And the years are long for Motherhood With the growing girl and boy, Wtfh the clothes that wear and the socks that tear And the tasks her time employ. Yes, the years are long for Motherhood When the school-day time has come And her charges "burn" as they strive to learn The elusive, baffling sum. But the children long for Mother gone, When the long, long years have sped For the love she gave and her spirit brave, And the faithful life she led. ada. She was invited to come out two years ago by the United Church W.M.S., following her services as in- terpreter to Rev.

The clubs cannot be run without consider- able outlay for equipment and othei expenses and it is up to the players themselves, to assist in keeping down the expenses to a minimum if sports are to continue here, in particular. During the past winter the manage- ment of the hockey team placed a fine outfit on the ice and they did good work, an asset to the life of the town The games were not patronized as they should have been, from various causes, and the expenses overshadow ed the receipts in every game. Since then euchres and dances and a splen- did contribution from an old boy has reduced the indebtedness consider- ably but there is a small balance yet to be paid. The club has bought uniforms for the players and these are supposed to be handed in at the Pres., Mrs. A. Morrison, Meafori:| end ^ eaen season, but so far this year it has rot been done. If the players do not co-operate in a propei manner we shouldn't be a bit sur- prised if there world be very little hockey here next winter, as the com- mittee is becoming tired of holding the empty bag at th? close of the Baby Bands.

Woollen Mill Operating The Flesherton Woollen Mill is again operating under a full staff, after being shut down for several weeks making necessary repairs to machinery. During the winter Mr. John Nuhn Jr. installed two pew machines, one a fulling mill, to shrink blankets, replacing an old machine and the other a loom to manufacture reversible blankets of various colors and designs. Mr. A. W. Colgan, an employee, is at Strathroy at present, taking a course in the operating of this class of loom. Mr. Nuhn will pay special attention to this line of manufacturing of pure wool products. Mr. Howard Oram of Toronto ha? been engaged as a salesman and will introduce the many lines of wool products to the retail trade and have charge of the office work. The Flesherton Woollen Mill is oui chief industry and and it is to bt hoped that Mr. Nuhn secures his shart of the pure wool products trade. NOXIOUS WEEDS Mr. J. A.
