Solloway, Mills & Com: A goodly number attended the Lion* CKib dinner at the Royal Hotel on Fri­ day evening. During the serving of the excellent dinner, community sing­ ing wa* enjoyed. President Terk pre­ sided at the gathering. Lion Mayor Weston introduced the speaker of the evening. Lion Rev. W. H. Dunbar, who chose as his subject, "The Lion* creed." Referring to the biblical reference of the,word "lion," the speaker found that a lion wa* the most courageous and generous of strong animals and was also an emblem of strength and valor. Lion Dunbar divided his subject into five part* and dealt with each letter of |the word lions, analyzed as follows: L—Loyalty to our country. I—Individual integrity in thought, word and deed. O—Our flag and our language. N—New ideals, new ambition* and new principles in business. S—Service that is founded on the golden rule.Throughout hi* splendid address Lion Dunbar stressed the necessity of loyalty to the flag, country, community, and homes, and especially to the beau­ tiful town of Tillsonburg, one of the best in all Canada. "One of the slogan* of Lionism is the word "Loyalty." No matter under what flag you live or to what nation you belong aince childhood, yea, even 1 in all the page* of history, you have I been taught loyalty. The business man 1 will tell you that in the getting together of a great business personnel he seeks r loyalty even before brilliancy. There is no doubt that loyalty to nation, church, state and community is con- mendable and I believe in the inner best of every man is the desire to be loyal, but many do not live up to the best that is within them. This loyalty must be reciprocal—members to officer, and officer to member*. Your very identification with a great army of Lions places you in the eye* of the community in which you live as a man of reputation, unselfishly ready to serve the community need*. Daily a wealth of personality is being brought into this great Canada of ours by peo­ ple from every country and are being moulded together to form a great na­ tion, and service dub* such as the Lion* club can now play a big part in the future welfare of Canada in the very community work they are carry­ ing on from month to month. Business firms and business management arc more and more demanding the carry­ ing out of the golden rule in every line of business." Lion Dunbar as usual included some very humorous Incidents in keeping with his address, which was heartily enjoyed by the members.

Another Sneak^Theft Another case of sneak-thieving, the third of the kind within a few weeks occurred at the residence of John E. Weston off Monday evening, when some evil-minded person walked into the living-rootn and appropriated $37 in cash. Mrs. Weston was in the basement, and Mr. Weston went into the kitchen for a drink of water. Dur­ ing his absence of not more than five minutes the deed was done. The money was on the table behind some books, and it is quite evident that the thief had had the room under obser­ vation for some time before the theft and knew the location of the cash, at footsteps were discovered in the snow beneath the window and around the house. It is hoped that the person or persons guilty of this sneak-thieving will be apprehended and given the punishment they so richly deserve. day afternoon a* the first public step , n a campaign of education towards he eradication of bovine tuberculous • »y the creation of a restricted area in Oxford County held under the auspi- • ce» of The Live Stock Improvement Association of Oxford County.- R. J. Kelley of Culloden was elected chairman, and in a few brief remark* pointed out the object of the gather­ing. W. E Thompson of Woodstock, president of- the a*»ociation. was the first speaker and illustrated his add­ ress with several Government prepar­ ed Chart* shewing thc excellent effect following restricted area* in other part* of the Dominion. The above Association was organized in 1921, and at that time 60% of the bull* in the county were grade. The total now ha* been reduced to 6% and the county farmer* were now in a fine position to accept this new plan. Medical authorities had found that 77% of all cases of tuberculosis, where the disease is located on the gland*, was traced to bovine origin. The »peaker emphasized the fact that farmers in thia section of the county should be particularity interested as patrons of thc Canadian Milk Product* Co. Ltd. who ship milk and cream to the Unit­ ed States markets under very parti­ cular restrictions under temporary permit* granted to several receiving stations, with no guarantee as to the length of time milk could be shipped. A demand to the states in excess of the product* was opening up a big market for Canadian product* but a serious situation was taking place in the fact that hundred* of the best Canadian cow* are being purchased by United States buyer* and the»e same purchaser* were passing the <arnl* where grade cattle were raised and were buying only from accredited herds. , .Mr. G. R- Green, secretary of the association, and district agricultural representative, thanked the chairman or thc flattering introduction, and •elievcd that a wrong impression had been broadcasted ahead of this present campaign to the effect that force was being used by those in charge to get he Oxford County farmer* behind the movement but on thc contrary these meeting* were b|ing held to educate the farmer* who arc not conversant with the regulation*. *o that they will realize the benefit* to be derived [rom the scheme. The last Govern­ ment census showed 82.000 cattle own­ ed in Oxford County with probably lescs than 10% tuberculosis affected. Mr. Green had several important ques­ tion* printed on large cards, which he answered in the course of his address, and then the meeting was thrown open for discussion on the subject and several more queitions answered among the most important being that 66 2-3% of all live stock owners in the SL Marys Church At a meeting of the Catholic Women’s League, held on Sunday, the following officer* were elected for the coming year: Pretident.

