The development oi this part of Ontario has been slow but sure, and as time passes, and its great natural advantages becone more. generally known, we can lock forward confidently to a yet greater influx of settlers and business. But Dryden will have to be more up-to- date in the future than it has been in the past, or it will miss the opportuni: ty. Health is one of the first consider ations. The sanitary arrangements : present in force would no doubt have been a credit to a town three hundred years ago, but this is the Twentieth century not the seventeenth.. The water supply is in the same category A walk around the streets is done a one's own risk. Here and There is a piece of cement sidewalk; in anothe: part cinders; in one place one step: up, in another it is down;; and ope: ditches abound everywhere. The ap proach to the town from the statio: is a nightmare, and a search round the place for. a "House Beautiful" i: almost useless. Wake up Dryden anc content with being a back-wood burg.' And whilst on the subject of Dry: den's chances, what has been done tc commemorate the sacrifices of the brave young hearts who left every- thing and gave everything even life itself so that Dryden's Citizens might live in peace and comfort. So fai there has been a lot of talk of Cottage Hosptal, Monuments, Buildings ete., but nothing has yet materialized. I: the great war so far in the back- ground that it.is nothing but a me- mory, and one which a lot of us woulc fain forget, for if we do it is to ow: eternal shame. Those boys livec amongst us, and shared our joys anc sorrows, our struggles and victories. and it is up to the rest of us to show that they died not in vain, So far "We have carved not a line, and raised not a stone, But left them alne in their glory."

On one farm a fairly good return is given, and probably the next one to it will not pay the cost of threshing. By many, this poorness of Clover seed is put down to the extreme heat experienced this summer, but com- paring returns from different sources in thedstrict, it will be found that where bees are kept on the farm there will be found the greatest am- ount of Clover seed.. I In the old Country where clover was grown in regular rotation, it was laid down as an agricultural axiom, "If you want a Clover catch, keep cats." Innoculations of the Clover plant is preformed by bees, principally the bumble bee; the field mouse or vole has a preference for the bees, honey, and consequently destroys the nest to get his delicacy; the cat is the enemy of the mouse, and a number of them zept on the farm naturally lessened the number of mice. Hense the re- lation of the cat is clover. It is a very difficult job to get weather to please everyone. Whilst some were rejoicing in the week-end downpour, as it méant easier work on ma n and beast doing fall plowing, others were stopped threshing. It takes all sorts of people to make a world, or even to make a small section of it. The argument was on co-operation, and the individual in question was quite ndignant to think that the Farmers' should build a store and go into business as opposition to the stove-dealers. It was taking the trade away from those who made their living in that line, and-so on. Seeing a catalogue of one of the mail order house'in the person's hands, the question was asked "If one could buy an article from the mail house for a dollar that could be purchased locally for a dollar and a quarter, wouldn't the outsider get the money? 'Oh yes' but that was quite different from buy- ing from the Co-operatives." -- The "Hired Man" agrees--it is qiute different.-- Although we have not yet got our telephone lines out in the country, we sometimes hear of the funny side of that much-wanted utility. A well- known tradesman was recently rung up by one of his fair customers, who wanted some flesh-coloured stockings sent up to her residence at once, 'as she was going out to a dance. "Cer- tainly" was the response--"which do you dequire, black, pink or yellow?" A very busy man these days is our Agricultural Representative, with all these School Fairs to attend. But I'm sure Mr Cook does not begrudge the time spent as he views the results of the little ones labour from spring to fall. What fears were expressed as the tiny seeds were committed to old Mother Earth, and what delight there was when they sprouted and grew. How carefully they were tended and weeded, and watered. And now what a fine show they make when spread out in competition with others in the School House. And who can tell the pride or joy of each little farmer or farmerette on seeing the tag on his own produce proclaiming' to all that he is the "first." For a time, owing to lack of inter- est on the part of those whose duty it was to look after School Fairs, fears were expressed that they would soon cease to exist. But under Mr Cook's able direction, together with the en- thusiasm and interest which he dis- 'plays in any thing connected wth Ag- riculture, they have taken a new lease of life, and visitors were well repaid for the time * spent in going to the School Fairs. : And it will be well to remember that the boy and girl exhibitors of to- day, will be in a few years possible competitors in the-higger shows, and who can tell but the winner of a prize in cur local school may not by this encouragement be in <the future the champion in the World's Fair--so by your presence encourages the little ones.
