We would rather not have our advertisers late, but When the forms are on press we cannot change advertieetnente. Monday fore• noon please 1 Potatoes fir Demand. The scarcity of potatoes in the Unit- ed States has had a decidedly favor- able effect upon the Canadian markets and the demand has been so great that buyers find it slow work in filling or- ders. Within the past three weeks 29 carloads of potatoes have been ship- ped from the vicinity of Hamilton; for which the buyers paid the farmers nearly $14,000. As there is a duty of 25 cents a bushel on potatoes entering the United States and the freight charges are up to the top notch dor American friends have to pay about $1 a bushel by the time they reach Chicago and Pittsburg, ti.e principal purchasing points.

She formerly resided }near Lucknow, and the remains will be in- terred in Kinloss cemetery on Thurs- day. Anniversary And Lecture. Wingham Epworth League held their anniversary on Sunday last. The weather proved most unfavorable, nevertheless there were good-sized congregations that listened attentive- ly to the excellent sermons delivered by Rev. Jas. Livingstone of Mitchell. In the morning he spoke from Eccle- siastes 12 : 11—"Reinember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." In the evening, the subject was "Pour- ing our lives into the lives of others," based on the call of Mishit to active service. On Monday evening, Mr. Livingstone delivered his popular lec- ture entitled—"The Human Voice," and for an hour and a half delighted t a dull l the audience. There was not period in the lecture, as various inci- dents in the speaker's own experience -were drawn on to illustrate the varia- tions of the human voice. The selec- tions from Shakespeare's "Dream of Clarence," and "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe were excellently given. Professor Glen Campbell of Clinton gave a number of fine selections on the pipe organ that were very much enjoyed, and the League appreciated his kindness very much indeed. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Rev. Jas, Livingstone for his able lec- ture, and Professor Campbell for his organ selections. The programme then closed with the National Anthem and the benediction. Nigh Prices Continue. . Under the head of the "Financial Situation," the Daily Globe of the 17th has this to say :—"The class which has been least affected by dull times Is the farming community. The high price of grain and of animal pro- ducts has resulted, of course, in the rapid growth of the market for con- sumption, which has been out of pro- portion to the production. The farm- er must remember that this condition will continue to exist. Tho increase in population will prevent over,pro- dootion of breadstuffs, and !neat, and dairy products, and for the next year at least there is no danger of an out- put in excess of requirements. No farmer need think of limiting produc- tion iu agricultut'ei, stock -raising, or delaying, for it is with the product of these industries that we pay for an imported merchandise and settle our other liabilities abroad, and the re- gniretnents of the world will continue to furnish a good market for the largest surplus of farm commodities that we can produce." Campbell's Stain and Floor ]finish is the most durable finish for floors' and surfaces that are Walked upon. Made transparent and in colors imitating natural woods. ltichatdson & R.te upon request will show a sample of old flooring coated with this finish. It wears longer than regular floor "varnish, Dr. A. J. Irwin and Dr. Price an- nounce that they will close their Den- tal parlors every Wednesday after- noon during May, June, July, August and September. The New School Readers.'

The Government, in order to control the output, has made plates for every page, and Will retain the ownership of these, simply lending them to the suc- cessful tenderer, who will do the print- ing; binding and distributiug. The plan adopted by the Ontaite Govern- ment prevents such a. thing ne the School );look ring beteg repeated, and ensures the books being produced at the lowest poeaible eo:,t to the chil- dren, The matter in the books has also been impr eted.