Conboy; secretary-treasurer, Miss Agnes Ker­ win. Gospri Taburnacte Pastor G F. Krauth, of Brocton, N.Y, occupied thc pulpit on Sunday. The morning message, “The Unshakable Responsibility of the Christian Church," Proverb* 24: Il and 12, was heart­ searching, the evening message, a sep­ arating one. clean-cut for God. Both these messages were running over with real practical truth. This (Thursday) evening the women have their open meeting. Th.v are taking up the work of Pastor Fetler in Riga, Latvia.

Everybody out and on time, please.Our advertisement presents some­ thing of special interast this week. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and relative* of tha late Mr. Amos Booth in the tragically sudden bereavement which ha* coax to them. The change in tha ending of the church year has been responsible for some delay in presenting our annual printed report. However, it is now in the printers’ hands, and will be out shortly.There is probably no truth in the re­po? that President Will KeUy. of the Unity Bible Class, and President John VanLoon of the Brotherhood, were seen in the bush cutting »hfllalah* for use m the fracas between the Irish and the Scotch which takes place this (Thurtday) night. It is true, bowmr, that the former was seen wielding a stick-BT type, while the latter has been observed diligently stropping several raxors. It may be fortunate that both the class and the Brotherhood possess a member who owns an ambulance. Pi—byfriau Dr. S. Banks Nelson of Hamilton, chairman of the legal committee of the General Assembly, addressed the con­ gregation on Tuesday evening at a special meeting held uAder the auspice* of the Guild. Dr. Nelson apologized for arriving on a later train than anti­ cipated. but he had been going since 7 -JO in the morning, introducing depu­ tations from Presbyterian congrega­ tions to the Attorney-General in con­ formance wi h an agreement made a few weeks ago between United Church and Presbyterian committees that dis­ putes concerning several church prop­ erties be settled by negotiation instead of private bills before the Ontario house. Excellent progress has been made along this line since Decrtnber, and the former Christian spirit restored in several communities.

Amendment, were coming to the Church Union bill in the near future that would do much to alleviate conditions existing in several communities where the passing of church union had caused more churchei to be erected instead of making less congregations as intended. He con­ gratulated the local congregation in carrying on under adverse circum­ stances. and upholding the Westmin­ster Confession of Faith in the same manner as the Covenanters of old. He assured the congregation that no par­ liament wfll ever take away the name of the Presbyterian church in Canada, and that both parliament, give full recognition to the fact that there was FOR A GOOD MEAL OR LUNCH ICE CREAM BRICK AND ARCTIC PIE Properly prepared and promptly served, call at TheTillsonburgCafe H.

Under the pres­ ent agreement a deputation of three from each United church and Presby­ terian church concerned meet in the Attorney-General's office at Toronto and all the facts laid on the table, with a consequent result that several private bills will not appear at this session of the Ontario house. Mr. G Clark oc­ cupied the chair, and during the even­ ing a splendid solo was rendered by Mrs. Colin Brown, with Mrs. Charles Waller acting as accompanist. Music was interspersed by the church orches­ tra and the meeting dosed with the singing of “O God Our Help in Ages Past," and prayer by Dr. Nelson.

Fresh Air m Wintcr Health Service of* the Canadian Medi­ cal Association Fre*h air is a necessity the year round. In the warm weather we live outside by preference and, because wc arc more comfortable that way, we keep the bedroom window open. As a result, we secure an abundance of fresh air. During the cold weather, most of our time is spent indoor* and we may forget that in order to main­ tain our health, it is necessary that we have plenty of fresh air. • One reason for the increase in the number of case* of communicable diseases, particularily of pneumonia during the winter months, is because the body is starved of fresh air.’ Fresh air is air that is cooL in motion and not too dry or too moist. The best air is the air outside. Night air is just as good a* day air. In the daytime, the advantage in being outdoors is because of the sunshine that is there. Indoor, we obtain the best air by opening the windows. This allows the cooller air in and causes it to circulate. in really cold weather, during the daytime, there is usually sufficient opening of doors and movement in the house, to keep the air cool and in motion. This is not so at night. Then the house is still and the air becomes overheated and stagnant. Bedroom windows should always be opened sufficiently to keep the air of the room cool and in circulation. How far the window needs to be open to accom­ plish this depends upon how cold it is, and upon the direction of the wind. Fresh air costs nothing; there is no reason whv all should not have their sharac of it.

COME IN AND SEE THEM 'IhmJWCfaief j (London Free Press) I Sir Henry Thornton and hi* chai- llcngc to the country that if railroad rates arc'increased the C.N.R. would •spend huge sum* on immigration, has called attention in a startling manner to the serious problem which is facing the railways of Canada. Sir Henry pointed out that the railway rates in Canada are on an average 6% per cent. Ie*s than in the United States, and are lower than in any other country in the world. In addition to this, the di*- tance* are longer and the density of population is les*. The wonder is that facing such conditions the railways of Canada are as prosperou* a* they have been. It speaks volumes for the effi­ cient management of the GP.R. and C. N. R. that they have been able to make a* fine a showing as they have in recent years.Th. p— P,.„ __I, ■ I .k! piouuci Ui inc country itsell, theThe Free Pres* ha* no brief for the pcriod ,incc confcderalion.

