And to meet Mr Morrison is to understand why it has fallen to him to stir the con- sciousness of the farming com- munity as no other man has done, until he is universally recognised as the leader of the United Farm- ers' movement. To this man, sprung from a race of farmers, and to whom the '| problems and trials of farm life were familiar from childhood, was 'given the priceless power to render articulate the desires of the world of agriculture. Like a trumpet his voice has called them together from all over this wide Province, to unite for the best that life holds for those who are obliged by occupation to lead more or less isolated lives, scat- tered over the far-flung farmlands TT : of Ontario.

Concert BE WITH hearts swelling with pride the grown-ups in Dryden watched the entertainment furnished by the school children in th Strand! Theatre last week. The perfect naturalness of the, performers, and the astonishing talent they displayed, were a per- formance went so smoothly that it only afterwards occurred to the patrons that the Concert represei- ted a tremendous amount of work and training on the part of both teachers and pupils. Mayor Pitt, who acted as chair- man, emphasized the important influence of such work in extend- ing and broadening the mental outlook of the growing citizen, in fitting them for the future. He had always considered there was something lagking in-an educatio . which did not include a ceitain amount of training for public life. In the big programme it would be difficult to select the best when all was excellent; but it might be permitted to indicate preferences. In group work, a most excellent performance was the singing of "My grandfather's clock" by a chorus of about 20 voices; while 'the Japanese parasol drill was perfectly carried out by ten very highly-trained girls. : In individual performances a few only of the performers need be mentioned as examples. Lily Lewis and Patty Wright, 6-year old tots aroused great enthusiasm as the Eskimo twins. Margaret Hunter, Thelma Brookes, and Nellie Elsey distinguished them- selves by their charming songs, while recitations were given by Ethel Davidson, Alice Lerrey Minnie Reid, Verne Campbell. Wm. Dickson, Nellie Hunter, Jos. Offer. But perhaps the tit-bit of the Jntario, a land rich in promise of Sigger and better things, he sees afresh the opportunity for service, in readiness for the time when out of its abundance will be drawn the sustenance for a great popu- lation for whose coming the pre- parations must now be made. It may be that from this visit will come results of great moment to the future of this district. Mrs R. A. REID, Sec U.E.W.O.

Thompson, of the high school, as a highland dancer ir costume captivated the audience with the highland fling. Her first public appearance in Drydcn esta blished her reputation as a clever performer. The greatest credit must be given to the members o fthe staff who trained the kiddies. To them, 'as always to those who work for impersonal ends, the great sticcess of their effort must be its only reward. The unanimous wish of citizens is that another such entertain- ment be arranged at an early date -- perhaps, some time in April. 'A great reception to the next per- mance is already assured. _ Letter from the Principal. The School Staff would like to New Policeman special meeting Saturday last, to select a policeman for the Town. A short list of five appilcants' had been selected by the police committee out of a total of sev-: enty. After a careful cousidera-} tion of the qualifications of the, various applicants, it was decided to appont Thomas Colliss, of St." James, Winnipeg, to the position. Mr Colliss in his applcation gave the impression of a man | with the proper conception of ths' duties required. He is also high- ly recommended by police officials and prominent citiezns of St James. The new appointee is an exper- ienced officer, both here and over- sas, in Municipal and other police work. He is also a married man. } He served six years with the Canadian army, of which he spent two years in France, two years; with the military police in Lon- don (Eng.), and two years in Winnipeg. : . The new officer will arrive in Dryden on Monday next, to as- sume his duties. NEW APPOINTMENT. His Honour the Lieut.-Gover- nor has been pleased to appoint 1. M.

Mr Jones was astounded to see an account of his own death in the paper. He rang up his best friend at once. "Hallo," he said, "have you seen the announcement of my death in the paper?" "Yes," friend replied, "Where are you speaking from?" In the last few weeks local farmers have delivered over eight- cen hundred cords of pulpwood to Dryden Paper Mill. This repre- sents a considerdble sum of money put in circulation, apart from wood brought in from out- side points. : A sleighing party visited the Bawlfe Lumber Camp the other Sunday, where wood is being taken out for the Dryden Paper Co. PR. | Pronger, onc of the party, declares that they have a regular village out there. "We had a swell time, and the best meal I think I ever ate." The operations are on a big scale, immense loads 'of wood being taken over the specially built ice road, although, being Sunday, the visitors were not pri- vileged to see the camp working. Arrangements are beirg made to secure a full description with Dryden Town Council held alp POVERTY BALL Announcement is made that a overty Ball will be held in the Mill Hall next Friday, March 4.

ST VALENTINE DANCE Ignace made St Valentine Day the occasion of a big dance in the Schoolroom in honor of the saint. No consideration of trouble or expense was allowed to stand in the way of an elegant celebration. The Dryden Orchestra was specially brought down for the event, and the music supplied was out of sight of any we ever before had here. ° | ; The School was very tastefully decoraaed by the ' young ladies, everybody turned out, and the at- mosphere tingled with anticipa- tion as the strains of the first waltz drew the happy valentines out on the floor. : Till close to midnight there was no let-tp in the fun, and just be- fore the supper dance Mr Tom Thomson was called on to auction { off the Valentine boxes.. . The bidding was brisk, and in a very short time the whole lot was disposed of. After deducting all that a balance of over $50 would be turned over to the School. Ignace intends to build a new which are already before Board. In connection, a large public hall will be constructed, the need for which has been felt for a long time. The loyalty of the townspeople is proving equal to the occasion and the new build- ing will be pushed right ahead. the orchestra and the visitors from Dryden who accompanied them, was something to be re- membered, and it would be diffi- cult to say whether Ignace Dryden were better pleased. The one thing sure is that everybody who was there spent one of the most enjoyable evenings they ever had. : | SPRING MILLINERY.
