With respect to milk products it is interesting to note that the exports or butter for the twelve months ending Sepember 1930 were 1,163,300 lbs. as compared with 1,666,800 lbs. for the corresponding period in 1929. The' ex- ports of chese were only 80,923,900 lbs. 3 compared with 102,200,700 lbs. for the same period in 1929. Exports of condensed milk were 14,500,000 odd lbs. as compared with 17,800,000 odd lbs. and the exports of milk powder were 4.495.800 lbs. as compared with 5,343,- 700 lbs. last year. The exports of evaporated milk were 9,469,400 tbs. valued at $1,084,714, as compared with 6,905,200 tbs. valued at _$778_.173, for the corresponding period revenue. The figure for the period concerned for 1930 being $2,885,103 nd for the same period last year $4,087,870. During the same period exports of fresh milk amounted to 1,936,523 gallons or practically 50 per cent less than in the corresponding period in 1929. The selling value of fresh mill: shows about the same proportion of decline. The total for this period under review for 1929 being $429,721 as compared with $848,153 for the same period last year. The current news letter of the Dairy and Cold storage branch of the Deâ€" partment of Agriculture contains some interesting information with respect to the decline in the export of milk, cream and milk products to the United States. For the twelve months ending Sep- tember 1930 the export of cream am- ounted to 1,465,115 gallons as compared with 2,495,207 gallons for the corres- ponding period last year. This repre- sents a decrease of over $2,000,000 in Mrs. Nell McLean, delegates from the local clubs leave on Saturday for To- ronto to be in attendance at the con- ventlon which is to be held there next Mr. and Mrs. James Miller were visit- ors with friends in Williamstord the first of the week.

His Lordship called upon the mem- bers of the Masonic order to stand by that which was right.

Reference was made to Russia in the old days when the Czar was supreme. The common people were harshly dealt with. In- stead of justice they received bullets. As a result we had the revolution fol- lowing the late war.

Preached to Masons At 3:30 Sunday [afternoon BishOp Farthing preached a special sermon to the local Masonic Lodge. The after- noon was stormy and very few came in from the country, but at that about fifty were present. His Lordship’s ad- dress was on “Righteousness.” Every good thing in this world could be at- tributed to this quality. There could Let us get a clear conception of God and His interest in us. We are made in the image of God for a grand- er purpose than merely to make money. "' "'" | Gate receipts at practically all the race track meetings showed an appre- ciable falling off.

What a medley our life would be if God answered our prayers literally; as prostration. Giving to God thanks, praise and offering ourselves to God; our souls and bodies to be a reasonable sacrifice. We can understand why some love, it is profitable, congenial, mutual, it makes for reciprocal welfare. but love Which sacrifices itself for others with- out ulterior motive is difficult to under- stand. It is. beyond us. Here is the right conception of God’s love. Some afraid of God. fear His power. His might. His wrath, but that is not love. Our Father is the conception that should influence our lives. What he has done and is doing for us is wonder- ful. What he is eager to do for us, and through us is still more wonder- ful. subjects of worship and prayer. When we described a noble character as a man fond of honor, principle and jus- tioe. we felt better for it ourselves. We cannot praise others without feel- ing their influence. Their influence is expressed in life. If God is to influ- ence us, flrst ask ‘What is our concep- tion of Him? Is He worthy of our praise? Our religion is no greater than our conception of God. Our true con- ception of God is as the Father of mankind With all that a virtuous father can and does mean. The giver and sustainer of life. He alone perpetuates life. Again our conception of God is manifest in the Son of God. Jesus Christ. The Word made flesh and dwelt amongst us. Manhood thus united with God. Again God, the Holy Ghost, dwelling in the heart of man, revealing His thoughts. His righteous- ness. His purposes for us. and for the world. Not mere power. but love man- ifest in His works expressed our con- ception of God. We see this expressed in the sacrifice of our Lord and Saviour who sacrificed Himself for the object of His love. from Isaiah “The living. he shall praise Thee, as I do this day; the father to the childten shall make known thy Show God to the world, by the life. Let the world see God in the actions of His peoole. Not until we do can we hape to be taken seriously. God gave His Spirit to be the foun- tain of life. “Ye are the light of the there appeared unrest, a certain fear and dread of war. a craving for God and for peace. Yet unrest, unrest.

Racing associations retained from the pari-mutuel pools a total of $2.657,- 059.25, while the total amount paid in prize money to winning horses was $1,722,095. In other words. approxim- ately 43 per cent of the total receipts from gate money in the pari-mutuel percentages was paid out by the rac- ing associations as prize money. 408.84 as compared with $1,535,467.69 in‘192_9, a decrease of 13 per cent. Statistics of race track betting in Canada for 1930 issued by the depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa show a marked decline in total amounts wag- ered at race tracks during the 332 days racing season. Decreases in figures amount to 37.573.699. or 17 per cent as compared with 1929. The decline in betting was more marked in Quebec than in other parts of Canada. For the six tracks which form the Quebec circuit this year de- creases amount to 24 per cent; for the eight tracks in the Ontario circuit the decline was only 15 per cent; the five tracks from the British Columbia cir- cuit showed" a decrease of- 17 per cent; and in the Prairie Provinces the de- cline amounted to 15 per cent. also, so it is possible that a new and better deal will be handed out all round. We could not get much worse than we received last year so there’s bound to be an improvement. If the spirit of good sportsmanship is allowed to rule all the decisions of the executive of the League a reputation will soon be established which will make for unpre- cedented success.

The other elect- ed officers appear to be of good calibre last year Durham would have been able to tell a diflerent story about the result of the group play-off with Walk- erton. This is another year, though, and another story will be told when the season is over. Durham Intermediate 0. H. A. Team is grouped this year with Owen Sound. Markdale and Walkerton, and Camp- bell Grant, the oonvener of the group, has called a meeting for Friday of this week to draw up the schedule. With a four team group a single schedule will be about all that can be managed, but this, with the Northern League games, will give us plenty of hockey. Team standings will be determined this year by the point system of scor- ingâ€"two points for a 'win and one for a tie. Had this system been eflective “It’s an ill wind thtt blows nobody gent who has the responsibility of mak- ing hockey teams finish out their sche- dules is grinning happily at the pros- pect of getting some games pinyed of! in December.