If they! belong* to Canada and endowed as it -,J------- -- 1—•--- • • -• >* >* with every natural resource it cannot help but find a very dignified place among the nations. Mr. Fox pointed out that Canada has three alternatives in future policy. It may be annexed to the United States: it may obtain its complete independence, but the best decision that must be made is the determination to remain a part of the British Empire. He pointed out the dangers of the other two proposed policies. Canada’s fu­ ture depend* to a very large extent upon the youth of the nation. It is to them that the statesmen of today are looking for stable support and an understanding interest of the affairs I that arc nearest and dcarcsct to the heart of every true Canadian.

They give a most useful ser­ vice to the public; they are here to should cease to function, or to function efficiently, then the business of Canada would shrivel up and die. There is no country in the world so dependent for its national development upon the rail­ roads as Canada. For these reasons the railways, in the crisis they are fac­ ing at the present juncture, in the op­ position of the motor trucks and motor busses, should have fair play. The railroads have an expensive right-of- way, purchased by themselves, which they maintain and upon which they pay •taxes. The motor trucks and busses have a right of way handed to them, which is maintained out of the public taxes. In addition, while railway rates arc controlled by the Railway Commis­ sion, there is no governing body to con-«... -1. -..JI . rv-t ■ • a I INSURANCE H. L. Pratt Life. Accident and Sickness.

School, London Feb. 17.—William Fox, of this city, representative of the De La Salle school, was declared the winner of the senior W. O.S.S.A district ora­ torical final, held at St. Peter’s Parish Hall last night. Opposing contestants for the honor were A. Boughner, of the Tillsonburg Collegiate, and R. Saunders of the St. Thomas Collegiate Institute. Taking as his subject "The Future of Canada,” the youthful London ora­ tor gave a concise account of the history of Canada. Canada’s story was composed of three chapters, he said.—the French period, the English and that period which is essentially a product of the country itself, the ’ t.

With world outlook, and un­ biassed, generous judgment, it seeks the interest of all alike. And amid con­ ditions following the Great War, condi­ tions created laragcly by the spoils of conquest, new national relations fret­ ting many an old sore, such delicate and difficult situations have arisen as only the League could have handled. Some delight to dwell on its imagined failures. But failure here has yet to be registered. Without exception it has dealt tactfully and effectively with every emergency arising. Many and varied arc its political activities :but for convenience’s sake let us consider them under three heads, noting first those of a manda­ tory character. I.—Maa data* Harris Abattoir** Guest* St. Thomas, Feb. 20.—A goodwill banquet by the Harris Abattoir Com­ pany, Toronto, to their customers in this district was given in the Knights of Pythias Hall, Thursday night, with Z. J. Edgeworth, of the headquarter* staff in the chair. Guests were present from St. Thomas, London, Rodney, Tillson­ burg, Port Stanley and other places. The early part of the evening was spent in progressive euchre, first prize of a side of bacon going to W. Burn, Tillsonburg; second to E. Smith, St. Thomas; third to Mr. Bye, St. Thomas, and fourth to Mr. Miller, Rodney, each receiving suitable prizes consisting of Harris products. A fine display of the firm’s products was on view. Subsequently the company partook of a succulent meal consisting mainly of Harris foods. There were several speeches, and entertainment was fur- In old time "To the victor belonged the spoils:*' and the might which won in any conquest wrung what it could from the conquered. Under the shelt­ ering wing of the League such -pagan practice is impossible. Here Christian principles come to play. Article Twenty-Two declares that "To those colonies and territories which, as a consequence of the late war, have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the States whicli formerly governed them, and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by them­ selves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be ipplied the principle that the well­ being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civiliz­ ation, and the securities for the per­ formance of this trust should be em­ bodied in this covenant.” So embodied, these securities find expression as Mandates. Of these there arc three classes, A.B, and Q The two latter concern especially the inorc backward peoples, for whom they arc as an approach of the year of jubilee, since the Twenty-Second Ar­ ticle declares that "The Mandatory ' mu*t be responsible for the adminis- • tration of the territory under condi­ tions which guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to ' the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses, such as the slave trade, the arms traffic, the liquor traffic, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military or naval bases, and military training of the natives for other than police purposes and the defence of territory; and also secure equal oppor­ tunities.for the trade and commerce of other Members of the League.” Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia arc in Class A.

Akin to this mandatory policy is another equally successful experiment of the League in dealing with minori­ ties. Wherever in any state some alien minority has settled as the result of old conflict, or othtcr cause, there, always, has been a dangerously cxplo-. sivc centre: a centre where jealousy, persecution and resentment quicklv kindled to disturbance. Nor seemeo there any way of avording such out­ breaks, since these minorities not or would not merge the peolc of the fatherland, with the consent, of course, of itate concerned, these have come under the League I ing wing. They are guaranteed pro­ tection there, freedom of conscience, educational advantages, and the use of their mother tongue. The League is recognized as the final court of appeal by all concerned should any questiou of the state's fair treatment of them arise, or any question as to their due allegiance to the state wherein they home. In the case of some of the most irreconcilable of these minority i groups, there has actually 'been whole­ sale exchange made, each group going * to its own people.

