to remove many of the obstacles that
have come down from the past to
confront the industry,
The choice for president of the or-
ganization was Mr. Howard Fraleigh

were as follows:—Vice-Pres., Owen
Geiger, Hensall; Sec., Jas. A. Mc-

Red Cross Contribution.
Sid Ransom of Bossevain, Man. ,
formerly of this vicinity, made a very
generous contribution by way of offer-
ing a horse for sale by auction •and
presenting the proceeds to the Red
Cross Society, which amounted to
$175. A, pig was also donated by S.
A, Halls which was also sold at the
same time, realizing $7. After the
sale Ed, Brown, Sec. of the Red Cross
Society, thought it an opportune time
to further increase the subscription
list, eo he set about to make up the
even 20 h Mr. Ransom
0 to whit
further subscribed $5, This would be
a very good example for some of our
well-to-do farmers to follow.
Road Improvement.
The Council have made a much
needed improvement to the pavement
on Josephine St. by filling the holes
and covering the croas bars with
Dollarrvay, a preparation very similar
to Turves,. The work was done under
the supervision of the Patterson Mfg.
0o. of Toronto. In all liklihood this
wilt make the job permanent and
thus solve a problem_ which has caused
the Council a great deal of worry.
1 r d has fixed holes
This same Dol a w y
in pavement very satisfactorily in
Toronto and other places. The town
has half a dozen barrels of it on hand
so as to be able to fix any boles that
may come in the pavement in future.
