in loving memory of Agnes Miller,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richrard Miller,
who passed away one month ago.
She suffered long+ she murmured not,
We watched her night and day,
Till God relieved her from her pain
And then she went away.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more
And He has sweetly called her,
Ta yonder shining shore.
The Golden Gates were opened,
A gentle voice said 'Come"
And with farewells unspoken,
She calmly entered Home.
I
In lovingmemory of errs. Fred Hastie,
daughter of Mr. and mrs. J. D. miller,
who passed away November 24th., 1921,
Short and sudden was the call,
Of Beth so dearly loved by all,
Loved ones watched her here with tender
care,
As the days went swiftly by,
And oh it seemed so hard to bear,
The truth that she must die.
But only those that loved can tell '
The pain of not saying a last farewell
I-Iow we miss her welcome message,
Which so often used to come,
We often think of her in silence
And her name we oft recall,
But there's nothing left to answer
But her picture on the wall.

A Wonderful Tree
Kenneth Cameron, "The Apple King"
of Huron County, has a tree on his fared
65 years old, that this year rroduced 19
barrels of apples, netting its owner $50
over and above all expenses The record
of this inarticular tree for the past four
years is as follows: In 1318, 9 barrels;
in 1919. 9 barrels; in 1920, 20 barrels; in
1921, 19 barrels, a total of 57 barrels in
the four years. But this is only one tree
among many. A visit to this farm in the
apple season is interesting and a sight not
soon to be forgotten. The harvest this
year was over 1,000 barrels. Last year it
was around 2,000.

A Smile Each Week
Bob Adams, a contributor to the Coun-
try Gentleman and other well known
periodicals. hereafter will write a prose
poem every week for Tran ADVANCE und-
er the heading "Rude Rural Rhymes.”
This newspaper is one -et a syndicate of
leading Canadian weeklies for which Mr.
Adams is writing these poems exclusively.
Everyone is familiar with the "Lineless
Rhymes" of Walt Mason which for years
have been features of The London Free
Press. Mr. Adams is just as facile in
rhyme and original in humor as is "Uncle''
Walt." Readers of this paper will, it is
confidently expected, watch eagerly each
week for the Bob Adams poem.
The New Marker
The new license automobile markers
will carry back numerals on a white back
ground. The plates and general design
will be practically the same as this year's
but the visibility of the numbers is ex-
pected to be increased by the fact that
the figures will be four inches in height,
instead of about three inches as on this
year's markers. It is eicpeeted that the
usual plan• of allowing motorists a month
in which to secure the new licenses will
be followed this year.
