up-to-date plant for the manufacture

mill in town. This will prove a great
convenience to the farmers in this

St, Paul's Annual Report.
The annual reports for St. Paul's
Church were distributed last Sunday.
Considering that the congregation
was without a rector for a length of
time, the report is a favorable one,
and shows all departments of the
Church to be in a flourishing condi-
tion. The general receipts, including
envelopes,, collections. etc., totalled
$1868.74 ; the expenditure, including
salaries, light, taxes, etc., amounted
to $190220; the Mills Memorial Hall
receipts amounted to $904.59, and the
expenditure $990.74. The A. Y. P. A,
had a good year, and the receipts
amounted to $25558.89, expenditure
$231.15. The Women's Guild received
$225 88, and expended $172.73, The
Sunday School is in a prosperous con-
dition and has a, good staff of officers
and teachers ; the receipts were $226.-
77, expenditure about the same, with
a small balance on hand. The Wom-
an's Auxiliary report receipts of $34.71
and expenditure $32 51. The mem-
bers of the congregation are looking
forward to a successful year, and in
co-operation with the earnest efforts
of their rector and his wife, Rev. and
Mrs. Croly, will no doubt realize their
highest exp>sctation.

Earliest In Twenty -Five Years.
Prof. C. A. Zavitz says that in the
25 years he has spent at the Ontario
Agricultural College, be has never
witnessed a spring as early as this.
In 1902 seeding was started on the
college faxen on the 27th of March, in
1905 on the 29th, and in 1910 spring
wheat, barley and oat seeding started
on the 26th. "From experiments re-
peated in several years," says Prof.
Zavitz, "we find that the crops here
mentioned give the best results when
sown during the first week in spring
in which land can be worked to good
advantage."

For a number of years Canadians
flocked to the united States in large
numbers. But note the tide is turned,
and people are coming from Uncle
Salt's country in such large numbers
as to cause the government of that
country some alarm. The immigra-
tion to western Canada is said to
amount to flue hundred people every
day of the week. Ea.cb Week there
are approximately flee hundred cars
of settlers' effects. Settlers arriving
from the U. S. giro some weird ac-
counts ot of a

trainnhen, commercial fa1 travellers, and
merchants along the line in North

class of farmers slipping from their
grasp, to to speak, and do their best
to deter the intending settler from
moving any farther towards Canada.
But notwithstanding all the stories,
the eroFvds of estates continue to
pour into the Canadian West, and

PATRONIZE HOME' INDUSTRY.
We hear a great deal these days
about getting new industries to our
town, which would be a good thing,
but there is one way you can help the
town and help yourself at the saute
time, that is by patronizing your own
town tailor instead of sending out of
town and often paying more for your
clothes than you would have to at
home, We employ a number of bands
and do not ask a bonus either, and the
more patronage we receive the more
hands we will employ, who spend
their money in the town and help to
keen things going. We will guaran-
tee to give you satisfaction in every
particular, in style, fit, workmanship
and material. We can make your
clothes any style you wish, with all
the frills, buttons. fronts of coats
down to your knees and backs up your
back, or nice, neat, plain, stylish gar-
ments, designed for the elite of New
York and Paris. We are not here ex-
pecting to make a fortune but an hon-
est living, and to help)up build the
town, HeIp ns and yourself by your
Patronage. Yours very truly,
