The repeating of the Miz- pah benediction concluded the meeting. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Jeynings, of Oshawa, visited friends in the vil- lage, on Thursday. An annual event, which has seemed to have aroused the en- thusiasm of most adults, as well as the scholars, is that of the school fair which was held in the park, on Thursday. Owing to an accident through severe weather conditions elsewhere, the tent, which has been previously used for the exhibition of the articles of art, fruit, vegetables, etc., was rendered unfit for this purpose, However, the large church shed which has been so appropriate in the past for so many other gather- ings, and is situated in close prox- imity to the park, proved its use- fulness once more in affording an ideal 'place, in which to exhibit the many things, with the excep- tion of the animals and chickens, which had their place outside the shed and in the park. The elements were not too promising in the morning, fol- lowing the rain of the night pre- vious, a few scattered showers falling about mid-day, However the chilling strong breezes that swept the clouds in a southerly direction and made it nossible for old Sol to put in his appearance, was an incentive to the event in general, effecting more pep, ap- parently to the marching and physical drill of the various sehoolg, which took their places at the appointed time, presenting a gala sight in their various uni- forms, in the light of the bright sunshine. The crowd seemed slow in gathering, due probably to wea- ther conditions, but before the af. ternoon's program was uver had reached a height exceeding that of any fair heretofore held, MaYor Lorne McLaughlin was present to judge the physical drill, his task being rather a. dif- ficult one, the various schools ef- fecting a very close competition, showing marked effects of the in- terest of both scholar and teach- er in this ling of work. The task of Mr. Frances Sut- ton of Bowmanvilla, who was judge of the music, under the di- rection of Mrs, Robb, of Orono, and Miss Marion Orchard, of En- niskillen, was likewise a difficult one, the schools again showing re- sults of efficient training, and much interest in this. another im- portant phase of their school work, ' Mr, Sutton's father, who occu- pies a position on the school board in Saskatchewan, and is here on a visit, spoke for a few minutes, on the improved school work of the east, having followed up a number of the school fairs in this locality recently, and of the school work also of the west, The work of the judges in the tent was not an easy one, there being a close competition here also, Hampton school carried off a number of individual prizes, having been given first place, also collectively, for physical drill, and should be highly congratulated in this. They appeared as the largest school, making the task of training in this, or any other line of work a little more difficult than that of the smaller schools. The folk dance put on by some of the senior girls of Hampton school dressed in costumes of blue crepe paper and bonnets to match and carrying little blue pails was very pretty. The other similar drills by the various schools were also very interesting. These with the exception of Solina school were put on without music. Mouth or- gan by one of the junior scholars made their drill a little more ef- fective. The business at the lunch counter was quite a stirring one, the hot cup of tea, and refresh- ments of weiners and rolls, sand- wiches, cake and pie being very acceptable on such a cool day. The fish pond was quite an in- teresting place for the younger folk while the interest of the la- dies was attracted to the fancy work booth, where many useful and pretty articles found a buyer, . The teachers and scholars of the seven different schools, con- testing, deserve much credit for their untiring efforts in making the school fair such a splendid success, Our village can at last boast of a paved street which is nearing the south entrance to our village at Robbin's Corner. The next thing to be planned for is a street fair to be up to the minute, with adjoining centres of business, and progressiveness. Quite a number attended Lind- say Fair, on Friday. Quite a number from here at- tended the fair at Blackstock, on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs, Ernie Smirth- waite and daughter, Jean, of To- ronto, visited at the home of her father, E. L. Williamson, on Sun- a Mr. and Mrs. George Armour and Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Rundle attended the funeral of their aunt, Mrs, Routley, Brooklin, on Thurs- day afternoon. Mrs. W, J, Clemens, of Bow- manville, visited at the home of her son, on Thursday, and attend- ed the school fair. The rain which came on Tues- day evening and continued dur- ing the night, has effected a new lease of life for plant life, the lawns in particular showing marked results of the showers. An example of modern gallantry that is -worth preserving is the reply made by a private soldier ai the time of the war to the lady. who was very reluctant to accept his offer of a seat in a crowded tramcar, "But you have been wounded," said the lady. "Yes, madam," replied the sol- dier, "I have three-wounds, That is all the more reason why you should not inflict a fourth." A LESSON IN SIGNALS It you for knowledge really yearn, There's something