Rodgers this banknote would have represented a modest fortune of over twenty thous­ and dollar*. Today, it is not worth the paper and Ink it is made of. Jt belongs to the period after the war wherf Ger­ many’s printing presses were turning out money wholesale, with no reserve of gold behind the money to give it value. After all, a banknote is merely i promise to pay gold to the amount of its face value and its worth depends upon the ability of the issuer to make good the promiie. This is the measure of the value of any promise, namely, the ability and the intention to make lhe promise good. So often the prom­ ise* of men are worthless because they cannot or will not carry them out. Our lext bear* testimony to the fact that God’s promise* arc not like the prom­ ises of men. We can rely upon them absolutely because God possesses both the power and the will to fulfill them to the uttermost. They never fail u* io our time of need. The bank of heaven is never without the necessary wealth t<» meet every promissory note recorded in the word of God. Let us put God to the test by cashing in upon his promises today. HYMN "Let us with gladsome mind Praise lhe Lord, fo’r He is kind: For Hi* mercies shall endure. Ever faithful, ever sure." The extraordinary’ expansion of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada during the last few year* ha* caused its annual report to be await­ ed with unusual interest, not only by the policyholders of the Company, but by a large section of the general public. Perhaps a sentimental interest at­ tached to this expectation this year, because the President, Mr. T. B. Macaulay, in October celebrated hi* fiftieth year of continuous service, and it was known that the world* wide organization of the Sun Life Company had determined to specially honour its jubilee with an outstand­ ing tribute in the forpi of increased business. Having in view- the. fact that the Company’s business has doubled on an average every five or six year* since it was organized, it would appear rather difficult to outdo prev­ ious record* but the annual report which the President has just sub­mitted. and which appears in this issue, must have surpassed the ex­ pectations of the most sanguine. The total amount,of assurance in force with the Company now appfoaches the billion and a hallf figure, $1,487.- 000X00. an increase for the year of over $231,500,000. The total net in­ come tor the year exceeded $100,000- 000—five times what it was ten years ago and more than S23.000.00J in excess of the income for the prev­ ious year. " The outstanding position of the Sun Life Company in the assurance world is not confined to Canada. Such statistics a* arc available for 1927 indicate that the aggregate new busi­ ness of all the Companies operating in North America last year barcly cxcecds the total new business of the previous year. The increase in the new business of the Sun Life of Canada, on the other hand, was twenty-three per cent. Assurance* in force on the books of the company have doubled in four years—new busi­ ness ha* trebled in that period. The surplus earned during the year amounted to over $38,500,000. The Company ha* followed its conservat­ ive policy with respect to this sur- pus and deducted $5,000,000 from the market value of its securities as a further provision against possible future fluctuations, the total amount set aside for this purpose now stand­ ing at $10,000,000. The account to provide for unforeseen contingencies now amount* to $12,500,000. The sum of $1000,000 has been writterr off the Company’s’ properties; an additioinal $500,000 ha* been set aside in antici­ pation of the greater longevity of annuitants—the to'tal provision under this head now being $2,000,000. An­ other $50,000 has been set aside to provide for claims with respect to total disability cases a* yet unreport­ ed. $11,000,000 ha* been paid or allotted as profits to policyholder* during the year, and over $6,000.00 ha* been contingently allotted to de­ ferred dividend policies issued prior to 1911 and to five-year distribution policies to provide for profit* accrued but not yet payable.After making these liberal deduc­ tion* and allocations, over $11,000,000 has been added .to the undivided sur­ plus. which now standi at more than HSjmm Mr* D.

But. a beauti­ ful web was left to charm those who would pass by. It is so like a person, one may work and work until his body old is bent, and he can do no more, then he fall* beneath the load. Another takes up the task, but it is done in a different ! way by a different individual Just how much of anyone’s work remains depends upon whether he has 'put « those things into it, which will live, in the live* of humanity, the qualities that will stand the test of lime. The 1 influence of a happy life, spent in loving service to others, goes forth to ' cheer and help other lives. Just like ■ the spider, you and I arc weaving the fabric of lite. We go back and forth, ' back and forth, day after day, doing the same kind of work. If we did not lave a vision before us and keep our hearts full of joy and a song on our lips, we would have a life of drudgery or be mere machines, but the fact, that we have a personality to develop 1 and a spirit within us that calls for the friendship of kindred spirts, spurns us on to greater effort, and helps us to ■ weave golden treads into our fabric of life. Each day, hour by hour, minute by minute make up the fabric which we are unconsciously weaving If we could have a beautiful fabric } when our life is woven, we need first i of all to have that spirit of love, from I God the giver of every good and perfect gift, which VIII fill our life ; and radiate forth to cheer other* I whom wc meet along life’s ’pathway.'

We do not need to I know our friend's ideas, religion or business but we do have to see their faces. Our faces, like an open book, tell to the world, the hidden joy or | sorrow lying deep in the heart. They speak of love and sympathy or of hatred, malice and deceit. Our actions speak of truth and honesty or ’their j opposite*. Can we avoid gossip and help to build up the live* ol those about us. or will wc hurt and help to push down the one. who may be try­ ing oh, so bard to ’ rise above life’s perplexities? If wc would have a beau­ tiful fabric when the pattern of life is wrought, we must weave in beau­ tiful thing*.

