Tuesday of last week the tttonthly

Mutual Fire insurance Company was
held at Wroxeter, 11 was an event-
ful meeting from the fast that the
late veteran President, Jno, B1. Miller,
Itad died since they last met and this
meant the re-ot'ganazation of the
officiety. This was done by the pro,
motion of vice President Jackson to
the Presidency, the moving of R. W.

ing In of John D, Miller son of Jno.
R. Miller, to a seat et the Board.

Four of the number are sons of the
former members of the Board for
malty years and were consequently
fairly acquainted with the internal
working of the Cotnpany from this
relationship. We expect the newly
constituted Board will do their best to
maintain the old time efficiency and
rare in the splendid record of this well
known organization.
The following resolution which
speaks for itself was passed by the
Board :-
The Directors of the Howick Farm-
ers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company
would place on record their sincere
appreciation of the character and ser.
vice of their late friend and co-worker
Jno. R. Miller, who at the time of his
death was President of the Company
and who occupied that position con-
tinuously since January 1897 and was
a member of the Board for the past,
86 years. The Directors would
respectfully convey to the deceased's
widow and family their personal
sympathy in the loss sustained. Re-
solved that this resolution be entered
upon the minutes and that a copy be
forwarded to the widow of our late
colleague.
Signed on behalf of the Board.
Joan JACKSON, President.
Wroxeter, Marco 9, 1915.
President Jackson has been 9 years
on the Board and served one year as
vice President succeeding the late
Edward Buena, and is consequently
conversant with the business of the
Company. He will make a prudent
man at the head of the table.
Mr. Jackson was born in Oart-
weight township, Durham Co., Ont„
in 1853 and came with his father's
family to Minto township, Welling
ton Co., in 1802 locating on a bush
farm, After varying experiences in
which his tail was rewarded Mr.
Jackson sold his farm and moved to
Harriston 12 or 14 years ago where he
has since resided. He is a member of
the Methodist church, a Oonservative
in polities and is ever ready to lend a
helping hand to any good cense.
Those who know him best say "He is
all woo! and a yard wide" and we are
disposed to accept the verdict. We
wish President Jackson and vice
President Edgar a pleasant and suc-
cessful occupancy of office. The
latter is a genial old Howick boy who
has the good will of everybody.

The Sarnia Oanadian in correspond-
ence from Moore Centre speaks as
follows :-When the Moore Farmers'
Club held their oyster supper, in
Moore Township Hall, on Feb. 4th,
15 gallons of oysters, along with the
dainty ,and sumptuous repast pre-
pared by the committee in charge,
seemed sufficient to satisfy the de-
mands of the inner -man.. By 880 the
crowd was ready to listen to the in-
teresting program which had been
arranged. Excellent musical num-
bers were given by Miller Bros., of
Mooreline, Little Miss Gladys Pig-
gott
g
gott entertained the crowd in a re-
markable and pleasing manner for
one so young, E. Curran delighted
the crowd by his outburst of silver
tongued oratory. Other speakers of
the evening were 0. M. Fleck, Presi-
dent of the Lambton Corn Growers'
Association, W. Miller, from Alberta,
who spoke on the Partners of arliza
tions in
the West, and J A. McBean
President of the Lambbon Farmers
Institute. Mrs, Thos. Piggott (form-
erly Miss M. Switzer, of Oranbrook)
and J, 3. Jarvis rendered two fine in-
strumental duets. Prospects for the
future of the club look even brighter
than what its past has been.

in the East, yet the weather caimnt
compare with the Winter we have
had here. There is only snow enough
for sleighing and each day is warns
aid eurishiey. We had three or four
days at holiday tints about 400 below
but the atmosphere being dry one does'
not realize it being so cold unless you
look at the thermometer, but ever
since It has been beautiful warm days.
'('he cattle and hot see have run oat all
Winter as they' do each Winter and
stock looks as well as those honsed itt
barns in Ontario. There is a large
acreage in this diettiet:ready for sow-
ing in the Spring. We always have
good crops and never failures like in
Southern Saskatchewan. Ours is e
park country and not all clear, open
prairle, although there is usually
enough clear land for gond farming.
This is a country suited to diversified
fanning and large quantities of stock
as well as grain are shipped from here.
We have 8 elevators, 1 being a
Partnere 0o -operative one. The Grain
Growers is a strong orgenization In
Saskatchewan and this year eaeh
member is to give the proceeds of an
acre teethe Patriotic Fund. I lien not
a teal estate agent nor have I any-
thing to sell bub if anybody is think-
ing of locating in the West and wish-
es further information regarding this
disttict or wishes to write to tee I will'
be glad to give them more particulars
of the country. Yours truly,
