New Telephone Directory The Bell Telephone Com- pany of Canada is about to publish a new issue of the OFFICIAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY for the district of _ Western Ontario including the TOWN OF WINOHAM. irk Changes of firiri names, changes of street addresses, or orders for duplicate entries should be handed in at once to L. P. BINKLEY Loopl Manager, Grow Ontario Wheat. Ask our millers about the outlook for Ontario wheat, and they say that the future premises a steadily increasing market and higher. Ask our farmers, and some of them put on a long face and say there is no money in Ontario wheat. These men are about fifty years be- hind the times. They have never heard about such "new fangled things" as blended flours, They use "Western hard patent flour." The scientific far- mer knows all about Western flour, He know, to his sorrow, that it wasthe coming of Manitoba wheat that sent down the price of Ontario wheat. Ile knows, too, that it is because the aver- age farmer uses Western wheat flour that the price of Ontario wheat has been kept so low. This modern farmer gro z s Ontario wheat, for whish he receives a fair price. With this money he buys blended flour, which contains Ontario wheat, and a little Manitoba wheat to add strength. Thus he spends his money for the products of bis own farm. He makes a profit on his wheat, and keep, his money here at home. The farmer, who uses "Western patent flour," is making rich the wheat growers of Manitoba and Alberta. All this aside, however, there is a healthy demand for Ontario wheat. The blended flours are meeting with the moat gratifying eueeess. The sales for each month, as reported by the leading mills, show a big increase over the cor- responding month of the previous year. This inoreased demand for blended flours means an increased demand for Ontario wheat. Farmers who keep abreast of the times know about these blended flours, are using them, and are plant- ing Ontario wheat for the advancing market. It is a great pity that every farmer in our province does not realize the importance of making these blended flours a success. And every farmer can help in this great work simply by bay Ing blended flours whenever the ''flour barrel is empty," The farmers them- seles will benefit by getting mare money for their wheat. Stockmen and dairy- men will share in the profits by paying less for bran and shorts. As is web known, the reason these feedstuff. cost so muoh now is because our local mills do not grind as much grain as they should, sed consequently have not the bran, eto., to tell, And finally, the whole ptovinoe will benefit, because higher price. for wheat means more money forr everybody.

Spirit of Good Comradeship Preva .-Townspeople Gather In the Ma Thoroughfare to Discuss Civic P bieme --. Women Compare Bab and Bonnets -Evenings Devoted Innocent Recreations. As odd a thing as one can see in t vest fa the inairr street of a prai t,,wn, or rather village, on a summ evening, and it is indeed a uniq sight. The street is invariably very wid space not being of as much consider tion as in the more crowded parts the Dominion, It is fortunate th such is the case, for the main etre in summer, in addition to its mo ordinary functions, is used as a so of drawing -room, or perhaps pia room, where the townspeople, Pike o big family, amuse themselves. The work and stress and heat the day are over, and the evening long as well as lovely. The tension buying and selling, plowing and ha rowing, churning and washing, is su pended, and the workers are relaxe A spirit of good comradeship prevai in the west, and it is collectively r ther than individually that the pe ple like to take their relaxation. Bence the saddler drops in to to over the stirring events of the da with the postmaster, until perhaps barefooted urchin pokes his head i the door and proclaims that "there a cove in the saddler -shop," wher upon the vendor in leather compo wily strolls over to wait upon h customer. The postmaster, thus le to himself, reads the postcards of th community at his leisure, and distr butes them, together with the new gleaned therefrom, to the owners, o to others, as the ease may be.