A Morris Pioneer Oone.
At '7 30 o'clock Monday evening of
last week, August 21th the spirit of an
old and highly esteemed sesident was
summoned in the person of Allan
Ramsay. He was born in Umlaute,
Quebec, and after a sojourn to Glen-
garry (7onnty for a time he came to
the Province of Ontario when 25 years
of age. As a millwright and•an excel-
lentmeGbanic, he was employed in
vertic.us places, arriving in Morrie
township in 1800 when he bought the
100 acre farm upon which be lived and
died, North Lot 25, cor. 2, Morrie,
from David hart, an acre or so being
oleaved at the time, Two years later
he was married to Jane Matas, of
Wilmont township, Waterloo County;
and they lived on the farm contin-
uously until called away to the Better
Howe, By industry, economy and
thrift the fain was cleared, comfort-
able buildings replaced the ones of
pioneer days and younger hands came
to their help in sons and daughters.
The children are David, on the home-
stead; Samuel at R'iarton; Allan, of
Tara; Mrs. John Pugh, Mitchell; Mrs,
Jae. Pugh, Dolisle, Sask.; Mrs. J.
Hamer, Elgin, Man.; and Mrs. Frank
Wood, of Brandon, Man. Although
Mr. Ramsay was blind for the past 0
years he enjoyed comparative good
health the most of the time and was
able to le out of bed a few days before
his demise. Old age was the cause of
death, the end coming peacefully His
age was 84 years, 1 month and 10 days.
The subject of this notice was a Ulster
al in politics, aPresbyterian in religi n
and Lived a quiet life, declining publ'c
office. He was a great reader. Mr.
Ramsay was the last of hi" generation
and died erj ft g the respect of all
who knew him. After a life of 51
in Morris few of those who were his
neighbors and associates sr, left to
tell the story of the hardships and
toils aiid friendships and the kindness-
es of those,pioneer days, Mrs. John
Pugh and the tons were home for the
funeral, which took place Wednesday
afternoon, to Bluevale cemetery. Rev.
Mr. Tate spoke comforting words at
the bome and took the service at the
graveside.
Accident Proves Fatal.
Last Friday Morning as Contractor
13r own, Robert flc+t Item and other
were standing on a scelfold at tin
North West corner of the Melville
church ons of the supports gave way
and the two men mentioned dropped
thro,°gh, alighting on the floor 25 or 30
feet i elow. Both were injured severe.
ly but Mr. Harkness struck a joist and
was very badly crushed. Coe of his
legs was broken, several riba stove in
and worse than all his e,kull so injuted
that recovery was preluded. He was
a on conveyed to his home, Elizabeth
street on a stretcher and medical help
called but despite all that could be done
he never regained consciousness and
died Sunday night. Mr, Harkness was
in his 49th year and was born in Dute-
frieshire, Scotland,, coming to Canada
with Isla, parents when 7 or $ years of
age. For a number of yearss deceased
lived in Culross township and came to
Brussels 15 years ago. His wife was
Mies Martha Stevens, of Turnberry
township, and she, 2 sons and 2 daugh-
ters survive and therein the sympathy
of the community in their sudden ber-
eavement. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon, service being con-
ducted at 1 p.m. at the home after
which remains were conveyed to
Wingham for interment. Mr. Hark-
ness was employed steadily all season
at the new church hie work being with
the motor, The occasion of his acci-
dent was the first time be was on the
sceffulde as the brick and motor sup
plies were hoisted to where needed by
horse power. A gloom was cast over
Brussels by the sad accident. Mr
Brown's injuries consisted of a nasty
cut on the side of his face, a badly
be uised arm and leg and other bruisee..
He was confined to bed for several
days, Is was a miracle he was not
fatally injured also.
Notice To Auto Owners.
The Department of Justice at Toron
to is sending out notices to the con-
stables throughout the province that
no one nosier the age of eighteen years

omobile and only those to whom the

The Backbone
of National
Prosperity
.♦ARMING is by comon,.consent the
basis of our national wealth ' and
prosperity. The farmers of Canada
have, for the past two years,. been get-
ting top prices for what they have had
to sell and have been able to obtain
what they have had to buy at moder-
ate prices. The war means better
times for farmers.
Where the foundations of nat-
ional wealth and prosperity are
sound and assured, hopefully may
build her structure with confidence
Business in Canada can and
will be good if our business lien
will do their utmost to keep the
bottom in business. Advertising
is a good workmen for this pur-
pose.

