In acâ€" _ ceding to the request of Mr. Hanna not to demand the $2.50 an eight galâ€" _ lon can, the producers stipulated that _ the consumers must enjoy the benefits from the lesser increase. f yB Fifteen Per Cent. Increase The figure of $2.30 is an increase of â€" 15 per cent. and the distributors obâ€" jected, claiming that they should not j shoulder the additional cost, but that the consumers should be made to pay the full amount. They finally acceded. However, they declared that it would y be only fair on the part of the conâ€" sumers not to purchase tickets in acâ€" wcess of what they actwally need for â€" October, because it would be an addiâ€" tional hardship on them, assuming that the price of $2.30 is maintained when the milk committee reports the 3 end of the month, Sixteen tickets for $1 and 33 for $2 is not an equal diviâ€" w i# The executive of the Milk Produâ€" cers‘ Association is composed of the following members: E.

H. Stonehouse of Weston, who is the president of the Milk Producers‘ Association. "Peoâ€" ple living in the city do not realize that the farmers have been operating in the dairy business at a loss, and that the tremendous advance in the price of fodder makes the increased price necessary." "Are the producers satisfied with the price agreed on for the month of October?" asked a reporter for The World. After a lengthy discussion between the food controller, Hon. W. J. Hanna, and the executive of the Milk Produâ€" cers‘ Association in the York County Chambers, Adelaide Street, on Saturâ€" day morning, the price of milk for October was set at $2.30 for the cight gallon can, pending the decision of the commission now sitting at Ottawa, who will fix the standing price. MILK PRODUCERS AGREE TO COMPROMISE PAGE TWO The picture conveys a little of what the Canada Cycle & Motor Company means to Weston and this district. It contains about 450 persons all told. Each one is employed by this large and progressive firm in the manufacture of bicycles and skates. Yet this is not all. The night shift is not included, nor a lot who were away on holidays. The company is a big asset to Weston. . While it gives employment to over 600 people, while it helps reduce our cost on the Hydro, it brings men from all over Canada and the States to Weston. Weston is receiving through this company advertisement that could not be duplicated with money. About a month ago nearly 160 bicycle dealers gathered. They came from the far East and the West to meet in convention. These dealers were brought together by the firm for the purpose of discussing the trade propositions. They brought them out and spent a half day in Weston and at the plant. Over 150men, all progressive business men, now know of Weston. They talk of the well kept and well fitted plant at Weston. They relate their experiences to their friends and tell each one of Weston. Thus the great convention was not only a boon to the bicycle dealers, but was a big boon to our own little town. A little more encouragement should be given to induce the men of this progressive firm and employees to locate in Weston. The minds and brains could be utilized for the building up of our town. The company have made a vast difference in the appearance of Eagle Avenue. They are to be be given to induce the men of this prog) congratulated upon the results attained For August, 1917 For August, is as close as it is possible 1917 12 T07 815 T762 15 645 14 10 10 15 14 24 12 27 17 47 19 1092 115 686 48 $ 75 1035 135 681 96 95¢ 11 200 277 214 273 10 44 10 14 We had eyed the girl of the rudâ€" dy locks and the green sweater coat with interest. It was so differâ€" ent from the city ways of purchasâ€" ing produce, to deal with a smiling young person gut there in the green fields, with the sun shining down on you and the girl and the fields, and the air sweet with the smell of garden produce. Must we then fill the unenviable role of merely looking on, while others oozing with satisfaction, bore away their bags and baskets, and farmers‘ sons and daughters pocketed their gains? We just naturally gravitated to and while the small sons eyed the rosy cheeked apples temptingly displayed, thrifty parents sought out the humble potato in its sack and the monster cabbages at five cents per cab. Inâ€" cidentally beautiful potatoes were sellâ€" ing for a dollar twentyâ€"five a bag, while those a shade smaller were a dollar fifteen. ; It Can‘t Be Done Wandering hungrily about the imâ€" provised market, we could not but acknowledge that motors have their advantages. For how could we carry a bag of potatoes over one shoulder, a sack of carrots over the other, a basket of melons and another of pears on our arms with a few dozen corn scattered through our pockets, while we rolled a pumpkin ahead of us down to the station and eventually along the city streets to our happy home. As the silly little pictures say "it can‘t be done." No! fate and a girl with ruddy gold hair had something vastly more entertaining in store for us. "It‘s great fun," was the laughing answer. Purchasers‘ cars were lined up along the road, for this market is on the highway between Hamilton and Toronto. As many as fifty cars were there at once. There were people from the neighâ€" boring district and people from the city, and their motors groaned and bulged beneath the bags of potatoes and corn and cabbages and apples and other produce that