Dennis There are hanging in the post offi- ces two lists of those who can vote on the referendum question. Is your name ork that list? It is well that you stop a moment and look over the list. See the ward that you are in or the polling subdivision and then find your name. If it is not on the list and you are a resident make application at once. Appeal notices can be had at the post office. This is very import- ant. There will be the great question to be decided this October in reference to the liquor traffic. This is a meas- ure that affects the whole of our coug- try. Everyone should exercise their right and vote as they think. The wel- fare of Ontario depends upon the is- sue. During the present administra- tion there have been many homes made much more bright, our country has subscribed money that otherwise would not have been available, our banks have deposits that they never had before, our order during the great times and strikes has been such that it was never seen before under such trying conditions. The abolition of liquor was a good thing during war time. It is stille good think to main- tain prosperity and the solidity of our country. Then see that you are on the list, so that you will have the op- portunity of casting your vote as you think it' ought to be cast. In the middle school results just out the Weston school again stands very' high, when the whole of the Ontario marks are looked into. The results as tabulated show that those Who were successful over the whole province was' just. 66.2 per cent. of those who tried. The Weston school pupils show up well. Of those who tried the examina- tion 84.6 per cent. passed. With these figures before us as proof of the effi- ciency of our high school there should be a bigger attendance at this school this year. It is a great asset to this town and the whole district to have such a~school within their reach. As the High School facilities in the city are becoming very expensive' and over- crowded, this is the school that your children should support. Where you can get such a high record as this school has won in the recent examina-- tions there is efficiency in its teaching staff. We in Weston should realize that the money thus expended has not been thrown away. It is giving to our coming generation and making them more capable to meet the needs of the l day. These facts should be told to all those who are interested or have chil- dren ready for High School. We are the people to tell this. If you want a good High School training. then send your children to Weston High School. Sunday, August 31st, at 7 p.m., the I Floral Memorial Service under the di- rection of the Weston Horticultural Society will be held in the Town Park. Services will be withdrawn in the churches and all are invited to join together and by your presence pay tribute to the boys who have fought in the great struggle recently brought to a close. Colonel Wood, Senior Chaplain of Military District No. 2, Toronto, will be the speaker. Special music by West Toronto Band and singing by the United Choirs ot the town under the leadership of Mr. George Sainsbury. Memorial services have been held in the different churches on several occasions in honor of those who have paid the supreme sacrifice, and in the morning each church is holding a-service in honor of the departed and thanksgiving for ‘the return of so many of the loved ones. But this is the first time that all the people have met at one time and place, joining hearts and voices as one in prayer and thanksgiving to the Giver of all good, Whose promise has never failed during the darkest hours of the past five years. It is hoped ev- ery person will endeavor to attend these services.

James Steel, Giroux, Man., writes--") the Fordson drawing a 12 inch gang plow, I have plowed seven inches deep at six miles per hour. It made the finest work I ever saw.

I have plowed 50 acres with it and think it's a hummer." W. E. Turner, Duval, sask.L--'q have had splendid success with the Fordson.
