Will in the village from Saturday until

former pulpit In Blyth Methodist church
and his host of old friends were glad to
hear him again. Rev. John Holmes
went to Parkhill, where he was a for-
mer pastor, and took charge of Mr.

--Strawberries will be more plentiful
than ever this season. The extraordi-
nary demand for ventilated fruit CUR
from the Beameville and Oakville dis-
tricts signify that the crop is somethjng
phenominal. It le not, however, ex-
pected that the prime will become ex -
Optionally low, ae the hot weather of

' much influence upon the market.
—Those members of the Hamilton
Methodist conference who pointed out
drat tltereapere too many church society

children being left too much alone, got
pretty near the core of a great evil. If
more attention were devoted to home
e nd parental duties, and there were
fewer societies and organizations for
the management of everybody's affairs,
we should probably have better results.
If the homes did their work half as well
as the public schools do theirs, we ehould
be near the solution of the problem.
—A curious and interesting bird story
originated in Stratford. • Some time ago
the attention of Conductor McKnight
and Brakeman Smith was called to a
robin working in and out from beneath
the platform of a passenger coach on
the train on the Port Dover line of the
Grand Truuk, which leaves Stratford
each day at four p.m. and returns at
10 a.m., remaining in the Classic City
the house between. After investigating
they noticed that the bird wee building
its nest on the draw -bar of the coach
which is directly beneath the platform.
Day by day the interest of the train
crew grew as they watched the work of
the bird RS it carried the necessary
metoriel for building her nest. She
worked faithfully while the car was
stationary and when the hour carne for
departure, she left the tracks. Often
the coach watt left on a different track
but she never faded to locate it. The
neat was completed and the next move
of the bird was the laying of the eggs.
Four are already in the nest and the
progress of the bird and its holno is
acing anxiously watched to see if she
and her mate will be successful in get-
ting safely away with their young
family of birds.

—A local philosopher is rather severe
on some of our residents when be writes:
"Young men on the streets with their
hats on the back or side of their heads
and hair hanging down their foreheads,
cigarette or 15 -cent pipe in their mouths,
are as cheap as old , ern -out horses.
Nobody wants then at any price. Men
will not employ them; girls will not
marry them. they are not worth their
keeping to anybody and it is doubtful
if they cat keep themselves. I1 any
young man who happens to rend this
answers to this description, let him take
a good look at himself and do what his
conscience says is best."