they had purâ€" chased. ed i"Gee is there gonna be a show?" asked a small rustic hopefully. \ At the Market A dozen or more farmers‘ carts and farmers‘ motors backed up, formed, speaking broadly, a hollow â€" square. The baskets of vegetables and fruit were arranged on the grass, on boards and trestles, on the carts and on the motors. We just naturally gravitated to the girl with the rusty hair, and when she and small brother George decidâ€" ed to harness up, and dash back to the farm for more corn, we begged to be dashed too. + "Sure," she laughed down from her seat, so we scrambled up beside her on the farm cart, and rattled off down the highway. "Get up, Puss! Get along there," and our green coated driver clicked her tongue in that mysterious fashâ€" ion which horses interpret as a reâ€" quest to put more speed into their heels. / Talk about a race for life! There we were with _corn in our corn field, and customers at the market. Even "Puss" got the spirit of the adâ€" venture, and we careered through the farm gate and along the road in fine style. Personally we madly clutched the elusive edge of our elevated seat and hung on to the footâ€"rail with our toes as Puss took curves and jolted over ditches. Sure enough, when we reached the top of the road, there, opposite a quaint little country church, was the market. It consisted of a garage, now risen to the exalted state of an office with telephone installed. What might have been a cireus tent was also part of the equipment. $ Then down from our seat, and off with our coats as we arrived in the farm yard, and, armed with potato sacks away to the corn patch! Lost in Corn Patch We do not pretend to be much of an authority on corn patches, but It is quite obvious that the really correct way to attend. this fascinatâ€" ing little country roadside market, is to chug out along the Torontoâ€"Ham4 ilton highway in your fifty thousand dollar motor, like all the other milâ€" Nonaires.. But having used all our gasoline to clean gloves and lacking the also somewhat essential motor,our arrival was less picturesque, though mote assured. we would say that this must be the highest and biggest and most proâ€" ductive the sun ever shone on. Anyway it was big enough for us to get lost in. The stalks towered high in air above our head as having been initialed in the art of gathering the corn by our sunnyâ€"haired companion, we proceedâ€" ed down the rows, in and out, joyâ€" Clarksons being the little communâ€" ity that has burst into fame with its roadside market, and thus the exâ€" cuse for our journeyings this sunny September afternoon, we dropped off at the wayside station. We followâ€" ed the little brown path up a country road, where the trees all but met ovâ€" erhead, and where. a whiff of pine and the sweet, clean air made one feel ridiculously young and pleased with oneself. Oddly enough you really could make out what he said. The fact stands as an isolated instance of. such an aâ€" chievement. AN AFTERNOON‘S ADVENTURE AT A WAYSIDE MARKET "Clarksons!"" bellowed the brakesâ€" man. "How do you like it?" we had askâ€" THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CANADA CYCLE AND MOTOR WORKS, WESTON In the meantime the interest of those not swarming for corn, was centred on the ‘"‘Dutch sale," going on in the big tent. When you have. a "Dutch sale" you start the arâ€" ticle offered, at the market price,‘ and instead of going forward you go backward, and the first bidder. gets the article. Nothing spectacular happened. Big baskets of plums sold for .50 cents. Large baskets of beautiful apples went for 75 cents. There was little change from the prices as they had been through the day, but those had been so different from city prices that people needed no further inducement. Market Prices Beautiful tomatoes were twenty and thirty cents a basket, and 40 cents for yellow tomatoes. A potato bag of carrots was only 55â€" cents (city prices were 85) and a bag of onions $1.75. Golden bantam corn was 15 cents and evergreen corn 20 cents a dozen. Beans were 50 cents a basâ€" ket, whereas wholesale city prices had been 60. â€"Green tomatoes were 15 cents a basket. Cucumbers _ were 25 cents a basket. A cabbage three times the size of your head was five cents. Beets were 20 and 25 cents? a basket.‘ Cauliflower were 15 cents a picce. Someone. had brought in a few young ducks, which â€" sold at $1.00 each. Splendid. big rosy Alexander apples were 80 cents with smaller ones at 50. Melons were 40 and 50 cents a big basket. Plums were 60 cents a big basket. Snow _ apples (just for jelly) were 30 cents. Pears were 50 and 60 cents. Crabs were 50, 75 and 85. The market has taken remarkably well. It only began a week ago last Saturday. Mr. Sydney Preston, of Clarkson, evolving the plan, which has met the favor of the farmers and the buyers. Mr. Preston had figured out that, eliminating the profits of the middlemen and getting right from producer to consumer,, it would be possible to sell even below wholesale prices. And this is what is actually happening. His plans for the future go furâ€" ther. For instance they are ready to take orders from consumers in the city, for by paying at the rate of 5 cents a basket, the produce can be delivered at your door â€" even the day you order it if you order it in time. They keep the little office open every day, and have market days on Thursday: and