The Toronto Conference convention in connection with the Missionary and Maintenance Fund activities of the United Church of Canada will be held at Brampton on September S and 9 Trespass Charges Were Dismissed Mrs. F. Cutting Dies John Runstadler Dies Being charged for trespassing on a fishing reserve and catching speckled trout under the legal length Messrs. Walter LeGard of Toronto and H. J. LeGard of Pickering appeared before Magistrate Spereman of Owen Sound in the Court held here Friday after- noon. Both were discharged on the trespassing accusation, but the for- mer was fined $10 and costs, a total of $16, for catching small fish. Thecharges were laid by Mr. Wm. Kaitting, game warden and keeper of a reserve, the fishing right of which is owned by the Beaver Fishing Club of Toronto, who had found both men on the reserve with fish in their possession. He immediately laid in- formation against them on the above charges, despite a ruling that had already been given that all property had to be properly fenced to keep off fishermen. Mr. Kaitting claimed that signs were posted Iforbidding fishing, but not ti'espassing, and that was enough, but the Magistrae niled oherwise again. On the charge of being in possession of small fish Mr. Walter LeGard claimed the fish were his, hence the fine as above, and Mr. H. J. LeGard's case was dismissed. Mr. Kaitting had another case of trespassing on the docket which caus- ed considerable amusement amongst the spectators in Court. He met a man on the reserve who, on demand, refused to divulge his name, but said '•(hat Mr. Kaitting could take the number of a car on the road, into which the man seated himself, but immediately deserted when Mr. Kait- ting left. Ed. Hillock of Maxwell was summoned, but it turned out that he was not the man wanted, as he had been picking berries in the val- ley. Magistrate Spereman instruct- ed Mr. Kaitting to be very careful who he brought into court, as a dam- age action might result. AUTO ACCIDENT EVERY 40 MIN- UTES IN AUGUST LAST YEAR According to the records of the Mo- tor Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways, motor ve- hicle accidents during the month of August, 1931, averaged more than 33 there were 77 fatalities and 1025 per- sons injured. This record, be it un- per day. Included in this number derstood, is for the province of On- tario alone, and not for the whole country as one might imagine from the size of the figures. The causes of the accidents re- corded were various but it is note- worthy that more than one fourth of the motorists involved came to grief while driving on the wrong side and almost as many were driving too fast for traffic and road conditions. Mrs. FV'ederick W. Cutting (nee Vera Loucks) died in Dr. R. L. Care- foot's private hospital at Markdale early Monday morning, following an operation for internal trouble, the third she had experienced in 14 months. Oft August 1st she attended the picnic in Flesherton renewing acquaintam^L'S with her old friends and was apparently in good health. Two weeks ago she suddenly took wsrse and on Friday was taken to the hos- pital, where an operation was per- formed, but in her weakened condition death ensued. The late Mrs. Cutting was a daugh- of Mr. and the late Mrs. P. Loucka of Chatsworth and was born 36 years ago at the "little mill" two miles from Flesherton and received her .schooling in the Fleshei-ton schools. Sixteen years ago she married Frederick Cutt- ing of Euphrasia township. Besides her husband she leaves three daugh- ters, Alice, Devona and Gladys at home; two sisters, Mrs. Stella Wy\-ille of Vandeleur and Miss Bella Loucks of B.C., and three brothers, Edward Loucks of the East Backline, Arteme- .sia, Cecil Loucks of Chatsworth and Walter of British Columbia. Mrs. Cutting was of a bright. L-heery disposition and a splendid jharacter and took an active part in L-hprch and Sunday School work when her health permitted. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends in this district is extended to the sorrowing family. The funei-al is being held this Wed- nesday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. with service at her home in Markdale with interment taking place in Flesherton cemetery. Very many of our readers will I learn with regret of the death of Mr. John Runstadler, who for many years ; was engage<l in the egg trade in Grey I and adjoining counties, with head- ! nuarters in Flesherton. Mr. Runstad- ler has been living in retirement in Toronto since he gave up business because of ill health, and he was a great sufferer from rheumatism. He had a slight stroke ei.rly last winter and took another one last week. He pat^sed away at his home on St. Clarens avenue on Friday last. The funeral, which was largely attended, too's plact on Monday, service being in St. Helen's church and interment took place in Mount Hope cemetei-y. The deceased spent his boyhood days in Waterloo County, but came to this district in his early manhood. He leaves a widow (nee Miss Egan) the daughter of a well-lmown pioneer family of Proton, .â- <- ' -n only child. Miss Marguorita. now molding a re- .^ponsible position as a Medical Doc- tor in a leading Buffalo hospital. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Flesherton and district will go out to the bereaved ones. Underwent Operation The following item refers to a brother of Mrs. W. H. Thurston of Flesherton and will pove of interest to many of our readers: "The condi- tion of Rev. Dr. S. D. Gaudin of Cross Lake United Church mission, who this morning underwent an operation for injuries caused by a recent fall, was reported as satisfactory by hospital authorities at noon to-day. Mr. Gaudin was recently awarded his hon- orary degree from Wesley College in appreciation of his 42 years of work amongst the Indians in the northland. The veteran minister was accompanied in the ardurous canoe and boat trip by Mrs. Gaudin." FLESHERTON WON BOTH GAMES REMOVING SURPLUS HONEY The best time to remove finished supers of comb is in the early after- noon, when the bees are working well in the fields. It can easily be done by blowing smoke into the supers at the top to drive most of the bees down. As the cover is lifted, the bees above the cover may be brushed off with a large feather from a tui-key's wing. After most of the bees have been driven down, the super