timber 7, 1923 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE POINTER FOR TOMMY COOPER .. Carroll, Peel County's ener- Agricultural Representative, Content with the ordinary rou- has a new job on his hands. season, feeling that the poul- industry in the county could a little pushing, Mr. Carroll inaugurated a competition the young women of Peel the object of learning some- about the profits that may be with chickens. Carroll had two objects in when commencing the new f contest. First of all he wanted to find out .iome method by which jirls on the farm could make pocket money, and, secondly, he decided the poultry in his sphere of in- Huence would be benefited with im ovement. At first the competition will be largely experimental, but will ultimately develop, it is hoped, into a valuable demonstration as to the possibilities with chickens. Fif- teen girls entered the contest, which commenced this month and will run for a year. Agricultural College, Guelph, ass- isted Mr Carroll in culling all the flocks entering the tests, and when this work was being periormed some hints on general management of poultry were given the owners. Points will be awarded on the basis of management, including sanitation i and the cost of production of the eggs. Each month it is proposed to send out a small bulletin containing poultry and current information re- garding the test. Any breed or combination of breeds are used in the flocks.

They are scattered to the four corners of this continent, but they still think of us as the home folk and the part of the paper which pos- sesses the greatest interest for them is the local news, sent in week by week by our staff of faithful corres- pondents from the different parts of the country. These patient, untiring, often much abused news gatherers | are building much better, than they know. They are like the ancient prophets "not without honor save in their own neighborhood." It seems ' so trifling to say that Mrs. A. called on Mrs. B. or Mr. W. is killing hogs or threshing his clover, or that Mr. and Mrs. N have gone to town. ' But now look at it from the view- point of the readers of this paper living in different parts of the coun- ! try. They have gone away for var- ious reasons but they are building for themselves homes as their fath- ers did, faced with the same condi- tions perplexed by the same prob lems and they are anxious to keep the old-time traditions and trans- plant the old-time ideals in the new places to which they have gone. The hope of our great new land which 1 is opening up is in many things the church, the schools, the class of settlers which they are getting. But not the least among the influences which will make this land an Ideal place to live in is the preservation and transplanting of the home id- eals which the boys and girln who have left the older portions have had instilled into them in their youth. Anything then that keeps the spark of the memory of the old home from | going out, anything which binds them ' to the things of the past, is playing a ! big part in keeping Canada a land of the best ideals.

Hosts of the boys and girls who have been absent from this county for twenty, thirty or forty years have not had a written letter from the place of their birth for years Is the inspiration of this sacred memory to be allowed to die out? Here is where the home paper comes in. It comes as a weekly let- ter freighted with the fragrance of the memories of by-one days. The first bit of news they look for is the news of their old neighborhood. There they see that Mrs A. is visiting Mrs. B. and they smile and say, "Well, well, she is still on her rounds, is she?" Mr. D. has just cut his clover, and they see again the field where as boys they picked berries from the fence corners and the hol- low rails where they had many a losing fight trying to rob the bumble bee. They read that Mr. W. is dead. "Well, well, he seemed an old man when they were still young." They remember his rugged honesty and the homely advice which from his desk as superintendent of the Sund?" school he gave them. And so he is dead but his words and influence which can never die come back to them and they live over again their Sunday School days, but now realizing what they did not as boys and girls, how necessary, how important the need of a character built upon the ideals of the Holy Word. So we could go on. The weekly paper, with its neighborhood news, has brought before the people the doings of the home folks, their work, their play, their social joys their sorrows little unimportant happen ings to those who live in the neighbor- hood, but to those absent a link that binds them to the past. A drink of cold water to a thirsty heart, like a drink from the old spring at the foot of the hill at home where as boys they were wont to refresh themselves. And in the strength of that refresh- ment they can go on to continually better work-and so they are thankful for the correspondents, who, by much sacrifice constitute themselves a link which bind them to all the best in the past.

Last evening at the Blue Front Store, where al the boys assembled, I made a lou< and rancous roar until the . welkin trembled. There was an uproar of applau.sc.for nearly all detest the laws that tux us to a frazzle But there was one who lacked u leg, whose face was bleak and dreary; in frigid tones he said, "I beg to say you make me tneary. While war was raging over there, and fine young men were scrapping, you roosted in your easy chair, and did your "Home Fires" yapping. You basked on downy beds of case, you loufcd on padded benches while we were wad- ing to the knees in black and filthy trenches. I paw the mighty foe ad- vance, led on by Alexanders; I lost a collar bone in France, I lost a leg in Flanders. And I was gassed and I was shocked and I was shot to pieces; when fat men talk as you have talked my weariness increases."