Saturday. Thanksgiving Day they are planning to have a big day. It does seem as though it were Consumers‘ League to leap in, so an opportunity for the talkedâ€"of that city people might more generâ€" ously reap the benefits. It took just about five minutes to dispose of the entire cart load at twenty cents a dozen. One woman took eleven dozen to can for the winter. Mr. and Mrs. W. Mitchell and daughter Florence of South Wolsey have returned home after spending a few weeks with Mr. and Mrs. A. Chapâ€" man, Etopicoke. The annual harvest thanksgiving services were ned in Christ Church at Humber Bay last Sunday. Holy communion was celebrated at the morning service and Rev. Mr. Turney, rector in charge, preached a very fitâ€" ting and fine sermon. Mr. Petten of Trinity College was the speaker for the evening. He gave a very inspiring message to the large number present. All went home with a deeper desire to do good. The church was beautiâ€" fully decorated with fruit, grain and flowers. On Monday evening a sale of vegetables was held. Proceeds to be used for church work, it being the purpose of the people to replace the present windows with leaded ones. And bless you! If you could have witnessed that reception! It might have been a load of gold bricks. Selling Corn The maid of the rusty locks unâ€" harnessed "Puss." George was alâ€" ready selling corn so fast. he could scarcely count the money. With a rush everyone loaded up. What if our proper city suit was of the earth earthy? All that mattered was to get back to market with our load. "You hold Puss," exclaimed one green _ coated chum â€" breathlessly, trustfully placing the reins in our untutored hand, as she, too, leaped into the thick of the fray. That was all very well, but lackâ€" ing a sense for locating sound, it merely let us know that someone else really was somewhere in that five million acre corn patch, Eventâ€" ually, George, with a beautiful grin on his face, had to dig us out and guide our erring footsteps ane 2ur sack"of corn back to the cart. Which way had we come in? Which way could we get out? We yoddled soulfully and Miss Sunny Hair yoddled back from _a distance. i It was when the bag was growing heavy on our back, and we were ready to find Miss Sunny Hair and little brother eGorge that we realâ€" ized the absurd fact that we were lost in the corn patch, with nothing but green corn stalks to left and to right, before and behind and above us. ously claiming all that was black tasâ€" seled. THISTLETOWN HUMBER BAY THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 1917 Two generations of Jews in exile had dreamed of the return. Jerusaâ€" lem and the land had appeared to them glorified, the life had been idealized. The pioneers of the reâ€" turn were disillusioned; they found desolation everywhere, the land was barren, Jerusalem was in ruins, the neighboring people were hostile. Those early days were days of intense disâ€" couragement which threatened to ovâ€" erwhelm them. Some scores of thousands of Jews remained in Judah through all the period of the exile. They were the poorest of the land, from whom every man of substance and of energy had been sifted; mere groups of peasants without a leader and without a cenâ€" tre; disorganized and depressed; bitâ€" ten by hunger and compassed by eneâ€" mies; uneducated and an casy prey to the heathenism by which they were surrounded. , We can appreciate the silence which reigns in the Bible regarding: them, and which has misâ€" led us as to their numbers. They were a negligible quantity in the religious future of Israel; without initiative or any influence except that of a dead weight upon the efforts of the reâ€" builders of the nation when these at last returned to Babylania. â€" Dr. George Adam Smith, in "Jerusalem." THIS WEEK‘S 5.5. LESSON Golden Text: ‘"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.‘"‘â€"Psa. 126: 5. PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE (Psalms 85 and 126) Applications for exemption may be made by written notice on forms which will be available at every post office, and will be transmitted free of postage. They will not, however, be required to be made in this way; but may be presented by the applicants in person to the exemption triâ€" bunals. The cases of those who have given written notice in advance will take precedence, and appearance in person will therefore be likely to involve considerably more inconvenience and delay to the men conâ€" cerned, so that it is recommended that advantage be generally taken of the facilities for written application. A proclamation will issue calling out the bachelors and widowers referred to and fixing a day on or before which every man must report for service to the military authorities unless he has before that day made an application for exemption. Questions of exemption will be determined, not by the military authorities or by the Government, but by civil tribunals composed of representative men who are familiar with local conditions in the comâ€" munities in which they serve, who will generally have personal knowledge of the economic and family reasons which those whose eases eeme before them have had for not volunteering their services and who will be able sympathetically to estimate the weight and importance of such reasons. Provincial Appellate Tribunals constituted from the existing judiciary of the respective provinces will