Golden Wedding. - The following
from the Manchester Motor, of
Kansas, will be of interest to many
old friends in this district: "Mr. and
Mrs. Alexander Mustard experienc-
ed a very pleasant surprise on Mon-
day evening when more than sixty
guests arrived at their home to assist
in the celebration of their fiftieth wed-
ding annivrsary, the affair having
been planned by their children. A
short program was given in the early
evening, during which several old-time
violiThi numbers, by Sherred Taylor
and group singing were enjoyed, and
the following vocal numbers render-
ed: "Put on Your old Grey Bonnet,"
Miss Catherine Whitley and Mrs. W.
C. Roughton ; "I Love You Truly,"
Mrs. E. J. Housel; and "When Your
Golden Hair Has Turned to Silver
Grey," Mrs. Leah Young, Mrs. Hous
el, Miss Whitley and Mrs, Houghton.
The most interesting feature of the
evening was reminiscences by a num-
ber of the older residents of the com-
munity, some of whom have been close
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mustard fo,"
many year. Many incidents of early
day happenings, some of them droll
and others serious. After a most de-
lightful social time, a delicious tray
lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Mus-
tard received a number of very beau-
tiful gifts which will serve as re-
minders of a very happy event in
their lives. Mr. Mustard was born
in 1851 at Brucefiteld, Ont., Canada;
being the eldest of fifteen children.
He came to Dickinson County, Kansas
with his parents and brothers and
sisters in the spring of 1875, his
father homesteading on a farm four
miles southeast of Manehester. The
following fall he and his father pur-
chased the section of land adjoining
IVfanchester on the northwest. 1V1r.
IVfmtard acquired the west half of
the section, where he later built a
small house and "hatched" for a
couple of years. Mrs. Mustard, whose
maiden name wa, Elizabeth Young,
'was bern at St. Andrew's, Quebec,
1858, and was tine of six children.
•
She came to this communitY iu 1878
with tWo, 13:110gegi r4he were mcving
hez'e Xioxa '001ada, and taught school
in the Keystone and Harvey districts
before her marriae. Mr. and Mrs
Mustard were married February 2nd
1881, at the parsonage near where
Talmage now stands, the ceremony
'being performed by the Rev. H. A. L
King, and the drive there and back
was made in a lumber wagon. They
at once started housekeeping in the
little home which Mr. Mustard had
built on his farm and here their six
children, Jessie (Mrs. M. L. Ander-
son), Helen, (Mrs. John Moffett), Nic-
ol,• Minnie, Walter and George were
born and reared. They continued to
live in this home until 1896 when they
built the fine country home in which
they now reside. Mr. and Mrs. Mus-
tard have experienced many hard-
ships, trials and privations, as have
all the pioneers but their courage
never failed; when adversities came
they met them bravely and kept up
the struggle, determined to win. In
spite of all the hard years, time has
dealt very kindly with Mr. and Mrs.
Mustard, and they are both so young
in spirit that their age rests lightly
on them. Both are in the best of
health and as active as many younger
persons. It is hard to believe that
Mr. 1VLustard will celebrate his 80th
birthday anniversary February 12th,
and Mrs. Mustard her '73rd on March
13th. Only one death has occurred
in this fine family, the youngest son,
George, who was in the U.S. Naval
Service, having passed away at the
Great Lakes Naval Station in 1918.
Mr. and Mrs. Mustard have eight
grandchildren. All the children were
present at the golden Wedding of
their parents with the exceptioe of
Mrs. M. L. Anderson, who resides at
Seattle, Washington. We know of no
finer people in the community than
Mr. and Mrs. Mustard and they have.
many friends who extend best wishes
and hope they may be privileged to
enjoy a good many more years to-
gether.
TUCKERSMITII
Misses Elizabeth Taylor and Jean
Russel spent Sunday with Mrs. J.
Taylor.
Miss F. A. Houston, of Brantford,
spent the week end at her home.
Mrs. Wm. J. Smale.-Word was re-
ceived Saturday of the death of Mrs.
William J. Smale in the Evangelical
Hospital, Detroit. The deeeased was
before her marriage Irene Haliday,
and spent her girlhood days in Gode-
rich and Colborne Township. In 1916
she was united in marriage to her
now bereft husband, William Smale,
making her home in Hamilton,
migrating to Detroit in 1918. The
deceased was in her 37th year, a loy-
al wife, a faithful mother and a kind
and thoughtful friend to all who knew
her. She leaves to mourn her loss,
her husband who was kind and gen-
tle to the end, five young children,
William, Jack, Vincent, Warren, and
one daughter, Loretta. She also
leaves her mother, Mrs. John Holiday,
and a sister, Delhine, (Mrs. Harold
Wallace), both of Detroit. A sister,
Etta, predeceased her thirteen years
ago. Mr. and Mrs. Alva Way, of
Seaforth, were with her shortly be-
fore the end came, which was a shock
to the family. The funeral was held
from her late home to the family
cemetery, Detroit.
