DITCHESi CAR TO AVOID HITTING DEER IN ROAD Eric Cox, a commercial traveller of Wingham, narrowly escaped in- jury as the result of a deer on the road.

LONDLSBORO "The spirit the people of the West- ern Provinces "show is one that I marvel at," declared Mr. Eldriedge. "They are poor but so proud. That is exemplified in °a story which I might relate to you of how niy wife and -I were walking along the road in Arlbei5cta and became very thirsty. There was a home that was very little - more than• a hovel and we stopped to ask for a drink. A young girl answered our knock at the door and invited us in. She told me that the water was not fit to drink be- cause of the alkali,) and that she would make a cup of tea for us. The living room was sparsely furn- ished, with a few odd chairs and a sofa, and oddly enough a piano. A meal was papered that con- sisted of weak tea, bread without butter and a little :treat that she. had canned the, previous winter. The farmer, who was the girl's father, came in, a tired and dejected look- ing man, who told us that every- thing he had by way of a crop was a failure. I tried' to slip 50e under the plate but the girl caught me, and shaking her head said they were poor but only too glad to share their humble fare with anyone, and that they would rather we wouldn't leave the money. With a spirit like that, they are sure to succeed." Mr. Eldriedge says that in spite of everything they are surely con- vinced that the West will come back into its own. With this year's prom- ised good crop they are sure of get- ting back on their feet again. School Fair Dates Announc- ed for Huron County The Ontario.
