MISSIONARY THANKOFFERIXG ANOTHER REVERSE A PROSPEROUS FAR.MER .A. farmer who lives less than seven miles from Mount Forest called the other day to renew his subscription to a farm paper. The number of Auction Sales came up in conversa- tion. The farmer said that if any man failed in farming here it was his own fault. Hard work, fair thrift and good judgement make for success in this business as well as others. He himself had begun farm- ing on very little. Now he has a 200-acre farm, well equipped with buildings, stock and implements, all free of debt and $3,000 to the good besides. And he had run a car for eight years, too. .\nd he is not an old man either. He put the emphasis on work. There are many others such as he around here. â€" Mt. Forest Con. and Rep. MERCHANTS PREFER THURSDAY AS BANK HOLIDAY The Mission Band -«t St. John's church, held its Easter Thankoffering meeting Monday, at 4.15. The chair was occupied by the President, Flor- ence McFadden, while the Secretary, Helen Heard, took the minutes. After the opening hymn was sung, the pastor, Rev. W. p.. Clements, led in prayer. Elizabeth Bentham and Marie Patton sang, "Seeking the Master.'' Harold Best read the story of tke first Easter morning as griven in St. John's gospel. Lor een Batty sang, "Beautiful Lillies, and Little Georgina Blajkbum sang, "Jesus Loves Me,'' in wonderfully clear tones. Seven little girls with lighted candles sang sweetly and en- thusiastically. Mrs. Murray gave a synopsis of the study book, •'Brav- est Adventures," which has been used in the band, occasionally asking questions, which were answered by the younger members. The hymn. "We've a Story to Tell to the Na- tions," was sung, and Mrs. Cargoe the president of the auxilary. closed the meeting with prayer. The coll- ection amounted to $27.75. Home made candies were passed round. .A goodly number of mothers and friends of the band were present. The Alberta coal business has slow- ed down and stopped and at present seeniB definitely blocked. Only eoneesaions from the four parties to the contract can start it moving again. Premier Ferguson does not approve of the new $9 rate as he considers it might prejisdice the cost case before the railway boanL Sir Henry Thornton disapproves the IT rate for the same reason. The Al- berta government is in doubt. In the meantime, it is said, that the anthracite operators are planning an active counter attack on the Ontario I market. Prices will be cut and an ef- : fort be made to eliminate entirely the I .\lberta coal. Whatever happens it • looks probable that Ontario is going ito have cheaper coal for next winter.

Fisher of town, has pur- chased the drug business which he has been managing at Gogama, Nor- thern Ontario, and will be in partner- ship with the doctor in that %-illage. Merchants at Sarnia, Chatham and other points, through the medium of boards of trade, are urging a Thurs day afternoon for the banks instead of Saturday afternoon. Saturday is always a busy day in Ontario towns and cities. Farmers come in for miles arocmd, and many stores do 50 per. cent of their business on Satur- days. The bank closes at noon. Mer- chants and farmers, if they want to use the facilities of the bank, must crowd everything into the morning. So the Banker's association will be asked to permit banks to make the change. Another important reason why many merchants would like to see the change 3ays the Canadian Grocer, is the fact that so much money has to be held over until Monday morning: hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost every year through burglaries. Merchants have been urged to bank their money frequently, so that if a raid were made on the cash till, little would be lost. By keeping the bank open Saturday afternoon, it would un- doubtedly reduce, to a large extent, the quantity of stolen money, says The Canadian Grocer. Four acres of celery ground at Thedford was sold under mortgage a few days ago and brouht $825 an acre. Thirty-cwo yeajs ago 161 acres of uncleared land in the same section was bought for $S.00 an acre.

Trying i again she found the women still talk- ^ing. The third time she tried and came exasperated she broke into the 'conversation, -'Madam, I smell your beans burning," she annoiuiced crisp- ly. A horrified scream greeted the remark and the young woman was enabled to put in her call. One difference between an old ' bachelor and an old maid is that i the bachelor is likely to think he is ; well off and the old maid knows she j isn't.