"I can hear my Saviour calling,
Where He leads me, I will follow;
I can hear my Saviour calling,
"Take thy cross and follow Me,"
Where he leads me I will follow,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the
way.
Demise of Miss Margaret Ann Mc
Lean. -One by one the older genera-
tion of Huron born Canadians who
were linked with the pioneer settlers
are rapidly passing hence. In these
memories of early pioneer days,
"Riverside Farm," Tuckersmith town-
ship, has been a cherished spot to the
1V1eLean family for almost a century.
After the eldest son of that genera-
tion, John McLean by name, had esni-
grated from Scotland to Huron Coun-
ty, and who settled on the "Mill"
ferns on the southeast corner at Kip -
pen, Ont., there followed, on or about
the year 1833, the widowed mother,
with the .balance of the family, Rob-
ert taking up Lot 29 on the south side
of the Mill Road; Jaisses, north of
Kippen, Let 18, on the east side of
the Lotelon road, and the mother, with
her two youngest sons, David and
William, settling on "Riverside." But
perhaps the most notable and most
highly cherished of all, was the com-
ing of the young Scottish orphan girl,
Miss Ann Bell, who, haring lost her
parents in very early childhood, was
placed under the care of a not too
kindly relative in Glasgow, who kept
a herd of dairy cows, and where she
became wonderfully interested in live
stock, till she reached thirteen years
of age, when she also came to Canada
with her two brothers, Robert and
William Bell, of Usborne Township,
but `fterwards found her way to
"Rliverside Farm" and became 'the
wife of William McLean, the parents
of the subject of this sketch. Mar-
garet Ann, the last of a family of
three, passed away at the old home -
steal on Sabbath last,February 15th,
in her 70th year, after a prolonged
illness which she bore with remark-
able hope and resignation and a love-
ly submission to the Master's will.
Her brother, known as "Riverside"
John departing some two years ago,
and her younger sister, Mrs. Thomas
McMillan, some three years previous-
ly. Mrs. McLean was very soon to
become known as Widow McLean, of
Riverside, losing her husband before
her youngest daughter was born. She
was a remarkably shrewd and noble
minded woman, a realfarmerette, who
lived and loved and enjoyed her beau
tiful farm surroundings, her home,
and more particularly the direction
and companionship of her little- fam-
ily. Seldom is it our lot in life to
witness such loyalty between mother
and children, and where they were all
so fondly and deeply attached to each
other. Margaret Ann was the last
survivor of the family of her genera-
tion. Bright and lively and enticing
in her youthful days, she was most
highly esteemed and respected by her
friends and acquaintances in life; but
being stricken with a serious deaf -

tier' and test, and their families, lint
inore partienlarly jn ;her fondness fz'
her nephew's little,hildren'she large-
ly lived, and moved and had her be-
ing in their companionship in recent
years. In all her business dealings,
she was the soul of honor and of kind-
ly consideration for others. But above
all she was firm in the faith of her
father's, and lived a devout and re-
ligious life. With her Bible, the
Lards Prayer and "Rock of Ages"
was her steadfast gaide, she loved
her church and proud indeed of its
many ministering pastors, to whom
she was greatly attached, and, for
whom she cherished the fondest and
most enduring remembrance. She liv-
ed and died in the fervent belle that
she would see her Pilot and enjoy the
grand reunion with her loved ones in
the life beyond the grave.
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning at the
bar,
When I put out to Sea.
With such a tide, though moving
seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which draw from out the
boundless deep,
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bells,
And after that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of fare-
well,
When I depart.
For though, from out our bourne of
time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the Bar."
The funeral service, held at her late
residence and from EgmondVille
Church was conducted by her belov-
ed pastor, the Rev. Me. Malcolm. In-
terment took place in the family plot
in Maitlandbank cemetery, the pall -
bears being James Broadfoot, Robert
Cameron, William Charters, John
Martin, James Allan and Wm. Black.
CANADIAN GARDEN SERVICE
Variety in Vegetables.