be provided to correct mistakes made by Local Tribunais, and a Central Appeal Tribunal for the whole of Canada, selected from among the present Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada, will be constituted in order that identical principles may be applied throughout the country. In this way every man may rest assured of the fair and full consideration of his circumstances and the national requireâ€" ments both civil and military. How to apply for exemption Ottawa, September 11, 1917. sary since the military authorities report that the reserves available or in sight for reinforcement will shortly be exhausted unless this step be taken. Proclamation will announce the day ‘The present call will be limited to men not in the schedule of excepâ€" tions who were unmarried or widowers without children on 6th July,1 917, are at least twenty years of age, and were born on or since January 1st, 1883. Of this Class all those will be entitled to conditional exemption whose services in their present occupations, agricultural, industrial or other, are essential in the national interest, and whose business or domesâ€" tic reponsibilities are such that serious hardship would ensue if their services be required. Conscientious scruples based upon & prohibition of combatant service by the articles of faith of the religious denomination to which men belong will also be respected. The men first required to serve will consequently be those who can be called upon with the least disturbance of the economic and social life of the country. Reinforcements under the Military Service Act immediately required It is the intention of the Government immediately to exercise the power which the Act confers and to call out men for military service in order to provide reinforcements for the Canadian forces. This‘_is_r{eces- Civil Tribunals to deal with exemptions HE MILITARY SERVICE ACT has received the assent of the I Governorâ€"General and is now part of the law of the land. It will be enforced accordingly, and the patriotism and good sense of the people can be relied upon to support it. Resistance to its enforcement, however. by word or act must and will be repressed, as resistance to any other law in force must be. First call limited to men between 20 and 34 who were unmarried or widowers without children on July 6, 1917 Military Service Act, 1917 Explanatory Announcement by the Minister of Justice § When the army of Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem the city was sackâ€" ed and burned. The walls round about were broken down, the Tefi'nple, the king‘s palace, and "every great house," were burned, and the whole city was left in ruins. The treasures of the Temple were carried to Babyâ€" lon. While some of the Jews that remained in the land may have dwelt in the city, thgir wretched _ homes could only have made the holy city seem more desolate still to the returnâ€" ing Jews who had heard such glowâ€" ing accounts of its beauty and granâ€" deur. The Eightyâ€"fifth Psalm was eviâ€" dently written soon after the return to Jerusalem of some of the exiles from Babylon. It voices first the exultation which the people had felt at the prospect: of return; then the depression caused by the actual condiâ€" tion of affairs, the difficulties and hardships; and finally the assurance of help and blessings that came as they waited on God. The Psalms are the great hymns which the people sang in their temâ€" pleâ€"worship, and some of our best loved hymns are but variations of them. They are "the songs of the heart," the expressions of actual exâ€" periences, voicing humility, and conâ€" fession, thanksgiving and praise, fear and hope, anxieties and aspirations and triumphâ€"all the deep and bitâ€" ter experiences of life. It would greatly simplify matters if we would get hold of the idea that spiritual power is no other than the will of God streaming into us and becoming our will. All through the ages this Eternal Will has streamed into . institutions and personalities. CANADA Go, for example, into a great mill or factory. At one end are the large ‘engine.and driving wheel. At the other end are scores, perhaps hunâ€" dreds, of machines standing still. There is no lack of power in the enâ€" gine, and no lack of willingness in the engineer to pass it along to the factory, but still the machines are moâ€" tionless. What is the matter? Simply this: the great belt which transmits the power from the engine to the facâ€" tory has not been slipped on. Let that be attended to and immediately every wheel begins to turn and someâ€" thing is done. Now spiritual power, as I understand it, is simply bolting my will on to=the will of God.. The man who does that most completely, who keeps the belt most tight so that the power lost through transmission is reduced to the minimum, is alâ€" ways the mightiestâ€"spiritual force. Most of us are weak because the belt is cither off altogether, or so slack and loose that it carries very little of the power of the engine over into the factory. Robert F. C&y]e, in "The Church and the Times." in some epoch making reformation and now in some great religious awaâ€" kening. Society has been lifted and purified just in proportion as it has opened itself to this stream of the Diâ€" vine purpose. Every improvement in social conditions, every movement to elevate and save the masses, every enâ€" deavor to Christianize