mysteriously goes disgust and suspicion were written over the face of our eldest citizen mr nathan forsyth as he left his accustomed place of worship in the united church last sunday morning when he realized after the service that someone had walked off with his hat leaving an old buster in its stead that didnt look just right on nathans mental dome since it didnt come to rest until his ears came into play as this was the second experi ence our church street veteran has had of this kind it has got past the joking stage for him over a year ago someone walked off with his headgear in the same manner from the identical spot in the church vestibule and of course leaving a hat that had spent its time as a be coming head piece before it was traded off on mr forsyth when the first hat was taken it was by someone who had just heard a ser mon preached by rev l e atkin son and on this occasion rev eu gene beach of ripley was in the pul pit nothing in the sermons preach ed apparently deterred the offend ing hatlifters from taking another fellows lid nor that encouraged peo ple who pick up the wrong hat in error to return the feltto its rightful owner in the eyes of the poet a stolen purse may only be trash but in the opinion of nathan forsyth he lost a very good mans fedora that he didnt want to part company with in such a manner xew farm increases farm equipment quotas an increase of
