SUCCESSFUL BANQUET
Hon. Duncan Marshall, of Toron
to, former minister .of Agriculture
in the Alberta government, was
guest speaker at a “Brotherhood
banquet in Janies St. church Tues
day evening. His subject was agri
cultural education, its value and
importance and no one connected
with the farm or interested in
it could listen to such an address
as that delivered by Mr. Marshall
without eeling the omportance of
this noble calling and being
thoroughly impressed with the wide
scope and possibilities there are -on
the farm and some of the compen
sations to be derived therefrom.
About one hundred men, including
a number from Thames Road and
Elimville, sat down to a bountiful
supper provided by the Women’s
Association of the church. A sing
song put the gathering in fine spirits
and a male quartette from Lambeth
delighted those present with a num
ber of contributions. They were
heartily applauded. Dr. W. E.
Weekes, president of the Brother
hood, presided and the guest speak
er was introduced by Dr. Roulston.
Mr. Marshall, who. is a native of
Bruce County, stated that he had
come to Toronto from Alberta
twelve years ago and that he was
greatly surprised at the lack of
knowledge of the business men of
the city as to the value of farm
products and its contribution to the
success of the industrial centres.
When crops are bad industry has a
bad time. When the returns from
the farm are good industry reaps
the benefit. There is a lot of advice
being given to farmers to-day, but
it is not worth much. The country
hag failed utterly in giving the
proper education about farming to
the boys and girls. We need to get
into the minds of the youth just
what there is on the farm; the
beauties of nature; the satisfaction
of research and experiments with
soil and of the production, develop
ment and improvement of farm
stock, There is no satisfaction to
a boy on the farm in milking a poor
cow, but give him one that gives the
best of results and the boy will take
a pride and delight in such an ani
mal. When a boy believes that lie
has a great and wonderful calling
he will get a lot of satisfaction out
■of it. Next week we hope to give a
more detailed account of Mr. Marsh
all’s address. At the conclusion of
his address he was greeted with a
prolonged applause. Mr. W. G.
Medd, M. L. A., expressed the
thanks of the men to the ladies.
The Lambeth Male quartette which
was heard in Exeter for the first
time comprised N. (McAlpin, F. Boy
es, J. Mair and F. Thomas with O.
Hunt as accompanist.
BROTHER DIES
Mr. Fred Bawden was called to
Toronto this week owing to the
death of his only brother Frank,
which took place Sunday following
■ an illness of about three weeks with
pleurisy. The deceased was 45
years of age. He was born in Exe
ter and spent his early life here. As
a young man he entered the drug
store of the late Dr. Lutz as a clerk
and later with Mr. W. S. Cole. For
the past 25 years he has been in
Toronto where he has been proprie-
tor of a drugstore. He is survived
by his widow and two daughters.
The funeral took place Tuesday.

ton who, was called to Whitby on
Sunday owing to the death of his
foster-mother, Mrs. Frank Jones.
Mrs. Jones passed away on Satur

in James Street United Church leav
ing shortly afterwards for Whitby.
