GREY FARMERS TOUR The contemplated tour of Grey j County fartr.ers through the counties ) of Wellington, Wentworth, Lincoln, Welland, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant and Waterloo on June 20 and 21 should be welcomed by the farmers with open aims. The tour is being sponsored by T. Stewart Cooper, Ag- ricultural representative for Grey County, a-nd will be along the liifs of the one held by the Wentworth farmers to Grey County. It gives a person a fine opportunity to view the garden of Ontario at a favorable time and to see how others are firm- ing in sister couniies. A stop will also be made at the Ontario .Agricul- tural College at Guelph, and other places of interest will be Simco-;, Brantford, Paris, Gait and Kitchen- er. It is an opnortunity that should not be missed as every minute of the trip should be exceedingly interest- ing. I EDITORI.M. NOTES Most farms or streams have signs "no fishing or trespassing" posted to keep out intruders. It would bo a relief to find a place where a per- son would he welcome to fish.without tresspassing even if an cmuniation â- was given. It will soon be that an honest man will have no plc'.cc to throw a line. * « • With this is.suo The .Advance com- mences its 48th yrar in serving the i.nterests of the village and survourul- ing country and has seen n pnrind of steady growth and oxpansion.

Brown was initiated into Masonry the ceremonial cha'irs being occunied by four sons, a son-in-law and a brother, all of whom are past mast-irs, one now occupying the office in the Oril lia lodge.

Dear Editor:-We have had a very dry spring, the seeding of wheat wa? freneral on April 24th and the cnvp went in fine. Until May 2D theio had been only one light r.hower of rain since secdii'g r.tartod, and we need a heavy rain now, as some of the late sowing is coming unevenly. We are always pleased to got The Ad- vance, as it keeps us in touch with my wife's ol<l home. All being well we intend making a trip to Ontario this month. It is ten years sirce we came west, so expect to sec "(ome changes. Yours sincerely C. L H. JORDLSON.

DOWN & SONS, Dealers FLESHERTON, ONTARIO A receipt from the Police Court Clerk is not nearly as attrac* five as one from a Brake Service Station who has tested and re- lined your brakes. When you pay a fine â€" it's a total loss. Paying for a genuine Raybes- tos Brake Lining job saves money, and >he knowledge that you can stop safely, quick- ly and surely in any emergency saves your peace of mind. ALL cats today seek to approximate Cau^-sler "72" performance y\ by patterning after Chryskr engineering. But after diree yean of striving, how dose arc they to the "72'» today? No elMtr than they were four yean ago. As they have stnig^ed to approach, Chrysler "72" Las pulled amay and gaDopa around and past them with more than the ease of the old original Cfatysler sensation-car of 1924. There may be pocket-book reasons lot cfaoonng cats rf lesser price than the "72." There tim;Jy cannot be a valid reason for payii^ IS much or more for any car other than the "72." a» 2«Mi.
