Between weighing out prunes, measuring coal oil, and counting eggs, and keeping books, he has very little leisure to sit down and scan the horizon, and so he mud- dies through with a living, and the Mail Order House takes the cream of his district's business, and this is certainly not financi- aily in the interests of the locality Perhaps by some intuition, or more likely by good luck, this store has already realized that what one store could do in a large degree, another store could advantage in a lesser, and in our stock of $75,000.00, there is very little of old or unsaleable The Adult Class topic for Sunday § week ( the 18th of July) is "The Boy- f hood of Jesus."

John McCrae, a settler in the Minni- taki district, disappeared in October 1921, shortly after selling his place to George Herring, the present occup- ant. Coming to Dryden he used some of the money to purchase a rifle and other supplies, returning shortly after to Minnitaki, where he started for the woods with the announced intention of cutting timber and going after wolves. He was never seen alive again nor has any trace of him been found until now. ! An investigation will be made by '8" the provincial police. Ao Gay DRYDEN, Ont.
