An unusually large showing of Canadian live stock is expected this year, officials of the show state, ow- ing to the cancellation of the Fall Fairs in Canada this year. In recent yealra, all provinces of the Dominion have been strongly represented in both the livestock and crops division of the exposition. Entries for the purebred and iniv ideal fat stock classes of the exposi- tion will be accepted Until November est, he says; and for the International Grain and Hay Show, the largest an- nual showing of corn, small grain, seeds and bay in the country, i xltih- its may be entered until Nov. 20. Among the first entries to he re- ceived for this year's crops show are samples of wheat from Argentina and Australia, the latter consisting of first size Winning whew fromt P g t he Sydney agricultural show last Spring. It will be the first time that South America will be represented. Tlie Exposition will be staged in the huge International Amphitheatre, situated at the east entrance to the Chicago Stock Yards. It includes a central coliseum with seats for 7.500 and adjoining display raeas encom- passing six acres, Ontario Tobacco Crop The weather, as a whole, during September was exceptionally favor- able, and as a result practically the entire crop of tobacco in Ontario was harvested with no frost damage re• ported from any district. The entire crop of burley and practically all of the dark tobacco was in the curing barns by September 30th. With ideal curing weather since. the bulk of the burley crop has been harvested very little loss is expected from barn burn or other curing diffi- culties. The quality in the Hue -cured crop as a whole is good, but there is more variation in individual crops this yetis' than in either 1937 o' 1938, and the color of the cured leaf from this season's crop is somewhat dark- er than last year. This point is part- ly compensated for in the fact that the 1939 crop of itue-cured possesses more body than either 1937 or 19:18, In other words, while the present crop is not as 'flashy as that of 1933, it is fuller -bodied and should work well. The quality of burley tobacco this year is definitely better than of any recent crop, and similarly to Hue cured there is decidedly more body this season than during the past two years. fr' heck We Are Stelling Quality ooks Books are Well Made, Carbon is Clean and Copies Readily.

ONTARIO, Nes1 t; 50th Anniversary of Woman's Auxiliary Historie*.a1 Sketch by Mrs. M. E. Van Egnlond cesetinueut from _page 1) The next president was the wife e the DPW lector. Rev. John Berry, an Mrs. Berry d ar l ied on the world - 1'n them seven yeare. although not at a eftoug and with the care of srna elitldren she was not able to do mac active work. still did all -she was ab) for and the reetcny was always a thdisposal of the W.A. for meeting or other needs; Rev. Berry was trees tercel r0 eleaford and was called tt his heavenly home a 'few years meet wards. Mrs. Berry for sante year during the Summer months wee. weleente Vtsftor 10 the parish, bit passed away recently. Rev. T. H. Brown of Mc'aford sec- seeded and Mrs. Brown became pre cie1erit: sad .for 17 years carried at uncle. m6ny difficulties and much saint Ss. Some of the most faithful and best beloved of the members were called house and it was felt that their places would be hard to Their splendid examples have clone much for the W,A, Then during Mrs. Brown's tern the great 5061• wt115 on. We can all --in the different mission- ary Societies—r'eniemher how -hard it WAS to keep the !Mee oat'y -wort: up to its high standing anti to get funds to carry on as there' .so many veils from rid Ctons, and war auxiliaries, but the W.A. weathered the distress and mels all their liabilities. Haring airs. Brown's term wit celebrated our 25th anniversary, Dee. 1st, 1914, by holy communion in the church at 3 o'clock, Ft eV. i3rowu, celebrant, and then by kind invitation- of the Ret:ttn' and Mrs. Brown we went to the ree- tot'y_ where the first sleeting was held and had u reminiscent hour followed by refreshments. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered -.our host and hostess the their kindness. We also had cluing Mrs. Brown's term our 40th anniversary and the salve pro- gram was carried out, celebration of holy commueloit, Rev. Brown, cele- brant, anti then again adjourned to the rectory. Much regret was ex- pressed some time later when the rector announced that he was re. tiring Troon the ministry and would metre with his family front the par- ish- to live in Toronto. They are still spared to help in the church and church organizations. Then cane the two and a halt years' with an unmarried rector, Rev. F. Myers, His mother. who resided with hint was an active W.A. member but did not care to take' Office, Our charter Member was not 10 the par- ish so the next oldest member, Mrs, L. G. Van Egnlond, was appointed and with the loyal support of the "members the work was carried on. 