Every piece of DRESS GOODS SOLD AT BROWN'S is guaraneeed all -silk, all -wool, or wool -and -silk, as the case may be ---its high quality shows in the long wear of the garment as well as in the beauty of the cloth.

Those Clever Walkerton Girls Walkerton High School girls have composed the following song, says the Telescope : An I a soldier of the soil, .1 follower of the plough And shall I fear to hitch a horse Or shrink to milk a cow ? Shalt I be carried to the' mow On thistly, loads of hay While others strive with pen and heir Examination Day ? Are there no beets for me to •hoe 9 Shalt I not use the rake ? Shall I not help defeat the foe And-.4ight for freedom's sake ? Sure J must work if I would eat, My country 'tis for thee ; I"II bear the soil, endure the pain For the salve of liberty. Chorus At the farm, at the farm, Where I first saw a cow, And the burden of my books rolled away, There 1 worried not at all, For I worked in overalls, And ort, I was happy all the day.
