Mol - land of Thorndale, wibh A Doupe of Kirkton, secretary of the district, as secretary of the meeting. The treasurer's 'statement as pre- sented by Mr. Doupe showed receipts of $14 and expenditures, including a $6 deficit from last year, of $23.50, Leaving a net deficit this year of $9.50. There was some discus+ton alout the deficit and the opinion was ex- pressed that some action should be taken to get power to force the societies to affiliate with district and provincial icssociations.

'there is at present no power to farce them to join, In discussing the mtautel it was. notod that lest year pressure was ' brought to bear on tie government to increase the grants to agricultural societies by $25,009, It was report- ed' that an increase of $15,000 was promised an l had not noose through in the grants for the fairs tlile last r fall. The delegates panted a resolu- tion calling on the district director to find out about} the increase and if it is not forthcoming to bring pres• sure to bear to get it through, Oust Sawing As we have now a quantity of Custom Logs in our yards for Spring Sawing, Mayor Marshall spoke briefly„ wel- coming the delegates to the city, He .said that he had invited then last year to come back and that he was repeating the invitation, "There is no better to place to come than Sratford and we want you to feel free, to enjoy your stay in the city." A motion of thanks was tendered the mayor for his kindly welcome, moved by Mr. Brodie of Mt. Brydgee. The matter of government judges was also discussed and it was decid- ed to urge that in addition to being nominated by five responsible citi- zens that all men recommen led as judges should also bear the O.K. o° their agricultural society. E. Douglas and J. Wheaton, East Middlesex, brought up the change of sole in field crop competition. They pointed out that a farmer at one time could enter the field crop com- petition of two societies in different grains but that under a change in rules he could not longer do so. They wanted to know when the rule was changed and why. The delegates directed tl-il the question be asked. Cnetperation On!' Way George iiastner, of Stratford, ad- dressed the meeting, br'.elly stating that co-operation was the only way success could be obtained by fall fairs. He nrged that they come back to Stratford for their meeting next year and, said: "Stratford is a fine city. You will not get better service or finer treatment anywhere. It 'e 'a good 'place to cane to live when you retire." John Dunbar, of St. Marys, urged that action be taken to secure an in- crease in the grants to agri•:u'turctl societies, He thought an increase or (825,000 should be urged, 310,000 for wet weather insurance and $15,- 000 in prize money.

' When she Kaci reached the age of 7 years, her par- ents removed to a farm' near the vil- lage of Brussels, Ont., and hers she lived and grew into young woman- hood; here also, under careful train- ing of parents and teachers in the Home, the School, and the Church, were laid the foundations ,of charac- ter which marked her thru all the years. On the 8th day of February, 1868, she was joined in marriage to Joseph Welsh, a prosperous young farmer of the cominunity and the young couple began their residence upon a farm but a short distance from the home of her ehildhoed and young womanhood. To this union was born seven children, an then on December 16th, 1880, the hand of Death removed the husband and fath- er, leaving the little mother to be both :lather and mother to her help- less family of little ones, the oldest of passed her2 whom had ' u� t s 12th birthday.

Two outstanding :diameter's - ties h,t eteris- tics are temeciaily worthy of mention ill the-ununing up of her life. First, her deep and unchanging love for hitt. ghildren, to whom, ;tad Pot- whom, shr: gladly gave her all, curd tilts love reached drown to her children's cltild- reh, you, even to her elrilrlreny child - rens' children. Second, her love and loyally to her God, t•h= Ga+i upon whom she had learned to !can thru the hard years of Struggle, and whom she had never found wariiint . From early childhood ,,he had bate identi- 1ied with the church, and to he, them all her life, God ane! the Church had been vital. In 1920, she eufferad a severe. Mutes and since then has been more oi' less, an invalid, tho able to get about most of the time. Late on Thursday evening last, she was taken seriously ill and lapsed into uncoil- sciousneee at 3 o'clock Friday morn- ing. Death came at 6 o'clock E itiay evening, Jan. 21st, when she had reached the age of 78 years, 4 months and 25 days. Her body was borne to its last resting plaza by the loving hands of six of her grand sons, to whom she was 'very dear. The funeral was held in the Presby- terian church on Monday afternoon, Rev. Westphal, the pastor, having charge of the services. After the services were concluded at the, church the remains were conveyed to the Warsaw cemetery, where they were laid to rest. All of the daughters end the son were here for the funeral and all of the brothers and one sister, Mrs Arthaud being unable to leave her Western home. Of the 81 grand children, all were present at the fun- eral except one, Mrs. H. z'rle Mason, of Seattle, Washington. Moat of the great grand children were present at the funeral as well. The Phonograph wishes to join with the many friends of this most estimable lady in extend- ing condolence in this time of ber- eavement. But the ehildrer should be happy and conten` el to kno s their loved one is freed from all earthly pain and that she is now enjoying the fruits of her labors while on this earth with her Maker in Heaven. In some instances sorrow and grief fol- low death. In this instance there mould be no room for sorrow. Ra- ther let us rejoice that Mrs. Welsh lived among us for a long. time, that she performed her work so weli, that she reared such a fine family to carry on her good work and ;:hat she has gone to receive the reward she merited so well.