Baptist Church Sunday, February 26, 1928 To the Editor of The News: The rural population in the vicinity oSfillsonburg feel that they arc being discriminated against by police vigil­ ance and made the butt of petty perse­ cutions of traffic law*. Many women driver* leave their car* parked with relative* in the residence portion* rather than drive on main street, and during the recent ice storm an elderly , gentleman and law abiding' citizen, who j has driven a car into Tillsonburg week­ ly to do business for the past ten years r.urnuure vomiwi.y -* » unm/., or "»ore. brought in hi* son’s car to lhe come to bat with facts and figures.^garage for repairs, and while the car contained hi* son’* driver’s license his own Ivas forgotten in his car at home, and although he offered to return home and get it, this was of no avail and he was summoned to court or pay a fine. Feeling this keenly he paid the fine, even though it was the one and only time he had been without his driver’s license, and I am sure many others have made similar mistake* without paying a heavy fine, a* his amounted to con- riderably over five dollars. Another instance of a rural citizen coming out of Mabee’* garage after getting repair*, and a* the streets were very icy and he was afraid of stalling, he moved very slowly past the stop sign without stopping, at about eleven o’clock in the morning, with no traffic in sight, only to be held up by the police officer. And still another in­ stance. of halting the car on the wrong side of the street, which was so icy, the wife was afraid to cross, and this with no traffic in sight, and -the result an­ other fine. No wonder there arc fines enough to pay an extra police officer. But what avail are excellent stores and courteous service if the public arc afraid to make nsc of this splendid ser­ vice which is afforded by the town of Tillsonburg. Is it any wonder the mail order houses are growing and expand­ ing? The families mentioned in the above instances arc not likely to return very quickly to a town that ha* made examples of them, but will go a few miles farther, or make use of the mail order houses. The writer feels confi­ dent that neither the merchant* nor town council desire such condition* to continue, and if they doubt it, would advise them to inquire of some of their rural customers.

Byron "Barney” Oatman, now on | the- staff of the Meretsky-Gitlin F.urniture Company at Windsor, ha* .........which make hi* illustrious brother, Eddie Oatman, one of the candidates for honor. "Barney" frankly admit* that Eddie may not be the champion but if lie’s not then the winner has to beat 19 years of pro pastiming. native of Tillsonburg, Eddie Oat­ man attracted the attention of the professional moguls away back in 1909. when he had left the home town to play in O. H. A. company at Sim­ coe. He signed his first professional contract with Waterloo for the season of 1909-10. The following season saw him with the famous Quebec club of lhe old National Hockey Association. He helped the Quebecers capture the Stanley Cup in 1911, and to defend it against the challengers from Moncton, New Brunswick. He followed four, years on the Pacific coast, two season* with New Westminister and the next two with Portland, Oregon. The Portland club won the coast title in 1916 and played the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup final. In the winter of 1916-17, Eddie came back to the cast to perform for the 228th Battalion sextet that held Toronto’s franchise in the National league. But he returned to the coast the following season to join Lester Patrick’s Victoria Cougars. For five years Oatman was a regular and a star with the Aristocrats, always be­ ing well up among the leading scorers of the league. In 1922 he wa* picked to help the \iincouvcr Maroon* in their Stanley Cup scries with Toronto, St. Pat*. Went to Calgary A gradual move catflwards com­menced when Eddie went to Calgary for the season of 1923-24. He assisted the Tigers in copping Western Canada league laurels and earning another trip cast to face the Canadiens for the world’s championship. For 1925-26 he was manager of the Calgary team but when pro hockey "blew up" on the plains Oatman jumped to Minneapolis, in the Central league. He enjoyed a good season there last winter but moved again, further cast. Now he is a regular defence the Boston Tigers, favored ers for the championship Canadian American league.Oatman’s record marked him as one of the stars of all time. He figured in four Stanley Cup finals, played on many more championship clubs and was picked on a dozen all-star teams. Originally a right-winger he has drop­ ped back to defence position now and recent content from New England papers indicate that he has many more years of pro hockey left in him.If his mark of 19 straight years of l>ro hockey is not a record it would Ise interesting to learn what veteran, still active, can beat it. Some of the old-time players may be bashful about admitting their length of service but scrap books should divulge the truth. Other StarsEddie Oatman, incidentally, came by his athletic ability naturally as his father. Archie Oatman, wa* one of the pioneers of athletics. For some years now Mr. Oatman has been living in Minneapolis, but he was one of the greatest sport boosters that Tillson­ burg ever had. Eddie gained the the greatest fame, but a young brother Russel, is now playing for the Mon­ treal Maroons and was with the De­ troit Cougars part of last winter. "Barney,’’ living at Windsor, is a bowl­ ing star and younger brothers arc bidding for hockey fame. Ross plays amateur hockey at Victoria, an­ other boy* in Alberta.

This paper was a report from the Oxford Prcsbyterial held in Ingersoll on the 24th of January, and was splendidly given. Following the report appeals given at the presby- terial were brought to the meeting. There is a very special need for a guild school at Corea being made to the Do­ minion board of the W.M.S. "They arc asking God for the money,” and telling the people of the great need. The next item on the program was a short review of the second chapter of the study book. New Paths for Old Purposes, given by mean* of questions and answers. Mr*. A. Honsberger then gave the next chapter, which was very interesting. The offering was then received and the meeting closed.