'During the first six months with the aid of little mission boxes in which the ntembors put their spare coppers the W.A. raised about forty dollars and with this were able to do some- thing they had Mug wished to do, and were also able to pay their assess- ment to the jubilee fund. Rev,. Myers resigned and his sue. missal. was Rev, Canon Appleyat'd and how Mrs. Appleyard was wel- comed as leader of the W.A. Under her guidance the world (vent on smoothly and it is s0 1'eeent that we need not dwell on it. Again the an- nouncement came that Canon Apple - yard was retiring and that he would also be moving from the parish. Ow- ing to ill health he could not curry on. Both the Canon and B'it's. Apple - yard are welcome visitors at 0tm' gatherings. And now we are coming to our next president, Mrs. Hurford, wife. of the rector, ]rev. Dr. Hurford, a worthy attcrestnr to (he others. Again, as ft: Mrs. Brown's term, the dread war t loud is over us and it ix going to be hard to keep the missionary, work financed with all the calls for war needs, hitt we must not forget God's eoitlnland to send His Word to the uttermost parts of the earth, How -an they hear without a preacher or teacher, or how can a preacher or tmoher go without the many Mugs a missionary needs. They sat'- ritice so many comforts and endure o many hardships so we must not et the missionary work fall behind, even though there are so' many war ails. We pray that under Mr's. Hur- ord the W.A. may be able to keep np its high standard of always tweet• ug their pledges. At our 25th anniversary our secrel- ry Miss Case said we had ?ii m,'mb- rs on the roll and she hoped le the next. 25 years this number would be timely increased, As far as any rec- rds show 32 has been the !tightest lumber, the average about 21, But ce are proud of our W.A. as we have small- congregation and when we emember that there an so few in- nstries in the town to bring new enters in we are fortunate to keep up nr average. \Ve can recall the names 1' 70 who have passed to their re- vard in the fifty year's and no dente here are some we have not recalled. \Ve have been fot'ttnnate in getting ore new members and they have een able to pass on their experi- nces in raising funds in outer par- shes; Under the able management of It's. Shaw, the foundation of which as ]aid by Mrs. Charles Holmes who we regret has been seriously 1 and has to give up her work) a iris' Branch is to training and we opo their numbers will he increased. \\'e are sorry as tate foundation of Dint management of Mrs. A. Moore nd Mrs, G. McGavin, but as most of he members were promoted to the iris' branch this had to be dropped. 'i\ e. are sorry as th ieotmtdatioll Of tdssionu'y work really lies with the undors and it the parents would my try to interest the children I em are the same leaders would gladly continue their good work. I might note a verse that appealed to me and which I think will illustrate my melee; An. Angel paused- in his outward flight, With a seed of truth and love and. i light, And eked; "Oh where shall the seri be DOwtt, That it yield most fruit. when fully grown:" The Saviour heard and He said as smiled, "Plant it for Me in the heart or a child," The teaching will remain with them in later years and bear fruit. it This. branch clothes an Indian boy d and helps clothe a girl also and Bur- t' ing the last few years splendid hales 11 have been vent to the stricken West, 11 new blankets, quilts, new and second h hand clothing, new material to make e up, garden seeds, groceries and any- ( thing that could be of help in any s way. Melly lettere of appreciatou - came from the clergymen and the t recipient 14 telling what use the aft - ides had been put. One of the many s bales sent for the Indian boy each a year held, one sweater, one pair t mousers four pairs hand knitted stockings elastic, two pairs overalls, • braces, seventeen handkerchiefs, two • sults underwear, one woolen cap, one n '1010 cop, three ties, one pair. rub- bers, two pairs hoots, four' shirts, tenth brush and paste, two suite pY- jmeas, two quilts, comb and brush, possibly the next year it was varied by an overcoat and a Blanket. Other bales held rag rugs, spreads for the beds, blankets. subscriptions for magazines saitable for boys and girls, and always hold Christmas gifts for the clergyman or teacher, their families and for the pupils, For the leper mission parcel to China the contents were generally fifteen o1 more squares of turkey red cloth, seventeen pairs of hand knit- ted white wool wristlets; trots' or more white scarfs, fourteen caps (white) and white sox. Poe the Indian bale each year or parcel, eight kurtahs and numberless yards of pretty print. 