Theso old servants of the county are en- titled to some such recognition be- fore they pass on to a more fitting reward. Who will start the ball rolling ? Y. P. S. Conceit The Young People's Society of St. John's United church, Flesherton gave a most enjoyable concert on Fri- day evening of last week. A sing song, led by Bi: Bryce, open- ed the program and everybody joined in to see who could sing the best, and left everybody in a happy frame of mind to enjoy the program. Rev. W. J. Scott gave an address and con- gratulated Miss Hazel Inkster, the president, on the wonderful success of the Young People's Society. The male quartette sang four lovely spirit- ual selections at different intervals on the program, and Mrs. E. C. Mur- ray gave a reading, entitled 'The Courtship of George and Alice." Six of the junior members of the Sunday school sang a couple of song, accom- panied by Miss Jean Wolsteneroft at the piano, followed by a saxaphone selection by Mr. Royden McDonald, accompanied by Miss Betty Murray. Miss Aleda Mitchell sang "Angel Land" which was enjoyed very much. The Pic'sr orchestra gave s'^veral ft'plendidi selections throughout the evening. Tv.o moving pictures wei*e then enjoyed, the first being "!rhe Clinic", the second, "Rob Roy," a scene fi-om the works of Sir iWalter Scott. Both of the pictures were enjoyed to the utmost. At the close of the entertainment Mr. Scott tendered a vote of thanks to Mr. ,^r. S. Cooper of Markdale for his assistance in providing the amu-^e- menit for the evening. He also thanked Mr. Wright, who was suc- cessful in securing the other picture from Toronto, and also the other members who took part in the pro- gram. |rhe reccigts for the evening after expenses were paid would a- mount to about $20.00.

North Grey Tories We note that our friend, Jimmie Jackson, is head of the North Grey Liberal-Conservative Assn. This would indicate that the hard-working farmer memiber for North Grey, Mr. Wm. Noore Died Monday Afternoon Was Stricken While At The Station â€" Resident Here For 45 Yeju-s With tragic suddenness word was flashed through the village on Mon- day afternoon that William Moore had passed away suddenly at Ceylon while in the discharg-e of his duties as mail carrier. He had left town for the four train apparently in his usual health and when he arrived at Ceylon he was stricken with a heart attack and passed away in the sta- tion house in the presence of the doc- tor only about ten minutes after his arrival at the station. Dr. Milne stated that death was due to a stroke. .â- Apparently he had taken the stroke while on the road and drove his car until he reached his destination and was only able to leave the car and stand on the station platform. Mr .A.rchie Sinclair, C.P.R. agent, assist- ed hira inside the building and called the doctor, who was unable to aid him. The late Mr. Moore was 66 Vic Porteous, will find a more loyal year's of age and was born in Nor- bunch of workers behind him than 1 '"anl^y township, the son of the late has been.

Had Enjoyable Time At Toronto Social in the county capital and naturally is a supporter of action from the pricc-spixad affair. The recent Provincial affair has al- ready begun to come back in favoi of the Conservatives, and dismissals from office of efficient men has ar- rous?d resentment even among decent Liberals. Interference with law en- forcement and even reaching out after the Old Age Pension and Moth- er's Allowance administration, the local board of strategy are getting in wrong with the best men of their own party. It is a safe bet in Owen the late Thos. Smith of Durham and 45 years ago came to Flesherton anu for a number of years conducted a harness business, which he had pur- cliased from the late' David Clayton selling his business 27 years ago to Mr. 0. \V.

