Loe- kie Wilson's international plowing match being held here this week. True, they made careful prepara tions to handle the erowds and peo- ple, but it is doubtful if they ex- pected the number who have come from many miles around to see the expert plowmen at work. 33,000 Attend Farmers in Middlesex County. particularly, hardly realized just the amount of interest that would be taken in the match, or more of them would have entered. Fully 35,000 people journeyed to the Carmichael farm today to see the work in stubble, There were 3,- 500 cars parked at one time around the grounds, while several large busses were kept busy running be- tween the city and farm, which lies ten miles from here, just off an excellent concrete road. Forty-five teams cntered and competition was keen, To indicate the interest taken in the biz match, it might be mention- ed that ane, W, H. Atkinson, trav- elled all the way down from Port Elgin, bringing his team and fa- vorite plow along. The trip took 3 days, and Mr. Atkinson was stop- ped by the Lord's Day Alliance for travelling with a wagon on Sunday, but when he explained where he was going and why he was allowed to proceed, Horshoe Pitching One of the hig attractions of the competition this year was the horse shoe pitching contest. As a result of the competition staged in this line by the Royal Winter Fair of Toronto, last year, and in expecta tion of a still larger affair at the Royal next month, there has heen a lot of interest in this old sport throughout the length and breadth of the Province, At the match today the elimina- tion series were tossed off, War. den Alfred Comfort and Mayor George Wenige opened the game, and the leading citizen of London was rather badly worsted by the leading citizen of Middlesex County, Fully 1,500 people watched the Ae SN 100 fimes richer than creamery butter CoD Puretest LIVER OIL Don't let your system run down in this dangerous sea- son, Let Puretest Cod Liver 0il furnish you with strength to throw off colds and disease germs, Old or young--all who want more vigor and energy-- will find a world of benefit in Puretest Cod Liver Oil, Sold only at the Rexall Store, Large Bottle, 75¢ Small Bottle 40c Jury & Lovell King E.

It was well worth watching, too, with as many as eight ringers, or four perfect scores, im a row, Another feature was the multi ple hitch: In the last few years farmers in this part of the county have been following the lead of the West in attaching more horses to the wider farm implements now in vogue, The visitors at the plows ing match today saw teams of three, six, nine and twelve horses all hitched together, and working in perfect unison. OF MANSLAGHTER thorne's Death Was Due to Gunshot St. Catharines, Oct. 12--A jury in the Autumn Supreme Court yester- day afternoon, after deliberating for four hours on the evidence, brought in a verdict exonerating Stephen Bygrave, Caistor Centre farmhand, aged 22, of the killing of Cecil Sil- verthorne last March, On the night of March 5 Lloyd Tyce, a farmer, left his farmhand, Bygrave, in charge of the place while Tyce and his wife went to a party. He told Bygrave to be on the watch for grain thieves, who had been op- erating in that section, and left the youth in the barn with a shotgun, Bygrave secreted himself in the hay- mow, and presently saw a man enter the yard, but go away. A little later the same man, apparently, came back and went into the barn. When he came out again with a bag of grain on his shoulder, Bygrave jumped from the mow, The man paused a moment, then took to his heels, By- grave shot in his direction, though he claimed he had aimed high, and merely wished to frighten him, The fugitive dropped, and Bygrave, run- ning to him, found, to his amaze- ment, that the man was a well-known neighbor, Cecil Silverthorne, He helped the injured man to his home and telephoned Tyce, Dr. McCauley took Silverthorne to Dunnville Hos- pital, after giving him an injection, Next morning he took him to St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton, think- ing he would get better treatment there, but Silverthorne died four days later, W. M. German, who defended By- grave, set forth the unique line of defense that Silverthorne did not die of gunshot wounds, which, he econ- tended, were not sufficient to cause death, but by reagon of an eight inch probe the size of a knitting needle, which it was admitted had been used in operating on him at the Hamilton hospital, The probe was thrust through his head, as was explained, to ascertain if the brain had been affected, The patient, all the doctors swore, had succumbed to a slow hemorrhage and disorganiza- tion of the brain, TORNADO STRIKES CITY IN FRANCE Great Damage and Some Lives Lost in Perpignan District Perpignan, France, Oct, 12, -- Great property damejze and sonre loss of life was caused by a violent tornado which struck this city and surrounding country side, The storm hegan Tuesday at 4 p.m, The district was in darkness broken by occasional flashes of lightning, Heavy thunder rolled and the terrific wind carried" with it a downpour of rain, The electric light works ) partially wrecked, Automoblles were picked up from the road and hurled against trees, A farmer who took refuge in a cabin was burned to death when the cabin took fire, His wite was seriously injured try- ing to save him, ' Jean Calce, while passing the Perpignan Casino, was picked up by the wind and carried for several yards until he was dashed against the side of the building, His skull was fractured, Many persons were reported gravely injured in nearby villages. -------------- CHIANG INSTALLED CHINESE PRESIDENT Ceremony at Nanking Per. formed Amid General Rejoicing Shanghai, Oct, 12,--Gen, Chiang Kai-shek was inaugurated Presi- Asthma or Hay Fever, It! effectively overcomes irri tion and permits you tqf%f her history as a republic China from the by restless nights, relieves the worst cases, Try it and be convinced, Monufactured by Ni & L co, i{born, and it was considered an ap I eras, i |joicing, dent of China Wednesday.

The additiom of vinegar or lemon juice to sweet milk makes a satisfactory substi- tute. One tablespoop of acid tc one cup of milk will give the mix- ture the acidity of which will be neutralized by 1-2 teaspoon to a cup of milk. This is the acidity of the average sour milk. An excellent lemon pie can be produced without a lemon by using bottled lime.
