McTAVISH. - FLESHERTON. t I HARDWARE f^ qâ„¢^^ Negro Shot On Sunday night laat in a little wood camp nonh of Garryoweii, where some n?groi» were cutting wood, a rather serious shooting affair took place. Dan Morgan is in the coll.s and Arthur Douglita has a hole clean through his body as a re^ult and if Douslas should die the charge I gainst Morgan would be of a serious nature. The »ff«(r is supposed to be the result of a quarrel between the two in which Morgan is alleged to have cast retlu^tions on the legitimacy of the latter and with hurling epithets at Doug- lass' retatiTes. Douglas is supposed tf have resented the rsniarks and to have ihicAtened Morgan with an axe and Morgan pulled a revolver and shot Arth- ur iu the left breait. The bullet fru-K a 32 calibre revolver enterod just abeve the heart and went through the body, lying just under the skia at the Utck of the left shoulder blade. A anitll piece of hipshirl was cirriea through by the bullet and was rjnioved at the lime the bullot was taken out. The victim is a' the home of Bill Hooey, 1824 8th Ave. K., and is in a aeriom condition. Morg- an was arrested by lh.> town po'.ioj on Wednojd.iy and was given a prolimiiisiy he.aring yolerdiy morning.

Recruits Wanted Vodection Jii.st as .surely as lack c» food is strangling Germany day by day, so plenty of food is winning the victory for the allies. The French annies, for instance, were never better fed than now, for France cannot forget the awful lesson of 1870 â€" the failure of her food supply. To this she attributed the loss of that war. To food the I'rcnch soldiers around Verdun, more than 25,- 500,000 pounds of food a week were required. This gives a faint idea of the colossal task of feeding an army. Canada and Britain have a huge army of fighting heroes on the line; every man MUST have plenty of food, in spite of a world shortage. Upon Canada's food production all principally rely. The Farmers of Ontario Urgently Need Help The Department of Agriculture appeals to men and boys to enlist in the farm help campaign. The Department appeals to menunfitfor miUtary service, orwhofinditimpossible to enlist in the army. Do your "bit " by helping to increase production of foodstuffs. This is your hour of opportunity. The farmers of Ontario need the help of retired farmers, of men following no occupation (retired), of business men who can spare a portion of theixtime. We appeal to all who can so arrange their ordinary affairs to plan to help some farmer friend, particularly in seed time and harvest. fygMM Confer with your county District Representative of the Department of .Vgriculture, or write, "Farm Help Cam- paign," care L^epartmeut of Agriculture, Toronto.
