The following stores shall be closed on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 p. m. during June, July, Aug- ust and September : J. Hammel, Singhampton T.

Alexander Died At Owen Sound j Mr. Joseph Alexander, a former I resident of Flesherton and well known here, died in the Owen Sound hospital Wednesday morning of can- cer of the liver, from which he has ; been suffering for some time. We : believe Joe had no relatives in this country. He was between 65 and 70 years of age. Interment took place in Owen Sound. The Financial Post in an editorial in its issue of May 17th has some worth-while praise for Dr. D. Jamie- son, .M.P.P. for South Grey. The Post says: Ontario has a legislativ committee stud^-ing the agricuiltural situation with the object of recommendinij pol- icies that will improve conditions. Al- ready facts have been br^ aght out showing that farmers can double in- comese without increasing costs or working any harder than they do i.ow. It is merely a matter of applying bus- iness princples. If all farmers would run their farms wtih the same intelli- gence ^as do our sucessf ul business. concerns, the farmers would be equ- ally prosperous. A '7r<.at many of them are. The government made what would appear to be a wise choice in putting the member for South Grey, Dr. David Jamieson, at the head of the committee. He knows Canadian con- ditions from all important angles. He has proved by his own career that with reasonable intelligence, reason- able industry, any Canadian boy can get all- the comfort and satisfaction he desires without crossing the border. The doctor is a farmer's son who has lived his life, practised his profession, developed industries, all of them suc- cessfully, in a rural community that is unblessed by nature with little but a rocky soil, yet is most pi jsperous. The main stream that traverses his constituency is known as the "Rocky" Saugeen. Under hfs inspiration and business guidance, associated with a former member of the Legislature, Charles Bowman, and some local tal- ent, there has brown ud in his riding one of the largest furniture factories in Canada. That being well organ- ized and prosperous, the doctor lias turned his medical practice over to his son and is devoting his activities to public service and is making a hobby of reforestation and game propagation. He has acquired sever- al hundred acres of cut-over land in which he is planting thousands of young trees, among which are bred partridges, English pheasants and waterfowL .-Vll with the object of showing the farmers of the district another source of revenue. The doctor believes, from associa- tion with them, that all the average Canadian farmer wants is to be shown how to make the best out of his farm. He is ambitious to beat the world in quality of his products and wants to be protected by laws from the few who breed scrubs, grow inferior grains, make low-grade cheese, sell rancid butter, cheat in the packing of fruit and other wooden nutmeg an^ non-British methods. With such a chairman, with a good committee, and with a successftil farmer as minister of agriculture to understand and carry out -the recom- mendations of the committee we ought to have some very profitable results from the inquiry.

Jacob WiUiams, Eugenia During the past few weeks some very fine cedar telephone poles have been brought through town, the prop- erty of Mr. W. .A. .Armstron? of Flesherton. In past years we have seen some real large timber brought out, but these poles are as good as any of former days. They were cut around the 8th. 10th and 12th of Os- prey. Some of them reach sixty feet in length, while others are slightly shorter, but they are all fairly straight and of fine quality. This part of Grey county has been noted for its timber, but while it has been nearly all cut over there are parts where some excellent timber can be seciu-ed. 200,000 DOZ.
