S. Oliver, 3. Daniels. G. Canada’s small Showing of 2,106,- 000 sheep is not a matter for con- gratulation. The conditions in Ca- nada, natural and otherwise, are such as to lead one to expect a con- tinually expanding trade in this branch of animal industry. The Government report says the soil and climate in every province of the do- minion are generally favorable and adapted to the keeping of sheep. Geographically the country is so well situated as to give it a peculiar advantage as regards competition in Australia, of course, is the great- est shéep raising country in the world, with 92,241,226 or sheeting age. Argentina. has 67,211,754, the United States 51,216,000, including lambs. In Great Britain, with its comparatively insignificant area, there are 31,852,777 sheep. ed sheep in the same praportion as the farmers of New aniand, this country would possess something like 170,000,000 head. the greaâ€"t consuming markets of the world. Notwithstanding those facts the trade in recent years has con- tinually declined. ma..~.~ Treat. G. Shoulqme.

Lindsay has “taken her cue" and the town has joined the ranks of the boosting towns and cities. In fut- ure the glaring motto will be "Lind- say, first, last and always.” The boost dinner held in the Hotel Ben- son Wednesday which was attended by over one hundred enthusiastic boosters, and which was the first of its kind ever held in Lindsay, was resultant in imuumg all present with the necessity of boosting Lindsay " Here‘s conlusion to the knocker, my hard luck hold him down ; ”Here's to get a. booster who will “boost” him out of town." “We need fearless men who will dare to take a vchance. ”That will push us to the front , and help us to advance; “Men who will think and then go and taking a. real live interest in the town. hour of adjournment. The ban- quet proper did not start on time the result being that the speakers were waxiilg eloquent long after midnight. Mayor Dr. Wood. char- acterized as the Chief Booster, oc- cupied the position of Toastmaster, and filled the position in a very aq- ceptable manner. During the course the banquet, several well-known songs were rendered, including, “The Maple Leaf Forever," "Old Black J 08," “In the Evening by the Moon- light,” “By the Light of the Silvery Moon," “Come Josephine," . “So Long Mary," “Somebody's Waiting for You,” “Gee, But its Great to Meet a. _ Friend,” “In My Home Town," “Old Folks at Home,“ “Boost," and ” :od Save the King."

The spirit he tried to instill and imbue into thepeople of Lindsay was that there is only one town on earth, Lindsayâ€"and that it cannot be compared to any other town in America. He emphasized that he was a booster, enthusiast and optimist for Lindsay. Mr. McCoomb referred to his work in connection with the Taylor-Scott industry, which was seeking lOCation in Lindsay. Plans were also under Lindsay to employ 100 men. The commission was doing good work and Lindsay was being boomed at country.

The speaker had visited the manuiacturers in Lindsay and found out what material they turn- ed out and how many pounds. As a booster he had to have the facts. " Be imbued with the one thing that we are going to boost, push and lift for Lindsay. Know what advantag- es Lindsay has and present the ac- tual (acts. Learn what Lindsay is. know what Lindsay is. know that Victoria county is the best county in Ontario, forget that there is a pos- [sibility of the dark side. The man that. boosts the town also boosts himself. It the town prospers the citizens prosper." . z " COMMERCE." Mr. McDonald, of Saskatoon, the first speaker. stated that the above city prospered simply because the people there were boosters. and if Lindsay people followed out the prin- ciples outlined by previous speakers Lindsay would prosper. It was es- sential that there be unity. In Sas- katoon political campaigns . were fought strenuously, but the day a!- ter the election men on both parties united and boosted for Saskatoon. Saskatoon was extensively and well boosted. owing largely to having a. very efficient publicity commissioner, and the city spent over $10,000 an- nunlly in advertising the city. '1‘ he commissioner attended all big con- ventions and invited the convention to meet in Saskatoon next year. Every person in the city was at the back of the commissioner and the board of trade.

O'Rielly said he always be- lieved in Lindsay and considered the town the best in Canada. The speaker stated that always Lindsay should be foremost, citizens should pull together, rich and poor. great and small. The best part of the town was the east ward and the new station for the C.N.R. was to be built in the east ward, and there- fore all the «new industries would be built in that ward. " THE LADIES." Mr. A. G. Simpson stated that he could talk volumes to the ladies. The women were the great boosters and if they and the men put their shoulders together and boost for Lindsay ghe town would surely go Mr. I. E. Weldon stated that the jeeloueies in Lindsay were merely trifles, however. there should be co- hesion and all should boost togeth- er. The speaker referred to the re- duction in the power bill and the fact that the Seymour Power Com- pany contributed 8200 to the com- mission and the town reaped the benefit. Lindsay would in time be reaping large benefits from being connected with the Seymour Power Company. The banquet broke up with the singing o! the national anthem.
