D Sco ,z Superintendent of lmmigra- tum for the Dorniinion Government, wr _c roto C. H. Sanders, agent • for this distrix t :says :—With the . ape preach of Spring and the busy season r the farms, I wish t, draw your at- tention to the fact that immigration from the • British Isles this year will not likely amount to much, and fence, farmers who have beenaccustomed to securine. iminigrant help are. now con - f on e•f with the necessity of securing iselt. Fran some other, source. There a a 1a. 3 e number' of idle men in Canada some .of whom have had ex- Aerie sole as farm laborers and others qut.. :inexperienced. This is the only source of supply for the present year A.s farmers everywhere are mak:frog a strong effort to =ncrease Praia. o. i,n view of war prices and the des•rability of Canada raising as much 'as possible to meet the needs of the Empire in this crisis I think it likely that farin help will be scarce. before long and therefore farmers should ta'he iansnediate advantage--`o2- the present sittuation to secure ''heln• before the rush begins and scardity of labor is felt. If your ora in. need ;of hefts leave your order with, C.; ;l The ";fuzzy -headed girls" learning too dance,. the "11ttle woman" who gave a bit card party to keep in society, and the "red faced fellow" who, vis- ited Landon and '`might" have brought home few jugs, came, in forspecial l m ntial;'in last Sunday evening's ser - men in James Street church.

G. Gibbons was before ,Magistrate W D. Sanders 4n the Town Hall on Thursday nornipg al -1J the case dismissed as to the. charge of fraud in the automobile deal. made last summer. Gibbons, however, squared the financial metters between himself and K'ellesmann by paying the latter, or securing hien, in something over $700. The trouble as stated last week arose over an, exchange of Ford and McLaughlin cars, the latter hay- irox, a lien against it, and a money "hoot' in the shape of a note from Kellermaein for $300. In a couple of mouths McLaughlin's took the auto from Kellerntann, who then proceeded aga;nst Gibbons to recover his finan- cial loss. The rnagistrate held that the main fault in Gibbons was that he had bitten; •off more than he could comfortably chew in these had 'times but that no fraud was intended. FARMERS' INSTITUTE—The Fare' ers' Institute meeting held in the Toter: Ball on Monday evening was fairly well attended and. the topics dis cussed proved of great interest. Ow- ing to illness l.Iir.
