They are known as the Ross rifle and replaces those that have been inuse, the Lee- Enfield. We hope no war will ever Call the new rifles or those who use them into actual conflict. All the damage done to the Ex- change Hotel has been fully repaired, and Mr. Lepard wishes to announce that the hotel has been re-opened on the authority of the License Inspec- tor. The table will be well furnished as before, and farmers Will find cap- acious stables and attentive services. After a protracted illness, attended by very severe sufferings, Mr, Wm. Watters, editor of the Fordwich Re- cord, passed away on Monday last, Mr. Watters was born in Howick Township, and after teaching school for some time, purchased the Ford- !deli Record. On Thursday last, A. L. Posliff received his certificate showing the rank of Cadet Inspector, having re- °clip qualified at London Military School. This is a valuable asset, as military training is becoming promin- ent in Canadian schools. Dr, Sperling of Battleford, Sask., is the guest of Mr. F. 0, Snarling. The editor of The Advance and family much enjoyed a fine plate of delicious venison steak, part of the fine deer received by Mrs. Helps of Shuter Street, from her brother-in- law, Mr. Gleason. It was certainly good and Mrs, Helps' kindness was appreciated. We are now into the month of De- cember.

Nelson, on be- half of the United Farmers' Co-Op- erative Co, bought W. T. Coombes' creamery interests. Since the disas- trous fire which cleaned out the Bluevale Creamery, Mr. Coombes future intentions have been somewhat uncertain and at last decided to transfer all his remaining interests to the United Farmers. Co-Operative Company, who will look after the pat- rons of Bluevale Creamery and oth- ers. His Worship, Mayor Fells, has tossed his hat into the Municipal ring, and will again be a candidate for the town's chief office for 1928. This is the third year Mayor Fells Is an aspirant for. the position, and In doing so, says he cannot refuse the many requests of his friends to alloy/ his name to stand. A slight opposition to the Arena by-law proposing a loan of $6,000 for a period of ten years without Interest, because of doubts of the Company to finance the affair, seems to be gradually dwindling away. The local proposition is honest and clean-cut, The Arena Company needs the money to carry on, and as security to the town, offers a second mortgage on the property together with the per- sonal bond of the directors, providing for any possible loss to the town through the failure of the Arena Limited. Wingham Lions Club, which has been dormant for a few months, re- ceived a new impetus the last few days, partly from the realization of some of the members of lost oppor- tunities for service, and partly be- cause of the unexpected visit of Lion Hill, of Chicago, travelling represen- tative of International Lions Club. Efforts being made to have the band organized and meeting with very fair success, on hopeful sign being the eagerness and desire of a lot of young chaps to join up, This lends a strong hope for the success of the project, which however must have the practical support and bene- fit of more experienced players, 0 - 0 - 0 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Among those who attended the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto from here were: Mr. and Mrs. Reg DuVal, Mr. and Mrs. R, S. Hetherington, W, R. Cruickshank, Thomas Henderson, Jim Gurney and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Godkin. A most pleasant evening was spent in Memorial Hall, Blyth, on Friday, when neighbours and friends to the number of 250 tendered a reception to Mr, and Mrs. Archie Scott, concession 8, Morris, who were recently married, Mrs. Scott before her marriage was Miss Alexandria Margaret Hamilton, only daughter of Mrs. Hamilton, of Gerrie, During the evening an address was read by James Laidlave Jr., and the presentation of a purse of money was made to the newlyweds by Miller Richmond. Three orchestras, Watts, Jackson's, and Kellys provided music for dancing. A delightful lunch was Served by the ladies of the gathering. A rink of local curlers, A. Wilson, D. Fortune, J. Carr and A, M. Craw- ford, skip, took part in the Centennial Bonspiel at Galt on Thursday. They 'won one game and lost two, John Campbell, son of J. W. Camp- bell, of Turnherry, and Chester Stew- art, of town, left last week for Chic- ago to complete their courses in re- frigeration and air-conditioning. Bill Zombro, a bay gelding, owned by Clayton Fryfogle, won first prize in the single harness roadster pace and action class at the Royal Winter Fair, Many highly regarded horses from the United States were entered in this class. Last year our winter started in later than this year. This year, Wed- nesday last week, snow fell, and so far has remained with some snow falling each day until Sunday we had quite a fall of snow. Well, the biggest news on the farm paper headlines these days, of course, is the announcement from the United States Department of Agriculture, that the livestock embargo on Canad- ian stock will be lifted as of the 1st. day of March (Animal) health and weather permitting. This embargo, which has cost Canadian farmers, countless millions of dollars, on both the export and domestic markets, will be lifted on that date, providing our livestock herds, do not have •another attack of communicable diseese be- tween now and the first of March, At first thought, farmers every- where will be looking for higher pric- es for their farm produce, and a firm • ing of the livestock markets here in Canada. That may be the effect for awhile, or on a limited scale, but the fact remains, that prices of livestock in the States, and this goes for cattle and hogs both, are about on a par with ours, or perhaps slightly higher. They too have had a period of high produc- tion, in the face of guaranteed farm prices. Furthermore, we now have to compete with the Mexican cattle mar- ket, small though it may be, as their embargo was likewise lifted earlier this year. There would remain then, a couple of observations that one might make, The first is that the greatest value of the American market is that it will absorb the small surplus of cattle and hogs, pork and beef, that all too often has dictated the price here in Canada. Even if this sells at the same price as the farm products here, it is still being disposed of, and will not he weighing over the farmer's head, like the loose plaster on the kitchen ceil- ing, a constant menace to all who pass been primarily an exporting market, today, we are in the throes of a chang- ing policy, Our population is increas- ing by leaps and hounds, though nat- ural increase, improved medical care, and immigration. We have many hun- dreds of mouths to feed, and we have rapidly moved out of the field of lead- ing exporters, into the province of self support. This lifting of the em- bargo, will certainly act as a stablizer for agrieutural products, but from where I sit, I can't see any great price advancements. The second observation I would make has to do with hogs. Farmers can get in and out of the hog business in a much shorter period of time than the cattle business. At the present time, survey figures would indicate that many farmers are either cutting clown or going out of hogs altogether. Breeding herds are down by 25 to 40%. Marketings are dropping slightly, far- mers are planning smaller herds for 1953, and the prices of little pigs on community and farm sales blocks are going up sharply. I wonder, will this announcement result in more of the inners and outers, rushing out, to buy some good young gilts, in order to get back into the business? There are two great problems that we have to contend wih in the farm price field. One is the law of supply and demand, while the other is not so much the speculator in farm products, as the speculator in breeding flocks) who rushes in and out, depending upon the price. I think he is a greater men- ace to farm prices and produce mar- kets than the so-called city speculator, who buys and sells farmers' produce. CORRECT io SERVE ON ANY.
