Yn more than she imports, and each month sees the export business increase.So we may safely say that Canada in 1924 has made an important step forward in her policy.Where it will lead us to is not yet discernable.In many respects the war beggared the world of many of its old sources of raw materials.New fields had to be developed and many of them were found in Canada.Freight rates both by land and by sea have reached heights hitherto unknown and the tendency is now to manu! facture articles as close to the sources of raw supplies as pos-, sible.These conditions, coupled with the fact that electricity! is replacing coal, are altering the industrial life of the world and we must look with a wider outlook on our manufacturing policies.On the farms the year has not been a remarkably success-' fal one.Prices for farm produce are still low.The harvest, Nov.28th.: A.Rose killed near St.'taken at the door, which will cover season was unusually wet and in consequence the harvest vhlues were considerably reduced.Western wheat reports in| the early summer were not encouraging and at the beginning of August the prospect was discouraging.Suddenly a bull market developed in the wheat pit at Chicago, i | \u201crates new colleze at Beauharnois.Oct Stst: * Bishop Farthing visits Huntingdon, ; Oct.23rd.: Hebert brothers of Beau- harnois drowned in lake.Oct.25th.: Samuel Crutchfield of Huntingdon killed by savage bull Get.27th.: Mrs.Shaw organizes schools for Red Cross work.Noi.3rd.: Water supply of Hunt- ingdon condemned.Nov, 4th: F.E.Hutchins, retiring railway agent at Ormstown, hanquetted by fellow-citizens.Nov.Sth: Hemmingrord irmers hold plowing match, the only held this fall.Nov.6th.: Dr.Morrison, for mans years pastor of St.Paul's church, Ormstown, dies at Beauharnois.Daniel Gal peau killed by falling from scaffold at Baumert plant in Huntingdon.Nov.7th.: Announcement made that Ayrshire cow owned by Mr.W.C.Wylie, Howick, bas broken Canadian records for milk production.-.Nov.1Eth.: J.D; Walsh, Ormstown given ten year contract for lighting in Ormastown.Nov.13th.: Columbus Club, Hunt- ingdon, holds successful banquet.Nov.20.: Local Ayrshire men make a sweep at the Royal, \u2018toronto, and make many sales of stock.Nov.2ist: Announcement made that Ste.Martine has awarded contract for fire-fighting apparatus.Nov.22nd.: Dr.Henderson, former Methodist minister at Huntingdon, dics in Montreal.; | Nov.23rd.: Reynolds home at Maplegrove burned.| Nov, 28th.: Annual meeting held of Ormstown \u2018show with a large attend-! ance.Nov.27.: Howick.+ $1783.realized by bazaar at Louis de Gonzague by accident.Dec.3rd.: Huntingdon council makes ten year light contract with J.G.Dunn Pec.4th.: Hochelaga branch jumped.The spirit spread to the other exchanges and the Clet.soaring lifted wheat over the dollar price until the Christmas price at Winnipeg Exchange was $1.83.In our own district the most outstanding development of Caughnawaga.the year has been the introduction of the T.B.Restricted! Area.The first test has been completed in Huntinzdon and once St.Philomene and Chateauguay parishes are finished in Chateauguay county that county will have been covered once.Fhe farmers are to be commended for their forward step but they should not stop with the test; they must join together and let the world know what they have done.Montreal is demanding better milk.The consumers are willing to pay for better milk, and the farmers should take advantage of this better market demand.1924 drifts out into the void and in its place comes another division of 365 days.What does it hold in store for us?What can we do for it?1924 saw the birth of many inventions.It witnessed the flashing of photographs by wireless across the ocean.It has seen the practical demonstration of Herr Flettner 8 rotor ship which glides over the water without sails or engines.It has witnessed many things: and 1925 will witness many more, still more marvellous and helpful, But the greatest help that the people of the world can give to civilization is to cherish the hope that they feel as the threshold of 1925 is crossed; retain it and inoculate the spirit of cheerfulness, kindliness and friendliness in those who surround them; then will we go through a period of joy and success, and when the end of the year comes we ¢an look back with pride, pleas- \u2018re and contentment, CAA I ) Ad a wl re ë A WINTER @ Ea 7 A + Binds ans OT APPLY IT FOR \u201cGORE THROAT FROST BITES 7.BRUISES \u201cSPRAINS Dec.16th.: Serious fire at Chateau-|otherwise guay menaces town.Dec.17th.: Indians Dec, 19th.: Announcement made that Mr.James Wattie of Guildford, Surrey, Eng., has presented Gauit Institute with scholarship fund of $6000.Dec.21st.: Extremely cold.Clark Goldie, Rockburn, burned to death when he throws gasoline on furnace fire.The Late E.J.Murphy Puneral services were hela at St.Patrick's church at 9.80 Saturday morning for Ed.J.Murphy.He was a native of Huntingdon, Quebec.He was also well known throughout Nevada, especially in Virginia City, where he was for some time foreman of the Consolidated Virginia and Ophir mines.He is survived by his wife;
