THE Stratford Winter Show once again promises to eclipse previous successes in every way. The entries show a most gratifying increase, the total number being 2387 as against 2093 for last year and 2268 for the year before. This must be most gratifying to the Association,, the members of which body have worked so hard to make the function more successful each year. The Stratford Winter Show is less than 1 0 years old, and from quite an insignificant beginning it has grown until now it can take its place and challenge corncomparison with most of the leading provincial fixtures of the same nature. This has not been accomplished without a great deal of effort, and splendid learn work. It is also a tribute to the courage of those behind the movement. They had faith in ihe future and were prepared to back that faith. The Winter Show means a great deal to Stratford, and it now remains for the townspeople to back up the efforts of the Association by attending so that the gate takings will also constitute a record.

Treatise oll : Honesty

"IFONESTY is the rule governing all duties, it is the choice on . lii the right side, it is the proper thing to do in all circumstances," states Arthur Mee in his popular newspaper. "Some people believe they are honest because they face honestly the important issues of life, such as not getting something for nothing, net evading the law, not taking advantage of a situation; but honesty has as much to do with little things aSa with big ones. It sometimes requires strength of character not to exaggerate, not to underestimate or deceive or misrepresent, but the reward for this straightforward conduct is the solid foundation for trustworthiness. An honest man feels strong. People cannot make him say yes if he wants to say no. He is not afraid of telling the truth, because he has experienced that, whatever the appearances, truth is bound to win. He could not think of deceiving anybody. Honesty secures peace; it attracts love; it opens the way forward; it unfolds boundless possibilities. It unlocks the gate of trouble and prepares the way to happiness"
