The Toronto Star Makes Investiga- tion of Its Possibilities. Mr. Scott, a representative of the Toronto Star was in tq^ on Monday with the object of inspecting and writing up Mr. Geo. Brackenbury's snow auto, and securing a demon- stration of its ability to travel on the winter roads. Unfortunately he came just after the fiercest storm of the winter, when there was very little travel of any kind and roads were Very heavy. The demonstration was somewhat unsatisfactory to George for that reason, together with the fact that the snow wings had not been ad- justed to his machine. Several pictures were taken of the invention in various positions and of Mr. Brackenbury, the inventor. These pictures will be published in the Star, after which we are promised the loan of them for The Advance, so that our readers at a distance will see what the "critter" looks like. Mr. Scott returned to Toronto by the evening train. IT WAS A REAL STORM This district was treated to its third terrific storm on Friday last within three weeks and the temperature ran from zero to about 15 below.

CARNIVAL LAST WEEK WAS A BIG SUCCESS The Costiunes Were Of High Order And Numerous In the past few years the Ring Co. has given some chrnivab that were thought to be first class, but the one given on Thursday evening last, in our opinion, was the best held for a long time. Although the maskers were not as numerous as at some others, still, there were 63 maskers on the ice, the ladies predominating. The costumes were of a higher order and showed great care in preparing In the historic or National section the costumes were varied and the judges had a difficult task to choose the best out of some twenty who competed. The costumes included Miss Canada, Miss America, John Bull, Miss China, Miss Holland and others that were splendid. We noticed several cos- tumes that were worthy of a prize but there was no place for them on the list, but, we understand, this will be remedied at the next carnival and a place will be given to all manner of costumes, comic and otherwise. The movie also favored the spectators with their presence, among whom were Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, the former represented by J. H. Hales and the latter by F. W. Bunt, both costumes and actors play- ing their parts well. The judges of the carnival were the two bank managers of town, Mr. C. T. Batty and Mr. W. B. A. Cross, and the task of selecting winners was difficult, but in our opinion their de- cisions were very satisfactory. On account of the condition of the roads the crowd was not as large as was anticipated, the gate receipts amount- ing to a little over $55.00. The following is the list of prize winners : â€" Best dressed Girl under 10 â€" Jean Adams, Alice Heard. Best dressed Boy â€" Emery Fisher, Harold Best. Best Fat Manâ€" Wm. Miller, W. A. Hawken.

SKINS WERE DELAYED SKINS DELAYED IN TORONTO BY POSTAL AUTHORITIES Ask James Dargavel of Rock Mills what he thinks of the postal authori- ties and Fish and Game Department and you will Ukely be treated to a choice sample of indignant criticism, to put it mildly. Before Christmas Jimmy posted two parcels of silver fox skins to the London market for the January sale of furs. The other day he received notice that one of these insured parcels was held in To- ronto because a permit for export had not been attached. An affidavit had also to be secured that the skins were raised on his own ranch here. This notification came one month or more after the furs had been mailed, and they lay in Toronto all the time. As a result Mr. Dargavel missed the January sale, where prices ran higher than they will at any other sale during the year. The second parcel evidently went through without being detained by the postal and cus- toms authorities. The parcels were insured for $100 each. A delay of this kind is certainy enough to make a saint angry. Old Residen Of England Paises Away On Monday Mrs. Wm. C. Hopper of the 8th line, Artemesia, passed away on Mon- day evening, January 28th, after an extended illness, at the age of 73 years. The deceased lady was a native of Cornwall, England, and came to this country with her hus- band in 1871, settling on the farm where she has resided ever since. Her husband, the late Wm. Hopper, pre-deceased her in May of last year. Mrs. Hopper leaves a family of three sons and one daughter living, and one daughter, Sopiiia (Mrs. Jas. Linton), who died 215 years ago. The children living are Charles of New Liskeard, Fred and Mary at home, and Ernest in Toronto. The deceased was a member of the Anglican church and the family was among the raost respected in this district. The funeral took place to Salem burial ground on Wednesday afternoon, where the remains were laid beside those of her husband. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Uneasy Lies The Head ! A writ for $3000 issued by Wm. ( Martin of Orangeville against the i Petrie Cream Separator Co., has caused considerable uneasiness among a number of farmers in this vicinity. During the late fall and summer a flock of high-pressure stock salesmen swept up and down the sideroads and concession lines or this vicinity, and secured, it is said, about $8000 of cash for stock in this concern. Lately they have been confining their ener- gies in the vicinity of Orangeville, where they arranged for a site for the propesed factory and chose certain individuals invariably with a good cash account, as Directors. With the issuing of the WTit the local interested people are becoming suspicious and concerned as to the probability of getting return for their investment It is quite possible good and- suffic- ient reasons may be advanced for the issuance of the writ, but that does not ally the unrest here. â€" Grand Valley- Star. ^ 1 BORN MURRAYâ€" Itt Tonnto am fatur- dsr«> lUHiarsr 26tli, 1084, to D& and M^ Frad Mnrray, a mmu B2tS-2. Hfty Ford Predaminatcs Lo'W First Cost The low price of Ford cars and trucks has been one of the great dynamic forces in the develop- ment of motor transportation. Since January 1920 the average price of Ford products has dropped 38% and Ford prices are now the lowest in the history of the industry. And because Ford prices are so low, the worker and his family enjoy die innumerable benefits and delights of owning an automobile ; the merchant and manufacturer extend tiieir business into new and profitable fields by means of motor delivery; the farmer carries his fresh produce to the best markets with none of the old-time hardship and delay â€" and all for a very small initial investment. Fifty out of every hundred cars and trucks in Canada are Fords â€" due to the public appreciation of Ford value.
