We. are sorry to learn that Mrs.
Thomas McKay is suffering from en
infection in her foot,
pour correspondent was misinform-
ed about the ;purchase of the 1150 acre
farm, lot 3" and part of 44, Con. 112, Mc-
Killop. It is Mr. Prod Leonhardt in-
stead of Mr. Fred Kintner. We wish
1VIr. Leonhardt success in his ander-
taking. The .puprthase price being only
$1600.00 with a bank bairn and a fair
!house It makes it appear that farm-
ing is still on the depression faces.
When we look (back t'o'S0 years ago
"in forest
a r
vicinity s a vt
when this vt y w
and the pioneers settled on the Can-
ada 'Co, lands and .paid $20.00 an acre
and harl no means to start but ;made
good by hard work and "built up the
modern h•otnes which dot the once
wilderness. It ,seems that the old eco-
nomic practice has to come back
whets 'the ywnoinen did their home
cooking instead of :buying .canned'
goods .and bailing their thread when
wheat was $1 a (bushel. and the 'bakers'
,bread was only 15 'cents a loaf, while
now wheat is worth 150 cents per bu-
shel and bread sells at 19• cents. It was
dropped to 8'cetts a loaf for two days
and then it was put up by the bak-
ers. There is something wrong aitd it
is up to the women and girls to do
their own fialcing which can be clone
for 4 .cents a loaf, if your time is not
too precious. Let us all worktogether
for the future prosperity as it was 80
years ago and '.bri ig back prosperity.
The annual concert was held inour
