His father was one of the leadin4 men in the market town of Strat- ford -on -Avon, where he established a general store, in which he carried on the combined trades of glover, but- cher. and dealer in agricultural pro- ducts. William was born in 1564 and educated at the local grammar school where he remained until lm was 13. when family reverses neces- sitated the boy being taken from school to assist in his father's store.

"Time and Trade Wait for No Man" Prince of Wales Makes Strong Plea For Necessity For Trade Enter- prise --- The Prince of Wales has added his plea to the many being uttered just now on the necessity for trade enterprise, and, in view of the Royal journeyinge, the chief parts of the Prince's speech are of interest. His Royal Highness said: "With the knowledge that export aca trade is the breath of life to this th country, it becomes the duty of evha - ery manufacturer to explore to the co utmost the overseas markets for his m goods.

To let you into a part of the plot at the beginning, so that It may not be so ; groat a puzzle to your brain, It may be stated that there was a widow named Ridgeway living at Colville, a town of 2,000 inhabitants. There was living, also, at 13ene a iawyer named Hammond. Hill and Colville were forty apart, but the lawyer and the had somehow become acqualiate perhaps they would have fallen had either been able to suppo other.

Cook, who had the biggest numbe children, was the first one to over and introduce himself. Jason Turner was the next c and he went over the same ground came away feeling just as good. it was with Luke Harper, Moses S and Flatlet's Johnson. All looked the Widow Ridgeway as a prize t won, and each one determined in own mind to win her, though he d say anything to the others about it. Two weeks had passed when they all called again, and this time their talk with the widow was More free. It was at the third call that the plot developed. If the farmers could spare a little time from their own work they might plow a little and plant a little for her and thus help her along. Of course they evouid. They would be only too glad to do it. What crop did the widow think would pay her best? She promptly answered that potatoes would probably be the best selling crop. How many acres? 'Why, she had figured out that about sixty acres would be the right thing. Sixty acres of potatoes! Why, the average farmer thiuks he has a big planting if he puts in ten. The wid- owers elevated their eyebrows in some- thing like horror, but after a confer- ence lasting an hour it was agreed to omo to the widow's figures, When it me time for plosving the fiVe brought eir teams and plows and Worked ppily together.
