He read the lujmes of many of his former pup- ils and one minute of silence w,is observed in memory of those who have passed away. In a short ad- dress he stated that he had travelled in almost e^ery couatry of the world but had seen nothing to e<?ual the scenery of the Kimiberley valley. Mr. Pentland called on former teachers of the school for a few words, ^no&g them being Mrs. Mac- latt (Gertrude Chaser) (^ Vancou- ver, B.C., who brought greetings from British Columlna to Ontario: Mr. Chas. Stuart of Kingston, who told of beii^ principal of the school in 1905, when Elvie Bishop, daugh- ter of Mrs. Bishop and the late Wallace Bishop of Aurora, passed the High School Entrance with honors at the age oif nine, which was a record for the province. Others in the class were two ^irL aged 10, another 11 and another 12 years old: Mrs. S. S. BuiTitt told of being th« first assistant teacher in the school and had a picture nf the school taken in 1S88. Other teach- ers who spoke were Mrs. B. A.

Banks of town, had a narrow escape from serious injury, and poasibli; death, when he ran frcnn behind a soap adivertising truck and into the front of a car driven by Mr. Harry Patton. .As >S/r. Partton was approaching th" ti-uck he slowed up and when he saw the juwng lad coming, stopiped the car before contact was made, l)ut the boy hit the car and was thrown to the pavement. If be had been driving the ear faster the result might have been diflferent, as Jimimie waked away from the ac- cident, apparently none the worse. This advertising truck is a menace to young children, as they will run after the outfit trying to catch the bubbles as they emerged from the apparatus and float through the air. Mr. Patton is to be commended for watching the Jraific and having his ctr stopped so uickly. If more drivers did the same the fatal acci- dents to young children would be srreatly reduced. WEEDS -ARE PROUiFIC Wee<ls are one of the greatest problems in siK-cessful farniing, and varticularly in pr'ducing a morv' a- bundant supply of clean forage, grain and other seed. To get the best re- turns from the land and pn.)duoc a high class of clean seed, fai-n\ers hav^ to rt-ajie * ceaseles^s war keepinij weeds in check and preventing the spread of ne^v kinds. One of tho principle reasons why wveds are not bi»usht under wtter control is bo- c«use such large num^bers of we^>d seeds are put into the so\l throush lack of care in orttinary farm oper- ation^. Itivestigations have shown thai while many farmers are e-xtremelv careful in the selection and cleaninsi of the seed they use, they do not give this important step in farmin< the attention it rightly de»erv»"s. Clean seed is of vital im^torUnce be- cause some weeds arc so pr\>Ufic in seed production that relatively clean fielitei may become badly contaminat- e*l in two or three years if the weeds are allowed to go to seed. Good Crowds Attended The Markdale Centennial Perfect weather has greeted the Markdal-e Centennial celebrations this week, and the result has been SLOd crowds at all the events.

Many hund dreds of old boys and girls w?re present for the big event and many enjoyable meetings took pl-ic; be- tween old friends, which was the main thought behind the Cen''enn'.:.l celebration.