the heathen, every step of progress toward the brotherhood of man, has been causâ€" ed by the instreaming of the will of God. These things are done by the push of the very forces that rule in ne heart of the Eternal Father. Now it has flashed out in prophetic illumination, now become the mover Notice of the day appointed for the making of a claim for exemption or for report for military service will be published as widely as possible, but, as no personal notice can be given until the individuals called out have so reported themselves or claimed exemption, men possibly conâ€" cerned are warned to inform themselves with regard to the day fixed, since neglect may involve the loss by them of important privileges and Watch for the Proclamation rights. As reinforcements are required, notice to report to the nearest mobilâ€" ization centre will be given from time to time to the men found liable and passed as fit for service. Disobedience of such notice will render the offender liable to punishment, but punishment for failure to report for military service, or to report subsequently for duty when called upon; will be imposed ordinarily by the civil magistrates; offenders, however; will remain liable for the performance of their military duties notwithâ€" standing any civil punishment which may be imposed and will be liable to military punishment in cases in which civil proceedings are not taken. Notice to join the colors No man who reports for service will, although he may be medically examined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or join a battalion until after a day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of the disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the applicaâ€" tions for exemption which may come before them. Thus no advantage will be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. Facilities for immediate medical examination Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will sit at every mobilization centre for the examination of men who report for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply for exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to allay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and in advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required. Men who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military authorities for service either by mail or in person at any time after the issue of the proclamation. â€" Forms of report by mail will be found in all post offices, and, like applications for exemption, will be transmitted free of postage. Early report advantageous A Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named in the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each Provincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appliâ€" cations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sitâ€" tings, and men who have sent these in will not be required to attend the tribunals until notified to do so. Other applicants should attend perâ€" sonally on the tribunal without notice. How to report for service The local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay possible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to compose them, and the instruction of the members in their duties. There will be more than one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each consisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint Committee of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the existing Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of tribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than one place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in obtaining the disposition of their cases. Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada CHAS. J. DOHERTY, Our Prayer.â€"Father, I have sinâ€" ned, in that I have been unhappy toâ€" day. How could I be so miserable when all through the day thou didst uphold me with thy. love and care? Forgive me, Lord, for thus dishonorâ€" ing thee, and give me such a sense of what thou art to me that henceforth when I am unhappy for lack of anyâ€" thing, I may remember that I have thee and be satisfied. . Amen.â€"Dr. Edward Leigh Pell. * he Yes; the life of the world is joyâ€" less because it thrusts God from its thought. If our life be joyless, it is because we talk of God but fail to throw open the door of our heart so that the life of God may come in and possess us. ‘ You know how a living spring gushâ€" es up from the earth. It does not depend on showers or the inflowing of rivulets. It is not fed from the surface. It has its sources deep down in the bosom of the rock.. The joy of God, if his life be in your heart, is such a living spring. It rises from depths that nothing can exhaust. It deepens with its outflowing. It will not ebb away when you need it most. You can drink of it in the heat of batâ€" tle and in the weary marches of the day and when you stand a lone senâ€" tine] in the storm and darkness of the night. "Rejoice in the Lord," says Paul. He repeats the word "rejoice," as if this were the emphatic word.. The life and religion of toâ€"day need to ponder this reiterated command of the Chrisâ€" tian apostle. Christ came to bring God‘s joy of men. Joy for evermore belongs to the sisterhood of Christian graces.â€"Condensed from "Interpreâ€" tations of Life and Religion," by W. R. Battershall.
