Since the Produce Division of the Sea -
forth Farmers' Co-operativeopened
last July, the volume of eggs sold the
Co-operative way has increased to such
an extent that it has been necessary to
install an additional egg grading ma-
chine.
This trend indicates in no uncer-
tain manner that poultry producers in
the Seaforth district appreciate the ad-
vantages of selling, as well as buying,
the Co-operative way.
With the installation of this addi-
tional grading equipment, and with
added staff, you can be assured that
eggs brought to us will be graded in
the quickest possible time.

Will Christmas over lose its charm
and romance Only .to: ,.,'those ' Who
violate itssacred .implications by sac-
rilege, • by selfishness; 'by sin! For
Christmas Day was born out' of the
mingUnfi of human happiness and
Divine love, fulfilling a promise of
Eternal Glory! It 1s centred in Child-
hood, and
Childhood is
i t s loveliest
symbol; go t

ished Babe, in
>Whom.all the
,,,,,irrgmise of.the
-'past; all the
romance of
nthe .present,
and all the
hope of the
_ + future were
impersonated-
In
mpersonated-
In the birth of Jesus in the Bethle-
hem manger, God hath chosen a sim-
ple situation of life- to confound the
things that ...mere mighty. A Jewish
babe? That was an everyday affair!
What? Born in a stable? Rather
novel, wasn't it? But what was !hart
beside the pomp and masquerade' of
Caesar's dominions? Caesar's order
must be obeyed; all must be enroll-
ed! Did Joseph have his son enroll-
ed? That is ,, very important, you
know-, for Caesar,^hath ordered it, and
Joseph must obey, on'pain of death.
But there was one Jewish babe that
was not enrolled under Caesar that
day. And before Him the Wise Men
of the East bowed themAelves, as have
the wisest and strongest men ever
since. All the pomp and pagentry of
Caesar's court have long ago gone in-
to obscurity, but the Child Jesus lives
and reigns over regions that Caesar
never heard of. And the Light of His
Star is still
bringing Wise
Men from afar
and the hum-
blest men
from the near'
hillsides, t o
orship at
His feet. They
are not im-
pressed so
much by the
mystery of his
birth, as with
the.Ohrist-child
Himself. He,
and not his
birth, is the
Great miracle of the ages! And it
was He, more than. anyone else, that
sanctified childhood.
And what would Christmas be with-
out the children? Rather a dull af-
fair, we imagine. It may be partly
true that Santa Claus, rather than
Jesus, is their impersonator of good-
will; but even that is not wholly out
of place. To most of us, the crude
baying about. of the Holy Child, and
the promiscuous use of His name in
a spirit of frivolity would. be sacri-
lege. Let the children know that
Christmas Day is Jesus' birthday, and
not that of Santa Claus, anil they
will' soon learn to distinguish be-
tween the two. In their childish im-
aginations they conjure up the kind-
liness and joviality and stir up with-
in their elders the romance of Home
and family affection. We enter into
their joys and enthusiasm, and are
young again with them. And that is
what makes. Christmas a Christian
festival—the finest of the year! With-
out them Christmas Day becomes just
Cher holiday, and a rather dull one
that. But Christmas Day will nev-
ose its meaning, nor its charm, as
as there are children to cele -
e it, And it will never reach its
est -significance until every child

2, verses 1-15. The secretary, Gwen
Christie, read the November minutes.
The roll call was answered by forty-
three members. Mrs. Barber told a
Christmas story, which everyone en-
joyed. The business period followed.
After the offering another hymn,
"Hark! the Herald' Angels Sing," was
sung, and the meeting closed with the
Mission Band benediction A party
then follo*ed when games were play-

Drawbridge Nests Avert Muddy Eggs
The bugbear of the 'farm poultrY-
- eggs through the hens
trampling on them with muddy feet
—seems to be as rife on Australian
farms as in Canada. So the Egg
Board of Victoria offered $260 prize
for a nest that would clear the egg
• before the hen could muddy it up.
As a result, the Board's office in Mel-
bourne soon got cluttered up with an,
1 array of models, some of them calcu-
lated to upset the equanimity of even
the most, stolid$hen, says the Austra-
1 Tian News.
One model incorporates If draw-
bridge, gearwheels, collection box,
and conveyer belt. As-- soon as the
henlays an egg, it rolls down a chute
to the conveyor belt. The hen must
cross the drawbridge to leave the
nest. Her weight causes the draw-
bridge to drop and set in motion the
gears which cowry the egg along the
conveyor belt and into the collection
I box. Some models, says the News,
utilize cereal packets and hairpins.
Others are masterpieces of the metal-
worker's art.
