Thai recommendation, allow mo to 8y, d.il not come from myself. Aa a matter of fact I never mentioned the >;i I--YIK- at the meeting. I may have been uttered befure I came into the hull, as I HMB late arriving. My practical experience in actual farm work in Waterloo county has taught me, Sir, that farmers or farmers' clubs have not muney for motion picture machines. Moreover, my work as an agricultural representative in Grey County hi; surely demonstrated that if any Farmers' Clubs Women's Institute or Board of Agricul- ture dealres motion pictures, I will come at any time, free of charge, to give them an evening's entertainment. Allow me to^add, aisti, that I do not take the machine out for advertising purpose*.
