ing her long awaited trip to see the ice show the toronto store on re ceipt of the letter at once got in touch with our markham lady but before she had found out the where abouts of the pastoboards

sav ing time under any circumstances and when it is in effect in the winter they like it still less at a meeting of the ontario milk producers league recently in toronto a resolution was adopted urging that farmers diffi culties in this connection be brought to the attention of municipal and other governments but the rider ad ded that if daylight saving really is an effective wartime measure we will be glad to cooperate as far as possible in the summer time the farmer takes getting up early to get the milking done as a matter of course and rather likes it in the winter however when he has to get the job done alone before daylight arrives to save in order to get the milk off to toronto in time he finds it a hardship mrs euphemia guy the last of the family of the late john- and ann pool
