THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT How ofte.t have we heard "It is. better to give titan to receive:" This saying- has passed down through the ages unchanged and to -day carries a aigni£icance greater than ever before, Christmas in all Christian coun- tries has .always been a time when great effort is put forth to make the children and those who are unfortun- ate'and in need, happy. This is truly a won,d.erful spirit and any organiza- tion that helps to carry out this idea .of goodwill deserves support. The Chamber of Commerce is .main this year holding its annual X.rnas Tree and the supplying of Xmas baskets. Your help is needed. this year as never before, so plan pow togive cheerfully and be as generous as you possibly can. * * x * THE ST.

At midday, 0 king, I saw on the way' a light from heaven, it was customary in that hot climate for travellers to rest in their tents '''at midday; bet Paul was so near Dam- ascus that in his zeal he pressed on. Above the brightness of the sun. E'en the fierce .Syrian sun at noon. Shining round about me and them. that journey with me. But the chief effect of the : overpowering light was evidently focused on the leader of the 'expedition And when we were all fallen to the earth. They lay flat in terror, hiding their, faces in the gruond, in fear of the great light: I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew 1anguaee, Paul used also Greek with readiness, and wrote in it, and doubt- less also he employed Latin. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? The question identifies the mysterious and terrifying Unknown with Jesus Christ, whom Paul was persecuting in the persons of his followers, and who would also have accepted the least kindness done to these folow- ers as done to himself; It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. For some time Paul's conscience had been repugnant to the awful work in which he was engaged, And I said, Who art thou, Lo The form of the question recogni at once the authority of the T,ei who had spoken: he was the Lo whatever else night be said of hi And the Lord said, I am Jes whom thou persecutest. Where” history is a sadder example of 13 man error? Let us ;take heed 1 we duplicate it by offending again one of Christ's little ones. But arise, and stand upon thy fe Arise! for the past is •not irreme able. For to this end have I apper ed unto thee. Here begins the apo tolic commission" To appoint th a minister and a witness both of t things wherein thou hast seen m Tlie personal experience throug which Paul was passing; and how o ten must he have introduced it int his sermons afterwards! And .of th things wherein I will apear unto the It is the business of every Christie to have such a full personal testi znQny to give.. Delivery thee from the people, Th 'believing Jews.

Paul henceforth becomes e great apostle to the Gentiles, and would be impossible to imagine a ore unlikely life for a . bigoted 'arisee, to whore the Jews alone re the people of God in receipt of vine revelation and favor, To open their eyes. They were in densest spiritual darkness, as al's eyes, blinded by the great ht, were at the time in deep physi- darkness. That they may turn m darkness to light. Even as Paul already turned from the darkness unbelief to a reception of the ht of the world,' And from the ver of Satan unto God. The real - of Satan and' his warfare against d is taught us' throughout the Bi - That they' may receive realis- t of sins. Not freedom from all in's consequences, but removal of eternal penalties of sin, and from love of sin and its dominion, And inheritance among them that are ctified by faith in me, We are nsferred from the devil's kingdom he kingdom of God. herefore, 0 Ting Agrippa, I was disobedient unto the heavenly on.

News and Information For the Busy Farmer Guelph Winter Fair On December 6, 7 and 8, the On- tario Provincial' Winter Fair at Guelph will celebrate its 50th' ,nni versary with what promises to be one of the most successful show's 1t' its history. Special provincial is being made for a new judging ring sothat the public may better view the ex- hibits this year than in any previous year. For half a century the Guelph Winter Fair has been giving a valu- able lead to the live stock industry and agriculture itt general, A record entry is assured and there should be. a large attendance by farmers front counties within driving distance. Grading is Desirable The current issue of the Econom- ic Annalist, official organ of the fed- eral Agricultural Economics Branch, is the source of the following state- ment: "The establishment and mainten- ance of grades is particularly desir- able itt the case of co-operative tear. facing. The grower of a good nont- tiiodity should receive a pretniutn for the extra Bare and efficiency involv- Thurs., November 24,. 1932 ed in producing a superior product. Canadian farmers or business men handling farm products who are looking for new markets must bear itt mind that their products will meet competition' front other areas and perchance other : countries. It will pay to study trade requirements and competitive practices and to build > a sales policy around a product sold on the basis of standardized grades." Grass Seed Propects The' Preliminary report on clover and grass seed production for 1932 issued by the Dominion Seed Branch summarizes prospects for the current year as follows: "Clovers and alfalfa promise a much smaller total yield of seed in Canada than last year, while more timothy and blue grass are int pros- pect, Alfalfa prospects are poor, as' the first cut failed to set seed in On- tario, and a short crop of alfalfa seed is expected in Southern Alberta. Alsike is much reduced in acreage in Ontario and is yielding under aver- age. "A considerably reduced acreage of sweet clover for seed is reported in. the Western provinces, also in On- tario. Brome and western rye grass in the western provinces promise much more seed than last year ow- ing to more moisture dafring the growing season. The acreage of bent grass for seed in Prince Edward Is- land is reported at about 25 per cent. less than last year.", Sweet Potatoes A crop of 3,500 . bushels of fine quality sweet potatoes was grown on a farm of 62 acres near Delhi in Norfolk County this season by Dr, Fitzsimmons, a native of the district who had resided for some years. in New Jersey, and who was struck by the similarity of the soil in the sweet--potato-growing areas of that State to that of. Norfolk. The excel- lent . tubers produced by hint this summer have attracted widespread interest and the producer had more orders ham he could fill. His farm is in the heart of the tobacco district and it is quite likely that other far- ! mers will be tempted to turn from tobacco to sweet potatoes next year. The tobacco drying kilns can be us- ed for dehydrating the tubers. Current Crop Report Reports from agricultural repre- sentatives reveal much dissatisfaction among farmers due to low prices of live stock and produce being offered. Eggs are the one bright spot in the farm returns at present, but egg sup- plies are very limited. Fall wheat looks promising in most districts. Live stock are in good condition and. the majority are now stabled. Mid- dlesex reports that harvesting of tur, nips and sugar beets was seriously delayed by wet weather. Sugar beets have been yielding up to 20 tons per acre in that county, • though sugar content ,is frequently as low 'as 14 per "cent. Lincoln and other coun- ties reported that heavy and contin- ued rains made it possible to plow soils which were almost too hard to turn over previously, Froth Port Ar - "I'll tell theme. not to come" Low evening rates on Station -to -Sta- tion Calls begin at 7.00 p.m. Still lower night rates at 8.30 p.m. The Gordons had looked forward to this evening for weeks; their Dunvale cousins were to motor over for an oldtim.e• reunion.

The Canadian Bacon Quota The quota of 2,500,000 cwt. of ba- cons and hams assigned to Canada by the United. Kingdom is not, of itself, of any particular importance. At the present time and f'or all time past Canada has had unresticted en- trance into the British market. She has now been set a definite quota that she may export but that quan- tity is so large that it will be a mat- ter of a number of years before the figures of 2,500,000' cwt. (280,000,000 lbs.), have any specific meaning. The importance of Canada's bacon quota is that it is part of the plan, the main feature of which is the an- nounced policy of the United King- dom to restore a reasonable stability in the British market for meat pro- ducts, by means of the limitation of the importations of all classes of meats of which bacon arid. ham is one. The details of the working out of the plan of limitation devolves upon Great Britain; it has been adopted by her as the means of aiding first her home farmers, and second, the farmers of the Dominion. It is from this standpoint, and in view of the general policy laid down, that Canada's bacon quota is import- ant to the farmers of Ontario When I bought this dog you said he was excellent for rats, and he won't touch one. Well, what's better for rats than that?
