was most informal and was kept so quiet that even the husbands must have been dumb as to the whereabouts of their wives on that evening somehow the ladies of the green learned that their president had a birthday and this accounted for the particular time of year in which they took their first officer by surprise stepping into the ratcliff house without the slight est warning they took possession

business of any area could be accurately judged by the extent of business done at the depot of any town stouffville stood on top but of course that kind of indi cator is no use now days wheu places 25 miles from toronto get practically all their supplies by truck and so it is not used any more as a fair measuring stick the other day the scribe- happen ed in at the local depot when agent preston gave us some inform ation that we considered outstand ing in the matter of export data for a small community within ten days we found that the stouffville gold fish supply co had made ship ments of fish to points in alberta and earlier in the season to british columbia the cioodall seed co limited shipped carloads of seed grain to the port of london england for the british and european mark et stiver bros had just shipped a carload of clover seed to buffalo and it e brown consigned several carloads of turnips to points as far south as georgia brlllnger bros were loading a carload of vegetables for timmins northern ontario these shipments were not extra ordinary said the agent they are being made at intervals all through the season when these particular products are market able as we said before the imports come largely by truck although mr preston pointed to bills of lading for live carloads of corn arriving at stouffville from the argentine the corn comes in by boat to montreal and from there rail to stoultville the freight alone from montreal runs 300 per car but when this is spread over the number of bushels in tho shipment it dnes not seem high those who imagine the day of the railroad is over have but to ponder over the business transacted by a village like stouffville and they will realize that there is much for these roads yet especially in the matter of

court tuesday the most contemptible i have ever heard this man in my opinion is a villain a rogue a cheat this man steals things that others have earned by the sweat of their brow under another administration this man would he tarred and feather ed and i would hate to prosecute those who tarred and feathered him he should be given the maxi mum penalty defrauded farmers the crown attorneys declara tion came after six witnesses farm ers from brooklin blackwater sunderland and intermediate points testified that the accused maxwell d sidey alias kerr alias rogers alias fettery had between the 24th of september and the 28th travelled through the district and purchased barley from tho farmers stating that he was a representative of the maple leaf milling co of toronto numerous farmers in the stouffville district were victimized witnesses claimed that after arrangements had been completed the accused had a transport from lindsay pick up the purchases amounting to some 856 bushels and told the farmers that a cheque would follow in the course of a few- days directed to oshawa roy junkin owner and driver of the transport stated that they hauled four loads and that when each time they came to whitby sidey would telephone and say that he was instructed to take the loads to osliawa where they were sold to hogg and lytle the fourth load testified junkin was taken to toronto purportedly to he turned into the maple leaf elevators there as it was evening the the accused instructed him to visit his sister in toronto overnight and he would dispose of the load in the morning in the morning the accused in structed him to take it to oshawa where it was sold on the way to oshawa sidey told junkin that he was to go to cambray and pick up a load of wheat didnt get cheques at cambray junkin stated he was unable to locate the farmers whereupon he telephoned the ma ple leaf co at toronto and they informed him that they did not know of any such person as sidey and further that the elevators into which junkin was to dump wheat were lettered and not num beved as sidey had informed him junkin immediately interviewed the farmers and learned that they had not received their cheques the provincial police wero called in and provincial constable h clark and provincial constable fred jarvis after investigating notified all police the accused was picked up in toronto last thursday a month after he had disappeared and was brought to whitby to stand accused jack mcgill bookkeeper tor hogg lyttle oshawa testified that they had bought the barley from the accused and had paid him 65870 for the tour loads sidey had told them that he purchased the grain in the muskoka district on the last load they had told sidey that they could not take his barley at the quoted price and sidey had taken about four cents less saying that he would be about breaking even clarence fairmau f gray wil liam heron a g duff g saun ders and m burrows identified the accused but each told the court that sidey had given a different name so many fictitious names were supplied that crown attorney con- ant asked if his vocabulary was not exhausted with the hearing of eacn wit ness the accused declined to qes- tion except to inform the court that some of the stated losses were out a few bushels here and there there is always a different be tween the purchaser and the other said the crown but you got all the proceeds had bad record the crown read sideys criminal record which included seven charges of theft one of forgery two of fraud and one of attempted fraud the accused said that he had just got out in fehruary given three years sidey pleaded guilty to the charge of fraud and when asked by magistrate ebbs if he had any thing to say before sentence was passed declined the bench asked sidney what he had done with the money and he said he had spent it and invested some you have a very bad record said magistrate ebbs it is a mean offence that you have committed there is no reason why you should not receive the maximum three years wanted in toronto at the close of the case the ac cused was taken back to toronto to stand trial on other charges and magistrate ebbs asked that the press warn farmers to be more careful in dealing with strangers whom they have never seen before particularly in trusting such large amounts of grain to strangers with out proper identification charge dismissed arising out of this same case roy junkin was arraigned before magistrate ebbs on a charge of conspiracy to defraud and the charge was dismissed this charge was laid when sidey the j was at large stated crown attor ney conant the complainants in this case felt very much aggrieved and as sidey had not been appre hended it was felt that junkin could help materially i dont think there is any criminality he bears a respected name in his community i would say that the crown has no evidence to offer i would ask that this case be dismissed magistrate ebbs concurred with the crowns plea and dismissed the with the churches good work completed cost of water mains exten sion is 1450 about 30 members of the stouff ville horticultural society visited unionville on tuesday evening as guests of the flower lovers there mr clark addressed the gathering on home beautiflcation and mr j b spencer ottawa president of tho ontario horticultural society was present and proved an interest ing guest send the tribune lo absent friends the cost of the water works extension just completed at the west end of the village is found to be 1450 it was disclosed this week when all accounts in connection with the undertaking were finally in councillor a e weldon chair man of the water and light com mittee under whoso direction the work was initiated and carried out estimates that a direct benefit will be felt by some 16 householders those on main street who were constantly menaced with frozen pipes and those on the back street where the pressure was inadequate in addition a reliable main passes about 16 vacant lots which may be built on at any time the general benefit to the rate payers comes from the fact that every water pipe is now removed from under tho main street pave ment from the extreme west end at alex scotts to cnjr tracts these pipes were liable to burst and cause serious damage to our flno pavement and their removal has been urged ever sinco tho road was built in 1930 in the light of all this there is llttlo doubt but that every rate payer will readily sanction the ex penditure made by the chairman of the committee who largely directed the work and to tho council in general for backing the scheme a nice feature of it all said councillor weldon to the tribune is the fact that the entire expendi ture is paid for out of surplus funds in the water works account and thus local taxes will not he affected in any way whatever later became accountant with maple leaf milling co died at family home here following a number of years of rather poor
