to got ac quamted with the affairs of acton because those who have served in office come prepared to givi account of their stewardship there should be a good crowd at the town hall on friday night to

to sell to the united states he must make more than one occasionaltrip to new york city or florida says an american reader of the financial post these places he points out are not typical of the u s as a whole and their buying power amounts to only a fraction of the total for the whole country canada and canadians are universally popu lar all through the united states we are assured and m offering our goods we should capitalize on that goodwill to do that our products should be distinctively canadian both in content and label ing on the latter point this american speaks ptatttty use canahian symbols he says do not use crowns union jacks and similar devices because these to the average american buy mean england and not canada we remember too pointing out that everything else has

the meantime the fair has shown much advancement this year was the silver ubilee year many of us can recall when the big event of this kind was the fat slock show in guelph we ve always regretted that we didn t go to one of those events in guelph before it fold ed up so we like to get down to the royal n to ronto every once in a while not that there seems any likelihood of its folding up during our

event we didn t get lime lo jot through all the stock exhibits but we did find that halton county farmers are among the best this was particularly noticeable in the cattle exhibit and there seemed tarcely a section in either dairy or beef breeds where the names on the exhibit were not familiar to us the prominence of halton in agriculture was perhaps indicated best by the facl that this year it
