I TIME CO CONSIDER SEED REQUIREMENTS ThereVs one thing you can say for this kind of weather â€" not many child- ren have been hurt while hanging on sleighs. There has long been disagreement a^ to whether or not machines dis- place labor permanently, and a fur- ther chapter is added by a United Stales magazine which states: "In 1880 only 34 per cent, of the popu- lation wore gainfully employed, but the percentage rose steadily until in 19.30 nearly 49 million people were employed at the highest wages and shortest hours in history. Weekly newspapers want the On- tario Government to publish at the end of each session of the Legislature a summary of the legislation passed in the form of government advertising. That would be a much more effective way of enlightening the people than buying the stuff in the Ontario Gazette, says the Peterbor- ough Examiner. DR. W. K. BOYD Formerly of Flesherton is opening a medical practice at 520 St. John's Road, Toronto, Telephone : LY i'M^ At the commencement of the new year farmers should estimate their seed requirements and investigate sources of supply. Those with suf- ficient supply of home produced seed should clean and grade it carefully, so as to sow the fewest possible of weed seeds and small steed which would only produce weak plants. Re- coids since the dawn of civilization prove the truth of the adage: "We reap what we sow.'' Good crops can- not be grown without good seed. There is an abundance of timothy and alsike seed this year in Canada but the supply of domestic red clover, alfalfa and sweet clover is low and should be obtained as early as pos- sible.. Seed grain is in good supply for 1(137 seeding except in the drought an as of Western Canada and in East- ern Quebec, where seed will need to he shi|>ped in before spring Artcmesia Township in 1863, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ,Iohn' Lyons. Mr. Hodgins was born at Proton Station, long before the railway was ever thought of, his birth occurring in the year 1854. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hodgins. They lived intermittently at Proton up till 1!H8, when they made that district their permanent abode. Since their marriage they have also lived in To- 1 onto, Shelburne, North Bay, Wey- lui-n, Sask., and Owen Sound. Mr. Hodgins, who has quite a re- putation as a checker player, was a member of the Owen Sound Checker .Association. Over 55 years ago he was on the ship Manitoulin when it took fire while going from Killarney to Manitowaning. It is said that 42 lives were lost. He stuck with the ship, which was beached and burned to the water's edge near Manitowan- ing. He is the only living survivor as far as he knows. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins retired from active farming four years ago and moved into Proton Station. Their surviving family comprises five sons end two daughters, namely: William John, in Toronto; Fred at home; Beit at Bracken, Sask.; Percy, Con. 16, Pi-oton; Charles in Proton; Mrs. W L. McLean, Regina, Sask., and Mrs Hugh Anderson. Owen Sound. Still in good health for their years, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins are looking forward to many .vears of happ.y married life. READ THE "SMALL ADVTS".

In comjjienting upon the matter, Mrs. Hanley objected warmly, but with a spirit of good fun, to being listed with the name of the woman who rocked the British Empire for a few brief days. ."We're not the same type of people at all. I don't understand it," she said. "Some of my friends did- n't think so either," she added, "They were quite sure I wasn't in her class." However, the honor of being the only woman Chief Magistrate in the Dom- inion, and what international fame she has achieved through the New York Sun, has not gone to her head, and she still thinks the most import- ant business in her life is managing her home, and running the town's business on the side.

THE COUNTY WEEKLIES I Cburch Annual Meeting (The Financial Post) The importance of the weekly newspaper and its influence in the rural districts were stressed when members of the Nova Scotia Week ly Newspaper Association gathered in Halifax lecently. Premier Angus MacDonald, in wel. coming the publishers, paid tribute to the weekly press. He was inter- ested in these papers, and there were several weekly journals which he read religiously, he said. "I know this is an age where every- thing tends to enlarge: "bigger aixi better' is the slogan today. Yet while the weekly newspapers have r.ot a large circulation they fill an im- portant place in our life. "The weekly newspaper has a steadying influence, and new which they present has the benefit of much thought, becau'^c that inter-.al of a week allows one to weigh the news more careful! \r" The congregational meeting of St. John's United Church was held in the school room on Tuesday of last week with the pastor, Rev. G. R. Service in the chair. The devotional exer- cises consisted of hymn 157, Psalm 27 and prayer.

BUSINESS CARDS A TRUE HELPMATE "Where is my change, waiter?" "There i.s none; that is my tip." "But I didn't tell you you could have it." "Oh, that's all right! I'm forgetful myself sometimes." The Globe and Mail intimates that the freckled 15-.vear-old Perth boy who spent more than $1000 of his unclo's money during a spree in Tor- onto will probably be freckled in h place that doeg not «how. At least be will be tanned. The young doctor sat down wearily in his easy chair and turned to his wife affectionately. "Has my darling been lonely with- out me?" he asked. "Oh, no," she said, "at least, not very lonely. I've found something to 'o with my time." "Oh.' he said. "And what's that?" "I'm organizing a class. A lot of the women in the village have joined and we're teaching one another to cook." "What do you do with the things '•ou cook ? '' "Oh, we give them to other peoi»le in the neighborkood.'' "Dear little woman,'' he said, kiss- ing her fondly. "Always thinking of vour husband's practice!"
