You go to bed for a troubled night’s
sleep, during which an cnormo’us
chicken is running you down and
chases you around so much that you
are worn out the next morning,
At dinner time, the Missus relates
how the neighbours had chickens
killed last night, You look like a

great idea when I brought those
chcikens in last, night.” And you
wonder why your wife looks at you
so strangely.

must prove inadequate to properly

icipality, sometimes a comparatively
insignificant one, to establish in its
borders what .is essentially a nuisance
and a danger, not merely to itself but
to a wide area of adjoining territory,
In these circumstances some such
county law is reasonable, wholly de
sirable and necessary. The Canada
Temperance Act, applicable to coun
ties, is such a law; and until the pro
vince provides a like measure, on an
equally democratic basis, the Canada
Temperance Act should be maintain

fair and adequate substitute is simply
to become the tool of the conscience
less liquor interests which so far as
is dared would resist and overthrow
any law that restrict its juggernautic
progress.—Advt.

SOME BRIEF NOTES
ON THE CANADA
TEMPERANCE ACT
it is not of great moment tosame,
the citizens generally whether it is
under provincial or Federal jurisdic
tion. What is of paramount import
ance is that government should re
cognize that the liquor traffic is a
social evil of great magnitude and
wide ramifications; that it is deeply
entrenched and that legislation in the
interests of the well-being of our cit
izens should facilitate the reasonable
advance of the developing opinion
against such an enemy of society.
With the development of modern
transportation, municipal local option
Science has made great improve
ments in giving hens and chickens
scientific surroundings, but the chick
en is a perverse creature, who per
sists in patronizing the great out
doors. No matter how attractive you
make a chicken house, they seem to
enjoy causing no end of trouble anl
worry.
Biddy, OUr little red hen, is the
most persistent offender. Each year
she raises a brood of chickens and
for some time is faithful in her dut
ies of having them within the confin
es of the coop. Then, as the season
progresses, and it comes closer to
Fall, she begins to yearn once more
for a roost in one of the apple trees
in the orchard. I suppose at that
time she- delivers an impassioned
speech on the 'benefits of oltdoor
sleeping and one night when we go
out, it’s to find,that all are roosting
blissfully in the apple tree§.
This goes on for some time, and
little attention is paid to it. Then the
warning goes around that one of the
Lazy Meadows family has seen a
weasel or some other destrlctive an
imal with a sweet tooth for a chick
en, and the Missus declares on a par
ticularly cold and bitter Fall evening
“Phil, either you go out and gather
those chickens in off that roost, or
you’ll pay me for every one that gets
lost.”
Bitterly complaining, boots are
pulled on, a sack is found and the
lantern lighted. Then to sally forth
in search of the erring fowl. You ap
proach the orchard with gentle foot
steps and muffled bitterness as you
Trip on a piece of wire or a half-hid
den fallen limb. And there in drowsy
complacency are the chickens, com
pletely unaware of the trouble they
are starting, and seemingly enjoying
tlfe great outdoors.
The stickler is that they always
seem to be too far from the ground
to reach to with your hand. A chick
en coop is dragged Up, and so the
contortions start. You may well im
agine the results when a person trys
to balance on a coop that’s slippery
with dew, while balancing a lantern,
a sack and trying valiantly to hang
onto a small swaying limb.
Just as you have bagged tbe first
chicken the others blink ’drowsily at
you, and then come to life in a start
led way. They squawk in their loud
est style, the back of your hand com
es contact, with the hot top of the I
lantern, your foot slips on the coop
and you drop everything in a desper
ate effort xto hold your stance.
It’s one of the most harrowing ex
periences known, this gathering of
truant chickens. Just about the time
you have bagged six or seven, you
have to drop the bag and several slip
out of the bag, to squat in the grass
in a game of hide and seek. After
you have them all . . at least you’re
sure that’s all . . locked up in the
coop, the Missus appears to ask how
many you have. Sure as Fate, you
Thus the great chicken hunt is on.
By the flickering fays of the lantern
you try* and discern a form that looks
like a straying chicken, but the
search is hopeless. You cover the or
chard with a fine tooth comb, and
then at last when you almost give up
in desperation, the chicken is found
on a higher branch of the same tree
where the others were.
At last they are all safely tucked
into the coop afid securely locked up.

