The date of the sharehbl dere meeting will be announced soon and it is hoped that not only all the shareholders but all those intending to become shareholders will. be pres- ent.

The proprietor of the Exeter Creainery has given his permission for the erection of the necessary building at the end of his creamery and also.will furnish the steam from the pasteurizingg plant for a reasonable charge so that the two or three thousand dollars nec- essary for the purchase ,of the steam generating machinery can be done without, The great shortage of help tween the . single and married men the single men had the best of the game al .the way.

Grain Growers Can Collect I$ Mira Local Banks Grain -growers in Eastern Canada will ,after August 1, be able to se- cure the initial payment on their participation certificates from the Canadian Wheat Board. The initial payment will only be a partial one and will amount to 30 cents per ,bushel. Mr, Lincoln Goldie, who the °Eastern representative of the board, stated yesterday that farmers could either send their certificates direct to the board's office, 206 Roy- al i3ank, Toronto,or have the trans- actions completed thru their local bank. To secure the payments thrts the bank the certificate will have to be properly'endorsed by the party to whom they are trade paya;ble. If the corificates should have been sold the party presenting them must endorse them, in addition to the original pro- ducer. Grain -growers who come un- der the local office are those Best of Port Arthur to the Atlantic. It is roughly estimated that the initial payment of 80 cents per bushel .,-will mean about $2,500,000 lor•the East, Ceetd108tes after the first payment has been made will be returners et- Cher to the owner or the hank: thrttt Which payment' was made, so that the eau be held for he final 044 inert.
