How have you wintered? * »i< * Farmers interested in the wheat pool will do well to suspend judgment on its value till the end of the five year period. Pools, like some other good things, often serve their -members by the evils they obviate. The indirect results therefrom often are quite as great as the direct benefits they confer. • ««**«** No Friend Like An Old s millions have On Friday evening last, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden was the scene of a very pleasant surprise party.

Distinctive Musical Artists *at Canadian Festival THE CUTLER-AUSTIN ARTISTS The Cutler-Austin Artists, who will appeal here at the Canadian ; ’■■Chautauqua Festival, are exceedingly popular with audiences In. general, and a joy to the genuine mtisic lover. ‘ , The personnel of the company is remarkably fine. Marguerite ; Austin, premier violinist, has been acclaimed by ithfe music critics of ' Europe, Africa and the United States- BOrn in England, she is a 1 licentiate of the Royal Academy of Mtislc, London, and a graduate of the Brussels Conservatory.

' Presenting the music of the great masters, interspersed with | lighter selections and costumed musical sketches, this notable com- l pany never falls to score‘an outstanding triumph and is sure to■ ' prove one of the most enjoyable features of the entire Festival. OPERA HOUSE, EXETER, MARCH 14, 15, 17 arid 18 Word comes to us from far-off Essex, England, of a medical practitioner who uses a horse instead of a car for making his calls upon his -sick folk. The wideawake M. D. declares that while al most anybody can drive a car horseback riding is a real accomplish ment. He avers that there is nothing inspiring to a patient in ap proaching his home in a smelly (car while it makes the blood dance to be visited by a practitioner astride a prancing steed. Besides, he argues, there is ‘something distinctive about the use of a horse, while the use of a car marks one as belonging to the commonality. There is a fly in the pudding, however. As this doctor is un usually virile in appearance there is little doubt but that some society or other will be interfering with his equestarian practice as indirect advertising, for will not the doctor steadily inculcate the maxim, "There’s nothing as good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse.” Besides, it is averred; that the car provides a great deal of work for the doctors. Why then, should the doctors abandon one of the greatest sources of their income? • ** •*«** WONDERFUL Word comes of a, strange and wonderful invention, this time from far Budapest. It seems that a bootmaker in that fine city has invented a device that may be built into the sole of a shoe. To this device may be attended an electric wire. This wire may be at tached to the lamp plug with the result that a genial, warming flow of electricity will be conveyed to the feet of the wearer. Already farmers are ordering supplies of these contraptions for the benefit of the hired man who has a way of snoozing too long after his noon meal. It is believed that a little extra current, will be far more stimulating than oceans of words. Electors are secur ing supplies for the benefit of their legislators who suffer from "cold feet” when necssary 'but unpopular legislation is required. ♦ tt * * >li * * iK AN OPPORTUNITY WASTED Regret, keen heartbreaking, is experienced on account of the meagre results issuing from the London Naval Conference. Of. course the meeting is not yet over and better things may develop therefrom than at present appear on the horizon. The only per sons who are glad that the gathering has met with so large a mea sure of failure ar'e the munition manufacturers. This gentry and their brothers, the war profiteers,, are delighted to think that war still is a possibility. Already they, are enlarging their coffers in the expectations of huge gains made at the cost of fraternal blood. From this moment onward, they will do all that human ingenuity can accomplish to stir up blind ambition and the insane lust of conquest. But individuals and nations who live by the sword may also perish by the sword. Justice is the very nature of things, and the .fermenters of war .are no friends of justice. Throughout the whole conference the attitude of Great Britain has been dignified and worthy in every way. As the Prime Minister said in words that will bpcome historic. "Britain has gone as far as she can alone.” If offences must come the woe will,not'be upon the head of Britain. Zurich Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Klopp are spending a few days in Elmira.
