NEXT® ATTENDANCEâ€"During this seaâ€" sonable cold snap, other attractions drag down the parade attendance very materially, and this is greatly to be deplored. One teaching of Scouting is that the foregoing of pleasure to carry out a duty is highâ€" y â€" commendedâ€"and Scouts who place their pleasure before â€" their Scouting are not good Scouts. If you must be late for parade, at least come; better be late than miss the parade altogether;and better~be:late at a skating party than skip parade to be on time.

As it is now, we can‘t prepare for what is coming, the expense is too great and yet the the market must _ be extended. ”’When does the purchase power drop?" he said, "When the big crop comes on every dealer is deluged with applications the very time the market is contracting. If a dealer could get notice that a large amount of fruit was coming along in time to. get his price down a little and not be undersold, he could launch out and increase his turnover. A Coâ€" operative Company can help this sitâ€" uation in three ways: (1) By a large system of advertising, it can extend the market. (2) It can do missionary work with the dealer, so as to get him to extend his purchasâ€" es and sales. A proper distribution of fruit and large extension of the market is what is aimed at by the new company. Whatever price is realized on various markets, the price to each individual grower, who has standard fruit, will be the same, as prices are to be pooled. "We will be able to place fruit where the marâ€" ket can best take it." Col. Roberts urged the fruitgrowers to sign up before February 15th, so as to _give the committee a chance to make their plans in good time. He conâ€" cluded by saying. "In this comâ€" pany everything goes back to the grower less the cost of management, and you elect your own . directors. J. B. Bridgman and Col. Roberts anâ€" swered numerous questions regardâ€" ing the rules and regulations of the new coâ€"operative company.

As things are now, when there is a short crop of fruit we can dispose of the crop to good advantage, also the same is true of the fruit harvested in the early part of the season, but when there is a big crop the price goes 'right down and receipts are nil, or nearly so.

This finished the scoring for the evening as the Pill Pounders were unable to even the score up. Fisher in goal, for a firstâ€"year man between the nets played a wonâ€" derful game for the Pill boys and de serves great credit for hisâ€" work. "Pud" Reid of Beamsville officiatâ€" ed as referee and held the two teams down right tight. He seemed to catch everything in sight and let no one get away with anything. WINONA QUITS HOCKEY LEAGUE The third period went> scoreless and as the two teams were then tie overtime was necessary. |, the Pill mixers were. right onl their toes and played a hard clean game all through. One bad accident | happened in the middle ‘of the third period when "Jimmy" Farrell reâ€" ceived a blow between the eyes, from the point of Reise‘s stick. Reise went to shoot just as "Jimmy" checked lhim and as the two stickh came toâ€" gether Reise‘s stick slid up Farrell‘s and the blow landed right between the eyes at the top of the nose. Farâ€" rell was taken to the dressing room and attended to by Dr. Buck, who had him removed to his home. | All the Pill boys turned in a nice exhibition of hockey and every perâ€" son present witnessed a real, peppYy game of good clean battling. Five minutes after play started Bonham notched the first tally from a shot off the wing, to be followed four minutes later by VanDyke, who slammed one over the top of the net where it hit the boards and bounced back into the net from behind. Afâ€"| ter three more minutes of play Reise in a long rush scored for Winona.l In the second period "Old Man" Teeter jabbed one in past Lehman two minutes after play was started. The old boy made a pretty shot off the wing to do so. After thirteen minutes of play Reise in a spectacuâ€" lar rush up centre ice notched anâ€" other one for Winona, and two minâ€" utes later Cook scored again on a pass from Reise. ‘ The Winona boys were strengthenâ€" ed by the addition of Lehman of the Hamilton Beavers in goal and Eric Reise, of the Hamilton Harvesters on the defence and right here we want to say that Reise, is a â€" nice, clean speedy player who hands out bumps and receives â€"them with a smile on his mug all the time. The game was scheduled to start at eight o‘clock but did not get unâ€" der way until twenty minutes to nine on account of Cook, captain of the team being detained at the League Executive meeting.
