®hje fks\)txim %hmtiu* Vol. 5-^; X(j. 14. W'EDXHSDAY, SHPTEMIUCR 12, 1934 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietor* Agnes Macphail Is ain Candidate Will Run As U.F.O.-Tabor Candidate In Riding i)i Ore V- Bruce VOTE UNANIMOUS Will Hold Series Of Thirty Meetings in Riding Miss A. C. Maaphail, M.P., was the unanimous choice of the U.F.O.- Labor convention held in Hanover on Friday afternoon, as their candidHCe for the newly-formed riding of Grt-i- Bruce at the next federal election. This was the fifth unanimous nomin- ation received by Miss Macphail, no other name being mentioned as a possible candidate. The Hanover town hall was well filled with delegates from all over the riding, which is about 50 miles long and 3 miles wide and contains some 35,000 voters. W. H. Hunter, reeve of Egremont and president of the U.F.O. of Grey- Bruce, presided over the meeting. Mr. Scott, president of the United Farmers of Ontario, spoke and de- clared that at no time since Confed- eration has independent thought and action been needed as at the present time, since neither of the major part- ies will fight for what the masses need. If things go on, the speaker declared, hundreds of farmers will be forced to abandon their farms. The A STORY FOR A TORY I have a brother-in-law in North York, a North of Ireland Orangeman. Politically he runs true to breed, is the bitterest of all Tories. He visited me last week. Just now he is as sore as a boiled owl over the result of the election. I bantered him considerably and would keep talking on election matters, much to his chagrin. Finally he landed me, literally, a kijk in the ribs. We were driving along over the Mar section, where the crop of hay is fairly good. We got talking hay for the moment. Finally he remarked that he heard that Hepburn had com- menced purchasing an awful lot of hay this year. This remark excited my curiosity and I bit readily and enquir- ed what in the world Hep. wanted hay for and this was his answer: "To feed all the jackasses who voted for him last month." Then for a long time I thought and thoug'ht of how I could get back at him. But I'll get even with him yet. â€"Ex. New Inspector Is Grey County Boy Inspector Geo. E. Pentland ol Han- over, newly appointed for South Grey day is coming when Canadians will called on friends in town on Fridav pay higher for farm produce, whether they like it or not. W. Nicholson, vice-president of the U.F.O. thought the condition of agri- culture will be the greatest problem to come before the House at the next Parliament. He declared that the old two-party system is falling down and independent action is needed. Atex. Sims of Holstein, ex-Premier of the Boys' Parliament, stated that he was not in favor of either the U. F.O.-Labor or either of the major parties, as he was devoting his life to organizing a Christian Social party, as ho feels there is not enoagh religion in politics. Mr. H. H. Han- nam, secretary cf the U.F.O., also spoke, as did Farquhar Oliver, M.P. P., who stated that more important legislation will pass through the next Parliament than for the past 20 years. Included in the legislation will be monetary reforms and mass reforms that have been advocated by U.F.O. and Labor groups for years. In her nomination speech Miss Ifacphail stated that when first elect- ed in l'J21 sha was one of a group ot 65 whijh formed the first group of any size that had ever attended Pari- iament outside of the two major parties. She thougiht that Macken- zie King was lucky to have been the Prime Minister between 1921 and 1929, when times were good. Now there is just as great a swing against Bennett as there was against Kins in 1030. She decleared that Prenr«i Bennett will have cause to remembei a speech of his some time ago, when he said "Tis gcod to be purified by the fires of adversity." She also de- clared that Mackenzie King could "do nothing with more style" than any person she ever saw. The condition of labor affects the farmers, Miss Macphail contiRued, foi if the labor glass are on relief who is to buy the bulk of the farm products ? The fight (or the common people must coime from outside the major parties. If she thought that she could have done as good work for the common class in ei(|>er of the major parties, she would have joinerf them. In closing^ Miss Macphail declared that she did not belong to the C.C.F., but was strictly independent, with no leaning towards the Liberal party, and she certainly was not ConserTat- election would come, but she intended to give a series of 30 addresses throughout the riding within the next few months. while on business conjerning the- teachers' convention.