• The bank clerk, the teacher an others play a spirited game of bas ball, together with the butcher's a sistant (who is probably a college stu dent), right in the middle of the stree until such time as the "preacher Wants a pound and a half of chop when the game is suspended whit the appetite of the minister's famil is furnished with an antidote. A row of men in their shirt -sleeves seated upon the edge of the plan sidewalk, discuss the political situa tion, Other rnen on their doorstep .read the Winnipeg dailies, and shou out to the neighbors comments -us ually very spicy and pointed-upo the editorials, etc. The new "bread -mixer," the lates patented washing machine, and th merits of "cannipg" aver and abov the old method of "preserving" "dow east" all receive their share of dis cussion, and sociability reigns. An should there be a lady so'unfortunat as to be belated with her ironing sh refuses to be done out of her socia evening by stress of circumstances but brings out her ironing board t the side door, places it across th backs of two kitchen chairs or on th top of the rain barrel Children bicycle up and down a will, and very the proceedings with "prisoners' base" until they are ho and tired, when they repair to the "ice cream parlor," purchase five cent ices and bring them out to en joy Ahem more fully on the doorsteps while up and down the boardwalk stroll the young people -"children o a larger growth" -brandishing their racquets and awaiting their "turn" of the club tennis ground. Chinamen issue forth from the res- taurant, and with the greatest com- placency empty their dishwater on a vacant lot nearby, while at the same time ,they exchange Oriental signals with the laundryman, Tong Yeck, across the way. In from a twenty -mile drive, cov- ered with dust and glory, comes the doctor, deposits his horse at the 'liv- ery and vanishes into his drug store. He is the only secretive member of western society, and that only for conscience sake. Endowed with true western loquacity, he is dying to give the leading symptoms of his latest country case, if only professional eti- quette did not forbid! However, he mentions casually to his clerk that "Mrs. Tom Gorham of Grove Farm will pull through alright this time!" whereupon the clerk slips out for a minute, and in no time the good news spreads far and wide, Presently down the street comes the telegraph operator, flapping an ominous looking yellow envelope, and inquiring in Ioud; cheery tones if there is anybody "in" from the "east trail." A score of voices answer, "Yes ! Bill Anstruther, the young Englishman who is hired with Jack Sinclair, is in town somewhere," A single shrill voice announces that "he is in the barber's shop," whereupon the said "Bill," hearing his name bandied about from mouth to mouth, appears, towelled and lathered, at the door of the barber's shop (attended, razor in hand, by the no less inter- ested tonsorial artist) and demands to know "What's the row?" The tele- graph message is forthwith confided to his care; to be delivered to a neigh- bor two miles or so south of him on the "Smith trail," and sifter the tele' graph operator assures the nubile that the message contains "no bad news of Smith's boy at the Klondike," but is only "a matter of wheat," society subsides to its former happy state, and Bill's shaving proceeds. Thus, with various innocent inter - eats And recreations the evening speeds away. Perfect unanimity pre - valla --all know each other's business, pleasures, losses, gains, happiness and ggrrief.

[F, W. Foley in New York Times ) I know a lass who is sweet and fair, With ripe red lips and wavy hair, And the seasons come and the seasons go Bat ahe'a always fair and her gown just so; She's an ideal tutee, with a witching - grace, With a figure trim and a winsome face And you'll find ber now if you look, I Ween, On the cover page of a magazine. In the spring she's dressed in a bud- ding way, With a hunch of flowers and a sprig and apray Of a blossomed bush, and her hair en- twined With a sprig of buds of another kind, In the summer time when the roses bloom, She's a picture hat with a long white plume, Or she's set with "props" from a boat- ing scene - The cover girl of a magazine. She's an auto girl or a golfing lass, Or a seaside belle, as the seasons pass, And I know when the autumn days are decked With leaves, abe'll pose with a leaf effect When snows are deep and days grow rough, She'll come to me with her boa and muff; They may change the season's garb and scenes, Bat not the girl on the magazine. Grows younger, she, I'm sure, with age, The winsome lass on the cover page, I shall see her when the month is gone With the seine old smile, but a new gown on; Green, that's for lea'ves, and white for snow, And brown for tan -so the sesame go; Bat her smile is sweet and her yoara are teens - I should miss the girl on the magazines.
