Room 5, Bank of Montreal Chbs., Stratford PHONE 412w | i | | Buy A Rooster Instead Of An Alarm Clock A Stratford Bird Got Four "Chicks" Up Every Morning at the Break of Day "Barly to bed and early to rise makes men healthy, wealthy and wise." The above lines were taught and observed by nearly every child. but what adult in the present day practic- es their teaching. There are of course exceptions to every rule and The Mirror just heard of an excep- tion to this one. Four of the brightest little "chicks"' that anyone would want to see left the city the other day proved to them- selves the truth of the maxim as far as the early rising and the getting of wisdom is concerned. Every morning these chicks jumped from their roost very soon after day break. They were told it was day break by the crowing of a rooster within their hearing. These were in- telligent chicks for their years, In fact they had learned much for their age. Here you might just as well be told that they were Normal students, and everyone of them passed their exam- inations because they got up early. In fact they were compelled to either set up or keep awake for never did the rooster forget to crow; and there's a little moral that many old roosters might learn "that these young students would not have known ee we NEW CONFECTIONERY Home - Made Baking Fresh Cakes, Pies and Pastry Ice Cream and Soft Drinks HAMILTON'S HOME - MADE BAKERY 114 Downie St, ! Special Orders Phone 738] bee { | owner that upon returning home they there was a rooster around if it had not done some crowing." But these students might have spoiled their days by getting out of patience with the call boy, or mov- ing from their boarding house, but they did neither of these things, In- stead of being displeased at the own- er of the rooster or the rooster they were so thankful to this bird and its acknowledged the value of the roost- er's crowing. "Had is not been for this sturdy bird who called us every morning we might not have been successful in our examinations,' was the contents of a letter sent to ithe rooster owner. A rooster might be a better thing to buy than an alarm clock, for occa- sionally you forget to set the alarm or wind the clock. But a rooster does not even set or have to be set. No the "setting" is left to the hen.

Dunseith had ali the experiences that go with a motor trip in coming a distance of 1,700 miles from Clearwater, Florida, to Stratford. "The experience of motor- ing on a mountain gives one a wonder- ful feeling," said the Rev. Dunseith. Well, no matter how he came, he is welcomed back to his old town not cnly by his relatives but his host of friends. He will have charge of the Services of St. Andrew's and Knox churches during the last two Sundays in August. He is accompanied by Mrs. Dunseith and their two daugh- ters, Misses Madeline and Jane Hun- ter Dunseith. Cc. N. R. Vote The employees of the Stratford C. IN. R. shops wil not vote on the ques- tion of staff reduction until the end of the week, according to an an- nouncement made here today. The result of the vote will not be an- hounced here, but a_ general an- nouncement will be made about July 24, from Montreal, covering the whole eystem. Oil Production E. Frederick. 30 Chestnut street, Mining engineer, who has given close study to oil. salt, silver and ore min- ing, declares that enough oil can be found in Canada within a period of two years to make this country in- dependent of United States for this product. He ventures the opinion that there is plenty of oil on farms in the immediate vicinity of Stratford Mr. Frederick recently visited the Dutton field with L. G. Fields, presi- dent of the Canadian Oil Fields, and witnessed the drilling on a second well there. Mr. Nelson Pequegnat has just returned from a week's holiday. He motored from Stratford to Tor- onto and took the boat from Toron- | to to Brockville, on to the town of Perth. There he spent a few days with H. S. Robertson, and both Mr. Robertson and Mr. Pequegnat mo- tored to Stratford. Mr. Pequegnat was very much impressed with the natural scenery of Kastern Ontario and visited the burial place of the victim of the last duel which was fought in Canada, Ald. William Rea of Edmonton. Al- berta, who is the guest of his sister, Mrs, A. R. Small. West Gore street, declares that the talk of secession re- ported in the West is very much over- rated. Only a few radicals, with no influence, were advocating it, he said. There was, however, a general desire fcr lower freight rates, Indications are that there will be a large crop in 1924, and if such is the case the country will be wonderfullly ad- vanced, said the visitor, See New Hudson Coaches Balloon Tire Equipment ROY BROTHERS & CO.

Hamilton, of Win- nipeg, is spending a short time with her sister, Mrs. W. S. Webb, 99 Nile street. Mrs. Hamilton has not been in Stratford for seventeen years. Mr. Hamilton is a well known shoe manin the west who at one time worked in Fletcher Johnston's shoe store, and took to the shoe business like a fish takes to water. It might be of interest to cite how he started as a shoe clerk. He came into the store mentioned with his bride to be one Saturday afternoon when there wasa rush on. Mrs. Hamilton, was a prospective customer, and he so gracefully induced her to sit down aud let him try some shoes on and so artfully untied her old shoe and fitted a new one on that he got a position offered to him without making an application. So naturally we were pleased to learn that "Mac" is doing well, and that Mrs. Hamilton is very little older looking than when she lived here. Harold Gorvett and Mrs.Gorvett are visiting the former's parents on Cherry street. Harold is living in Windsor, but works in Detroit. DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS TROW Mrs. Thomas.
