Baraca Picnic.

One of the most pleasant occa-
sions of the season was the Basaca
Glass picnic at Smiths pond Friday
afternoon. The members of the class
with their wives, daughters and
sweethearts met at the pond about 5
o'clock, and spent two hours in good
fellowship, some enjoying the delight
full swimming in the pond. At seven
o'clock bountiful supper was spread
and a good time made perfect. We
want all the young men Of the town
and community in our class, and if
they will join, we feel sure they will
stay with US.

CANADA HAS STEADY GROWTH
Recent Census Shows Healthy In
crease In Population, Despite
Losses Caused by War.

Canada's census for 1921 indicated
total population Of S,769, ,4S9, distrib-
uted as follows: New Brunswick, 3S7,-
S39; Nova Scotia, 3,S37; Prince Ed
ward island, SS,615; Quebec, 2,349,-
OCT; Ontario, 2,929,O54; Manitoba,
613,OOS; British Columbia, 52S, 1853;
Yukon, 4,162; Northwest territories,
6,684, and Canadian navy, 4S5. The
gain for the whole Dominion during
191O-192O, was 100000 or 21.5 per
cent. The war cost the lives Of 56,6SO
Canadians killed In action, while 4O,-
600 more died from indirect causes.
The percentage increase in population
is the same as that for Australia, while
the increase for New Zealand 20 per
cent was very little behind. In the Union
Of South Africa the increase was 1872
per cent. The Prairie provinces made
the most pronounced gain in Canada,
Alberta showing 55 per cent in
crease; Saskatchewan over So per
cent, and Manitoba, 33 per cent. For
the next ten years the unit Of distribu-
tion for determining the membership
of parliament will be 3625O. This total
is arrived at by dividing by 65 the
population Of each province.

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out OF style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend is to pre-
serve the tooth to make it look as
near as possible like it was originally.
II this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also Is not as popu-
lar as it once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass OF, gold In be-
tween. II the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with 1t.
Now dentists recommend plate of
false teeth instead Of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science is now
spending its energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns.-New York Sun.

A ripple of. surprise passed
over Glenmora Sunday when it
was made known that Harold L.

Ark, on October 18th.
Harold.is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. DIR. G. M. Monroe. pioneers
of the town, and one of the first

Mention Harold Monroe to an
acquaintance and Immediately
acquaintance begins to laugh,
for good cheer and 'sDock" are

ates sunshine and optimism
where ever he goes. He is some
thing of a globe trotter and has
rambied up and down this con-
tinent for years and his friends
Were very skepticat when the
news first reached town.
Nothing is known Of the young
lady, but if she looks upon life
from tbs same viewpoint as Har-
old, it will mean one long lane Of
sunshine and good cheer.
The Patriot, along with Mr..
Monroe's mary friends extend
the happy couple their congrat-
nIations and we'll wishes, and at
the same time assure foxy Har-
olda hilarious reception when he
agains sets foot on home soil.
