Old Mitchell Bridge ;Works Sold -- A landmark since 1.1878, the A. Hill ,3z. Co., Bridge, Building Wank's, may • soon he razed to make room fOT s. modern garage. Edmunds and Cook have purchased the building to take possession on or about , December 12th, The old building was erected in 111878 by the late Alex Hill and was used for conducting a machine floe business .until 111894, where the firm of A. Hill ,St Co., bridge builders, was .formed. ,Our townsman, j.as. Hill, a son of the late Alex Hill, had for years been superintendent in charge of erection for the Canadian Bridge Company, In that capacity he had been supervising the construc- tion of bridges on the Canadian Nat- ional Railways, as well as building bridges all over the Daminion. He was in charge of the erection of what we now refer to as 'the old union station" in Toronto. It was when he retired from this position and returned to Mitchell that tile firm of A. HillCo., bridge build- er., was formed. This business was carried on until 19118, when conditions forced the abandonment of the enter- prise. Following the retirement of the late Alex Hill from business in 19.30, Jack Hill entered the 'business and continued with the firrn until it closed its doors in 81923. Alex Hill passed away in 11924. Western Ont- ario is marked with bridges bearing the name of A. Hill & Co., as build- ers. and these will stand for some years to bear record of the industry in Mitchell. Commencing in the gar- age business in Mitchell in 1921, Jack Edmunds has been continuously en- gaged in that trade ever since.— Mitchell Advocate.

William Aberhart, Premier of Alberta, came from Ottawa on Saturday to spend the •week end with his mother, Mrs, William Aberhart, who on Wednesday, Dec, 7, cele- brates her ninetieth birthday. While here, Mr. Aberhart 'brought a fine, lorcelul gospel message to a large congregation in First Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening from the parable of the 'Prodigal Son, in which he stressed the spirit ana, at- titude of the elder brother, Before introducing .his subject the speaker expressed his appreciation of the honor bestowed on him in giving him the -opportunity of occupying the pul- pit and also the pleasure of teeing again in 111,4 old 'home town and meeting friends., There is no prob- lem, the speaker continued, of the human race that is not dealt with in Holy Writ, and the reason people do not 'know haw to solve their prob- lems is because they do not take the Bible for their guide. 'We are living in the days of the aftermath of the great depression with suffering and sorrow on all sides. Grave problenia have arisen. The words of the Master !reveal the principle cd solving them. Chri.t gave expression to the great • compassion of God and He endeavor- ed to put it. into the heart of Peter, • that impulsive, .passionate man, and taught him the duty of forgiving not 1111y seven times but seventy.

Hymn '59 was sung and Mr. Craw closed the meet - ng with prayer; PIPE TOBACCO FOR A MILD,COOL—SMOK/ faults or 'sins then we can throw' stones at other people. The law of mercy -supersedes the law of the 'cov- enant. The chiseler and crook would get out of his own .deibts tit would not do the same with his debtors, It came to us today with terrific warning a law to live and let live. So long as we are greedy and not square, so long -we have the condi- tions. The hope of ;the world is in Christian people who apple • these principles. The Great T,eacher snolot of two 'sides in our very' complex and -complicated 'lives .and the meth- od• of solving it. There are only two ways, the 'broad and narrow (there is no middle way), and two relation- ships in life to Christ: that is not with Me is against -Me." There are two resurrections from the dead. Christians are, going to be taken out of this world and then there will be the greatest time of tribulation the world has ever seen, and there are two destinies, heaven and hell. You have to choose what you want. We find people who like to hear sermons about the prodigal lbecause they do not apply to them, If you talk of the sins of the congregation you are get- ting on thin ice, The blind, reckless efforts of the prodigal eusd the rigid, stoic lack of co-operation even with. his father on the part of the elder brother were :both aharacteristics of a superficial religion. Do y'ou think the spirit of the elder :brother had any- thing to do with the prodigal leaving home? It takes the greatest patience, en- durance and love on the part of fathers •today to handle their boys and girls. There are people who 'haven't any patience with another person or any responsibility. They are not their 'brother's !keeper. The premier remarked that he had been accused of giving something for no- thing and spoiling the people. "By faith are ye saved; it is the gift of God," All yott 'have of heaven you get for nothing. Christ bore our sins in His own 'body on the tree." "God commencleth His love to us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." The resources of this great Canada should be .used for' the ,people. Every boy and girl shoeld have enough to nourish them. We must catch the spirit of the father: "All that I have is thine." The elder son complained that his father never gave him a calf, Perhaps he was so grouchy and snarly that his father never could get near him. It is disgraceful for a Christian to hare that spirit and fool- ish for Christians to take a -huff and stop going to 'church. We should all be on our knees in this world of sin and wickedness praying against that confederacy in Europe. We will never realize our privileges till' they are gone, when we will 'have to war- ship as we are told, and how. Every man should be in church praying that the British Empire be not destroyed. Don't be a prodigal. Don't take a chance on it. Don't be an elder bro- ther, either. Remember, seventy times seven. Through Christ forgiveness of sin is possible. All punishment fell on the Saviour. All our sins were laid upon the Christ of Calvary. If you accept Him He never hold anything against you. 'Be ye ,kind-hearted, for- giving one another, even as Christ bath forgiven you." That is Christian- ity in practice, Treat your fellow man in the spirit of Christ as you would like him to treat you. The service was conducted 'hy Mr. Davidson, a theological student from Milverton, the place of the pastor, Rev, Hugh Jack, who was in Avon - ton preaching anniversary services. Mrs. L. Mitchell of St. Marys• dJ- iightec] the congregation at 'both ser- vices with !beautiful messages in song. The evening service in Eg- mondville United Church, with which Premier Aberhart in his early life was connected, was withdrawn.

Total grain production in Ontario is estimated at 166,7915,000 -bushels as compared with 1163A116,000 bushels in IOW, and an average annual produc- tion of 4169,066;000 bushels during the ten year -period I119.2t5. to 1934, The pro- duction of turnips and mangolds is now estimated at 44605,000 'bushels as compared with 39,605,1000 .bushel in 19317, while the otal of 'hay and clover crops and corn for 'husking, amounted to 9,1794,000 tons as against 9,406,000 tons in '1907. It is quite evid- ent that field crop production this year in. -Ontario was -on the whole very ' satisfactory from the fact that total grain production is the highest of any year.sinee 1930; mangolds and turnips the largest crop since 1•19158; and total 'fodder crops greater than in any year since 11928, with the single exception of the year° 105. , Winter Feeding of Pigs Winter feeding of swine presents several -problems which arb not of the same importance in summer hog production. First, adequate housing accommodation is essential in order to grow the pigs quickly .and econo- mically. Second, suitable ,feed mix- tures are necessary, and third, 'parti- cular care must be taken in feeding and caring for pigs. The housing accommodation for winter -pigs should ,provide dry and reasonably warm, sleeping quarters. Draughts should be avoided and the bed should be well 'bedded with -dry straw. Do not crowd too many pigs into a small pen, but allow sufficient pen space and trough space so that all can have an e•qual chance. In the feeding of the pigs a suit- able mixture of grains properly sup- plemented will go far in 'keeping 'the pigs healthy and thrifty. Provide a mixture of grains such as oats and 'barley, and possibly mill feed or wheat, and supplement with a lira - Lein supplement such as skim-milfk, buttermilk or tankage. Include with the meal mixture at the rate of 1 to FREE SERVICE OLD, DISABLED OR DEAD HORSES OR CATTLE removed promptly and efficiently. Simply phone "COLLECT" to WILLIAM STONE SONS LIMITED PHONE 21 .
