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 population of Exeter alone,
is not sufficient to induce any one in-
dividual to in,est the several thou-
sands needed, to establish a modern
steam laundry. 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

INITIAL PAYMENTS ON
WHEAT AUGUST 1.
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,
