Mr. W. A. Boys, M.P., was then asked to address the meetinox He dwelt chiefly upon the scal policy of the Government and the great neces- sity for a policy of adequate protec- tion to stimulate the business of the country which, he said, was anything but :~atisfactor_\* at present. M1`. Boys st'zu(.d that in the last two years 1342 ind metrics had closed their doors. He did not su:_-32`-.2..t that this was all due to the policy of the pres- . _L;ove1'n- meiut but con'.`e-ided that that was la1`g`el_v responsible for the present in- dustrial depression.

Mr. Currelly stated that the (l0\'0l )p- lmc-nt of all ne buildings was due to `the influence of gods.

The Crown prosecuted Mr. Nelson Mc.Ar- thur of Camp Borden who was im- plicated to the extent that he had paid two men in Stayner $35 if they would bring the car back. The ac- cused did not go into the box to give evidence but according to a conversa- tion he had held with Capt. Brooks, of Camp Borden, his motive was to clear himself by so doing", of any suspicion. How he located the car -if he was not an accomplice, or how he got in touch with these two men, still remains a mystery. The am` had been rented out to :1 in the outer court. The people intheeast sit on the oor and eat out of a common bowl. From these eu:~'toms arose the desire for cleanliness about the floor, mats, shoes and hands.

The quality of the exhibits that were brought in was excellent. A Department Judge speaking of the poultry, said it was -the best exhibit he had judged in years. There was ` a good showing` of cattle, `there being i many exhibitors from out-side the d1s- ` trict. Some splendid types of bacon hogs were shown, but in the sheep and horses there was a noticable falling` off from former years. Graden pro- duce and roots were there in abund- ance and the quality better than ever seen. Ladies work and domestic science classes were outstandinyx feat- I ures.

WillT>Pla;1tTrees On` Provincial Highway At a well attended meeting` held last week at School Section 18, Oro, it was decided to proceed with the formation of an organization for the purpose of l1a.\'i1ig trees planted on the Provincial Hi_e`hwa_v between Bar- rie and Orillia. A provisional com- mittee composed of men from Orillia, Oro Township and Barrie was ap- pointed, who on :\Ionda_v of this week, met at the home of Thos. Ross, .\`I.P., and elected ofcers and got the org'ani'/.ation under way. To W. Fin- ayson, M.P.P`., for East Simcoe, in a large measure is due the credit for the importv.nt step. Realizing` the value of having: this H1g`h\vay im- proved by uniform trees all the ivay, Mr. Finlayson induced the Govern- ment to make a grant of 75 cents for every tree that is g`rowin_g' three years after being planted. The im- portance of this road was shown by the number of cars that travel on it every day during` the .-summer months and it would attract more if shade trees were ;:1'0win_Lr. Ir \\,'n'< nnvnml that there should be I | _Sl'1 0\\']T1_L . It was ag'reed that there some kind of an or.g-'anizatJion to carry out the scheme and the farmers living aloiig the road where the `proper per- sons to undertake the work. There were many thing's an organized body could do to beautify and improve the road, such as makinr: a path for school children and improving` the curves by shrubs and owers. Mr. H. J. Moore, a former Forester for t-he Provincial H|i.g'hways, who was at the meeting, gave some useful information re_e'ard- ing planting trees. He offered to come and give an iiiustrated talk on tree p1ant~iI`1," and the new or::aniza- tion will avaiil vthemselves of this privi]e,e;e. It is probable that a start will be made this fall 011 the tree` planting and getting the ground in shape. HIGH SCORES MADE BY LOCAL TRAP SHOOTERS1 Intercollegiate Meet}?
