Overland Claremont, Oet. 31. -- There have been several changes in the butiness personnel of our village during the past few years and Jast week an important deal was consumated which will bring sbout further changes, when L. Fingold sold his store and resi- dence to C. A. Overland, who will take possession on Monday, No- vember 2nd. Mr. Fingold has owned and operated a grocery ana dry goods store here for many years, first at North Clare- mont, and later in the busness section of the village, where he now is. Mr. Overland who start- ed in business for himself less than two years ago, plans to in- crease his stock, especially in the dry goods line, when he moves into the larger store. Mr, Fingold will move his family to Aurora, where he will be associ- ated In business with his two tons who opened a general store there a few months ago. Dur- ing the past two weeks he has been selling his stock on hand at great reductions. The remain- der will be transferred to the Aurora store. Mr. and Mrs. Fin- gold and family have made many friends here who are sorry that they have decided to leave Clare- mont and who wish that thrd mont, and who wish them every ruccess and happiness in their new home. Football Games The two football games ar- ranged by football enthusiasts to decide the prowess of Goodwood and Clarement teams have both been played. The first at Good- wood on October 21st resulted in a tle, each team scoring a goal, and the second at Claremont on October 28th, also resulted in a tie. There were a large numper of spectators at the game played here as it was on the evening of the same day that the Ontario Plowing Match was held. Gate receipts were $32. A purse of $50 had been arranged for the winning team and since both weré equal, we are wondering about the $50. The weatherman has done his best to make the autumn season a delightful one this year. The wz @ay of October fs here and we are loath to see the month iepart with its balmy air, glor- four autumn tints and more than usual amount of bright sunshine, mingled with sufficient rain to prevent drouth.

COMMUNITY PARTY FOR HALLOWE'EN AT THORNTON'S Delightful Event Held at Home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sully (Mrs. G. H. Robinson, Correspondent) Thornton's Corners, Nov. ¢--On Friday evening a community Hallo- we'en party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sullys 'I'he guests were all amusingly arrayed in costumes suitable to the occa+ sion, 'I'o enter the house the guests, in couple, passed through some weird experiences. Having gone down the outer cellar stairs into inky black- ness and having crawled through piles barrels and over piles of bags of potatoes and boxes, the couple were met by ghosts unexpectedly. Indeed ghosts were turning up with amazing frequency aal hideous moans echoed through the dismal darkness. After a few more adven= tures the couples were lead up in into the house.

All the pupils wore costumes. The first prize was won by Wilfred Pastoe and Victor Bur~ roughs won second place. Then one pupil was chosen and unknown to the others, disguised and the pa- pers from kisses were sewn all over her costume. These the other pu- pils had to bite off, their hands tied behind them. The one succeeding in getting the most papers won a prize of candy kisses. The prize- winner was Frank McClure and the Mystery Person was disclosed to to Frances Robinson. Refreshments of candy, cake and pic were served to the hungry youngsters. On Saturday evening dozens of small boys and girls and no doubt some older ones were out for an evening of jokes by removing gates signs, etc, but they did no geal damage. The revellers were fed at the various houses on candy and apples. Following is the school report for U.S.5.

