said that we were all guilty for its apparent downfall because while some have exploited others have acquesced he pictured a rather sordid position of the system to day tracing it from the first set up of the gold system he de scribed the money system as a demagogue instead of it serv ing us it had become an unholy instrument in our hands he said as he traced its history from one of reasonable competi tion to one of monopoly con trol which followed finally he admitted it was a problem of distribution and control and he didnt indicate that it could be controlled the address was a most

visit to town recalls an incident still fresh in the minds of george collard frank rae and possibly others way back when the old mill pond stood on the north side of main street north of the post office the boys planned a big 24th of may demonstration one of the features was a man walking across the pond on a tight rope the performer was none other than ed obrien who was determined to put on a show for the benefit of the on lookers grasping a heavy bal ancing poll he walked the rope without the dreaded mishap of a dip in the pond so early in the season a colored chap who worked in town attempted to do the same thing and was equal to the task for he reached the centre of the stream all right but some of the lads bent on de viltry shook the rope and flop went shady into the stream it was a mean trick but was all in the days fun the memory of which will last a life time baptists 72 years the little white church which opened its services 72 years ago up on baker hill 8th concession

years ago said abner baker to the tribune he considered the dirth of prayer and the lack of family worship more serious than lack of church attendance where we are drifting mr baker did not care to comment on other than to say there must be a change if we are to save the nation at the time baker hill church was under consideration there were many baptists in the dis trict all attending the
