As it was intended as private corres- pondence and not to be printed, and expresses the ideas of a man who 1s himself a farmer the letter is well worth reading whether or not we agree with all of its state- ments, Another article that is of specia intercst to farmers who intend t help in forming the Clubs will b found on page two. EEE Dear editor--You surely are making a start. Have noted with interest the write-up in Observer about the Clubs. I an: enclosing a clipping which in my opinion is a very timely one. About lack of interest. I must ad- mit that farmers themselves are much to blame by not sticking together. If they did, Lord knows that they could demand nearly anything they wanted. But there is the trouble: How to make them stick! One of our difficulties is that we are more or less egoistic and are working for prifit --not for service. The result is that we are all willing, for profit's sake (that is to say, for direct profit not a lasting and endless profit for all mankind) to take whatever we can get and never mind the other fellow or our own future. Another big consideration is that in g Brignall his where he is wrong--But come anyway. our very own district we find people from all countries of the world living together, who in their hearts are abso- lute strangers the one to the other This you would better analyse if you compare the different races. It is one of our problems--if not our chiefest problem -- to unite all these people for one common cause, and let thew: march under the same banner. Although they may appear to think diffevently, the big problem is the same to all of them: namely, bread and butter! But just here is the trouble-- to get them to realize this. Our hope must be with the rising generation be- cause hey do not feel their first duty is to Old England, or Sunny Spain, or Holy Russia, or something elss Italy, or Sweden, or Finland, or Germany! | We trust they will learn to regard the world as their native land, and the country they live in as their first love and cnly hope; But it is no use to attempt in the small space of a letter to cramp this | all together, so I will ston for now! Yours truly--COSMOPOLITAN. CANADA'S GREAT NEED. "What is needed is a self-denying ordinance on the part of all sections of Canada to uphold policies of strict public econory until our pubic indebt- edness is under effectual control. I am convinced that a substantial re- duction in tavation would maerially stiruulate business and help to promote prosperity to all classes." Thus Sir Thomas White, former fin- ance minister for Canada says. NOTICE. The Reguluar Monthly Meeting held on Friday next, November 27th, at 3.00 p.m. in the basement of the United Church.

Although announced as a "debate," for the sake of bringing out the facts, there was little or no real divergence of opinion between the two principals for affirmative and negative, Mr M. F. Cook and Rev H, A. Rivers, The obvious need of something to provide amusement and interest for the younger people of the Town left little room for discussion except as to the form such an organization should take. he decision to organize a Club was soon reached, and arrangements a to hold meetings every 1 programme to be varied to Thy the interest of the members and make the Club attractive to everybody. The Club will be non-sectarian, the United Church mevely intending its aid to establish and support it; but in no way to interfere with its functions. M. F. Cook was elected President, fe Miss E. V.

During the next few weeks while the seasenal shortage of cream will be on, the Dryden Creamery will close down for a short spell. The manager, Mr S Woods, will take advantage of the op- portunity to undergo an operation that has been neccessary for some tinde and will require a short period for conva- lescence. By the Ist of March, aboat the time the cows will again be giving their full supply of milk the Creamery wiil open up again for the season, with better prospects than it has previously had. So far, the creamery has not paid any dividends to its promoters, and in fact Las cost money to sustain, but that condition was forseen by those who put up the capital and the creamery is now making progress. Next Spring 'there will he more cows brought into the dis. triet,.and the advantages of having the ery here are becoming better appreciated all the time, So there is prospect that next summer will show the best results since its establishment, ANOTHER OLD TIMER PASSES % AWAY.
