While there have been about the usual number of communicable diseases, no serious conditions arose and the health of the town has, on the whole, been excellent. The Christmas Market to be held shortly, promises to eclipse those of previous years, successful as they have been. A growing inâ€" terest in the market has been in evidence, especially during the past year or two, and with a lengthy list of cash and other prizes including merchandise, to be awarded to those who excel in the various classes, keen interest is being manifested and it undoubtedly will prove an added incentive to the producer to display the very choicest products. . * "® At this time is particularly reflected the spirit of Christ, the memory of whose birth is especially commemorated at Christmas.

Waterloo is again to have two events which in previous events have been associated with this time of the year, a Christmas Market and a Horse Show, both of which will be held on Saturday, December 21st. + Pm B oc oo Ee on nc nte s m Patrons of the market may be assured that the finest products of the farm will await them at the Christmas market and all indications point to a recordâ€"breaking attendance both of farmers and townspeople. It will afford a splendid opportunity to the farmers to readily dispose of their produce and an equally welâ€" come opportunity to householders to supply their tables with the choicest of table delicacies. The revival of the horse show which is again to be held this year, will doubtless also attract a large number. There are many cash prizes and cups to be awarded to winners in the various events to be judged which should not fail to ensure a fine list of entries. Everyâ€" thing points to this being also a most successâ€" ful event. â€" The people of the surrounding district as well as those residing in the community should not overlook attending these two outstanding events of the year.

All citizens by coâ€"operating to prevent fires, and by exercising the utmost caution and preventive measures, could greatly assist in reducing the heavy loss from this It is further emphasized that manufacâ€" turers who pay the largest premiums, add these, with other items of expense, to the cost of their product, and this is all paid by the final conâ€" sumer. The bread we eat, the clothes weâ€" wear, the books we use, and the machinery we operâ€" ate, all have in their cost, a part of the national fire losses. A writer on the subject of our national fire loss, the reduction of which is earnestly desired by all who have the interests of the country at heart, recently discussed the quesâ€" tion as to who‘pays fire losses. Many are doubtâ€" less under the impression that every time the fire bell rings one or more insurance companies suffer loss. This, however, is only partially true. The loss sustained is only for a temporary period. It is pointed out that insurance comâ€" panies are but collectors and distributors of the fire loss. They pay the losses as they occur, thus enabling the reâ€"establishment of business, but collect all such amounts, with the cost of doing business, in the premiums of succeeding years. The rates paid are large or small in proâ€" portion to the fire losses. prove attractive, and it is welcomed by “{ who feel that the right kind of settlers for this country are those who "settle."

The districts to be served by Ontario‘s latâ€" est daily newspaper are thriving communities, and the amalgamation places the publishers in a position to still more efficiently promote the interests of the municipalities in which the new daily publication circulates. The Port Colborne Citizen has been serving its community with increasing effectiveness year by year, and while its disappearance as a separate newspaper will doubtless be regretted by citizens of that place, the merging of the two publications will afford opportunities for inâ€" creased service to the two communities, esâ€" pecially since the amalgamation makes possible the issuing of a daily publication, which is to be known as the Wellandâ€"Port Colborne Evening Tribune. mnno-fl:t.a--u.-u oeviink HEpEue 4 viks P Â¥HERKEPUT tss tve Pamily Reudien" iiee wes my o/| â€" For the Busy Farmer The past decade has witnessed a considerâ€" able number of amalgamations in the newspaper field and still another has been consummated with the merging of the Welland Tribune and the Port Colborne Citizen which took place reâ€" cently.

Other homes besides theirs would miss the older generation this Christmas. Peggy began enumerating them in her mind. sound of the chimes, but between shopping ventures her mind dwelt constantly on this Christmas problem past summer. The two aunts felt as Peggy did, that Christmas memories would be less poignant if they didn‘t try to have the customary reunion. And instead of the big brick house with its cheery fireplaces, in the friendly little town, they lived in an apartment in the city. Not much Christmas atmosphere about an apartment Peggy reflected. But something must be done about Christmas for Bob‘s sake, if for no other reason. It wouldn‘t seem much like Christmas for Bob to come home from college to just her and Dad.

Until recently the use of barley on the farm was restricted to the feedâ€" ing of live stock. In Germany, howâ€" ever, barley is used for a multitude of purposes. Millions of bushels yearly are used in the manufacture of malt coffee. Besides this an enorâ€" mous quantity of the grain is used in the manufacture of bread, breakâ€" fast foods, buscuits, infant and inâ€" valid preparations, tonics, condiâ€" ments and food preserves. In view of this, it would seem that barley is destined to occupy a position of increasing importance in all farm roâ€" tations that may be devised with a view to obtaining some relief from _ The gradual increase in the numâ€" ber of select bacon hogs indicates two things, namely: better breeding stock and more attention to rations. Competitions conducted last summer show that there is a very good profit over the cost of feed if the pigs are bred right and have the necessary feeds in the right proportion. Al though Danish bacon still brings a higher price than Canadian on the British market, the quality of our ‘bacon is constantly improving and prospects are that with the improveâ€" ments that have already been taking place, the time is not far distant when Canadian bacon will be on an equal plane with that of any country in the world. With the coming of winter, fire hazards on the farm are on the inâ€" crease. The tractor and the gasoâ€" line engine have also introduced a new fire menace and care should be taken in their operation and storage.
