Parkinson, who has a ranch near Guelph. The price paid for the pair, which are purebred of b?st ouat- ity. was about one thou.<>and dollars.

Wefc.;r on Wed- nesday, February 25th, when they entertained Mr. Rufas Wickens and family, it being his T4th birthday. The family of two sons and four daughters were all present with the of .Sask. Mr.^Wickens has li'-ed 68 years in the valley and accepts the bcst wishes of his many friends. The debate between Vandeleur and Kimbeiiey young people was a much enjoyeo event, the subject being re- solved, "that the advancement of a country is due more to its natural resources than to its people," Kim- berley having the aifirmaiive and aVndeleur the negative. The affir- niativ was the winnei:. Both sides a-i to be congratulated on "'digging up gems" which were really fine. The affirmative was taken by Miss .Alrneda Weber and Miss Kathleen Hutchinson, the negative by Mr. A. Buchanan and Mrs. F. Davis. The judges of. the debat? were Fevs. Eaton and Harrower of Flesherton and Mr. E. D, Carruthers. We also enjoyed Mr. Eaton's solo.

PRAYER FOLLOWLD BY WORKS The town of Weston- has t'Vsen high in the esteem of the sport-lov- ing Dublic by the magnificent, spirit displayed by its citizens to one of iheir lacrosse "idols"' when misfor- tune befell him by way of an auto accident, which confined him to the hospital for two mojiths suffering with a fractured skull, says the Port Elgin Times. We refer to "Bob" Stephenson, who arrived home about a week ago to recuperate from his long siege of suffering and incapaci- tation. When it â- was feared that one of their team, which they cheered to victory on the lacrosse campus on many occasions, was going to join "the great majority." as a result of his . injuries, an appeal by way of prayer was offered up in all their churches in this, his greatest battle. While not proffesing to be a model Christian, yet Bob believes that th> prayers, like their cheers, had much to do in winning the battle. . Nor was this all. These sa,me citizens, by means of voluntary subscriptions and benefit concerts, paid over $1100 for his hospital and medical expens- es and when he was leaving for home the Mayor of the towrn called him into his office and handed him a $50 cheque. Trdly, this is a wonderful spirit shown by the people of Wes- ton toward one of their popular la- crosse stars. "Bob" certainly must have won their he«irts, and can' you blame him when he says, "1 am sure, going back." Including purchase price of cars up- keep and depreciation as well as the expense of maintaining ntotor highways. Hon. W. F. Nickle says â- he people of Ontario spent more money on automobiles last year than the total value of the crop of the province. That is something to think about, ^ M??. F.
