Li title- wood, Mary .Isobell Brown,, daughter of Mr. and Mm 0. Brown, to Roy M. Thompson, son of Mr. and. Mrs Thomipsto-i., of Hayden. A ehimeny fire at the home of Henry ‘Cantrell, Main street north, Orono, brought the fire fighting equip- ment from the fire ball -at 6.15 a.m. on 'Wednesday morning and in- about three minutes the engine was- on the scene with a ful'Pcrew of the brigade present. A fire extinguisher was all that was necessary to extinguish the blaze. The alarm was sounded by Henry Cantrell. Mr. Percy Winter had one of his â- citron weighed that tipped the scales at twenty-seven and three-quarter libs. I le -planted twelve vines in he spring which produced 185 citron. Others ranged -around 20 !.. 25 pounds. - The seed were procured in British Colum- bia some thirty years' ag0 and the citron look like watermelon onfly they have the citron markings and -are light in color. “Bingo”, a part collie and husky dog, owned by Rev. S. Littlewoo-d, died on Wednesday morning from the résulte of receiving poison in some unknown manner. The dog was a very playful .me and was a great playmate of the children on Park Street and will be grealtly missed. Poison- at times i|s- necessary -to de- stroy undesirable pests b-u-t citizens should be very careful where it is placed as usually some other animal receives the poison- when it is meant, for another animal. Sherkrooke Man Last Seen When Leaving For Short Ride Before Dinfter Party Police off B-o'wmianville -are sfiffi mystified about the discovery on Sept. 2Sth -off an auto hidden in bushes juste o-ff the shier.uni between Newcastle and Newtonville. Investigations have revealed' the oar to be owned by Maurice S-t. Pierre, 26, of 'Sherbrooke, Que., who has been missing from his home-there for 17 days. 'Containing plenty of gasoline, the machine wa-s in- perfect working or- - der. The ignition key was :i.n the car. Provincial- Officer D. P. Morris and Chief Constable Syd. Yen ton, of Bo-w- manville, searched the vicinity but cuildn’r find -any sign of its occu- pante. ^ According to -Sherbrooke police, St, Pierre left home on Saturday- niiglht, Sept. 24, and was- to return shortly to accompany his wife out to dinner. He has not been heard off since. Elis wife and children -are worried and fear foul play. He is thought to have h-ad about $12 ;or $14 on his- person. No explana- tion can be given, by relatives as to why he would leave home. He was apparently in good health and. good spirits, and had good employ- ment. iRelat-ives claimed the car this week-end but couldn’t give any clue as to the disappearance. The ma- chine was abandoned before 11 a.m. Sept. 25 tli. Police at Bowmanville and at Sher- brooke are continuing the investiga- tion,. STEALS SHOTGUN It: seems that -no one can come up to the potatoes that were on display in the “Times” window, though one thing we can truthfully say is that we received a good deal of criticism on the number of bags of potatoes we mentioned thla-t might be harvested on a quarter of an acre if they were all that .size. It seems that the editor overeetimtated the yield, though not being an .authority on the amount of potatoes raised on a quarter acre, we are informed that thirty to thirty-five bags would be a good1 yield. CAN THEY DO IT ? We think so. 'Orono folks have at "knelt as good intelligence as the folks in the forty-seven other police villages in- Ontario where the Hydro sydtem is owned and, operated by the local Trustees.

Bowen had of his loss Was on Monday of last week when he noticed that the gun was not in its usual place. This is not the. first time that thieves have entered’ houses in that vicinity, as other places have been visited- and money stolen in- some cases, while in- others different articles have been taken, though it would seem that the culprit w-ais after money, and not finding any would take something else. It seems that the culprit was well acquainted in the vicinity and knew the habita of the people as most of the thieving has been one in the daytime when all would be out of the house together at sometime in the day.

Cabinet, reorganization would, pre- cede an election,, but ' with one prob- able exception nothing extensive on -that iinc is expected before the eve of the election. Aniy idea that be- fore another elector: . the " present Prime Minister may retire, is de- clared to have nothing whatever, to suprort it. Mr. King has never given tihe slightest indication of such tan intention. No dou'Hbt is- entertained of Dr. Manion’is -success in the London by- election. 'During next winter and Spring in- Parliament he will have the opportunity of. winning his-spurs, -or rather brooming accustomed to them. He will have the backing of Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, but the lat- ter will not. seek re-election in the next general election:. What will be the issue, of the next, contest, time alone will] determine, but as war is avoided, the presum%>- tion is it will be fundamentally on trade p-oliicies. At party gatherings during tihe next session, however, a group of Liberal] members propose. [strongly to .advocate a “Liberaliz- ing” of the party platform and re- form's in many ways, not nduding the question off currency and credits.
