It hag been going on that way for a long time, Even on, the Tenth concession a goc-d many years ago. At the church on the corner of the Ten:tlh and the Broken: Front Road there was a band of ladies but they were called' the Wilting Workers and they expected every pe:ehn in the congregation to feel the same about it when came the t' --+e for the annual strawberry fes- tival. Not even the men were ex- cept, and it came at a season when the driest old crust in the church couldn't think up an excuse to get out of it, Beving had not started, and it was hardly time for thinning the turnips, and; they couldn,tt claim it was time to fix the binder. What they wamter, the men for was getting things ready, and it was the one time in the year when the weeds and grass. around the church yard got well attended to.

The Cities Service Power Prover, developed by Cities Service research engineers after years of study, is the fastest, most accurate method known of showing the car owner the exact efficiency of his automobile engine, More Power You get into your car, step on the starter, shift the gear and start to move. What a difference) You start quicker, pick up faster, your engine once more has new -car pep ,and power—qualities that you thought were gone forever. The engine Is quieter, smoother. The .toughest hills level off as you take them in high, On the straightaway you have a feeling of confidence that the surging power under the hood is at your command and can be instantly delivered when you most want to use It. Real Economy With Power Prover Service, Cities Service •gives you an in- crease of from 10 to 15% In milesper gallon. This is made possifle through the use of C;ires Service petroleum products and Power Prover Service, After a car is (Power iProved, gasoline consumption is reduced—you'll acutally save one or more gallons out of every ten—motoroll consumption Is also reduced, lunrlcation is Improved and so Is compression. Extra Safety A Power Proved car Is a safer vehicle to drive or own. Every year motor oars kill 30,000 people and injure another million. Many of these accidents are due to carbon monoxide. While driving, have you ever telt sleepy, had a headache or become car- sick, These are all symptoms of poisoning by deadly carbon monoxide gas, of which even small quantitles may prove fatal. The Power Prover operator carefully checks the entire exhaust system to make :surd that no exhaust gases can penetrate into the car and affect its driver or occupants. Citigs Servicers fight on carbon monoxide has been endorsed by medical, police, insurance and public health officials. Ideal Garaije&Srvice Station N. S.

Earlier in the season one could now and then when standing up to sing the hymns look .out the whistow and see the berdocdf;s In the lane which went around to the dpiveslted at Ole back but there was 00 such dis- grace when the srtranvberry festival' Wats on. It took scythes and staid - es and rakes mostly to clean up the place because the tables were set out in the back in the space be swoon the church and the drive Shed, and if it rained thea every- thing could be picked up and moped into the shed. And on that ac- count the daive.ehed had to be made to look pretty respectable and on the Sunday before the festival nu person was supposed to hitch a horse in there. The people along the Tenth who grew strawberries provided them and there was no use trying to pass off anything except the best.

They might even make remarks about. it, About the only cash expense at the etnawberry festival was getting a few new candles now and then for the 'Chinese lanterns which were strung np in the yard.: In some strange 'ivory, the candles had a habit of disappearing about Hallowe'en time when the young folk would be cutting Paces in pumpkins and look- ing for something like a candle to place in the interior of the scooped out pumpkin. A few of the elders held that the Chinese lanterns were a pack of nonsense and in Indica- tion of worldly- thought creeping into the. serious business of the church but the Willing Workers were all tar them and that settled that. The finances of the church used to be governed pretty touch by the succeed. of •bhe strawberry festival in June and the fowl supper later on in the season. If the attendance bad been large then one knew for sure there would be considerable applause at :the annual meeting of the church when the treasurer re- ported tha tall expenses had been Paid' and there was a little balance left over.

If today we had to rely on the old-time cradle methods of cutting and garner- ing the crop, it would take every able-bodied man in every province of our Dominion to harvest the average wheat crop of Western Canada. Thanks, however, to modern farm machinery, with practically no seasonal increase in hired labor, the farmer is able to take care of even the heaviest of harvests. The making of the machines for harvesting is but a transference of labor from the field to the factory. Instead of the short seasonal engagement during the rush days of harvest, the implement worker is given longer periods of employment, and the days he spends in making farm equipment lessens the number of men required in the farm. field. Thus, these men, during the winter months, help make short work of garnering greater crops during the few and fleeting days of harvest season, and so many of the men thus engaged have themselves come from farm homes. It was only natural when turning their faces city -wards, that men from the farm should first seek employment with a company whose.name to them had been a household word. In Massey -Harris, whose origin ninety years ago was on a farm, these one- time farmers find a rather logical expression for their abilities in the mechanical side of farming—for while in forge or machine shop—they also farm.
