Geography m Miss gome of the seats SERVICE BY YOUNG PEOPLE To erradicate the Warble Fly, or Heel Fly, as it is more commonly called, completely from any district, it is essential that every stock-owner dress his cattle for a few seasons. At the same time Canadian cattlemen have proved that the use of Cooper’s Warble Fly Powder pays big dividends even if used on only one herd in the community. One farmer writes: “I consider it worth while at all times to use Warble Fly Powder whether other herds in the community are treated or not; cattle feed better, thrive better and the flow of milk larger.” Many communities are clubbing together to combat this pest. If your section has not done so as yet, why not arrange a meeting to discuss this at once? 1 pound of Cooper’s Warble Fly Powder will treat 25 cattle for the necessary treatments. First treatment should be given about 15th March. We are giving a special price to introduce the powder at 80c^b. Larger quantities for community work still cheaper?! SERIOUSLY ILL Master Bobby Parsons, seven year-old son of Mr. Roy Parsons, was taken to Victoria Hospital, Lon. don, on Monday where he under went an operation for an acute at tack of appendicitis. The many friends of the family will regret to know that the little lad’& condition is quite serious. GASOLINE STOLEN A padlolck on a gasoline pump in front of Mr. H. Bierling’s store was pried off sometime Tuesday night ■and it is estimated that around thirty-five gallons of gasoline were stolen.

Mr. Editor,— I wish to allude briefly to maudlin sentiment expressed in poem entitled “Our Town” in local paper. In my opinion “Our Tow’d” expressed themselves exactly opposite to the sentiment the poet expressed. We are not asking for charity from the government, as has been explained, only partaking in what the government is alloting to aid those who are unfortunate. I am at a loss to know who the fifty- three are who are singled out as “looting for selves the puhlle chest”. I wonder how the verses appeal to those who are in want and also the people who are trying their utmost to help them; not forgetting the ones who are struggling to make ends meet, who are obligated to contribute to- relief, thro’ tho same medium, as other’s who are better able. Ratepayer An interesting service was (con ducted in the Main Street United Church on Sunday evening last when several members of the Christian Fellowship group from Western Univerity took charge of the service Mr. Ralph Geiger in the opening ad dress outlined the student move ment. Miss Jean Vail, a student in Arts, gave a very impressive address taking for her subject “No man can serve two masters.” Mr. Harry Jen nings also gave a short and impress ive talk, taking for his text “Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us.” Mr.' Geiger presided at the piano and led the congregation in several choruses. The church was practical ly filled for tbe occasion. Two car loads of young people were present from London and two from Lucan. A forum was held by the people following the servilce.
