If you have to stand over a hot stove, heating old-fashioned sad-irons, and walk backwards and forwards between the stove and your ironing board, it uo< doubtedly is. But, if you use a SOVEREIGN Electric Iron you can do your ironing on the back porch if necessary. The " Sovereign " Electric Iron is truly the housewife's friend. It has a cool handle, tapering nose, and is beautifully balanced. Telephone us, and w- will deliver a "Sovereign" immediately.

PEEBLES ESTATE A number of the friends of Miss TJsusila Anderson met at the home of Mrs. Robert Inglis in Cramahe and presented Miss Anderson with a nicely worded address and a club bag on the eve of her departure for New Liskeard, where she expects to make her horr-e for the future. Crowded Program Faces Youths Wh Will Visit Royal Fair as Guests of Government Three days that are brimful and flowing over with interest and entertainment are in prospect for the five hundred Ontario farm boys, them from this County, who visit the Royal Winter Fair and the city of Toronto as the guests of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Entertainment, but. not merely that, everything on the crowded program that has just been announced by R. S. Duncan, director of Agricultural Representatives, who is supervising the ararngements for the trip, is there for a purpose. At the Royal Fair the boys will see, for one thing, the "Jubilee of Agriculture" exhibit which the Dominion' and different provinces are staging to show in a striking way the progress that has been made in the Dominion's greatest industry since 1867, and to demonstrate the amazing variety of high quality live stock and farm produce raised in Canada to-day. In the show ring they will watch judges of international reputation place pure-bred animals from nine Provinces and many States. It will give them lasting ideals that will influence their own plans for the home farm. Live stock, grain and seeds, fruit nd vegetables, poultry, rabbits and foxes, dairy produce and honey--they will see them all. In the first night they will pass in review before Lord Willingdon, Governor-General of Canada, who will open the Fair, and for the rest of the evening will watch horses from the finest stables on the continent take the jumps under skilled riders. More than all this, they will have the magic password that will gain them entry to the huge implement manufacturing plant of the. Massey-Harris Company: they will see the Union Stock Yards and packing plants and gain a first hand knowledge of cattle, sheep and swine market quirements: go through several large commercial institutions to see how big city business concerns a These lads are to live high during their visit: a luncheon as the guest of the Government of Ontario:: other Her spreads as the guests of packers, the implement people and different commercial concerns, winding up with a theatre party on the final night. The boys will sleep in Spadina House, in the centre of the city, and will breakfast each morning at Hart House in the great dining hall used by the students of the University of Toronto. In order that they might bring back a clear story to the folks at home and observe more closely for their own benefit, an Essay Competition has been arranged. Three prizes will be iwarded for essays in this co-unty and he best will be entered in a Provin-■'■<! Championship Class. Five hundred boys, posibly ready or a rest, but carrying away a sense if new knowledge of agricultural and nduntrial progress that wiill make hem proud of their country and their :alling, will leave Toronto on November the 18th. Walter H. Smith, Agricultural Representative. Brighton, Ontario. VERNONVILLE NEWS November 8th, 1927 Mrs. G. Lauder of Toronto spent the Thanksgiving holiday with friends Mr. and Mrs. Alex Skinner of Co-bcurg were Thanksgiving visitors at Mr. A. V. Robson's. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Mann of Barrie are visiting friends here for a few days before going east for a visit with friends at Brockville. Mr. S. L. Ludolph of our Queen City motored down on Saturday to spend Thanksgiving with Mrs. dolph and his family who are making an extended visit to Mr. G. Lehman's. There are a number of matters this week which seem to present themselves to your correspondent for a writeup, but time or space does not permit us to give them consideration in this week's budget. There are- some social functions which deserve mention. There was the visit of the government representative to this locality to acquaint the people with the legislation regarding mi and ways for the suppression or tinction of the corn-borer evil. Then the somewhat animated discussion in the neighborhood regarding the place and purpose of the Women's Institute and its relative usefulness with other organizations should be noted. But all these must be overlooked this time. More anon. The Young People's Association met on a recent evening and completed the work of re-organization for the winter season. The following officers were appointed: Miss Jennie Ives, who was the presiding officer last year and performed the various duties devolving upon her so well and so satisfactory, was again chosen as the First Officer in the Association. Mr. James A. Deviney, an ex-Pr^si dent, not so far remote, was elected to the position of Vice-President will be able to bring to the office his past experience, his executive -ability, and his aggressive personal enthusiasm. Mr. Everett Yarrow was selected as the right and proper person to act as Secretary to the Associate This is the first time that he has graced the Association in an official capacity, but we feel sure that he will measure up to the expectations of the members and to the efficiency standard. It will be his duty to : dustriously spread ink in keeping full and accurate record of all the doings and happenings in the Association, besides attending to its correspondence. The one chosen to lend an air of financial solidity to th< ganization was Mr. Clifford Miann. He is an ex-Vice-President but will be equally at home in the Treasury department, where he will look well after the financial exchequer and v appreciate writing down large figu from the season's undertakings. The