everywhere to learn. ~--Old Mother Nature. Farmer Brown's Boy {is that kind. He considers that a day wherein he learns nothing is a day lost, It is, too, for any one who keeps eyes and ears open may learn something wherever he may be. It was so now. From a snug hiding-place on the rock slide far up on the mountain he was watching Whistler the Mar- mol and learning things about Whistler that would have sur- prised that little fellow had he known that Farmer Brown's Boy wade anywhere about. But he didn't know, which was just as well, for Whistler is very shy and distrustful and had he suspected that he was being watched, the sum total of Farmer Brown's Bey's knowledge of him would have been almost nothing. He lived alone, for he had no mate, and his nearest Marmot neighbor lived a mile away on another rock slide, But Whistler wasn't lonesome, not the least bit. He preferred to be aiune. In this he was just the opposite 'of his cousin Yap Yap the Prairie Dep, who is a social body and not Fappy unless he has a lot of neighbors to visit and gossip with, So now, fuly satisfied that he was quite alone, Whistler went about his affairs in a perfectly natural way. Tb begin with, he wae hungry. He had been plan- ning to get a hite to eat when Farmer Brown's Boy had appear- ed and frightened him down into his home. There he had waited so long that his stomach was quite empty by the time he came out, So as soon as he was sure that no one was about he ran over to a little patch of grasses and other plants of which he was very fond, There he began to eat greedily, much as Johnny Chuck does, but despite his hun- ger he didn't forget to sit up be- tween bites for a careful look in every direction. Then Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled. "You're a watchman all right," said he. "Most folks would think that in a lonely, place like this there would be no need of keeping watch, but it is clear that yon have learned the lesson that he lives longest who watches best, You certainly do remind me of Jehnny Chuck." Just then a faint whigtle sounded It a.l of a mile away. but clear came from Instantly By Thornton W. Burgess Whistler scrambeld up on the nearest rock from which he could get a clear view and gazed across at the rock slide where his near- est neighbor lived, for it was he who had whistled. Very straight ano alert he sat there. Farmer Brown's Boy_looked, but could sce nothing. Again he heard that distant whistle, So did Whistler, He whistled in reply. But he didn't run, He was all ready to run, but continued to sit up on that rock gazing across a valley to towering cliffs. on the other siae, By his expression and alert- ness it was plain that Whistler saw something. Now and then he would jerk his tail and grum- ble. But though he was so intent on something way off there in the distance, he didn't forget to take Fasty looks in all other direc- tior:s, Presently he jumped down from the rock and ran to a higher one, his favorite watch-tower, All the time he was in no apparent alarm, He was simply on guard, "That fellow who whistled way over there saw something and sounded a warning that Whistled over here understood," thought Farmer Brown's Boy. "He knows there is no immediate dan- ger, 80 he is simply on guard. Ha, There is a speck way off there in the sky, It must be Talons the Eagle. Yes, it and Whistler saw him long before I did. That other Marmot saw him first and signalled that he is out hunt- ing. Whistler here got the sig- nal and understood it," Talons was headed that way, and as he drew nearer Whistler became more excited. He kept his eyes on the big bird and ap- peared angry rather than afraid. He was, He knew that he had only to dive down among the rocks to be safe, so he wasn't afraid, But he was angry because his meal had been interrupted. At last Talons was almost overhead. Whistler waited until the last minute, when Talons started to gwoop down. Then with a plerc- ing whistle, the danger signal, he disappeared among the rocks. Frcm the distance came a whistled reply, but in it was no alarm. The other Marmot was simply signally that he under- stood that Talons was over there. "It 4s a great signal system, If 1 stay long enough I may learn it," chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy. (Copyright, 1931, Burgess) The next story: "Farmer Brown's Boy Has a Thrill," is, by T. W. MRS. M. A. WELLS, OLDEST RESIDENT OF SEAGRAVE DIES Aged Woman Passed Away In 92nd Year After a Long Illness (Mrs, L. Scott, Correspondent) Seagrave, Sept. 24--In the death of Mrs. Moses A. Wells on Mon- day, September 21st, our village has lost its oldest resident, Mrs, Wells, whose maiden name was Ilhza Ann Blanchard, was in her 92nd year and had been confined to her bed for the past year and a half at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. W, Moon 'who had faithfully attended her mother during her long illness, patiently and unselfishly the patient was cared for by the family, The late Mrs, Wells was widely known for her cheerful personality and a hard worker for her family, as will be remembered by those who knew he better years ago. Surviving her are four children: John, of Regina, Mrs, Britton Love, Lumsden, Sask., Mrs. Richard Moon, Toronto; and Mrs. C, W. Moon, of Seagrave. Mr, Alley Wells, who passed away dur- ing the past year was also a son. There are also surviving one sister, Mrs. E.

