"The premium paid by the packing plants for select hogs during the present low price of bacon, re- compenses the farmer for his fore- sight in breeding and feeding the type of hog desired by the packers for the export trade as well as for the home consumption." The 1931 production of maple syrup in Peel v:as over 2,000 gallons. Surplus cattle sold over and above local con- sumption in Wellington County in the lastt year amounted to 15,000 head. ONTARIO CLOVER SEED BEST A1 GREAT CHICAGO SHOW Ontario farmers made a remarkable showing with Red Clover at the re- cnt International Grain and Hay show held in Chicago. With tixteen entries they captured fourteen prizes, includ ing 1st. 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th, and 11th. Many of the fine samples were grown in Prescott and Russell where the farmers specialize in the production of clover seed and where the local agricultural representative and Do- minion Seed Branch have done much to encourage the use of good seed cleaning machinery. Remi Lamarchc of Casselman was awarded first prize, while second went to Ladislns Landry of Crysler. Twenty-five young men from Me Fntyre, Shrigley, Maple Valley, and Badjenw will have an open air skat- ing rink at Badjeros this winter. A dentist had a Jew in his chair.

The women oi the Executive of the Canadian club entertained me at luncheon. It war a co-operative luncheon. Each wo- man contributed her best. One was famed for salads, another for roasting turkey to a turn, another for table decoration, another for desert. The result was the most artistic and wholly delightful meal of my trip. Ant) such fun as we had. The party hac. all the excitement of a prank and the informality of it made the group of women friends. Edmonton is very much a capital city. The Women's Canadian Club tea was honored by having as guests the wife of the Lieutenant Governor and the wife of the Prime Minister of the Province as well as a disting- uished woman magistrate and writer, Judge Emily Murphy. While the delightful informality of Drumheller was lacking, Edmonton had a charm all its own. A second meeting was held in Convocation hall on the cam- pus of the Alberta University which Dr. Wallace, the President of the Uni- versity honored with his presence. Keewatin was an interesting ano 'different' town. It is beautifully situated on the Lake of the Woods. It had at the time of my visit, just enough fresh white snow to make it look like an animated Christmas card. My hostess there was Mrs. Bob. Mit- chell (before Tier marriage, Dora Davidson of Durham). We had a delightful walk through the woods, following well padded Indian trails. Coming finally out on the highway we saw many trucks carrying supplies to the camps on the Federal High- way. Though the men are just a few miles out of town they are not allowed to come in, except, I suppose, undet special circumstances. Grey county people have contribut- ed much to the West. They seemed .0 be everywhere and contributed much to my enjoyment. Scarcely a rnecl- ing of the forty-five but saw several gathered for a chat at the close. They entertained me; they introduced mt to audiences; they thanked me foi speeches. It it wasn't the Armstrongs of Banff, formerly of Owen Sound who were kind, it was Mrs. Petti- grew of Durham, my hostess in Big gar; or Mr. Dunn of Moose Jaw, law ycr from Durham, who introduced me in Moose Jaw; or Mr. Miller, son of the late H. H. Miller, who thanked me in Weyburne, qr Mr. and Mrs. Neil McKinnon who entertained so delightfully in the sajne town. It is quite impossible to tell of all the Grey county people I met in Regina Saskatoon, Winnipeg, the twin cities, everywhere. As I was going west wheat was rising in price and the spirits of the people were lifting correspondingly, but as I came east wheat was falling and the gloom was settling down again. The Canadian situation is too closely bound up with great world problems of war debts and repara- tions, outworn financial systems, brok- en down distributive systems and burdensome taxation to be separately or hastily relieved.

Bring the boys and girls to town for the big day | St. John's W. The W. M. S. met in St. Johns church on Thursday, 17th inst. with Mrs. W. Moore in the chair. Silent prayer was followed by the hymn "Oh come all ye Faithful" and Mrs. Moort read the story of the birth of the Saviour as told by St. Luke. Mrs. Boyd read the devotional leaflet "Andrew, the man of decision", and Mrs. W. Inkster read, "The first Christmas". Rev. W. J. Scott was called to the chair to conduct thp election of officers. In addressing the auxiliary he spoke of the acute conditions which the church in the west is facing and expressed the hope that the church in the east may be able to bear the financial burden of the church in the West. Mr. Scott then called for the report of tht nominating committee which was a; follows :- Hon. Pres. Mrs. W. Wilcock Pres. Mrs. W. J. Scott 1st Vice. Pres. Mrs. Geo. Mitchell 2nd Vice. Pres. Mrs. W. I. Henrj Rcc. Sec. Miss Macmillan Cor. Sec. Mrs. W. Armstrong Sec. of Finance Mrs. J. J. Thomp- on Lad Had Leg Broken Master Stanley Brodie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Brodie of the townlinc, Artemesia and Euphrnsia, had both bones in his left leg broken below the knee on Tuesday evening when struck by the front foot of n horse. The little fellow had gone to tin- barn with his father whil<; the latter was doing the chores and was standing near the stable door when the horses were led out to water. When tho second horse was going out of the door it frightened at something and i n jumping struck the little fel- low's leg. He was brought to the hospital here and the fracture was re- duced by Dr. R. L. Carefoot. Mark- dale Standard. WRONG ATTITUDE We think thj wrong attitude to- wards nominations has developed Those who attend appear to look for and enjoy a "spat" between two aspir- ants more than they are interested in a review of what has been done dur- ing the year or of hearing the ideas of the candidates about matters that .vill come up (luring the incoming year. Looking after the affairs of the town Is business, and serious business at that, for it is difficult enough to pny our taxes and \ve do not want them wasted. We would suggest that rate- payers go to nominations with an in- quiring state of mind, rather than a jocular one. Midland Argus. Send The Advance to a friend. Supply Sec.