Folger, of New York, to scholars of the United States. Rare first folios and quartos num- bering 350 arrived recently -- and they will continue to come until the 75,000-volume collection is complete, the world's greatest gathering of Shakespeariana. The strict surveil. lance which guards them, from theft also makes possible that Folger's life-time hobby be carried to com- pletion as quietly as he acquired his books. Few knew he collected un. til a short time before his death. Already the exterior is complete in its decorations to the tiny, oft- repeated harp motif that signifies the bard. The landscaping is set as completely as though the shrubbery and lawns had been growing for years. Three of the nine sculp- tured between-window panels of Shakespear's plays are done. Cur- tains are hung, and the rich red furniture of the reading room is set. But the memorial won't be op- ened for months. With the public excluded, librarians and decorators will work through the winter so that the library may be opened next spring or summer--a perfect thing. But a slim de luxe volume, private- ly printed, in the Library of Con- gress, a memorial to Folger's death June 11, 1930, is key to what is be- mg placed behind those closed doors. Rarest treasures are énum- erated: "The greatest prize" was said to be the unique Titus Andronicus of 1594, found in a peasant's cottage in Sweden in 1904 and purchased by Folger for 2000 pounds. It was valued by him later at ten times that price. "Dearest to Folger's heart" was the description given to the first folio, of which he owned 80 copies among 195 extant. "Most precious book in the world," in Folger's opinion, was the honor ascribed to a first folio of extreme size discov- ered in a dusty coach house in Eng- land in 1891. "Most complete sur- prise to scholars" was the promise held out for the source and Allision books, while theatre-folk were en- couraged to look forward to the "prompt copics" of great actors. The place of the memorial in Washington's scheme was set forth by William Adams Slade, librarian, who ranked it with Washington Monument and Lincoln -Memorial, He gave it "the prologue" role in symbolizing United States history. For Folger himself was indicated a shrine--"His dust will repose in the marble temple that will rise at Washington--his. spiritual presence will overshadow it," Dr. S, Parkes Cadman said, at Folger's funeral.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY INSTALMENT VIII Her face burned, her hands were icy, her confused mind was only a blur, and her heart one heavy, un- €ndurable ache, - It had been pretty bold of her to question him, to rebuke him about Paula Younger, After all, it was Joe's affair, | Her thoughts burned, stung, writh- ed together. The one unbearable thought was that the Lalf-past five o'clock 'whistle would sound, and Murphy begin to close the big joint- ed iron grills against the world, and that she would have to go home-- what else could she do?--heart- broken and alone, and bear the week-end with Joe "med" at her. He had already been elevated to the offices, which were placed in a position of some dignity and se- clusion, on a mezzanine deck at the far rear of the store. Sometimes, when a customer brought in a defective article, Mag- gle had to guide her upstairs to the window marked "Complaints," and once or twice other errands had taken her to the offices. But she had no excuse to-day. She turned the knob of the glass door rather timidly, and saw Joe standing at the window in the back of the room, with Simmonds, a buy- er, both intent upon the inspection of some sort of material. "What is it?" Simmonds asked Maggle faltered, sharply. "Excuse me." "but is Miss Pope up here?" Simmonds cante toward her. And Joe--as she saw with a sinking heart--casually turned away and be- gan to study a Noated, bursting book of "swatches." "Was Miss Pope up~here?" Sim- monds asked. "Miss Pope, "Joe said, in a quiet voles, "is ¢awnstairs in the music department." Maqzie's face was very red, she looked only at the older man. "I didn't see her there," she sald thickly. And somehow she got herself out of the glass door again, and some- how flew down the stairs, and was feverishly busy instantly with a large cardboard box of lockets and chains, in the jewellery departinent. And all the while her heart pounded as if it would hammer her to pleces and her shamed thoughts almost suffocated her, "He knew I went up there to talk to him--whatll he think I am! He didn't want to speak to me at all-- and I bluffed that Miss Pope was up there--he seen right through me! He saw right through me, Oh I wish I was dead! I can't have him thinking like that about me! I wish I was dead. What'll I do? I can't ever look him in the face again" She was standing at an angle of the jewellery counter that was plac ed In a sort of niche between col- umns. Suddenly she knew that a tall, lean man was lounging on the toun- ter beside her, his shoulder almost touching her own. "Still mad at me?" voice. "Joe--" Her voice wouldn't come. "Joe, don't be mean to me" she sald In a low tone, holding her words steady, not raising her eyes. "Was I mean to you, Maggie?" Of course--of course you're not Joe! 'It's just that I'm--I'm an Idiot! It's none of my business who you lunch with--and I'm sorry I-- blew up." "It is your business, if you care, Maggle," he said, nicely, kindly, even a little gruffy, "But I am going not to eare" Joe experienced a queer little twinge of pain. She looked so small, so weary ,80 exquisitely pretty in this soft light, and she was such a lov- ing little thing! "I'm glad we're friends again" he sald awkwardly. "Yes, I am, too." "I couldn't of stood it," she con- fessed. The other employees of the Mack were streaming through the side door when Maggle came flying up from the locker room. Joe was ling- ering at the top of the stairs, "I thought I'd walk with you to the corner." "Oh, that's grand! Which way do you go, ?" "Down past the city--out on the} Eimingdale road." "Then you want the Ten car." His arm was under her elbow, and she gave him once more the delicious sensation of nearness, confidence, and sweet smallness and youth, He had never seen her so delic- fously pretty, so small and loving and enchanting. She d hardly keep her little feet on the ground. Tired? Depressed? Hungry? Not when Joe Grant, tall and lean and protective and most appreciative, was beside heér, was guiding her It was Joe's Her. jump, bounce, and dance step. Joe had to laugh sympathetically at the laughing face, the eager eyes that demanded his sympathy. "This is my corner, Joe." His steps: had been quite automa- tically turned toward that particul- ar oulet block whera he had park- ed his roadster. They were clote to the handsome. low-slung car now. , "Here's some feller left his road- | ster here," Joe sald. "You'd wonder he'd have any business in this neighbourhood," the girl innocently commented. "How far away do you live Mag- 2" "Oh, not so far. Pop and I walk it every morning. "Bout--I think it's thirteen blocks." Joe had palmed his key. "Want me to run you home in this car?" "I get so sick of my automobile, it's a treat to me to walk!" Maggie ariswered him. She was horrified when he slipped into the machine, and challenged her cheerfully. "Joe Grant, get out of that car! D'you want to be sent to jail?" "Oh, come on, get in, Maggie-- don't be so scary." "But Joe, isn't it locked?" "Nope. Key right here! Get In, Maggie, and---listen! I'll bring' fit back to the other end of the block and let him hunt for it awhile, to teach him a lesson about forgetting to lock it!" "Joe you could be sent to jau for that!" "Oh, come on--it won't take five minutes!" In the end, she yielded. ejaculated. "Now I've sald it! This is the first time that word has come into our conversations, snd I'm the one that nirodused it." Maggie cleared her throa "I've had a grea! deal of responsi- bility in my life. and there is noth~ ing so developing to the as responsibility," she began. "Since I was ten years old, I've been tryin to earn a litle an' spend a little Jess, to bear wrongs patiently. Pop says he's always been anxious to live the ide-al life, too, but he never thought it could be done on a post wan's salary." "Listen, Maggie. Listen, darling "Since Christmas" she wens on. "it's been you, Joe. Eve 1 done--everything I've done," she cor rected it, "has been done because I was thinkin' of you." He caught her small agitated hands and held them tightly. "Maggie, just be quiet deaf. There's no ned ofr you to get 80 excited and upset. Listen, dear. 1 like you immensely. I think you have more character than any girl I ever knew.

