McKinnon, who is reeve <if the vilUijo, i.s a druggiat, and his phioe of hu.s nes.< is located ch>se to the hank. On the day that llie icibbery was ooni- iidttetl, McKinnon had gone to the hank to get a tCH-doll.ir iheipie cashed. There wa.'ja big roll of bills on th'j countei-,and lifter the uh-vk had cashed the cheque be I well! to the l-Hck pa'l, of the office to get j something (lut of the safe, leaving the jrull uf hills on the cunter. When he c.iuic Uiek the money was gone. Ho at once rushed to the door, and sitw Mc- Kitmon going into his own store. Then bo called the manager and togethe^ they tried di g* t inti> McKinnon's store hut foiin<l the ilo >r locked. Calling the vil- lage constahle, they forced an entrance, and found .McKinnon upstiiirs. He de- nied all knowledge of the robliory, and conseutt'd that hii shop sliou'd he searched. Soiui part of the ni .iiey was found, and then .McKinnon Uiado a cleiin confession of the wholii busiues.s, iuid told tluiiii where the remainder of the money, auiotinling in all t > 81800, was t<i ^ be f'lunil. He was then allowed his lih- ''" erry, and it .seonis tint he immediately drove away and has not since been heard of. A w.irrant has been issued for his nrre.vt. McKinnon was a man 'of good , h:ibi'.s, highly esteemed i:i the neighlmr- hood, defer, hire hM>king and a generd favorite. It is certainly a .«ad .sor'y, for, in a moment of touipt;ition he yieldtnl, only to iilighl his iirospects for life. O. S. Sun. ducod.

ID YOU EVER FIGURE THE COST of a single day's baking â€" the material, ,fuel, time and labor â€" and consider that it is all wasted if the baking is a failure ? Is it economy, then, to use a flour of uncertain quality when a few cents more will 'buy Household Hour â€" a flour that you can depend upon to produce light, crisp and wholesome bread or pastry? It is made from selected hard wheat, milled by a most modern process which guarantees absolute purity. Royal Household Flour does not vary in quality â€" does not disappoint. ~ ^7 Ogilvie Floor MDIs Co..