Optometrist—Eyesight Specialist Fellow of the Institute of Opticians, London, England Who is the of 'profession- a puck for question that up time after time, whenever genuine old-time hockey fans get to­ gether. It has never yet been com­ pletely and conclusively answered. Byron •'Barney" Oatman, now on the- staff of the Mcretsky-Gitlin Furniture Company at Windsor, hat come to bat with facts and figures', which make his illustrious brother, Eddie Oatman, one of the candidates for lionor. "Barney" frankly admits that Eddie may not be the champion but if he’s not then the winner has to beat 19 years of pro pastiming. A native of Tillsonburg, Eddie Oat­ man attracted the attention of the professional moguls away back in 1909, when he had left the home town to play in O. H. A. company at Sim­ coe. He signed his first profcssiortal contract with Waterloo for the season of 1909-10. The following season saw him with the famous Quebec club of the old National Hockey Association. He helped the Quebecers capture the Stanley Cup in 1911, and to defend it against the challengers from Moncton, New Brunswick. He followed four years on Pacific coast, two seasons with Westminister and the next two Portland. Oregon. The Portland the with _______ _ club won the coast title in 1916 and played the Canadicns in the Stanley Cup final. In the winter of 1916-17, Eddie came back to the east to perform for the 228th Battalion sextet that held Toronto's franchise in the National league. But he returned to the coast the following season to join Lester Patrick’s Victoria Cougars. For five years Oatman was a regular and a star with the Aristocrats, always be­ ing well up among the leading scorer* of the league, in 1922 he was picked to help the Vancouver Maroons in their Stanley Cup »cric* with Toronto, St. Pat*. Went to Calgary A gradual move eastwards com­ menced when Eddie went to Calgary (or the season of 1923-24. He a.sisted (he Tigers in copping Western Canada league laurel* and earning another trip east to face the Canadicns for the world's championship. For 1925-26 he was manager of the Calgary team but when pro hockey "blew up” on the plain* Oatman jumped to Minneapolis, in the Central league. He enjoyed a good season there last winter but moved again, further cast, last fall. Now he i* a regular defence man with the Boston Tigers, favored contend­ er* for the championship for the Canadian American league. Oatman's record marked him as one of the stars of all time. He figured in four Stanley Cup finals, played on many more championship clubs and was picked on a dozen all-star team*. Originally a right-winger he ha* drop­ ped back to defence position now and recent content from New England paper* indicate that he has many more years of pro hockey left in him, If hi* mark of 19 straight year* of pro hockey is not a record it would lie interesting to learn what veteran, still active, can beat it. Some of the old-time player* may be bashful about admitting their length of service but scrap-book* should divulge the truth. Other Stars Eddie Oatman, incidentally, came by hi» athletic ability naturally a* hi* father. Archie Oatman, was one of the pioneers of athletic*. For some year* now Mr. Oatman ha* been living in Minneapolis, but he was one of the greatest sport booster* that Tillson­ burg ever had. Eddie gained the the greatest fame, but a young brother Russel, is now playing for the Mon­ treal Maroons and wa* with the De­ troit Cougar* part of last winte’. "Barney," living at Windsor, is a bowl­ ing star and younger brother* arc bidding for hockey fame. Ros* play* amateur hockey at Victoria, an­ other boy* in Alberta. To the' Editor of The New*: The rural population in the vicinity ob^illsonburg feel that they are being discriminated against by police vigil­ ance and made the butt of petty perse­ cution* of traffic laws. Many women drivers leave their cars parked with relatives in the residence portions rather than drive on main street, and during the recent ice storm an elderly gentleman and law abiding'citizen, who ' ha* driven a car into Tillsonburg week­ ly to do business for the past ten years or more, brought in his son's car to the garage for repairs, and while the car contained his son's driver's license his own was jorgotten in his car at home, and although he offered to return home and get it. this was of no avail and he wa* summoned to court or pay a fine. Feeling this keenly he paid the fine, even though it was the one and only time he had been without his driver's license, and I am sure many others have made similar mistakes without paying a heavy fine, as his amounted to con­ siderably over five dollars. Another instance of a rural citizen coining out of Mabcc's garage after getting repairs, and as the streets were very icy and he was afraid of stalling, he moved very slowly past the stop sign without stopping, at about eleven o'clock in the morning, with no traffic in sight, only to be held up by the police officer. And still another in­ stance. of halting the car on the wrong side of the street, which was so icy, the wife was afraid to cross, and this with no traffic in sight, and -the result an­ other fine. No wonder there are fines enough to pay an extra police officer. But what avail are excellent stores and courteous service if the public are afraid to make nsc of this splendid ser­ vice which is afforded by the town of Tillsonburg. Is it any wonder the mail order houses are growing and expand­ ing? The families mentioned in the above instances arc not likely to return very quickly to a town that has made examples of them, but will go a few­ miles farther, or make use of the mail order houses. The writer feels confi­ dent that neither the merchants nor town council desire such conditions to continue, and if they doubt it. would advite them to inquire of some of their rural customers. t A Rural Citizen.

