Of May 10th, 1917 TRAVERSTON EDGE HILL As funds in the Ladies’ Aid Red Cross have run low, Mr. Tom Wilson a week or so ago spoke to us about canvassing the neighborhood about contributions, but as such has not been done so far this spring, he made the donation of two cords of wood, delivered anywhere inside of five miles, and they are going to (lismse of it in the usual way, by the sale of tickets. His action may urge the rest of the fellows to a contribution of money or something else. Mr. Wm. Allan's funeral was very largely attended, despite the in- clemency of the weather. Rev. B. M Smith, his pastor, had charge of the service, but Rev. Mr. Whaley was also there and spoke of the deceased as he knew him, and it was on account of the willingness of the deceased to give help or comfort to any person in need that he was there, as he did not make a practice of attending funerais, out- side his own people. The remains were laid to rest in Maplewood cemetery. As a lifelong neighbor and intimate friend of the deceased we could also testify very much to his worth. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

One fruit grower, last season, made four trips 21. day to the railway station. a total of 144 miles, and carried as high as 72 crates of 1]. quarts each on a trip. He couldn’t have made more than one 36 mile trip a day with a team. The F 0' d soon pays for itself in the time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every preciou minute of his time. To him the Ford car is a real necessity. Indeed, some farmer- tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under pres- entconditirms if it wasn’t for the time the Ford saves them.
