BEDWORTH, Feb. 16.--The splen- did new home of Mr anc Mrs Wm. White, Bedworth, was last Saturday evening the scene of a most enjoyable Valentine party. About forty friends. and schoolmates of the Misses Patricia and Margaret were invited. The spacious rooms were beautiful- ly decorated for the occasion. Games and music displaying the artistic ability of; furnished the amusement of JE GIBSON, Agent, Dry den fe cvnine Short Courses M. F. Cook Describes Plans. EVERY Winter, during the slack | season on the farm, Short Courses are put on in every county in Old Ontario, under the direction of the Agricultural Representative. These Courses last for four weeks, and cover every phase of farming activity, and are attended by hundreds of farmers and farmers' sons. Courses are also run at the same time for farmers' wives and daughters; these cover subjects in Home Nursing, Do- | Seek Basis For an Agreement At a general meeting of the Dryden and district Agricultural Sociey held in he Town Hall Wednesday afternoon, chief interest centred on the discussion of the proposed lease to the Town of Dryden of the Fair Grounds. Beyond a resolution to arrange a meeting be- tween its officers and a committee of the Town Council, 10 definite action was taken. If the Society can limit its conditions of a lease to what the Town can afford to spend on an investment that can hardly ever become profitable, always mestic Science, and Millinery. Since coming to this District 1 have felt that one of these Courses would do a great deal of good in this District in prmoting a keener interest in Agriculture, and go a long way towards improving our actual farming operations. These Courses are not put on with the idea of showing farmers how to farm. We know quite well that the best teacher is experience, and it is only by carrying on the actual farming operations, that this can be gained. However, a great deal of useful information can be had by getting together and learning the other fellow's view point. Our meetings will be planned so as to allow for as much discus- sion as. possible, so that every onc will have an opportunity to take part, and in this way we hope that a good deal of practical informa- tion will be gained. It is impossible in such a short period to take up every subject, and only a few of the more im- portant ones will be taken up. Special speakers have been secur" ed to lead in the discussion on the following dates: QWINe wero enoers April 12, 13 Poultry «....ooee- April 14, 1% Sheep +.evverrecs April 19, 20 Small Fruits, & Vegetables .......- April 20,21 Veterinary Science April 22, 23 These speakers are all specialists in these subjects and will give us something of real practical value, and it is our hope that thesc meetings be well attended. Other subjects will be taken up if time permits, so that we will have a full programme from April 12th to 23rd. This course is open to every one, and 1 feel that no farmer within a reasonable distance car afford to miss this opportunity. At the same time I have planned in co-operation with the Women's Institute of Oxdrift, a Course in Millinery for the ladies, which 1 hope will be equally as well at- tended. The Course will be held in Ox drift Community Hall from Apri conceding the Society's prior claim to proper use of the grounds, and the duration of the lease can be adjusted to the probable outlay, an agreement satisfactory to everybody is possible.

Make your plans now tc attend this Course. In arranging these dates, it was felt that thr Course would come in a time when the farmers would have the best opportunity to attend, as the bush work would then be over and the spring work on the farm would not be started. ® we Quict Wedding The home of Mayor D. G. and Mrs Dingwall was the scene of a very quiet wedding, Wednesday afternoon, when the Doctor's brother, W. H.

One of the most successful affairs arranged by the Girls Guild was the Sleigh Drive this week ont to Demny- Hurst, the beautiful home of Mr and Mrs Edye-de-Hurst, the ever-attractive yendezvous for sleighing parties.

Cowan of Tort William, who is conducting an active campaign in opposition to the pulpwood embargo, is in Dryden today. Mr Cowan takes the stand that an embargo will not do what its supporters claim. He says that the proposed legislation is purely and simply class legislation. A group of pulp and paper mills are trying to force the Government to place an em- bargo on pulpwood so that they will be able to buy wood at their own price.