Thick, Soft, Fluffy, and no Dand-

if your hair is losing its natural
color, coming out and splitting, or
lacks that enviable softness, gloss and
beauty, do not despair—pretty hair is
largely at -natter of care. If it is too
thin make it grow, If it is harsh and
brittle, soften it up—lubricate it. If
you have dandruff it is bceanse the
scall► is too dry and flakes off, Freshen
up the scalp with Parisian Sage—all
dandruff disappears, falling hair and
itching head cease, your hair is doubly
beautiful.
Parisian Sage, sold by J. W. McXil-

Horse Clipping Pays.
I am an advocate of horse clipping.
and am thoroughly convinced that a
machine will, in the course of one sea-
son, pay for itself, says W. G. Nolan
in Orange Judd Farmer. Eight bead
of work horses are kept on my farm,
and they are clipped every spring. 1
find that by dipping more work, with
no more exertion or feed, can be ac-
complished. Then horses that are
clipped are less apt to contract colds,
etc., if properly cared for. 'they will
also be fresh and full ,of vigor, while
the horse with a heavy coat will be
dull, out of condition and seldom or,
never dry or clean. Aside from this,
the general appearance of the horse
is greatly improved.
Parasites In Pius.
We have never yet seen a bunch of
pigs ranging inage from eight weeks
to three months that did not expel
worms wbeu treated with ei good worm
remedy, says the Iowa homestead
This being the ease, It surely is a sen
bible prevention to get rid of thes'
pests when the pigs are young. Som•
swine breeders prefer the prepares'
worm remedies; others will use tar
pentane, and still others will resort t'
the use of santonin. In any event 11'
essential and important thing Is to ;;.•
rid of the worms before the parnsltr
have had an opportunity to uudereuis
the constitution of the ptgs.
No (Lance to Elope.
Girls in New Guinea have little
chance to run away. Their parents
force them to sleep in a little house on
the topmost branch of a tall tree, then
the ladder is removed and the slumber
of the parents Is not disturbed by
fears or an elopement.

The Backbone
of National
Prosperity
.♦ARMING is by comon,.consent the
basis of our national wealth ' and
prosperity. The farmers of Canada
have, for the past two years,. been get-
ting top prices for what they have had
to sell and have been able to obtain
what they have had to buy at moder-
ate prices. The war means better
times for farmers.
Where the foundations of nat-
ional wealth and prosperity are
sound and assured, hopefully may
build her structure with confidence
Business in Canada can and
will be good if our business lien
will do their utmost to keep the
bottom in business. Advertising
is a good workmen for this pur-
pose.

Thick, Soft, Fluffy, and no Dand-
druff--Use Parisian Sage.

color, coming out and splitting, or

beauty, do not despair—pretty hair is

thin make it grow, If it is harsh and
brittle, soften it up—lubricate it. If
you have dandruff it is bceanse the
scall► is too dry and flakes off, Freshen
up the scalp with Parisian Sage—all
dandruff disappears, falling hair and
itching head cease, your hair is doubly
beautiful.
Parisian Sage, sold by J. W. McXil-
bon and at all drug eonntsra, is just
what you need ---a bottle bottle ooste

Horse Clipping Pays.
I am an advocate of horse clipping.
and am thoroughly convinced that a
machine will, in the course of one sea-
son, pay for itself, says W. G. Nolan
in Orange Judd Farmer. Eight bead
of work horses are kept on my farm,
and they are clipped every spring. 1
find that by dipping more work, with
no more exertion or feed, can be ac-
complished. Then horses that are
clipped are less apt to contract colds,
etc., if properly cared for. 'they will
also be fresh and full ,of vigor, while
the horse with a heavy coat will be
dull, out of condition and seldom or,
never dry or clean. Aside from this,
the general appearance of the horse
is greatly improved.
Parasites In Pius.
We have never yet seen a bunch of
pigs ranging inage from eight weeks
to three months that did not expel
worms wbeu treated with ei good worm
remedy, says the Iowa homestead
This being the ease, It surely is a sen
bible prevention to get rid of thes'
pests when the pigs are young. Som•
swine breeders prefer the prepares'
worm remedies; others will use tar
pentane, and still others will resort t'
the use of santonin. In any event 11'
essential and important thing Is to ;;.•
rid of the worms before the parnsltr
have had an opportunity to uudereuis
the constitution of the ptgs.

Girls in New Guinea have little
chance to run away. Their parents
force them to sleep in a little house on
the topmost branch of a tall tree, then
the ladder is removed and the slumber
of the parents Is not disturbed by
fears or an elopement.

went into a barber shop to have his
briers reaped, but no sooner -bad be
taken a seat in one of the chairs than
he dropped off into heavy slumber.

attempts be thoughtfully paused.
"Excuse me, air," said be, gently
shaking the man in the chair, "but
would you mind waking up? 1 can't

"Can't shave me while Fm asleep,'
exclaimed the victim, with a wonder-
