THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3rd. I921T X The Business of Agriculture FARMING is more than an occu- pation; it is a highly commercialized business which requires careful plan- ninjr and thouKrhtful execution. Bount- iful production is necessary but much effort is wasted unless the business of disposing, of \the year's output is properly nianajred. In conducting the business of the farm the Stand- ard Bank can play a prominent and useful part. Consult the managrer and learn how true co-oneration between banking and agriculture builds a more prosperous commm'iy. THE STANDARD BANK OF CAJ»IAJ3A. FLESHERTON BRANCHâ€" C. T. Batty, MawiQtT W. J. McAleer Successful Canadian in the U.S.A . Hammond, Indianna, is the proud ; possessor of a Canadian who has made i good in Uncle Sam's dominions, in the : person of Mr. W. J. McAleer, a crimin- . al lawyer of that city. The Lake I County Times has this to say of him: ] "W. J. ''Beat the Rope" McAleer, above, who, it is claimed, has beaten , the death penalty in all of the count- I less murder trials in which he has I participated in 35 years of practice, j is considering a request from Martin j J. Durkin, two-gun "shKek bandit" , and killer, to defend him in his ap- I preaching trial in Chicago. McAleer whose fees are said to be the high- est exacted by any criminal lawyer in the country, lives in Ham- mond, Indianna." Mr. McAleer was born at Woodford Ontario, and got his early schooling there, being a fellow pupil of the wife of Ye Editor.

Sloan celebra- ted their golden wedding on January' 26lh at their home on Stanley Street, Ladner, B. C. Quite a number of friends called during the afternoon and evening to congratulate the coup- le on their fifty years of married life, and all expressed the wish that they might be spared to celebrate their diamond jubilee. Mr. Sloan was born at Streetsville, Ont., seventy, two years ago, and Mrs. Sloan at Flesherton seventy years ago, and were married in Flesherton. Only one of the two sons, E. J. Sloan, was present for the memorable event; the other son, J. H. Sloan, Glendale, Cal- ifornia was liable to be present. The Advance wishes to extend con- grratulations to our old time friends, St. Columba Societies The regular meeting of the W. M. S. and Ladies' Aid of St. Columba United church, PriceviUe was held at the home of W. G. Watson on Thurs- day, February 18th. There was a good representation of the members present, who listened to a most ex- cellent program, and were later served with a delicious lunch. As the date of the meeting was so near- ly that of the World's Day of Prayer, a talk was given on this subject by Mrs. McCormack, the president. Pray- er then followed for Home Land, China and the Empire, led by Mrs. Riley, Mrs. A. Muir and Miss L. Math er. A further study of prayer, tak- en from the study book was given by Mrs. H. B. McLean and Miss Edith James. Mrs. H. B. McLean gave a delightfully rendered solo, and the meeting closed in the repeating of the Lord's Prayer in Unison. The Ladies' Aid made arrange- ments for a social to be held on St. Patrick's night in the basement of the church. Maybe Matty â€" "I wonder if Professor Kid- der meant anything by it." Charlieâ€" "By what?" Matty â€" "He advertised a lecture on "Fools" and when I bought a ticket, it was marked "Admit One." The evening lesson was from the Book of Job and the minister had just read, "Yea, the light of the wick- ed shall be put out" when immedi'> ately the church was in total dark- ness. "Brethren," said the minister witk scarcely a moment's pause, "in view of the sudden and startling fulfilment , of this prophecy, we will spend a few minutes in silent prayer for the electric light company."
