His sister Eliza accompanied him To the Electors of South East Grey ; I take this opportunity of expressing to the host of good friends througout the Riding, my appreciation and my sincere thanks for their assistance in making the campaign in South East Grey a real contest. _ We lost out locally but the fact that our opponents have succeeded in electing only a total of two representatives in the five Provinces east of Manitoba boundâ€" ary, shows that we were fighting in a cause which has been amply justified. The class conâ€" sciousness propagandists and the free trade theorists have been discredited throughout the Dominion. We may have been just a trifle slow to realize this in Southâ€"East Grey. _ All signs point to a short life for the new parliament. Gird yourselves for a new election. _ When it comes South East Grey will awaken, and the sound, sane national policy of Canada for Canâ€" adians will prevail. M arkdale, Nov. 2nd, 1925 Cut to a minimum your rich, highly stimulating foods that overâ€"tax and under nourish. And in proporâ€" tion as you cut down @n these, eat more of your best food â€"BREAD.

A gloom of sadness was spread over the neighborhood by the sudden death of Mrs Jacob Smith early â€" Sunday morning. We extend our sympathy to Mr Smith and family in their be reavement. Y ours truly, ; It takes only about half as many _ people to raise food for a given popâ€" ulation as it took half a century ago. Farm machinery and better farming methods have made the change. 2. These must own at least ten ewes each and have never used a pure bred ram. E 3. They must purchase rams of the same breed. 4. All male lambs must be castrat ed and all lambs docked. 5. Applications must be received not later than Dec. 31st of the year in which the ram was purchased. Quite a large number of farmers have requested these premiums this year but they are too late unless they have nine other farmers to form a club. All those securing first premiums last year must sign the forms for their second premium and return not later than Dec. 3ist this year. . G.

She gave a vivid description of the peoâ€" _ple in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. The Community Circle met in the United Church _ Tuesday evening, with about 20 in attendance. One of the subjects chosen was that of ‘kindâ€" ness‘ and many concrete facts were presented by Messrs. R.

Be ours to hold the torch of liberty high, and by our influence and example tell the story On Friday evening, Oct. 30th, the , Organized Class, known as the ‘Stars‘ in the Un&ted Church, held a masâ€" querade social, to commemorate the retnrn of the Halloween season. Each member of the class was given the privilege of inviting a friend, and while there was not a full representâ€" ation of the class, about 30 gathered to share together what proved to be a very interesting, amusing and enâ€" couraging time. Mr. Robt. Sim, class teacher, also Rev. L E. West, were present. One or two of the gentleâ€" men appeared as ladies, with all the necessary adornments. One young }.lady represented the gipsy garb, with istyle superb, and fashion elite. Anâ€" other was dressed as a Hawaiian girl the furnishings being very suggestive | and becoming. One individual provâ€" g»d to be from appearance, very twoâ€" .‘faced. while others had clownish exâ€" | pressions, and a corollary of color | and style. However the paradoxical i coverings proved a means of surprise | when the unmaskings took place laâ€" to o\»x;'t:'hlrl‘dren's children. Let Monâ€" day, Nov. 9th, be a day to be long remembered. ter in the evening. Several games were indulged in, the stunts included being both clever and appreciative. The final phases of the evening inâ€" cluded a short program, with music, readings, and also a brief address by Rev. L. E. West. He spoke on the origin of Halloween, showing the reâ€" cognition given to it by the church: in past centuries, and making touchâ€" ing references to the martyrs whose memory has been honored with a worâ€" thy place in the calendar of time, and whose courage and fortitude knew no camouflage, and who stood unmasked before a persecuting foe. This talk was appreciated by those present, and an evening to be long remembered was brought to a close with the serving of refreshments and lrenderlng of the National Anthem.
