With labor demanding high wages, short hours, and many privileges the farmers in this community cannot afford to hire help, they exchange work with neighbors, and assist each other in times of sickness. The 40 -hour week is not for farmers. In place of farming more extensively and hiring a man for a year, we think it advisable to cut down the work to what the farmers and the family can do. On the farm the hired help, with free hoard, lodging and laundry, can save much more than 'when em- ployed in town. If you must hire help choose one who likes farm life. Treat him as you would like to be treated your- self, pay decent wages, consult him when planning the work, When the work is slack allow him shorter hours. Most games, Mrs, Bob Dalton, Geo. Carter; Lone hands, Mr. and Mrs. Har- vey Taylor; Consolation, Harry Tibet, Hugh Campbell. BRUCEFIELD The regular meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society was held Tuesday, March 8th at 2:30.