10 a Moose Fort bale were Meted, ed ten quilts. You can imagine that was real Dorcas work. In 1913 a bale was sent to China valued at 377.65. This included a -ma- ternity bag and obstretrical instru- nnents, and also included 22 Turkish towels, 67 linen towels, a quilt, some factory cotton and rubber mitts. We can imagine how welcome that bale would be. It would be impossible to tell of all the work done in the fifty years, but this will give some idea of how much was accomplished. For tate last few years the foreign work had to be dropped and the W. A. Itas worked for schools. Many bales have gone to St, Paul's School, Blood Reserve, Alberta, and instead of so much Dort:as work in (Inc way of clothing it appears to be cheaper and more satisfactory to buy ready to wear garments. The branch stake quilts not only for the bale but for sale, and also take orders for quilt- ing. Some years ago to help with the pledge looney a ealendau' system was used with Mrs. Gales as treasurer and it helped considerably with our annual pledges. No doubt you are all familiar with the system. To eon - serve fuel clueing the very cold months the meeting, were held at the homes but it was not so conveni- ent as the work had to be taken from house to house. Tea was generally served and silver collection was had. This went for the educational fund to help the missionaries educate their children. Now the W.A.. meets once a month for business and devotional meetings and special meetings are railed if necessary for Dorcas work. Shortly after (Inc beginning of the great war in August, 1915. with the sanction of Bishop Williams, 0 spee- ial meeting was called at the rectory to form a prayer league. It was to last the duration of the war: we little thought it would last as long as it did. Twelve members took the rosponsib' ility of getting women of the town or country to each taken ten minutes every day for pr'ayer's and interces- sions at a time designated so that there was a continuous prayer going up eaeh day to our Heavenly Father that He would care for our soldiers, sailor's and airmen who were exposed to so many and great dangers and that He wend in His own good time send peace. We thought when that war was over that we would not have the ordeal again, but surely if prayers will help, God will soon send peace to this heantiful world that holds so much that is needed for everyone. but is contaminated by greed and selfishness. We have had 12 life mothers iu the Seaforth W.A. and nine survive. The three who have gone to their reward are, Miss Frances Fowler, Mrs. Henry Edge and Mrs. John Pinkney. I think Miss Jackson Of. Eg- mondville is next in line for long membership in the W.A., and Mrs. Garden of Toronto, hot for some years has not been an active mem- ber, and Mrs. Speare of Toronto. and we. are pleased to have her with us to -day. We have been pleased the last few years to have the members of the dif- ferent Missionary Societies at our annual birthday teas and also the Salvation Army represented. We had intended celebrating our 50th anniv- er Gary in a large manner hitt with the sadness of the war conditions we felt It would not Inc wise. We cannot bit wonder hove many of the present members will be alive at the end of another 25 years. We would like to mention our.Soc- ial Service work under the capable ttnd painstaking care of Mrs. Acle Reid, She has loaned her home a:o,1 lawn for three years for a garden tea to make money to send flowers and dainties to the sick and shut-ins. She. walks utiles in all kinds of weather to deliver' the boxes and flowers, and we are sure it all appreciated' --•the little visitor from St, Thomas Church. I hope 1 have not wearied you end will close by saying that we trust you have enjoyed being here as much as we have enjoyed having you. And do at forget that first things come first. ttnd t.lnat. Missionary work is one of he first connnancis. Do not let us fall own in it. War needs are worthy anti our men deserve the best, but yen if we have. to make sacrifices, `to elp red - cross, our missionary work s needed and by doing it we help in iany ways. 1 f 0 1 tt r d dl b e ] 4 w 'i1 a g t, 0 6 1 m n d e h n
