It has been also noted that the residents of the community are brought together to take part in a single enterprise, and the fairs go a long way toward the removal of animosities and factionalism. In many cases every member of the community is included in the program from the babies entered in a baby show to the elders who are placed in charge of exhibits of vgrious sorts. The general citizenry ofter are placed on committees which arrange the details of the program and exhibits. Norman O. Hipel was the choice of the Liberal Party in the south riding to contest the constituency in the interests of that party. Mr. Hipel, too, has been active municipally and has given years of service to the community as a former Mayor of Preston and member of the town council and as President of the Board of Trade. He has always taken a keen interest in civic matters. It is estimated that attendance at these provincial and community fairs ran near into a million last year and besides these there were other large fairs. With such large attendance millions of dollars change hands and the trend has been toward education at fairs rather than the mere display of products. Fairs have been found to be effective means of instructing the population in more efficient methods of producâ€" tion. The people attend with their cares cast aside temporarily and their minds open either to amusement or instruction so that a lasting impression is left by the information given to them through interesting educational exhibits. Mark M. Donald, reeve of Preston and forâ€" mer warden of Waterloo County, will be the Conservative standard bearer. He is well known throughout the district, having given efficient public service as a member of the the council of the town of Preston and of the county council. He is a former newspaper publisher and editor and has done not a little to advance the interests of the county. The candidates of the two parties are publicâ€"spirited citizens who in the communities it which they reside have shown a commendâ€" able desire to forward the interests of the municipalities. They are both equipped to renâ€" der excellent service to the constituency they are seeking the privilege of representing as well as to the province in general. It will be for the electors to decide as to which candidate is to have the honor of representing the riding of South Waterloo in the Ontario Legislature. It is the season for fairs all over the counâ€" try and it is interesting to note the interest that industry in general is showing in the small as well as the larger community fairs. | â€"CANDIDATES IN SOUTH WATERLOO | | COUNTRY FAIRS HAVE WIDESPREAD | | VALUE | SUBSCRIPTION RATES Que year, in advance ......_..........._...â€" in United States, per year DEPARTMENTS SETTLE DOWN TO WORK THE FREEPORT SANATORIUM are not what they were grior to formation of theâ€"Civil Service Commigsion: ‘Then a change of Government brought tiim menace of disamissal hdmmnwduuolmm&‘ ministration.

A The train was made up of four coaches; in the first was the laboratory in which samples of soil, brought to the train by visiting farmers, were tested for acidity, and from these tests recommendations were made as to the approxiâ€" mate quantities of lime required by the soils tested. The fishway overcomes a height of some forty feet of turbulent crashing water and is a means of ascent for many salmon which might otherwise not be able to battle their way to the spawning areas. This year a very large number of sockeye have been able to make their way over the natural falls. The coastal and inland waters of British Columbia are among the most productive salmon fisheries in the world and the quality of the salmon carried there is unsurpassed. The Seed Branch of the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture report that upwards of 10,000 farmers visited the soil improvement The Canadian delegation to the London Conference left here sanguine that some maâ€" terial progress will be made in the promotien of interâ€"Empire coâ€"operation in matters of trade. For the moment these are considered of more immediate concern to Canada than acaâ€" demic consideration affecting constitutional problems. The remarkably short time in which the pupils of the Waterloo schools vacated the buildings on the occasion of a recent inspection by the fire chief, indicates a clear understandâ€" ing of the requirements of the situation in case of a fire and the efficient arrangements made to cope with an emergency. The fact that the time to vacate the school buildings was lowered in the case of two schools shows prompt coâ€" operation on the part of the pupils as well as capable supervision by the teachers. An impressive march past of over 9,000 sockeye salmon was seen recently at Stamp River Falls, B.C. The fish took ten days to pass the falls by aid of the fishway constructed by the Canadian Government Department of Fishâ€" eries. Account of the fish was made by the Government Fisheries Guardian at the falls during ten hours of each day in the period. As compared with the number of sockeye using the fishway in theâ€"corresponding period of 1929, there was a very large increase this year. In 1929 the total was 3,512 as against 9,061 this year. The necessity of clearing a building quickly yet in an orderly manner is urgent when fire breaks out in a structure and the result of the fire test evidences the adequate preparations which have been made to meet such an emerâ€" gency.

They should then be taken off pasture and those selected for market sbhould be placed in small penned enclosures, provided with plenty of water and grit and kept clean. They should be fed heavily on whole corn, the ‘best medium for the fattening of geose, and about two weeks‘ heavy feeding should fit them for market. Twentyâ€"four hours before killing geese should be starved. ‘but given plenty of water.

M Current Crop Report Fall wheat is looking fairly well throughout the whole province, acâ€" cording to reports received, and the fine weather of October enabled the farmers in the southwestern peninâ€" sula to do late sowing. Many farmâ€" ers report the poorest crop of turâ€" nips in years, while sugar beets will yield about the same as in other seaâ€" sone. Considerable stocker cattle are being purchased, due to large yields of grains and low prices ofâ€" fered for samre. There are indicaâ€" tions of a good supply of Canadian seed corn for 1931. Dairy cattle are in keen demand in the restricted T.

A Tremendous Success By far the greatest success in its history was achieved at the 1930 Inâ€" ternational Plowing Maich staged last week on Highway No. 7, near the city of Stratford. Two new records were set on the second day of the match, when an estimated total of 40,000 people passed through the gates and when the entry list numâ€" bered 153, surpaseing by 44 the list for a single day in any previous year. The final two days of the match were equally successful, and the directons have every reason to feel proud of their achievement. Competitors came from every part of Ontario to take part in the variâ€" ous plowing contests. A departure this year was a competition for wo men, who made a remarkably fine showing. The site of the match was « picture, with hundreds of horses and tractors . pulling â€" keenâ€"edged plows through perfect soil to reveal row upon row of furrows, straight und true and crowned to perfection. for accredited cattle Agricultural School at Ridgetown was officially opened on October 20 by Acting Premier George 8. Henry Proper Ration Needed A hen may lay a few eggs early in the spring without receiving much feed or attention or she may lay at the end of the season when feed may be picked up in the fields, but the hen has not yet been developed that will lay without the proper ration during the fall and winter months. A good mash is important if the hens are to lay, and it should be before the birds all the time. If any one of the necessary elements required for the making of eggs is absent, proâ€" duction is impaired. Pullets require a little differentâ€"mash than the old hens and it is a mistake to house them together and have them feed from the same hopper. Homeâ€"grown ‘Ieeds with the addition of some purâ€" chased concentrates may be purâ€" chased that will supply the necesâ€" sary Ingredients to the bird. Chickâ€" ‘ens will pay dividends If properly housed and given the right rations. Motorists will be pleased to learn that the C.N.R. railway officials, K. &. W.
