What about your daughter's furore
tnow of less than One
BATTY New Year is the wish of the
]editor of The POST to bis family of
readers. May 1925 he full of many real
blessings,
Bx careful how you handle the old
fashioned lantern about your premises.
Nearly every week an accident is report-
ed of the upsetting of this light giver
and often with disastrous results. A
good stout nail or a dozen of ibem to
bang the lantern on in handy places, or
a stdong wire, with a handy soap, may
avert loss of time and money and afford
better service by the well devised meth-
ods in use. Insurance Companies are
sharpening up on their petrous nod a
ready acquiescence in following their
rules carefuily. with "home' made" sug-
gestions backing them up, will do good
and establisb confidence:
FEDERAL and Provincial Parliaments
will soon be convening. Keep an eye
on the doings of these Cabinets and
follow, at least in a casual way, the
doings of these houses. To be an in.
dependent thinker both sides of ques-
tions must be read so that correct pos-
itions may be taken. Sometimes it is
not lost time to write a note of enquiry
or even complaint to the local represent-
ative in following up a public question,
Young Peoples' Societies and debating
Clubs should delve more into procedure
of Parliaments, County Councils acd
Municipal Councils. It is excellent
trainiug for coming days. The Boys'
Parliament idea is along right lines.
"Tunas was a crooked man, who walk.
ed a crooked mile, &c," the old nursery
rhyme, was thought to be just a joke in
the bygones but of late it looks as it tbe
story was not only founded on fact but
true almost from the first chapter to the
last. Severe sentences have been pro-
nounced by the Courts in the hope of
calling attention to this toboggan in
public life and it is to be hoped the les-
son will be heeded but integrity must
'be the chief constituent in every person's
conduct if the goal is to be reached in
human affairs. It is not safe to sneer
at scruples or joke at so-called minor
offenses. There's only oue riglit way
of being square.
ONLY 8 per cent of the farms in Can-
ada are worked by teoaots as compared
by 38 per cent with Uncle Sam. The
advantage of ownership gives au added
interest and zest to the work and also
ensures greater stability. I1 a man is

out his work or make his plans in a very
different way to a tenant, altbougb there
are numerous instances where the latter
exceeded in thrift the owner's style of
farming. 1g24 was in advance of some
of tbe recent years and let us hope for
better results before anotber to months

BEFORE long the annual meetings of

would like to ask a warming up toward
the former 'by'the Farmer's Clubs and
Women's Institutes so that by such a
combination a livelier interest would be
engendered in formulating and carrying
out old plans and purposes of value and
also inaugurating a new order of affairs
when the adv vetaees of such could be
discussed at tbese gatherings where the
plans are laid for 1925 Fairs. A good
Fall Fair well backed up ought to be of
prime importance to a community but
the people must be behind it and push.
Now is the time to give the Fair a boost
if you expect it to be a cracker. Your
cordial support will be a fine spoke in
the wheel.

portunities of employing and improving

cite talent, whatever it may be and it
should be ours to be on the rt eo we
alert
will be ready If doors of progress open
to us. Dreaming about advancement
may be a pleasant thing but doing things
that will qualify us for the next place of
duty is better, While a few folk may
have been born '.'with a' silver spoon in
their montb," the generality of people
have to place the silverware there them-
selves and not depend ou the boost of
somebotsy else, We might have to wait
a long time, hence with Mush uncertainty,
we had better keep jogging alohg on out

RADIO development is certain to
+hrive and will be of greater value to the
human family than can be thought of at
the present, A few fine Baud concerts
and choice choruses, with a good deal
of jazz thrown in, was supposed by some
to constitute a program but today one
of the great instructors of the people
may lie in the Radio system with all its
possibilities. Wonderful progress is
anticipated in the near futnre`as its uses
are better generally understood.
Gar your shoulder to the wheel in
your community foriez5 in a more dir-
ect way than ever in the practical help
afforded to the Sunday School, Church
and the various Societies that have the
uplift of the people as their main pur-
pose. A few folk may tug alonj{ and
keep tbe cause living but the zest and
throb of numbers with unanimity of
ideas and ideals sod a willingness to
lift is simply wonderful. Unused en-
ergy should be employed and the best
way to do tbis is volunteer service on
the part of everybody, to ill you be one
with a friendly hand to tinkle into it
right away ? Your example may be of
very real service:
Now would be a good time to piste
work for this new year, as a good start
on; a well arranged program is of ad-
vantage. Time speeds along in such a
burry a month dodges away from us
before we bave hardly bad time to say
"Good Day" to it. The old injunction is
"What your band findeth to do, do it
with your might." '1'be sailor must have

and both old and young will find it of
real importance and advantage to spy.
out the ground ahead as far as it maybe
possible ani plan for emergencies and
probabilities. Some of the most suc-
cessful in life are the wide awake fellows,
ready to tackle even a hard job Good,
honest work is always in place and It is
not time wasted to be thorough. "Any
old way" is a poor motto and will' not
wear, as the quality is not there.
Big Value for Your Money
It is said that the Family Herald and
Weekly Star of Montreal works on
the principle that nothing but the
best will do for its readers. The sound-
neaa of this policy is amply dem-
onstrated in the rapidly growing
subscription list of this great weekly.
The public have been tempted by
trashy weeklies at "give•away prices,
but when it. comes down to value for
your money and a genuine Canadian
flavor to your reading, the Family
Herald and Weekly Star has no oow-
petitor. This year we see that the
publishers are giving each enbscriber
whose subscription is received in time
a large calendar for 1925 with, a bean.
Wu! picture entitled "The Sale of
Old Dobbin", and a free entry to a
contest in which ten thousand dollars,
will be awarded, The eubacription
price of the Family Herald is only
Two Dollars a year.

This antique looking wheelbarrow and spade do not appear capable of very

of a very important event — the ceremony marking the commencement of
the construction of the Canada Central Railway through Pembroke, Ontario.

Reeve of the village, the lady who performed the ceremony of the naming
of the road and christening It with a bottle of champagne. They recently
passed into the hands of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which company
took over the Canada Central lines in 1881, and will be added to a museum
of relied connected with the early days of the railroad which is being formed
in Montreal.
So much for the actual ceremony. The Pembroke "Observer" for
September 8rd 1875 says: "The assembly then adjourned to a spacious booth
that had been specially erected for the occasion, where champagne and beer
had been provided for the purpose of drinking several toasts which had been
previously agreed upon, by the committee; but a number of individuals,
apparently more intent on drinking champagne than doing honor to any
toasts, took possession of the tabes, and the regular order of the programme
had to be abandoned, The Pembroke Brass. Band was present and performed