"J-J-Joe Grant" she said, breath Ye : "Maggie how'd you like to own a car like this, and have a big, fluffy white fur coat, and be riding along here this way--down to Elmingdale, or the Westbeaoh Arms, or one of those fashionable places?" "Joe, b'leeve me, I've seen girls do both ways, and there's nothing in letting fellers buy you coats and take you out riding. You don't | mind being poor, do ycu, Jo2?" she | asked anxiously, "Don't you?" "1? Why, but what else would I be?" she demanded blanlly. "Don't you ever thin! of yourself | as rich, with heaut'fv! clothes, and {a maid, and a *'~ ec mfortable | room?" He glanced cideways. "I think of mysell as straight" { she said briefly. "Anyway, we're pretty near living the idee! life now, and my father says that all day long he thinks | | about--our house, and how nice and {shady and quiet the kitchen Is, {and all the new dish towels--" "We're getting out of debt, and even Liz said it was some comfort to come home to our house now-- and she s-s- said--Liz sald--that s-s-she--" "Maggie! For heaven's sake! What are you crying about?" "Be-because--because they raid I did it, Joe! Even Ma sald that I made them all comfortable--and happler--and it--it makes me cry to have them love me so!" He abruptly ran the car into the curb, and stopped 1t there, and put his arms about her, and tipped up her face. "Now, look here, stop fr. Stop this bawling right away, or you'll have me crying too." His big arm held her tightly, jammed against him, and her bewil- dered, ecstatic tear- 8 tained rosy face was close to his won, "J-J-Joe Grant!" she said breath- lessly. "Maggie Johnson! You've known this was coming, haven't you?" © "J-Joe Grant!" "Surprised?" "No--but--but--I guess--maybe I thought--" "Go on. Don't stop. Maybe you thought what?" "I thought you were kinder--kid- ding me along." It was at this juncture that for a terrible moment Joe Grant disap- peared from his own consciousness for a few seconds, and the Joseph Merrill who was a truant from college, who belonged to the same world as this smart roadster, took his place, To play a part was all very well insomuch as it concerned only him- self, But here was this bewildering little madcap armful of passionately earnest feminity in his arms, her tear-soaked lashes almost touching his cheek, her whole being only too obviously ready to yield itself to his guardship forever, How on earth was he going to get out of this with Maggie Johnson? 'When he spoke, his tone and man- ner had subtly altered. "Why shouldn't I kid you along?" he said, "You're toe much of a kid yourself to get mixed up in love affairs?"

On this committee were named no repre- sentatives of the Nationalist party nor students of negro blood. The latter groups were greatly incens- ed at what they considered an in- sult and drew up a monster peti tion which they sent to-the chan- cellor of the University of Porto Rico, Dr. Carlos Chardon, The chancellor at once suspénd- ed about 200 students for periods ranging from two years to life, and there followed a terrific out- cry all over the island. So serious did matters become that the chan- cellor decided to reinstate most of the petitioners, although a few remain unpardoned and without the university walls, Meanwhile the McGill debaters, blissfully unconscious of the trou- ble they were causing, returned victoriously to Canada.
