EDWARDS Phone 2 East Side Victoria Square Colborne NEXT SESSION TO BE BUSY ONE latio Toronto, January 5th.--The Ontario Legilature will probably be called together late in January to exercise the Government control mandate which the people have placed in its hands. This intimation was given out last evening by Premier Ferguson when he stated that, although he had not as yet given consideration to the date on which the Government would convene the Chamber, an unusually early se'ssion was not to be expected. There" are practical difficulties in the way of a session earlier than the normal one which the Government annually calls. In the first place there is the drafting of the control legislation itself, a process which necessarily requires time because of the Cabinet discussion and careful consideration which must attend it. Although in the final analysis it is the Legislature as a whole which passes the legislation, the Government accepts the responsibility and must bring the matter before the House in the form of a bill, by the essential features of which it is prepared to stand or fall. The drafting of such legislation, accordingly cannot be a matter of undue haste. Any date for the actual inauguration of the control policy, accordingly, can only be speculative at this stage session of the Legislature which opened in February, became an actuality on June 10th. The details of that legislation, however, with the number of individual permits which had to be approved, were probably greater than those which will be con- \ nected with the pending legislation.

It is not through any indiffenrence to such important event we can assure you that we some times miss recording such importanl events. It is so seldom that we have the opportunity and privilege of announcing a birth in this vicinity that sometimes we quite unintentionally fail to give the new arrival that announcement that ordinary courtesy demands. We beg to apologize to the little one this time, and in the future we must endeavor to promptly and properly announce such Important events. Boys, and girls too, are " most important product of our country tcHday and for which there is ai ever increasing demand. Our government may harp on their immigration policy, but the best citizens that can be brought to this beloved country of ours are those brought by way of the stork. It is a great thing, a glorious privilege to be bom a Canadian and Canada is a glorious heritage. Well might that gifted Indian Poetess. Pauline Johnston, write-- "We first saw light in Canada, the land beloved of God,. . We are the pulse of Canada, its marrow and its blood,.. And w^e, the men of Canada, can face the worlfi and brag.. That we were horn Canada, beneath the British Flag." Patrons in this vicinity of the Creamery Branch of the United Farm-Co-operative Co. of Toronto received the welcome announcement last week of a Patronage Dividend of 3 cents per pound fat for the six months ending September 30th. 1926. This makes the second dividend declared to patrons during the past year. While these dividends were in process of earning and accumulating the regular interim payments were made on the bas,<s of prevailing market prices for cream. That very substantial progress is being made along co-operative lines and that patrons are reaping the advantages of Co-operative marketing is indicated in the fact that for the first six months of the current year shippers of cream received over $30,000.00 in dividends and that a second dividend is now available for distribution to patrons of $57,851.81. In the Egg Department of the Cooperative Co. the commodity pool returns to shippers are close on to $30. 00.00. The Grain and Seed Departmen' also shows a satisfactory season', work for which the commodity dividend report is now in process of 'lation. There is also available for shareholders of the company $60,000. By the way there are quite a number of shareholders through! the district and they ought to proud of the way their company ning ahead, and the progress being de along the lines of co-operative buying and selling. Perhaps the most conspicuously successful department the Farmers' Co-operative Co., is Livestock Commission Branch, which under the aggressive management of Mr. Charles McCurdy, who is well known is this locality, did a business of close to twelve million ' -liars last year. The Annual Con-ntion of the United Formers of Ontario, the United Farm Women of Ontario and also the Young People' Branch is being held Jlii A DAILY THOUGHT A little bit of kindness To the others now and then, A little bit of blindness To the faults of other men, The wish to be forgiving When things somehow go wrong, And life is worth the living And hope is in the song. !

In the report of the last meeting of the Haldimand Council in the dis- • bursement statement there is evidence the extent of the havoc done by | sheep-killing dogs, and our remarks two weeks ago in these columns dogs versus sheep appear now to h; been quite conservative. The damage done and the number of sheep killed seems to have been much greater and more wide-spread than our report indicated), although this particular neighborhood seems to have suffered the most severely. This does not necessarily mean that the sheep-killinp dogs belong to this vicinity. Dogs when bent on mischief of this kind will go miles and miles to secure their piey and usually a couple of dogs are responsible for most of the dam age done. It Is just possible though 'n this case that the guilty dogs are right, near home but of course one will admit that he has a dog that will kill sheep. The only one that can be sure in making an assertion of that kind is the one that sees that hi: dog is tied or shut up every singh night and knows that he is not roaming in the day time. There are s whole lot more dogs in the country than can serve any useful purpose. Nearly everybody has one and it is safe to say that from a utility standpoint one half of them are useless-- that is the dogs we mean-- and the sooner they are dispatched the better. We heard a man say the other day that the only thing he kept a dog for was for the children. That man thought a lot of hjis children, and a dog of all animals is the best adapted to amuse and occupy children. It is safe to say that every boy is fond )f a dog and every dog is fond of i, boy. They take to each other natur-illy and are good friends and good sports. It is good for a lad to have a good dog to become attached to, to play with, to care for and to defend. His fajithful nature cannot have but a salutory effect on the mind and the ture of a well dispositioned boy. Dec. 28th, 1926 Mrs. W. Warren, Oshawa is visiting her sister. Mr-;. Albert Deviney.
