SEAFORTH, Friday, Dec. 10, 1920.
bald. Ross. 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. There survives to room of the Albion on the 15th, from

of the various livestock organizations,
will investigate livestock marketing.
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.

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.

Bible Society.—The annual meeting
of the British and Foreign Bible So-
ciety was held on Thursday evening
of last ,week when the representative
or Field Secretary of that Society,
the Rev. Mr. Bowerf, gave a splendid
illustrated lecture, which wae much
enjoyed. Owing to the meeting not
having been advertised as well as it
should have been, coupled with meet-
ings held by several other organiza-
tions the same evening, the attend-
ance was not as large as it should
have been for such a:n important
meeting, as that of the Bible Society,
but those pre -sent contributed very
well for the sending of the "good
book" to those who have it not. Pend-
