Many Player-Pianos today are made solely to interest those who play with the music roll and are not good pianos to play by hand, therefore such an instrument is only half a purchase, and of course the price seems cheap. The "Dominion" Player- Piano is an ideal combination of a good piano and player action that accomplishes a wonderful tone shading with the simplest operating devices. Here is how some of the many usera of Dominion Pianos praise this instrument : "The touch of "the Dominion is the most human and the technique clear and precise. It is entirely free from all mechanical mechanical effects." "Its touch takes it out of the class of automatic piano-players." Compare it with others. Test its tone. Regard its finish. Judge of its music-giving capabilities. We don't fear the result, and you are just about $100 in pocket when you buy it---not to mention the wonderfully easy terms,up^n which it can be. bought.

Jolliffe, President of Bowmanville Bowmanville Canadian Club, welcomed about 70 citizens and near-town residents at the first regular meeting of the Club for this season on Friday evening .in the spacious schoolroom of the Methodist church. Rev. H. B. Kenny invoked the Divine blessing on the-repast provided by the Women's Auxiliary of the Hospital. The tables were very tastefully arranged and decorated, presenting a banquet-like appearance, the effect being red and green. At the close, on motion of Dr. G. C. Bon- nycastle' seconded by Mr. W. B. Couch, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the ladies for the excellence of the supper and the neatness arid despatch with which it was served. The Women's Auxiliary has been given the contract for providing all the banquets this season, and in future for the convenience of business and professional professional men dinner will,be served at 6.30 p.m. promptly, and President Jolliffe emphasized emphasized punctuality at all future meetings. meetings. After the good edibles had been disposed disposed of. Mr. Geo. W. James, the new Secretary, Secretary, read this letter from Mr. Chas. R. McCullough, Hamilton, the Father of the Canadian Club movement, who was elected elected the Honorary President of the ^Bowman ^Bowman ville Club at, the annual meeting last month in recognition of his being a worthy worthy son of this town : "Hillside," Hamilton, Friday, Nov. 7, 1913. My Dear-Mr. Tames : The Statesman informs me of a signal honor paid me by mv friends of my native town. You are altogether too kind to me. Nevertheless, I must say that nothing that has occurred for a long time has brought me so much pleasure as this evidence that you are determined not to forget the lad who should . confess more often than he does what he owes to the place wheie he first saw the light of a Februiry day in the year 1865. Before concluding this letter I must again examine carefully the line-o-type to make sure that I am the Honorary President President indeed and in truth. . I see that it is so, and it is just as highly prized as an Honorary Presidency of the Canadian Clubs of the Dominion, conferred during my absence from a Conference in Winnipeg Winnipeg three years ago. My best wishes to Rev. Mr. Jolliffe and to all the other officers and members."

OUR MOTTO : Shoes that Satisfy Could "Charlie", as he signed himself, have been present and witnessed the enthusiastic enthusiastic applause that followed the reading reading of his letter of acknowledgment, he would have had no doubt about the sin cerity of the appreciation of the members. It was a fitting tribute to à worthy Bowmanville Bowmanville boy who has done his birthplace honor and service, too. President Jolliffe asked the consent of the members present to permit the adies present to oc. upy seats in the gal- ery, which was courteously granted. We see no good reason why ladies should not >e present at all the banquets to enjoy the interesting addresses. Rev. Hygh Munroe,B.A., Assistant Pas- :or of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Toronto, and a former pastor of St. Paul's ! Bowmanville, was the speaker of the evening. evening. Mr. Munroe was a charter member member and greatly interested in the Club when here, and but for his removal to the city a year ago would have been elected to the Presidency for last year. His subject subject Friday evening was "Some Ontario Problems" and he held his audience in closest attention for 45 minutes. He made pleasing reference to the respect shown to ministers by Bowmanville citizens citizens and congratulated the brethren with whom he. had been intimately associated here--Rev. T. W. Jolliffe on being President President of the Canadian Club, and Rev. H. B. Kenny as President of the Hospital Board, and both on other boards and taking active and prominent interest in the town's affairs. From present appearance he was assured of an abiding interest in the welfare welfare of the Club. He referred in a feeling way to the feeling of home-coming that he and Mrs. Munroe felt in returning to Bowmanville where they spent so many pleasant years. He appreciated very highly the compliment of being asked to address the Club. The topic for his address was suggested to him by John McDougall's book on "Rural Canada." . It was Ontario treated by itself with reference to Durham county--Population, Production, Education Education and Schools and Life of the People. He referred to pioneer conditions and sparse settlement. jn 1828 this county contained 4,942 persons. In 1851 census gave 30,732 with 4,547 children of school age. Durham reached its maximum population population in 1871--37.280 and 8,600 children of school age. In'1891 the population had fallen to 32427 and 5,471 of school age. In 1901 it had fallen to 27,570 and 3.555 respectively, and the last census (1911) gives Durham's population at only 26,411. This Province in .the last 20 years has a decrease of 100,538 in rural population, altho the total increase from 1861--then 1,396,091 and in 1911 2,523,274--is 1,127,- 183. The exodus has been from the rural sections to the cities and towns and to the West. The figures quoted show a decrease decrease approâçhing 5,000 in the schools of this county since 1871. Commenting on the causes of rural decrease decrease in population, Mr. Munroe said it is dtie largely to industrial conditions. As a rule villages contained several small industries industries in the 50's, 6o's and 7°' s when gradually thro the introduction of machinery machinery more generally in manufacturing the village industry became unprofitable. In i860 there were 22 grist mills in Durham Durham county,-and many saw mills, carding mills, tanneries* foundries, wagon shops', blacksmiths, boot, makers, tailors, weavers; weavers; etc, Village life is hot now what it was then and some of them bave almost entirely lost the activity they once possessed. possessed. Introduction ot machinery on the farm has -done away with all-the-year- round hired man with a family, which is a very large contributing cause of the decrease decrease in school attendance. . . In dealing with his second division-- Production--the speaker gave many interesting interesting statistics. Durham county produced produced in bushels grain of different kinds : 1851--1,270,593; in 1871--1,607,600; in 1891--2,532,318; in 1911--3.243>5O0 bushels. bushels. In I$6o this county grew 1,107,971 bushels of wheat which was only 230,164 in 1911. In i860 this county contained .12,841 horses, 25406 cattie and 38,000 sheep; in 1911 there" were 14,727 horses, 47,354 cattle and £6400 sheep--hprses and cattle increasingr«heep decreasing. - .(To oe continued next x Sj I 1 «■ s I I I I s << $ 28th--NOVEMBER Ladies' Coats Balance of our Ladies' and Misses' Fall Coats in all the seasons styles and colors.
