Maxwell Presentation The L. 0. L. No. 666 and Maple Leaf Lodge No. 636 of Maxwell held a social evening for the members and their families in the Orange Hall on Tuesday, January 12th. A fine crowd assembled and thu time was passed ir: euchre and dancing until lunch was served. After lunch impromptu speeches were given by a number of L.O.L. and L.O.B.A. members at the close of which Sister Annie Long was presented with a lovely silk bed spread by the members of her Lodge in recognition of her services as treas- urer for nine years. The address was read by Sister Laura Seeley and the presentation made by Sister Elsie Pallister. Following \-3 the address read : Dear Sister Long It affords me much pleasure this evening on behall of. the members of this Maple Leal Ledge No. 530 to express our appre- ciation of your work as treasurer oi Hir .society ever since its organiza- tion on April 13th, 1923. Th'j interest you have shown in the work in general and in your own office in particular, is worthy of rec- more than $6,500,000. About 16 years ago it was negligible. "There is no doubt but that tobacco will rank as one of Ontario's greatest industries," declared the Minister. "The British narket is taking an increasing amount Of Ontario-grown tobacco and the do mestic consumption is also increasing. The Canadian High Commissioner in London informs me that our tobacco is highly regarded in England." The 1931 crop, due to favorable weather conditions, was the largest and of the finest, quality in the history of Ontario. U ignored trouble. there will likely be rgal About two hundred petitioners from the townships of Artemo-ia and Glcn- f\g and the village^ of Mnrkdale and Flesherton have requested the County Council to assist in securing an open Season for deer in (irey County. They have been doing considerable dam- ape to crops and they are becoming too numerous. However, it should be open only for the residents of (irey County to si.vurc this panic. It would Lc dangemu-; (or all concerned to hav u migration of hunters to tho County swamp? in search of thw fleet frame. A three day season vvoid i be about the right period for hunting. find even then most of the deer wnuM escape. I" our humble opinion Japan it following the wrong course in an at- tempt to prevent the Chinese from boycotting of Japane.-o. goods. \Vhilt tin* is reported as the major excuse fo- their fighting the Chinese at Shanghai it appears as though Japar was set-king to control that rich terr- itory around the Whanpo river. Japan is after more territory for her over- populated country and the only ap- parent course, to her, is to secure it by conquest. First Korea, then Man- churia and now Shanghai have fallen to Japan through force. That is ho\v the British Empire was brought to jjether and Japan is following in her footsteps. However the Great Powers \vil' protect their citizens in China and any injuries to them will bring Rravc possibilities. China and Japan were not participants in the World War and did not feel its after effects as have the participating allies. Japan's ruthlessness has antagonized the whole <"'hri*tian world and poss- ibly r.he will now learn her lesson. The Christian world does not want any more war, l>ut it may be that a new Imvid will be obliged to wield hi.- eling and put Nippon out of business On a motion by Reeve Mercer of Markdale, seconded by Reeve Brig- ham of Hanover, the Council decided !a ask Hon. Dr. Robb, minister of health for Ontario, to resind legis- lation to prevent hospitals with les? than fifty beds from training nurses, lleeve Brigham, in speaking on the motion, stated that this would cause a preat hardship to the hospitals anil nurses alike. Some families could ognition. Wo thank you heartily for not afford to send- their daughters j to be trained. The smaller hospitals, if thN legislation remain:; in force, will have to hire trained nurses, add- inir to the expense. The expense the county will have to benr. or the hospitals will be forced to close theii loops, stated Reeve Brigham. Warden Bell stated briefly that he was heart- ily in favor of the motion. The mot- ion was carried unanimously.

A Farmers' Deputation will go to Queen's Park to interview the pro- vincial government on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 9th, the day before the opening of the legislature. Thi-s deputation is the result of a desire on the part of the United Far- mers of Ontario to give expresion to rural thought and opinion in those trying times. Acordingly, the lea'd- crs of the farm movement arranged through the Honorable T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, for an inter- view with the government at 2 p.m., Tuesday, February 9th, and extended the facilities of their organization to ths widely scattered and variously organized groups of farm people throughout the province. It will, therefore, present an oportunity for farmers to get together to unify their ideas and gain the ear of governing powers. The deputation will consist of dei- ejr.itjs from township councils, far- mers' clubs appointees from mass meetings or other farm groups, as well as interested individual* who can find it po.-sible to attend. Important matters having to do with taxation and legislation affect- ing agriculture and municipal affair? will be dealt with. They will point out that agriculture, as an industry is today bearing the brunt of the economic depression by producing, a? farmers are forced to do, below the cost of production and by carrying an undue -share of the tax burden. They will demand greater econosiy in gov- ernmental expenditure; they will de- mand certain relief measures; and they will protest against proposed legislation which would in any way interfere with local control over local :'f fairs in the municipal field. In order that the issues to be intro- duced may be discussed, and tabulated and in order that spokesmen may be appointed to present their case to the government all delegates and others intending to join in the conference and deputation are requested to meet at the United Farmers Building, corner Duke anil George Streets, Toronto, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of the date above mentioned.

A keen demand for dairy cattle that have been T.B. test- ed is noted and several carloads havi gone to the United States.
