During the seve months, April 1 to November 1, of th current fiscal year, 300,841 immigrant arrived in Canada. Of this number 20 ,701 arrived at ocean ports, and 100,1 0 from the United States. These fig res show an increase of 13 per cent. as ompared with the number of arrival • for the correspond- ing months of las fiscal Year, which were 172,260 at ocan ports, and 93,- 573 from the Unit d States, making a total for the sev months, April 1 1911, of 265,833 persons. During the month of October, hisyear, therewere 27,182 arrivals, 16,7 1 of them having been at ocean ports and 10,481 from the United States, : - against 23,902 for October last year, 1:,646 of whom were at ocean ports and 10,256 from the United States. T e immigration to Canada for the last seven months is three times as large s the population of the Province of rince Edward Is- land, or 35 times'tht of the Yukon.

This would yield him better than one hundred and thi dollars. He says that cows pay hi better than anything else, especial! in the winter, as the price is the its highest. If this can be done one district why not in every one? It can, if the farmer is encouraged to keep first-class cows. Up to the present the farmers of this district have had no encouragement, but that is a thing of the past. The Wingham Creamery will be run- ning all winter. Get cows that will be milking all winter when you have plen- ty of time to care for them properly. Keep your test above twenty-five and patronize The Wingham Creamery, the one that encourages the farmer, We are now paying 31 cts. per pound for butter fat. If our waggon is not in your district write us and we will make arrangements to collect your cream. HOUSE FOR SALE—House and lot on John street for sale on easy terms.

I read some sun bine stories advis- ing mo to smile, f 'smiles have charms and glories that m Ice well worth while. I held a job of cler -ing at Wax & Bul- ger's store, and so, while I was working I smiled and smile and smiled some more. Oh, I was !ways beaming in that great mart of trade; my fangs were always glen 'ng, my gums were well displayed. Th n Wax came up and muttered (he s emed as mad as sin) : "Oh, keep you face a -shuttered! Cut out that ghastly grin! Our custo- mers are blinded by eeth from ear to ear; a home for feeb a minded tney'll think we're running ere." And so I started sineing as i and the store I sped, and Bulger Soo was flinging steel boot -jacks at my h d. "Cut out that silly bawling! Wh folks come to the store, they hear yotrcaterwauling, and go, to come no more,!" And then I tried to whistle, to show how glad I was, and Wax (who's mostly grille) just soaked me on the jaws. Those people optimistic wha write for toiling throngs, their essays eulogistic of smiles and cheery songs, they have a noble calling, and they sincerely teach,but they would find it galling to practice what they preach. ---Walt Mason.
