Although tractors and trucks are doing a lot of the work that horses once did, farmers realize that the right kind of horses are still one of the. most remunerative products of the farm. Dr. Young, of Sudbury, reports that since September 10th, 1922, he has shipped from Seaforth- 50 carloads of 'horses, anct paid $160,000 in cash for then. The purchases were chiefly made for shipments to the lumber camps in. New Ontario. The doctor says this class of horses are becoming scarce, and farmers wonlrl'do well to keep up their stock to retain this trade. - HOCKEY CLUB EUCHRE, The Seaforth Hockey Club will hold a euchre in the town hall on Wednesday, Dec. 5th at 8 p.m. All euchre players from the town and sur- r01111ding country 'ate cordially invit- ed.

Forbes' says: "There's a bunch of *us here in Toronto, Some I can locate n.:,w and the others 1 shall locate he - fore long, You sure have a bunch of good fellows in charge and very soon there will he another hunch down here all pulling together: There's no town got anything on old Seaforth f" The committee is delighted with all replies received thus far. The Finance Committee will have the subscription lists in circulation nest week and appeal to the citizens of the -town and district to make gen- erous donations. Its our fiftieth birth- day and we are going to eclebrate. The committee will account for every cent expended and see that it is spent to the hest advantage. The books will he open 'for inspection at any time. All donations are payable to the treasuiTer, Mr, R. \1nrles> Jones,. at the Dominion Bank on or before April 1st, 1924. COLLEGIATE NOTES. Ten new movable chair -desks. es well as ten other back seats, have ar- rived and have been put in place. The moveable chair -desks are used in the class which uses the assembly room. These chairs can be moved out of the way making more room for the girls' physical culture classes. The other seats were placed in 1ITA. and IIIB,. snaking the pupils there cutch more comfortable. The Literary Society will give its second programme in the assembly room of the school on Friday after- noon. The programme will be in charge of the third forms. Below are some excerpts front the. editorials of the School paper read at. the last meeting: "The Seaforth Cadet Corps is under way in great style, and it has a very promising future. The credit for this change is given to our competent instructor, Mr. Bissonn- ette, who has shown a great deal of zeal and pep, and certainly knows his work. Every boy 'of eligible age is to be in the corps this year, a,t'hing which was scoffed at, as it was thought only the older boys were capable. The first and second fortes. already show great promise. and by next year they will he as good as any iii the school. Work has gone smooth- ly and a great deal of military drill When cold Lias been covered. W en weather comes, Mr.Bi s nnette purposes o sso starting g an officer's training • cors for P those students which show -promise. Last year the Seaforth Cadet Corps did not boast a single commissioned officer. Furthermore, Mr. Spencer has undertaken to ;tart a signalnal corps. This we know will be a success as t Mr. Spencer has had much experience P in that branch of the work. In this corps are E. Anent, R. Willis, R. McKercher, 7. Ritchie, J. Stewart, C. Haugh, G. White, L, Norris, A. Dale, M. Savauge, L. Workman." "Itt the laboratory certain' mysteri- ous boxes have been arriving for the past few days. In 'the boxes is new apparatus. Now, aseveryone knows, the equipment we had was very poor, ail although some of it looked good, most of it wouldn't work. Nowthe defective, parts have been replaced and other good apparatus has been -obtain- ed. So instead of taking the teacher's word as to an experiment, the pupils may actually see for themselves, and thus the point is impressed upon them more strongly than a quoted state- ment would be." EUCHRE AND DANCE. There was a good attendance at the euchre and old time dance held in the parish: hall of St. James' church larder the auspices of the Catholic Women's League on Tuesdays;even- ing, November 27th, The ladies' first prize was won by Mrs, 5. F. McMann, gentlemen's prize by Mr, O'Rourke; consolation prizes, Mr. J. Burke and; Miss M. Trott. Lucky chairprize was won by Miss Lucy ;Burke, Lunch fol- lowed after which an old -tine dance was indulged in, the music for which was furnished by the Forsyth or- chestra, G,W,V.A NOTES. The euchre held: in the Club Rooms last week while nut attended largely, yet was quite an enjoyable affair, 11 is unfortunate that many supposed this euchre was for members only;' as on the contrary it' was open to the public. The executive plan to have several of these affairs in •the•near fu- ture, and if possible will have one of the townships invited for an evening's entertainment before Christmas. The bowling alleys are ready for those who wish to take part, and it is hoped the gentlemen who were mem-, hers last- year will do' their' share in the upkeep of an institution which is a real credit to the town. Krug's orchestra has been engaged Fur the annual Christmas dance to ne held an the 26th. The ladies of the Auxiliary- will held their annual meeting 00 the lith of December, and all ladies interested will be good 'enough to he present on that date. (Jur own orchestra of local br,vs is practising faithfully and will supply music for a local dance soon. These hots play remarkably well, and should be iven every aid anri encourage- ment. Announcement will be made later regarding the evening they will make their first appearance.

To- day. lie said, is just the unit bun in which today rides with all the past yesterdays. We are too prone to bots clown to the nteutaliet of -to -day and forget the lessons which the past teaches us. tie referred to the great heritage of faith, courage and heroism bequeathed to as by the pioneers of this country, our forefathers and the men who fell in Flanders. He con- trasted family life in the past with the present and deplored the break- down of the hone. People in these dills take amusements as units, not as a fancily, and the automobile has in many caslas broken tlew9t the family pew in the church. No church or Sun- day school, he said, can make up to a child- for the loss of religious train- ing. and influence in the home. The speaker etipressed himself as living more concerned about the prodigal parents thanthe prailigal .8011, ..111 the evening, Mr. Cochrane spoke an the need of exhibiting the unselfish team spirit in playing the game of life, - A grind programme. of ni1151r was rendered by the choir ander the lead- ership of Mr. and Mrs. Milne Rennie.
