We have also in Egremont a goodly number of business men and some manufacturers, who coâ€"0operatâ€" ing with the farmers, promote the welfare of each other. number of clergymen to promote our spiritual welfare. We do wish that they would visit our schools mor» frequently and teach us some theology when there is so much unrest in tie We have our Reeve, Mr. Gilbert McEachern, to attend to the welfare of our municipality, We have kr. John A. Ferguson, Egremont‘s poet, to improve our highways. We have Dr. G. M. Leeson, M.P.P., Drs. Sneath and McLellan, to care for our health, and we also have Miss Agnes Macâ€" Phail, M.P., to promote our wealth at Ottawa. There are prize babies in Egremont also and pardon me if I refer to the McGinnis twin babies in Toronto. We have some of them here too. 1 reâ€" peat, Mr. Chairman, we are a bhapp» people. Let us compare our School Fair with the great C. N. E. of Toronto and see where we are. At Toronto they have a water frontâ€"so have we, At Toronto they have electric lights â€"so have we. At Toronto visitors are exposed to the scorching sunshin= while we enjoy the shade of the big maple trees. Yes, Mr. Chairman, we have everyâ€" thing on the farm except some of the fancy goods that the T. Eaton Co. sell to the city people. The colts, calves, lambs, pigs and poultry frisk about in the open fields and enjoy the bounties of the harvest On the farm you have plenty of the best to eat at all times and good, fresh milk to drink. There the busy bees gather their sweetness from the fields for us, and the apple tree drops her mellow fruit _ The sunflowers and corn tassels bend to the breeze and the clovers bloom in all their various colors, providing abundance of fodder for our live stock. and the reaping hook and the brush burning in the little clearings in the bush. Science and art in Agriculture has made farming a pleasure to all who like it The school fair will co much to encourage the boys and gir‘ls in farming.
