Banking Service and Prosperity Prosperity on the farm is large- ly dependant on factors beyond the realm of the farmer's control. There must be a god market demand for piroducts and the production costs must be kept in proper relation with market returns. Our Branch Mana- ger is thoroughly familiar with the business of fanning and ready to as- sist in can-ying your farm program to a successful conclusion. THE i STANDARD BANK OF ClAJ4>VO.A.

A Fine Motor Trip The Advance taaii took a litljle motor trip last week by way of Han- over, Neustadt, Cliiford, Harriston, Fordwich, Arthur, Grand Valley and Orangeville, back home. The season ia very backward over this whole route, and down in West and East Luther much water is still lying on the land, while no spring work has been done. The trip covered eleven townships â€" Glenelg, Bentinck, Norm- anby, Minto, How.ck, Arthur, West and East Luther, Amaranth and Mel- ancthon and Protoi. In this round we saw no finer country than our own here at home, an 1 nothing quite ao advanced with spri.ig work. At Har- riston we had the pleasure of calling on old Flesherton friends, Mr. and Mrs. H. Quigg, an J Clifford Blakely; at Grand Valley we found Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tate (nee Christine Rich- ardson), who are quite happy and prosperous, being owners of two fine farms. It brought back many happy memories to meet these old friends again. For the benefit of Bre'er Lands- borough of the Grand Valley Star, who was out when we called, presuim- ably fishing for suckers (human or otherwise we do not know), we wish to say that Grand Valley is one of the most picturesque and charming little towns that we have encountered in our travels, and the only place (outside of Flesherton) that we have ever fett we could spend a lifetime without regret. In Arthur we met the wonderfully gifted editor of the Enterprise, Mr. Rafter, who has been totally blind since he was three years of age, yet publishes as spicy and cleverly edited sheet which is really a credit to the town; and the people of Arthur are probably the most loyal subjects to their home paper that can be {found in Ontario. There is no sending out of town for work over there. Mr. Rafter carries a cane, but few people who meet him on the street would know he* was blind if they were not acquainted with him. He goes all over town and does business by him- self. On the return he even knows the touch of his own door step and always makes unmistakable connec- tion. Dr. McFarlane is doing a splendid business since going from Priceville a few years ago. We only succeeded in getting in touch vidth him by telephone. Arthur has a very handsome mem- orial situated on a central public square â€" one of the finest we have seen. It is a great credit to the people of Arthur. Mrs. G. Swanton Passed I Peacefully on Thursday I â€" I There passed away at her home on the Toronto Line, north, Artemesia, on Thursday of last week, April 28th, one of Artemesia's oldest residents in the person of Mary Ana Caldbeck, beloved wife of the late George Swanton. The deceased had been ill for the past year and a half, but ' i^ecained a keen mind up to the last few days of her ilness. On Sunday April 24th she became unconscious and passed peacefully away on Thurs- ; day evening after only regaining consciousness once during that per- , iod. The late M!rs. Swanton was I eighty-nine years of age in February ' last. ! The late Mrs. Swanton was born in j Ireland in 1838 and came to Canada ! with her parents, the late- Mr. and I Mrs.â€" -George Caldback, when only I a year and a half old. They settled I at Innisf il, staying there for six years I then moving to what is now Artemes- ia township when she was seven . years of age. The late George Cald- I back was one of the first settlers ; in Artemesia township and built his I home one and a half miles north of \ Flesherton, the part now standing being the fire place, which is in a good state of preservation. On February 22nd, 1864, she was married in Flesherton to Mr. George Swanton by Rev. T. J. Jackson and the union was blessed with five child- ren, four of whom are now living : Lidzie, (Mrs. W. J. Davis) of Donald, Wash.; Minnie (Mrs. J. W. Davis) of Artemesia Township; Robert on the old home and William of the east back line, Artemesia. Her mother passed away on September 18th, 1918 in her 101st year, while her husband prede- ceased her on the 12th of March, 1908. The funeral took place on Monday, . May 2nd to Flesherton cemetery, her pastor, Rev. Jos. Harrower, of the : United church, conducting the service at the house and grave. ! The pallbearers were five grand- ' sons, John, Earl, Clare, Chas. and Ed. Davis and J. W. Wright. Prince Arthur Lodge Receives D.D.G.M. Visit An interesting event took place on Thursday evening of last week in Masonic circles in town when R. W. Bro. A. E. Colgan, District Deputy Grand Master, paid his official visit to Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333. A large gathering of local members and visitors from Durham, Dundalk, Owen Sound, Meaford and Markdale and other places were in attendance. A first degree was put on by W. M. Robt. Down, assisted by several past Masters and were favorably com- mented upon by the R. W. Bro. Col- gan in his address. Bro. J. F. Hay, P.D.D.G.M., and E. A. Hay, of Dur- ham, gave short addresses, as also did Bro. L. G. Campbell of Markdale. The banquet at the close was held in Chalmer's United Church and,the tables were nicely decorated with flowers and heavily laden with the eatables. A unique departure from the usual custom was the invitation extended by the lodge to the ladies to partake of the banquet along with their husbands, an innovation not ob- served by other lodges in the district. The program consisted of solos by Miss Stewart and Mr. Hardwick, a reading by Dr. L. G. Campbell, toasts to the King, the Craft, etc., and an address by R. W. Bro. Colgan. The Feversham orchestra supplied music during the course of the banquet and also assisted in the program. The evening was much enjoyed by the large crowd present, some one hundred and seventy-five persons sit- ting down to the banquet.
