The Instinct
To Save
is in every well-balanced man.
To start a savings account de-
velops a foresight that will be
to its owner's benefit in many
ways, and to select this old
established bank as the deposi-
tory for yqur money is evidence
of sound and conservative
judgment. 37

ing party was organized and the ab -
sen discovered in a shanty in
tee was v
D. Ramsay's bush, utilized for sugar
making. Mr. Turvey had been with-
out food and was quite exhausted.
He was speedily brought to hie home
and is making fair progress toward
recovery. His health has not been
good for some time and in -a melan-
choly stage he struck off from home.
The door of the shanty was barricaded
from the inside by some wood.
Investors!
Increase Your Interest !
Interest rates are higher now than at any time in recent years.
The British Government have increased their rate to 4j/ ; the
e ?
Canadian Government to 5%. Has your interest increased
I can invest your money now as I have done for others before. I
make it my business to study investments. It is all I do so I do it
as thoroughly as possible. Those who invested money through me
last yetu, while I was in Beussels, have done even better than they
expected ; not one is receiving less than 7%, Does this rate appeal
to you ?
Do you know that while your money is doubling itself at 3% that
it will become five times as great at 7%. Think what a difference
this will make to the future of yourself or of your family,
You will be satisfied with the results I can obtain for you, I could
not do business as I do if it was otherwise. One disappointed in-
vestor in a place where I am known, as I are in Brussels, would
ruin any prospects I have for further success in this field.
You can do business with me by mail just as easily and
just as safely as by means of a personal interview. Just
drop rue a card and I will send you further particulars, The
cost of this card will be the only expense that you will have in con-
vection with any transaction you may have with me, while your
profits will be as large as are possible without endangering the
safety of your money.
My present address is SCOTIA JOT., ONT. I will be back in
Brussels later but you cannot afford to wait until then. That is
why 1 am calling your attention to this now.

55TH ANNIVERSARY.— Wednesday
cf
Inst week a happy company of
relatives and old friends assembled at
the comfortable home of John and
Mrs. Maeon, old and highly respected
residents of the 3rd line of Mortis
township, to celebrate their 55th Wed-
ding anniversary. The day was very
happily spent with games, an auto-
mobile ride (the first for the boat and
hostess), social chat, feasting on the
good things provided and the presen-
tation of an address. The latter was
read by Mrs. 1. M. Martin, a daughter,
whose home is in Clinton. Address
was as follows :—
DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER.—It is
the great delight of your loving child-
ren to meet together today, on this
the 55th anniversary of your wedding
day. When we last met we thought
it a great joy that vela were spared to
us so long but we have had the privi-
lege of 5 years more of your wise
counsel, good example and unfailing
kindness. We present you this trib-
ute of our great appreciation. Little
do you know how much we lean upon
your timely help in trouble and your
good advice in difficulty but we know
it is the love you alway show to us
that helps us the most. To have had
such a father and mother is something
to ever be thankful for. You observe
we are nearly all here to greet you to-
day and onr dear sister who is absent
in body, is with us in spirit and we
bring her love to you along with our
own. As we express our best wishes
on this anniversary day we trust our
daily prayer for your happiness and
comfort may be answered and that
you may be spared many years,
When God's purposes in us have been
fulfilled may we form a united family
in our Father's House in Heaven.
Signed,
YOUR CHILDREN.
A short reply befitting the occasion
was given, after which all joined in
singing, "Should auld acquaintance
be forgot." 4 daughters, (Mts. J.
M. Martin, Clinton ; Mrs. Hugh
Moses and Mrs. Jas. Iogg, Morris ;
and Mrs. H. McEacbern, Holstein)
and 3 sons, (Wm., Hullett ; Jno.,
Wawanosh. and Alex., at home,)
were present on this happy occasion.
The only absentee was Mrs. J. Hill, of
Portage la Prairie. Guests from a
distance were, G. and Mrs. Knox, Hul-
lett; Mrs. Hincks, Holstein, sister and
niece of Mr. and Mrs. Mason and Mrs.
Zurback and son, Jimmy, Stratford.
The latter is a great grandson, his
mother being a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Martin. Mr. Mason is 84 years
of age and his partner about 80. In.
the football game Mr. Mason took a
kick at the ball as did two of the more
elderly guests, Peter Budge, of Bel -
grave, who has seen 75 Summers and
Alex. Smith, Brussels, who is up
around the 70's but all smart. There
are 15g rand children. Before locat-
ingin Morrie Mr. and Mrs Mason
wre residents of Hullett township.
The latter was a Mise Watt, of that
municipality and came from the
Orkney Islands. Both Mr. and Mrs,
Mason enjoyed the day very much
and the company put in a very pleas-
ant time not soon to be
forgotten.
The auld folk have comparatively
good health and bid fair to see a good
many years. We extend congratula-
tions to Mr. and Mrs. Mason on the
happy event.

BLUEVALE GIRLS VS. JAMESTOWN
GIRLS.—
Upon a Summer's evening, Monday,
August twenty-third,
A sound of wild and woolly cheers in
Bluevale could be heard.
For all the town and countryside had
come to see the game
Which promised to the winners, vic-
tory and deathless fame.
The Jamestown girls blew into town
'heath Charlie Forrest's wing,
The Bluevale girls rolled up
their
sleeves and jumped into the ring,
A man from Philadelphia, a brave and
fearless chap,
With a heavy life insurance, said ite'd
referee the scrap.
P
The Jamestown girls were whitewash-
ed first, a cheer went up, but then
It wasn't many minutes till they
whitewashed back again
It looked as if a deadlock were des-
tined to spoil the fun,
When in the second innings Annie
Spence secured a run,
That changed the luck for Bluevale,
Genie Diment got one too,
Irene Maclilwen followed suit, before
those girls were through
The team in middy blouses had their
rivals in the air,
The Umpire smiled at Jamestown but
he got the stony stare.
But do not think the Bluevale girls
did all the stunts in sight 1
That Mary Smith, of Jamestown, as a
catcher Was a fright,
From Greenland's toy mountains to
Africa's sunny coast,
There's Smiths and Smiths and Smiths

There's Smiths in Andalusia and
there's Smith's in Ceylon's Isle,
But catching ball's, this Mary Smith
has got 'em skinned a mile,
And when Miss Elsie Johnston whirl-
ed a ball across the plate,
The big League pitchers we have
knowuseemedpunk and out-of-date.
The batters wildly pawed the air and
dropped out one by one
As little Elsie soaked them in like
bullets from a gun.
And at the bat she proved her skill as
well as with the mit,
They're finding balls in Wingham yet
that Elsie Johnston bit.
Among the other Johnston girls be-
longing to the nine,
There was Martha, there was Margar-
et and there was Adeline ;
'Twas'Martha, in the third, who sailed
around the bases three
May Burke carne in behind her with a
whoop of victory
The Miss McDonald's did their beet,
Miss Payne was out for gore
But after that, naught they could do
would raise that little score.
For at the bat they had to face Miss
Lillian McCall,
While Maymie Messer caught them
out on nearly every, ball,
They very seldom got to first for
Mary King was there,
At second, Mrs. Abram was those
Jamestown girl's despair,
While Annie Diment in the field was
one complete surprise,
And tanglefoot had nothing on
Mayme Stewart for catching flies
And when the Umpire waved his hat
and said the game was through,
The Bluevale girls had made three
runs, the Jamestown girls but two.
It's always sad what happens to these
reckless Umpire chaps,
But while the friends and relatives
were picking up the scraps,
Two maiden's fair passed through the
crowd that hung upon the fence
And gathered in for Red Cross Funds,
telve
dollars and some cents.
