that Christian principle governing political action; that clear-sighted, tar-rcaching wisdom, that pure and high-souled patriotism which, despite all the strength of the boy’s stubborn prejudices, constrained hi* admiration and esteem. He struggled stoutly against this influence, but in vain; for everything he heard or read about Daniel Hunter disabused him of a prej­ udice. and gave him new cause for esteem. And at last he ceased to resi*t the strong attraction that was drawing hi* heart towards the noblest man of hi* age. Sometimes, even in the pres­ ence of the major. Falconer, with his frank impetuosity. would break out into some exclamation of surprise at hi* own blindness, and high admiration of Mr. Hunter’* course—a eulogium in which the major would cordially join. And. oh! if any circumstance* could have deepened hi* distress at the loss of Maud, it would have been this grow­ ing esteem of her father. Ala*. .Maud! She ptrvaded his whole being: she in­ fluenced all hi* actions. Haunted and inspired by her beautiful face, he threw the glory of that beauty over all hi* works. Why. even his model of the head of Venus was not a faithful copy, for it had Maud's angel brows! And when an order from the United State*, from an anonymous patron, was transmitted to him through Major ---- for an original group of statuary, the subject of which was to be Virgin­ ia*, the young sculptor seized the idea, went to week with all the enthusiasm and devol io I of his nature, and gave to the female I gure the form and features of his Maud. While the work rfas in plaster the major came to see it. It |wa* a grand and beautiful conception. I but not faul'lets, of course; it was in­ jured. as work* of art often are. by the artist’s own peculiar mood. Thus, not upon the principal, but upon the sub­ ordinate figure, was thrown the whole j ■power of hi* genius. For instance, hi* , ! Virginia* was well enough—a fine, i | stalwart Roman centurion enough, with a decent look ol pain and firmness up- , on hi* face, a* he held hi* daughter over his left arm and raised the dag^ ger with his right hand. But the fe­ male figure—hi* Virginia—that, indeed. । <»• i» .i triumph and a wondcV of art. I She lay over her, father's arm. with her beautiful face upturned to hi* in holy trust, to meet the descending blow— (not tmeorueiou*. not defying nor in­ voking the death. Jnit simply and beau­ tifully accepting it—accepting it as from her father's hand-accepting it in (perfect love and trust. t "Yes," said the .major, looking at And now that she should be domes­ ticated with another------. He could not pursue that thought! Ten thousand scorpions, not They stung his soul to very frenzy! Hi* heart burned and boiled like a crater: hit veins ran lava. Oh. that the were dead—dead I Some hopeful poet ha* said that the darkest hour it ju*t before the dawn. It wa* so certainly in our boy’s case; for sure never before had he grovelled and agonixed in *uch a black night of [ despair; and never before was he so, near the dawn of rapture. It came to pass that he walked up and down hi* studio floor about five hundred time* or more, with the sav­ age unrest of a tiger, before the grim fancy of reading the marriage an­ nouncement seized him. Then, with the same *ort of ghastly, shuddering interest with which some wretched vic­ tim of the inquisition might examine the instruments of his own torture, he took up the paper and read: “At St. John* Church, on the 15th of October, by the Rev. Mr. Ixsvel. Sir Henry Per­ cival. Baronet of Percival Park. Shrop­ shire. England, to Mi»* Honoria— Down dropped the paper, and up sprang the reader. Clapping both hi* hand* to hi* head, he stood like one lost in amazement. “It mu*t be that I am going mad.” he murmured. "Tea; my very senses arc no longer to be trusted."

Obituary On Sunday, March 6th, 1927, there passed from our midst a very highly respected and lifelong resident of Courtland in the person of Mary Louisa Buchner, beloved wife of W. J. Herron, in her 78th year. Besides her husband, she leaves to revere her sacred memory, her five children, two sons and three daughters: E. Bruce Herron of Courtland. Effie, Mrs. A. J. Wagg, of Mindemoya, Ontario; Lillian, Mrs. J. L. Johnston, Fort William, Ont.; J. C. Herron of Glen Ewen, Sask.; and Harriet. Mrs. Leroy Steele, of Buffalo, N.Y. Two brothers survive, Mr. E. A. Buchner of Hcspeler, Ont., and Mr. A. C. Buchner of Toronto, Ont.; also eleven grandchildren. At the age of 12 years, being of a religious nature, she joined the Methodist church of the village, continuing active in service for her Master throughout tier long and useful life. Suffering the loss of a devoted father in her young womanhood, she persevered in her education and on gaining her life cer­ tificate, taught school in Bethel. Rhine land and neighboring schools. During her illness of the past year she mani­ fested a cheerful Christian spirit, patient, and steadfast in faith, finding great consolation in hearing words of comfort from the Bible, her life-long guide and companion. The funeral Ser­ vice was conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. Fairbairn, assisted by Rev. A. J. Lovcday. Boston, Ont., at the home of her son. E. B. Herron. A forceful les­ son was preached from one of her fa­ vorite texts from Isaiah: "Tholi shalt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusted in thee.” Many bautiful floral tributes evidenced the sympathy of the com­ munity. Interment was made in the Methodist cemetery. janitus <¥1927 By Janet 9 "15aw the First robin this morrunq ! ’• Do tell' That sounds like Snrmq I*-Yes. and new Sfirinq Stvfey They're tn.-and I'm. qoma down, to-day to see ttiem. on display at=z——— THE STYLE SHOPPE -Wear AND MILLINERY.
