WEST9J TOE GREAT |LjyCES /^/^M/' 1HE growth of the Bank of Montreal has closely coincided with the gradual development of Canada from a small colony to a great Dominion, ..^ In tfjc Bank's westward advance to the Pacific Giast, one of the important links in its transcontinental chain of Branches was formed in 1878 at Winnipeg, when the Bank opened its first Branch west of the Great Lakes. This forward step, taken seven years before railway commtmication was opened up bctwjen Montreal and Winnipeg, made available to the incoming population on the prairies the stabilizing co-operation of a strong, conservative and at the same time energetic financial institution. Of the Bank's 567 Branches, 12 are situated inWinnipeg and 180 in the Prairie Provinces, including Winnipeg. BANK OF MONTREAL Established over lOO years 'I Total Assets in excess of iG50.ooo.ooo Vundeleur and Dundalk., which teams have been organized for some time. The Centre Grey League has been running the past few years and com- menced with eight clubs, but these dwindled down to three last year, and this year Flesherton dropped out as they were not able to gather to- gether a suflficiently strong team to justify them putting a team on the field. tennis"club1ias been organized A tennis club has bcL-a organized by the young people of the Methodist church and an attempt will be made to form a first class cinder court. It is proposed to use the lawn on the east side of the church for the court and if it can be secured work will commence at once to get it ready. The following officers were elected at the organization meeting on Mon- day evening: â€" Hon. Pres., Mr. Carrol; Pres.. F. J. Thurston; Sec.-Treas.. Kendall Boyd; Managing Committee, Misses Alcda Mitchell and Evada Wilson and Mr. Wes. Armstrong. It is proposed to charge an admission fee> into the Club of $1.00 and allow all the young people of town to enter irrespective of denomination. Those wishing to join please leave your names with the President -or Secre- tary at once, as the number in the Club will have to be limited. The forming of the club is a step in tha right direction, as it will help amuse the young people, as well as being healthful exercise. Dept. of Ag'l. MRS. RICHARDSON IS LEAVING FOR ENGLAND Mrs. Wm.

Armstrong & Son FLESHERTON Club Hog Inspection During the past week Mr. Dan Lerch, Preston, one of the most suc- cessful breeders of the Yorkshire hogs in Waterloo county, was in the County on a tour of inspection of the various bacon hog clubs of Grey county. There are now thirty clubs. The majority of the members are (juite satisfied but at least five of the boars were condemned. These will be re- placed by another of better type at no cost whatever to the Clubs. Surely such service commends itself to the farmers of Grey county. Two new clubs have recently been organized, one at Droniore, Egre- mont township; and one near Bognor, Sydenham township. Others are in process of organization, but many more might be started. The regulations area s follows: â€" Any ten farmers having at least twenty sows can secure a boar of ai)i>rovud bacon type, free of charge. The requirements are- not at all impossible to perform as is shown by the results of the Clubs now organiz- ed. The good sires will be retained but they will be transferred to other Clubs upon request of the members. Grey county could, with profit, go into this Bacon Club work more ex- tensively. Perhaps if co-operation were given a hog fair could be arr- anged in some district where there was interest suff'icient to assure a goodly number of entries. It is for Grey County farmers to say. f SIX HILL STORES 4» • 9 We buy together in order that our customer* in the tix com- munitie* may materially ben- efit individually. F. T. HILL & CO., Ltd.

HILL & Co., Limited, Markdale | ^0#0O00«O01»O^OO(»OO0OOOOO00O<»<»©©€»@@©a©©0©{S^@O^^©«| Wool Marketing 1924 promises to be tTie banner year in the amount of wool which will be shippol to the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers. More applications are being received than over before. Special loading days in Grey County will be held as heretofore. In r.i21 over 20,000 pounds of wool shipped; in lt»22 there were 208 farm- er.s shipped 38,033 pounds and in iy23 appro.ximatcly 225 farmers ship- ped 30,000 pounds. The prices this season are higher than for some time. The markets seem iirni .'â- o that prospects are ideal. This, in addition to a decreasing hand- ling co.st, makes the co-operative sale of wool a real attractive "reposition to sheep farmers in Grey county. The Department of Agriculture has always handled the paper twine and sacks which the Canadian Co-operat- ive Wool Growers supply. This year the supplies can again be secured from the local office. Paper twine is used to tie each Heece. It is prcfei-able to any other cord used as there are no threads to become detached, which will not break down. Sisal strands from ordinary binder twine will not scour from the wool hence will be carried into the cloth. Better to leave each fleece untied than to use binder twine. Parties having wool for sale should try the selling to the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers on the grad- ed basis. If any have never shipped befoi'e. why not send a few fleeces for a trial. It will not cost anything and the results will usually be quite gratifying. O. A. C. Semi-Centenial The Semi-Centenniaal celebration of the 0. A. C. has been completely arranged for. The special day set aside for Grey county farmers is Fri- day, June 13th. It is hoped that a large number of representatives from Grey county will be on hand. Special anangements may be made by the Grey county branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. If any are interested, it is hoped they will eoni- niuiticate with the Grey county office. Some desire to motor; others wish to go by train; while others prefer to motor to the nearest C.N.R. station and go by train from that point. Wliich do you profer? The C.P.R. has 15,000 miles of rail- way in Canada, and controls 5,102 miles in the United States. It com- prises 00 chartered companies subsi- diary to the parent company, whose mileages are included in the total, ft owns and operates 13 jM>tt' ls and 16 bungalow camps. It ha^HJea going anil lake traffic vessels, with 450,000 gross tonago. It cmplovos between "5,000 and 100,000 enipoyees. 50' < of its stock is held in Great Britain, 21'; in Canada and 20'; in the Unit- ed .States. Us assets exceed over one billion dollars. It is a corpora- tion absolutely controlled within the British Kmpire and that control is being strengthened as the years go on.