Kay and his successors, there are in
North Formosa seventy-five church
es, each with its native pastor and
session, the missionaries acting in an
advisory capacity. In recent years
twenty of these seventy-five church-
i es have become entirely^ self-support-
I ing.
In 1932 the Canadian Board sent
ir word that owing to financial condi-
| tions at home there must be a fifteen
i per cent cut in the yearly grant to
> the Formosan churches of twenty-
1 five thousand yen. Calling together
native pastors and elders, the mis
sionaries told them of this. It \vas
arranged to make up the amount,
thirty-five hundred yen, among the
cturches. Later, of their own accord
| they increased the sum to five thous
and yen and their ambition is to be
come fully self-supporting.
There is also a work carried on
in communication with the club and 1 among the aborigines of Formosa,
secure rates for an evening’s enter-! and this is a home mission enterprise
tainment.

i part of the company to share with its
customers the benefits of economies
effected, together with the savings
resulting from the present slight de
creases in prices of raw materials.”

weeks could scarcely move in bed. I
had treatment; but it did not ease the
pain very much. A friend said, ’Why

relief from that pain in your back.’

cases yield to Kruschen Salts? Be
cause it is a combination of several
mineral salts that are vital for your

has an action of its own. Stomach,

JOINT MEETING HELD
W.M.S. AND AUXILIARY
Rev. Mr. Wilkie, of Teeswater, Was
the Guest Speaker
A joint Thank-Offering meeting of
the W.M-.S. and the Goforth Young
Women’s Auxiliary was held in St.
Andrew’s Church on Thursday even
ing, Nov. 3rd, with Mrs. Kenneth
MacLean in the chair. The address
of the evening was given by the Rev.
Mr. Wilkie of Teeswater, a returned
missionary from Formosa.
The call to worship and opening
prayer was taken by Mrs. K. Mac-
Lean and the scripture lesson Psalms
95 and 96 were read by Mrs. H. C.
MacLean, followed by prayer by Mrs.
T, Currie. The dedicatory prayer
was taken by Miss V. McLaughlin.
A solo “My Task” by Miss Sara Mac-
Lean, was greatly appreciated. A
hearty vote of thanks was extended
to Mr. Wilkie on motion of iMrs. W.
J. Henderson and Mrs. W. W. Gur
ney.
Mr. Wilkie’s Address
It is only natural, he said, that the
people at home who are "interested in
missions should wish to know some
thing of the work which they are
helping to support, the objective to
wards which their missionaries are
working, the methods used to attain
that objective, and the problems that
must be met.
When a missionary goes to a land
where the Gospel has never before
been preached, there ...are several
courses open to him. He may jour
ney from place to place, gathering
people around him in market square,
in temple court or under a shady
tree, and giving to them his message.
He is almost always sure to have the
encouragement of a large and attent
ive audience, "for there are to be
found everywhere those who, like the
men of Athens, are eager “to tell or
to hear some new thing.” This me
thod has its drawhacks, however, as
well as its advantages. The Gospel
story is so entirely new to the heath
en mind that even after a week or
more spent in one place, a mission
ary may not have a single convert to
carry on the work which he has be
gun.
Or, a missionary may go to a com
munity, teaching and preaching to the
people there, establishing a church,
and opening schools, and so forth.
This method is not satisfactory when
there is a large field to be reached.
When Dr, George Leslie McKay
landed at Tamsul in Formosa sixty*
six years ago, Ins field was large, the
northern part of the island approxl-
Gear Binder up to $30.00.,
Plows show a reduction up to $7.00
and Grain Drills up to $8.00, accord
ing to sizes.
In his announcement, tMr. Duncan
says, "The Company is gratified to
be able to make these reductions at
this time,” ’ and states that’ from the
substantial nature of them “they will
be of material benefit to the farmer
who needs to replace his machinery.”
„ “We have'-a very real appreciation”
states- Mr. Duncan, "of the difficul
ties which confront the farmer and
are unceasing in our efforts to pro
vide him with machinery at the very
lowest possible price.

Mr. Lapointe declared if was said in-

privileged geographical situation and
should remain outside all internation-'

that other countries were only ask

would have like to remain quiet and
