Dear Grandma Palmer We thought we’d like to tell you How we appreciate Your loving Kindness to us all So we've come to celebrate. It seems a long, long time no doubt Since you both stood side by sidw .And heard the parson say at last "You may now kiss the bride". Many years have passed since then, Yet your love remains the same, Since you gayly left Old England's shore And to Canada you camo. You've seen both joy and sorrow In your long and happy life. You've had work and plenty of it Yet remained a loving wife. Yes, a loving wife and mother And a friend to one and all. Ne'er a one was turned away If at your door they'd call. And when at last the reaper came And your loved ones took away. You smiled so bravely thro your tears Said, "We'll meet again some day". And we know you will dear Grandma When your life on earth is o'er. And you'll have lots of waiting friends When you reach the other shore. So again a greeting to you And love right from our heart We hope when we are 79 That we may be half aa smarti ....Contributed.

The government paid .30^ sub­sidy up until Saturday night. This plug­ged the elevators and they had to extend the time, Here the price of #1 wheat is $1.08 a bushel. No more. The Lethbridge Her* aid is always gabbing about $1.25 wheat. This is probably the price at Fort Will­iam or Churchill.

Newspapers could help a lot ±0 get a more equitable price for farm produce if they would.

October 26, 1916 30 years ago) " "The news of John W. Taylor's death in Forest Dali, Utah, was received through­out the Latterday saint colonigg j_n Alberts with profound sorrow. Mr. Taylor has been called the "Father of the Alberta Colonies". / "Magrath has a wonderful official in the shape of Melvin Godfrey, He is a man of many partitas shorn by the following duties allotted to him. He is chief of police, license inspector, poll tax collector, supervisor of public works, license in­spector and secretary-treasurer. I "The last issue of the Alberta Gazette con- ■ tains the appointments of two justices of 1 the peace at Magrath, D. H. Bingham and 1 Amos Peterson. "The following consignment was sent last Thursday to headquarters by the Magrath Red Cross Society:- 6 holdalls, 1 robe, 3 doz. wringers, 16 surgical s&irts, 20 colored handkerchiefs, 22 white handker­chiefs, 6 suits, pyjamas, 3 doz. hot water covers, 3 doz. many tailed bandages, 5 doz.

"Merril Nelson of Magrath, has left for a mission to the Eastern States, "Mrs. Harold Wood and children, of Magrath have left to spend Christmas with Mrs. Wood's parents, at Archer, Idaho."
