Tliese two men had spent a We- i, time in the grain business. They had knowledge of wheat and wheat crops in every country. They were wheat experts, and, summing up this knowledge and backing it with their experience, they came to the con- clusion that wheat would reach the two dollar mark before last spring, and they bought accordingly. But the wheat market did not act that way. As a matter of fact, it came much more nearly reaching the price of two cents, than it did of reaching two dollars. The net result was a loss to the company of six million dollars. That the company could stand a loss of this magnitude, shows its strength, and the statement of its present of- ficers that it could not only survive such a loss, but that, within the space of mantas, it would again be paying dividends, shows further that the milling business must be on a pretty sure foundation. No need there, one would say, for increased duties and greater protection. But that, as Kip- ling says, is anotherstory. What we would like to point to, is the fact that if these two men, ex- perts in their business and with all the inside information and figures at their command, made such a sad fail- ure in interpreting the would-be price of wheat, what chance is there for the everyday man on the street to make a fortune aver night in the wheat pit? Yet there have been thousands try- ing to do just that thing in the past year or two. And not only in wheat. There have been thousands trying to do the same thing in other grains; in real estate, in mines and mining prospects, etc. Thousands who could and would tally learnedly and at great length on the merits and demerits of the stock market offerings, when if the truth were told, many, if not most of them could not have told wheat from bar- ley; a well from a mine, or a rock from a lump of quartz, if they hal seen them together. Thousands, who, although agricul- ture is Canada's basic industry, would not invest a dollar in a farm mortgage, but who were ready enough to put all they could make, all they aad saved or all they could borrow, into any flyebyrnight scheme that a high pressure salesman assured them would return them a thousand per cent. or more, or into some other scheme because there was a friend who had a friend on the inside, right on the ground floor. If the top fetchers of the financial world of Canada have not been able to escape from the market without badly singed wings, and few of them have, what chance is there, or what chance will there ever be for the lit- tle fellow who plays with the same fire? vt ;tclaa,4X•exae Mae,' Ige, • • gao. naGroa were ir* f4.04- 40h- -recetft, tgr, .ahcl.

Miss Garret was the first white woman to cross the dark continent. She told of Angola, our mission field of which we studied in our last study book, "Drums in the Darkness," We are sorry we could not all have heard Miss Garret or that all our members did not hear the Splendid reports. The first chapter of our new study book entitled, "Fruits of Christian Missions in Ja- pan," was introduced by Mrs. Wsn. Laidlaw. This chapter is a picture of Japan, facing a modern world and deals with her industrial, educational and historical developments. The story of her developments reads like a fairy tale, from a pasition of in- eignificance with no influenee what- ever. She has gradually assumed a place among the great nations of the world. The new book promises to be very interesting. A chapter is taken up at eaeh meeting. Mrs. Nes- bit gave the second part of the devo- tional leaflet.

Church on Wednesday evening of last week, was a great success and most largely attended, many coming from , quite a distance. The fowl supper was served in the spacious (basement of the church from five to eight p.m. and the many long tables loaded as they were with all the good' things, made a most attractive and appetizing appearance, and it was the verdict of all that the supper could not well be surpassed, so well and (bountifully did the ladies do their parts, and they were complimented on all sides. Fol- lowing the fowl supper, a splendid entertainment was put on by the Classic Entertainers of Stratford, their names being Claude Chislet, the boy -wonder violinist, who has won so many first prizes and medals in- cluding the late great National Ex- hibition at Toronto; Mrs. Chislet, so- prano; 'Miss Olive Pequegnat, accom- panist; Dave P.

Rev. A. Sinclair, of Hensall United Church, and the Rev. W. Lane of the North Side United Church, of Sea - forth, will exchange duties on the Sabbath of November 16th.

Pryde as the D.D.G.M. for South Huron, will be making his first of- ficial visit to Hensall and will no doubt be accompanied by a number of the :brethren, of Lebanon Lodge, Exeter.

Gathering leaves and planting bulbs is now engaging the attention of a number of our villagers. Three of our prominent and enter- prising beefiness men returned during the pest week after finishing up in neat style a cottage in the pinery, near a nice stream of water, sad where they can in the summer seas- ons enjoy nice quiet and at the sal& time good natural scenery, apart from the busy hum of commerce and campers, their names, being Mr. David Cantelon,, Fred Hess and Thos. Welsh, Albert Pequegnat, basso, all of whom proved 'first class entertainers and who had to respond throughout the evening to encores. Rev. A. Sinclair, pastor of the church, filled the duties of chairman in his usually pleasing manner, speaking for the audience in his appreciation of the most splendid fowl supper served and the excellence: of the program. The proceeds of the supper and a ten cent dinner on the following noon hour brought the pro- ceeds to considerably over four hun- dred dollars, but from which expens- es had to be deducted, but would leave a nice sum to the credit of the congregation. Death of Robert Traquair.—We re- gret this week to have to chronicle the death of one of the well known and much respected residents of the Township in Tuckersmith, and within about two miles southeast of our vil- lage, in the person of the late Robert Traquair, in his 67th year. The de- ceased had been in poor health for a number of years following a very severe attack of blood poisoning, but had been able to be around 'until a short time previous to his death, which occurred at his 'home on Mon- day night. Mr. Traquair leaves to mourn his death his widow, who was a daughter of the late Peter Robert- son, of near Chiselhurst; two daugh- ters, Lillian, wife of Mr. Arthur Jones of Exeter; Virgie, wife of Mr. R. 1Williaerre, of the Township of Us - borne, and one son, Ritchie, in the home. In 'religion the deceased was a Presbyterian, and in politics a Re- former, and was a well read and in- telligent man, of a kindly disposition and a good neighbor. The funeral, which was a private one, was held from his home on Wednesday after- noon last at two o'clock, and the re- mains were interred in the Henson Union cemetery. The floral tributes were beautiful and many.
