The Giey County Board of Agricul- ture, the central organization of the Far- mers' Clubs, ia making a special effort with the assistance of the Department of Agriculture to meet the demand for good farm laborers. If orders can bo obtained for 100 or more men Mr. H. C. Dutt' of Markdnle, representative of the Depart- ment, will sail for Scotland in February where experienced farm laborer* will be selected with the assistance of the pro- vincial imminration officers. Most of the laborers will require assistance across, so every applicant is asked to advance $20, which will afterwards be reserved from the laborer's wages. In cases where as- sistance is not re.juired the money will be returned. Every laborer securing as- sistance is i-ei |iiired to find some one to stand security fjr lum, so there in no danger of a farmer losing his advance. The laborers will bo brought directly to the county in April. Next Mondiy will be nomination day, but so far as Artemesia is concerneo. it might be a year away.

A MARKDALE CITIZEN. Markdale, Dec. 23, 1912. An Interesting Railway News Item Last Friday's Toronto Star says : From Orillia to Collingwood and then to Goderich with a branch line to Owen Sound is the next step of the MacKeuzie and Mann interests in the development of their Western Ontario network of lines. That application for a charter for the proposed line will come before tte next session of the Dominion House, was learned in Canadian Northern circles to-day. Word .- !n. i < from Hanover that a man has been takii'g observations six miles from there for some time, and it is gen- eral rumor that he is working for the Mackenzie and M inn interests. i Tins showy that the Toronto to Surnia | and Windsor survey of the Canadian Northern mUKt be getting in good shape when the surveying is evidently under 1 way for the proposed crow line over Western Ontario. The new line is for a steam railway, and thu probabilities are that it will pass Hanover or that vicinity. With the con- struction of the C.N.R. line to Montreal and the building of the line to Niagara Falls from Toronto, and then the line ! from Toronto to Satnti and Windsor, ! making connection with the American roads, followed by the proposed new route across Western Ontario as stated, the groundwork of the gridiron of lines of the Canadian Northern will be a tiue one for making connections in every direction.
