It is indeed fitting that we should pay homage to the plow, by means of which man all through the years has been able to gain a living from nature. ~ It is impossible not to marvel at victories that the plow- share has won even in the County of York. How it has intermingled the leaf mould, the superstructure, to produce the cropbearing soil! How it has opened and drained the swampy places where the scrub cedars and alders grew! How it has scattered the interlacing masses of well rotted logs, wherein the partridges used to rustle, which the bears loved to burrow after fat grubs! How it has turned the wooded wilderness into fat farms, feeding hundreds of cat- tle to every single one the forest used'to nourish! An am- azing miracle worker, that plowshare! Shall we ever improve upon the principle of the plow- share? For thousands of years we have had it. The face of the world has been changed wonderfully by it, but we using it, have worked no very great improvement upon it. We make it draw more easily, we multiply its furrows, we speed up its effect, but its principle remains unchangeable. Who was that benefactor of the human race who invented it? It is known that England got its mouldboard plough from Flanders or Hollond sometime before 1740, and for years after made what were known as Rotherdam plows, in Yorkshire for the whole kingdom. But the Old Country had plows before them, although not of that patternâ€"wood edged with metal. The Israelites had plows in Issac’s time when at Gerar that patriarch “reaped a hundred fold.” In Samuel’s day they had metal plowshares, for they had to go; “down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share and his coulter.” They certainly had them in the time of the major and minor prophets when there was mention made of beating swords into plowshares or vice-versa. The Romans twice called Cincinnatus, a farmer, from his plow to command their forces. Virgil and other agricultur- al writers often speak of the plow and share which perhaps went out of use when the Roman Empire went to pieces and the world went mad for a season. The Egyptians had de- cent plows, depend upon it, in the days before Tutankhamen lived and died, when Egypt was one of the world’s granarâ€" ies, the valley of the Euphrates its chief competitor. ‘ A Frenchman has been trying to persuade his countryâ€" men that he has invented an improved plowshare. But this is rather a novel sort of a cultivator, or “scuffler,” as we used to call it, which digs into and breaks up the subsoil. The only improvement in sight upon the share which overâ€" turns and softens the soil is the spade which does the same work, more thorougly, more laboriously, more expensively, and was superceded by the plow. They still use the spade Ha good deal on the farmlands in Germany and elsewhere. But we should make a sorry sort of a job of raising crops of wheat with the spade as the implement for preparing the soil. We dare not say that improvement upon the plow- share is impossible. That would be absurd in this age of discovery and invention. Nothing we have made yet is perfect beyond some possibility of improvement, just as the only “perfect man” in knowledge is the fool! Some means of hurrying and cheapening the hard toil of plowing will probably come and the task awaits some gen- ius to tell the people of the twentieth century some means of turning the sod, superior to that which Isaac employed, or Pharoh’s subjects used when the hungry world used to go down to Egypt to buy corn. Levity Of The Press The fact that there is no place like home is why so many people go away from it for a holiday.~â€"Border Cities Star. It takes years to get a good reputation, but in a political campaign it only takes a few minutes to get a bad oneâ€"Kitâ€" chener Record. \ One way to study language is to stop a man who is chasing his hat and ask for a matchâ€"Kitchener Rectn‘d.

It was farmer’s day at the exhibition which is just another way of saying that there were more automobiles than usual on the groundsâ€"Hamilton Spectator. What A Band Means To A Town When speaking about bands and town bands in par- ticular, we sometimes hear people say; “What good 1s a band to a town anyway?” No thinking person would make this remark, for a good band is certainly one of the most useful things a community can possess. As an advertiser it is unexcelled. Emerson says some- thing about the world making a beaten path. A good band makes all the roads leading to the town beaten paths. Even though the town’s other attractions be not enor- mous. every merchant is benefited by a band. Many people come to a town to attend the entertainments. and they comâ€" bine shopping with pleasure. The promoters of business and musical enterprises al- ways have the satisfaction of knowing that their civic dem- onstrations from time to time will be successful. if they have a first class band to lead the parade and attract the A band composed of able players is a tower of strength in any town or section of country. It cultivates the public ear to a higher class of music. and does it right at your door too. Every enterprising citizen should boost for the town band. “The melancholy days" are here. Don‘t believe it. It was a mournful moment that inspired genius to paint a somber canvas of nature's most glorious garb. “Frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock." The arbors â€"________________":____â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"Wâ€"â€"â€"'.. m hang heavy with grapes and the apple trees glow at sun- down dull red with fruit. Every hill is radiant with flam- ing reds and yellows and subtler tones that reveal the frost king’s art. The last days of October will soon be here and with them come the strange visitors, witches, ghosts and so onâ€" or at least it brings the fun of looking for them in our Hal- lowe’en celebration. Many of our readers will recall the gusto with which Hallowe’cn was celebrated in this district in the early days, when mischievous youngsters and others indulged in pranks at the expense of their more prosaic neighbors. However. much of the exuberance of Hallowe’en festivities has passed away and beyond some comparatively mild pranks by the youngsters, the anniversary has become a dead letter with many of us. The farm boy or girl, like their city cousin, sooner or later will reach the point where they will have to decide what shall be their life work. All cannot have what they like but it is most important that they should like what they have. Some people don’t know a good thing when they see it. Dislike may be the result of a silly prejudice. Many a boy has forfeited the heritage of a good farm, respect of his acquaintances and a comfortable living through the mere dislike of having mud on his boots or wearing work ' I clothes. Has he learned to farm? 1 I Has he had a fair start? 1 Does he like the job? and contentment that a man work which he has to do. ‘ Prize Winners at Vellore 1 Annual School Fair 1 (Continued from page 3) 12; 6, Gene Troyer, No. 13. l Candyâ€"1, Violet Jordan, No. 12; 2, Mildred Diceman, No. 9; 3, Jennie McNeil, No. 9; 4, Doris Allan, No. 18; 5, Dorothy Castator, No. 10; 6.

An effort was being made by some of names on the Voter’s lists, so that the municipality would not be entitl- ed to a deputy-reeve at the county council. To do this only 35 names needed to be removed. Of the 75 ap- peals, 55 were to be struck off and 20 ' added. The judge allowed thirty-one to be struck off, while those interest- ‘ed in adding more names to the list succeeded in adding nine. This left :the township with 1007 names on the ,list of those who go up for jury ‘list, or just seven more than the min- imum number, required to entitle the township to a deputy-reeve.
