.Wednesday, May 21st, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE I Mrs. George Trueman FleshertOn Advance Pasw. Away in Toronto W. H. THURSTON. L_ Editor WILL HAVE HALF HOLIDAY We are glad to know that the bus- iness men and merchants of town have decided to hold the Thursday half holiday during June, July and 'August this year. We are sure that the arrnnK'ement will work out satis- factorily to them here, as it has in other places. To make it a success the people are asked to do their shopping Thursday morning and let the clerks get away at 12 sharp. Of course it would have been better to have had the holiday along with the other towns on the same day, but we will see how Thursday works out this year before a change is made. A little recreation during the week will do everybody a world of good. Mrs. George Trueman of Toronto and formerly of Flesherton died on Friday last at the age of 62 years. The remains were brought here by the noon train on Monday and inter- ment took place in the Meaford Road Cemetery. The deceased passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Short, and a short service was held there on Sunday evening. Mrs. Trueman's maiden name was Mary Ann HoUey and wa« a daughter of the late Adam HoUey, and a sister of Mrs. D. McLeod of Priceville. She also has one sister living in Owen Sound. The deceased lady leaves five children to mourn their loss â€" Will of Hamilton, Ethel, Lida (Mrs. Short) and Russell, all of Toronto, and Earl in Michigan. One son, Oscar, was killed on the hydro line at Chatsworth a few years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Short, Ethel and Russell accompanied the remains here. Priceville Prize Lists Out WAS IT FROM .MARS? For a long time scientists have spec- ulated and discussed the subject of communication with the Martians. A member of the staff suggests that the ball of metal which fell at Meaford might with a degree of justification be accepted as evidence that the in- habitants of that interesting planet are shooting at us. Another knotty question for the scientists to explode or accept. j Priceville Agricultural Society are â-  taking time by the forelock this year, ; thereby heading off any compaint that ] "we did not get the prize list in time." i The lists are now in the hands of the _ Secretary, Mr. T. A. M. Ferguson, I Priceville. from whom the" can be < secured. The show takes place I Thursday and Friday, October 2 and ' 3, 1924. HAS WRONG INFORMATION The Paisley Advocate says rabbits used to be found only in the bush, now they infest farm and garden, bark, fruit trees, etc., and are protected by the game laws. The Advocate must be slightly behind in its reading. The hare still inhabits the bush only, while his relative, the cottontail, is and al- ways has been a dweller in the open and a terror on fruit trees and gard- ens wherever he is found. It is only within the past fifteen years that he has travelled as far north as this. Neither the hare or cottontail are now protected by law. The cottontail never was protected. Therefore the Advocate's censure on the Department of Game and Fisheries falls rather limp. FINES AT DURHAM Charged with being intoxicated while attending a farewell gathering at My. Wm. S. Atchison's, Egremont, on March 9th last, at which they were unbidden guests, Messrs Adrian Noble and j^enjamin Woods were summoned to a|)pear before Mag. Laidlaw last SaVOrday afternoon. A brother of Woods was also implicated but had received no summons. Ben Woods did not appear at court and for his neglect in so doing, a fine of S.50 and costs was imposed, while Noble, who stood trial, was fined S25 and costs, amounting to nearly' $40. The latter was also assessed $10 for a damaged quilt. â€" Review. Couldn't Beat The Bear j Nova Scotia Egg Report I On the Dominion Poultry Depart- ' ment report of May 13th, the follow- j ing is an extract from the report of ! Jlr. A. F. Curran, Truro, N.S. This gentleman is the poultry promoter of that Province : â€" '"On visiting the Tat- amagouche Egg grading Station, I found the people very well pleased with the idea. The stores have been paying 18 cents and in districts out- side the territory served by the egg grading station, farmers were only receiving 15 cents a dozen. On the other hand the eggs sold through the grading station will net the farmer 23 cents on extras and 21 cents on firsts. Naturally the farmers are better pleased with the results of grading than they first anticipated." This is another indication of the value of egg grading and co-operative selling of poultry products. What do Grey County farmers think of it? The consumers may feel the higher price will mean dearer eggs to them. Such, is not altogether the result. When eggs are bought on the graded basis, every consumer knows what he is buying. The quality of such that no waste will occur. As an example suppose the housewife buys eggs at 60 cents a dozen but two are bad. then the cost would be 00 cents for 10 eggs or G cents each. The housekeeper would not pay any more if 72 cents were paid for a full dozen that were good as it would only be 6 cents each. Moreover, the disappointment would he a minus quantity in the latter case. Grading regulations are beneficial to everyone. A PLAIN TRUTH The village of Palgrave has a real sensation â€" one that has provided a lively topic for conversation. In the course of lumbering operations near the mill-pond, Thomas Rolley dis- turbed a bear and her cubs that had been wintering in the densely wood- ed section of this district. In a leisurely manner Lady Bruin ambled along the Huml>er rivdr banks' crossing the seventh line at a point where another prominent citi- zen of the village was examining his traps. A fox is fair game, but a bear was too much for the startled hunter, who showed a rare turn of speed in lenghthening the distance between himself and the bear. Frank Rolley and C. Jones were the next to engage the attention of the wanderer. Jones promptly "shinnied" up a sapling, while Rolley who fortunately had his horse and wagon nearby, made for the seat in a flying leap and was away with a record start. From the tree-top Jones thankfully noted the the departure of Mrs. Bruin with her two cubs securely held between her teeth. â€" Orangeville Sun A man may patronize the mail order house for yearsâ€" may send them in that time hundreds of dol- lar.-; â€" and at the same time they wouldn't accommodate him for a two- cent stamp. This is the plain un- varnished truth. If you think otherwise try it yourself and see. These out-of-town houses do not know you^are not interested in you in any way â€" only in the money you send them. Spend your money with your townsmen, who know you for what you really are, who appreciate your worth, your business, your assistance in bililding up home interests. 200,000 DOZ.

