It Would Not Pay -Take the small number of prints that are required for the t'snadts:t end of the business The Kleine Edison people. for example. .have If distributing offices in the reeled States.

Mr Powell is the a14e and eloquent pastor of St. Barna/rut Episcopal Church, and glowingly referred to the part that Canada sows taking in the great Empire struggle. As a native of 1'urnlerr•y, he naturally became reminiscent, and his parents being a part of the pioneer Powell colony established iia that township, his personal references and experience* were both amusing and interesting.
