Service, her pastor, con- ducted the service and delivered a • most comforting message to the fam- ily. A duet by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Cairns "Does Jesus Care," was sweetly rendered.

Miss Macphail Does Not Favor The Party System The two-party system of govern- ment is a "most wasteful" method according to Agnes INIacphail, M.P. '•I believe the time will come when the Cabinet will be a body elected by the members of the HoUse," she told the Toronto branch of the Civic Liberties League recently. "They will share equally in blame or praise and the situation will not be as it is now, namely, when the government does something really fine, the op- position is in despair.*' She added: "When you think that the leader of the Opposition is paid a salary to oppose, it does seem tidiculous.'' â€" Walkerton Times. Seeing is believing but all men don't •use the same spectacles. Praises Farm Ciubs "One of the greatest agricultural activities in Canada is the Boys' and Girls' Farm Club Work, which moves steadily on with a record of unbroken achievement," stated Dr. G. S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister, Dominion Department of Agriculture, speaking at the dinner on the opening night at the Royal Winter Fair. "The Boys' and Girls' Farm Clubs represent an active membership of more than 37,- 000 throughout the Dominion," con- tinued Mr. Barton. "The membership has increased every year since the movement began about 25 years ago, chiefly because of the interest in the value of the work it means to the tioys and girls in every project they undertake. The definite results are to be seen in everj- agricultural fair in which they take part. A new in- terest and a new life has been given to fairs by these clubs. But there have been significant developments in other directions as a result of the work of the organization. For ex- ample, potato production in one area has been revolutionized; in another thousands of bushels of grain have been produced and in others the pro- duction of live stock has been raised to a higher plain. BRAXT NOMIXATIOXS LACKED CHEESE When Brant Township's Jong drawn-out nomination had finally concluded at Elmwood on Friday, November 25th, darkness had set in and with it a great thirst which fell upon many of the multitude who had gathered there to hear the flow of oratory but who had acquired very parched throats while listening in on the proceedings. Consequently when the chairman had dismissed the meeting there was one of the greatest rushes across the road to the Queen's Hotel that the Brant-Bentinck burg had witnessed in many a day. In fact so great was the throng that .sought to slake their thirst that it looked as though the meeting had merely adjourned from one building to another. As time wore on and with the supper hour now passed, sev- eral appetites of large-sized propor- tions were developed, and noticing one candidate for municipal honors loitemg over a friendly stein, some of the North Brant boys, most of them of the Roman Catholic faith, prevailed uiwn him to get some bis- cuits and cheese to ease the pangs of hunger which had set in. The nominee readily agreed and sent out an order for a real cargo of fodder, but somewhere someone got the sig- nals crossed and instead of returning with a Friday diet of cheese, the man returned with an armful of bo- logna which the other beverage room customers quickly seized and made away with in front of the longing eyes of the North Brant lads who almost wept as they watched their idea so quickly devoured 'by tlie others. â€" Chesley Enterprise. Placing Boys oo Farms There are a number of young men in Ontario eager to learn farming with a good farmer. There are a number of good farmers in this pro- vince who would welcome a good in- telligent and enthusiastic youth to their broad acres. The Ontario De- partment of Labor knows this to be true and has appointed A. MacLaren as Director of Farm Placement. Boys who would really like to go farming and farmers who would like to employ young men with a yen for farming should write Mr. MacLaren, Depart- ment of Labor, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. The boys are placed for one trial month and are paid by the farmer. If mutually satisfied, the boy signs up for one year with wages at the pre- vailing rate. Mr. MacLaren, who has already placed over 30 boys under the Dom- inion-Provincial Youth Training Plan, states that he selects only young men who are really interested in farming. He visits each applicant in his home and talks to his parents as well. Boys, if you are interested in stock raising, fruit, poultry or any branch of farming, write to A. MacLaren, Department of Labor, Parliament Buildings. Toronto. IT So far the dictators in Europe have used mostly hot air instead of hot lead in gaining their ends. One difference between the. old and the young is that to the young Christmas always seems slow in ar- riving each year. Christmas Gifts . .
