Let us continue to fight the good fight of filth. - Paul endured great hardships in serving Christ as many of you have done in active service. It was faith which enabled him to do so. We must have that same faith it we are to Christ "who loved us and gave himself for us." His suffering and sacrifice masses that of any man. We feel this as: we contemplate His death upon the cross. There is in His death atone- ment for our sin if we believe in Him. honor and that of our women and children. We would again rise to de- fend a just cause. We have also the duty of living as we ought in peace time. We owe our whole conception of right living to for texnporal blessings. Our ption of the festival has been Mened and deepened. We give s for spiritual blessings, for peace have been bought. We are saddened then we think of the price that has been paid. We honor' those who have made the supreme sacrifice and we ren- der thanks to God who has spared us. The thought of the Armistice con- nected with Thanksgiving has given the occasion a sadder, but deeper signi- ficance. Friends at home have honored ‘ the fallen with memorials, realizing“ the truth of the words: "Greater love hath no man than this. that a man lay down his life for his friends.” We. who has been spared. know the horrors of war as no one else can. We have a duty to the rising generation to teach them that war is the last thing! to be desired. while peace is to be! sought as long as it can be'had con- sistently with honor and virtue.

Smith, youthful farmer of iEkfrid Township, has astonished the experts by producing an average of 290 bushels of potatoes on an acre of land. The production is considered most exceptional by agricultural men. A crop of 29 bushels were produced on one-tenth of an acre this year in a contest sponsored by the department of l agriculture and the Chamber of Com-l merce, and his production was the thhest. They cost an average of 30c.

Brief and interesting addresses were delivered during the evening by Mr. Victor Porteous M. P. for North Grey. Mr. Wilfred Squire and Mr. George COOper, Agricultural Representative for Grey County. and his assistant, Mr. Langton. all of whom dealt with the many advantages which accrue to the farmer in the installation of hydro ! It was explained that there are three different methods by which hydro power might be brought into the town~ ship. One is to bring it direct from the Eugenia plant. another is to bring it from Meaford, and the third is to step the power down from the high tension power lines at a station to be erected, which will mean the erection of a small sub-station at Rock- lyn. on Monday evening the members of Mr. E. G. Gurnett, one of the assist- ant engineers of the Hydro-Electric iPower Commission of Ontario, was !present at the meeting, and he ex- plained very fully and satisfactorily the various schemes under which hydro power could be installed. going very ex- haustively into the plan for the farm- ers, giving estimates of the cost and his explanation of the uses to which hydro could be put on the farm was quite enlightening and instructive. all who desire to connect up with the Hydro. ’ Euphrasia township farmers are Imaking a concentrated effort to secure Hydro power in the very near future. and it is understood that quite a large Ipercentage of them are heartily in favor of having the power brought to their farms as quickly as possible. A meeting was held on Wednesday night at Rocklyn which was attended by over 50 farmers and the whole matter was discussed at considerable length. and at the conclusion it "was decided to ap- ‘ point special committees to make a! canvass of the situation and to sign up} EUPHRASIA FARMERS WANT HYDRO EXTENDED lat Week’s Meal-3rd Mirror Reports Enthusiastic Meetingâ€"Hydro Oflicial Explains Procedure. sents.
