THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JULY 25. ia34 1 Thieves Stole Tools And Parts From D. McTavish & Son Garage Broke In Early Tuesday And Reaped Big Haul of Tools Accessories Amounting To $800 In Value MEL. SLED'S LOSS $180 Entered By Rear Window And Picked Their Booty Tools and parts to the amount ot about 1800 were stolen from the gar- age in town owned by D. McTavish and Son, early Tuesday morning ol *his week. Entrance was made through a window at the rear of the garage, from which a pane of glass was removed and the thieves left the premises by the rear door. Mr. Mel. Sled, one of the mechanics, lost his entire set of tools of the latest pat- tern, which cost him $180, while Mr. Ray Woods, had a smalj set stolen valued at about $25. It is thought that the robtiery occurred between the hours of two and four a.m. Provin- cial constable Noble and Cook of Owen Sound were called and conducted an investigation. A little Boston bulldog, owned by Mr. Royden McDonald, was sleeping in the garage and is now also missing. It is surmised that the thieves either took the dog with them or else quieted her when '.'.le raised an alarm and dumped her oil' on the side of the road. A radiator ornament and gas tank cover of a new Chevrolet car in stock were also taken. Discovery of the robbery was made when Mr. Woods opened the garage Tuesday morning for business and the rear door, with a broom propped against it, partially open. He then noticed that the tool kits were miss- ing and promptly, notified his em- ployers of the facts and a call was sent in for the police. A check made in the parts department showed that valuable items were missing and it appeared as if those who were re- sponsible for the robbery knew what they were after and where it was kept. The garage was closed for the night at about 10.30 p.m. and Mr. Sled wah in the garage at about midnight and everything was in good order at that time. A light was observed by a nearby resident at about 2 a.m., but attention was not paid, as it was ex- pected that members of the garage staff wera there on a call. This is the second time this gar- age has been entered by thieves, the other one being three years ago this November, when an entrance was made through a side window. ROCK MILLS LADIES' AID The Baptist Ladies' Aid met on July 18th, at the home of Mrs. Chas. Hanley with 12 members and 8 vis- itors present.

Smith struck out 20 Fiesherton batt- a short program was enjoyed, after which the meeting opened by singing "What can wash away my sin?" Rev. Wolstencroft read a chapter from Luke and then led in prayer. Collec- tion amounted to $2.20 The closing hymn was "Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour," after which lunch was serv- ed. PICNIC JOTTINGS Everybody is looking forward to a real full day's fun and enjoyment at the Old Home Picnic on Civic Holi- day. Just think! (Water sports on the pond in the forenoon.

The same efficient committee which has so successfully arranged ideal weather on former occasions is again in charge this year and hope to re- peat their success, but in case it rains the dance will be held in the Frater- nal Hall. Where could you spend a lietter day than in Fiesherton on Civic Holiday? Works A Dead Game Fifteen years ago, when a French soldier, believed to have been killed in the war, turned up, there was gen- eral rejoicing in his native town, and none were more delighted to see him than his family. Now the family i? forced to recognize that they were the victims of an amazing imposture. In 1917 the family of Maurice Laval, a machine gunner, received intimation that he had died in captivity in Ger- many as the result of wounds sus- •tained at Verdun. A pension was allowed to the wife and three child- ren. Some time after the armistice, the iamily was astonished to see the dead man appear. Nevertheless, there were some who thought if this were Widoed Maurice Laval, his war experiences had changed him in many ways. The man had the papers to establish his claim, ana n»41ifcary auth- orities did not seem disposed to qiK>s- tiom it until a short time ago when information was received from Ger- many. This was to the effect that the supposed Laval was, in reality, an infantry soldier named Thibaut, who bore a re.seniblance to Laval, with whom he had been in captivity foi over a year. Without saying any- thing to the supposed Laval, the mil- itary authorities invited the widow of Thibaut to come to Nancy, and when she saw the man she promptly identified him as her missing hus- band. When taxed with the decep- tion the man admitted it, saying that he and his real wife had been un- happy together. He had fallen in love with Laval's wife after seeing her photograph in possession of his comrade and had decided to profit by the other's death to assume his ident- ity. Despite the man's confession and po«itiv« identification as Thibaut, La- val's family still maintain he is Laval »nd will not surrender their rights in him. What has complicated the mat- ter is the fact that in the belief that her husband was dead, Madame Thi- baut married again, aad had several children by the second husband. Start the big day right with the events at the pond at 9:45 a.m., as follows : Races for boys and girls up to 15 years, six special diving events catching the duck, tub race, water- melon race, log rolling contest. A speuial event will be a water polo game between the Toronto visitor and the home team. Good prizes and lots of them. Come down to the pond and laugh; get into good humoi for the whole big day. Phillips. He allowed one walk While Smith was making his season's record Fiesherton players failed to tighten up and six errors were mark- ed up against them, while Colling- wood had only one. Phillips did well in the box and fanned four Colling- wood players, one of the best games he has had to his credit this year Reg. Button relieved him after fcui runs had been scored in the sixth and held Collingwood scoreless for the re- mainder of the game, striking out the last five men to face him and in re- tiring the side in the sixth was cred- ited with two more. Hutton can coast along nicely for a few innings, but his wing is not the same as it was a few years ago when he won the championship of the League in a whiirlwinri finish, even if he can stand the opposing players on theii heads in their efforts to swing the war club effectively. Following is the box score: FLESHERTON AB R H PC Ontario Cattle Raisers Organize For Exporting County organization meetings ol beef cattle rai.ser» are now being held throughout the interested districts in Western Ontario. Middlesex and Wellington led off a short time ago, while within the last fortnight Kent. Lambton, Huron and Bruce, each have held meetings. The remaining in- terested counties are organizing short- ly. The meetings are being held to form county organizations to be later co-ordinated into an Ontario Cattle Export Association. Dairy cattla raisers interested in export will also be represented on the Association. The object of the Association is to restore confidence and stability in the export market among beef and dairy cattle raisers of both pure breds and commercial grades. Facilities for providing means within the As- sociation for direct exjKjrt of cattle along lines followed so successfully by Ontario apple and honey produc- ers are also being carefully consid- ered.

Coarse grains, the acre- age of which has been considerably increased to supplant the feed short- age, ai'e filling out well. Corn has improved with the warm weather and shows satisfactory growth and color. Pastures show improvement but still need moi-e moisture. The yield of canning peas will be less than nor- mal. Tomato plants arc coming a- long nicely and forming well. Root crops are promising with the excep- tion of sugar beets which are patchy and a poor yield is foreshadowed. Damage to orchards due to winter kill was more severe than anticipated and light crops of apples, peaches pears and plums are indicated. To- bacco plants are showing good growth but due to the activity of the cut- worm a small percentage of the crop will be spotty and in Norfolk County some scattered damage has resulted from winds. 2b.