should be lift- ed at one end, and the bees on the bottom brushed off quickly before any can return. The super can then be carried into a building and stood on end in front of a window so that the remaining bees will leave it and fly to the window, where they make their escape. The mixed Softball team, represent- ing St. John's United Church, tied up the group leadership when they de- feated the Dundalk team 19-15 on the latter's grounds Thursday afternoon of last week. The deciding game will likely be played at Inistioge this Thursday afternoon. Flesherton also won the men's softball game by de- feating Dundalk 9-8 and taking undis- puted leadership in their group. Flesherton Won Boxia Flesherton junior box lacrosse team won their first game played on Wed- nesday evening of last week from a team from Melancthon and Shelburne in the local rink by the score of 15-4. Flesherton led from the start and were never in danger of being over- sau'led. Their passing game was very fair and they proved to be better stick-handlers than their opponents, their shots most of the time being dead on the net. The visitors had difficulty in tuning their sticks to the range and spoiled many scoring chances. The lighting in the rink is not as bright as it might be. but this fault will likely be remedied later. A fair crowd of fans was on hand to view this new game for our district, and were enthusiastic over the way the players conducted themselves after only three weeks of practising. Only two of the players formerly had any experience in playing lacrosse. The players on the teams were: Flesherton â€" Goal, E. Ferris; def- ence. E. Alexander and K. Betts: centre, H. McCutcheon; wings. Bob Phillips and E. Poole; rover, Leslie Ferris; substitutes, Fred Gorrell and j M. Johnston. ! Shelburne â€" Goal. Watters; defence. j W. Watson and M. Eraser; centre. W. i Watson: wings, Jas. Watson and D. i Watson: rover, F. Hunter; subs., Mills ] Ireland ;md Hockley. I Ford V-8 WoD By JJI. Pringle J. H. Pringle of Jackson's Point was the winner of the V-8 Ford coach given uway at tho dance held in Flesherton on Friday evening of last week. Mr. Pringle came for his car on Monday morning. The drawing was made at 11 p.m.. during the dance, and the lucky ticket was drawn by Miss Kathleen Bannon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Bannon of Victoria Cornei-s, after the ticket stubs had been well mixed in a large chum. Mr. Pringle gave .Miss Bannon a suitable reward foi her part in the evening's performance. The largest crowd to attend a street dance in Flesherton was present that evening, but the entertainment pro- vided was marred by a heavy down- pour of rain about 10.30 p.m., which continued for some time. The Black- burn orchestra from Saugeen Jet. provided music for the square danc- ing and Miss Dorothy Foste-.-'s orch- estra for the round dancing, both giving real satisfaction. The local Orange Lodge has realiz- ed quite a large sum of money, which %vill be used for the erection of a new hall for Lodge purposes. Planting Herbaceous Perennials WON JAMIESON MEDAL Renew your subscription now. Clark Saundti-s, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Saunders of town, was the winner of the Dr. Jamieson medal for obtaining the highest marks in South Grey in the recent Entrance examina- tions. â€" Durham Chronicle. In the milder sections of the country \ most perennials can be planted sue- â-  ;essfully until quite late in fall, but| where the winters are severe care , â- hould be taken so that planting is finished several weeks bexore the ground is hard frozen and a mulch of straw or other suitable material applied. Perennials that have been grown from seed sown in spring and trans- planted during the summer should be ready to put in their permanent places | in September. If the ground is dryj water thoroughly so that the soil ad- , heres to the roots when the plants; are lifted. If planting in a border, group three to five plants of each variety together leaving ample space so that each plant can develop to its full size. Iris plants can be divided quite late in September although July and .Aug- ust are generally considered the best time to do this. At the Central Ex- perimental Farm we have found that Iris plants generally begin to show .signs of failing after three or four years. When the flowers begin to grow small the plant should be dug up and the oldest parts of the rhizome discarded. Pieces with several fans of good healthy leaves should be chos- en and three or four can be planted about a foot apart in a clump in a large border. In a small border a single division is sometimes sufficient. The soil where they have to go should ' be well dug and some Lone meal added j before replanting. The roots shouM j be made firm but the rhizomes shouid I be just to the surface of the soil. A j sunny position should be chosen for the tall bearded varieties. i Peony can stay in the same place , for many years, but in time the flow- ; ers begin to fail and grow .smaller I than they used to do. When this ' occurs it is time to move and divide them. September is the best season to do this. If it is possible to give ' them a new bed it is better to do so. I If this cannot be done then the plants I should be dug up and the old soil removed and new, good soil put in I its place. A handful of bonemeal ; for each plant should be mixed in 1 with the new soil. After digging the plant wash off all the soil and divide I the roots as carefully as po.ssible. i Divisions with four or five eyes are ; the best for an ordinary garden 1 though smaller divisions can be made I if a larger number of plants are re- i quired. Peonies should be planted so that there is two inches of soil above the eye. Too deep planting is one of the causes why peonies fail to bloom. ' ; RABBIT LEADS DOG TO DEATH ~^ - - - - *'*-i:i:....- . I ».--i. An unusual happening occurred at the farm of Jack Mason, near .A.mber- ley, on the Bruce-Huron boundary, on Saturday afternoon. A collie dog, in full pursuit of a jackrabbit, ran full into a binder in operation. The rabbit, cleared the machine in a single leap, but the dog got tangled up in the knives, and was so terribly cut that he had to be destroyed. When the machine was brought to a halt the dog had been thrown upon the tahle. Canada and Cuba are preparing to enter a trade pact.
