Wheat and other in shipped East up to this time assed the eight million bushel iis a measure, accounts for reported con ores. Wheat 5,419 cars 1 handled aggregating 7,402,- ushel; and 580 cars of coarse »ns have carried 1,020,400 bushels. Barly harvest and threshing and the course of many farmers in putting their grain on the market without de- lay is responsible fo rthe heavy move- ment Eastwards. Officials of the Canadian National Railway declared that the movement of grain over their lines was ten days ahead of last year and very heavy for this season. .

Among callers this moining were W. 8.

The work of excavating the new basement was begun on Mon- day morning, and is being done by the 'members themselves under the drec- tion of C. Morton. The building is to be fifty by twenty-four feet, and is situated on the trunk road near Ox- drift Station. To many, the idea of a co-operative store seems a new thing, but it is seven years ago since the project, was mooted. If the farmers from one end of the district to the other have always had at the back of their heads the fact that they did not get a square deal in the matter of trade, and that although they contributed the greater part to the prosperity of the community, they themselves got the least out of it. i i The Success of the Clover Growers Association in spite of every difficulty was a sure sign that if the store busi- ness was not a long way off, and with the big drop in the price of all farm produce with no appreciable reduction in the cost of such necessities as clothing, boots, hardware, tea, coffee, sugar, and the hundred and one re- quirements in daily use, it was felt that the time was opportune for the farmer to do his own buying and selling. The officials of the Company are with one exception all pioneers in the district. They can. all look back upon nearly twenty years of hard work and endouver to bring this country into prominence it now holds. It will be a very new-comer indeed who has not heard ef the President, Fred Brignall, or the Vice-President, Jos Tuckey. The directors, Robt. Latimer; Con Schnider N. D. Dickson, Chas. Morton and Jno. McKay, need no introduction to the public of the Dryden district, any more than does the Sec-Treasury, W. W. Howell. 3 . The Company is incorporated under the Ontario Companies Act, under the title of the Oxdrift Co-operative Com- pany, Limited. Its capital is $14,000, "divided into 280 shares of $50.00 each, of which the greater portion is al- ready subscribed, and any one inter- ested in the co-operative movement would do well to get in touch with any of the officials before it is too late. The by-laws of the Company have been formed with the greatest care, so as 0 give evary possible chance to the smallest investor. = Only twenty-five per cent = of the subscribed stock is called for at any one time, and at least 30 days must elapse between calls. The chojce of Oxdrift as the site for the store was not arrived at pre- aturely. The claims of Dryden as be- ing more central were considered, but the directors felt that with the num- ber of stores already in existence it would not be wise to open there in the first place. However as the business allows, it is suggested to open a branch in the town later on for the disposal of meat, butter, eggs, poultry ete, and so bring the consumer into direct touc'y with the producer. It is algo proposed to find a market for every thing that can be produced on the fa rm. Every year finds more produce on the farm than can be handles] locally. May, Potatoes, seed grain. Qats, Barley, Wheat Rye, are grown on all sides. Our Northern grown i seed is known favourably over the Dciminion--and by co-operation it will be easier to ship car lots, then perha ps for the individual to ship his one, t wo, or hundred bushels. It seems perhaps a big undertaking for 'po number of farmers to launch out into business, but unless the farmer conducts 'his own affairs, he will never lse any ljetter off.

Oxdrift is taking the necessary steps to erect a monument to Fallen Heroes. This will be placed in Ox- drift Cemetery--not Dryden as was wrongly stated in a previous issue. Members of Oxdrift Women's In- stitue who sat during August for examination in First Aid passed a very satisfactory exemination. Their names are:-- Miss Merle Washburn Mrs McTavish Miss Thelma Washburn Miss Luella Crosier Miss Lena Adams Miss Gladys Salton Miss Clarissa Adams Mre E Lunden The pupils were instructed by Miss Harcourt of Toronto, Who also gave ten lessons in Home Nursing to mem- bers of the W. I., or anyone who cared to take them, Dr Dingwall, acted as examiner. Wm. John Fleming and family desire to give expression to their gratitude to the people of Oxdrift, and espec- ially to Mr Peter Heenan, to Dr Ding- wall, and to the Women's Institute, whose assistance was so kindly given in their misfortune. QUIBELL NOTES The Women's Institute Meeting was held at the home of Mrs Pete Paradis, on Saturday, September 3, having a good attendance. A pie social and dance was arranged for to take place after the seed fair, to be held on Sep- tember 18th, the proceeds will go to help buying new desks for the School House, as at present there is not enough to meet the demands, having such a large attendance. The School will will soon have to be enlarged, which is at present under discussion. A new floor is soon to be laid in the School House and a new brick chimney built. After a most appetising tea served by Mre Pete, the crowd walked over to the home of Mr Louis Paradis for a free-for-all dance followed by a lovely supper, nearly all of Quibell being there. Mr Williams, P. O. Pay- adis and "Mrs McEwen very kindly gave free use of their cars to convey the people back. Mr Johnson supplied the music. Mr Walker entertained by singing many songs, Mrs Louis Par- adis also gave a comical recitation. A tired but happy crowd left for their different homes in the wee small hours of the morning. Praise need to be mentioned of the good roads. around Quibell, for five miles up north, the road that a short time ago was an awful swamp is now in. splendid condition and a good auto road. ELECTIONS PAST AND COMING All political parties are making ready for thé preliminaries in the big contest that is to take place within the next three months. Liberals an- nounce. the assembly of the national council, Mr Crerar leaves his summer home on the Lake of the Woods and the Unionists are also getting their craft under way. That the contest is going to be one of the hottest the counry has wittnes- sed seems apparent." From 1896 to 1911 'there 'was very little to distin- guish between the two parties that presented themselves as vehicles through which Canadians expressed their political preference. It was largely a case of "ins" and "outs." In 1911 this situation was suddenly altered by the adoption of the prin- ciple of reciprocity by the Liberals as a plank in their fiscal platform. This precipitated an election with a EVANS The Popular Candy Shop. CONFECTIONERY, FRU BREAD SOFT DRINKS.
