It is possible for one mun­ 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 ed.

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. The regular meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday night with all members present except Reeve Davidson. His Worship May­ or Hanna in the chair. The minutes of the’last meeting were read and approved.

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.

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. ASHFIELD Mr. George Lane, accompanied by his nephew, Dr. Treleaven, of Luck­ now, left on Friday for a two weeks’ hunting trip up north. Messrs. Wm. Dickson, near Port Albert, Keith Johnston and Jim Nel­ son, who motored to Larder Lake two weeks ago, returned home this week. They all enjoyed their trip.

Campbell spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs., Stanley Gallaher, of Bluevale. Miss L. Philipps of Wingham vis­ ited at the home of Mr. and Mrs., Charlie Johnstbn last week. No Country Safe Says Lapointe Justice Minister Lapointe warned that “the rulers of nations who clam­ or for more territories and more re- | sources may not ask our. permission to claim them.” Speaking at a na­ tional peace week dinner held by the League of Nations Society in Canada Mr. Lapointe declared if was said in- some quarters that Canada is in a privileged geographical situation and should remain outside all internation-' al movements. “May I remind them that other countries were only ask­ ing to be left alone.
