Dominion Day DUE possibly to a feeling of delicacy for advancing years, Canada's 57th birthday was very quietly celebrated in Dryden. The stores were closed all day, and after an hour or two spent in the garden or otherwise indulging the sense of freedom from the daily grind, citizens generally put in the day rest- fully. Every improved highway con- tributed to the pleasure of auto owners and their fortunate friends, while the refreshing breezes and never - failing charm of the lake attracted the less adventurous. Upon all there rested the spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of liv- ing in this broad Dominion over which the Union Jack symbolically floated, fitting emblem of the liberty which, to every true Canadian, is associated with Dominion Day.

Opening of Creamery m0 QO Dryden Creamery will open TUESDAY, July 8th. Cream will be purchased according to grade and test, at highest current butter-fat prices. DRYDEN CLOVER BELT CREAMERY CO. Limited. --0--0--0-- There's more truth than poetry in the idea that most industries sustain themselves at the expense of farmers. A Creamery is one of the few that in- crease their profits by working in his interest. The best results have always obtained in districts where the farmers and the Creamery work together for mutual profit and advantage. Dryden Creamery is a step in the direction of progress for this district. It is now up to the farmers to make it possible for the Creamery to operate to the general betterment. 'Where cows can be profitably kept, the cow is the greatest community upbuilder of them all. Surely that is established beyond doubt, and no argument need be wasted on the fact. Roads and Politics WALDHOF.--Crop reports around here are not very promising. Clover is expected to be below average as well as grain. Roots are doing fine, and until now there are no potato bugs-- perhaps the cool weather has some- thing to do with this. Cattle are doing well; they too enjoy the cool weather. Until now flies have not been trouble- some. A little more rain would be very useful for everything. There has been quite a stir in the political pool, and we can see the the ripples yet. But why should peo- ple complain? If those who elected Mr Kennedy do not show any more interest than they do at the present time, surely it is best for Mr Kennedy to keep silent. He has never has sought this office, but was actually forced into it under the promise of loyalty and support, and all that kind of stuff. Dougald is doing his part all right. If we did the same he would not have much of a chance to play silent much longer. You say Mr D. Kennedy is an honest man, or something like that; please do not believe the rest of us are dis- honest. In our opinion we are all honest, so mark you that is nothing extra-ordinary. We are all kind of disappointed. Some of our settlers have waited for roads about twenty years, and are still waiting this year. With our staff of technically trained officers there A. S. Hammersley, B.S.A, from the SrA Rea Co-operative Creameries at Saskatoon, is already in Dryden' and will manage the Creamery. To a thor ough scientific training acquired at Guelph, he adds considerable ex-} perience in successful creamery man- agement gained in the west. From now on he will superintend the mak- ing of butter for this community. Due to lack of uniformity, dairy but- ter in quantity has never brought good prices anywhere. The Creamery assures brand that can be given a definite grade and assured price. Dryden Creamery butter will establish itself on the market alongside other high- class products of this district as soon as it is suitably placed on the market. All it needs now is an assured supply of cream. Cream will be paid for on delivery by cream tickets, negotiable at most stores in the district as handily as money. They are redeemable by the holder for cash at the Creamery twice a month, the 1st and the 15th. This will provide a regular steady income for all who turn their attention to the production of cream. Sunflowers and other feeds can be economically grown round here, as well as grain. Feeding farm produce to stock is away ahead of shipping it, especially where distance makes the freight costs so high. The next two or three years should see the greatest boom of land clearing this district has ever known. | Fatertains Parents and Friends. Fr om fifty to sixty parents and friends of Mrs Cooper's pupils were entertain- ad on Saturday afternoon last in the Paper Mill Hall. Mrs Cooper, in extending a welcome object of the gathering was not to parade the accomplishment of the pupils, but rather to encourage that sense of confidence and self posession in the children so necessary when ap- pearing before the public. From first to last, each item was listened to with sympathetic atten- tion. All the artists receiving a good measure of applause. Encores were called for in several instances, but the programme--so nicely arranged--was adhered to, and it was refreshing to notice how each boy or girl entered into the spirit of the occasion and stepped up smartly to the platform when their turn came around. Such occasions consistently followed up will do much to encourage a desire | to accomplish things, so that instead of being entertained, pupils will be able to take their share in making others happy through one of the most beautiful of arts, Music. Mrs Cooper closed the programme with a delightful rendering of 'Les Deux Alouettes" after which refresh- ment were served to close a very pleasant afternoon.

The Mayor and Councillor Ripley were out Wednesday afternoon in- specting the Cemetery along with Mr James McFadyen, who, with Mrs Dan Hutchison and Mr D Kennedy, are Committee in charge.