A native of Tillsonburg, Eddie Oat­ man attracted the attention of the professional moguls away back in 190*< when he had left the home town to play in O. H. A. company at Sim­ coe. He signed hi* first professional contract with Waterloo for the season of 1909-10. The following season *aw him with the famous Quebec club of the old National Hockey Association. He helped the Quebecers capture the Stanley Cup in 1911, and to defend it against the challenger* from Moncton, New Brunswick. He followed four years on Pacific coast, two seasons with Westminister and the next two Portland, Oregon.

Licensed as an Optometrist in the Province of Ontario the New with . __ ___ _ club won the coast title in 1916 and played the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup final. In the winter of 1916-17, Eddie came back to the east to perform for the 228th Battalion sextet that held Toronto's franchise in the National league. But he returned to the coast the following season to join Lester Patrick's Victoria Cougars. For five year* Oatman was a regular and a star with the Aristocrats, always be­ ing well up among the leading scorers of the league. In 1922 he wa* picked to help the Vancouver Maroon* in their Stanley Cup scries with Toronto, St. Pat*. Went to Calgary A gradual move eastwards com­ menced when Eddie went to Calgary for the season of 1923-24. He assisted the Tiger* in copping Western Canada league laurel* and earning another trip east to face the Canadiens fur the world'* championship. For 1925-26 he wa* manager of the Calgary team but when pro hockey "bleu up" on the in the Central league. He enjoyed a good seaton there last moved again, further cast. Now he is a regular defence the Boston Tigers, favored ers for the championship Canadian American league. Oatman’s record marked him as one of the Mars of all time. He figured in four Stanley Cup finals, played on many more championship clubs and wa* picked on a dozen all-star team*. Originally a right-winger he has drop­ ped back to defence position now and recent consent from New England paper* indicate that he has many more year* of pro hockey left in him. If hi. mark of 19 straight years of pro hockey is not a record it would be interesting to learn what veteran, still active, can beat it. Some of the old-time players may be bashful about admitting their length of service but scrap-books should divulge the truth. Other Star* Eddie Oatman, incidentally, came by hit athletic ability naturally a* his father, Archie Oatman, was one of the pioneers of athletics. For some year* now Mr. Oatman has been living in Minneapolis, but he was one of the greatest sport booster* that Tillson­ burg ever had. Eddie gained the the greatest fame, but a young brother Russel, is now playing for the Mon­ treal Maroons and wa* with the De­ troit Cougar* part of last winte-.

Feeling thi* keenly he paid the fine, even though it wa* the one and only time he had been without his driver's license, and I am sure many other* have made similar mistakes without paying a heavy fine, as hi* amounted to con­ siderably over five dollar*. Another instance of a rural citizen coming out of Mabee's garage after getting repairs, and a* the streets were scry icy and he was afraid of stalling, he moved very slowly past the stop sign without stopping, at about eleven o'clock in the morning, with no traffic in sight, only to be held up by the police officer. And still another in­ stance, of halting the car on the wrong side of the street, which wa* *o icy, the wife was afraid to cross, and thi* with no traffic in sight, and <he result an­ other fine. No wonder there are fines enough to pay an extra police officer. But what avail are excellent store* and courteous service if the public arc afraid to make nse of this splendid ser­ vice which is afforded by the town of Tillsonburg. Is it any wonder the mail order houses are growing and expand­ ing? The families mentioned in the above instances are not likely to return very quickly to a town that has made examples of them, but will go a few miles farther, or make use of the mail order houses. The writer feel* confi­ dent that neither the merchant* nor town council desire such conditions to continue, and if they doubt it. would advise them to inquire of some of their rural customers. t A Rural Citizen.

The strength and resources of the Company have been further enhanced . . . The high earning power of the Company's investments has been ugain demonstrated. The net rate of interest earned on the mean invested assets, after fully providing for in­ vestment expenses, was 6.47 per cent. This gratifying result has been made possible by dividend increases, bonuses and stock privi­ leges accruing on many of the Company's holdings. The wisdom of the investment policy which has been consistently followed in past years.'in favouring long term bonds and the stocks of outstanding and very carefully selected cor- tions, has been once more emphasized, appraisal of our securities showsjhat the excess of market values over cost increased during the year by $19,235,889.99. In addi­ tion. a net profit of $5,028,033.20 accrued from the redemption or sale of securities which had risen to high premiums. The quality of the investments listed in the assets is testified by the fact that on both bonds and preferred stocks not one dollar, due either as interest or dividend, is in arrear*for even one day. while the dividends accruing to com­ mon stocks are greatly in excess of the divi­ dends payable on the t>ame stocks at the time of purchase. The surplus earned during the year amounted to $38.511,029.67 from which the following appropriations have been made: $5,000,000 has been deducted from the market value of our securities as a further provision against possible future fluctua­ tions. increasing the amount so set aside to_ $10,000,000. $1,500,000 has been added to the account 'to provide for unforeseen- contingencies. which now stands at $12,500,000. $1,000,000 has been written off the Com­ pany's Head Office building and other properties. $500,000 has been set aside to provide for the greater longevity of annuitants, bring­ ing the total provision under this heading to $2,000,000. $50,000 has been set aside to provide for claims in respect of total disability as yet unreported. $11,090,056.61 has been paid or allotted as profits to policyholders during the year. In addition. $6,205,573.00 lias been con­ tingently allotted to deferred dividend poli­ cies issued~prior to 1911, and to five year distribution policies, to provide for profits accrued but not yet payable. After making these deductions and alloca­ tions. $11469,330.89 has been added to the undivided surplus, bringing the total over all liabilities, contingency account and capital stock to $45480.896.14.

