When load- ed full the C.N.R. will deliver this car in Rosetown, Sask., free of cost. People, from Egrnondville en• the east to Bayfield on the west are there- by invited to bring any good shipping produce they can spare to Brucefield station on the above date, such as potatoes, beans, turnip,, beets, car- rots, apples, pears, cracked wheat, oatmeal, fruit preserves, canned goods etc. Here is a chance for everyone to be a Good Samaritan, and the very admirable courage and everlasting faith of these, friends of ours in the West, is our warrant -.right here, to be just that. These people have their home there, in fact have everything there and their optimism, if :nothing else, keeps them, there in the hope that this eyc- le of drought will soon change and that it will soon be their turn to share their abundance: Let everybody "chip in" and bring so much produce to Brucefield next Tuesday, Oct. 26th, that there will not be room enough to receive it. Hope is a fine diet when freely mix- ed with hard work, prunes and cod- fish. THE HOME PAPER The Fanners' Market Wheat, $1„00. Oats, 45c. Butterfat, 32c, 300. Barley, 67o. Butterfat, 31c, 29c.

Wilford medicalmissionary ort furlough from Szechwan, West China, in Wesley- Willis esleyWillis United Church on Sunday morning. Dr' Wilford gave the back- ground of the past fifty years in the accumulating bitterness between Ja- pan and China. Owing to Japanese encroachments through which For- mosa and Manchuria have come un- der -der the rule of Japan, the Chinese feel they would rather die suddenly than by degrees, and are determined to fight to the finish. Dr. Wilford pointed out in reviewing the progress of Christian Missions in. China that there are now about' a million "Chris- tians, a mighty company. Yet as there are 400 million people in China the number is relatively small. The encouraging- feature, however, lies in the influence of those who. are Christians. About 40 percent of those who are in governmental control are now of the Christian faith. Dr. Wil- ford told of the medical work carried on by the church. The surgeons, doc- tors ` and nurses have wonderful op- portunities for teaching the gospel of Christ. All classes from the richest and most, influential to the poorest and most ignorant come under medi- cal care. The doctor told of operat- ing on the first lady of the land, the Wife of the Generalissimo. Dr. Wilford had previously, on Fri- day evening, shown moving pictures of life in China, including scenes in Shanghai before and after the recent bombings. As Dr, Wilford is a grari- iiate of the Clinton Collegiate Insti- tute and as ice recently served profes- sionally in Clinton during the vacation of Dr. W. A. Oakes, his visit as Medi- cal Missionary was pa'rticular•ly of interest. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. David T. Churchill announce the engagement of their daughter, Ruby, to Geo. R. Lavelle, of.
