CHISTMAS -May your Christmas Joy he as brigbt as the berries on the holy W r e a t h -and your Christmas Memories like the Christmas Tree - Ever green 1 " This is a question that has troubled a good many people, especially the farmers. For years different prominent men have studied the question with varying results. Some give one reason and some another but so far non e have succeeded in overcoming the difficulty. How many times have you heard the farmer say he cannot get his seeding done till it is almost too late because he could not get a man? He has ,arman one summer and lets him go it he fall because he has not e ough \yrsk to keep him busy all winte , th as the same trouble next sprin his is to a great extent the farmer's own fault. You:ask why? The answer is because he can get enough work to keep his man busy all winter, but does not do it. Now, you want to know how. The answer is by keeping cows. The next trouble to face is the churning. Well, you do not need to churn. Send your cream to the Wing - ham Creamery. Itis running all winter and needs your help. We are not get- ting enough this winter and did not ex- pect a great deal but we will expect more next. Do not disappoint us. Now is the time to get your cows for next win- ter. But do not wait till then, give us what you have now and help along the good work of helping the farmer. Write or phone us if yon would care to send and we will make arrangements to col- tect your cream. By the way, what's so suit- able for Christmis Gifts as good Footwear?
