At 149 Cambria' street, on Thursday afternoon, Feb; 6th, the marriage took place of Elsie Margaret, youngest daughter of. Mr. and Mgrs. Robert S. Winter of Goderich, to Carl Clark Pinkney, eldest son of the late Joseph W. and Mrs. Pinkney, of Sgaforth. The ceremony' was conducted by' Rev. George Rowland. Mr. and Mrs. Pinkney have been visiting in town, going on Thursday to Goderich be- fore leaving on Friday for. Montreal where they will reside. The bride and groom are both well known in town, the bride having ofteh visited her grandmother, Mrs. Robert Winter in Seaforth. MAY CHANGE TIME. The GN!R. and C.P.R. have an- nounced according to a statement in the daily press, that they Will re- arrange their time tables this summer to observe daylight saving, which will be adopted by more places ' this year than inprevious years. The proposed ch n ge is to take e effe t May y, 4th. One of the most objectionable features -of daylight saving has been confusion caused by some places adopting it tfnd others remaining on standard time, and the day is pro'b- a'bly close at hand when "summer" time will be universal on this contin- ent, as it is in Europe. Daylight saving is essentially a city institution, but if it tends to remove the inconvenient weekly half -holidays in the country towns; it may also gain favor rurally. No official word has been received yet by Mr. Plant, local C.N.R. agent, of any change in time. MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT. On Tuesday. afternoon a man carte to this' office looking for a Port Ar- thur .or (Sault Ste. Marie newspaper. He and his pal had come from the former place, going from one town to another is search of work. They had visited practically all the North Shore towns, through Midland, Penetang, Owen Sound, down to Goderich and were going towards Stratford from here. There is no work to be hadany- where, not even ice -harvesting, he said, At one town along Georgian Bay, they had been told that there are 250 families dependent on the m•unici- palety for charity. He was about thirty-five years of age and -without even an overcoat, and seemed to have almost lost heart. They had been told to avoid the large pities as conditions are very bad, with no chance of etnployrnent. This man and his companion were typical of dozens of others who have drifted through Seaforth inrecent weeks, Many of whom have been glad of ,the police cells -for a place to sleep at night.

'There was a larg crowd: d. in attendance and w a great deal of interest manifested in the proceedings. 'A most interest- ing and entertaining programme.h'''as provided for the occasion,- After the preliminary proceedings were dispersed iwibh, Mr. Joseph For- rest, of Tuckersmith, delivered his lecture,"My Country." Mr. 'Forrest sppke of the wonderful potentialities of the Dominion, and pointed ou't'that 'Canada was capable of maintaining a population at 'least ten Mimes more than it has to -day. He touched' upon the im'porta'nce of the St. Lawrence Waterway' Scheme; and if carried out, would be, in his opinion, in the best interests of the country. Mr. Forrest 'discussed at some length the economic position of the farmers e s o f the Dominion', and pointed out that a prosperous agriculture al- ways resulted in: general prosperity to the people•in all other occupations and callin'gs.. He, closed his address with a refer- ence to the Wheat Pool and the valu- able 'service it is rendering to the far- tf far- mers a the Praire Provinces,and how the Pool has received. the ndor- sation of all the 'banking institutions in Canada as well as the approval :of all the leading ,'eta' es.men. in this country and in Great (Britain. ain. ,bfr. Forrest; wasver iven close attention g Y throughout his interesting and in- structive address. The subject, "Pork Production on the Farin' was introduced. by Mr: J. :M. Eckert, of McKillop, in the 'ab- sence of Mr B. Snell, of Hullett, who had been advertised to discuss this question. Mr. Eckert discussed the new government grading regulation at some length and stated. that in: his experience it costs more to -produce the Select Bacon type of hog than is paid for them by government regu- lation. At the conclusion of Mr. Eckert's address a general discussion on this important phase of live stock produc- tion was entered into by the audience and it seemed to be the general opinion that there is very little profit to the feeder .of hogs if the price is fess than $11.00 per hundred. Mr. N. R. Dorrance, of MeI{illop,. addressed the meeting on the subject, "The 'Farmer and His Occupation." At the outset, Mr. Dorrance pointed out the circumstances which caused most farmers to engage in their pre- sent occupation. The most of ,them, he asserted, were victims of circum- stances over which they had little or no control. It is a jab that t has been handed down to .them by a previous generation and they were compelled to accept the situation and make the hest of it, and while he regretted the fact that there is not enough remune- ration for the fanner for the labor ex- pended, he was of the opinion that they are in a better position,all along the line, than the farmers of any pre- vious generation In this country. Mr. Dorrance pointed to the vari- ous 'conveniences now available to the agricultural people of to -day that were undreamed of a quarter of a century ago. 'He laid particular stress on the value of organization and co-operation, and, predicted that the present farmers' organization in Ontario will accomplish much in years to come that will be of decided benefit to the agricultural people and the country as a whole. "It is a good time," Mr. Dorrance concluded, "to be e farmer in the province of On- tario. Mr. John -Malone, of Beechwood, was in attendance at this meeting and delivered his entertaining lecture, "Reminiscences ofBeechwood and Vicinity." The•s'pea•ker portrayed the early life of the Beechwood district to the delight of his audience: 'His anecdotes and stories of the ready Irish wit of the pioneers of that dis- trict were exceedingly interesting and amusing. Mr. Malone will be wel- comed back again at some future meeting of the organization, The programme was interspersed with short stories, humorous readings and songs by the social committee. , .The L:O.13.A. euchre at Mrs. F. Welsh's last week was a decided suc- cess. Eleven tables of, progressive euchre were filled and everybody en- joyed themselves , very inuch. The prize for the most games was worn by. Mrs. Milton Stewart and for most lone -hands, a s byMr. S.rpo'1m ae..A g daintyluri ch was- served by Mrs. Welsh assisted by Mrs, Wescott Jr,, Mrs. R. G. Parke and Miss Grace Pethick. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Rankin entertained, assisted by Mrs. Meakins, Mrs. N. Nichols and Mrs. W. Nichols.

