WILLARD will carry on - His Business in future STRICTLY CASH. No further credit will be given. Dear Editor:--I must tell you a very tragic story. You know, coming from our post office and going home, I found a new coat (Yes, and it was in a fairly good shape.) But honest as I am, I looked for some 'marks' on the coat which might make it possible to re- turn it to the rightful owner. But not finding any familiar marks on the outside, I put my hand into the in- side; perhaps I might find something there--yes, there was a piece of paper which, behold my amazement, was nothing less than a bank note of 100, 000 Marks, Now dear Editor, I am only a man of very modest means, and believe me, holding in my hand a fortune of 100,000 Marks, or in Canad- ian money, $25,000, was an experience I have never had before. No I did not want to find the owner of the coat. I just started to figure what an honest (7) man could do with $25,000. (Now I had it all spent, and was feel- ing very bright). Coming home I did not like the sup- per, of course carrying $25,000.00 in something more. The wife (she is very wise you know) smelled there was something wrong. She came in after she had put the kids to bed, and drew me so far that I told her the whole story and how fine it would be after this, and all that kind of stuff. But womnien ave very funny, at least She is, and she wanted to see my treasure, and 1 showed it to her, she just started to laugh, dear oh dear, it was awful. Ab first I thought it was just out of sheer joy, but she did no t stop for a long while. Well after she had quit laugh- ing, she told me 1 was a fool. stand, and she went away and came back later with a little box, mind you she had not only one, but a whole box full of those blooming 100,000 and still bigger bank notes. That was not the worst. In the meantime she told me those were German Mark notes, no longer of value and out of circulation. 1 don't know what this means, but any- way she explained to me that the 100,- 000 Notes I found were not worth a cent. In future I promised to he honest and mot to find any more coats with bank notes in them.--Yours truly -- DISAPPOINTED. Binders Begin to Hum.

One fellow goes so far as to say he has the best he ever had, and mind you, this baby is only 65 years old . Anyway there is a very hopeful spirit among the people. Hay has been well above the average, and has also been harvest- ed in fairly good condition. Next week the binder will start to hum in our section. Housewives and little fellows are very busy just now gathering the wild fruit, which is also very plentiful. Raspberries and Blueberries especially. Many baskets are being shipped from here to western points. % % * % 3% The Settler's Hope-- The Northern Development Branch has started to build a half mile road south of mile post 85, which will give tourists an opportunity to spend some very happy hours at the Eagle Lake. Settlers hope this will not be the only work done here. Since in some sections the need of roads is really urgent and much overdue. But with the many ready and competent hands, no doubt there will be more ac- complishe. ®* ¥ 2% ¥ % Gets Position with Ford Co.-- Mr Fred Moeser has been to Dry- den in connection with a land frans- action. They will leave shortly for Detroit, where he has accepted a posi- tion with the Ford Motor Company. Fire Destroys Home-- The last few days have been very unlucky ones for our settlement.

Mr Jahmert on awakening, heard an un usual noise, and on investigating the matter discovered his building ablaze. Mr Jahnert who has been an invalid for some time, just had time to awaken his daughter, and gather a few belong- ings, and in a very short time the building was nothing more than a smouldering heap. The walls, which were of cement are partly standing. In the latter case some insurance was carried; no insurance was carried rede recovered, but no insurance was carried iby Mr Winfield. § ; distinction to the place where, un- EE AE Pn I NLT on SABE FOR many reasons the meeting in the Community Hall, Oxdrift, called by Mr F. T. Brignall, to hear the address of Peter Heenan, M.P.P., on Saturday night should be a well-attended one. While a number will be away attending the Progressive-Labour rally at Ke- nora, there will be enough unable to make that trip to fill the Oxdrift hall. Mr Heenan just got back from his trip to the Old Country, where he was present at the big Labour conference in London, and will give an interesting account of con-} ditions there--facts gained by actual personal contact with rep- resentative leaders in British pub- lic life. Mr Heenan also enjoyed the re- markable triumph which is the ambition of practically all young men, but only experienced by one in millions: coming back in some honoured and unknown, he spent his early years. What ecstasy, to have one's hand clasped by those who once were innocent of recog- nition, but now are proud to claim acquaintance! The mesting, as usual, is open to all who are not fireside barna- cles. Be there.