Grey County Teams Win At Exhibition Last Wednesday three boys, Harold Atkins of Heathcote, Carl Fulford of Clarksbui-g and Geo. Ward of Clarks- burg, all members of the Beaver Val- ley Calf Club, in competition with three boys from 11 beef calf clubi- exhibiting their calve; at the C.N.E. won 1st, 2nd and 3rd awards. It ws.- a remarkable win. No other county duplicated this success. This iravc the Calf Club first place in the county seri"s. , In showmanship, Carl Fuiiory won first, Harold Atkins was sixt!: and Geo. Ward took seventh place. Thus the boys were high again. Harold Atkins had a calf from hi.- father's herd, Carl Fulford had cnv from the herd of T. P. Armstrong and Geo. Ward had one from the herd of Burton Carefoot. The exhibit re- flected great credit upon the owners' herds, as well as upon the young men >vhose ages vary from M to 18 years The boys looked after their calves from birth until they won honors. In the judging competition Harve\ Fligg, iWoodford, past President of the Meaford Junior Farmers, won first in the judging .of swine. Last year this same young man won first in judging sheep. Orville Skippen, Heathcote, won 12th place in judging beef cattle. The girls were also represented. Mary Johnston, Meaford, won eighth pla.'e in judging clothing. The Grey Ccunty Girls' Team, comprised of Madg2 Aber:rombie and Mildred Pat- erson of Meaford and Lyla Gillies ol Bognor did well in competition with 28 teams. The Grey County Department o! .Agriculture. Markdale, congratulates the beys and girls on their wonderful success. The only regret is that more boys and girls do not partici- pate in the Junior Farmer work of which the Calf Clubs are but one part of the program. FARMERS MUST PRODUCE Tj the man in the street, any at- tempts to increase production in thfi- days of depressing world surpluses- seem a waste of time, or even worse. He forgets, says Mr. L. II. Neman Dominion cerealist, that the problem of the individual farmer differ.s vastly from that of the nation as a whole, in that the capa*ty of the farmer to carry on and pay his way is measured in no small degree by the yields he realizes per acre. To the farmer, the acre is his unit of production. If his average yields per acre, whechei converted into milk, mutton or beef, or disposed of in their raw state, are not sufficiently high to enable him to meet his obligations, he must either succumb entirely or be forced to adopt a standard cf living which re- J.

Kimberley operwd the scoring ir the first inning when Len Haines was shoved across the plate on a hit by Hatch, but the lead was of short dur- ation and Durham tied up the game in the second. The score remained in this condition until the seventh, the lujky seventh, when Kimberley again took the l".id on three hits an;* an error off Smith, scoring Smith ant' Dillon to make the final count 3-1. Durham had no answer for this bracr of runs, as their batters were inef- toctive against Smith, who jnjoyed one of his good days on the momnd. This win for Kimberley put the gore hunting lor deer in the north for manv years and is in favor of doors being uosd in hunting, as also is G B. Welton of town, who is chairman cf the exe.-tttive committee of the Association. Mr. Welton was also in favor of the local open season foi bucks only and the use of dogs here as well as in the northern districts.

The accident occurred at the Alcox curve, three and a haVf miles north of Flesherton, when the truck skidded o« the slip- pery road and npeet into the ditch.

"On( is agricultural education for all thi young of farming areas; the seconi s lower interest rates, and the thic, is more and better markets for the Oarmor. The farmer must have low- er interest rates, and right away. It is time the money lender took a share of the loss, and he's going to have tc take it within a few months." Mr. Marshall, speaking of proposed deveU pment of markets, said England would be one of the best of markets not only for beef and dairy cattle, but for other products. He condemn- ed men v/ho have exploited the farm- er, paying $50 tc $75 for cattle for export.