With abundance of variety of veg-
etables at our command there is no
reason why we cannot have a prc
fusion of these delicacies from late
Spring until Fall, and through the
winter too if we have sufficient space
The old-time garden was a bit light
on variety and also rather short in
the length of season for the various
vegetables. We had a taste of green
stuff like lettuce and spinach, a few
meals of peas and beans, and then
depended largely on potatoes anr car-
rots with a little corn to see us
through the season. That is not nec-
essary to -day and thisis the time
with a pencil, paper and catalogue
to make sure that our garden does not
lack variety. From a few weeks af-
ter planting time we should have the
first radish, lettuce, cress and onions
from sets, and 41 we make several
sowings ol the seed at weekly inter-
vals' these things will keep coining
on for a month at least. Shortly af-
terwards the first sowings of spinach
will be ready and by taking out, ev-
ery other plant rather than cleaning
up the row, the season will be ex-
tended. Again, with successional
sowings and the use of early, mediuc
and late sorts we will have fresh
spinach coming on for a month or six
weeks. About this time our first head
lettuce will be ready and also the
early peas from which we start pick-
ing from forty-five to fifty days af-
ter soWing. With the use of two or
three types and two sowings, a week
or ten days apart, peas will last for
six weeks, while in some localities
where the weather does, not get too
dry or too warm it is possible to have
them corning on until August. By now
we are in July, and the first Irish
Cobbler Potatoes, or other early types,
should be ready to dig and also some
carrots and beets. About this time,
too, we should be switching to Cos
Lettuce, which is sown later than
the leaf or head sorts, and thrives in
hot weather. Early beans of both
the green and butter type will be
ready and if sown at intervals should
keep coming on right through the
summer. Second sowings of carrots
and beets will follow the early crop.
Broadbeans, a delicious and substan-
tial vegetable, very popular in Eng-
land, will also 'be ready now, together
with Swiss Chard and perhaps the
first row of spring sown, extra early
Sunshine corn. This is of the Ban-
tam type, almost as good quality and
a week or ten days earlier. It is
possible to have tomatoes from early
plants, staked and well cultivated and
fertilized, at the end of July. We can
vary our usual diet now by Chinese
cabbage, Endive and Summer squash,
while September will not pust be a
feast of corn and tomatoes, but will
be these plus Kohl Rabi, Vegetable
Marrow, Egg Plant, Pepper, Melons,
green sprouting Broccoli, 'Cauliflower,
Red, as well as Geeen Cabbake, Kale,
Brussels Sprouts and Leeks. Some
of the white types of Corn like Cory
and Country Gentleman will keep
ready for use after frost if the plants
are cut and the whole stock stored
away in a shed. Tomatoes will con-
tinue to ripen if vines are pulled up
and hung in the cellar, or if the green
fruit is picked, wrapped in paper ana
simply stored in baskets. Squash,
pumpkins, melons, carrots, onions,
beets, celery, potatoes and other late
crops will continue to supply our table
until long after the garden is buried
in snow. Look over the seed cata-
logue, include all your favourites, add
a few new ones, plan to spread sow-
ings over a month and your garden
will he P. source of genuine satisfac•
tion long after your neighbor has
started buying his 'vgetables again.
Shrubs.
There should be a few flowering
shrubs in every Canadian garden ad-
vises Dominion Horticulturist, W. T.
Macoun. Among the most satisfac-
tory, in order •of 'blooming, according
to this authority, are the Spireas,
Arguta and Van Houtti, Russian Pea

Pictures For Children's Rooms.
Often one will see a picture on a
magazine cover, which is attractive
but which cannot be used for fram-
ing because of printed advertising
matter on it. I have found a way of
making use of these pictures. For
instance, my small boy fancied a pic-
ture, of two small dogs staring at a
large spotted dog -in a recent maga-
zine. The picture was entitled, "Is it
measles?" I wished to frame it so
I cut the dogs out carefully; also the
title. I found a piece of old black
material and stretchedit on a piece
of cardboard, then placed thedogs
and title upon it -then framed it.
You have no idea how nice it looks.
The 'black background brings out the
colors GO well.
Children soon grow tired of pic-
tures and this is an inexpensive way
of changing them often. If you have
no dark material, cheap black lining
may be bought for a few cents a
yard.

cents.

A New Roof
Council Standard Galvanized Cor-
rugated Steel Sheets is doubtless the
cheapest and best roof to put on barns
since its introduction in 1924. It is
heavily galvanized and in a class by
itself, and is not to be compared with
the low grades of iron offered on the
market. No better material put on
the market by any of the other roof
factories. We can supply ordinary
corrugated iron, if wanted. The price
is away down this year, and the Galt
Art Metal Co. gives easy terms as
usual.
For a dwelling house roof, we have
Asphalt Shingles of any weight, shape
or color desired to select 'from. Also
Art Brie Siding of any color. All
down in price this year and quality
good. A. new'roof is cheaper than
leaving on a worn out one. Many
have proven this to their sorrow.
Get the benefit of rny long experi-
ence with roofs and putting them on.
I solicit your enquiries before order-
ing elsewhere.