UNEXPECTEDLY The other day we noticed the fol loling: modern version of Gray's "El egy": . "The curfew tolls the knell of part ing day, The line of cars winds swiftly o'er thd lea. The pedestrian plods his absent- minded way And leaves the world quite unex pectcdly." Flesherton High School has accept- ed an invitation to enter a scholastic hockey league composed of teams from Owen Sound, Chesley, Hanover Durham and Flesherton. Cheap Fee<^- For Crate Finishing Of Poultry A Remarkable Holstein A 13-yoar-old Holstein cow that on N'cvember 23vd gave birth to her 13th lively calf, and that has in her life- time produced 107,750 pounds of mil!; and 4,395 jjounds of butter, is some- thing worth while to talk about and much more worth while to see. This is the record of Cola nth:' Toitilla O.A.C. 1118 9 G.M., a cow bred at the O.A.C, Gtrelph. and still in the college herd along with sevcii of her own daughters. Three times she has borne twins and seven times single calves. Colantha Toitilla represents sevei"al eenerations of college bretding. Hei sire, Sir Paul Colanthus, was former herd sire at the O.A.C. and was a double grandson of the famous found- ation cow, Pauline Colantha Posch Her dam was a college bred cow Toitilla Rue II., with a four-year-old record of 15.253 pounds of milk and 55-1 pounds of butter fat, and was sired by Jo'nanna Rue IV's Lad. This cow is a splendid e-'^ample oi a combination cf production and re- production. She and her offsprino will be much in evidence in the dem- onstrations during the agricultural conference and short course at the college, January 2nd to llth. when scores of Ontario's best young farm- ers will convene to discuss their prob- lems and to enjoy ten days of real college lifo. Bought Grocery Business Tuesday evening of this week Mr Kfn G. Betts purchased the grocery, flour and feed business in Flesherton from Mr. Jas. A. Stewart Jim has conducted the business for the pasl 13 years and has given good sei'viee to his many customers, who are sorry to see him retire from the business life of the villagf. At the same time a welcome is tendered to Mr. Betts and that success will crown his ef- forts in his new business. In experiments in crate finishing of poultry, it has been found that bujk- whtat screenings or standard reclean- ed screenings, a by-product fi'om ths grain elevators consisting largely of wild buckwheat and broken wheat with a small admi.xture of wild oats, flaxseed and other weed seeds, give erccellent i-esults both to quality and quality of flesh. It was also shown in these experiments that small un- marketable- potatoes may be u.«ed to advantage in crate feeding. Fed in conjunction with home-grown grains these potatoes gave as economical trains as corn, producing bettor color ;ind finer quality in skin and flesh. The potatoes may be fed either boilid and mashtd, or raw and finely chopp- ed, and mixed with the ground grain- and milk. A large crowd attended the annual "At Home" of the Flesherton Old Soys' and Girls' Association held in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on Thursday evening of last week, but attendance was lower than last year and the committee will be fortunate in meeting expenses. However those who attendcKl had a most enjoyable evening meeting with old friends, but many others who usually attend tht gatherings were missed and their placets could not be filled by others. A splendid delegation attended from Flesherton, among the number being Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Welton, Mrs. Chas. Ball, .Mi-.^. .Mark Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Bellamy, Mr. and .Mrs. G. A. McTav- ish, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Thurston. Mr. Chas. Stewart, Carl Carruthers, Mrs. W. E. Mor.gan, Vtrnon St,ewart, Miss Dewar, Mrs. Jas. Bealty, Miss Irene Martin, Mr. Geo. Mitchell and Miss Aleda, and .Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hill. Dancing was indulged in by most of those in attendance, among those present being Hon. I. B. Lucas, Dr E. K. Richardson, .A.lex. Gibson, Chas. McTavish, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Wilson of St. Catharines, Will McFarland, the active wbrkei-s of the Association and a host of others who formerly resided in these parts, but space will not permit renumerations. Beside.-? the dan'jing, progressive euchre wa.- he!d and Mr. E. Elliksr won the men's prize with Mr. Jas. Field taking sec- ond prize. Mrs. Jas. Field went Jim one better and took first prize with Miss Jean McLennan second. Dr. Meldrum Lt-gard and Miss Isabelle McDonald v.^ere the winners of the lucky partner dance. Don Roman- elli's orchestra played for the danc- ing and Frank Phillips called for the square dancing. The weather was fine for the dele>- gation from Flesherton and most ot them were home by .5 a.m., but we will not state whOT they were fit for their business duties. The evening was greatly enjoyed by those present and many remarks were heard that the event was the best yet held.
