Paterson, of Clinton, is holding a winter course in Wingham Coen - Chamber r from January 7th --- February 8th, This course is open to all young inn and women of the district, free and text books are nut required. Classes are, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. deity, except Saturday. Programme includes lectures on live tock, field crops, soils, poultry, boolceeping, horticulture, insect peas and plant diseases, noxious weeds, farm mechanics, etc„ domes- tic science, serving, home nursing and first aid. There will also be combined lectures on arithmetic, r:ugli lit, Bacterology, Chemistry,' Home P,eautification and Literary 1 and Social problems. These courses offer an excellent opportunity for the young people to obtain a practical training in tin science of farm work, without which success in this vocation cannot be obtained. Agriculture is a highly specialized business to -day and to make it a profitably succesful ven- ture the farmer must know the base principals of soil adaptation, control of weeds, care and management of stock, etc, The same argument holds so far as home economics a concern- ed. Just so long as these intensely practical and essential problems are not sufficiently treated in the public scaools, then these short courses by the Department will be a necessity, and ought to he welcomed by the progressive younger people of the !vicinity. There is one feature not to be forgotten—the privilege is yours for the trouble of attending —it is as free of expense as is pos- sible, and the opportunities are great. Empire Meet for Hamilton, June 1930 Port Arthur, Dec. 8.—The Ama- teur Athletic Union of Canada at its meeting last night endorsed the principle of the British Empire ga- pes to be held in the city of Hamilton, in 1990, and the recom- mendation was trade that the in coming executive committee appoint a special committee to co-operate with the Hamilton civic committee in regard to the arrangements and financing of the games. The allied bodies interested will also be consulted in regard to the sports that they control. It is ex- pected that at •these gapes all the various dominions of the empire will be represented in track and field, swimming, rowing, boxing and wrestling. It is also the intention to devote one day for exclusive com- petition by women and the different dominions will be invited to send representative the same as the men. The matter was presented to the A.A.U. and C. by • M. M. Robinson of Hamilton who gave a very ex- haustive review of the events which led up to the agreement that the first British Empire games should be held in Hamilton. That city has already decided to extend the seating � ca iac]t at the 1 y newstadium by an additional 8,000 decided toerect seats and also has dee est a swimming Pool, SALT IN CANADA Common salt (sodium chloride), is obtained in two forms, in solution in a saturated brine, from which the salt is extracted by evaporation, and in lump or solid form by direct mining. During the year 1927, salt was produced in southern Ontario; and in the Malagash salt district, Nova Scotia. Ontario salt is obtained from brine wells, while Malagash salt is recovered by mining rock salt, A small quantity was also ship- ped from stock from the McMurray field in Alberta, Hungary prefers burlesque films, with new reels next in favor.

To Be a Mild Winter. Ohl-Tuner1 are predicting a mild winter, owing to the fact that large, gaar.titic, of fish worms are found quit(' near the eurface of the ground in the fields where the farmers are doing their fall plowing. This has been considered a fairly accurate sign of continued mild weather td former years. Concerning Gun Licenses Word ]las been received from Toronto from the Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries, D. Mc- Donald, to the issuers of gun licenses as follows: It has been suggested to the department that it would be more satisfactory to resident hunters if the ,un licenses were is;uc•d from June 1 in each year to May 31 of the following year. The ileparttnent 1 has decided to conform to this ar- nangentc'nt, and an order -in -council was passed on Der. 4, until May 31, 1029. Any person now in possession of one of these licenses will not therefore. have to take out 21 rev. ,i ''rise anti: May 21, 1.12,0. It will 'be in order for you to stark on any of the 1928 gun licenses, which may i be presented to you. "This license valid until May 31, 1929." Any person not now in possession of a ' gun license who wish to hunt rabbits or other small game during the cur- rent winter may be issl,ed saute, you will make a note on it, preferably in red ink, as outlined above. Rural Mail Boxes. :Speaking on the subject of Rural Mail Boxes the Mount Forest Con- federate says:—The Tamer's name on a mail box serves a good purpose providing the person driving along the road is not driving too fast, otherwise not many names are print- ed large enough to read. Fran an advertising standpoint a name print- ed large on a barn is preferrable. We might easily take a leaf out of the book of the Michigan Farmer in this respect. One can drive for miles and miles and see every barn paint- ed, invariably red, with the owner's name in white letters nearly two feet long. It may be that the name of the farm also is painted and if some particular breed of horses, cattle or sheep are specialized in, this is mentioned likewise. The merchant in - town has his name in the window to advertise his place of business; why shouldn't tlbe farmer advertise his place of business also? We Impose Our Own Taxes. "As certain as death or taxes" runs the old proverb. A witness be- fore a body of tax statiticians, says an exchange, asserted recently: "Taxation is the most brutal thing in the world. If you don't pay youv taxes, along comes the sheriff and sells your accumulations for years. If you- do not have the money to pay your taxes and lose everything you have, you get little or no sympathy from your friends and neighbors. Therefore, I say, 'taxation being brutal should rest as lightly as pos- sible upon the shoulders of the citizenry." Most of the taxes we pay are self imposed for expenditure in our own immediate locality—school, 2 town, road, country, provincial taxes. Every man, in that he is (or should be) a voter t at thee lcctiona where most of these taxes are to be high or low, constructive or confiscatory. There ,s on thing sure: The more we demand from the public treasury, the higher our taxes will go, lesexr-LOOK AT YOUR LABEL epi Church Notes s rr UNITED CHURCH The regular meeting of tate W.M.S. of the United Church was held on Thursday afternoon; Dec. 13th, at the Parsonage.

MELVILLE CHURCH e accustomed. Sometimes the mention of foreign missions causes people to shut the door of their mind or it may be a Political question. The gospel of the resurrection at which the people of Athens shut their ears has brought comfort to thousands of people and the Gospel as preach- ed to the Gentiles has brought Christ to the people of every land. Often it is the thing which we re- fuse to hear which we most need. We should. listen with an open mind to the gospel message. At the evening service tits. Pas- , tor's text was Psalm 8. The subject "The -'esti' ors n•+rvel that God had selected man to reveal his greatness on tit.' earth," All :scripture gives us an idea of the value of man as the viceroy of Gott on earth. In Christ I we see the highest perfection of manhood and from his sacrificial death we get an idea of the value which God placed on man that he i was willing to give his son to save manhood. What. are the require- ments to attain perfect manhood? 'rhe answer is in the Psalm. "Thou I modest him to have dominion. Many are slaves to common belief. We believe what others believe. We ac- cept religious beliefs without think- ing them over for ourselves. The - progress of the world is due to the men who had dominion over their minds and had the courage to in-. vestigate things for themselves. Our conception of God should bear thinking about. To do this it should be a growing conceptions. To attain to perfect manhood we should have control of every department of our lives and place ourselves under the control of Christ. Acts 22:22. "They gave hien au- dience unto this word" was the pastors text in Melville church Sab- bath morning. Paul was in Jerusa- lem for the last time and was making his defence before those who were trying him. He told them of his experiences and how he had been commissioned to preach the gospel. The Jews listened attest- ' ively until he mentioned that he was to preach to the Gentiles. Then I they shouted away with such a fel- low from the earth. As long as Paul said things with which they agreed they listened attentively but when he said things with which they did not agree -they closed the door of their ininds. We today are like the Jews of old we are willing to listen -to the gsopel message as long , as it does not interfere with any of the things to which we have become I g i)� CAR OF Coke and Nut Goal Expected this week J.
