AN ECHO FROM Tlie “Haggis” .Supper in Main St. "United Church on the evening of the Anniversary of Burns’ Birthday, January 25, 1934. Auld Scotia is1 a bonnie land, To ilka Scotsman true; And hoo they loe to see again, Auld custom that they knew. And the auld custom they they kent O’ bringin’ haggis in; Wi’ pomp and pipes, appealed to them, Wi’ a’ its merry din. Wi’ braw iScotch cap upon his held, And fiddle on his airm; Brave Georgie Grant cam marchin’ in, Wi’ haggis frae the fraim. Wi’ skirl o’ pipes' he led the train, Wi’ Walker close behind; The haggis bore aboon his eeid, Wi’ pride and canny mind. The skirl o’ pipes, the marchin’ in, Appealed to ilka ane; They stand erect, they laud applaud As sturdy Scotsmen can. Then oor Tam Pryde, of whom we’re proud, Addressed the haggis, fair; Telit a’ its. virtues bonnily, In wurrds sae graund and rare. Wi’ Burns’s grace the feast began, And ample jootice done; To the rich haggis on their plates1, By each and ilka ane. The supper over we climbed the stair And in the church aboon; We heard o' Burns, the bard of loe, O’ Afton Sweet and Boonie Doon. Then.

She Was a Nervous Wreck Had Bad Dizzy Spells Mrs. Adelard Brabant, Blizzard Valley, Ont., writes;—“I was a nervous wreck, also had dizzy spells and shortness of breath. I was so nervous I could not stay alone, and would lie awake most of the night. I was not a bit better after consulting a doctor and taking his medicine. Ono day a friend told me to use Milburn’s H. <fc N. Pills which I did, and in a very short time they made a great difference in my health. I cannot speak too highly of them.” Tot sale at till drug and general stores; put up only by Thr- T. Milburn Co., Litnitcd.

So far February has done very well in the sunshine line. ******** And now wise men tell us that there are 170 billion stars in the Milky Way!