The measure now needs only the signature of Gov. Ross Ster- ling to make it effective. It has already been passed by the Sen- ate. The bill was passed by the Sen- ate, 19 to 9, The House vote was 80 to 32. The executive's signature pro- bably will be attached to the measure today. He already has approved the bill. Concerted action of both the House and Senate came after the special session had been meeting two weeks. The legislators were called upon by Gov. Sterling to "raise a torch that will light the way for the southland to free it- self from the economic chaos of low-priced cotton that now en- gults it." The newly passed law was, in cifect, a substitute for the plan | of Governor Huey P. Long, of | Louisiana, for a total cotton | planting holiday next year, Other Southern States were ex- pected to follow Texas' example and pass acreage restriction bills, thus attempting to end cotton over-production that has plunged prices to chaotic lows, The bill, conference committee members said, will effect a 60 per cent reduction in Texas' yearly cotton crop, or accomplish in two years what Gov. Long sought to do in one. This year, the state's 10,000 gins will compress approx- imately 5,000,000 bales. With 31,000,000 acres of Texas soil under cultivation this year, next year's allowable cotton acre- age will be restricted to 9,300,- 0(0 acres. Total acreage planted in cotton this year was 15,862, 000 acres. Penalties varying from $25 to $100 per acre for violations are provided, The penalty is made 1ecoverable by District Court suit. Fines collected will be used by the road and bridge fund. Stete Agricultural Commissioner J. D. McDonald is chief enforce- rent head of the new law, The bill will become effective 90 days after it is signed by Gov. Sterling. GIRL GUIDE FOUNDER TO BE WELCOMED Today Canada will have the hon- or of welcoming Miss Agnes Bad- en-Powell, the Founder of the Girl Guides, who is coming to pay a vis- it to her old friends, Major and Mrs, G, A. Heather in Kitchener, Quite a number of years ago now, Miss Baden, Powell, realizing (as her brother had realized about the boys) that girls were going to need something to brace them against the rising tide of materialism, ) caused by changing conditions, put forward the idea of banding girls together, much as the beloved B.] P. had banded boys in the Boys Scouts. Her idea was to set before the girlhood of the country an ideal of simpler living. She wanted to convince the girls of the honor that lies in good housewifery, of the stimulation: and the happiness they would find in closer touch with the out-of-doors and its wild life of the joy of service, And the Girl Guide organization was born in the heart of a woman who is a gentle- woman. The idea that thé Guide movement is militaristic is quite a wrong one, All one has to do is to look at the badges won by the girls for washing and ironing, for cooking and baby craft, for sewing and gardening to realize how far militarism was from the mind of Miss Baden-Powell when she laun- ched the Guides. YOUNG BARONET FIGHTS ADVERSITY Goes On Dole When Work As Laborer Stops Wellington, Shropshire, -- A dra- matic story of a young baronet who is fighting hard against adversity lies behind the news that Sir Char- les Buckworth-Hérne-Soame, of Sheen Cottage, Coalbrookdale, after succeeding to the title last week had to sign on at the employment exchange and is now in receipt of unemployment pay. Sir Charles, who is 36, inherited the title from his father, Sir Char- les Buckworth-Herne-Soames, Ow- ing to a series of family misfortunes the present baronet has had to work as a laborer in various capac- ities. Last week his job as general la- borer at the Office of Works at the restoration = of Buildwas Abbey, Shropshire, came to an end, and with no immediate prospects of fur- ther work he had had to sign on for the dole, He lives with his wife--a pretty dark-haired woman--in a six-room- ed cottage, and, in the little parlor of his home, he told a reporter his story, "It pains me," he said, "that my title should be dragged into an af- fair of this kind. After all, I am a victim of circumstances. Am I not like thousands of other men at the present time? The only differ- ence is that I possess a title, and, believe me, a title can be a handi- cap.' As he spoke Sir Charles gazed at the coat of arms, the family crest which adorns the room. 50 'Not very amusing, is he?" "Amusing? He couldn't enter- tain a doubt."
