Not of course as we can tell, to a head yet, though by morning James will be able to read there the tale of the weather as displayed on a more ample bosom of it.

"all the same we must try to get the firewood stored one of these days. It will never be in better shape than it is now. Yes after the haying we must see to that." O O 0 At present and extending their work into the moonlight, with Bob the farma-s are away to the other farm. There they are making due preparations for the going of the fat cattle, an event of special im- portance to them - and us. set to take place in the morning. The news of the anticipated happening gave rise to some speculation and a measure of concern. our animals pasturlng back on a slope of this farm, which according to James, of late, fears "has been losing its omens” must be brought with- in e of Rob's on pasture at the other form. But not to be left to- gether over-night. "That would never do" James declared, when i the two weighed the matter at chor- ing. "And why not -it would he would be convenient" someone of- fered. "Because" James called over his shoulder, "they'd fight the d--I !" However, briskly, with the black dog tagging, ours were herded to a neighboring field there. to await with Rob's the transporta- tion to market. one Ours is no great herd at all, just 'that heifer outta the red cow”. the reddish steer we got from Mike.

His eyes will return more than once to the pasture to find it strangely their farm- Dut already it commences again in the replacements that roam the True.success Story The subject of today's True Sue. was Story. the Hon. Bradford William LePage, was born on a farm at Rustico, P. E. I. back in 1876; a son of Christopher and Millicent Woolner LePage. The little red schoolhouse of the district was the place where young LePage attended school. But as Mr. LcPage puts it. "my education is the result of wide reading plus years of experience” and that is the road many a man has travelled to reach the rain- bow's and and the pot of gold. Mr. LcPage still can recall the lean years when money on farms was about as scarce as hen's teeth. and when the modern convenien- ces which most farms enjoy today were entirely unknown. Too. he recalls sitting at the fireside. with other members of the family, list- ening io his father tell stories of pioneer days when bears came right up to the barnyard to steal the family's prize pig or a choice lamb. He still retains varied memories of his dcar mother. how before tucking him into his little bed for the night. she would have him kneel beside her in prayer while she asked the good Lord to bless and care for each member of the family circle. 0 0 Yet a little later in the march of time he recalls the daily chores that fell to his lot. the woodbox to be filled for the next days fuel. the water pails that needed re- filling, the cows to be driven home, then milked, and again dl'lVEfl to pasture. Then there were the five long years that he clerked in the country store for a few dollars 21 month and the hours were not short either. But work- ing in a store appealed to young LePI.ge more than filling pails with water and milking cows. One day he dreamed of owning his own business if only he could come by the necessary funds to start such ii venture. At the age of 18 this dream be- came a reality. With only 5300 plus a lot of confidence, he open- ed a general store at Rusticoville. The venture was a success right from the start and three years later he built himself a cosy little home and married the sweetheart of his youth. Miss Harriet E. Christie of New Glasgow. The pint-sized' store which was started on a shoestring soon mushroomed into one of the largest establish- ments of its kind in the Province. I O 0 During this period Bradford pro- moted and managed the first Fish- erman's Co-Operative Association in the Maritime Provinces. The site of this business was Rustico. Having rounded out twenty-six successful business years in the country, Mr. LePage sold out and moved to Charlottetown, where, with his son W. Ruel. the pro- gressive and up-to-date shoe store. The LePage Shoe Co. Ltd., whole- sale and retail. had its beginning and stilloperates. In 1919 B. W. LePage made his debut in politics. representing the 2nd District of Queens. under the Liberal standard.. Again Lady Luck stood him in good stead, for he won five out of six contested elections. I C A member of the Provincial Government for eight years, Mr. LePage filled the following posts: President of the Executive Coun- cil. Chairman of the Fishermen's Loan Board, member of the Board fields with Rob's at the other farm. . . .

For a short time he was acting Premier and acting Minister of Agriculture. Hon. B. W. LePage represented H. M. King George VI as Lt. Gov- ernor of Prince Edward Island from 1939 to i945. He also had the honor of representing this Pro- vince at the King's coronation in London in l937. Mr. LePage was a former direct- or of the local Y.M.C.A.. and a member of the Rotary Club. 0 O I As a lifelong advocate of pro- hibition it is only natural that Mr. LePage would early link up with the church. He was an elder of Zion Presbyterian Church until the time of Union when he joined Trinity United where he has been an elder for twenty-four years. The Hon. B. W. LePage has en- joyed a long and useful life. has surmounted many early difficult- ies. has climbed the ladder of suc- cess as a truly self-made man and with only a fourth grade educa- tion io begin the climb.

"Rapid and dramatic removal of signs and symptoms of rheui.-natoid arthritis (the common- est form of rheumatism) by corti- sone and ACTH has given the medical profession s new standard of comparison for valuing the drugs or methods in treatment of disease. Because of the scarcity of these two drugs (homionee or gland extracts), it was inevitable that certain substitutes should be named as 'nearly as good'." The editorial then gives the names of several of these substitutes. some of which have received favorable mention in newspapers and natur- ally the public is inquiring for or about them. "This sltuation' is unfortunate for none of these products has produced raults comparable with those obtained with cortisone a.nd ACTH. This does mt mean that these new products are without merit but none is beyond t'.'ie ex- peril.-nental stage." The editorial then states that until additional convincing evi- dence ls produced, the medical pro- fcssion must advise its patients that these new substitute remedies cannot be put in general use.

The season's range includes a new light-weight fabric made especially for export. . with the increased color range and a wider variety of materials for other climates at their dispos- al, London fashion houses are ex- pecting to increase their exports by at least one-third more than lest season. i A contribution from scotland to the autumn fashion scene is n fea- ther-weight angora wool which can be ordered in comblnatl with in heavier-weight angora for coat and dress ensembles.
