Whenvthe directors of Barrie Ag-9 riqultural Society are seeking point-_ iers for 1923, fair, they might make. `some enquiries regarding Renfrew's' `methods. In that town, which is not nearly so advantageously situated sfor fair purposes as is Barrie, the fair hadadmission fees of. $5303.05, . last year. and a total income of $11,- ' 3i224a.71.__&The expenditure: of $1276.- ` 5.75 for printing and advertising no ' F doubtvplayed a big part in attracting 1 `the crowds. . I, l A general canvass of the town is` ,about to be undertaken on behalf of. -`the local _branch of the Victorian Or- jder of Nurses, which is to give Bar-I `rie much the same service as was ren- dered by the community nurse. Mem-I k bership has been xed at one dollar; I t v D D D I D D D D and it is hoped to enroll at least 500 ` men , and_women in this organization. ;7 The money will be spent in child wel- fare work and in other ways that will" `be of great benet to the community. J ' There seems to be a disposition on * the part of `some members of the;5 County Council to refuse payment of [3 the second half of the $10,000 voted 31 last year to the Muskoka Hospital H for Consumptives. Whether or not,'t the grant should have been made is f a debatable question, but when theil County of Simcoe was pledged to' give the amount the honorable thing" to dois to full the promise. g ( There is probably a large measure of truth in thecstatement of Hon.` Duncan Marshall, Canada s agricul-' tural commissioner, that large farms are a detriment to Canada's progress. His proposal that teach farmer should be limited to 160 acres still leaves a, large margin between it and the three acres and a cow advocated by Glad- stone once on a_ time as a means of subsistence. I . ' | The Listowel Banner is boosting; 6 for the general7 adoption of a cash policy because it is impressed with! the unfairness of the present policy which has ruined many a business, badlyecrippledi others and makes it! difficult for the home merchant to! compete with the mail order houses] which do business for cash only. I An excellent suggestion is made byi !the Orillia Packet when it recom- mends that the institution at Beeton! ashould be re-named The Old Peo_-W lple's Home instead of"`The House `of Refuge. '. Canada has 516,307 automobiles,` of which 238,600 are in Ontario. It is easy to see why there is such a` need and demand for increased ex- penditures on highways. Brantford is doing even worse with its civic fuel pile than Barrie did with 3 its wood deal. Up to date Braritfo1`d lhas lost over $30,000 on its `Welsh :coal. 5 ~ promotes A cheerfulness. good com- us: vvvnn an LIL vllwll lIVuDCIlUluDn The non-initiated may wonderrat the attraction curling holds for so many.

In the cit- ies, quite a number of women, too, are taking up thebroom on theiice as well as in their households. 11'. - -- --- _'_.2L__L_ .1 _- v 'FIll\lll van: Dyawlnucu vvallviil uyuauu Of all games there is none Amore generally regarded as Scottish. Curl- ing is of ancient gorigin. Research has shown little lightupon the exact place of its birth, though everything n points to a Flemish origin. It is be- ` lieved to have been introduced into F I P D P I 7 n I n Scotland in the sixteenth century. There it has ourished abundantly; so much so that it is regarded as the great national game of Auld Scotia._ Even in thiscountry today a curler is expected to be able to use glibly many of the Scottish expressions ap- pertaining to the game. Originally the game was played outdoors upon the lochs with blocks of wood or iron stanes, which in due time gave place . to the granite rocks. The fourth annual bonspiel `of the Barrie curling clubs has served to focus the attention of many citizens -upon this splendid winter sport. a D4? 13'` nrninna 4-`union `E wanna unan-A '1?

There is some question as _ .to whether the minimum is sufficient to entitle two to vote on it or not. , However, the clerks will do well to ,lput both on and thus be on the safe ,' side. i ,= There are some peculiar provi- ; sions which will have to be worked out. For example, an owner in a township may have a property as- sessed at $100, which he may have `rented. According to the Act the `owner and wife _as well as tenant and wife would be entitled `to go on the list for this property--four votes on a property valued at $100.

Andrew Bonar Law, as a Canadian born, is entitled to a place in our 1!National Who's Who. Born in 1853 _ in New -Brunswick, the son of a Pres- ; byterian minister,- he received the basis of his education in his native province, and later, in Glasgow,_ ,_uwhere,he became a successful iron Hnierchant. His first entry into the , politicalworld was as a lieutenant ,:of Joseph Chamberlain, in his tariff ]reform campaign. I`. ,ileader in the`House of Commons, ;iwh_ere he stood out for a party truce, later joining the Coalition Cabinet las Chancellor of the Exchequer. That , involved the handling of the enor- _ mous war budgets. He also acted as .lGovernment leader in the House. ; Depending upon the force of logic _ rather than oratory, and the value i of steady persistence, he has won for himself a high place among the par- liamentary and Empire leaders. Bonar Law rendered further valu- `able service at the Peace and other Conferences,` retiring from active participation in public affairs in 1921 owing to failing health. On the re- Vsignation of Lloyd George, on Oct. [19, 1922, Bonar Law was called upon` ito form a cabinet under the Conser- ivative Government, and has thus en- itered upon a new phase of activity - and started a new chapter in his var- tied life. i i I At the outbreakl of the-recent war, he was opposition! 1 I OUR CANAD_l.;_l:J--l- :lll WHO S WHO ll 11:. l\r\rL7n Business men have learned that it pays to spend money in advertising because that, in the long run, is the most effective and least expensive wnv fn `coll mantis" A . - . v u u w - -vvvnvu all way to `sell goods`. luv Iuavvvlxo Lv payn, |aUUo You have often wondered what. some of `the big ads. cost in then1ag- azines.
