Some of the big cities are again arranging for the carrying out of "daylight saving." Many people, es- pecially those living in the rural dis- tricts, see no advantage in meddling with the clock. As it is, 'whether in summer or winter, anyone can save daylight by getting up when the sun is first in evidence, and stay- ing on the job till the great orb goes down. There is absolutely no good to be served by squabbling over the matter.

Real Furniture Talk Up until the present time, we have been up again'5t it to reahv compete with the catalogue prices on Dining Room Furniture, but we have at last located where we can compete with these prices Space will not permit us to mention only one suite, but if any other siiite takes your eye in he catalogue, call in and just let us show you we can compete with it. Look at Page 336 in the Catalogue on top of the page. Now look at ours. We have nearly the identical suite in Birch Wood, finished in Walnut, only ours is finished in Duco Finish and our suite is the latest turned out, hav- ing the tui^ned legs, which is the latest on the market. Our price for next two weeks for this Suite of Buffet, Table, and 6 Chairs, is $97.00, or nine piece Suite in- cluding China Cabinet for $125.00. For the benefit of any who have not yet seen thi.s duco finish, we will demonstrate to any person that this finish is not marked in any w^y very easily , for w'e will pour boiling water over it any time, to show this finish is proof against anything hot; the problem of being always afraid someone will set a hot cup on your table is at last solved, so if you have any notion of any new furniture, just call and let us demonstrate the good qualities of this suite, which is also finished in 3 tone effect.* This is a very close price on this suite and we are looking for some sales in the next two weeks. Now you will notice from Week to week that we are trying to co-operate with you to live up to our slogan of SERVICE, by being able to offer Furniture at as good a price as the catalogue houses. Thos.

David .lamieson, chairman, on Wednesday, and contains a comprehensive review of the committee's activiiies during the past year, as well as some import- ant recommendations, the chief of which have to do with marketing. A provincial co-operative council is rec- ommended, and also the inauguration of an Ontario Cattle Pool, along the lines of the Manitoba plan. h is reported that growers of small fruits and vegetables urge the necessity of tariff protection. The practice of exporting fresh killed beef to the old land is considered practicable, in spite of the fact that "correspondence with the Dominion Minister of Agricul- ture on this head has not brought forth points of comomn agreement on future policy.
