BADER'S %K-Ak -d7,4K--ez* of Cuirass, township on Monday with a majority of 82 over the former reeve, Jos. McInnes of Teeswater. The Farm Forum met at Tom Nickel's on Monday evening with an attendance of 24, The discussion dealt with the Veterans' Land Act. It was generally decided that a veteran should be a success on a farm if it and the buildings were reasonably good, and if he we're somewhat of a business man to 'begin with. The people of the community could loan implements to a veteran starting up on a farm and make him feel welcome in the com- munity. To make it easier for a young man (not a veteran) starting up on a farm conditions could be im- proved we think, if we all support the Federation of Agriculture and make membership compulsory. Long term loans at a low rate of interest would encourage young men to take up farming on their own.