"It's leo had!" said Lena Dawes to ber husband. "Everything looks so Mee except the hare floors," "Won't they be just the ilt!ng for the dancing fneturc'a of otic hnuse- war;uing?" questioned Norman Inrwes, "You see, I've got a geed deal of pride," added Lena, "and I want to appear as cozy and comfy as possible, with so tunny of my old schenl chums coining," "Now, don't yen get worrying," con- solers Norman. "if any remarks are made, bty nrnth that thejust highlun0081lolffolivirng weouidneritics't permit new furniture and rugs at the same me," wellti, we two areehappy and con- tented, anyway, so what does it mat- ter if some i11 -natured critic like Mrs. Parmly inspects our belongings with n magnifying glass, and says mean things about our being threadbare and shoddy, and all that? She called me that once, Norman—but I'm not shod- dy, am I, dear?" "Yeti? Why, you're solid pure gold, my pet" cried Norman fervently, and Lena tried philosophically to subdue her vein longings. Their little new home was her idol, and she wanted to have it as perfect as possible during the coming house-warming function. Fate seemed to enforce a reminder of that coveted parlor rug. It was about noon when footsteps sounded in the hall, and there stood a thin, black- eyed man, dark-skinned and wearing a fez and a gaudy sash, He carried a thick: folded fabric over his arm, and suggested the foreigner and traveling peddler, "Omar Kluva it ia, lady," he said in melodiously appeal tog accents. "They tell you at the Persian ennsutnte that what Omar says is always true. Rugs Immaculate, lady—only the best. Perhaps high in price, but they last for generations, and for good, honest people like you, payments as you please, Your parlor? Wonderful lady, but my sample exactly fits." "No, no!" demurred Lena, lifting a detaining hand as her visitor made a movement as if to unroll and display the rug be carried, but with a deft, ma- gieianlike movement, he gave his bur- den a twirling fling, and•it settled down over the parlor floor without a wrinkle. "Oh, the beauty!" irrepressibly en- thused Lena, and her sparkling eyes rested with delight -upon the marvel of beauty. The exquisite colors, the unique pat- tern blendings, the perfect harmony of the costly rug with draperies and wall decoration seemed soddenly to trans- form the room into a kingly apartment. Omar Kluva was about to dilate upon its excellencies when, chancing to glance mit Into the garden, through the open window, he gave a vivid start and his eyes dilated, Lena suspected some play-acting, but with an earnest- ness that was positively agitated, Omar Kluva gasped out: "Lady, the Hower! The sacred son rose of Latbayl Here, so far from home, In an alien soil ! Oh, lady, can I see nearer? Cnn Ipurchase one of the blooms at any price? It Is not for myself, though I am overjoyed, but for my sick brother who, wearied and ill in an unfriendly fund, is pining for something of his native country" The gnivering finger indicated a high -flowering stalk, a rarity, indeed, which had grown from some seeds giv- en to Norman by n foreign traveling salesman, who had told him that it was an Asiatic novelty. The blossoms were large as n sunflower and, grow- ing in towerlike profusion, resembled a cluster of rich red roses. The impetuous visitor hurried from fhe room into the garden. Somewhat puzzled, Lena followed him. He reached the plant and regarded it with eyes of ecsbrsy, "Oh, lady 1" he said, tremulously folidljng one of the blooms, "It will bring home to poor Azit, and tis seeds 10111 cure his distemper." "I will get scissors, and yon shell have all the flowers you like," said free -hearted Leon. But when she re- turned, Omar Rluva and one of the blooms had vanished, Norman came home, to hear the strange story. Ole was lost in admiration of the rug. Then on n card attached to its under- side he trneed the w'nrda, "Omar Kluva and Brother, 22 River Street;" "We m,rst hunt up this strange vis^ iter of ours, Lena," the said, and after :nipper they sought the living place nl Omar !Clove.
