Farmers’ Institute Meeting Postponed After consulting with a. number of Institute speakers as well as local om- cers in different parts of the Province, the Superintendent has decided not to hold any Institute meetings until January 3lst. It was the unanimous Opinion of both delegates and officers (and a great many were consulted) that a political campaign would inter- fere very much with the attendance at and the success of Institu meet- ings. No announcements of mwtings had been made for January, although all lists had been about completed. A rearrangement of the lists has been made, and the same submitted to the secretaries of the various ridings. The revised dates will be announced in plenty of time to allow local secre- taries to do the necessary advertising before the date of the first meetings. The regular number of meetings for each riding will be held in all the older sections of the Province, but in the northern districts (St. Joseph’s Island, East and West Manitoulin, Algoma, Nipissing, Parry Sound and Muskoka) arrangements will be made to hold meetings in June or July or the fall months. A pleasant surprise took place at tln- {lentim-k Baptist parsonage on the evening of January 5th, when a gnml number of young people. czune with their baskets, from Glenelg, and took possession. After spending some time in music and games, and social intercrmrse, the gathering was called to order, Mr. W. G. Baker, of \Vaud- by, was appointed chairman. After-a recitation by Miss Miin'ton, and a piece of music, the following address was read by Miss Flora McArthur, when Mrs. John Ellison presented Mrs. Pineo with a. beautiful morocco purse, containing $20.25. After the presentation, all retired to the dining room, where the table was elaborately spread, with the good the baskets contained. All got up from the table feeling in a better condition for the long 12 mile drive ahead of them. An enjoyable evening was spent by all. ADDRESS. DEAR Mas. PINEo,â€"\Ve have gath- ered here this evening to spend a few hours with you, in your home, and, also, for the purpose of thanking you for your services as organist, for the past two years. We know we cannot repay you as we would like to, but we ask you to accept this purse, not for its value, but that you may always reâ€" member your Glenelg friends.

The Xmas Tree entertainment, held in Varney on Monday, Dec. 26th., was eminently successful, both from a pe- cuniary, and intellectual standpoint. The church was beautifully decorated with mottoes and evergreens, the two large Xmas trees, loaded with pres- ents, lending much to the artistic ef- fort. Notwithstanding the packed house, perfect order was maintained throughout the evening. The long People We Know programme was nearly all prepared by the Sunday School ehildren, whose every selection showed great ability, and was pleasing to the audience, whieh reflects mueh credit on our en- ergetic Varmey sehool tmu'her, Miss lilzu'klmrn, who prepared them for Lll('()(‘(f.:tsl()ll. A fow pieces deserve speeial mention, though all deserve great praise. The children’s part commenced with a short address of Welcome by Percy Aldred; one highly applw-ialml duet was the “Crooked Bawbee,” given by Archie Grey and Ethel Pettigrew. \Vinnie Blythe and Mamie Mountain gave a heartily en- cored song, “Alabama Coon.” and A. Gray’s song, “My old New Hampshire Home,” will not be soon forgotten by those who heard them. The distribution of presents to the children, likewise a handsome fountain pen. from the school children to Miss Blackburn, concluded the programme After singing the National Anthem, and prayer by Rev. Mr. Masson, who ably filled the chair, all went home, expressing a desire to be present at the next Varney Xmas Tree. Proceeds of the evening, $27.-â€"Com. SERVANT girl winced. Apply once.â€"Mrs. W.

ROEDDING, Susy-Treasurer. Good Morning Mr. Mills You are a. Director of the Farmers’ Manufac. turing and Supply Go How are you getting along with it? The Fighting Editor of this Paper had a Talk with Mr. Mills and got Some Informatien about The Farmers’ Manufacturing and Supply Company Mr. M. We are getting along bet- ter than we expected. The shares are going fast and as soon as the farmers understand thoroughly the the condition they will all be anxlous to become shareholders. Ipresume, Mr. Mills, as I am a shareholder you will have no objec tion to telling What. arrangements you have made about supplying goods to shareholders. Mr. M. None whatever. We are only too pleased to give any share- holder all the information we possi- bly can. We have nothing to hide. On all goods we manufacture we add a small margin to the cost for share- holders, and on any we buy we also add enough (.0 cover expenses and a small margin for dividends. "Certainly.” said Mr. Mills, " We must arrange that a small profit is made on every sale to a shareholder so that. all shareholders benefit there- 5y. You know everyone will not buy a Separator, so we could not. al- low all the profit on any one article to go to the purchaser. The same applies to windmills and everything we sell " So you intend to pay Dividends we ventured to remark. Inotice you are to take over the works of the Durham Manufacturing Company which now manufactures the celebrated Oxford Cream Separa- tor. Can you now supply the Separ- tors at reduced prices to share-hold- ers ? “Yes” said Mr. Mills, “We have made arrangements for that and can now give prices to shareholders that will surprise them.” “Do you intend to manufacture anything besides Cream Separators?” we next asked. “Oh. Yes.! We intend to build windmills. pumps. tanks. wheelbar- rows and a full line of light machin- ery” answered Mr. Mills. "Yes. We intend to build in the spring and make extensive additions to the present plant” “So you intend to enlarge” we ven‘ tured to remark. How do you sell to shareholders at such reduced prices and still pay dividends on the shares? "That is easily explained” said Mr. Mills. "The saving to the sharehold- ers is money the Manfacturer never receives but adds to the price to cov- er the cost of selling. We bring the manufacturer and the consumer clos- er together and save this to the far- more.” “Do you know of any other com- panies doing business successfully on the some buis?, we next ssked. "Yes.” said Mr. Mills, "There are several in existence in Canada and the United States, all successful, and in England the amount of business done in 1903 amounted to Four-hun- dred million dollars, paying profits of Fifty million dollars, or 12} Z on the investment. me. Would you object to “me pub- lishing this interview? Well, Mr. Mills. I am glad to have met you this morning. You certanly have made the business very clear to "Certsgnly not, I shell be pleased have you do so, as there is nothing in the business to be concealed from the shareholders.” A LOCAL DIALOGUE.