four selected as Superintendents are Mrs. James Deviney, Miss C. Robson, Mrs. William Gillespie and Mrs. C. B. Turk. Mrs. Deviney, although an in-def.agitable worker in the Women's Institute, has a surplus of enthusiasm which she will gladly expend in Association work. The others along with 'Mrs. Deviney have proved their worth to the organization and will be agress-ive and energetic workers along with her in promoting the best interests of the several departments. Altogether the Association is well manned for a wide and aggressive campaign of usefulness to its members. Owing to other meetings and to the training school which is to be held at Castleton for five nights next week, it will not be possible for the Association to meet on the usual date but announcement will be made in next letter. The people of our community such good and expert motor drivers that it is rarely that we i hear of them having an accident; in fact we are almost immune from such unfortunate occurrences. But ne is sitting up and congratulating his fellow citizens upon their almost enviable record and per-remarking upon the comforts peed of modern motor travel, nes along and behold we iffer humiliation. This time it is ir esteemed fellow motorist, Mr. P. '. Rixon, who just for one moment spended his customary vigilance ith the result that his car began act just like other cars do when ice they have their freedom and opportunity. It is reported that Mr. Rixon was on his way on Sunday morning to engage in his usual min- The anniversary services and fowl supper held at Burnbrae Prp = livteri;:n Church, of which Rev. D. A. McKenzie is the minister, was one of most -u'cpssful ever held there. The freewill offerings totalled $994.00, while the sunner increased the proceeds $1419.00. GRAFTON A great masquerade Hallowe'en party was held in the Town Hall, on Monday evening in aid of the public library, about $175 being realized from the affair. It was a great success, and those in charge of the arrangements deserve mtich credit for the wonderful manner it was cartred out. A large number were in costume, and many witnessed the pretty spectacle, the hall presenting a fne appearance with its bright costumes and decorations. Mrs. Albert. Hoskin, as a gypsy, won the first 1 ri^e, and Mr. Harold Heenan as Uncle Sam, won the gentleman's pri'e. Miss Johnston won the girls' first prize, and Master Edgar Roberts the boys' first prize. Dr. Hutchinson acted as chairman, and solos were rendered during the evening by Mrs. Belt and Hart Immel. Lunch was served during the evening, and altogether was most enjoyable. istrations and devotions when, good Samaritan like, he preferred a ride to two or three he overtook on the road, and it was just after they had taken their seats, and trustingly confided life and limbs to the machine and driver, that the unfortunate ac cident occurred. It appears one of the doors of his sedan blew open, and Mr. Rixon reached over to close it and all at once the car took to manifesting those peculiar traits noticable sometimes in a car without a driver, with the result that it was soon occupying a rather discomforting position on the highway in dangerous proximity to a telephone pole. Fortunately, however, no one was seriously injured nor did the car suffer much from the mishap. One is bound to make this observation, that in modern motor traffic, with its multitude of cars and the high speed at which they travel, that though accidents are numerous, it is a marvel that they are not of more frequent occurrence. Very much depends upon the driver, upon his pro-ficency and his eternal vigilance. Modern cars are so near perfection, and the operation of their working parts so reliable that the responsibility devolves upon the man who is driving the machine. He must be able to meet the emergencies that arise so often and so quickly in modern traffic and have that instinctive keen-ess and judgment to do the thing that be ought to do and do it when it ought to be done. It is only this that makes motoring on such a vast and rapid scale possible. After another very satisfactory season's operation, the Vernonville Beef Exchange held its annual meeting one evening recently. The Secretary's report for the year showed that well on to 10,000 lbs. of meat had been distributed among the membership during its five months operating season. Everybody expressed satisfaction and were highly pleased with the quality of the meat that had been supplied. Their approval was further manifested by the fact that all the tickets were drawn and each as-i sumed their respective places for' another season, when the indications are that the organization will carry or even better than ever. The election of officers resulted as follows: Hon. President--.Mr. John Broom-field. President--Mr. D. Waite Secretary--Mr. C. B. Turk Treasurer--Mr. W. Broomfield Butcher--Mr. J. Calnan Inspectors--Messrs. R. Litster and A. V. Robson. The Vernonville Beef Exchange has teen running now for nearly 40 years, and during all that time has given splendid satisfaction. During these years it has distributed approximately 400,000 pounds of meat at the minimum of cost to its members. It would not be out of the way to say that the citizens of this neighborhood owe much of their brawn and superior physical development to this valuable organization. So conspicuous indeed development that the people Grafton were regarding the VerilonvUle people with envy and began jto look around for some way or meajis to remedy this state of affairs. They had a well founded suspicion that the institution known as the Beef Exchange out here was largely responsible for the superior make-up of our citizens, and they were not slow to realize the inevitable consequences of their deprivations. Their consideration of the matter resulted in them sending a deputation out here to seek admission to our Exchange, so that they might adopt the "bovine v;ay" as a means of arresting their impairments and salvaging their mental and physical constitutions. Membership was granted them in the Vernonville Beef Exchange and it was not long before the rejuvination in evidence bore mute testimony to their wisdom and to the efficacy of the means employed.