Here was Germany”* great mining centre, homing a population of more than three-quarter million souls. Her defeat meant the surrender of this rich and populous territory to France as compensation for the wanton destruc- of Grench mines during the war. such a situation was impossible of long con­ tinuance.

Yet even so difficult a raw-sore situation, tactfully handled -by the League's commission of five—bne a Canadian—ha* been tided over, all parties recognizing the cimmission’s absolutely impartial administration. II—Pr.ve.tive Mmiur~ If in all these way* there has been a remarkably successful policy on the part of the League in it* dealing with the remoter causes, or possible causes of war. equally successful have been it* more directly war-preventive mea­ sures. Provisions for these lie* at the very heart of the covenant in article after article. These measures have been applied in various ways. There ha* been, for instance, the halting of actual hostili­ ties in some cases, and the warding off of these in others by judicious inter­ vention. Not withstandong the greater im­ poverishment of Europe following the War, political complications there­ upon have threatened again and again to set the heather afire. A* early a* 1919 Poland and Lithuania disagreed over the district of Vilna, and though restlessness ha* persisted there ever since, the League s intervention then at Poland’s request avoided open rup­ ture. And now thanks again to the League's tactfulness, thi* restlessness is itself dying down, the two countries agreeing, on the 10th of last Decem­ ber. to end their long-standing "state of war" relationship, resume diplo­ matic negotiations and seek lhe peace­ ful settlement of all their difficulties. Lithuania was again embroiled, thi* time with the Allie* themselves, over MemeL a seaport, the little land with amazing daring seized in 1923. Only the patient, yet unhesitating diplo- Sof the League arrested then the to open conflict. In 1920 Sweden and Finland came to the verge of war over the Aaland Islands. Again swift action of lhe League avoided the drawn sword, and the dispute was settled by neutralizing the Islands.

And what can you do to get your hens to lay more eggs? Here’s the answer. Feed Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash. Your hens will lay more eggs. Bigger profits for you. Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash is a scientific balance of many in­ gredients with an oatmeal base—so proportioned to give hens the correct amount of protein and carbohydrates. Bone meal and calcium carbonate provide the necessary minerals. In addition Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash contains Cod Liver Meal to make all ingredients do better work, and replace missing sunlight during winter months. Ful-O- Pep Egg Mash restores to the hen those elements she puts into eggs—thus keeping her in condition for heavy pro­ duction. * You will find Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash the most economical feed. No waste. All feed. Hens eat every bit of it Get larger, stronger-shelled eggs and of more uniform size. Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash and Ful-O-Pep Scratch Grains make the ideal combination. Ask your dealer for them. ------- BEECH LANEBlackvWe, N.B.. Feb. 2&-(Special)-I Mr*.’ J. Lynch, a resident of this place.

After a bountiful lunch which was served by the ladles’ aid of the United church, Mr. and Mrs. Corman were called to the centre of the roonit after which Mr. Charles Birdsall, the Sunday school - superin­ tendent, read the following address:— Mr. and Mrs. Corman—Your neigh­ bors and friends have gathered with you at your home today on this the anniversary df your wedding, to offer our congratulations, also to help you celebrate the happy event. Sometime* no doubt in memory you glance back over lhe years that have passed and note the many changes time has wrought, for man has achieved wonder­ ful things and brought out many in­ ventions within the last few decades. No more for us the patient plodding oxen; we demand a speedier mode of farm [>ower and electric devices to lighten labor for man and beast, and in many other directions the Irend of the day and the ambitious hope is for more haste, .more speed rmtil the climax seems to have been finally reached in the development of those amazingly and capable air ships, as well as the smaller air craft,’ which have become a common sight of today and which promises to be a popular mode of transport. When you look about and see tthe progress and pros­ perity of the neighborhood as it was a few short months ago, it surely is a gratifying thought that you have had a share in bringing about such satis­ factory conditions. In clearing the land and so fitting it for agriculture, also in building a comfortable and commod­ ious home and surroundings, ’ in the bringing in and raising of a better class and breed of farm stock, thus raising the standard for production and progress. Not alone in the lines mentioned did your activities cease, but you have ever had the kindly thought for the advancement of the community in other directions. We treasure in our memories and appreci­ ate the interest you had in the church and Sunday school when you persis­ tently urged forward and so substan­ tially helped in a financial yay the work of replenishing our library a few years ago. Also for obtaining/a suitable receptacle . for the new volumes chosen. We value, too, the kind thought you have both taken tn all the various activities of the church, piaec ui tuc u-u* as the ladies' aid and Sunday school.
