The pupils taking part all did their parts remarkably well, and the program was ijuite a lengthy cne. Some of the fea- tuies efpecially worthy of mention were the dunibell drill by a pretty bunch ol high school girls, the singing uf the Largo family, u kitchen band, Highland Scliot- issclie by another bunch of pretty young ladies, readings by Misses K. Acheson tnd Mabel Swift, and a most laughab e thing Women's Rights in picture and simg. Mus Uulae also gave two much appreciated violin solos, and the resident clergy all made short addresses while they gave out the diplomas and certili- cates. The entertainment in every way was one of the most successful ever "iven by the school, and bot!> teachers and pupils are to be congratulattd on their work. The proceeds imounced to over 870. The Bylaw adopting iho county loads system for this county has been approved by tha Lieut. -Governor and the County Council at its session last week appointed Mr. John Johnston, Reeve of Keppel, as road commissioner for the county at a salary of $l.")0O, he to pay all travelling cipeuses", but the county will supply liiin with H ^hW auto and keep it in repair. Mr. Johnston has been in munioipal lite for nineteen years and represented his township in Council for the past eleven years. He has had considerable experi- encu in roadinaking. It is thought that the govorniaeni will adopt the whole four inter-county roads suggested, on which they will pay t)0 per cent. The County has now taken over the cimnty roads and no more statute labor will be done on them. The County of Grey was one of the last to adopt this scheme. We believe there are only about three counties in the province that have not taken up this progressive work. A good roads conimittte of live waa appointed to pass accounts.

A GREATER NEED INSPIRES A GREATER PRODUCTION And to assist this greater production we are prepared to "do our bit". We have decided to buy Milling Feeds ia Car lots, and distribute it to the farmers of this community and those of Priceville at MILLER'S PRICE in car lots. This is an exceptional offer but these are exceptional times. Pork and bacon are needed badly by the Allies and in this way, we hope you, Farmer, will assist in this great need. Under the following conditions can this only be accomplished : "That you will lift the tiuantity you buy at the station when [he car is on the track ' "That every farmer buy at least five luimlred pounds either Bran, Shorts, Middlings, etc." "That a deposit be left to your credit when the order is placed ; the balance to be cash when the feed is lifted," This means "FEEDS_ATCOST" We hope you will enter into this arrangement with great vigor. Place your order now for what you want. The sooner you place your order the sooner will get the feed. We mean so start right away. Get in on the first car lot. Watch for our announcement next week.
