ELLIOTT, PrOMsnea AND Pitorti:2Oa. THURSDAY AUGUST. 29 1912. A CHEEKY APPEAL CHURCH NOTES. Rev. E. H. Croly, who has been away on a month's vacation will arrive home this week and will conduct the services in St. Paul's Church next Sunday. Communion service will be held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, September Sth. Pre- paratory service will be held on friday evening, September 6th. Rev, Dr. George H. Cornish, for forty-three years a Methodist minister in Ontario, and for twenty-six years statistician of the General Methodist Conference in Canada, died Saturday night at his residence in Toronto, in his 78th year. At a recent meeting of the Official Board of the Wesley Methodist Church, Clinton, the salary of the pastor, Rev. Jas. E. Ford, was increased to $1,100. The board also decided to extend an invitation to Rev. Dr. Rutledge, of this town, to become their pastor at the beginning of the next Conference year. At a special meeting of the Presby- tery of Huron held in Willis Church, Clinton, on Thursday two very hearty and unanimous calls were sustained, One of these was from St. Andrew's Church, Blyth, to Rev. W. D. Turner, to Norval and Union, Presbytery of Toronto. The other was from Auburn and Smith's Hill congregations to Rev. Robert McCallum, of Waldemar. (London Advertiser.) Iia opponents are assailling Sir W il- • frid Laurier because he is going West at a time when they contend he should remain in Ottawa to attend "a confer- ence on imperial naval needs," to quote our local contemorary. They pay the veteran a high com- pliment. In the first place, they dread the effect of his western tour upon the fortunes of the Government. In the second place, they confess that Mr. - Borden is in deep water, and they ap- peal to Sir Wilfrid to throw him a life - preserver. • At least Sir Wilfrid had the courage to formulate his own naval policy; he took the plunge, ready to swim or sink. He can afford to smile at the politi- cians who tried to sink him on this issue, and who are now floundering be- yond their depth, alternately crying to him for help and abusing him. It is now the duty of Mr. Borden to frame his own naval proposals, with the aid of Messrs. Monk, Nantel, and Pelletier. It is no easy task; it is con- ceivable that Mr. Borden would be grateful for Sir Wilfrid's assistance. When he might have joined with Sir Wilfrid in taking the question out of party politics he struck hand with the Quebec Nationalists, who denounced the Laurier naval act as a sacrifice to the Canadian people to the British Moloch. Mr. Borden has been caught in his own trap. EVERY LINE IS BUSY. TheWeekly Globe and Canada Farmer has evidently found the secret of perpet- ual youth. After sixty-eight years of untiring faithful services devoted to the upbuilding, and shaping the fortunes and destiny of the Dominion, itstill continues to set the pace in the field of weekly newspaperdom in Canada. It has always aimed at the highest standards, and proven itself to be a most reliable national and home newspaper. The agricultural interests and general welfare of the nation have been and are still in the broadest sense of the term its chief concern. In order to maintain this premier pos- ition and keep abreast of the phenomen- al developement and growth of Canada, The 'Weekly Globe and Canada Farmer has increased its facilities and perfect- ed its mechanical equipment_ Appar- ently pparently nothing has been left undone to make every detail from the gathering of the news, to the delivery of the pap_ er to the reader complete. TheOutlook (New York) was pleased to say in a re- centissue, that it is now one of the most complete newspaper plants on the cont inent. The staff has also been increased that the improved facilties may be fully ut- ilized. Full and accurate synopsis of the world's news written by trained men, who know how to say what is necessary in the fewest words; original and care- fully edited articles;special contributions from leading writers. Miscellaneous reading of the very highest standard are features which make it the leader =mg Canadian Metropolitan Weeklies. Every departmenntpulsates with vital- ity. The four pages of bright pictures on calendared paper is itself equal to fifty- two of the ordinary premiums given a- , way eac'i year by some papers. "Printed Wrappers on Your Butter" The pound print is the form in which most retailers like to get their butter for trade. It is a convenient package for the maker in the farm dairy to put up. It is easily handled on the market, is what the dealers wants, and it pays in the form which the market demands. Print butter always has the best ap- pearance, provided it is printed and wrapped in butter or parchment papers. It is in a good