Legally there are { points at which the village clasps the country-side and goes no farther, • where township taxes take the place ' of the village rate,â€" but the Home i life goes on and on, as the ripples on ' a quiet pool, spreading in widening ' circles, but with this difference, that ] the ripples are, strangely enough, \ Coming and going. j Every passing motor, every letter â-  or telegram â€" everything, is a part of ' the Home life. 'fhe speed warnings ; at the limits are the marks of Home; | but any legal parchment would be I hopelessly futile were it to try to limit the life and interests of the '] place. Therefore it never tries. And, therefore, the paradox exists that possibly the most important of , the Home folk are the Farm Folk who live out beyond, and send their { ripples in, even as Home sends hers out. ' I shall not attempt to describe this : "ripphng" medium,â€" but whatever it â-  is (and it is beyond us to specify), it \ is a comfortable, homey affair, this 1 intercourse of everyday affairs, and ' bears fruit in other ways. , | When I picture the deal "farm folk" \ in tlieir relation to Home, it is to ' see reflected in tlie folk of one partic- ' ular farm with their little family that even now is breaking up (so rapid is 1 the march of time!) It is hard to analyse the charm of ' "the farm", where Mary and James i have made their homes since the day i when I took my first venture out of • town, with brother. There are no I particularly fine buildiny there, no i ultra fine stock, no world-beating â-  crops, for all the comfortable electric- \ lighted home and capacious banit barn j the fat cattle and sleek horses, and | the thrifty crops. It's a good farm, i without the trills, but wholesome and i comfortable. I Perhaps the magnetic part of the visit to the farm is the plain hospital- ity of Mary, which flows out in a firm handclasp Irom a hand roughened by hard toil, and in kindly services up io the limit of her strength, and some- times beyond; or perhaps it is the quiet pleasure of James at the visit of a friend, and his readiness to go a mile out of his way to convenience another.

McTAVISH 81 SON Chevrolet Dealers ^®^ tm IN MEMORIAM HANLEY â€" In loving memory of dear : father who departed this life May 20th, 1923. Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days; Sincere and true in heaart and mind, A beautiful memory left behind. Inserted by his loving daughter, â€"Mrs. C. B. Wilson. k Around the evening table the talk ebbs and flows as in the long ago I when the oil lamp's beams fought their way through the shadows to the tune of the crackling wood in the fireplace. "The roan calf has gone off Its feed, and the vet. will have to be ca! u(l in if it doesn't pork up soon." rhe oats back by the afalfa are up anil everything looks fine," or, "The LaiKos' Aid are going to liave a social at Mrs. Green's." And then, "How do you like living in the city? All right, eh? But it's so far away!" (And, in truth, it IS far away, very far away, some- times, and always TOO far away.) Thus the talk wages back and forth, liOiU far afield lo right at home. Poliiicians and politics take their tuni with the others, tlie minister, the teacher, the new teach* or milliner; â€" (luiet, liesurely, purposeless, gossip- py, interesting. The "gossip" of an evening down at the farm is little short of a sur- vey of Home life, and therefore wholesome. Tt might be called the inovies of the farm. And, after a bit, the old, thumbed Lost Heir cards appear, and the air is surcharged with excitement as the game opens up and brain matches brain in competition and bluff! But beware the farm when work is on if you are disinclined to labor man- ually and have not lost your self re- spect; â€" for farm work must be done and time will not wait. If you are to talk to James it must be on the scene of battle, and it would be a graceless being who could look idly on while others were demolishing work. On their farm Mary and James are the epitome of the farm folk. Whole- somely hard-working, hospitable, friendly folk who know how to work hard and how to rest. Down to this same farm Mary came to James while his parents were still living, to the quaint house set in be- hind the evergreens and the rioting flower garden,, and set up house-keep- ing in the orthodox manner of that dayâ€" in half of the house. That sys- tem of home-making is not as popular as it used to be, â€" if it ever was pop- ular, â€" or as common, if it was not; and one imagines it never could be particularly popular. But the old people finally went "on" and the home was resigned entirely to the new family; and now the young folk are leaving, and of an evening the parents may sometimes sit alone and watch the sunset glow in the sky and quietly live their way deeper into the scene where they fit so naturally. There s nothing spectacular in the life of the farm folk at Home, but there is also nothing artificial, and the shams are stripped with a mercilesi, hand. Life is a practical affair of hard work, of bickering and bargain- ing and close contact with the reali- ties of life. And the visitor to the Farm Polk's homes is a privileged person if he can find a point of contact and informally sink into the surroundings where he must take a secondary place to the activities of the day, absolutely cast- ing aside he hypocricies of caste that he gathers elsewhere. Around the farms of Home the only caste it that established by the sweat of the brow. New .'forms" raised elsewhere can not stand a world where hard labor is the test of a man's ability to .size up to his opportunity in this world. Realities raise the Farm Folk to a higher plane than the common arti- ficialities of the life of those out in the great cities.
