THE fLESHERTON ADVANCE ' WEDNESDAY, APRIL I, 1931 Klfc ' . Toronto "At Home" Arrangements are being made by the Flesherton Old Boys and Girls for the holding of an "At Home" in Toronto.

Saw Mirage of Wasaga Citizens who were out about 7.30 Tuesday morning saw a wonderful fine mirage which mirrored Wasaga Beach, the Georgian Bay and the north, or Tiny shore. This lasted for some time, then gradually faded away. Such a phenomenon is very rarely seen in this portion of the Dominion, but is common in the west- ern provinces. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Carson announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary E. to Mr. William Edward Wil- son, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson of Brighton, Ont. The marriage to take place in April. Young Lads Made Bet; Wffl Now Pay The final payment of a bet is the problem on the hands at the present time of two local youngsters of about eight years of age. They attend the public school and dui-ing a spelling lesson one lad wagered one dollar, without odds, that a certain scholar would fail to spell the next word correctly. He lost and was request- ed for payment. Naturally he was without the necessary cash, but told the winner to take his winnings in candies, etc., from a local store, claim- ing that his mother would foot the bill when the time for payment came. These arrangements were complied with and the lad went home rejoicing in hh new-found wealth. Maybe the lad's parents will have something to say when the Jay of reckoning ar- rives and no doubt he will receive a lesson that will not dim with" passing years. The problem is whether th e mother of the loser or the parents of the winner will have to foot the bill at the store. FREE SEED One of the great vital forces re- sponsible for success in agriculture is good seed, declares the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Un- ion, in announcing that it is pre- pared this year to distribute to farmers free of charge, into every township, county and district of On tario, selected seed of the best vari- eties of field crops. Any farmer can j obtain a list giving the details of I this seed distribution for test pur- } poses from his local agricultural re- presentative. Included in the list are seeds for grain crops, root crops, culinary crops, fertilizer experiments and a number of miscellaneous ex- periments.