An old and esteemed resident of Dungannon in the '.person of Miss Jennie McMath. passed away in the early hours of Sunday, February 2, at the home of her cousin, Mr Hugh Fienigan. The late Miss Meafa:th, who was 74 years of age, was a daugh- ter oof the late Mr. and Mrs, William McMath, pioneer settlers at Dungan- non, they having owned the farm on the southeast corner on which the village of Dungannon is now built. She had been a continuous and life- long resident of Dungannon -and until about three weeks ago dived alone i• her own home at the south end of the village. Becoming too 111 to re- main longer alone, she went to the home of her cousin, Mr. Hugh Finni- gan. where s•lie gradually grew weak- er until the end carne. Her only sur- viving sister, Mrs, Alice. Stobie, of Seaforth, was in attendance upon. her during her last hours. Her only sur- viving brother, Robert Jahn Mc'Math, of Detroit, was present for the fune- ral. She was predeceased by three' sistert, Mrs. Robert Kirk, Mrs. John amlin Goderich, and Mrs. Manners f of Wmgham• also two brothers, Mr Samuel McMath, of Dungannon, and Mr. Tames McMath of Clinton. She was of a quiet and retiring disposition' and, a faithful member of "Dungannon United Cthurch..'The funeral on Tues- day afternoon was attended by many old neighbors and friends. the service beingby conducted Rev.

Every salesman—I say ,salesman" in contrast to the mere order taker— every rein salesman knows that in order to secure that much -sought -for signature g are of the dotted line he must link up his proposition with the things the prospective customer de- ssires, Parents and teachers too often imagine that because we know in .a vague sort of way that education is valuable that we can take its value for granted. I su sPec t that we teach- ers would often accomplish more if we spent half our time in an effort to arouse in the pupils an apprecia- tion of what the masteryof the par- ticular subject will mean in the future in good food, 'good clothes ag good home rand good times. *, * * It is ;because the tec'hnical schools link..np more directly the subjects they teach with the occupations in which the pupils expect to earn a living that they often succeed with pupils who in the ordinary academic school appear to be hopelessly stupid. Refusal to pay attention to instruc- tion in which one sees no value is not an indication of stupidity. It may be an indication ofsuperi r intelligence. 'During the Christmas holidays I met a ,first form lad who had scored only 38 in his Latin examination, and was anxious to drop the subject as hopeless. After we had discussed the subject thoroughly, and he began to appreciate how much Latin we meet on every 'hand and its necessity to one in any profession, he changed his mond, His score on his Latin test the end of January was 70 per cent. He had ,been shown where Latin 'was go- ing to help him some day have the thing's, he desires. entation of two short operettas, "The Day before Yesterday," and of Histor :' Th whole The r Y program was well carried out and merited the hear- ty applause accorded each number. After all expenses are paid about $140 are left for the treasury. Many citizens know very little about the aims and work of Home and School Associations. A short account might be interesting to many. Except for a small annual fee to the council, all money raised here is used right in this vicinity, The monthly meetings are for teachers and par- ents (both father and mother)' to meet and arouse the community to a sense of responsibility to its most precious asset, the'clildren; to enable parents to understand the purposes and me- thods. of the school and to establish a common interest in education and wel- fare of home, school and community; to create better home life, better sup- port of teachers and to bring about better equipment. wider use of school plant and greater returns for money invested in education, The meetings are open to all visitors and an inter- esting and instructive program is pro- vided, Other activities are to see that no child is debarred from school through lack of books or clothes, to support the school trustees in progres- sive -measures, to encourage school nurses, good orchestras and to estab- lish libraries and in fact help along any and every work that will tend to the strengthening and betterment of both school and home life. —(Catherine Holmes, Sec. pro tens, I.O.O.F.

Louts was just bud- ding into manhood and would have been eighteen had he lived until June, His death was a great shock to the community, although he entered Clin- ton- Hospital for an operation, still every one bad thought he 'would coins through it. But it was found to be more serious than expected: and he passed away rva yon the eighth day, peri- tonitus setting in. "Buster" was of a loving and kind disposition and was highly respected by all who knew him. The funeral service was conduct- ed by the Rev. 'Mr, Johnston, assisted by Rev. Mr. Forster.