He saw his shadow, though the severe winter weather had made him so thin that he had to stand twice before his shadow became deep enough to be seen with the unaided eye. Before returning to his quarters he made arrangements with our local marchants to supply him from time to time with dainty greens for his special diet. After an earn­ est discussion with the bear rampant the emblem of the B.H.M.P.- IA., the two worthies issued the following bulletin “Perhaps an early spring and perhaps not.” ******** WAR RUMORS It seems that the air is filling up with war rumors. Two oi three men in prominent places in Europe realize that they can main­ tain their hold on the people they assume to govern only by keep­ ing their subjects excited. Well do they know that the thought ot national aggrandizement is about the most exciting slogan in the old world and this thought these disturbers keep before their people day and night. All this sort of thing is bad and only bad. Twenty years ago it was customary to lay the blame for this unhappy condition upon hereditary monarchs. It was alleged that if the rulers were elected from time to time that there would be less talk of war and less actual -strife. All this seems to- have been a mistaken idea, as the most troublesome leaders in Europe this hour are the men whom the people have elected for rulers. It is an instance -of democracy run to seed. It seems as if experience teaches some people very little, as the very European nation that complained most loudly of the consequences of the World War they, brought on themselves is the nation that is making more trouble in Europe than all the other nations put together. * * * * * * * * THINK Tins THOUGHT The United States evidently realizes that in the event of war that the last bullet to. be fired will be sent on its deadly mission from a goldep source. It looks as if the great republic were getting ready for another w-orld war and as if she were filling her vaults with gold against that day. Well does tlie republic know that gola is the .standard of commerical values, the world over. She seems to be going on the assumption that the nation with the most gold has the pre-eminence in business. .How far her theory is a sound theory no one knows, but as things now -are she seems to be right. Assuming that her theory is reasonable, are the other nations -of the world following a sane policy in -selling their gold at any price when they dehorn themselves by so doing? Further, will the buying up of gold by the government of the United States invite a revolution in that republic? Will the knowledge that the gold is in the vaults of the government excite the cupidity of the mercenary potential revolutionist? In plain words, is the United States head­ ing for a despotism? She seems to be building the superstructure of her national existence upon the apex of the pyramid rather than upon its base. ******** AN EXPLANATION During the acute .stages of the depression, now said to be pass­ ing, The Time-Advocate frequently suggested that the unemployed invent their own way out of their difficulty. In thus suggesting we .were not mockers. We were but liopi-ng that history would repeat itself. Recently we have been asked to- illustrate -our moaning. Til] quite recently the farmers of Europe were compelled to import the nitrates- required for fertilizing purposes. This involved the securing of ships and laying of railroad tracks together with inaugurating all else that goes with the transportation of goods. It was' at this juncture that invention showed itself, for certain wise men discovered the moans of manufacturing those nitrates in commercial quantities and that within the boundaries of Europe. These men invented their way into moneymaking. Thon what shall be said of the telegraph, of the telephone, of the phonograph, of the radio? Then need we mention that neat cover for the milk bottle? 'Coming down a little smaller what is to be said of the neat appendage so useful attached to the cover of the milk bottle? These Inventors actually created a market. Things still to be invented? One thing is a method of coin­ bustion that will conserve heat for intended purposes. Think of What this would mean to the housewife, to the manufacturer, to the There has1 been a gratifying certainty about this winter’s weather we have been sure that it was just about to change. ******** FINE The following extract of the weekly edition of The London Times department of finance makes delightful reading: “Markets have begun the New Year with a cheerful tone. Sen­ timent has been favorably affected by the good Exchequer returns, bettei* trade indications such as increased railway traffic and cheq­ ue clearings, and by the generally higher level of profits shown by the results of the leading banks. The revenue returns have im­ parted particular strength to the gilt-edged market owing to the hopes they encourage of a lowering of income-tax in the next bud­ get. Home industrial securities have been strong and South Afri­ can goldmining shares have appreciated further. THEY HAVE SERVED There’s a class of hard workers in Ontario who have given in­ valuable service during the heartbreaking depression that is at last giving a few faint signs of passing. These folk have -contributed away out of all proportion to their income to poor relief, as we all understand that word. They have given largely, besides, privately, to helping out cases where none but they knew of the distress, in providing shoes and undies and coats and food. They have been the main givers to many a church that but for their generosity would have fallen down sadly in its finances. They have been un­ salaried but diligent callers in many a lonely home. They have do­ nated secretly but in a most timely way many a lunch to a hungry child. They have speqt liberally in the stores. In no- sense have they been hoarders. Helpers they have been and helpers they con­ tinue to be utterly forgetting the days of their own gray hairs and failing powers. This hour they are carrying on this good work with precious little praise or public commendation for their ser­ vices. We refer to the -school teachers of this good province, a class of people who in the times of peace are emulating the fine example of the nursing sisters who served in a manner beyond all praise dur­ ing the Great War. Let us not forget. VITAL STATISTICS Vital statistics for the township of Hay for 19 33 are as follows: births, 52; deaths, 20; and mar­ riages, 20.

A. team and all-round athlete, faces- a charge of assault, causing bodily harm, laid by Arnold Doak, junior hockey player, whose jaw he is al­ leged to have fractured with his fists during an altercation -which cropped up in an exhibiton practice game between intermediates and the Juniors at West street rink. Stoddart, one of the cleanest play­ ers in the sport, with a record of but one penalty last season and none whatever this present season, is said to have become provoked at the al­ leged persistent “wood chopping” of the junior player that, near the fin­ ish of the game, he lost his head and, dropping his stick, he adminis- istered a right and a left, in one- two fashion, to young Doak’s jaw. An X-ray is said to show a double fracture which necessitated wiring. The injured youth is walking about town with his head swathed in ban­ dages. Dr. W. W. Martin was the attending physician. Harold Doak, a brother of the in­ jured youth, is regular goalie of the Intermediate team. He was absent from his position Wednesday night at New Hamburg when the Sailors lost, 5 to 0, their second defeat of the season. The incident has caus­ ed genuine regret among fans, for both Stoddart and the Doa-k boys are favorites, but efforts to patch things up failed. hands, shall seek it wih his feet. .He who does one fault at first WHEN you land that big order■.. ^nd it’s sure to mean more salary they’ll be at home . « .
