THE STANDARD BANK OF CAJNAI3A, FLESHERTON BRANCHâ€" C. T. Batty, Manager IMaxine Lyons, Markdale, I Wins Miss McPhail's Prize I I â-  â-  â-  ^Goes To Ottawa When Parliament Opens â€" Is Only I I Years of Age and Gave Fine Address â€" 15 In The Contest THE PEPTIMIST I It is many a day since the audi- I torium of the higrh school has seen ' auch a crowd as congregated within its walls on Saturday afternoon last to witness the public speaking con- test mothered by Miss McPhail, M.P., with the object of promoting this art among the school children of the i county. The large audience of 400 people is all the evidence required to prove that her efforts have been amazingly successful. There were sixteen contestants present, only one of the list failing to enter, the prize winner of Colling- wood township school fair, Harold Bowser. Had this young man been present every township in the county would have been represented except of Commons are elected by the people of Canada, on the franchise of both sexes, the Dominion being divided into constituencies for the purpose of election. WTiile the House of Commons and the Senate, with the consent of the Governor-General, enact the laws. Their enforcement is entrusted to the Executive Council, which is really the government of the country. The Executive Council or Cabinet, whose members are chosen from the House of Commons and the Senate, has as its leader the Premier or Prime Min- ister, at present Hon W. L. Mackenzie King. Now the Executive Council must possess the confidence' of the House of Commons and thus you see The peptimist is one who works with most exceeding vim and sets example to the shirlts who may keep tab on him. So many men with dragging feet go to their tasks each day, with frowns they shuck the ears of wheat and thresh the bales of hay. With scowls they ply the shining saw or wield the useful chum; they're only happy whenk they draw the pay they think they earn. And when there is a slump in trade, and workmen must be fired, these delegates are first to fade â€" they've made the bosses tired. The peptimist has taken pride in lab- ors safe and sane, whatever tool he j may have plied, a corkscrew or 8 plane. He did not go with dragging^ step when morning whistles blew; in. every motion there was pep, no sulky fit.s he threw. And when a slump in trade appears, and workmen are laid off, the boss announces through his tears, "We'll keep this hustlin? lotf. We can't afford to let him go he's such a useful man; we'll keep him, though CO Turn and Joe we muat attach the can." This peptimist ia in demand wherever commerce dwells; he makes his progress through the Land, and wears his string of bells.- Walt Mason Read The Advance "Small Advts." Normanby.
