EDITORIAL NOTE.S The British Minister of Labour has refused present? to T'nited States bras.s bands, who wanted to tour the old country this year. This is an- other bout in the game of tit-for-tat set on foot over our border. Some months since, when the United .States Department of Labour vetoed British hands from performing in and Co. and i perated it under tlie nnine of (iraham Bros. They also had a chopping mill and saw mill in connection with the store business. Four yea^s ago the .atore burned and Ihc following year it was rebuilt along with a fine residence and the business successfully carried on by the late Mr. Graham and hi* wife who was formerly .Miss Lilly. Camp- bell of this community. The late .Mr. Graham was a vei>> highly esteemed resident of the/vill- aiul wil! be greatly missed. He was a kind neighbor and friend and i)leas- ing Jispositioii which won for him many friends. He was once a mem- ber of the L.O.L. but not recently. During his short illness he was tender- ly cared for by his loving wife, nurse and doctor. All that could be done was done and death conquered all and on P'aster Monday morn at opening of <lay, a voice was calling that seem- ed to say, â€" " Ye w'.io are weary corn* and rest. Lay down your head upon my breast, Cflnic follow me and I will guide Thy footsteps on the Jordan side. Our loved one heard the sweet com mand and gently took the Saviours Hand." The funeral under the directions of Mr. E. J. Bennett of Flesherton was held on Wednesday afternoon, April 24. The remains were taken to the United C;hurch. Owing to the ab- sence of the pastor, Rev. A. Busholl, Rev. Mr. Stott pastor of Flesherton United Chuicli officiated at the church and grave. He chose the sixth chap. of Romans a«i .Scripture reading and took as his text the last verse of the chapter, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." He spoke on the numerous gifts of (Jod. at the groat outdoors where all nature has dependence on God. In droughts and famines, we realize how much we depend on God. The out- standing gift of God is Eternal Life which isn't anythiivg wo can buy Believing the resurrection story and pondering upon what Easter ni-jans, the great Christian thought is "In the mid«t of death we are in life." The question of immortality is bound to come up in the Easter story. Three thing.s God has done for us: first lonfirmed the hope of immortality. The dosciples witnessed the rising of Jesus which proved that there is a love of God that will not let us go and makes us feel that reality of life be- yond the yrave; second, enriched our thought of iniinortality, He has made us feel that there is life b(>yond full votion: pillow from his wife, brothers,' spray, friends and neighbors Bpray Mr. and Mrs. D.

Horticultural Notes (By John F. Clark) Gaixlen roses should not be set out if soil is cold and muddy. Pi-unning is in order, cutting all dead wood from climbers. Hybrid Perpetuals when pruned low will give large exhibition blooms. Well rotted manure may be lightly cultivated into the soil about rose bushes. The burning of all rubbish cleaned out of the garden, dead weeds, old foliage from pernnials, rose and fruit tree prunings is highly advis- able to assist in control of gardin pests and dir.o-sser. All plants wintered in coldframe.=!, pansies, roses, bulbs, perennials and rock iilants, should be uncovered. Remove protection on a cloudy day. Plant Tuberous Begonias in a box of soil lightened with leaf mould and sand. The side of tuber showing irregular cavity is the top. Plant just barely below the sui-face. Shade boxes from strong light. It will b<. beneficial to bed of ferns and wild flowers to leave most of the rotting foliage of the past season i on the ground to serve as a natural | mulch. ; t •x-x-^-H-^-x- •X'«:"X~:' •:"X~x~;"X-x->«x->«>*X'<»:~x~>*«j->*«x«<«.x-sh>.> New Lines in ^-^ SILVERWEAR Has Just Arrive^ Relish Di.shes (4 divisions) $1.50 up | Flower Baskets (14 in. high) $3.00 | Bread Trays $L50 up % Salt and Pepper Shakers $1.00 ^ Candlesticks, pair $L75 Bon Bon Dishes.
