If you suffer from constipation to the point that you feel weary, depressed and worn out — it is time to question yourself! What have you eaten lately? Meat, bread, eggs, potatoes?

Time and timeliness are the essence of success “in most farming operations. Great loss may be sustained by the farmer, during seeding and harvesting, through machine breakdowns caused by wear and accidents, if parts are not readily available. It is then/ that promptness in securing parts has a definite money value. r Massey-Harris has always taken a pride in k the manner in which it has rendered Parts service. Fit and quality may be taken for granted, for replacement parts are identical with the originals. Its extensive selling organization, with local dealers in practically every town across Canada, brings this service-within easy reach of every farmer. No matter, too, how old the machine bearing the name '*Massey-Harris” may be, spare parts can always be obtained for if.

Some Corrections Your correspondent was very kind in extending congratulations to me and pupils in the account of the Mus­ ical Festival at Walkerton, as in the Gorrie-Wroxeter News of the last edi­ tion, I am sorry to state the report was not entirely correct. Margaret Moffat of Wroxeter, won first prize for Sr. Piano Solo instead of Jean Heibein of Gorrie who won third prize. S. S. No. 4 Howick did not en­ ter the Sr. Chorus (open) but won on­ ly the first place in the Jr. Chorus, while Wroxeter Public School won first prize in the Sr. Chorus,.' Anyone reading this report might conclude that I taught music in the Gorrie Pub­ lic School which is not the case, and I am not entitled to share in any of the. success attributed to the above mentioned school. I trust that these corrections may do justice to these pupils taking part in the Musical-Fes­ tival. Yours sincerely, Evelyn M.

The rector, Rev. Ball, spokcT on “The King.” In his remarks he stated, The Ideal Gov­ ernment to strive for is a theocracy as conceived by Moses. All other forms of government have the weak­ ness that they put their faith and trust in an individual or in the case of de­ mocracy, the 'people. The British King is an ideal ruler and represents to the Empire nearest to a theocracy than any other nation. By virtue of the ideals of the Empire and the King’s keen acknowledged dependan­ ce on God. We can therefore say that not as royalists nor. as patriots but as believers in the ultimate aspiration of Tor-1 a theocracy “God Save the King.” vaca-i Next Sunday Rogation service will be I II "Tl»« pvriH lorM In whlck 'tabvete e»n irnnksd** WROXETER Mr. and Mrs. A.
