VALL EY SETTl tR OBJECTS
According to the financial statement a^
■pearing in the Valley frontiersman-of last
Saturday,' for the fire Association, the
Volley Settler is credited with charging
the fire Association £12.00 for advertising,
T e bill for. this-advertising as resented
to the fire Association and- mhi-ch v;as nronp
tly paid by the same, was'for £4.85.
TMs included Veteran's Tax.
Another work-saving and time-saving device
for farmers i:s on the market now. It is
an electric hay hoist. This is easier to
handle, faster to operate, and inexpensive .
to use compact unit v;hich can be moved a
round and used for other jobs than hoisting ^
hay, _
March seems to have come in like a lion.
Let’s hope it sticks to the rule and goes
out like a lamb.