condition to be used on the table, but its attractiveness is made or marred by the kind of wrappers used. First the dairy should be named. and the name, with that of the maker, should be neatly printed on every wrap- per. Some design, appreciate to ac- company the dairy name, such as one of the best cows, or a "brand" mark adds to the attractiveness.neThere is no better way of pleasing cue- tozners than by putting up good goods in attractive parcels. It is pos- sible with butter, and never should it be neglected. Butter should be known by the dairy man, and the to way esta- blish the trade is to keep the name on the wrapper before the customers. - Farmers' Advocate. Tight Cooperage Material. That Canada is fast losing her possi- bilities as a producer of tight cooperage, is brought out by statistics compiled by the Forestry Branch of the Depart- ment of the Interior. These show that whereas 2,768,000 oak staves were cut in the Dominion in 19V., 7,293,000 were imported. In the manufacture of slack cooperage, used for the dry, rough commodities, such as lime, potatoes, apples, dry fish, flour, cereals, etc., which predominate in Canada's pro- ducts, elm is the principal wood em- ployed, forming over fifty per cent. of the total consumption. Spruce is rapidly coming into more general use as a source of stave supply, eleven mil- lion more spruce staves and nine mil- lion fewer elm staves having been used in 1911 than 1910. When elm is ex- hausted birch will probably take its place, being comparatively flexible and available in great quantities. The total value of the materials used in the slack cooperage industry in Canada for the past year was $1,465,702. In 1910 it was $1,595,119. or some $130,000 more. Imports and exports of mater- ials and finished products were, respec- tively, $329,992 and $135,463, an excess of imports over exports of $194,529. The total amount of material used, ac- cording to an estimate of the Forestry Branch, was over 62,000,000 feet board measure. Through checking, loose methods of manufacture, etc., there is also a great deal of waste not accounted for. Cheap Vacations. I have a picture of the sea; it's in a rustic frame; and it's a great relief to me when I am tired and lame. I often sit for hours and gaze upon that daub of mine, and I am where the billow plays, and I can taste the brine. I hear the cheerful mermaids chant the latest ragtime song, and see old Nep- tune gallivant the ocean depths along. I rise refreshed when I have viewed that chromo for a time, and take my axe and whack up wood with industry sublime. I have a picture of the woods, the forest robin-choired; that painting surely is the goods when I am faint and tired. I contemplate it by the hour and leave the clanging mart; I think I'm in a woodland bower, close to Dame Nature's heart. I hear the sighing of the pine, the rustling of the birch; oh, never may that daub of mine be taken from its perch! Asplendid picture of an Alp confronts my glowing eyes; that mountain rears its snowy scalp clear up against the skies! And so, with pictures and with books I jun- ket round the sphere, and visit interest- ing nooks, see wonders far and near; I see the works of ancient Greeks, and tread the streets of Rome, and climb the farthest mountain peaks, and still remain at home. -Walt Mason.

Toronto, June 20 -Union Stock Yards: Receipts 78 cars, containing 1,499 cattle 98 calves, 377 hogs, 54 sheep, 31 horses. Business was brisk this morning at the Stock Yards, and the market remained firm and steady. Cattle sold well, es- pecially the higher grades, which advanc- ed from 10c to 15c. There was a good demand for export cattle. The pros- pects are that there will be little if any cattle carried over. There was a general advance in the price of sheep and lambs. Choice lambs touched high-water mark at $7.75 It is not likely that this price will be ex- ceeded for some time. It is 15c over last week's highest. Hogs were from 10c to 15e lower. The market was a little draggy, but steady. Calves remained about the same.

P. R. pas- senger train near Komano, on the Stone- wall branch, inManitoba, was frustrat- ed by its discovery by a sectionman. Mr. Thomas McCullough of George- town, writing to The Canadian Farm in respect to the drainage of popula- tion from the rural to the urban parts, puts it pretty straight when he says: The trouble seems to be an econemlc one. 'I'qe farrn has been 'drained of its population to help build up the cities. Every etitet business has been either , bounty -fed or tariff -fed, and the con- sequence is that there are more con- i sumera than producers, and the far -1 ,mer*, like the manufactures, find it here profitable to gram fewer animal and get a higher (,rice for what they , do grow.
