brief . v4sit to her brother, George, at"
Boisseveiin, returned to her hone on
the .4th inst. . She reports quite fav-
drably on the crops in the parts of
the country she visited.
As we think of Mr. John McDiar=
mid's retirement to the village, it re-
minds us that the old pioneers are one
by one passing away from our midst.
John is very worthy 'of the quiet life
he may live in Luoknow• We' take
this opportunity to welcome Mr. Car-

cancy left by Mr., ' MacDiarmid and

INTRODUCING THE
SCHOOLHOUSE
'The school fine se in =but` lmtiy
section was practically unknown to
the_elder_ fol s of the community till
a group 'of young' men and women
"put it on the-ntap." They did not-,
change its location, nor improve the
road leading to it. But they .did suc-
ceed in getting a number of folks to_
visit it who never before had entered
its door. - For ,a number of yearsthat
little schoolhouse has stood right
whereit 'is nowt -en an elevated knell
among, , a group of maples -a short
cinarter-mile from the main highway.'
Yet there were fathers and mothers'
in our community whose children had
begun with the primar3' class and
reached the entrance class aral still
never entered the schoolhouse. They
paid their taxes, entertained the
teacrher once or twice perhaps and
thought that was sufficient.
But, John' Grayson, Tom Mercer,

schoolhouse. So they planned and car-
ried through a "neighborhood social."
They called it that—without. any

Economy of Ford Service
1XTEAR is unavoidable even in the
best car, but , certain parts wear
out more quickly than others. There is
no need of scrapping your car because
the piston rings have seen ---their day,
because the platinum points of ,'the
, viiir''a..•tQrr,.;re.-.,worn put, r91:1414the,
rest of the car is as' good as new.
Medical men agree that the human
body is renewed, . cell by cell, every
seven years. You can do- the same
with your Ford Car'and prolong its life
at minimum cost .byreplacing worn
parts from time to time.
Ford service has been the means of doubling
-thrives of -hundreds of Foal-ta><s, and rut- _____
ting down the cost of motoring. The fact that
a Ford Touripg Car, which costs $690, Lo. b.
• Ford, vOnt,, can be purchased part by part
separately for $917 is ample proof of the
economy.of driving a Ford Car.
It will pay you to have. your car overhauled during
the winter months. 700 CanadiareDealers and over
2,000 Service Garages supply genuine Ford parts and
prompt repair service.
