Mrs. Ross, whose midden name was Jessie Flanigan, was born in Stranraer, Scotland, in 1834, and had reached the ripe old age of 86. In 1856, she came to Canada and re- sided in Ayr, Ont., until her mar- riage with .Archibald Ross in 1860, when they moved to Tuckersmith; since then she has been a resident of the township, except for a few months prior to her decease, during that time she resided with her, daugh- ter, Mrs. Tufts, a Kirkton. Like Imany of the early settlers of this country, she inherited many of the sterling qualities of her race, being a kind, industrious Christian woman, who took an active interest in every- thing which stood for the uplift of the community.

Of a more practical and immediate nature was the action taken at the October meeting of the executive committee to organize a national wool pool. A committee, headed by J. F. Walker, had already- been ap- pointed to consider the matter. It found that by September nearly 000,000 pounds of wool had been pool- ed in fourteen states, A central sell- ing agency will be created to handle these pools on a nation-wide scale. Three other steps of wide import- ance have also been determined upon. One of these is to institute a traffic and transportation department. A second is to create a department of education, one of the big jobs of hich will be that of publicity. The third step is to undertake a study of national taxation laws, to make sure that any revision of such does not shift a greater burden from industrial interests to -the farmer. In this latter the federation has had the advice of Prof. T. S. Adams, of Yale University. The Farm Bureau referred to ite members early last summer the No- lan taxation bill, now up for‘ consid- eration in Congress.. The vote was almost unanimous against the bill. A second referendum deals with compulsory arbitration of labor dis- putes affecting interstate carriers. public utilities and the public safety, of all disputes between employer and employee, and the repeal of the Adam- son law. • Once this referendum gets to work- ing smoothly it will be possible to show how farmers by the million think on a bill before Congress or on any national problem. The day of self-appointed leaders, professing to speak for the farmer, of misrepre- sentation of farmer sentiment, -will be over. •EXETER Anniversary Services.—Annivers- ary services were held in the James Street Methodist church on Sunday, and were unique in more than one respect. The preacher at the morn- • ing service was Rev. M. J. Wilson, pastor of the congregatiop, and at • the 'evening service Rev. George Mc- Allister, M.A.; pastor of the Main • Street Methodist church,. and a for- mer pastor of the James Street con- gregation, was the preacher. No special appeal for inoney was made as is usual at each service, but an appeal for men and women to decide to follow Christ was earnestly pre- sented. In spite of the inclement weather, large congregations were present at both services, who listened attentively to two discourses. The Doherty Male Quartette, from Clin- ton, assisted the choir and sang twice at each service, as well as in the Sunday school in the afternoon. Mr. Hart, of Hamilton, presided at the. organ with marked ability. The text for the morning service wa4; "Of Zion it shall be said, this one and that one was born in her!' Psalm 81, 5, The subject of the evening, was "Why Smith Should Go to Church." This was the 58th anniversary of this large and fine congregation, and the pastor said it would be interesting to tell of the inany souls born to th new life in James Street Church, and then launched into his sermon, giving reasons why Smith should attend church. It vras God's house. Its aim was to teach of God and heaven, in fact, the church was the greatest university in the world, the greatest source of education in existence,, He should attend to find his bearing; be- cause of the fellowship, always rich and uplifting, always new, because it is the hornet r.f prayer and, lastly, because souls are born there. Bri- tain is great because Livingstone, Wesley, Gladstone, Lloyd George and others were born there. The sermon was closed with the account of the conversion of Dr. Hodges under tie ▪ minliztry of the Rev. Sam Jones. 1•••••••••••••• T iCK Rie ref iTel Read, Stewart Pros.' en page 3.
