Grain alone or cheap mix­ tures composed mostly of grain don’t do the same- job as Purina—built, not to sell at a price^ but made solely to give you top production and profit from your flock.. Why be sat­ isfied With just average production when you. call get from your flock all those extra eggs your hatcheryman has bred into them? Why wait until mid-winter when you can enjoy top prod­ uction right now arid through fall high prices? Extra Cost? Less than one extra egg per bird per month pays for it.

Campbell, of Goder­ ich outline some of the reasons why we should buy every Wax* Saving^ /Stamp and Certificate we can. A veteran of the last war, Mr. Camp­ bell knows, from bitter experience, what war means to human beings, and the dire necessity of providing the money to bring the present con­ flict to a successful issue. The more stamps and certificates we buy, the sooner the war will end. I ATTENDANCE DOWN AT KIRKTON FALL FAIR The Kirkton Fair last week was a success in everything but the at­ tendance and consequently the gate receipts were very disappointing. The exhibits outdoors and indoors, were of the very highest quality. Some of the very finest animals were to be found among the splen­ did showing of horses and cattle, some fine herds being represented in the latter. A keen, interest was shown in the judging. There was the. usual fine showing in the indoor -departments. Roots and vegetables were of excellent quality. The baking and cooking was enough to tempt the mouth to water. Fruit and flower exhibits were lighter than usual. Foot races for boys and girls, an old-time fiddling contest and the sleight-of-hand tricks by Everette Miers, of London, amused and enter­ tained the spectators. The Kirkton Library tent with, hot dpgs and refreshments was well patronized. There were sev­ eral other concessions which seem­ ed to be doing a fair business. The weather was cool but fine and evidently the farmers were mak­ ing use of the fine weather to get the fall work, which has been much, delayed, caught up. Prize winners were as follows*. Old-Time Fiddler’s 'Contest—Ward Allen, Frank E. Harburn, Wm. Hyde, J. Ridley. 100-yard race—Reg. Paul, Ger­ ald Paul, Jack Urquhart. Boys’ race under 16—Robt. Bibby, Donald Rodd, Harry Hern.
