Changed Conditions As an aftermath of the war Can- ada was shut out of the markets and some mercenaries said; "Itis all right to sing 'Rule Britannia' and the 'Map- le Leaf Forever,' and wave the flag, but what has it got you? The tune shut out of the markets of the world, said we don't want to trade with any other country. Thenthe depression taught us as a nation what disease and distress teaches in private life. Heads had been turned in material gain but when they ran out of work end money, they started to think of the family circle, andresources were pooled. From 1920 to 1980 we were shut out of the markets o;f the world, and so in 1930 statesmen of the Bri- tish Empire were called together.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR The typographical error is a slippery thing and sly, You can hunt until y ou are dizzy but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses, it is strange how still it keeps, It shrinks down in a corner, and it never stirs ar peeps, Till the ink is on the paper when it grows to mountain size. The boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans; The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and groans— The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be, But that typographical error is the only thing you see.

Mr. Triebner points in par titular to the fact that on the farm of Elmer Wilson, second concession 'of 1)IcGillivray, no less than nine pre- .) vioes attempts, to locate' a well had failed. The owner for the past eight years has had to draw water to the farm that is, until just recently, when Ed. Wallcer, with his trusty rod divined a well. "It was 58. feet," said Mr, Triebner that I found water when I dug at the spot indicated to me." Of 25 wells that the same diviner has successfully located, I have dug five." The statement was corroborated. by GODERICH: Many friends in Goderich were shocked to learn that Benjamin H. Evans, for twenty-two years engineer at the power house of the Water • and Light Conitnission, had died suddenly in the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital on Saturday. Mr. Ev- ans had been in the hospital for ele- ven weeks and last Wednesday was preparing to return to his.home here when he was seized with a heart at- tacks which resulted in his passing a- way.

Their golden wedding anniversary was a great joy to them, Shortly they will observe their diamond wedding anniversary. They are both hale and hearty, except that Mr. Manning's hearing and sight are slightly impaired, and his wife complains of a slight loss of memory. They are members of the Baptist church and are natives of Englana, having come to this country when quite young. Mr. Manning has not missed church service this year so far. a telephone conversation when Mrs. Wilson stated that It was the "tenth attempt tofind wateron the farm, and that the well is 58 feet deep.

The tune shut out of the markets of the world, said we don't want to trade with any other country. Thenthe depression taught us as a nation what disease and distress teaches in private life. Heads had been turned in material gain but when they ran out of work end money, they started to think of the family circle, andresources were pooled.

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR The typographical error is a slippery thing and sly, You can hunt until y ou are dizzy but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses, it is strange how still it keeps, It shrinks down in a corner, and it never stirs ar peeps, Till the ink is on the paper when it grows to mountain size. The boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans; The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and groans— The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be, But that typographical error is the only thing you see.

IMarsh, Colborne township and Mrs. Herbert Muggridge, Hullett. During their stay on the farm, Mr. and Mrs. Man- ning planned and built one of the fin- est brick homes in the district, and raised three barns. Their farm was always well stocked with the best in implements and livestock, mixed farming was always their aim, always something to sell.

Mr. Triebner points in par titular to the fact that on the farm of Elmer Wilson, second concession 'of 1)IcGillivray, no less than nine pre- .) vioes attempts, to locate' a well had failed. The owner for the past eight years has had to draw water to the farm that is, until just recently, when Ed. Wallcer, with his trusty rod divined a well. "It was 58. feet," said Mr, Triebner that I found water when I dug at the spot indicated to me." Of 25 wells that the same diviner has successfully located, I have dug five." The statement was corroborated. by GODERICH: Many friends in Goderich were shocked to learn that Benjamin H. Evans, for twenty-two years engineer at the power house of the Water • and Light Conitnission, had died suddenly in the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital on Saturday.
